I did see that, it reminded me of what my nan did with my cousins :rolleyes: its 18yo and 17yo's birthdays in December too, so she sent up in 18yo's birthday card a cheque for £20, and in my aunties xmas card a cheque for £5 each for auntie and uncle, £10 for 17yo and £5 for 8yo, so nothing for 18yo for xmas? Then said she could only afford £5 for 17yo's birthday and only sent the £20 for 18yo cos it was her 18th, and sent up £10 in 17yo's card instead?! My auntie was fuming to think she would treat her kids differently!

OHs granny gave us a cheque for £2k last xmas and gave OH a cheque for £10 for his birthday this yr. All a bit strange She forgot DD's birthday altogether this year but bought her loads for xmas

Ok Maz just let me know.

Personally I would add to the milk within 24hrs. If i'd expressed in the morning and then again in the evening put it in the same bottle/storage bag etc. But then I'd use it within 3 days or freeze it and use within 3 months.

Thanks girls. Not overly worried about weight gain just surprised thats all

Can i be a pain (again) and ask anyone who had to have bp controlled during late pregnancy can you remind me how the last few weeks went and how the birth was - i am on the pregnancy thread - thank you very much. I am borderline pre-eclampsia and on labatelol and mw monitoring after coming home from hosp over christmas. Thank you very much

Cant believe i might be joining you guys in about a week's time:j

hi jha. will copy this to preg thread so you dont miss my answer.

i was given a 'go straight to hospital' BP reading of 140/90 (cos i have existing high bp). i was on methyldopa at the max of 500mg 3 times a day.
.

in the last 6 weeks i saw (initially) mw every week to have bp/wee test. if i went to the 140/90 i was sent upto the antenatal ward. after been overnight a few times. The consultant decided i had to have my BP checked every 3 days. So i was at the hospital every monday, mw on a wed and then drop-in centre every friday. i had another scan at 32 weeks as well to make sure baby was growing ok. I ended up staying in hospital for the majority of my last 6 weeks. Eventually it got to the stage where i would have a BP check and be sent to ward, stay a few nights come home fir a few days and go back up again. had another scan at 37+6 to check on baby. I was told I might have to be induced if BP was not being controlled. and this is waht happened. Has appt at consutlant when i was 38+6. BP was high so was admitted from then and induced following morn. when i got to 4cm dilated i was brought to delivery suite in the high risk room and was constantly on BP machine so i could not move around at all. had gas/air (pile of crap
) then pethidine (or similar) then c/sect (that was kian not me)

so basically it was lots of meds. plenty of checkups and do as little as poss at home. my ankles,feet and hands were very swollen but once i had Kian it all went. BP went back to my normal and i;m now on diff meds.
