Can anyone recommend any decent coloured muslins? Mine are all a bit on the thin side and thought I'd treat myself to some more. I'd like some bright, or at least something other than white! Red, Blue, Green or Mint - something other than white! Any ideas?

They have some lovely coloured ones in Sainsburys Tu range. They come in a pack of 5 I think. I have graduating shades of pink (obviously you wont want them) and also yellow and green ones. I like bringing my colouful muslins out when everyone else has off-white ones!!

i really cant stand her, she came to see me when i was still PG and she was SO up herself i just gave her one word answers in the hope she'd booger off quicker, she also really pressed me to say OH is abusing me to the point where i felt i was giving the wrong answer when i said he wasnt!!

My HV asked me the first time she came round but she said before she asked that she was obliged to ask everybody.

oh! I forgot to tell you all! My bloods came back- don't know if anyone remembers that I'd requested an extra one at my scan to specifically check long-term iron profile, since this is one of the risks with a small age gap, and can cause problems with the pregnancy.

Well it was 12.8 and 10-16 is normal/healthy :j:j:j

:T:j

I wanted to look up my ferritin count from 7 years ago but I seem to have put my medical records in a different place to OH's. :doh:

When I was pregnant they refused to do anything about my iron until it was below 10 even though I'd previously been treated for anaemia with an iron level of 10.8 because it was within the official "normal" range. 12.8 is good enough to give blood (when you aren't pregnant that is)!

You could dye some white ones (or put them on a hot wash with the bath mat).

They do for a cervix biopsy. I was laying there legs spread, and she said "this might sting a bit" and got some scissor things and just cut a lump out :eek:

Becles the same thing happend to me then after 3 attempts the Dr told me the lady was still training and apologized. I said to the Dr you have one more go and then I'm out of here! ( he did it that time) but it has certainly put me off. Have been clear so far thank goodness!
