Weezl's not on but this is the link again with the info on.

Hope my RLT arrives tomorrow - I wanna start it.

Bought myself some Ryvitas and Cheese Triangles to snack on, will make sure I take fruit as well. Been tough cos had no food in.

one of those sites links to this dosage for calcium

http://www.herbs2000.com/minerals/calcium.htm

which says average RDA for pregnant woman is 1,200mg (so 2 tabs for me) and then I'll double up to 2,000mg at onset of labour like Weezl's link says.

i thought they only did sweeps AFTER Due Date but now that Tara had one before because she was so uncomfy.

WOuld think it would depend on your situation and how nice ur MW is!

Silver Cross emailed me back - £25 in P&P for a new pram apron.

Will wait and see now if I can get the ebay one for cheaper, 8 days to go - then will contact them to order. At least I know I can get it from somewhere!!

Hi everyone, im once again in the process of catching up, must try and get on here at work, it would be much easier!! Just wanted to say that over the last couple of days I have been bitten loads!! Got over 10 maybe 15 mega itcy red bites over my body. DH has none!! I cannot understand it. Surely being pregnant does not make u more likely to be bitten??

im not sure fattybooboo - i think ur blood n skin can change slightly when pregnant (im not sure if this is an old wives tale or not!!??) so perhaps u are a bit more suceptible (sp?)!??

poor you :sad: I was bitten alive in my last pregnancy and they wouldnt give me a single thing for it, try slapping any bites rather than scratching if you can - i still have quite a few scars on my arms and legs from scratching myself raw.

Yay, BP came down to 123/80 - now I just have to see what they say at ANC tomorrow, no wonder my BP goes up when I am there, its always red hot and they keep you waiting for ages.

Good luck to the ladies going in to be induced tomorrow, you lucky things!!
