Thanks Sarah Joanne, it wasn't something i'd thought about, I'm gonna go look into it now!

Sonee - nice to meet you, not really got any words of wisdom re C-section, hopefully things will run smoothly for you. Glad you're eating now too, i couldn't till about 20weeks, the nausea was awful!

nite all

Anyway....update time!
My trapped nerve is still with me and today I felt very 'big'! Don't know how else to describe it really. Big and round!!
Work is piling up and the person who is taking over from me for nine months thinks my job is easy and so hasn't written anything down. Little does she know!!
Our black out blinds that we ordered for the study and babies room before Christmas are being fitted tomorrow. Can't wait! All that I need then are curtains to go over the top, give the room another dust and hoover, get rid of all the stuff that I have dumped in there and put some other stuff on e-bay.
Now I am probably off to bed.
P.S. Does anyone else feel heavy...'down there'?!?!?

I bought a tens machine on ebay- an ex rental machine with boost button, and the replacement reusable pads were only £3.99 so... total spend was only about £12. Was v lucky though, but have tried it on dh and it works so i am happy :money:

Grrr just types a massive post then lost it lets try that again shall we .....


Evening ladies hope you are all well

Bexta i had the same not exactly craving but if the stuff was there i ate it it was tomoatoes with joey and seems to be bread with this one nothing on it just dry bread but it has to be uber fresh.

MV glad everything went well for you loads of sticky bean vibes for you :-)

EA i originally had a an almost 3 page birth plan i did manage to get it down to a single page all bullet pointed midwives did say it helped but they will still ask you the same questions even if they read it.


Well morning sickness is hitting me with a vengance in the evenings now i feel like being sick constantly and nothing will stop it even my tried and tested tonic water. Something i have noticed that i have never experienced before is very greasy hair i usually wash my hair everyother day by choice as i can if i needed to leave it a week and it would still not look greasy but now it has to be washed everyother day or it looks like ive dipped it in chip fat ewwwwwwww.

Awww that sucks, I was lucky I was only sick once and that was at work cos of some strong perfume lol, I felt nauseous a lot but was never sick

I am the same with my hair I used to wash it every other day but I have to wash it every day at the minute

I too have got most of my advice off here lol, I have been lucky though and I have seen the same MW every appointment, but I dont know if I will get her for the birth?

Som - yeah the lotion works well at home, the extra top seems to be helping a bit at work, but I am still itching, and the camomile lotiun isnt really easy to put on before work and then put clothes on, SO lol I might get some E45 as well tonight that I can use when I have to wear clothes lol and I will just use the lotion when I can be half naked at home lol

Gill - gingerbread willies what a fab idea!

Maureen - I think they cut the cord asap unless you request it to have stopped pulsing

Guinea - YAY for 35 weeks

Welcome Sonee sorry I cant help with your questions, I am sure you will be fine and the consulatnts will look after you

KT - thats a bargin

Morning all, well I am at work only 8 more days to go after this eek :eek: I am kinda scared by that cos I have always worked, ever since I left school after GCSE's I have worked, so its going to feel weird i think not going to work

Does that make sense?

I am so pleased its friday YAY for the weekend, and I am off work on monday too

I just wish it was hometme now lol

I am annoyed with Asda, I went into the store last night to see if they had the moses basket and cotbed sheets in store and they didnt, so I thought ok its fine I will order them into the shop (COS if you spend £25 you can get them delievered instore free of charge) well I went online last night and the blankets and sheets have gone!!! All I can see if 2 cream flat sheets, where have the rest gone!

Somnium

KT - bet OH loved you! Am keeping my eye out on ebay and waiting for auctions to go to last minute before biding, have a couple of weeks yet but at least I know if I dont get one OH is happy for me to buy new. Did see mothercare do pads for £4.99 tho, so thats better.

Guinea - I dont feel so bad size/weight wise till I lie down then it all becomes very uncomfy and awkard. Actually starting to dread going to bed cos my nights are so disturbed.

Jut trying to read MW writing in my notes from yesterdays appt. am measuring 36cm at 34 weeks but know thats norm and that IVF babies can be a lil bigger, but does add to the fact that I think she will arrive early. Baby is def head down in the right position and she has written something in the box for engaged but cant for the life of me make out what it says! Its the first time have had anything written there tho so am guessing baby has moved down as I suspected.

Kindof - bummer about the sheets, fingers crossed they come back in stock before the event ends. I know at work we sell some non irratating bath lotion type stuff, think its oilatum or something, dont know if that might help, its with the baby stuff!

I am at MW on tuesday for my 34 week appointment, I was measuring 31 at my 31 appointment but all the ones before that I was measuring big, so I am interested to see if he is measuring right again or if he is big

I have had stuff in the engaged box I think, but its just been ceph which means head down in the right place I think

BUT I think the tinker has moved, cos all the time he was head down (that I knew for sure) I could feel bashes on the right hand side and left hand side of me, but now I am still feeling bashes there and just above foof and some times near the belly btton? so I am worried that he has moved after being the right way all along?

Well apparantly matalan have packs of 2 for £4 so I might go there instead

bexta

Hi, thanks for the advice re the anti-d. Hope it's in my arm rather than butt! I'm a looong way off maternity leave at the mo, but can totally empathise that it's going to feel weird. I've worked in some form or another since I was 12 (leaflet delivering, babysitting, 'real' work etc - don't worry, my parents weren't into child slave labour or anything!) and I'm nearly 30, so it is going to be mighty weird. Half of my colleagues are convinced that I'm going to be back by Christmas though. I have no idea why, cos bubs is due for arrival in July - and there's no way in hell I'll be back at work that quickly.

got-it-spend-it

Kindof- I was going to recommend Matalan for sheets etc. We got Henry some the other day as he is now in his cotbed (so he lasted the grand total of 8 weeks in his moses basket). They seem to wash well and are a good price. Their fleecey blankets are also really nice- we have a couple of the blue ones.
