right ladies just posting to say Im off soon to hospital to get poked and prodded and injected and all other many of things

Thanks for all the thoughts and well wishes...... Im in a total panic and just want to burst into tears now over the whole thing as it feels like I've got no control..... but hell thats probably just motherhood in general so best get used to it...

Sorry I've not posted any advice/answered any questions, I'll be honest I'm being totally selfish, and cant think about anything else other than every little twinge i get! LOL

Love to all and will update as soon as I can xx

HUGE HUGS THINKING OF YOU. xoxo

Afternoon ladies well i have braved the heat and went up town to pick up the babs cot its ever so cute its like a tiny travel cot but will see her through until big brother is in his bed then she can have the big cot. This is the one i have got http://www.kiddicare.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&catalogId=10751&langId=-1&productId=80026&source=froogle&cm_mmc=Froogle-_-Shopping%20Sites-_-CPC-_-Froogle

Ive also worn my new dress that Oh bought me a couple of weeks ago its not strictly a maternity dress but it is so ligght and floaty its lovely in this weather and there is so much material in it i will be bale to wear it all summer without it looking odd http://www.henleysclothing.co.uk/shop/product/netherley

Elainec can you not just eat at your desk when your hungry i know its not ideal but has to be better than waiting for a lunch time that isnt suitable. You could always be a bit naughty and put on some fainting incidents due to not eating correctly. I cant believe your managers attitude no pregnancy is not an illness but it doesnt take much to make you ill and adjustments should be made to prevent it.

Emsy im very surprised they havent booked you more appointments but then i havent been seen for almost 16wks now which i found really shocking as with the last one i was put under consultants care for being high risk (although pregnancy was very straight forward) i really cant figure out how they decide these things. If your really worried i know tesco/boots & lloyds will do Bp checks but not sure where they would stand doing a pregnant woman i dont see as it makes much difference when all you want to know is what it is then you go to your GP if it appears elavated :-)

I wonder how Cafc & MSD are doing i hope they are both ok :-)
Edit: Ha cafc just answered my question and you be as selfish as you want chick you must be worried sick you have every right to be only thinking of yourself and baby right now :-)

hi all

haven't read yet but I just need to rant. someone has stolen my hummus from the fridge at work...brand new tub as I bought two yesterday! and it had my name on. i even got a colleague to check i wasn't going mad and have just been blubbiing in the loos. i know it's not a big thing but i'm so hungry and without it my lunch is only oatcakes and veg, and i didn't want to ahve to go out but now i have to .

i feel like I am losing it!

I'd put a note on the front of the fridge Rach thanking the person who has stolen lunch from a pregnant woman and that they had best be suitably ashamed of themselves.. I'd also complain VERY loudly in any communal areas where the cuprit is likely to 'overhear'...

Cafc; glad to hear off you, I think its about time you were selfish and put you and your baby 1st! You have been a total star advising us, and putting up with me moaning!! Hope everything goes ok today. x

Xmas; love you cot! its sooo sweet! And can I swap OHs with you, the dress is lovely too

Rach; I hate it when people at work take my food/ drink. Last year I used to keep cans of drink in the fridge, everytime I took one I noticed there seemed to be more and more missing! I soon realised who was taking them and he assumed they were for 'sharing'. I wouldn't have minded if he would have offered to buy some to share but he never did!!!

rach

pigpen -i have done exactly that - the complaining anyway and am contemplating a note! dh suggests leaving one in there laced with laxatives!

slm6002

rach - thats is horrid, nasty person. i would send an email around the office asking for a replacement to be there by the end of lunch time plus perhaps a choc bar to make up for it!

Rach i like the laxative idea that would teach the swine hehe. When i was at work someone used to keep stealing my milk i always have full fat as i cant stand skimmed or semi skimmed thats what work used to provide i always told everyone they were welcome to some if they asked but some !!!!!! would always just take it so i started writing on the bottle that i had spat in it, funnily enough they never did it again. I never actually did spit in it but would you take the risk lol ;-)

pigpen

My brother once changed the labels on some tins of cat food to labels from stew... and made his housemates sick... lol

MERFE

CAFC hope it all goes well for you x

Has anyone here been going to aquanatal? I'd like to join a class but not sure if its a bit early to go yet. I called the pool but the man there just said come whenever try to get there about 5 mins before the class starts to have a chat with the midwife that runs it. Its quite far and he didnt seem sure about it so I don't wanna turn up if its far too early to go yet.
