"Any dignity you have left goes out the window" How very true! First you have to go through being proded and poked by strangers....ok..you get to know your midwife after the first couple of prods but no one prepares you for what comes next.
Having had to have an emergency c-section, that phrase rang out loud and clear..I even remember giggling on the operating table in agreement. Toby was born to an audience of about a dozen. Fine for him but when you have no control over your bodily functions due to medication......
Anyway, a very helpful friend of mine provided me with the ultimate mummy device (stop smiling to yourself, you know who you are!) We decided to give it a test run yesterday. We logged on to the manufacturer's website and read the instructions and ensured that the device was put together as specified. We stepped through the directions...and lo and behold, the river burst its banks and a torrent rushed forth. Not that we noticed. We were both collapsed on the floor, in tears laughing whilst trying not to spill anything. It was one of those cherished moments that a couple share...never to be forgotten! We have decided to park the device for now, at least till I don't collapse in a fit of giggles when I see it.
If you haven't yet guessed, the device was a breast pump.

Ha ha ha! I had that problem too.
Any sign of mulberries?
No mulberries yet but then I prefer grapes!
