Morning all,

well well well a quiet night last night hopefully thats a good thing and everyone got lots of sleep. I actually did ok 12-7 sleepage!!

Sorry coops I cant help on the rlt but there are a few taking it so they will prob be able to tell you.

not much to do today oh has gone to work - more overtime. So I am just having my cup of tea then Im going to have a mooch through the job sites for him - hes working about 45-50 hours a week for 5k less than his last job - damn recession!!! really need him to be earning the same or more than his last job to keep us above water this year.

Cup of tea and timmytime (obviously the programme choice is ds's lol although is it wrong that I can understand it now!!!)

Coops,I ended up ordering them in a 29 leg. I'm 5ft 3 and a Half ( can't forget the half lol) so yep I'm a shorty. Normally im a 30 leg.I hate jeans dragging on the ground with a passion.
I'll probably look like my budgie has died!
I was thinking of going into Aberdeen for a look but were going out a drive and a walk in the forest today, I really need jeans asap.

I also have RLT tablets ( thanks to 2 girlsforme
) I was going to start taking just 1 tablet around 34 weeks then move to 2 by 35 weeks, then have the odd cup of the tea also.
I don't think they recommend taking it until your 35 weeks.
I always wondered how effective it was in tea form, but I thought the tablets would work much better.

Teenie, I tried Moray cup for thd first time a few weeks ago. It was yummy. It's my OH that likes fizzy stuff. The cheaper and more garish the colour thd better lol. I'm happy with water and squash. But I have to have Bru with a chippy or when im hungover.

Annibee, we don't seem to watch so much cebeebies anymore as DD thinks she is too old (5) but they both could watch Peppa pig and Ben and Holly all day if I let them. The thing is I don't mind them.I love Nanny Plum lol.

Morning all. Well I am feeling a lot better today - thanks to everyone for cheering me up yesterday and listening to my moans.
DH and I went out for tea with my dad and stepmum last night and the restaurant was a nightmare!! DH and I love this restaurant and we go there quite a lot, for drinks or dinner and never had any problems at all, but it was just really crap service and my main meal (cajun chicken penne pasta) was disgusting. The sauce tasted like it was out of a jar and it was so bland it was unbelieveable. Everyone else really enijoyed theres but I was really disappointed with mine. So today I am going to give them a call and just make the manager aware about our bad experience, was embarrassing because I had been going on about this restaurant to my parents for ages. Hey ho.

Well today we are going to have a lazy day - DH will be watching the footie and I think I will just lounge about and eat lots of rubbish lol. Tomorrow though he has promised to take me to Frankie & Bennies for lunch and we are doing a dummy run to the hospital as DH cant rememeber how to get there. Think we will also get the car valeted and take the carseat to Mothercare to get it fitted. Also have to sort out my hospital bag, with just over 2 weeks to go I havent even looked anything out to pack.lol.

Coops - I bought RLT tablets on Wednesday and I have been taking 2 a day and the strength is 500mg per tablet. Not sure if thats what Im supposed to take but I'm doing it anyway, Have also bought evening primrose oil and taking 2 a day of the as well.lol.

Have a lovely weekend ladies and bumps. Sorry for long post xxx

Morning All

Well last night didnt quite go to plan.......by the time we got there there were no tables free and a big wait, then we decided that by the time we decided on somewhere else, got there and ordered it would be far too late so we decided on a chinese and a movie at home. Stopped off at asda for jam roly poly and custard for pud.

Didnt end up having pud but we'll have that tonight instead.

For saying we have no child this weekend Im not very happy about being up at this hour!! Woke up with heartburn then bubs started raving so sleep just wasnt happening. Oh well, I'll have a nap later lol.

Not much planned for today, currently watching Gok on e4 with a big cuppa tea and just eaten my honey cheerios. Gonna get dressed soon, blitz downstairs and get my hospital bag packed.

35 weeks today yippeeee

Morning Ladies

Oooh had a decent sleep last night, was expecting loads of hearburn after chippy, but no I was fine. I do keep sleeping on my tummy still though and wakening up feeling guilty about squashing bubs LOL. Never woke up 'til 8am and DD has not long woken up!

Sorry you ladies didn't have much luck with your meals out last night. Sharkey if you complain you never know you might get a free meal/money off the next time. Glad you are feeling better today.

Coops someone posted this last week (sorry can't remember who) This was originally posted my Xmaslolly:

I was 32 wks yesterday these are the dosages i work too and what i used last time

Calcium in weeks before labour 1,000mg a day see below with new RDA
Calcium at onset of labour 2,000 mg

EPO 1-2 500mg from week 34 to week 37
3-4 500mg during week 38
Insert 1 capsule each night from week 39

RLT 1 cup from Week 32 to Week 33
2 cups Week 34 to Week 35
3 cups in Week 36
4 cups in week 37 and 38
TOTAL = 6 boxes of 20 tea bags IF YOUR USING TABLETS THE WOMAN IN HOLLAND AND BARRETTS SAYS ONE TABLET = 1 CUP OF TEA

Arnica Cream For application after birth decided on arnica tablets instead see doses below
Arnica Tabs 30c 2 tablets 3 times a day – 3 days before
30c 2 tablets every 2 hours – up to 6 doses
30c 2 tablets 3 times a day – 5 days after

Ive actually got the 60c arnica tabs so i just halve the dosage but i dont think it matters as you can't overdose on it.


28 weeks today

For those looking at hiring tens machines, this site www.maternitytens.com has a special offer on at the moment - any model (including Elle & Mama Tens) for £20 for 6 weeks hire including postage, as long as the order is placed before 20th Feb, regardless of actual due date.

Still debating whether to hire one, and with just over 2 weeks to go I should get a move on! But will be getting it from here if I do go ahead.

digitalphase

Thanks honeypop, I may get one from there. Not due for a while yet, but if you get the offer then it may be worth it. Not sure as my car tax runs out in 2 days and insurance renewal needs sorting :mad:

I had a better night sleep last night - wooo!! Went to bed at 12am after Wife Swap on +1, didn't take as long to get to sleep, maybe an hour, then think I got up for a wee twice (one of which I was sooooo busting it hurt), and then got up for breakfast at 9.30am :T

Going out today with the parentals for a meal, should be a laugh. My mum normally does something to embarass me, yes at 27 my mum still delights in embarrassing me

Hope everyone else has a good day xx

Morning all, im so tired. I had a dream my mum had a baby and decided she didn't want it, i took it and she refused to tell me what she already had for it and kept locking the pram up so i couldn't do anything.

Im 25wks today! Only 15wks left :j
