I think your right to go get it done tomorrow Nickabella, I know I would.

When I bled at 6 weeks it was very scary. I had to wait 2 weeks for a scan thought the bleeding stopped at around 5 days I think. I kept my feet off the ground and really took it easy, which was hard with a 1 year old as well.

I really have my fingers crossed for you and hope its good news xx

Tara that story is so sad Im sat here in tears. I have a 14 yo daughter and can only imagine your fear and horror back then. Hopefully the op is succesful and she goes on to concieve.

All this talk of chlamydia has made me so paranoid. I have never had the sex chat with DD, I know I should but I would just get so embarrassed

Why embarassed? I am extremely open with them all, more so now. We were open back then but he had a terrible hold over her. She said she knew she should use a condom but he would not! How did you talk to her about periods, my DD has an usborne book about growing up, she's 9. DS who's 5 asked how the baby would get out and I told him the truth. Once you get started about stuff the rest just comes although I sometimes find some things my older girls ask a bit tricky.

Hope it works out for you Glam she sounds like a right interfering spoilsport!! Can your Dad not insist?

Dad only sees her 2 nights a week and she never stays over cos she's a bit scared - he lives in a big old house by himself. Lots of spiders etc.

Excuses were - its too far, I don't want her in the lorry, she's got guitar lesson, she'll get home too late!

It's !!!!!!!g Easter hols, guitar is EVERY week missing one won't hurt, she goes in the lorry with the bf so why not Dad?

In the next breath she said she was happy for Dad to have her anytime and take her on hols just not tonight!

She now wants to bring her up in May for a weekend - what she fails to understand is we both work over 50 hours each week and we are always busy over the weekends with OH's work!
Oh well, it's her in the bad books with my sis not me

Sounds like big hugs are needed all round :grouphug:

Nikabella - I would also pay just for the piece of mind! I think your doing the right thing going tomorrow.

Tara - thanks for sharing your story. It goes to show bad things can happen to anything. I'm glad you have managed to turn things round for your DD, I'm just sorry she is going through all this now. Fingers crossed things will turn out well after the operation.

Claire - please try to stay calm - I know easier said than done, but it will be so much better to sort now before little one makes an appearance. I hope you get your sofa soon! Oh, and how nice of your family to do that for you :A

Sami - I hope you and OH can't sort things, even if it just give you an understanding of why and something to work from - best of luck for tonight

ETA: I nearly forgot: Glam - hope you get to see lil sister. Sounds like step-mum is just trying to cause trouble. It's not fair to use a little one like that!

[QUOTE=Mrs Moc;20433099
Phoned the MW about the mucus thing I had yesterday and she said not to worry unless I had pains or bleeding. She said some people can lose their mucus plug over and over but it will just grow back if the babys not ready. :eek:[/QUOTE]



I lose lots of mucus every day - probably enough over a day for a plug's worth - have done since quite early on. Mine resembles 'snot' (for want of a better word - sorry!!). Didn't have it with other pgs though....



(((hugs)))) to leopardlady x

With regard to Bio-Oil, I have been using the one mentioned from Savers called Rescue Oil, which was £1.99 a bottle, gone through 4 bottles so far so have saved quite a bit instead of paying £8 a bottle. I have tried samples of Bio-Oil though that came free with magazines and bounty packs and I really prefer the Rescue Oil.

i hadnt heard of this rescue oil stuff, i'm going to try it and see if it helps them fade! i used palmers cocoa butter and it didnt work, i'm covered in the pesky things now. mind you when i was growing up i got covered in them so maybe i'm just prone to getting them and nothing would have helped.

leopardlady, i'm so sorry ((hug))
nikabella, good luck at your scan tomorrow, i really hope everything will be ok for you, i had some bleeding which sounds like it was quite similar to yours and 7 months later little seth came along so dont lose hope xx

Just feel better knowing that the food is not good for you anyhow and the babies are being jabbed for their own safety!

I've gotta drive to Exmouth in a bit. To collect DD3 from DD1 and DS2 from MIL.

I guess when it comes to (thinking about) discussing sex with DD I just get embarrassed. I feel really shy about things like that. We neve spoke about things like that in our house when I was growing up.

Neither did we, thought I was gonna die when I woke up at 13 bleeding. That's what made me determined to not be like it.

Having a quick flick through whilst I'm tied to my desk at work.
Sami - about 3 years ago, my hubby started to fly off the handle for no apparent reason. On one occasion he smashed up the tv in the bedroom by throwing it on the floor and another time he also slammed the door of the spare room when my arm was half way in. He's a big sulker (always tells me to leave him alone or ignores me when we fall out) so this change in behaviour completely shocked me. I have to say I was really frightened and thought about leaving. The thing is, I know my husband and my instincts told me that wasnt like him. I persuaded him to see his GP, although I have to say he didnt need much persuasion as I think his behaviour frightened him too. He was eventually diagnosed with an over active thyroid which he had removed about 2 years ago. Suddenly, he was a different person, the man I married and so so placid. I know hormones and stuff can affect moods but I didnt know it could be that drastic. I'm so glad I trusted my instincts and he saw his GP.

They made a mistake with his thyroxin about 4 months ago and prescribed too much. Suddenly he started getting really angry again for no reason. He would rant and rave and slam doors and he couldnt help it. Thankfully we both knew the warning signs and he lowered his thyroxin. He is seeing the consultant today.

Anyways, I know this is a long post but really what I want to say is you know your hubby better than anyone. Trust your instincts. Men are for the most part big babies who cant vocalise what is wrong with them so it manifests in other ways. My hubby will get cross about me not doing the washing up when he's actually cross because I went to see my mum for the weekend (even though he said it was okay for me to go)! Hope you manage to get it all sorted today xxx
