im only just entering week 23 so i figured i'd get that one.....

oh well... at least im not behind!

Can anyone confirm if youre viable at 24 weeks or 26? Im getting confused by the information...
I dont plan on having him this early, but i just wanna know when i can celebrate

morning all,

They send the wek ahead emails as you are 23 weeks , BUT in your 24th week , IYSWIM , so your baby is in her 24th week , with me i am 39 weeks , but in my 40th week of growth IYSWIM, hth

its 24 weeks here , so i think it should be same all over the uk cafc

well i am still here as you cans ee, this little man is just so happy at being inside me ,

Trying to talk OH to go and see hes brother in Bedford , as i would love to have baby there as MK General is awful , but bedford in labour would be awful to drive to, but if i'm there and go in to labour would be fab , hes not to sure though .

Nothing else to do today

oh crikey,,, 23 weeks but 24 weeks of growth?!..... maybe i'm best not confusing myself and just waiting for the day when he turns up LOL

Nikkit - I'd be tempted to go wherever you're going to get the better level of care, and if you're already nervous about MK its not really going to make for a relaxed birthing process.....but then you dont wanna be giving birth by the side of the motorway...... eek! I dont know what to suggest really hun......

Gill - As a regular poster i've taken to using you as my benchmark LOL Hope you dont mind

I kep forgetting that its like mid feb, I still for some reason feel like im 4 months gone, not nearly 6.... its so mind altering sometimes when I think about all of it....

Ooooh I don't mind at all - feel incredibly flattered actually - don't think I've been anyone's benchmark before

We've got some 40% off Peacocks vouchers from work again. They're for the week starting 27th Feb and can only be used in store. Not sure how many spares I'll have (didnt bring them home yesterday as didnt anticipate being off today!) but the fairies should definitely have some leftover. PM if you want one

DH has gone to the shop for bread but has been missing for aaaaages! I put a spanner in the works by taking today off so suspect he's doing some sneaky valentines shopping lol.

CAFCGirl

awwww @ your dh for the sneaky shop.... perhaps you'll get bread for valentines? LOL
If you do ave any vouchers going spare, I'd love one, could do with some more maternity clothes

Im off for my porridge... ive moved on to having two bowls of the stuff for brekkie LOL, I do love my carbs!

gill_81uk

PM me your name and address and I'll get you one in the post when I'm back at work - they do a pretty good mat range and I've been living in maternity leggings and long tunic tops/knitted dresses from their normal range.

Hoping to stock up on some little outfits for baby

I had a very tiny bit of beer last night, tasted soooo gooood! I've been eating runny eggs too. When I had DS 12 years ago (:eek::eek::eek:) there was no advice about eggs and to my mind moderation seems to be key.

Mt vomit-inducing smell is deodorant, especially in the massive quantities my year 9s smother themselves in! I wonder what would happen if the next time one of them sprayed, rather than me telling them off I just threw up into the bin as I've so nearly done anyway :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

If you fancy a beer, I can recommend the Becks Blue non-alcoholic one. That's what I drank when I was pregnant (not that I'm saying you shouldn't drink a little normal beer now and then, just offering an alternative if you want it). I've also discovered M&S do a 'Soft Brew' which is non-alcoholic but has that nice, yeasty flavour.
