Emsy if your lurking are you ok hun? Was reading another thread earlier that t*t was bang out of order, I used to visit the arms quite a lot and I used to enjoy the banter but got fed up of all the ott b!tching, very uncomfortable to read at times. xx

Thought I would give you all a bit of a laugh - this is me teaching a few weeks ago, noticed how well I'm demonstrating how to pull your tummy in!!!

Twoflower, you'll be in my thought tomorrow x

Is it pox season already?! I'm kind of hoping DS will have it before little babs arrives. Thought of a brand new baby getting it scares me.

Twoflower, my thoughts will be with you tomorrow x x

Hello Ladies, Ive noticed some of you mentioning about 16 week appointments with the MW. My MW didnt mention a 16 week appointment so I wonder if it is differenr in different areas?

Worried now incase I'm missing something I should be having.

Also I felt little flutterings last Friday and nothing since. I'm 17 weeks. So worried about that too.

This is a very confusing article about Vitamin A given all we've been told about not taking it!

Am assuming the fact that the mothers were malnourished is the important thing here and that we all have enough vitamin A and too much is what's dangerous?

Krystal - thanks for the tip off! :0

As far as I remember, its a definite set appointment, the 25 week one is first pregnancy only but this one is for blood levels etc - so I would definitely ask about it.

Brilliant photo Catwoman.

Ice - on other websites it seems it is different depending on where you live so some people don't get them. I was given a list with all the appointments i need to book so I am sure they would have mentioned it if you were meant to have one.

Cat, that's a classic photo!! lol...

Ice, did you have a nuchal scan? Our 16w appointment is primarily for the quadruple test... It might be that is missed out for you if you had the nuchal and associated bloods?

Lilian, this is my 3rd and I had a 25w appointment today?

It really does vary from place to place...

No I didnt have a nuchal scan. I do have an appointment next week for bloods for down's screening but thats not with the midwife, just the woman who takes the bloods? So I wont be having anything else checked. I think I might ring them tomorrow and check in case I have missed something.

I have a list of appointments, after 12 week, I had one at 16 weeks only for bloods - nothing else was done, we don't get our notes until 20 weeks when our next appointment is. Then 24 weeks is the next one.
