I'm now mainly working while doing a bit of studying on the side (which I imagine will carry on for the next few years)  . |
At the last ultrasound they were 90% it's a girl. I will go on the last ultrasound next week and then we'll probably know for sure.
So what are you working with? Do you enjoy it?

By the end of this pregnancy, I will probably have gained almost 1/3 of my normal weight, so my body is certainly uncomfortable! I have always favoured egg laying - anything that keeps the thing out of my body would have been appreciated!

As for birthing, I suspect pushing a watermelon through a keyhole is probably about as pleasant. Will you be using drugs to get around the acute and lengthy pain, CE?

Oh, I haven't thought about that yet. The pain of delivery doesn't bother me at all, it's merely physical pain for a very limited amount of time and I can stand physical pain very well. After all, even my petit body has evolved to endure childbirth.
There are many pain relief methods that can be used, and one doesn't need to decide that in advance, one can wait and see how long and painful the labour will be. The pain of endless months and months of sleepless nights and horrible screaming bothers me a lot more!
