# my boyfriend said to me this morning
"we are going to have three kids, and you are going to stay home and look after them"

Arrrgh!
So good luck to Trellis, I hope you have fun with the baybe :)

# I wouldn't stand for that.
I'm not going to be a stay-at-home-mum, I'll work for a living like mine did, and show my kids the value of a hard day's work and of money. If I could ever afford to sit around on my arse watching Bargain Hunt whilst precious Tarquin learns Swahili on his Fisher Price whatever I still don't think I would. Bit too much respect for myself, you know? Having a kid doesn't mean my life's over.

Or at least, that's how I see it. Plus it's much more likely that the manwife will be the one at home.

although i think he was joking ;)

all the same, I'd want a career over kids

# I'm not really career driven as such
I just know that if I stay here all day with wee ones I'll go stir crazy. The first year or so, maybe, but after that it's a bloody team effort between me and the wife whether he likes it or not.

I never had you as a stay at home mum. I always thought of you as an in the garden or up at tree mum.

# In a perfect world only one person would need to work
and the other would be able to spend all day bringing up children (which is really the most important job) but it's unlikely that this will be possible unless you've got crazy money.

I guess in the end we all do the best we can with what we have.

# I'm of the firm belief
that nursery is great for kids- they learn how to be around their peers BEFORE they get to schooling age. I'll definitely be sending mine, if only so they can get used to a larger social circle than I can provide for them.

That's when I'll go back to work.

# I know I'll get a torrent of replies but I think only one needs to
IT's just people have forgotten to spend their money. I think that the more that two people work the more they spend on 'saving time'.

# Dear Wobbly
Hoping to avoid the pethidine cos of the nasty things it could do to Trellis TNG, but I will be tucking heartily into the entonox, which gets me just as giggly :)

# ^this
And (in these days of epidurals) why would you risk a drugged baby, being unable to breast feed? Epidurals are pretty good, though hopefully you won't need anything but a bit of entonox.

Dear Mrs T -- the very best of luck!

Here's advice from my limited but recent experience, in the hope it's helpful (I'm sure I wrote this before, but can't find it now). If not helpful just ignore it!

If your Plan A is for a home birth:
- if your Plan A does not work out, you'll probably want to switch to Plan B before you are exhausted; how will you know? you'll probably need your midwife to understand your wishes & plans, and to help you assess how it's going;
- therefore: don't be brave and wait for contractions every 3 mins before calling the midwife (I'm assuming usual NHS arrangement whereby you basically get a random midwife you've never met before), or there'll be no time for you to brief her on what your Plan A - Plan B switch-point is, set up the working relationship etc.

Breast feeding: it's actually very difficult. The best way to learn is to ask a midwife to watch you and advise you *every time*, if you can. There are about 100+ useful little tricks and tips, but you have to drag that knowledge out of them!

Weeing: Your tired pelvic floor will have lost sensation, so you may need to set an alarm clock to tell you to go and wee every 2 hours for the first 48 hours or so. It's a right drag, but avoids bladder straining your pelvic floor, and accidents. You can stop when need-to-wee sensation returns.

Keep an eye (or get your hubby to) on what the midwives & doctors are doing (eg: drug and drip doses and times), but they're mostly excellent.

Good luck!
PS: make sandwiches now and put them in the fridge/freezer -- there's barely time to even re-heat a meal in the first 2 days!
PPS: Babies are FAB!
