    Emma_b - so glad to hear about your scan, all the best for a much less stressful pregnancy now you can relax a bit.

    Gingham - hope you're feeling okay and the little one hangs on in there for another week or so for you, but don't worry too much if not, you are so close to full term that I'm sure everything will be fine.

    thanks to all who replied to me...didnt realise i had got so many people worried for me...oops!!
    we are so relieved and very happy last night was best nights sleep ive had in a couple of weeks!
    im trying to chill out now and make the most of my hubby spoiling me for the time being LOL

    baby swings. (do you mean the rocking/swinging chairs?).my friend has got one and uses it all the time, doubles up as a highchair for her (when not swinging!) but, as an ex nanny, i never really used them and they are quite bulky (ones ive seen anyway) we wouldnt have room for one i dont think.

    Having a very strange week. Still feeling sick and lethargic. Still waiting for Dr to contact me with date for a scan. Visiting the mw for the first time today. Got some good news. My friend gave birth to her third boy 9lb 9 born at home. She's a trained mw and takes everything in her stride - she's a wonderful mum. Also got some sad news that my other friend has had a a second missed miscarriage - her first was around the time I had mine - so feeling for her.

    Best wishes to everyone. Wonderful news from Andrea (Eleanor is my middle name so I love it!) and glad the scan went well Emma.

    Could you not apply after the baby is born when you'll be getting child tax credit as well? You will be eligable for the sure start grant any time up til the baby is 3 months old if you get child tax credit of more than £545 a year.


    I will be on 90% of pay for 6 weeks
    then 50% plus smp for 18 weeks

    So I still may not be eligable

    Hi,

    Just added myself to the list - thought I had done this before but can't see myself. I'm due 11/3/2007 so just over 6 weeks to go with my 3rd (son 12, daughter 10). Have to say am starting to get slightly nervous even though I done this before!!!!

    What do I do??? Months of trying and suddenly I have a line on my first pregnancy test:j . What do I do??
    Do I have to give more sticks a go? Do I need to panic and see a doctor? I haven't told anyone yet. I have no idea where to start and I'm off skiing on sunday (can I?)! Panic!

    I'm not panicking really. I just have no one to tell (would rather do it in person) and I'm not sure if I am pregnant (tesco's test said 'probably').

    I guess I'll come off the TTC after I see a doctor...

    PS Hubby is so chuffed... with himself :rolleyes:

    CONGRATULATIONS!!! You will need to see a Dr at some point and later on make a "booking in" appointment with the midwive. And take it easy with the skiiing.

    Just thought are you taking folic acid? If not get down to the chemist pronto and buy some!!
