    I am totally wanting lager!!!!!!!!!!! HELP lol I have bought some lager shandy from asda, that seems to be doing the trick lol, it stemmed from when I was in the pub on Bank Holiday Monday for a meal and could see/smell the lager, really made me want one lol

    What is mastitis

    Kind of, if you're out of the first trimester a small shandy shouldn't do you any harm - especially when you consider that in the past Guinness was recommended to women with bad morning sickness, and often women would be a few months gone before they realised they were pregnant and would be drinking normally in the meantime. We weren't all born with foetal alcohol syndrome ... the problems come when women drink to excess.

    Mastitis is a blockage of the milk ducts :eek:

    Lol @ kindof that's some mega catching up :D:D
  • I have no idea personally what my blood type is, I just figured that someone would have thought to have written it down at some point.
    I`m honestly not worried about having any tests at all as I believe that what will happen will happen. I hate medical intervention of any type or variety.
    Just wish OH wouldnt lay on the guilt trip.#
    thanks for all the answers

    Welcome Gill!
    I am 38+1 and never had any morning sickness. I was very tired during the first trimester, but don't think that started until about week 8. Basically, when I did a pregnancy test, I think I was about 4 weeks, and I didn't feel pregnant either. If you don't get sick, just be glad! There are plenty of other ailments for you to complain about later on (I should know!!).

    Midwife appointment went fine and baby has started to engage! :T
    She is going to ask the doctor for a prescription to help with the acid reflux too. She hadn't heard of the one Harley recommended but said they normally prescribe something beginning with "R" (she knew what it was called, I just can't remember!!). Anyway, it was the same one my friend told me about on Saturday that she was given when she was throwing up during labour. She said she wished she had known about it during pregnancy so hopefully it should help.

    Aless - I have the M&P changing bag from the Next sale too!! Pretty sure it is the same as the model mentioned earlier, but I have cut the tags off as it's now packed for hospital! It is quite roomy, but I have it packed full!

    Kindof - your are funny! I think you are answering every single post ha ha.

    ETA - tablets are called Ranitidine. Hopefully pick them up later so will report back soon if they are effective!

    Oh 32B, I don't know what to suggest. I would have thought that any job was better than none, especially in your situation and the current market, so your OH can't be picky, but they shouldn't stop your money with a pregnant person in the household.

    Big hug with the family drama.

    To put it into context we live right at the edge of 2 very violent etates the start time of the job would have meant him standing on the (battle)road between them at night. Their has been several murders and stabbings not to mention beatings on that road and not just at night. just last week they tried to kill someone because "he was on their turf" the poor boy was from their estate just had a hair cut. But apparently thats no reason not to put in for the job. if we had known i would have made sure OH put the app in but botched the interview.

    They don't know i am pregnant Would it make a difference thought i would need to wait till i was 26+ week before that mattered?

    Thank you for the hugs.

    I think even more reason to tell them you are pregnant. That is horrific and apologies - there's me thinking he's turning down shelf stacking or something.

    A baby is viable at 25 weeks but a pregnancy is a pregnancy, you can't be any more or less pregnant than when you conceive. I would mention it. Ask your Citizens Advice Bureau for assistance following the receipt of the letter, they could point you in the right direction.

    Hope this helps.

    Off to visit my grandma. Check in with you all later.

    it's actually not that one its white and a bit smaller if I remember but basically a box with stuff in, I think its pointless but others love it :confused:
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.
