Re Sure start -

Does anyone know the child tax credit amount you have to receive yearly to qualify? Its £1000 something . Just been told on the phone but i forgot. I dont think we qualify as OH earns alot

Edit You get it if you have a child under 1 year old. So if i apply at 29 weeks , the earliest I can I'll get it right.My daughters born in August. My son ..aww sounds good that..will be born in Oct. I hope I get it

**confuzzled**

Zachary William was born by emergency CS at 5.18am on 21st May weighing in at 9Ibs 2oz.

Somewhat of a story and not too sure whether to write my birth story or not. It was a prolapse cord. Anyway, I will ponder whilst I sleepwalk around this 'new mummy again' world! I'll be back, just need to get into swing of things first!

Congrats BSM and Welcome to the world Zachary:j:j can't wait for piccies:D Sorry the birth didn't go as smoothly as hoped but at least you're both ok, that's the main thing;):D

Hello - can I just ask a quick early preg/ nausea related question?

Is it possible to eat..feel nauseous but still be hungry, and still feel nauseous after eating?

i've had no symptoms really up until now.

Sounds about normal MV, good to see you here! I've only just got over my sickness but I am still funny with certain foods, just make sure you keep eating (its hard I know!) and keep to plain stoggy food. I still cant handle things with sauces, onions, pizzas, chinese or indian food. I lived off ready salted crisps and fruit pastels for a little while :A as it was all I could cope with! Now I cannot stop eating!!!

NO ALCOHOL AND CHOCOLATE!!!! :eek::eek::eek:

I could cope without alcohol but I am afraid I couldn't live without chocolate Fuzz!! I am missing nuts! (lol) I am slightly allergict to them but normally risk it and eat them anyway, but I cant now, OH was scoffing the big box of Forrero Rocher I had for my bday the other night, it almost brought tears to my eyes as I love them

Sorry I'm taking over the thread again, quiet afternoon at work!

MV - the sickness is just weird, I had it from 5 weeks to 20 weeks - every day, several times a day. It never failed to surprise me how I could be like a scene out of Omen ( think that's the right movie ) one minute and starving the next - really weird

Congrats to the new arrivals

Hope everyone is weel

My house is quickly turning into a chinese laundry - now I have my washing machine back after 3 1/2 weeks ( + £100 ) it took to repair it, I'm washing all baby bits ( & I have a lot !!)

Now my dishwasher has packed in - think my white appliances are ganging up on me !!:rotfl:

Please excuse the horrific-ness of my hair and general appearence. I just honest to god cannot be bothered with anything LOL

Im flitting between thinking i'll go early/late. Part of me feels like "knowing my luck" I'll still be preggers come July LOL but then another part of me is like fixating on all these little signs, like getting stronger BH, increase (sorry tmi) "fluid", i keep thinking bump is getting lower, but DH thinks its because I wanna see it...:rotfl:

Quite frankly I'd like to give birth tomorrow just to get rid of this itching. Its so bad, I've had some of them burst the skin (ewwww) and theyve bled..... will remember to mention that to midwife tomorrow as well, although Im sure she wont give a flying rats.....

Wow at your bump. Where did you buy your bra from as it looks nice and supportive. I normally get my from la senza and did have to buy some new ones when i was about 10 weeks as my boobs were getting bigger. They seem to have gotten bigger since then and i find now that the underwire bit leaves a mark on my skin. Hope you don't mind me asking.

Also those new biscuits that are like breakfast are quite good, Bervita I think they are called - the milk & oat flavour are lovely. Apparently they release energy at the same rate that cereal would, giving you a bit of energy if you not feeling like eating much

I know!! think I'll just have to keep fingers crossed bubs likes ice cream:D I know I'm ok with vanilla but been too scared to try any stronger flavours:o I hate the sicky, gaggyness that follows most foods:o and I have sick-phobia...eugh!

can't believe your OH did that:eek:....the b*st*rd:p:rotfl: i hope he's gonna buy you a huge box(with his JSA money;)) for after you've had bubs:D
You're in good company..I'm bored too:)

How are you feeling MLSL? Thats a pain about your appliances, its always the way, they all seem to go at once!! I am hoping if we have probs with ours OH can fix them as he 'was' a service engineer for white goods so at least that helps!

I washed some baby clothes at the weekend, got more to do still, and it was soo sweet seeing all the little outfits hanging on the line!

Lol at buying them with JSA money!!! I am hoping he will buy me some!

I find icecream quite good, but the best thing is ice lollies, I went through loads this weekend!! I have sick-phobia, not sure how this will work with having a baby but we shall see!!

Glad I'm not the only bored one, I'm waiting for a meeting to begin, think it starts 4pm so theres not much point starting anything major!
