[fiona]

Q: Should I have a baby after 35?
A: No, 35 children is enough.

A: With any luck, right after he finishes college.


Q: What is the most reliable method to determine a baby's sex?
A: Childbirth.


Q: My wife is five months pregnant and so moody that sometimes she's borderline irrational.
A: So what's your question?


Q: My childbirth instructor says it's not pain I'll feel during labour, but pressure. Is she right?

Q: When is the best time to get an epidural?
A: Right after you find out you're pregnant.


Q: Is there any reason I have to be in the delivery room while my wife is in labour?
A: Not unless the word 'alimony' means anything to you.


Q: Is there anything I should avoid while recovering from childbirth?

would have loved to do it, do you watch when you have time, Discovery Health over these last few weeks theyve been fiming home birth diaries around Brighton, i saw an old very good friends sister, a midwife out shoreham near brighton and hove, i havent seen her for.......well since at least 1977!!!!!!!!!
how lucky, i remember her training!!!!!!
got to be one of the most worthwhile jobs ever in my opinion

I looked into Midwifery, earlier this year, as our local University do a two/three year course but with two children one at school and the other just two thought I would put it on the back burner until they were a bit older.

Have taken a career change already worked as a Senior Adminstrator for a Financial Company and now am Registered Childminder so have got a very small taste of looking after other peoples children but can give them back at the end of the day[msntongue][msntongue]

Kerry-Ann, exactly the same route my wife took, looked at training for midwifery but with two small one's not feasible right now.

So now she's a registered child minder...

Brizzle,

Joking aside I do enjoy it have been registered for 7 years and done it full time since the two year old was born. [msnsmile2]

i have 6 kids and looked into child minding 16 years ago, but after having my daughter Terri (who will be 16 on Tues) developed the problem that i have with my knees but back in those days it was in the upper body!! gone through all the fire checks and various things that were required then, couldnt cope with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my friends a registered childminder and i never get to see her anymore, well i could but i like my peace and quiet after the grandkids have gone home!!!!!!! and i look after me grandson Bradley who is 9 months old and a treasure!!!!!!!!!!!!!

all my life i wanted to be a midwife, but havent got the get up and go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wish i had done more when i left school
