Wish I was having another scan

You don't really, you only get one if there is something wrong....

What about those babybond ones?

do you think it would be ok to make an appt with GP midwife to get the HIPG form as it looks like i will be having my checks at the hospital?
dont want to waste their time...

i know i've got to have weekly BP/urine tests so maybe i could make one with the mw instead of the nurse to get the form

I'm at day care on Wed so going to ask them while I am up there as I forgot to ask my MW on Thursday.

Yep def - the community MW can do this for you!!

Tia - i know I don't really want one cos that would mean something was up. I'm not paying for anything extra!

Harley - isn't this site amazing for finding out what you can get?!!!

It's brilliant. Child benefit confirmed. Still not convinced that Tax credits is right. I'm sure they said that was only cos nursery costs so high. Will ring again later in week and try to speak to someone else. If they say the same thing then I know I'm ok.

Not convinced about that entitledto site as when I checked that it said that I was entitled to only pay 20% of my Council Tax but when I rang to check with the council they laughed at me. Cheeky gits.

I got my HIPG form at MWs on Thurs, going to send it off tomorrow. Still can't find out if can get Surestart grant, but fairly sure I earn far to much to be entitled to that as well

I then had to lie on my back with my right leg out straight and my left leg bent at the knee, and she pulled the leg down while pushing the rest of me upwards using my left knee !!
Was really uncomfortable but she said that it made a big difference and we wil need to do it again after the baby is born. I will be sore for a couple of days and am not to do any lifting or too much bending untill I am not as sore but should be fine in a few days again

I have to have this done regularly as one side is higher than the other, normally I just manage to get over the soreness of having it done and it's nearly time to be having it done again booooo. Hope it helps you though, it does seem to work.

hope so honey, you get it done often? I have never heard of anyone having this, and the physio said it might take a few sessions to sort it out

Afternoon, back from school and Erin in her usual stropp! She isn't liking me being pregnant at all.

I'm in sooooo much trouble - went to the new shopping centre and found out they have a Gap outlet with discounted BabyGap clothing!!!!!! I'm going to have to have DH put my wallet under lock and key!!!! LOL

Is Erin the eldest tara?
How did she react with the other kids? Maybe she is just at that stage where she thinks you will be too busy for her.
I have an appointment booked for the last week of July for me and Jasmine to have a manicure done together, and have put it in big writing on the calender so that she knows her and mummy are doing something special together

Everyone gets child benefit regardless of income.
I think if you are a lone person/parent living in a house you get 20% off your council tax!
