i found the nhs book they give you at the midwife apointment really good, and also (some places dont hand it out anymore like our midwives because it promotes bottle feeding) emma's diary was good. I wanted dr browns book, but never did mange to find it when i was pregnant with dd2.

for your OH how about the haynes manual, its entetaining but informative, my DH has the attention span of a goldfish but he managed to read it.

The NHS one is good as is the free one from Tommys

My Scan is Friday very excited

Had a scare today, my nephew who I see every Wednesday has Slapcheek. To say that my doctors and midwife were pretty vague on what I should do would be generous! But had got them to give me a blood test to ensure I am immune.

Thanks Glimmer for the link, and the slapcheek thing reminds me, at school alot of the kids are getting chicken pox at the moment, does anyone know if i need to have some sort of vaxine or if i catch them there safe? i know last year there was a big measles scare because of the low imunisation rate here but it turned out to be chicken pox and the mother had reported the wrong illness.

If you had them already it is not to be worried about.. it is only if you catch them if poses a risk to baby.

If you are not immune you can be given an injection of gamma globulin I think it is which protects you for a while.. There is a vaciine but I dont think it can be given during pregnancy..

Evening ladies. Well pleased to report the scan went well! Baby measured at 11+3 and I thought 11+2 so was nearly right! They gave me a due date of 27th April. I thin baby was probably asleep as wasn't moving and had its hands in its mouth! So nice to see the heart beating away.

I have an appointment next monday to see the underactive thyroid specialist then another for an extra (internal) scan at 16 weeks to check my cervix as I had some treatment last year after a smear came back showing some pre-cancerous cells. They will do my routine 16 week checks at the same time to save me having to go to the midwife too. I also have my appointment for my 20 week scan and they've managed to give me all ones that fit in well around both mine and DH's shifts!!!
