I must be really mean - I just keep kicking OH until he wakes up.

:rotfl: i'm in the kicking club too, amazing how he can not her lo crying but a car door outside sends him curtain twitching............

susan i had hyperemesis with this pregnancy, was in hospital 3 times being rehydrated, i remember the doctor happily informing me i would feel loads better by 12-14 weeks, i just looked at him and growled that i was 16 weeks already, so sometimes they obviously have no idea whats going on!! but i was fine with my first pregnancy, wonder if it was cos it was a boy??

michelle, i'm jealous of your bargain playmat, i thought i did well with getting one for £16.20, now it just seems rubbish!!!

jillie, your oh sounds like mine, he'll jog off to golf at 8 saturday morning saying he'll be back soon then roll in at 8 at night saying he's just stopped for a few drinks and doesn't seem to grasp the fact that the whole day is over, and sat is when we tend to do things as sunday i see more as a job/ironing etc day

Does anyone know roughly how long Approved Foods order take to come? I placed one on Friday, but can't remember how many days it took last time I did one. I know they left it at some random man on my street's house, because I was hugely pregnant and had to get him to carry it home for me.

I think there was a study done in Sweden where they found that 53% of those admitted to hospital with HG had girls so it's slightly more likely with girls.

Did anyone else's rugrat go through a ridiculously impossible stage when learning to stand?? :eek:

I know it's just frustration on her part but i'm getting fed up of the whining!! Wants to be up, wants to be down, wants to crawl, wants t stand, wants to kneel, doesn't know what she wants so she'll just WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH WAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

I don't handle kids crying very well, makes me :mad: :eek: lol!

edit - and because of the above my decorating has been paused for 2 days! I wanted it finished by now but am not even halfway there

Have just signed up 4 baby massage - 4 week course at local children centre - first class is on Wed really looking forward to it.

Michelle yeah for e-bay bargain and joining the roly poly club.

CAFC - honestly we all worry about something - highlights for me so far are A not putting on enough weight, not doing a poo for a week and the latest since I went out the other night and she had two bottles she won't feed properly she keeps crying and not latching on properly.

All the bf out there have I given her nipple confusion? Shes hungry but the minute I put her near the nipple for a feed she screams eventually she does take it and once latched on she feeds lovely, previously she always latched straight on no problems.

Thanks all....

Its not so much that L cant do these things (and Im not expecting him to be doing ALL of them- they were just examples).... its more me....
I dont think I'm supporting him enough to give him to opportunity to learn to do these things....i dont know if that makes sense, but he goes from his swing for naps to his play pen to kick about when i need the loo or to do stuff, and then some time in his rocker chair with activity bar, and then laps for feeds....
I just feel like I should be doing more (not him so much), but i dont really know how to entertain him or introduce anything new to him...
its probably not making much sense, but im more just phished at myself...

When Alice was that age, in the little time she wasn't being fed etc. or having a nap I deliberately made sure I wasn't doing stuff with her all the time because I didn't want her to end up expecting me to be always doing stuff directly with her. Obviously I did stuff with her some of the time but I also used to put her in the bouncy chair (or bumbo or high chair as she got a bit older) with a toy to watch while I was doing things and would just talk to her about what I was doing.

Im north west- Mam is def a mancunian word.

My MIL always signs her cards to us Mam..

Poo night last night just to follow a pooey weekend. William awake 6 times and decided that 3am :eek:was a good time to stand up in his cot banging the wall (reminder to lower cot again!) so brought him into our bed where OH eventually settled him only for Henry to wake up crying for OH and going mental every time I even touched him. Cue me on the sofa from 3.30am and them 3 in the bed! Just great when I have stinking cold and cough:mad:

Henry was playing up all day and wouldnt have a nap... Took him to park to play with model boat and he didnt want to (despite going on about it for the whole week), messed about when my parents were round for dinner and ended up being sent to his room plus kicking me in the face. Saturday was just as bad even though we went out for the day as it was Open House in London (lots of buildings you can go in for free) plus train rides....dont know what is wrong with him lately...

Still good news is William can not only stand up but take a couple of steps along the sofa as well (holding on) - walking here we come!!

And I missed out on xmas pressie on Ebay for OH by a £1...

Rant over - cheers

Possibly she's realised it's easier to get milk from a bottle? But sometimes they seem to just be randomly funny about things.

I suspect I may have worked out the cause of my hyperemesis in pregnancy: piriton. With Alice I was given piriton at 5 1/2 weeks and within a week I had lost a stone and was in hospital on a drip. I did feel nauseous before the piriton and had been sick once before having the piriton and the leaflet didn't say anything about that kind of thing so I hadno reason to suspect it. Fast forward to next pregnancy and I buy a packet of piriton to save having to go to the doctors. When I read the leaflet, it mentions that it can cause all sorts of things including a number of things I suffered from throughout my pregnancy (such as drowsiness, nausea, vomitting and lack of appetite). The leaflet is definitely different as the ones I had before said you shouldn't take it when breastfeeding because it can affect milk supply whereas this one just has the standard "Consult your Dr/pharmacist." and I am sure it didn't say about those side effects before (except for drowsiness but I knew about that already). Given the apparent correlation I didn't dare start taking them in case it was the piriton so I carried on with what I normally have. Then on Thursday, I said to OH, "Since I'm not pregnant I should try the piriton now to see what effect it has". I've only taken one a day but since Saturday morning I have been feeling really sick and have been really struggling to eat. It does mean I don't feel as worried about being ill in future pregnancies (I did wonder whether I wasn't ill in the recent one because something was wrong) but I'm feeling very :mad: that nobody (i.e. Doctors/midwife) considered that as a possible cause when really if they are knowledgable about these medicines (which they should be) it should have been an obvious potential cause and could then have been resolved.

:grouphug:

Hugs for you. How annoying and horrible

I think it's quite common for a GP consult (or any medical consultation) to swiftly assume the most obvious cause of the symptoms. (Not that I'm saying this is right, I agree with you that it's very wrong) My brother's year of medicine was the first year at his medical school taught that looking beyond the obvious is the mark of excellence, and he is 34, so it is taking a LONG time for attitudes to shift in the whole profession.
