Well said!smileys/smilies_13.gif

After reading these posts I decided to go buy the book to see what all the fuss was about and I have to say I'm hooked! I love Twilight and have almost finished it after only a day. I got nothing...

I'm not sure. I do have OCD compulsions but it is to do with my emet. Like if I have just left the house but don't know if I've turned the lights off...I won't check but then I think if I don't...

Not even a little bit.

Yes I agree and you will see that a lot of us have OCD or some form of it as well. There is absolutely no reason to be ashamed. There are millions of people with a phobia of some sort (my friend...

Both. Me, anyone else, on the telly, in a book/magazine anything and anywhere!! If I had to choose obviously I would rather someone else do it than me but even hearing it brings on a panic attack.

I'm kind of debating here but surely then that is mind over matter...you know its going to happen so your mind is accepting it and therefore your brain is going to allow it...this could go on...!

Yes I agree because obviously there have been times when I have v*d and I REALLY did not want to! I think this is also maybe that subconciously I gave in and let it happen (as I said earlier, usually...

That's good advice. I don't know any midwives but I could ask the hospital if I could shadow one of their shifts and explain why. That would also look good on my university application (which I have...

To be fair he didn't realise how bad my phobia was at that time - he certainly did after! And he has been a rock when the kids were ever ill. He even took care of my son and drove him to the doctors...

Thanks! That's what I'm hoping. I have had two kids with no v* during labour but my best friend did it all through her labour! I know you are all right but I could never deal with the kids when they...

That's great. I'm going to look it up on the internet.

Really? That is so great. How do you cope though if one of your kids gets s*? I really admire you.

That is funny especially as one of my things was that I wanted to be a teacher but only of little kids and you know what happens there!

You are right - v* is not a usual symptom of labour but it...

Just wondered what you think...would like to run something by you...

OK so I'm out of work at the moment for the first time ever. I can't get a job in my field (or anyone elses for that matter!)...

I think its good to be reminded when we are worried of all the times we have been ok. (And for the record, I was fine the other night). I know it helps me and makes me a bit calmer at stress times. ...

Yes you are right because of course there have been times when I have v* no matter what I've done. On my birthday (!) 2006 I got a bug. I started feeling sick at about 9.30 in the evening and it...

I agree with that. My mind always causes me to feel sick at one point or another nearly every day - even now I feel a bit iffy because my throat felt funny earlier and I keep thinking that its...

Hiya. I'm new too and have found these boards really helpful for me this week when I was having a panic attack! Welcome. x

Yeah I agree. Although it could be that your grandpa did have the bug at the party. I remember once when I was a kid (and I must have been young because I think I was ok at that time) my stomach was...

Sorry - can't sleep because I've been exposed to SV and I'm scared if I sleep I will wake up feeling s*. So I'm ranting around here instead!

If you are ever worried then just bear these things...

Just thinking...does anyone believe in mind over matter? I'm sure if you believe enough that you are not going to v* when you feel bad then you won't. You really have to believe it though. This...
