Hi museumworker and BB, I recognise you from the TTC thread :j

Gin, hope you dont feel too bad after your jab, I had mine done about 2 weeks ago and apart from a sore arm for a couple of days was fine x

I would love to do yoga but dont have anywhere local either I'll just have to make the effort to exercise at home!

Welcome to the new members!

well, my headache is getting worse (not helped by an argument with OH) and I seem to be getting a cough as well. I want to hibernate...

Gin, I suffered with headaches early on and I found those cool and soothe forehead patches really helped

Right, something else to get in Boots then! My headache seems to be moving around. Some days it is at the front, around my forehead, others it is low at the back. And now it is both! Trying to drink more and OH is making me a peppermint tea now.

I didn't have any headaches for the 12 weeks, actually, none since I started the stimulation drugs for IVF, the last ones where on the down regulations, and they were just as bad if not worse than now. I still have some progesterone pessaries left I think, might decide to use them again and see if that was the reason why I didn't get any headaches until I stopped them!

My luck just gets worse, a woman that can't tell the difference between the brake and accelerator has hit my car which is parked outside my house and very probably written it off. Grrrr. I'll have to try and stay calm and leave it to her insurance company. The last thing we need right now!

Welcome to the newbies.

Laura, how annoying! I just got my car back from being repaired after being damaged by someone else but luckily it wasn't anything major. Hope it all gets sorted out without too much stress.

Laura, that is not something you would expect outside your house! I would be very upset and annoyed!

So, the tea didn't help last night. This morning, headache still here, and cough as well, so decided to take a day off and try to rest and recover. My boss probably hates me already, and I don't care anymore - I just want to make sure that the babies are ok. I hope that the rest today will be the answer to my headaches, and if it doesn't improve by the afternoon, I will be calling the midwives team at local hospital asking for advise. I had enough of this....

Have you taken any paracetamol Gin? I did give in in the end with mine and took one. I felt very guilty (even though it is perfectly safe) but it did help. You could try steaming your face, maybe your sinuses are a bit blocked? Dont put anything in the water though.

ginvzt

Yes, paracetamol was by my hand all the time, but it doesn't help, so I didn't take it today. Will try some rest, and steaming might be a good idea. I might take a bath before I go to sleep tonight, maybe it will help me to relax a bit more and sleep better as well.

Never mind, a day on the sofa and in bed will solve all the problems!

Hello ladies,

I don't know why I'm thinking about this when I should be looking at Christmas shopping, but I'm curious to know, does anyone know whether any of the bigger baby things, prams, cots, carseats etc tend to go in the January sales?
