The spinal is fine - it's the thought of it more than the actual procedure - even now I'm nervous again, but seriously it is a piece of p*ss.
I'm ok - got really painful ligaments in my upper abdo so it's hard doing anything - like walking!
Apart from that I'm feeling well, just hoping this little one stays where it is for the next 10 weeks!
Gotta go to bed now - went out tonight for the first time in ages (after 8pm anyway!)
Not long for you now - you getting excited????xx
The spinal doesn't hurt - because I was such a baby (bawling my eyes out!) the anaesthetist was so good - she used the smallest needle possible and went really slowly. I can honestly say I didn't feel anything - a tiny bit of pushing but even that was nothing. It was over so quickly.
The only thing I'm worried about is having to have an epidural cos I'll obviously be having the section and then I'm being sterilised as well, so I don't know their policy on spinals/epidurals for this. The epidural needle is much bigger than that of the spinal which is why I'm panicking!
As for the catheter - that is nothing, they put it in when you're numb so you can't even feel it. To take it back they just pull it out slowly. Again, doesn't hurt - just feels a bit odd.
You'll be fine - and then you can come back and tell me all about it afterwards. I just keep in mind that Posh, Jordan and other celebs have done it so if they can I can!

Yeah the scans could be reassurance after you lost your little lad. It made me laugh that you were the one that suggested not going in so often - I was like that with my consultant cos he was seeing me every 4 weeks in the hospital! Soon put a stop to that one - the idea of sitting with 30 sweaty (sometimes smelly) pregnant women for hours at a time was so not my idea of fun!
I'm getting a bit anxious re the op - more so because I've started suffering panic attacks in the last year and I know that once I'm in there there's no leaving LOL!!! Ah well, just have to get through it I guess!
My 4yr ds is sooooo excited about the bubs - he talks about it all the time and is always cuddling my bump and talking to it and singing 'special songs' bless him! Hope it continues afterwards mind.... my 17 year old is a bit non-plussed as expected, she thinks I've had too many kids already but I know she's secretly getting excited cos she keeps coming up to my belly and waking it up to feel some kicks! She's never in anyway so it won't affect her overly.
Bloody hell do you realise you might only have 5 weeks left??? I'm not helping am I? LOL
How bout your little girl (I do know her name but preggie brain kicking in!) is she excited?
Good to hear from you too - maybe we should keep this going as a bump buddie thing til you pop yours out!xx
