Hello ladies and bumps!

I had the worst nightmare ever today. In it I was going to a scan and when I got there they cut me open and took the baby and tried to resuscitate it. Then I just got up and I had no scar or blood or anything from where they'd cut me. And I went to the resuscitation room and they said 'Sorry' and just wheeled the dead bubs away. Then I typed some comments on a keyboard and they came up on a screen in the room (random I know). And the nurse was like 'okay dear? you can go now.' and she was just smiling like a loon. I then called OH and explained what had happened but he wouldn't talk to me because he was at work! It was horrible. So at 5.36am I was pacing the corridor trying to calm down after the panic I woke in.

Anyway, onto better news, I have managed to get a job interview for saturday, which is good as there are only 100 jobs around here on jobcentre plus and most of them are specific for accountants or web developers so I was pleased to get an interview, even if it is for Primark. Better than nothing So hope that'll go okay.

MV - Ooohh sounds like things are starting to move along for you! So exciting!

Im nearly 16 weeks and have put on about 5/6 lb is that normal in such a short space of time? I know you shouldnt obsess about these things but does anyone have the actual guidelines for each stage , my book just has an end figure of how much you shouldve put on and what it splits up as i.e baby, water , fat, .....

They use a different flu strain every year, depending on what is around at the time, the fact that it's swine flu this year doesn't really make a difference TBH, it's a flu the same as any other.

It's not the vaccine that passes to the baby, it's the antibodies that your body makes as a result of having the vaccine that the baby then gets.

Ah thanks GL I'm starting to be converted, I think I'll chat with the midwife on Monday at my appointment.
I hate the DM I only go on for the celeb gossip more MSE than a magazine but they always catch me with a story I don't want to read, just read one about a toddler catching swine flu and not making it, urging people with little ones to pay to get them vaccinated, I'm tempted to get DD done now.

Pixie :eek::eek: poor you what a terrible dream!

Thanks for clearing that up Garnet, I wondered about that too and just presumed she meant when i was breastfeeding.

((hugs)) to those feeling weepy today, just let it all out.

Well just back from shopping and it was much more successful and relaxed than last night tip to self TAKE YOUR TIME and don't try and rush round in a panic and leave DD behind:D. Had very little pain and actually quite enjoyed it, dear me my life has become so sad I need a night out LOL!!!

Flipping MATB1 form still hasn't arrived, I seen MW last Thursday and she said she would send it out, it surely doesn't take a week to post! will have to phone her tomorrow so at least I can get that bit done and dusted with work.

Wendz I would have hit him with a big stick LOL Like Annibee said you are a better woman than me!!!
