    Hi!
    Back in land of the living after horrendous week with infected wisdom tooth :( had to take amoxicillin which I'm assured is not known to be harmful in pregnancy. I guess the infection could be more harmful than the antibiotics? Anyway they did the trick and its settled right down!

    I'm 13 +3 today and craving marmite! X

    I like both Tallulah and Tahlia.
    I am quite taken with Harper for a girl, I liked Kahlan last time ended up with a Poppy though.

    I always liked Harper until the Beckhams used it. Now it would just seem like copying.

    haven't posted for a while, not sure how that happened! welcome to the newbies. Glad to see TTC40 on here, I remember you from TTC thread.

    I tried pregnancy yoga last week. It was nice to see women from my local area who are pregnant. We did some nice breathing and it wasn't too airy fairy. The breathing exercises are supposed to help during labour. A few good stretches. The next closest to me was 28 weeks so I was there with my muffin top and everyone else had huge bumps! I was just thinking that I'm not very pregnant at all! 16+2

    I'd love to try pregnancy yoga but don't think there's one near me. I have a membership to a leisure centre though so hopefully I'll start going swimming a bit more regularly again (used to go a lot, after work, but got put on the back burner cos I have felt so nauseous in the evenings for the last few months!)

    Anyone else been swimming? Does it feel any different?? is that a stupid question? I'm nervous!

    Thought I was feeling better finally and then yesterday evening felt SO tired and queasy again, I couldn't even eat my dinner! But there is an upside to leaving your dinner - cold sausage sandwiches today!! hehe!

    I'm on amoxicillin just now for a UTI, and also been assured they are safe to take during pregnancy. If only they didn't give me horrendous thrush but that's another story lol.

    I like swimming but I only feel comfortable with my OH standing behind me as I get in and out of the pool. I am just scared of missing a step and falling in. When I go I use a float and kick my legs - no froggy legs.

    This poor child of mine has been exposed to more medication than i would like to admit!

    First buccastem then cetrazine for hyperemesis which thankfully seems to have worn off, 3 weeks ago i had a virus which put me in bed for two days so took paracetamol for that, then from thurs-sun have been in bed with the most horrendous throat and ear infection I've ever had, which meant for three days i ate nothing but codeine, amoxicillin and tyrozets. All of which i was told were considered ok during pregnancy but still.... I would honestly sooner give birth to ds2 again than go through another infection like that, and given that the birth of ds2 ended with my backside becoming as one with my front, that's saying something!

    On a brighter note going to get myself some nice strechy clothes and treat myself to some summery sandals now the weather seems to be picking up a little!

    Hey Girls, I need your opinions....
    I have been invited ten-pin bowling for a co-workers leaving do. I like the person alot and in a small team it looks kinda stingy not to attend these sorts of things. What would you do? Is bowling safe at 24 weeks? Ive not bowled for years but did enjoy it when I have been before. Do you think I would be ok just using a lighter ball and taking it slow and gentle or should I just sit like a lemon on the sidelines and not join in?
    If at first you dont succeed, try, try again
