I'm just bored of drinking it - need to up it to 3 or 4 cups a day now, but its such a chore to drink it.

Try the capsules. I got some form Holland and Barrett, think they cost about £7.

I take 1 3 times a day, and am going to up the dose from tomorrow I think to 2 3 times a day. The tea does get a bit yuck after a while.

Big congrats Little Princess :j

Thanks Krystaltips. :A

Suprisingly they are really excited, my daughter says that she only wants a sister though as she already has too many brothers. :rotfl:

lol! - my DS says he only wants a brother (he was hoping we were getting a dog when I announced I had exciting news so think he has now managed to mask his disapointment )

My DD is so excited she says she doesn't mind but I think she is secretly hoping for a little sister.

We were talking about getting a puppy just before I found out I was pregnant but I don't think they are too disappointed. :rotfl:

Congrats Little Princess and welcome BCS.

I think I'm having a paranoid mummy-to-be moment... I'm worried I'm not feeling her kick and move as much. I keep telling myself she's probably just spine up again and I'm now much more active and less likely to feel it, coupled with the anterior placenta and only being 18+3, but it's not really working. So am I worried over nothing?

On a happier note, my mum ordered a moses basket for us last night. Lola's Garden one, very pretty. One from Next is going back, was just a bit too plain for me.

Very pleased to meet you. :A

I think its quite natural to feel anxious tbh I won't feel content until I have my scan & see my baby is ok.

Sharkey if you find a cot/cot bed you like then you could always just get a matching tall boy or something similar to save space... It would probably work out cheaper and last longer... We have an Ikea chest of drawers because the argos ones that came with the nursery set just completely fell apart... I do still have the wardrobe and cotbed, but the room is a double sized one and houses 2 children so I need all the storage I can get!

Thanks everyone. I'll see how I get on tonight. I've had a cold drink and I might have to do some coughing as well, that was what used to set her off!

Alamaya, what was that you were saying about our troublesome girls again? I'm going to be completely grey by the time I give birth at this rate.

You could try lying on your back for a bit Garnetlady if it's not too uncomfortable - it used to do the trick for me - worth a go maybe

Hello to repet everyone else its normal to feel emotional all through pregnancy - and probably a few weeks after too ah the joys lol.

Where are you based is there any shops nearby you could just go for a walk around every few days just to get yourself out and about?

I too have my family v far Im in essex and my mum is in scotland!!!
We have skype now so we chat on there occasionally.

Apart from that I moved 220 miles 2 years ago so i dont know anyone in or near my area either! have a look on netmums.com they do a few meet a mum's if you would be interested - Im a little too nervous for that so I get my social fix from here at the moment (hmmm maybe that makes me sound a bit sad!)

and worrying about the labour is normal too I was Miss panic a lot last time I havent got worried about it yet but Im sure I will. You wont panic when your in labour trust me youll be too busy to worry lol. :cool:

where in essex are you from?

We have qualified for the HiP grant - thanks to EVERYONE on here who put my mind at rest on that. I have ordered this cot which will be arriving tomorrow:

Good old Mothercare eh..;)

Mit3 I seem to have 'run out' of belly button! There wasn't enough to pop out, if that makes sense?!

Me too MV

Welcome Katrina :j

Alamaya - my DH doesn't touch my tummy or waist any more. He did a couple of times, but doesn't like it at all. I had to pester it out of him, and he admitted that it doesn't look or feel like my tummy any more, which he doesn't like, and he finds the movements really odd (and slightly freaky). I am disappointed that we don't have the apparent 'closeness' that touching the tummy is supposed to bring, but he makes up for it in many other ways, so I don't think we've really lost anything. It may be that your OH is the same and he just finds it odd that it doesn't look or feel like your tummy any more.

Congrats Little-Princess - she's gorgeous :T

Although you have just put me at 20th on the list as we're sooo not ready.

Welcome BCSB :j

I forgot to ask the MW about RLT, so I might just start taking it anyway as my fibroids weren't too big and it's still only suspected endometriosis.

I was a good appointment though. She said I was looking really well and was glowing :j never thought I'd reach that stage.

Had my final blood test (with hysterics). But it's my final one. woop woop

Baby is head down and 1/5 engaged, which is roughly how I thought he'd be from recent movements.

Just 3 more days at work to get everything tify and handed over. Am eyeing up potential candidates for my nastier projects

Sorry for the long ramble.
