    While I was working in a maternity unit, I answered the phone to more than one woman wanting to know if it's safe to eat curry when you're pregnant/breastfeeding?  My usual answer was:. "It doesn't seem to do millions of Indian babies any harm.". Another woman rang in a panic to tell us she'd swallowed a plum stone.  Yes?  "But I'm pregnant!". Yes?  "Well, what about the baby?!". Relax, the baby's in your uterus, the plum stone is in your digestive tract, they don't join up.
    Hahaha this just made me cry laughing! 

    I have to agree with all of the posts about germs though, a whole market born off the back of people’s fears! Genius!

    I remember a friend whose baby was overdue saying that she was going to try rhubarb and olive oil. My mind boggled TMI
    IT was only days later that I realised she meant to eat it.

    DDW advertising is about giving you a fear of something that had never occurred to you and then telling you they can sell you  the perfect solution. Religion is pretty much the same.

    I rarely look in the mirror and if I do I'm usually flying out the door, just making sure my face is clean and hair somewhat tidy looking..........I see a middle aged woman, surprises me all the time!  How...........when..........did all that grey hair appear, as if overnight.  Those 'smile' lines......I sometimes see my Gran (a younger version!), various aunts.  I'm exactly double my eldest child's age this year......where did all those years go?  How fast time seems to pass as we age.
