Flying when pregnant

[DX Wombat]

On a lighter note girls, have you noticed that prior to becoming pregnant all your friends and relatives stress the wonders and joys of babies (all true - they are truly wonderful creatures who DO bring a lot of joy) and tell you how well you will look and feel during pregnancy? Once you announce that you are pregnant they all go into "Doom and Gloom" mode and happily recount tales of such lurid detail and fantastic imagination that you wonder how you are going to survive? Take no notice! Great Aunt Ethel who was told she should NEVER have another baby because she was so ill during pregnancy that she nearly died, will turn out to have produced several babies and Aunt Flo's friend's friend's daughter's friend who "was in labour for over three weeks" and was never EVER going to have any more than that first baby will have gone on to produce a healthy brood of half a dozen assorted infants. Take the tales with a HUGE pinch of (the proverbial, not actual) salt. They mean well, it's just that they have an odd way of demonstrating this. Good luck to all of you who are pregnant (or thinking about it). I hope you all have a smooth pregnancy and delivery and are able to enjoy to the full your new, healthy baby for many years to come.
