Having a baby My sister, Susan, got pregnant in October and her baby was born in July.

She waited until the second trimester to tell people the good news, as by then there is less risk of having a miscarriage. During the pregnancy she had terrible morning sickness and she also had cravings for pickles and iced tea. Susan and her husband, Brian, prepared their house before she went into hospital. They decorated the nursery, and also bought some baby e uipment, such as a baby bath, a changing mat, a baby carrier, a cot, a mobile and some soft toys. They got uite a lot of baby clothes from their friends and family, so they didn!t ha"e to buy any. The birth itself was uncomplicated. She went into labour at around midnight, and the baby was born shortly after at # a.m. She didn$t feel too much pain, although she hadn!t asked for an epidural. %nstead, the doctor put her on o&ytocin drips to make the contractions come a little uicker. 'er midwife was with her during the birth, (ust to make sure that e"erything went well. )uckily, it was a normal delivery and she didn$t need a Caesarean section. The doctor cut the cord and put the baby on her chest so that she can try to breastfeed the baby. to get pregnant* teherbe esni to be born * megs+,letni trimester * trimes+ter to have a miscarriage * el"et-lni morning sickness * reggeli ross+ull-t craving * k."/n0ss/g nursery * gyereks+oba baby bath * babak/d changing mat * pelenk/+0 matrac baby carrier * gyerekhordo+0 cot * b1lcs2 mobile * forg0 3kis/gy felett4 uncomplicated * komplik/ci0mentes to go into labour * megindul a s+,l-s epidural * epidur/lis -r+-stelen.t-s drips * inf5+i0 contractions * 1ss+eh5+0d/s, f/(/s midwife * s+,l-s+n2

Since 6><8, bank*notes ha"e been made from cotton paper but the Bank of Ingland has carried out three years of research on switching to polymer notes. These can be wiped clean and sur"i"e a hot washing machine cycle at @B degrees. %n September, the Bank said it would initially look only at changing the T< and T6B notes, with the first one being the new T< featuring Sir Hinston Ghurchill in 7B6=. 9t the time, it promised to do nothing unless the public approved. ;olymer notes are already used in more than 7B countries, including 9ustralia, Kew Qealand, Me&ico, Singapore and Mauritius as well as Ganada. They last Uat least! 7.< times longer than current paper notes and take Umuch longer to become tatty!. They are also cleaner because they are resistant to dirt and moisture, and are almost impossible to tear. %f the switch goes ahead, it would sa"e the Bank more than T6BBmillion o"er a ten*year period, largely because the new bank*note will last for so much longer. 9 typical T< note currently lasts for (ust two years. The new ones would last for (ust under si& years, according to the research published in the autumn. They can also be recycled in different ways, from producing household energy to being used to create garden furniture and plant pots. The new notes would still feature the Vueen as well as a famous person, such as the naturalist Gharles Darwin. 'owe"er, they would be slightly smaller than the cotton paper "ersion. The Bank also tested the polymer notes by submerging them in li uids, including red wine, and found they could be Uwiped clean!. Kormal notes stain or disintegrate. so.r"e: www)!a l(ma l)"o).k
