Just having a catch up !! Brought a pregnancy dvd from the pound shop !! looks quite good though, they also had a dvd of the professionals if any one remembers them i quite fancied lewis collins !!, Bless my oh was saying the other night about needing to saty in hospital if i have a c-section and not being able to do very much. Yesterday he told me he's a bit worried how he's going to cope with having the baby with him whilst i still in hospital and would it be alright if he Mum come up and helped !! Bless him finally found out he was worried that he would have to take the baby home by himself whilst i stay in and he thought baby may only be only a couple of hours or so.

I've been looking at the working tax credits for the childcare costs looks like we dont get any... the costs will be approx 450 a month and we earn approx 45kish between us depending on bonuses, has anyone qualified?

Hey all

Glam - where did you get the advice on arnica dosage? Was thinking of using it myself and thought I'd better look it up!

Various different websites - some were 'other people's experiences' and others were from health sites.

There are doses for 'acute cases' - such as accidents, operations and things and then a lower dose for a few days after the acute case.

I just took stuff from various sites and my own previous experience of using arnica.

It treats shock as well as the bruising which is good.

Well, I've been having a 'hypo' - took insulin, bloods 9.1 (too high) after breakfast and then about 90 minutes ago I started to feel really weird so checked blood and were 3.4

way too low so just having some lunch with a Kinder Bueno

.

Will phone hospital later to speak to diabetic nurse - I still have the odd pain in my bump, really thirsty and my pee was really cloudy even though i've drunk loads. Might test it next time I need to go.

u checked out child tax credits - everyone gets them I think.

I don't get working tax credits - we earn just over £50K at the moment but that will drop in October if OH doesn't get another job!

Yeah I thought we got child tax credits but even did the thing on martins page and that said we didnt qualify..

Can any one offer any advice about swine flu? A girl i work with has been confirmed as infected, we have open plan office, small company etc. I don't want to be over dramatic about it, but i WILL not be a matyr to the job and put my baby at risk. Should i be going home?
