That's all that matters in the end. No matter how much grief they give you as they grow up, as long as you can be proud of them then you have done a great job in bringing them up.

As long as you haven't recently. It was my midwife that told me this, there were five of us doing anti natal and we joined up again after, two of us had had difficult births, she asked the same question, and yes we were both riders, the others weren't.
Apparently horse riders have more problems because the pelvic muscles are much stronger.
Very odd I thought!

I couldn't have done it without my TENS machine, worth a shot. Had my son at home with that.

Yes, TENS is ace! I've now bought one from Lloyds Chemist to use when my back it bad, it works a treat! (But don't use this for pregnancy, get one from your midwife!!)

you have to hire them in our region Tesco do them i think. As for the horse riding thanks Lou i won't be horse riding again til after the birth

I hired my Tens, it kept me going for 40 odd hours (that's how good it is), I only had to give up on it when the silly midwife suggested a bath and I had to take it off, it didn't do any good after that!

well if Becky wasnt positive she was never having kids, the horse riding fact has swung it. lol
