Hi Debs I found that going back to work gave me all the confidence I needed as working where I work you have to argue even for your holidays, I mean they were saying things like your child is still a baby so you don't need the time off in the school holidays so you can't have his 1st birthday off and do you know thats when it finally hit me I thought Jess you wouldn't of been spoken to like that b4 your sah so don't take it now, and take it I didn't I said right then I will have it has unpaid parental leave they gave it me has holiday in the end LOL. Welcome to the group debs look forward to getting to know you.

Hi Marie and welcome to behindthegray I am sorry you had to find us but we will all be here whenever you need to talk I had my sah 6yrs ago this september, and I can relate very well to the feelings of doom however everyone on this site helped get me through it, it does get easier it may not feel like it's gonna at this moment in time but it will. I have had to children since mine one 5 in october the other 1 in september, so it will get easier I was 23 when mine ruptured. Jess.xxx

Ellen can I just say our concerns are no greater than yours at the end of the day if it causes you concern then it is serious, however how long ago did you have it I still have days like that nearly 6yrs on. LOL it takes along time for your brain to heal. Jess.xxx

Hi Tina I wear those glasses that change colour only they always change colour. LOL. Oh and when I read your post about how heavy your kids were I was supposed to answer but forgot sorry. Garry was 8.3 Shayne 8.2. I hate eyetests aswell especially the one that they blow into your eye. LOL. Jess.xxx hope you have a nice day today.

Hi there Linzi myself personally would have the op maybe that is because of Garry and Shayne my 2 little ones. I wouldn't feel safe without it. Only you can make that choice though, and about the legal stuff I too was going to sue the first hospital I was in as by the time I got to the second one sat to wednesday night I was really dehydrated and things however I changed my mind as I thought well even if they give me 20,000 how many lives will it cost they need the money. Anyhow perhaps thats why they did not tell you perhaps they wanted you strong and well before they did ( still wrong though ). I had a brain hem also a weak spot clipped within 4 months and it may of been me with the ear things, however I get headaches even now so i am not sure you wouldn't be. Goodluck with whatever you decide to do. Jess.xxx

Hi Tina Garry is 4 he is the one they wanted me to get rid of as I was pregnant so soon but he was my first and really wanted and Shayne is nearly 8 months. Jess.xxx

Hi Tina welcome to the site it is great here always someone to offer help and advice I had a sah in sept 02 an aneurysm clipped jan 03 I have since had 2 children who are both adorable. Jess.xxx Look forward to getting to know you

Hi there Leo I have a lump on the one side but it's where my bone ain't gone in far enough unless it was the other side being put in to far but mine have been here for 5yrs so i guess it will stay like it. Jess.xxx Sorrt I couldn't be more helpful.
