I'm sure I keep killing this thread. Oh well, off to yoga now. Query for you all, have any of you thought about god parents? Do people still have god parents and what is the usual way of going about it? I have no idea!

Chris has 'just' 2 rather than the usual 3 mostly because there isn't anyone else we are close to so they are my sister and OH's brother and will be the same for this one


Tigster - where about in manchester are you round this side?

speaking of manchester no sign of Damzel for a while

Did you at least see a MW after the scan?

Briefly, for about 10 mins, and all she did was explain the options for screening. She said my community midwife would tell me the rest at the booking appt. Seems normal to have that kind of delay round here.

I wasn't aware of the differences the first time around because I hadn't discovered the joys of MSE yet :eek: but I have since learnt that the ante natal care here is fab!

Lucky, lucky, lucky :rotfl: Round here it seems to be "a sweary word". Wouldn't mind, but you'd think they might want to keep an eye on me, given my (ahem) age :rolleyes:

I'm over in the east, and come under the Central Hospitals PCT. On the plus side, there's going to be a brand new maternity unit, in the new St Mary's building, opening this summer.

As for the woman with twins, that is clearly child abuse! being fed on takeaways and rubbish every single day is putting their lives in danger! yes my kids eat take away but maybe once a fortnight never in a million years every day! and veggies once a week is awful. cant believe people can get away with this sort of thing. thyroid problem my ar*e more like take away problem!

Uusally only if baby is going to be christened or have a naming ceremony I think. A lot of people don't bother.

We had our two baptised at the same time - as they are only 13 months apart they were both still babies at the time. We had 2 men and a woman for the boy and 2 women and a man for the girl. We chose people we were close to who had a similar life ethos and moral code to ourselves, but we didn't specifically require them to be church goers or believers. 1 of our first choices turned us down though because he wasn't a believer and didn't want the "god" part of "godparent" though was happy to be a close family friend to the baby. Everyone else was very pleased to be asked when reassured that they were not required to alter any of their beliefs to do the job, just continue to be the kind of good role models we thought they would be for our children!

What can I wear with a brown knee length brown cord maternity skirt? Nude tights? I have knee high brown boots that match but they have a heel....

I'm stuck. (but it was from ebay and is super comfy)

candice56

Sounds good to me Tia, the heel will prob be fine if youre not on your feet a lot

My travel cot has arrived! Yay! I put it up in the lounge to air it as it's off eBay and my cat has already tried it out but decided it's not for her, thankfully.

Evening ladies and bumps

((hugs)) to greent, sorry to hear whats happening hun, don't know what else to say, but we always like to listen to a good old rant if you need to !!

Well I have a feeling bubs has moved from being feet down breach to lying sideways :rolleyes:
Will know better tomorrow at MW appt, but I think there is a little hand trying to engage :eek: Almost feels like it is trying to crawl out :rotfl:
Really really don't think I am going to go full term though, but only 2 weeks and 3 days left at work till mat leave and then it can come when it wants to... except it has nowhere to sleep yet !!!!:rolleyes:

They're triplets darling I appreciate that having 3 must be hard work but I wholeheartedly agree with you - she doesn't have a thyroid problem - she has a takeaway problem!
What you have to wonder is how is she paying for that much rubbish food??? Seriously? Takeaway is a treat round here (well used to be when I wasn't pregnant :rotfl: slightly more junk food since falling pregnant... oooops!) because it's not cheap!
