Shell, fingers crossed for your Nan, I hope there's something they can do for her

I had a pretty rotten nights sleep.. No change there... Aimee had a trauma this morning because she couldn't find her cap after she'd played with it in the garden... Went out the front door crying but I had a final scout around and found it underneath something so the situation was salvaged... Hubby ran out this morning and fetched some crunchy nut cornflakes and milk especially.... But it tastes like washing powder... making my mouth go funny! Might see if there's a kellogs careline to ring and complain to...

Oh and shopping is coming some time between 12 and 2 so really need to do something with the kitchen... I am so sick of gutting it though, every time I turn around it looks worse than when I started... Why can nobody else in this house wipe a work surface down?!

Krystal, sounds like my house, stood OH next to worktop on Saturday and tried calmly to explain that putting cold water on a sponge and moving across the worktop is not gonna actually clean it, just multiply the germs, still did the same yesterday!

Shell, hope all goes well for your Nan. X

Hi ladies,

Sorry, I've not posted for a while. There seems to be so much going on I haven't had a chance to look in.

Anyway, my update is my line manager seems to be watching what she says to me so I haven't had cause for complaint although I'm fed up of explaining pregnancy relating expressions to her, as she hasn't had a baby and doesn't know what I'm talking about!

I had a bit of a scare on Sunday morning, I'm 18 weeks gone and I had a bit of a show. There didn't seem to be anything else for the rest of the day or this morning so far but I rang the midwife and she's seeing me later to check the heartbeat. It's the first kind of 'bleed' I've had, has anyone else had similar as looking on the net it sems to be a first trimester thing?

Good luck, Shellsuit.
Make sure you make time for yourself, SugarSpun.

Bear, I hope all is ok but I'm sure I remember someone on here saying that had several shows all the way through pregnancy, can't remember who it was though.

Tara, at least your OH tries... I get up every morning to a chopping board covered in crumbs from where he's made the sandwiches... And the butter knife sitting there, usually with butter still on it... This morning, Aimee was stood there blowing the crumbs across the work surface so now I'll have to fetch everything off to rescue all the crumbs... There's just no effort!

Bear, hope all goes well with the midwife. I think it was AM that was told the mucus plug can come away and regenerate itself during pregnancy, but that's not medical advice you understand

I just emailed kiddisave, after taking my buggy back and being promised a refund, heard nothing and nothing was showing on google... 12 mins after emailing I got a refund... Funny that!

Ah Krystal, 2 years of counselling to get him to realise that helping around the house was ok! Before that he had never even used the washing machine.

Really, really sorry Bumblebee, take care. XXX

Thanks, guys. I'll ask my midwife when I see her why it happens etc.

I found my OH to be morer supportive and more likely to pick up the bathroom cleaner when I showed him the book the midwife gave me about how partner's should be helping rather than hindering your pregnancy. There was a list of things they could do ranging from offering to make tea and making sure you had suitable soft drinks in when friends called around and everyone else had alcohol to taking on more of the chores and cooking dinner.

Have you tried downing tools until they have no clean cups they have to wash one?

So sorry, Bumblebee, don't give up hope.
