Back pains, water infections, swollen feet, tender breasts, stomach cramps - I can deal with. But, fannyache - my lord that hurts.
There is no other way to describe it - fannyache - like someone stuck a two ton piece of lead up there and asked you to carry it around for 9 months! It bloody knacks!

F - Finding out
Conversations with random people I barely know
#Take 1
RPIBK: Are you going to find out the sex?
Me: Yes. I think so.
RPIBK: Oh but you can't, you mun't. Please don't
Me: Welll, we both want to.
RPIBK: Oh no! Don't. Please, just promise me you'll think about it.
Me:Erm... ok [walking away, said under my breath] even though I'll probably never speak to you again.
#Take 2
RPIBK: Are you finding out?
Me: Yes we are.
RPIBK: Brilliant [claps hands with unnecessary delight]. I'm so pleased! you will tell me won't you when you know.
Me: Erm... ok. [walking away, said under my breath] but the next time I see you the baby will probably be able to tell you itself.
I mean, what is that all about?
Be it my sister, best friend, colleague or an acquaintance who was pregnant , I wouldn't really care if they were finding out or not. It's such a personal preference - plus why would it have anything to do with me?
Some people like to know, some people want a surprise. It's up to them. Some people need to be prepared.
I found out with all three mine. Each time it was a surprise, I just got the surprise 4 months earlier and it meant I could go shopping - bonus! But that's what we wanted. I have no will power as well, so even with the second when I thought I wouldn't find out I caved as soon as I got in the scanning room.
Whatever you do, let it be your choice and don't listen to random people you barely know - who are they anyway?

F - First Words
I have a theory that these first words, which are desperate and needy parenting hears yearn to hear, have more significance than we give them credit for.
I mean there are many they can pick from, most of us and phonetically introducing them to new sounds as soon as they can focus "Duh-O- Guh" we over pronounce as the family pet skulks out of the room in search of some attention. So the one's they choose surely have to be important, it can't be down to just chance. I predict my children's fist words are an indication to their future career.
Eldest - "chicken" - vet/farmer
Youngest "ball" - sportsman/juggler
I will keep you updated in -" A modern parent's encyclopedia; the final years"
