Hmm... There is a meeting of the maternity services liason comitee at my local hospital on Monday... I could go as an employee... Or a service user... As long as I'm not in labour at the time... Just need to decide if I have the energy to get to the bus and back or not...
On the plus side... They always lay on a nice lunch...A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...My Fathers Daughter wrote: »Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

I swear I remember reading something about a free button you can get from Transport for London saying "baby on board" or whatever so that people will know to give up their seat for you! Maybe they'll send you one even if not in London, hehe...:T
(found it! http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/media/newscentre/archive/3665.aspx - maybe I can request 10 or so and post them to peeps, lol)
Let me know if you get a reply, I could do with a badge as well so I don't have to ask people for a seat Mum to DD born Oct 2009 :j DS born April 2013 :jBreastfeeding peer supporter with the breastfeeding network.

I doubt it very much aless, they generally don't try before 16 weeks and even then some don't... Think I was about 22/24 weeks before they tried for mine...A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls...

ah, okay - some of the books say something like 'your MW may try and listen to your baby's heartbeat from 12 weeks' or whatever, but I know not to believe them! :Ptop 2013 wins: iPad, £50 dental care, £50 sportswear, £50 Nectar GC, £300 B&Q GC; jewellery, Bumbo, 12xPringles, 2xDiesel EDT, £25 Morrisons, £50 Loch Fyne

Mine didn't bother trying for the heartbeat till way after 12 weeks

You have to pay to be tested privately as NHS blood test is about as useful as a choccy teapot :rolleyes: I wanted to cover all areas as I'm having homebirth so if bubba was to suddenly get ill I couldn't just press buzzer for help IYSWIM its relatively rare but very dangerous0 -
Tine - is your bubba at least "fixed" in the relation to brim column (if u have one) on ur notes?
My lil boy is now 'fixed' :eek: he's being very prepared for an ontime arrival!
hmm best go Chris is now nudey
