I think bad news generally travels faster than good news, Fay. If anything was up, I'm sure you'd know by now. How's the news coverage been in Egypt?
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

Family all OK - none are in London. I've several friends who could be involved, but don't know when I'll hear from them.
I was in a lot of the affected areas just a couple of months ago. It doesn't bear thinking about.

For those keeping track, here is an update on my pregnancy situation.
I feel like I've spent the past 11 weeks doing little else but battling doctors and authorities. However, things have been otherwise uneventful, which is GOOD.
But now we're getting closer to my due date (I'm 33 weeks now), my status is becoming rather more critical again. So in about 2 weeks I'll be going back to hospital for more bedrest and checks. Right now it's a matter of getting through the next few weeks without another bleed, though my OB thinks going straight away would be unwarranted, hence the waiting two weeks. I'm grateful for this, because it means I can enjoy my last few days alone with B. and get things ready for our new family member.
At about 38 weeks at the latest, provided I haven't have the Big Bad Bleed, they'll do an elective c-section.
I'm working on picking a hospital with internet access, though it's not guaranteed (stoopid 20th century clinics).

Ugh, Fiona. May you find an antenatal unit with internet access and decent food.
Take it easy, drink plenty of fluids (for the usual "preventing dehydration related contractions" reasons), and fingers crossed that you go bleed-free for the next five weeks.

I wasn't in London, and so far it looks like no-one in my immediate circle was affected, either-- though I expect that in the next few weeks, any connections I have to the 38 dead and 700 injured will become apparent. As has been remarked, we're all being quite stoic, and most of us are bloodyminded sorts who won't refuse to travel by Tube in the future.
Best of luck, Fiona. *sends -ma*

What is even happening?
Fay and Fiona, best thoughts for your friends, and for your peace of mind.
I think bad news generally travels faster than good news, Fay. If anything was up, I'm sure you'd know by now.That's what I've been thinking, Jars. The people who hear the good news stop worrying, so the information slows down, as it's no longer fueled by concern.
But now we're getting closer to my due date (I'm 33 weeks now), my status is becoming rather more critical again. So in about 2 weeks I'll be going back to hospital for more bedrest and checks.

I hope you pass the time easily and quickly, Fiona. And, what Plei said wrt drinking as much water as possible, and an addition of, when you can lie down, do. When you can't lie down, sit. When you can't sit, sit anyhow.
What does B think about becoming a big brother?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Good luck (without blood), Fiona!

Well, we've reactivated our WiFi and my old laptop, so I'm back to surfing in bed again.
What does B think about becoming a big brother?
So far he's been extremely positive. He is fascinated by our friends' babies, and makes a big deal of cuddling and kissing my belly. It's very sweet. Of course, we don't necessarily expect it to last, but it bodes well for now.
