SS - hugs, some people just don't want to understand.

Yuck - I've just coated my tongue in a baking powder paste as I've had an ulcer on it for a couple of days that's really sore, it tastes awful. It has helped ease the pain though so I might actually be able to eat something.

Grrrrrrrr I'm on our local expat forum and there is a woman posting, I know her in the real world and she is a cluckwit. She is saying how she can't understand how any woman would ever have an elective C-section or an induction for any reason other than a medical one, because babies shouldn't have to fit in with their parents' schedules.

I'm pointing out that she doesn't know her backside from a large avocado, but I'm quite upset by her.

She sounds like a sanctimonious prat :eek:

Really, does she know what it's like to organise children and get to the hospital at (potentially) 3am on a school night? I'm dreading it and if someone offered me a cast iron guarantee of a date/time I'd be much happier, or we're going to be driving the kids around half the night whilst I'm in pain

SS, has she been pregnant?

Susan is it Alice that has peter rabbit theme as Tesco have the big ones at £2.50

SugarSpun

Yes, Tia, she has one kid (who was flaming well induced! but she had a leak in her amniotic fluid). I want her head on a stick to parade through the city and wave in the face of all the stupid people. My minion has severely !!!!!! me off today too. Hmph.

Aw Jillie, I'm sorry It'll be ok though xxx

Kindof I took pregnacare all the way through my pg but A wasn't that big - 7lb 5oz

Thanks for opinions on food / sleep. I find it intersting what works, and what doesn't work, for others

I hate those conjunctivitus eye drops. I used mine once and never did it again!! Paid £7 for them :mad: I find it goes away itself if you just leave it, though how I don't spread it to everyone is beyond me because Keira has most deffo slept on same pillow as me, I'm always picking the goo out my eyes etc. I don't think its as contagious as the opticians say. I know I've had it in one eye, picked goo (yes im minging but it feels yak!) and then accidentally had a feel in my other eye with the same finger and it's not transferred.

SS - That woman sounds like a douche - not an avacado, those are nice.

Snacks for Rhys - Scrambled egg? Fruit? Pancake?

You know I can't even think! I don't think I gave Keira much in the way of snacks as she has never been a big muncher. She used to get milk in the morning and some cereal, lunch was half a jar of baby food and milk (I did sometimes make stuff ,honest!) and then she got half a jar with her dinner and milk, and another milk before bed, and that went on like that for ages, and she got the occasional chunks of fruit/raisins/breadsticks/toast/biscotti/cheese throughout the day if she was hungry.

I always thought a whole jar was a lot because she always refused after half! :rotfl:

I only took folic acid for about 2 weeks - oops! I didn't know I was pregnant until about 6/7 weeks and was highly ignorant of everything.

Midwife always measured me bigger than my weeks and I remember the week before I had Keira she said "Oh this is going to be a big baby" Im guessing about 10lbs. I was like "Yeah okay then" - I didn't even care because I was of the impression it wouldn't even hurt :cool:

Keira was 7lbs 10oz, and my midwife seen me in hospital and asked and I told her and she said "aw I was sure she'd be big" I was like, nope I was just fat!

jillie1974

am sad that my ML has come to an end and i'm looking forward to going back to work and i'm a bit nervous as i;m going to a store where i know some people but not all. and crapping myself at the same time that i'm leaving Kian for such a long time. but its only 3 days a week and i need to go back to work before i go nuts. and my brain forgets how to do things.

if any of that makes sense???
