Hope you feel better soon - just rest with the lo as much as poss.

Think its really good of your hubby to say he'll entertain your mindee later - he must be getting in the practice

Oh the only thing he doesnt know how to do is change a nappy but trust me he will soon learn!!

I'd reccommend having another straight away!

I have 11 months between my first 2. Should have been 12 but the second one was prem! It was all planned too.

There is only 11 months between me and my elder sister (I was an accident!) but we loved growing up as almost "twins". Wanted the same for my children. I got one of each but they are still very close to each other.

Oh and I nearly forgot to say, have a relaxing day, chill out. We all need it now and again, well I know I do and I'm not pregnant!

Take it easy today, after all it's Friday!

When my DS used to go to private nursery, often when I would collect him the children would be watching a video of Tweenies. It's good for children to have quiet time watching TV, and to give you a break of course. Put your feet up and watch the DVD together.

My two sons were born 15 months apart (both planned) and I regularly get asked by Joe Public if they are twins! It's so nice to see them play together and they love each other very much. DS2 cries for DS1 when he is at a friend's house as he misses him. DD was born 30 months or so after DS2. No plans for any more!

Take care,

enjoy your free play day

we always go with the flow on school holidays, the kids tell me what they want to do. usually all they want to do is play with each other.

I hope you feel ok soon. I remember my final weeks felt like what you are mentioning. Especially the sharp pain in the pubic bone..ouch! I can still feel it

**fionamal** · 30-05-2008, 10:13 AM

I hope you feel better soon Louise.

Take care of that little one as well.

I have 13 months between my 2 and theyre very close and loving to each other so its has its good points with having kids close together but it is hard work.

**Spangles** · 30-05-2008, 12:33 PM

No need to feel guilty as is it not 80% child initiated and 20% adult led that we are supposed to be aiming for ? Its not your fault mindee fell asleep during your 20% is it ???? Take care

i am sure your slow day will have no ill effects on the child

**Blaze** · 31-05-2008, 07:07 PM

Just wanted to say...it sounds like you have an inflamed pubic bone (something I have suffered from with both of my previous pregnancies)...you need to speak with your midwife/Dr...as you may not be able to continue minding (dependent on the severety).

yes thankyou i have an appointment made for thursday. It seems to hurt when i roll over mostly. But then its only bad if i've done alot of exercise. When i've then rested for a day it seems to be fine.

**Blaze** · 31-05-2008, 07:15 PM

Let us know how you get on on Thurs...that's the problem with an inflamed pubi bone...the more you rest...the less it hurts...the more you do & the bigger the baby gets...the worse it gets...at the end you can be in agony even when you've rested...it's not uncommon to end up in a wheelchair for the last weeks of pregnancy...not trying to scare you as you may have a mild case & it may remain that way...just wanted to make you aware that you may have to terminate your contracts with immediate effect on medical grounds or at least take a longer leave due to medical grounds.

Oh no i know your not trying to scare me. I only have 1 mindee at the moment anyway and i appreciate you warning me that i may have to terminate the contracts. I'm planning on working right up until 38 weeks so i hope its not that bad. But if i have to then i have to!
