Morning. I am the hospital at 1 so I am only in work until 11:45

Mel - it's easy. Open itunes and poop in your cd - it will ask you if you want to copy the cd into itunes (or something to that effect) lets it do its business and then sync as usual to upload to your phone. Hope that makes sense!

oops, mel explained it all before me (and much more concise) :T :T

Well I have been up all night with DS2 who has a tummy bug. He is now lying on the sofa with his duvet and his tub and his juice after his Dad decided it would be a great idea after he had weetabix to carry on with him and let him run upstairs... and what happens? Stairs covered in weetabix happens. I've managed not to be sick though so thats a huge accomplishment. And what does Darling Husband (sarcasm) decided to do? Leave the pregnant lady to clean up the mess and run out the door with DS1 saying 'I'm going to put that cheque in the bank so will be a while!'. :mad: And then there is the mess from the other end too....

Luckily I think I had that bug yesterday and the day before so I shouldn't get it again. Besides, DH is off till Monday so he can just play nurse... when he gets back...

Newmoneysaver... typo???? 'Open itunes and poop in your cd' :rotfl:

hmmm.... hope krystal pops onto today whilst i am around, wanted to ask her about 'boobs working' question

I'm intrigued! (And the link you posted, although it looks helpfull... Is just a bunch on Johnsons propaganda )

Tia, I got a tummy bug in the early days swiftly followed by Aimee... Hubby was there to clean up after the first time (and also me after I tried cleaning up after her and failed miserably, making my own mess at the same time) But shortly after he'd gone to work she threw up all over the landing... I cried for about 20mins at the thought of cleaning it up (and came on here and complained to all the girlies lol)... Then just had to steel myself and do it... Did manage to not throw up myself that time though! My thoughts are with you!!!

I was told yesterday my iron has dropped to 10.9 and my community midwife might put me on iron tablets, think it's likely? It was 12.4 before so they were saying it's a hefty drop... I think it has something to do with a decline in my diet and 4 litres of milk every 3 days...

Krystal - i did ignore all the references to johnsons products as the midwife told us (like so many others) to avoid johnson products.

What i wanted to ask was about what do your boobs produce whilst pregnant to get us ready to breastfeed? Gee, i dont even think that made sense. You know the other day i think sami said 'her boobs were working' etc and you said if you knew some of the techniques to hand express you could see if you 'boobs were working'.

I did this last night and there was clear liquid. Is that okay?? What is it???

Just to let you know that I have no bleeding this morning so the crossed fingers are helping and I'm seeing the GP at 10.30.

Yes thats perfectly fine and its colostrum, baby's first milk. Its actually quite thick and creamy yellow if you were to collect it but looks clear on the nipple. Its packed with all all the things baby needs to set its tummy up for feeding aswel as nutrition and antibodies... It's the original super food!

I got clear stuff! I got clear stuff! Whoop whoop! *does a little jig*

Ok ok so deep down I was worried the boobs despite their size and the fact there have never been a history of anyone struggling with BF in my family MIGHT not work lol

But we have clear stuff! Krystal... is it normal to have more/find it easier to express with one boob than the other? Or at least this early on
