Got-it - I can see their point to a degree - after all the 12 week one (unless having nuchal - which here you have to pay privately for anyway so doesn't matter...) is only a dating scan as far as they are concerned... I had a scan around 6 weeks as they were concerned it might be twins due to the severity of my vomiting, but no-one had any concerns about me having another at 12 weeks... and the difference in detail is massive so I don't see why they shouldn't let people have the 12 week one even if they have had a private scan. After all they shouldn't be relying on private scans for dating or checking for anormalities surely? Well i wouldn't have thought so anyway...

so bah humbug to them I say

Got loads of work to do today so will only pop on in breaks - just off to make a cuppa before getting back to it. Having a problem cos I don;t have Adode Professional so to copyedit the PDFs I've been sent I'm having to copy and paste it all into word then space it out correctly so they can see what I've done. It's yaking ages but at least only two of the 62 documents I'm doing are PDFs or I might have to ask for more time!

Don;t suppose anyone knows a free application you can use to edit PDFs (add comments)? does OpenOffice have one does anyone know?

Skinty, you can download a free trial of adobe pro from the adobe website, not sure if you will have full usage but worth a try, Im pretty sure you get it for about 45 days and can do most things x

Got-it-spend-it, Shame it wasnt as a nice an experience as it could have been, very cute picture though!

MrsTinks

Thanks Weezl, how are you and the little one doing?
Going to have a read now - hopefully will find it useful anytime now.......come on buba!!!

hi sparkle, lots of easy, safe quick labour dust for you

we're ok, thanks for asking, Fergie is a splendid chap (that's what his name means!) settling into a nice routine...

DH is finding it much harder though, and is quite tired and stressed. Sometimes he wants to chat and says he misses how we were before, but other times withdraws and becomes indiffferent.

He wants us to follow a Gina Ford routine... I'm a bit stuck about that because I'd like to come up with my own system that's individually tailored to my son. She's a bit to formulaic for my liking. Also I react to even the title of the book, as if that's all we're aiming for, 'the contented little baby' docile, quiet, obedient.....

All very lovely now, but maybe we're breeding a generation of passive types who find it hard to have intimate relationships because they were so carefully trained to self-soothe that they find it hard to believe that distress can also be resolved in the context of a loving relationship! That's not what I want for Fergie in the long term.

Ooops, bit of an off the topic rant there, sorry, bet you wish you hadn't asked!:o

I was getting these last night too...I timed them and they were coming 20 mins apart for about an hour and a half. Then they died off :rolleyes:

I had been doing quite a bit of walking around yesterday though so I think it was because of that...

Hope yours are the start of something more productive Sparkle...get bouncing on your ball if you have one ;)

Hello ladies and bumps!

Yet another rant :mad:
well I had my Anaesthetic review yesterday and I did not like the specialist. I felt like I was under attack for being overweight, but am starting to get used to this from MW's and sonographers. But this last appointment she jsut kept telling me that I am more likely to die than someone who isnt obese...I know this I dont need to be told 10 times in 15 minutes!! I was also annoyed when she said that due to my size she wouldnt be able to feel my spine... 5 mins later she had to do a physical check and said with great surprise "I can feel your spine!" Grrrrrrrr I want to wear a sign that says..... "I was losing weight before I got pregnant, and I was on the pill so no this wasnt planned now leave me alone!" :mad:

Having discussed with OH am now considering spinal block for Csection, due to reduced healing times etc. It still scares the heebie jeebies out of me so have warned OH that I will be a foul mouthed individual if that happens.... unfortunately it happens when I am scared witless. :rolleyes:

but i really want bubs to turn, and everything to go smoothly.

Tine - Physio referral, for the SPD it took 3 weeks... but for carpal tunnel it took 2 days! may be they find wrists easier to deal with lol :rotfl:

Hiya,

I'm new to this thread but when I read ticklepenny's post I had to join in, hope you don't mind!!

I'm 23 and it's 6 weeks to go until I have my 2nd (got a 16month old daughter & both were planned...I want a 3rd but OH has said no, we'll see about that!!)

Anyway, the reason for my post is that I feel exactly the same way as you do ticklepenny, I know I'm a bit over-weight & it makes me feel embaressed, angry and to be honest like bloody c**p when health professionals keep pointing it out to you! Just because my BMI is slightly higher this time than it was last time, they're forcing me to inject myself with clexane for 6weeks after bambino is born! I had it for 5 days last time & it left bruises all over me!!


Rant over!!
