My issue with this terrifying, terrifying film is that I have to watch it to the end. Spider weirdness at the end? Not scary at all. Sends me off to bed happy, completely exorcised.

I think it's maybe more common in the US to give strict advise about those things. unless you have stitches, I suppose, I think most women are just told to do what they feel.

Everyone is different, if you feel fine, go for it. There aren't any rules other than are you up for it.

2 weeks from the sex is when a test is positive, 14 days. 4 weeks from last period.

Got my first aged 21, runs in the family, the women anyway. I have just recently eshewed the dye, I am hoping I will end up looking like Caitlin Moran with a cool grey stripe, but its a bit all over for that.

Sorry if I sounded antsy, the article kind of annoyed me as there are far more important things than this to be up in arms about.

Exactly, it is silly to distract attention from the ACTUAL problem of the bill by getting bothered about standard medical dating. Blimey!

This is how it is measured everywhere.

Medical advice in the UK is an extra 300 calories a day in the last trimester only, so it varies in different countries. (I am a GP)

Just as well there are no drunk anti-abortion protesters in kilts, I suppose someone could stagger in by mistake from a ceiladh...

No, just a victim of Madame Bovary, can I also nominate Victor Hugo as one of the most over-rated writers of all time? It's like bad soap-opera, everyone in his books is someone else's long lost twin/daughter/son.

In britain you are allowed a max of two embryos to be implanted if under 40, three if over 40.

I am sure someone I know was told as a child that the ice-cream van only played money when it was out of icecream. Or was that in a TV show - someone enlighten me?

yes, yes, Timothy Dalton as Mr Rochester in the BBC series from 1983, always the best. The Jane in that was suitably plain and small but bolshy, just right.

"Seriously, these 19th c. Russian writers give me a stomach ache."

We don't hold it against you, we apologise in our turn for crazy drunk people in kilts.

OK, need to add that in England (I am in Scotland) a more terminations are done by independant providers, paid for by the NHS, so that probably does mean that BPAS have a bigger role than I had thought.

Yeah, the latest figures showed only 1.4% of terminations were performed over 20 weeks gestation - the fact is that easy and safe access to terminations early means that it is rare for women to leave it that late, these are likely done for abnormalities found at the 20 week anomaly scan.

Yeah, there is no issue here with Government money paying for abortions, it's just one other thing that goes on in normal hospitals (I think there are a few catholic hospitals in London but they are very rare.)

It's important to remember that there are very few doctors in the UK who do abortions and nothing else. Most abortions are done in NHS hospitals by NHS gynaecologists who will also deliver your baby and fix your granny's prolapse.
