  • Bruno - I was the same towards the end of my pregnancy too! I'm with Weezl - a quick puff when I could feel it coming on helped to prevent it developing into something bigger (apart from the one night I ended up in A&E on a nebulizer until 5 in the morning)

    Luckily with the exception of 1 chest infection picked up a few weeks after birth, my asthma as return to how I was pre-pregnancy. Fingers crossed the same will happen for Mrs B too!

    Gisi - your making dust pan and brush sets????

    Delain
    - glad to here you feeling better too!

    The BP forums are so dull, I'm afraid I have taken to stalking MSE members just to do my 10 inane posts for the day!

    Bruno I hope so :rotfl:

    OH says I should go to the docs but I'm seeing the emergency consultant on Monday anyway, and I'm sure MS doesn't cause puking.

    Don't envy your mrs with the athsma.

    Big boy bed is going quite well for us... sounds like a nightmare for you!! :( As long as it's around his regular bedtime, he is no worse than he was in the cot - I usually have to go in a few times to re-settle still, which is not great, but that's not a function of the big boy bed. He almost always stands up in it and calls for me, rather than getting out and roaming. I have no good advice for you though, just sympathy :/ ugh.
    We've only recently managed to teach Alice that if she shouts for us and doesn't get any response she should come and find us rather than staying in bed and crying.

    Mrs B is over her UTI thanks to the anti-b's or so we believe; however seems to be combining the shortness of breath from third trimester big baby, and more asthma than usual... so the last few nights she's had to get up and use inhaler, in the evenings she's just been on the sofa gasping... :/ we see midwife on Monday but don't suppose there is any very useful advice. Going out to buy new duvets and pillows today in case anything there is causing the extra asthma.
    I don't know if this is any encouragement but I had such shortness of breath that I struggled even to read aloud when pregnant with Alice and it went away completely when she was born. (And I've never had any asthma.)

    a little puff nipped it in the bud.

    <--- is feeling silly today :D

    When I Chris dropped off at nursery today, I felt a little emotional pang as he ran off without so much as a "smell ya later" :( but no tears.
    I'm 99% proud of my confident happy chappy and 1% sad that he's grown up and doesn't need me so much.
    He was fine yesterday, apparently he had to be told off for fighting in the morning :o but was a star the rest of the time, showed off his wicked reading skills, painted me a picture (well he covered an A3 sheet in brown paint with a dash of orange lol) and he said he stuck his tongue out at some girls in the wendy house and they tried to catch it and take it out of his mouth:rotfl:
    When I went to pick him up he ran to me and gave me a big hug around the legs and said he'd missed me tho :A oh and he made a friend called Jack :)
    oh oh and we got his bookstart treasure chest which has some lovely books and a box of crayola pencils, woo freebies!
