hmm how much u 2 betting elle has fallen asleep on the sofa again?

Edit
damn you I was wrong

It's really sad actually.. will tell ya what I was doing.. Was stood in the hallway, OH on his knees with a screwdriver, prising the carpet up. We had carpet measurers round earlier to quote for all the flooring we need (£1020!) and they told Mum that the hallway carpet is actually in two pieces. We didn't believe them cos you can't see the join at all, but once mum told us where it was we had to investigate! :rolleyes: Random, but very good news cos it makes the replacement half the price as if it was one big piece..

What can I say? It's the little things!

Night night everyone xx

I have been napping on the sofa (every night this week) so I'm not actually tired but ought to go to bed anyway.. Finally got a date for moving out, btw. We're staying at my parents' house from Monday next week - for about three weeks! We'll have no toilet from Monday lunchtime so it's a no brainer really!

Hi ladies.
Have just caught up after a night off last night.

Thank you to everyone who replied re Tesco/Asda maternity pads -v- Boots ones.

Did I miss AM's birth story? I don't think I did but didn't she say say she'd post it today (or yesterday - I'm confuggled as I have been reading yesterday's and today's posts today).

Also, stupid question alert, can somebody define induction for me? I know it's when they try to start the labour, but does a sweep count as induction or does induction come after that if the sweep doesn't work? What about breaking your waters? Is that induction? Sorry, I said it was a stupid question

Hiya, I'm still halfway through writing it, should have it up soon!
Been really busy the last couple of days.
Off to Ikea later to get the boys some new chests of draweres cos Ryan has soooooooooooo many clothes!

Morning all.
Been up since 6.15am with my beautiful 2nd son.
OH banished me to bed last night at 9pm and slept most of the night down here, had a bit of a cry because I discovered DS1 and SDD have basically flooded the corner of the boys room!
He came to bed at about 3am, Ryan was pretty unsettled most of the evening bless him.
So I got up with him when he woke up this morning and have left OH in bed sleeping.


We are off to ikea today to get some much needed storage, just got to wait for the MW to come round first.

Er getting a bit worried about feelie tbh, if she gets in contact can you text me Sami, just so i'll know she's ok xx

I actually went to get bigger bras as I have had extremely painful nipples. Not sure if I have asked about this before, but has anyone else suffered? It's not my breasts, just my nipples when I get cold. They become massive, and have me crying in agony and turn a funny colour. I thought they were getting bruised because my bra was too small, but now I am wearing a JJ and it's still happening. Anyone else had this? I mentioned it to my midwife twice, but I don't think anyone realises how much pain I am in. It doesn't seem like what I imagine to be normal when people say they have sore boobs.

Fitzio I had this, I havnt got a clue what it is and I felt the same as you - Dont think anyone realised how painful it was My OH only realised when we were out walking the dogs and I was crying my eyes out because they felt as if they were going to fall off!:eek: Im pleased to say it had calmed down alot now but then I was due yesterday. I did post about it at the time but nobody else seemed to have had it. Midwife couldnt help either. Oh the joys of pregnancy x

Morning all -

Just wondering if anyone knew whether you can access mat services in other PCTs? I'm looking into using a MW-led birth centre, but there isn't one in my PCT (there is in a neighbouring PCT, same county, about 30 mins drive though rather than 15)

Do ppl think I can use the facility or even if it's a good idea?! I like the idea of the MW-led environment and the access to the pools...

Thanks!

Sami_Bee

AM - Will do
Fitzio - have you tried putting either a hot flannel or a cold wet flannel on ur boobs when they hurt (at home obv not much use in the office ) I'm sure one will make them feel at least a little bit better xxx
Mointain - YES you can I was offered the choice of 2 hospitals but could actually have requested anyone of 4 within about an hours drive radius
EDIT - you need to tell ur MW ASAP tho coz ur scans etc will prob be held in the other pct

Right no more posts from me coz I gotta get ready for the zoo! :j

MrsTinks

Mountain - you can but ask The distance could be a worry but then the nearest hospital to me here is about 30 minutes anyway - I think the midwife led centre here is actualy the top floor of the hospital LOL so I am going to try to get in there They won't do epidurals etc but if you end up needing more painkillers etc they can transfer you 3 floors down to the maternity ward LOL
