What about the baby boom that came about because of the power cuts back in the 70s? That sure kept the midwives busy!

We celebrated our 10th anniversary when we were in Borneo. When I asked my amah to babysit that night, and told her why, she pointed at our elder son and said 'But he is six, WHY?' !!!! It then came out she had had two miscarriages before her sons were born and was trying to ask whether I had also suffered (I hadn't).

The poor woman was a widow, her husband was run over by an ambulance, when she got to the hospital to claim the body another wife had already done so - she did not know of the existence of that woman. This was before I knew her.

Obviously I was heavily pregnant on our 10th anniversary, (a Friday) but we went with our mates for 'early doors' as we had done for years (we usually got thrown out of the pub at around 11.30), but left early to go for dinner at a small bistro on Kew Green appropriately called 'The Bun in the Oven'.

Almost all the women in there were pregnant and there was a permanent queue for the loo of blooming bellies with their owners going 'excuse, me excuse me' as we tried to manoeuvre past each other.

If someone wrote that story as a plot for a film of tv series, we would all be either laughing or say "yeah right, I don't believe that one"

I bet she didn't know what to feel, devastated or furious. Poor woman
