As her doctor, should you be revealing her medical history?

A good friend of mine has a condition which means she doesn't have regular periods, if at all. Two weeks ago she discovered she's 6 months pregnant and due in February. Unfortunately for her, and more importantly the wee bairn, she's a massive drinker, a 'socialite' on the wine at lunch and every night with the soaps, and plenty of beer at the weekends. She even went to Oktoberfest.

My Mrs is currently 4 months pregnant. She only vomited once or twice but suffered oodles of retching - any smell would set her off. Seems to have calmed down and all going well.

Well actually that's not true. Spondylarthritis, 2 slipped discs, hypermobility and fibromyalgia and the fact a stupid consultant needlessly took her off all medication straight away means she can barely walk without crutches and is in constant agony, but fingers crossed it'll all be worth it. Baba is fine & growing nicely.

As for Kate & Wills - good luck to 'em.

Careful, if you're not nice he'll accuse you of being a sheep, make some strange noises, have a paddy and then lock the thread.

The crock comes from you supposing that once she's had a baby or 2 then she will be surplus to requirements. Charlie may have been a complete lover and was in love with Camilla, but Diana did naively actually love the guy. Everything that I've read about William is that he's nothing like his father and this is a couple that do actually love each other.

Congtats Cronus. And for the very reason you have quoted about Mrs Cronus is why I am chosing not to have children (apart from the fact I have no maternal bone in my body ). I totally understand what she must be going through, its hard enough looking after yourself with the condition let alone a dependant baby. Good luck to you both and hope she can get back on her meds soon after the babys born.

I think that's exactly the sort of behaviour currently being addressed by Leveson. It's far from a thing of the past.

Well congratulations to them and I hope it goes well.

As someone sarcastically added in the comments to the Daily Mail website's story - they will be pleased - makes life easy for them for the next 6 months! (I would suggest rather more than 6 months if things go well with the pregnancy / birth).

Sure enough, today their website is in over-drive - even computerised mock ups of what the child might look like if it's a boy or a girl. Quite frankly, I think that is distateful. What about Leveson?

Leveson is an attack on a free press and the ability of newspapers to commoditise the private lives of others, and sexualise underage girls for profit.

I thought he wasn't allowed to marry Camilla because she's a Cathoilc.

He wasn't allowed to marry Camilla because she was married.
At that time.

Ah yes, the old "But you're already married!" ploy.

What about Leveson?
I wasn't aware that it covered taste.
