My list of Wii Games

Mario & Sonic - ace but very strenuous!!
Boogie and HSM singing games
Rock Band
Guitar Hero
Wii Fit

Problem is I never play them except singing and Rock Band when I'm drunk and since bean showed up I've not had a drink!!

I must do my Wii Fit - I drove all the way to Bromborugh (sp?) on Wirral to get it in July last year and have used it about 4 times!

I take it you're happy to have those? I'm considering refusing both (vit K on the basis that if all newborns have low vit K levels then they are probably supposed to) and the placenta one on the basis that I want to do it all naturally and I trust my body to be able to get the placenta out in its own time.

Am I on my own with this? Anyone else want to deliver the placenta without the injection?

I actually had haemorrhagic (sp) disease of the newborn myself from low vit k levels - what the injection stops. Meant I spent 2.5 weeks in SCBU and had a vicar come in for goodbyes. Therefore I take the view my kids all have the injection!

I've had a nice afternoon. I went to this new women's only gym which was recommended to me at the Open Day of our local Childrens Centre. Had an induction from a lovely lady, all tailored to fit round the pregnancy, and on chatting to her afterwards, it turns out that she literally lives a few doors down from me, and that she is a qualified masseuse. She gave me her phone number and said that any time I felt like having a pregnancy massage, to give her a call, and she's be happy to do it in my home as I live so close. I had a lot of pelvic pain with no 1, and am prone to back pain generally, so although my back has been fine so far, I suspect I may well be taking her up on this. No idea how much she will charge but the convenience of having it at home would be great.

For alleso who was asking, the advice I was being given today (at nearly 17 weeks) was not to do any exercises or stretches which involved putting hands above my head height or lying on my back as these can affect your blood pressure. I also need to be particularly careful of any exercises or equipment which might put a strain on my pelvic area or my abs. So no lunges, abductor or adductor machines, etc. For core stability, she gave me some work on the swiss ball with very light weights, but this is more to strengthen the back than to tone the abs in any way. Her advice was that the best strategy in pregnancy was to use weights at a lower weight than you are used to but with increased reps, and only very light cardio, and to be careful not to overheat or to let your heart rate go too high.
