For several years, using our bathroom mirror, I thought you know, not bad. Not too shabby at all for your age, girl. Then last year I finally caved in to the fact that I could no longer type or read properly without some glasses... and oh! dear God... then I looked in the mirror whilst wearing them.

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!
The lack of sleep and stress doesn't help young parents to be fair. It all gets a bit surreal and confusing at times. When my son was 3 months old he developed a severe hernia and was booked in for an urgent operation (urgent by NHS standards). Until they fixed him we were having to deflate the hernia by hand. As he was breast fed my wife had to stop eating anything that gave him excess wind or it would inflate like a balloon and he'd be in a lot of pain, the more he cried the worse it got. Curries were firmly off the menu at that point. We also ended up totally hygene paranoid as if he got ill they would have had to cancel the op and we would be back down the waiting list spending our nights consoling our inflatable baby. Now he's all fixed though and can enjoy a good trump as much as any young boy can. I hadn't even considered before then that what mum eats would affect the baby. We'd be up with him in the early hours trying to work out what she'd eaten to cause it and taking that off the menu in future.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Poorer eyesight is just nature's way of hiding your wrinkles. When I look in the mirror,I see my mum. When I look at her now, I know what I'll look like in twenty odd years.
