MSE Parents Club Part 12

Hope you get a good night's sleep tonight, Mel.

On the BFing 'drug' question I had a frustrating experience today (once again). I've had a chesty cough for about a week, which is much worse at night. It's been keeping me awake and last night was the worst yet. I popped into my local Boots to ask what I could take for it, since I am BFing and was told nothing! I questioned this, and they said that as I am BFing I couldn't take any cough medicines and should see my GP to prescribe something (needs rolls eyes smiley). I didn't believe this so went to a Boots a mile down the road where the dishy young pharmacist looked in his little book for me and told me a couple I could take. Just looked on the BF Network page and there are a few on there too. It pees me off so much that some pharmacists seem to take it upon themselves to refuse medicines to BFing women, when in fact they are safe :mad:. Rant over!

Had similar experience today with Boots. Needed something for threadworms (again:mad:) so OH went into Boots who told him only a doctor could perscribe for Maddy, carp!!! I went to Lloyds and bought powders over the counter, much quicker. So all treated in one day. :cool:

TBH, he isn't usually too bad, just doesn't think sometimes and as I am tired, fat, uncomfortable and short tempered atm everything he does/or doesn't do, is winding me up much more than it usually would.

Mel You are far from fat - your 9 months pregnant!, and you have every right to be tired, uncomfortable and short tempered - but it'll be over very soon.

MIL always moans to me that FIL comes in from nights, bounces on the end of the bed while getting undressed, puts tele on, farts loudly etc, to wake her. I would kill OH if he did that, i value my sleep!

V's rash look much better tonight and she's sleeping soundly.

I was on the phone to my Mum earlier, and she asked how V was. I said last night she was a bu^^er, but OH took her out for a drive to get her to sleep, and she slept all night.
When I came off the phone, OH informed me that V had been up at 3.30 screaming and he'd got her up, come downstairs, done a bottle and got her back off to sleep! Unfortunately, I managed to sleep through that one! :rotfl:

Keely Lovely to see you. How is Elliot doing? Is he a proper driving you insane toddler now?

sometimes o find the pharmacy staff in boots quite condescending.

when collected my BP meds yesterday, the pharmacist commented that i was 'very young' to have high blood pressure. and how long had i been taking it? not that it was any of his business....
yes i know i;m young for high BP, yes i have had all the tests, not there is no underlying reason....well apart from needing to lose weight and exercise more.......

Somnium

Just popping by before bed tho am already there watching tv lol.

We got T a sophie on Friday and she loves it, problem is the dog has eyes on it too so we're havin to be real careful where we leave it otherwise if he gets hold of it it'll be in bits before you can blink. He destroyed another of her dummies last night after it escaped from her cot, so she now only has one left!

Krystal - don't think I've offered you my congrats yet, but all the best Hun x

MM - fab pics thanks for sharing

tara - eek at the tan mark, am rubbish at beauty tips so will just hope it sorts it's self out for you.

EA - pleased work came through in the end, fingers crossed you have good news soon.

Jenny - had that with T too and always thought it was sweat.

Mel - men huh! Mine snores like a trooper it's a pita, he also in the not very quiet at coming to bed/getting up club grrr. Hope your lo doesn't keep you waiting around.

can't remember much else atm sorry, hope everyone has a good nights sleep though x

How rude Jillie, none of their damn business!

got-it-spend-it

I'd be peed off if they said that to me Jillie. Surely they should know that high BP can occur at any age. The Boots which gave me the poor advice did exactly the same thing when I hurt my shoulder and said I shouldn't take ibuprofen while BFing. I've just emailed Boots to complain and named the store.

Ok, I'm off to bed for a sulk, then I'm out in the garden tomorrow to try and sort my oopsy out. Night all. XXX

jillie1974

proper peed me off yesterday. like a GP will prescribe the BP meds if i didnt need them.
over the years i've had 3 ECG's, 2 diabetes tests, had to collect my wee for 24hrs and had a kidney scan where the person doing the scan said 'oh, have you had an ovary removed as i can only see one'....not what you want to hear with a bladder about to burst!! but she did see it after pressing really hard on the very full bladder ... imagine what a way to discover you only had 1 ovary.
