    Morning All,

    Gisi - Im nothing like my avatar except I'm pregnant and have blonde hair and i wear black! My old avatar on my old username has a gyrating woman in a bikini so as you can guess i needed something else quick! lol. Thanks for the vibes
    and hope you like your new hair - sounds nice.

    On the EPO front - I dont take orally as it gives me the runs. Just insert it at night as high as i can.

    Sugar - Happy EDD ! Hope she comes today for you.

    NMS ok ok Dont rub it in! Wheres these baby pics anyway! I'm dying to see what he look like. Really pleased for you.

    Been up and raring to go today and already been to Lidls for a clothes airer I wanted £6.99, dont normally use them but i'm being very mse at the moment. What a buy , it is absoultely huge in size and can fit on a full wash. Highly recommended if anyones looking for one cheaply.

    Succinct rant ahead:

    The cat has just thrown up. On my labour bag. I'm going to make the baby mittens, socks and a hat out of him.

    I'm booking my dog a flight over for her breakfast :rotfl:

    From your research, Glam, could one infer that since you are being induced 2 wks early, someone planning to go to full term could move all those dosages & such back by 2 weeks? I just can't see myself inserting EPO every night for 6+ weeks!! :eek: That's one I might laze out on ;).

    H&B are going to lurrrrve us! Might wait til there's a discount code or sale floating around, since I have til November to sort this stuff out :p:D

    csh - thanks for the tip off about sleeping bags!! If you get more info, please let me know!

    Yes I am being Induced 2 weeks early which is why it's my individual plan. There appears to be evidence that people take one cup of RLT from 3 months pg and take RDA of Calcium throughout pregnancy.

    I would say the Arnica and EPO are due date specific.

    About inserting EPO - it didn't occur to me when it happened that things might look a little like a tiny oil slick during the nocturnal bathroom breaks. So don't panic :)

    Also, if anyone's taking a magnesium supplement, this is supposed to help support and maintain cervical thickness and closed-ness. Which I only found out two days ago and has been irking me ever since.

    I read a study which said about taking Magnesium and Calcium supplements and then I thought hang on - that's what they gave SS to STOP her going into early labour. So u do need to be careful what u read!

    OK i have my calcium and arnica and ive topped up my RLT stocks. I'm still wavering on the EPO as used to use it for period pains and it never really did anything for me i may check it out at tesco later when we pop in..

    Ive plumped for the 6c tabs of arnica so i aint popping hundreds of pills :-)

    Thank you all :-D

    a bit late as I have been talking to someone in work (sorry!)

    But 6c is the lowest strength, then 30c with 200c being the strongest.

    Glam, I think the calcium's meant to reduce the amount of pain - I've only been given magnesium from the clinic.

    I'm not sure though, weezl's the calcium expert I think!

    Edit: Bah. Husband went out, I thought he'd be gone for aaaages and planned to be showered and dressed and productive by the time he got back. He's back and I'm still sitting here stinky. Must go be an adult.

    yes it is supposed to help with pain - one of the sites that has been linked to on here said about taking Magnesium but I've passed on that one!

    might ring and see if order been dispatched yet - I'm so impatient!

    Anyone doing a H&B order might want to add lavender oil to their order, as it's used commonly in making your own reusable baby wipes and washing cloth diapers :) (think also is something to add to baby's bath!). Also camomile is supposed to be very good for wipe mix as is soothing on baby's bum ;).

    But don't use Lavendar whilst pregnant - even the bubble baths. Am sure it's not good but can't remember why!

    Good morning all.

    I got rudley awakned by midwife this morning, went to see her last monday and she stole lots of my blood while oh held me down (severe phobia of needles) and she only went and forgot to sign the bottles and the lab wont accept them. Gotta go back tomorrow morning to get more done now. Gotta be brave and do it.

    Labour vibes to all who need them today :)
