Rose if you like ice cream, chocolate and a good old moan, then we are the perfect people to talk to !!!

I had an ice cream yesterday and it made me heave

I seem to have no problems having countless McDonald vanilla milkshakes so maybe I had a dodgy ice cream from the ice cream van!!!!!!

And since conceiving bubz, iv gone off chocolate

I dont know how this is possible, lol

Rose, it didn't apply to me so I didn't take much notice, but I think you can carry your holiday forward.

Someone else will probably be able to give you more specific details. Something about not losing out on benefits ( leave is counted as a benefit) just because you are pregnant

I hope so, thank you for responding!!!!

Welcome Rose!!

K, decided not to do the chemistry exam, head is too sore for extra study that I will gain very little from. So, have an assesment for biology tomorrow, chemistry on monday, a report to write and hand in tomorrow and a copy of an early report for communications, and thats me all done! (assuming I don't have to resit any of the assessments).

Really struggled today sitting in labs with the heat. Cankles have grown to stubby elephant legs and my head hurts like crazy. Kids are being PITA's too :mad:

Better get this stupid report done :mad:

Um, I don;t want to jump to conclusions, but for the last few days I've had kinda grumbly period-like pains in my lower abdomen, and for the last few hours I've had really bad backache, which I never get.

Am I right that these are labour symptoms? Should I be doing anything/not doing anything? It's too early and I'm not sure if this is normal or something to worry about.

Thanks Tiamai_d

Congratulations on your little girl due in August!

skinty is the pain there all the time or every now and again?
Contraction pain would be in regular time slots IYKWIM, so every 10 mins or so
Could be branston pickles They are fun, I get them most nights !!

But if they are sore, phone your MW or the maternity unit

It's constant back pain, not lower back, a bit higher up. The periody pains have gone now. I don;t have any braxton hicks - bump is soft and wriggling.

Maybe I've just pulled a muscle. Don;t want to phone MW and look stupid. Will leave it longer and see what happens. Waters haven't gone or anything.

Try a bath Skinty and see if that helps, or a nice shower. Then some paracetamol? And call your MW if you are worried.

Thanks rose! She was a bit of a shock, but it's nice to be getting her with my two boys here already
