i would of thought you would of heard it now, i heard mine at 14 weeks, i ahve very few movements , i am 18 + 3 , only reall felt them this week , this is my 4th too so they say i should feel movements alot more sooner than a 1st pregnancy.
my little one is lying very low and on my left , i usually find mine 1 st time thats due to i use every other day with having had my problems over last few weeks and the op last week
I last tried at 9 weeks, then said i would wait until i've had the scan before trying again, and haven't used it since. I haven't had a MW appointment since 8 weeks either. I'll try again laterlizziebell*80 wrote: »Found this:

Working out your average weekly earnings
Thank you
Well my holiday is the 4 weeks before ML not the 8 weeks i thought, so they would work it out based on my average earnings over the first 4 weeks and also my holiday earnings over the last 4 weeks? I'd imagine.
I submitted 8 hours of holiday for monday (just gone) and only got paid 5.45

Redstar - half a stone isnt bad though in 11 weeks, if you thnk of it as you put half a stone onfor every ten weeks then thats just 2 stone?
Just wanted to say thank-you for this post kindofagilr.
I'm feeling quite down today. I've really been struggling this morning and feel like I'm constantly rushing to the loo today for one end or the other (TMI? I'm sorry). I've actually given up and went home sick at lunchtime. Up til now I've managed to be quite light-hearted about the fact that I've piled weight back on. but today, feeling grotty - it's just one more thing to not like about myself! Anyway, self pity moment nearly over, but I just wanted to say that your comment really cheered me up, and I hadn't looked at it that way!Working hard in the hopes of being 'lucky'

Lol just got a call on my mobile asking for me, i asked who it was and they said "it's confidential" so i said sorry she's not here, and hung up.
Now i'm panicking that it was the counselling people with my appt, i better ring them
Getting hounded by debt collectors though so auto assume it's them!0 -
afternoon ladies... I was wondering roughly how many bottles you all would recocomend getting. i dont plan on breastfeeding so will be using alot i guess.. so far i have about 8??? am i on the right track?
coming up to 13 weeks and so far ive not had any pregnancy symptoms whatsover... i wouldnt even have known i dont think if i hadnt of tested... has anyone else got this far feeling fine?
not that i want sickness or anything just always assumed until now that it was almost guaranteed if you were pregnant0 -
I'm not sure that the weight gain is always evenly spread anyway redstarnie. I put on loads in my first trimester (about a stone :eek:), lost about 10 lbs in my second trimester due to morning sickness coming back with a vengence, and have hardly put any on in tri 3, even though that's when you'd expect to put most on. I'm not good at doing the conversion between lbs and kilos but according to my notes I've only put 6kgs on between week 6 and now in total, but the bulk of that was at the beginning. And my baby is estimated to be quite big (about 6.5lb at week 33!) Anyway, provided you are eating healthily, its all good for the baby, and having lost it once, you know you can do it again.
I'm just waiting for inlaws to arrive and kids to get back from school, and then will be logging off for good until after baby is born tomorrow. Good luck to harley and squishy and csh who may all well have had their babies before I log in again.0 -
Good luck Nicki, hope everything goes as smoothly as possible tomorrow and wish you a speedy recovery x x x0

When i had dd we used about6 little 125ml bottles and 6 bigger 250 ml bottles, dont know why we felt the need to have so many - the little ones were really good for about 4 weeks then useless until we started weaning and would make up some milk to go in food to help mash it. With DS i just got bigger bottles and only 6, as this was how many fit in the sterilizer so couldnt clean more than that anyway at a time. Just always make sure you have one for in the night and one for in the morning before you go to bed. Only once did i have to wash, sterilize and boil and wait for the water to cool at 2am with a screaming baby to learn the mistake of going to bed early and assuming oh would make sure it was done.0
