KOAG, I had my ipod and speaker dock with me playing some great songs and it didn't put me off any of them (Apart from I had to get Hubby to skip through Rage against the machine and St Anger... But in my defence he actually put a different playlist on than I was expecting lol...)

I would get hubby back if he's still out even if it's just to make you feel a bit calmer that he's there

My sister is such a BIATCH.

My auntie had free VIP tickets to go see the Xfactor tonight with backstage to meet Jedward. I perosnally think the whole thing sucks, but I have Ellie here tonight and she loves Jedward. I asked my sister if she would let me have them as she had phoned first and she said yeah for £60.

She can lick my bum! I said fine, take Ellie with you then since you have two tickets, but oh no, her BOYFRIEND wants to go. HE DOESNT EVEN LIKE THEM!

Just utterly selfish.

You can do self employed work if you claim SMP. It's mentioned here: http://www.dwp.gov.uk/publications/specialist-guides/technical-guidance/ni17a-a-guide-to-maternity/statutory-maternity-pay-smp/working-in-your-maternity-pay/

I just read that link. Is it just me or am I reading at is if you do SE before baby is born you are OK but if its after baby is born you lose the SMP?
I could be reading it wrong of course ETA: Think I have read it wrong as its referring to another employer

Thanks for the expressing replies. Tia that's a good idea to take the petal bit off it wouldn't have crossed my mind!

I'd fed her from the left side at 10am, then fed her on the right after that. So i expressed from the left at about 3pm and that's when i got the 3oz. Will have another try tonight. I have no real reason to do it, except i can let DS feed her again without buying formula

3, Your fairies arrived today They're lovely, although slightly too big for Caitlyn I'm sure she'll have a growth spurt soon! (and she said thank you for the choccy lol)

I just made chicken and pasta in a mushroom and garlic sauce... It was sooooooo bland... Even with a splash of worcestershire sauce I just couldn't force it down... I don't know what I did so wrong... But Aimee cleared her plate lol... Says a lot for my cooking... It wouldn't be so bad, but there's a whole pot out in the kitchen for another meal...

Beenie, sorry, meant to reply early (been reading on and off all afternoon). I agree with Tia, take the floppy bit off. If it's the same bit I'm thinking, I "borrowed" (and didn't give back and now don't know where they are!) some from the hospital (they were extra parts of the demo kit, never been used by anyone before) but they were no benefit at all. Maybe it's just me but I didn't get on with the softfit shield from the Medela Swing either and went back to hard ones.

Krystal, herbs next time?

Yes it's another employer so in my case if I had started my new job before I had Jack I would get SMP from my old employer but I didn't. So........ now Jack has been born as soon as I start my new job my SMP will stop. (Althoug I'm starting at the end of the 39 weeks so not applicable)

Have done the SE thing online now so I can go ahead with my shop on Monday

KOAG I'd call him if he's still out. Even if it's a false alarm, better to be safe than by yourself

Good luck!!

Ok Ive called OH back, just got out the bath, waiting for OH to get back, I will monitor the pains again

Its weird I only got one pain the whole time I was in the bath so it makes me wonder what is going on?

LOL I am imagining RATM songs playing as you give birth lol

by the time i got to the delivery suite, music was the last thing on my mind lol!!

LOL - same here.

Although I did have Sky Sports on the tele so I could keep an eye on the football results. It was last day of the season

Hope you are ok KOAG. If you are worried, you could ring the hospital for advice. They can tell you if you should stop where you are or come in. Try staying at home as long as you can though as it's more comfy than hospital.
