Feelie - the story is really old but has suddenly popped up again - I'm not sure why, unless she's done it for a 2nd time
She talked about it when she was on "This Morning" which was around october time last year I think

Hehe, oops! Someone posted it on a pregnacy forum, I didn't check the date! Seems like a nice thing, anyway. I'd like to donate milk (assuming I can breastfeed!) but there isn't any milk banks near me.

Unrelated, I phoned Midwife today, she has given me the number for the ward manager, who is on holiday this week. If I call her next week, she'll be able to find someone with experience of PTSD who can help me write a birth plan and prepare for labour. I figure if I know what to expect, and what I need to tell them, it'll be less stressful all round.

on the subject of Caz I'm considering turning into some kind of stalker to find out her phone number or something
I am really worried about where she has gone

Don't worry I didn't actually look at ur story, but when I switched on today there was a story about it on yahoo news which I read.

Good news on the birth plan front :T

hi feely,

i think that is a really good idea.

i like to know where i am going and what things are going to look like so i dont panic. i have always been like this. before i did my work experience when i was younger, i went into town with my parents and we walked to the where i would be working so i would be 'slightly' less nervous on the monday.

i had just done a tour of my hospital on saturday so when i got sent straight up there yesterday, the only relief i had (amongst my worry of what was going on) is that i could picture where i needed to go.

not sure if that makes any sense or helps, but i thought i'd share

Feelie - can you ask for extra ward visits and delivery suite tours etc too?
I have been to ours twice now and I feel much calmer about going in because I have seen it a couple of times IYSWIM.



For anyone who was thinking of ordering (or has already ordered) the Easyfix base for the Maxi-Cosi from Amazon - just be careful with the delivery dates. I ordered mine on 6th Feb and the delivery is saying between 6th March and 28 March :mad: NO GOOD WHEN I AM DUE ON 2ND MARCH!!!

So we will need to go and buy a base anyway :mad: Pee'd off about it but I really don't want to leave it to chance that it might arrive before Bubba does (I will end up panicking if I do!). Will donate it to my pregnant neice if I end up with 2.


A word of warning that quite often nursery furniture and prams etc can have a lead in time of 6 weeks too...

what is this facebook group that you talk about? Can I join it too, please?

i'm quite worried too, but i like MFD's suggestion.

do you know if there are any other members of the forum who know caz that might know if she is okay???

MrsTinks

MFD yeah I did notice that too but as Roo is due in May I didn't worry too much about it

Just been doing a bit of "stalking" myself - but came up with nothing.

Sami_Bee

Well MFD I wouldn't kno about the base because MIL hasn't ordered it :mad: because "it feels too early yet" :rolleyes: Glad it's her that will be paying upto £30 more for it and not me! she is such a bint some times! She recently bought a chair bed for Chris to sleep on that cost just under £300 :eek: then she asked about a stair gate and I showed her the one My mum got for £15 in asda (and told her that that is a good price and poss still in store) and the next day I got a "I'm pleased with myself" txt saying she'd just got it off ebay for £21.50 It's like she enjoys throwing money away!
I'm not even sure Chris will sleep on the chari bed coz we can't put a guard on it so I don't want him falling out of it!

and relax aaahhhh
