    I got an appointment for my u/s on 22nd november (dating/nuchal scan). Was quite shocked as this is going to be on a Sunday at 9am so i have no idea how i'm gonna manage to down one and a half pints of water by 8am (they say you should have got through it an hour before the scan) and not manage to wee myself by the time i get to the hospital.

    Instead of drinking loads of water, just dont go to the toilet in the morning. Then it will be in your bladder from overnight :D

    Is what i did for my early scan :D x

    Hi everyone :wave:

    Been a while since i last posted on here.

    I got an appointment for my u/s on 22nd november (dating/nuchal scan). Was quite shocked as this is going to be on a Sunday at 9am so i have no idea how i'm gonna manage to down one and a half pints of water by 8am (they say you should have got through it an hour before the scan) and not manage to wee myself by the time i get to the hospital.

    Also have an appointment to see the consultant on 1st december so am excited about that too. :T Am hoping he will say it's fine for me to attempt a VBAC.

    Keep feeling guilty because i always end up rolling onto my tummy whilst i'm sleeping and am sure that i'm squishing my poor little bean.:eek: I wish i could find some way to stop myself rolling over when i'm sleeping. OMG i hate nightimes because i can NEVER get comfy.

    Also seem to find myself napping more during the day then my DS which often results in him hitting me with his bricks in an attempt to wake me up. I know - bad mummy :rolleyes:. Can't wait for the 2nd trimester to roll on so i don't feel so sleepy anymore.

    This question is probably gonna have you all :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: but can you eat cheescake during pregnacy because i'm unsure whether or not they contain raw eggs :confused: - i'm talking about the type you buy frozen then deforst at home BTW.

    Anyhoo gonna go watch maury now and work out what to make for lunch. don't really feel like cooking do it will be between nuggets and chips, chicken and rice or cheese sandwiches.

    Hi Im sure youre ok with shop-bought cheesecake I think theyre bit wary of you making 1 yourself????
    Opinions are like ar*eholes - everybody has one!!!! :D

    MrsI - any cheesecake sold in the store would contain pasteurized egg by law, so is safe to eat.

    I DEFFO wouldnt drink a pint and a half an hour before, there is no way I could hold it!

    I drank a pint about 45 mins before, and was 45 mins late, so I held that for 1 hour and a half (and it hurt) and my bladder was ridiculously full, I did get goodpics though lol

    Then at 20 week scan I drank 330ml of Lucozade half an hour before appointment

    I dont know what to do, I dont know whether to let them come the day after we get back from hosital then tell them we want peace for a few days, OH only has 2 weeks off so I want it to be me, him and bubs

    Morning!

    I am so tired :(

    Kindof - If you search 'missvondoom' on ebay it should bring me up lol.
    Also, me and OH are telling people we want to be alone for the first few days and then we're having a visiting day for parents and siblings to get it over and done with. Then everyone else can see the baby when im ready.

    Baby has just woke up i assume as the kicking has commenced again :rotfl: Its constant all day, doesn't she ever get tired!?

    Right bit of an ebay dilemma (to me it is lol)
    I've set all my listings as Paypal only, as its easier for me and i hate postal cheques, etc.
    So i've set it to block bidders without paypal, and now someone has emailed me asking if i would accept a Postal Order.
    They wrote this
    So now obviously i feel guilty, but dont know how to word this in a nice way.
    I want to say "No, because of the current postal strike it would take forever for the postal order to reach me, then it would take a while for the item to come back, i'd rather have it done via paypal as its quick easy and i need money in my paypal account to buy things from ebay myself" :p:rotfl:

    Any ideas on how to word that nicer? :D

    EA , i always block no paypal and 0 feedback also , block no credit card on file , and overseas bidders, unless they message for further details or you will gte the nigerians bidding and scamming you , ( no offence meant ), i also cancel bids with less than 10 as afeedback, i dont care if its nasty , but there are so many scammers on ebay , never feel guilty or never trust anyone ,,

    Just reply ,

    Unfortunately , due to previous sales , i only allow paypal payments , and people with a certain amount of feedback , sorry , and good luck with any other purchases,

    It takes 2 mins to set paypal account up , and also you are covered with there address with paypal , scammers use cheques and postal orders , most genuine bidders have a paypla account ,

    do not feel guilty just say NO !!!

    can you link one of the items as i cant find your name on ebay then i can see if there is any stuff fro my little man , Ty EA
