So, luckily for you, I'm here testing out the WiFi facilities a bit earlier than expected! :)

Last time we bought the Du cards in the pharmacy but they were out of stock today. DH stopped at the petrol station on the way home and the lady there told him the standard top-up cards were for phone credit only (I don't know how true this is - maybe someone else will know?).

If you have a credit card, you can use that to connect but it's more expensive than using the cards. Or, your third option is to use your login and password details from your home Du account, if you have one. I've done this and it works :D.

I did an interview last week and the subject happily admitted if men had to have babies they'd either have worked out how to grow them in labs or we'd all have died out years ago.

Try to rest and relax. You are in good hands, just some more patience. After all this is not a "man flu" :)

On Thursday, but my blood pressure has been up and down again today and I feel horrendous so we're going to reassess in the morning. Thank heavens for WiFi, that's all I can say!

You are so kind in you reply! When will you be 37 weeks? Hope you are not too bored.

I am - my blood pressure was too high at the weekend so I had to come in for monitoring. We were worried we may have to deliver today or tomorrow but things look like they're stabilising so hopefully we'll be able to hang out till 37 weeks or more. Re the major life change, there's no sugar coating it. It is probably the single biggest change you'll have at this stage of your life (especially if you've had so long by yourselves and didn't think this would happen) but you learn to ride out the tough bits and enjoy the rest. I've found having a baby strengthens your relationship no end, but also causes some of the most bitter arguments you'll ever have. Thankfully along with the arguments comes some kind of understanding that it's likely stress or tiredness causing them, and you learn to forgive each other so quickly without even needing to try. And I so hear you about the balloon thing! It is so unbelievably wearing :(. But the end is in sight. My Mum left this morning and I am being a big baby about it. She's been doing a sterling job of looking after me this past week and it was just awful when she left :(.

Thanks! I am looking forward to the delivery date, these last weeks/days are tiring and I am looking more and more like the aerostatic baloon at Ibn Battuta Mall. But at the same time I do not want to rush things since I do not know what to expect, how my personal life will change and how my relationship with my husband will change, after being married for ten years thinking we could not have children (and finding a perfect balance in the situation). And even if I am not a "baby", I am a bit lost at the idea of not having my mum with me. So really thanks again, good luck to you, my obgyn is from another clinic and uses the City for deliveries, but I go to the City Hospital also to see another doctor and I like the structure and the staff so I am positive: we will be ok :)! but wait, you are already there?
