    I need help!! OH has sweetly booked theatre tickets for tonight, in London, but didn't tell me til about midday as he wanted it to be a surprise!!! It is very much, and I don't have anything to wear lol all my pregnancy clothes are very casual and a little work type stuff, shoes are trainers, flat boots or ridiculously high heels. We've got to get a train etc to get there, not sure how much walking will be involved, how am I going to look nice but still be comfy :( any suggestions appreciated!

    Oh how lovely, I'm very jealous. What is the show?

    YAY :)


    Nikkit - YAy for sorting out the bottle feeding stuff and the induction/swweps :) What did she say exactly about the EPO and calcium?

    i asked her for advise on anything i should be taking , i said i was drinking RLT and some friends of mine had said its good to take calcium and EPO , and she looked at me shocked and said , we dont advise on calcium or EPO , i asked why , and she just said its something we dont advise , also there has never been any evidence in taking RLT to benefit mothers to be , but she said its a herbal tea so to carry on if i was enjoying it, so i am going to continue with RLT but not take anything else

    Yes it is my first. I seemed to have showed pretty quickly considering I'm tall, but I wasn't fat before I fell pregnant so I guess that's why. Just wish I looked obviously pregnant rather than like I've just got a pot belly:rotfl:

    im on no.3 but dd is 12 & ds is 8 so it feels a bit like number 1 as lots has changed and i have forgot so much
    im so sad today cant believe how carp life is sometimes ive got 2 friends funerals to go to age 31 & 28 i just cant get over it
    sorry im so miserable

    have fun mermaid

    I don't know what the show is lol he wouldn't tell me!! Thanks, a jumper dress might have to do I think, prob with leggings?

    aw 1more that's crap, I ended up going to 3 funerals of school friends last year, and I'm only 24 :( one thing that was nice was that were all a celebration of life rather than mourning their deaths. Seems to be a very strong theme in my area at mo thou, a lot of young people dying and the majority AREN'T drink or drugs or driving related. Scary

    Apparently there has been studies, i read it in a pregnancy mag. But i have millions so i dont know which one it was.

    But it said something like..
    Half mums were given a RLT capsule and the other half a placebo, and the half that had RLT had better labours and shorter second stages.

    Something like that :)

    Im wondering why she didn't give a reason as to why they dont advise EPO and Calcium. If its bad for you and/or baby there would be a reason :confused:

    Errrgh, im so bored! There is nothing to do in this house lol.

    ETA: I was just comapring my 12 week scan pics to some of my friends, and a girl i know, she was 12+4 and her baby was 12cm. And i was 12+6 and mine is 16.8cm! Tall baby or what!
  • Mermaid85 - If it's We Will Rock You, I will be seriously envious. I've seen that 3 times and LOVE it :D

    1more-Hugs to you hun, sounds horrible.

    Cafcgirl - Sorry the house was no good. It can be so disheartening when looking for a house but hopefully the next one will be 100 times better.

    i think its more each to there own choice , but i am going by my MW say , also H & B when i was in there asking about EPO and calcium they even didnt recommend any of it and refused to sell it me too ,
    but like i said its up to each individual choice , and with my 3 other children i never took any thing and had quick labours and no tears and easy labours too, i think its up to each individual to ask there doctors / MW for advise before taking anything

    CAFC - Sorry the house was poo, but at least on the bright side you saw all the flaws of the house and they weren't hidden by paint etc.

    You'll find your dream house soon, i know it :)

    I've found my dream house in Wednesday property pages. But its £145,000 :(
    And i have £400 in my savings account lol.

    eta: Nikkit, i agree with you. I think H&B and MW are also covering their own backs. Cause if something did happen anyone could say "Yeah but MW/H&B told me to take it and said it was safe"
