Hi Jenny

Just wanted to say hi and how glad I am that everything is working out for you this time. I am now just over 14 weeks and, like you, found that after my scan a few weeks back I have been feeling a lot more relaxed about the whole pregnancy thing:D

I also have no hope of keeping up with this thread but it's nice to dip in and out now and then;)

Hello all, haven't been on here for ages, I tried reading every post at one stage but just couldn't keep up and then didn't want to read anymore in case I lost the baby but I'm worrying less now, just had my 13week scan, all looking good and low risk for downs

Just wanted some advice on anti stretch mark creams. My sister recommended bio oil but it's really expensive. Can anyone recommend anything else or anywhere cheaper to get bio oil?

Hi AG

I too suffer from eczema and its been much worse since I became pregnant (am now 14 weeks). I'm not sure why and I did mention it to the midwife but she wasn't terribly interested. Am also trying not to use too many steriod creams as although the doctor says they're safe I'd rather not take the risk. I have been trying to use calamine lotion instead but only if I'm not leaving the house:D

My skin has been much drier since I've been pg- all itchy and horrid. It's normally a bit like that, but defo worse recently. Obviously not the same as eczema, but skin related....

If there's ever more than 15 pages I don't bother catching up! Takes too long, I try and log in as soon as I get to work and see what the night owls have been chatting about - usually doesn't take too long as they talk about naughties anyway!!

I haven't noticed any dry skin really but I have a well moisturised belly!!

What shall I do for tea?

Cajun Chicken and Rice (toms, kidney beans spices etc)
Roast the breasts and have mash and veg
Any other ideas with what to do with Chicken breasts?

We've already had Mexican Chicken and Chicken/Egg Fried Rice this week and Sausage and Mash so I fancy something different.

Hi all..

Big congrats to feelie! Knew you'd be ace! How bad is it that I'm getting teary cos I'm so proud of/for you?!

tia, I think mine's flipped the other way - finally getting movements above my belly button and what felt like hiccups a lot deeper down that before.

All will be revealled soon.. 22 hours until my 4D scan! Yay!

Hope everyone is well. Labour vibes for sparkle! xx

(Btw, whoever updates the list next, "skellett" had her baby weeks ago - she posted about formula feeding last weekend I think).

Wow you really like chicken yes? haha.

How about smothered chicken? You cut the chicken breast down the side, to form a pocket and put cream cheese inside.(i find actual chedder cheese is better not so watery when heated) You then wrap it in bacon and cook for 30mins. Me and OH have it with either rice or potato wedges and vegetables

Or my mum add's BBQ sauce underneath the bacon. Thats nice x

Sounds delish - yum with Cajun Wedges!!

Problem is only bacon I have is frozen - how can I defrost it quickly and safely and please don't say Microwave as I can't stand the smell!!
