Crazytink sorry to hear about the accident at the weekend hope everyone starts to feel better soon, do make sure you see the doctor as if things get worse or crop up again at a late stage and you find you need to make a personal injury claim and didnt seek medical advice for pain at the start it can drag things out and from experience of a work related injury it does help if you see GP when in pain as its then documented, also keep any recipets for painkillers hard to prove 2yrs down the line as I am having to now.

My blooming marvellous order of dress and top came today ordered normal sz 12 and both huge especially around neckline and bust and will have to go back very annoying as postage was £5 and will cost me to send them back, not impressed with quality or sizing may email them later also.

The Distance Selling Regulations require them to refund the delivery cost. See section 3.48 of the regulation on the Office of Fair Trading website: http://www.oft.gov.uk/shared_oft/business_leaflets/general/oft698.pdf

crazytink - what a nightmare!

Having a quiet evening tonight, nipped to Sainsburys for some bits and got a pack of huggies and my mother and baby bundle. Wouldn't pay a tenner for it but 3 mini packs of wipes will be quite useful and the changing mat will be.

dh and I ended up in seperate rooms again last night - so glad we have a spare bed now though i'm annoyed as the allegedly orthopaedic mattress on the new spare bed is really soft so whoever sleeps in there wakes up with aches!

got a bit worries that scan was so quick and whether they did it properly but think bubs must've just been in the right position as he checked everything. also the 12 week scan was really detailed so perhaps thats part of it.

looks like it is cooling down now, I am certainly glad about that

If anyone is waiting on either boots or tesco baby club vouchers. I have emailed both of them in past few days and they are both now saying it will take 8 mweeks before you receive anything.

Crazytink - OMG, what an awful thing to happen! I can see your point about giving birth in the carpark if that MW going to be on duty when the time comes. Hope you guys get better soon.

Hopefully the government will use the money saved from CTF for something worthwhile. Speaking as a lifelong saver (I was convinced I was going to die alone, so needed money for a good retirement home ) it can bite you on the a$$ if you wind up having savings - we're entitled to absolutely zip in terms of tax credits, benefits, etc, even though we both earn low wages. Ah well, sods law!

Someone told me yesterday that if you are pregnant (and intend to breastfeed) you shouldn't be wearing an underwired bra as it effects the development of milk ducts. Has anyone heard this before? I've never owned a bra that didn't have underwire.

dreambirdie

i knew you wernt meant to wear underwired bras when you were pregnant but i never really knew why. ive been wearing wired ones as the non-wired ones dont look very supportive. although might try a few non-wired ones now as i am hoping to breastfeed.

crazytink that midwife sounds like a b*tch!! with my raging hormones i think i might of smacked her :mad: i hate the way midwives are soo blas! about pregnancy sometimes. yes they see a lot of women coming and going,but to us its the most worrying time ever. i dont see why some of them are in their profession TBH. 2 weeks ago i had to go to maternity hospital as i hadnt felt the baby moving in four days. i was only 20 weeks at that stage so i wasnt really sure how often i should be feeling bubs moving. and the more i thought about it the more worried i was. so i foned the hospital and the receptionist told me to come in. and when i got there i got the most ignorant midwife. she just said most women only start feeling baby moving at this stage bla bla bla, and she was ignoring me when i was trying to tell her that i had felt quiet a lot of movement for the past 2 weeks. she made me feel like i was a complete hypochondriac (sp?) everything turned out to be ok(i just have a lazy baby lol) but on the way out she said "see i told you it was fine" in the most sneery way ever. did not like her one little bit

ooh i foned the doctors today RE the iron tablets. the doctors dont get sent the blood results unless there is something wrong, and the receptionist checked and nothing had came back for me. so then she checked with one of the community midwives who said that they give everyone iron tablets after 18weeks. i guess it must be different in some areas?

we are in a similar position ethelsmum we have a definite girls name but noo chance for boys! My ds is called luis and so we cant have anything too traditional as his is not, but i dont like anything, not for us. Am loving all the names here though esp landon.
ok, bite the bullet, the pink name is . . . fern (prepares for the lynch mob!) what you all think?

I love it! And after living with it for 27 years (even when it was a really unheard of name) I can say I never got teased for it as there is very little you can rhyme it with.

I'm back from my weekend away in Wales and had a fab but tiring time with DD. My feet are swollen badly from the long journey so have them propped up as I type, and my back is killing me from travelodge bed but at £19 a night who am I to complain. DD loved the beach, even though we had to go late in the day/ early morn as it was just too hot for a 2 yr old (and a heavily pregnant grump! )

My aim for this week is to get my hospital bag packed as I now have everything I need. Also I need to wash a few baby bits and then put all the baby clothes in the drawers.

Big congrats to the new mummies I missed, and welcome to newbies too!
