"I think the one way of making sure they don't get spoilt rotten is make sure there are others to receive it too!" she added with a knowing nod. "We had twins to start with, so they always had to share all the attention, and then three more, so I can speak of for lots and being able to love them all." She paused for a moment, then spoke again. "But of course these days, with the term of pregnancy being so short, I have no idea what that would be like, what it would do to a woman's body."
It had been something that caused her some concern, knowing what it had been like to carry a baby, or two, to full term and it taking nine months.
