:wave: Hello, hope everyone is well, does anyone get hungry at silly o clock? I woke up about half 3am knowing that I was too hungry to get back to sleep so had some weetabix, what do you eat if that happens?

I have some Rice Krispy cakes by the bed, just for emergencies you understand

That said, I don't tend to get hungry in the night that much, seeing as we have dinner at about 10:30pm each night.

I do get really thirsty in the night, which never used to happen.

Tee hee, about twice a week this whole pregnancy I've been waking at stupid o clock and eating boiled eggs!:rotfl:

Erm.... Sami_Bee you are fab at links, I understand there are some good freebies for new mums with boots, including a change bag... Can you pretty please point me to anything on here which tells me what freebies are worth getting hold of?:beer:

TBH, after looking in the pack I got when we were first expecting (one nappy and a whole load of adverts!) I've steered clear of the whole freebie idea, but thinking I should have a rethink!!!:o

Midwife coming tomorrow to talk to us about our homebirth thoughts, which can happen anytime after thursday, as I'll be 37 weeks then.:eek:

Hope you're all well,

Love Weezl x

Hi all.. *hugs* for everyone - there seem a lot in need today!

I was supposed to go to the inlaws tonight but I didn't have a great day at work so I just wanted to slob out on the sofa tonight and not have to make pleasant conversation. Will chat to FIL on MSN later like I do nearly every night anyway.

I want comfort food.. Off to find potato waffles to cover in salt and vinegar..

Right I've just skimed so gonna go back and read in case I've forgotten something but here Goes
Those ladies in scotland I've just seen an advert for the Scottish Baby Show http://www.thebabyshowscotland.com

AM - I copied some links and when you clicked on one there was an ad at the top for other parts of the site and one was "orgasmic birth" watch this vid http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=6569030 - Theres an advet before the film thing it was originally aired on an american news channel I think

Wezl - freebies lists here: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/freebies-gold#baby
for the changing bag you need to have a boots advantage card then sign up to their parenting club and they send you a voucher to get the bag free when u buy 1 pack of pampers newborn nappies :cool:

Right off to update the list with r.mac's details xx

Hey elle, I always end up chatting to Step-MIL on facebook most nights while hubby plays with himself... *sigh*

Well it seems it didn't feel too cheeky to ask my friend if her hubby can look at my washing machine... She was going to get him to come round tonight so I panic cleaned the floor and surrounding cupboards (and the sink, it was rank!) but he text to say he was running late so would try for tomorrow... The dishwasher man's coming in the morning so needed to do the cleaning anyway really... Would be funny if the washing machine man turned out to be my friends hubby... Not sure which company he works for...

morning all ladies,

a quick question for those of you who have done this all before....

what are you feelings in relation to having the injection after birth to assist with the delivery of the placenta???

I've had it both times as I wanted it over with so I could enjoy my babies and get to my room quicker! I also remember with Poppy I kept thinking OMG after all this I have got to deliver the placenta now! :eek: But it was fine and just kinda slithered out! (sorry if TMI!).

The MW both times explained that it was completely my choice.

The consultant cut Poppy's cord, DH wasn't asked, as it was an emergency forceps delivery. He did cut Jamie's cord though (and see his head crowning!) as it was a more relaxed, albeit quicker, affair .

I'm trying to catch up bvut while I do I would appreciate some advice

I posted yesterday to say how awful my employer was - I've just had it with them. I've offered someone a job but been told my bosses she is too overweight and doesn't portray the image they want to get across (for those of you thet don't know I work in a GP surgery). I have been promised promtion after promotion and I've worked so hard the last year it's been unbelievable, I even handed my notice in but was made loadsa promises so I stayed - they have just promoted someone over me who has been there half the time!

I want to change jobs so bad and as I am good at my job know I could get one no problems.

Here's where the advice comes in

If I stay, I will probably only get SMP at 90% of wages for 6 weeks then £117.80 per week after that for 33 weeks.

If I change, I will probably only get MA which is £117.80 per week for 39 weeks.

I am assuming the only difference is the first 6 weeks - I am manically saving now so that I can afford to live off the £117.80 but wondered what you guys would do and what experiences you had getting jobs whilst you were pregnant - I'm almost 8 weeks.

Thanks
