Hello everyone

I am currently in the TTC thread but just wanted a bit of skin care advice please.

I have just bought the Clinique Anti-Blemish 3 step system and have been assured that it is safe to use when I do get pregnant. Have any of you used this or other products for fighting spots during your pregnancy? I'm probably being over cautious but its best to check!

Thank you

Hiya, i read a bit about it when i was early days, and they advised using products that are as natural as possible, without all the "active ingredients, acids, peels, etc". Partly as small quantities can get through to beanies, but also your skin will change alot, and it may well irritate it. I think i saw you say on the TTC thread, that yours had salisylic(sp) acid? Personally, i would avoid that.

Good luck!

Congratulations Caelshorn!! :j
Labour vibes to the boldies!!

Happy days that you had an easier weekend JCR. And now you are on the last few days!! How exciting!

Pigpen, sorry you're having a stressful time with the OH. Men have the worse timing don't they? Hope there is a silver lining somewhere.

I'm starting to get nervous about the labour/birth now. (Am 34 weeks). Was feeling very confident as had a quick labour with DD and am trying to do hypnobirthing - but i'm not getting enough practice in with the breathing and relaxation so far, to feel confident yet. Not so worried about the labour part, just the birth! *sigh*
My maternity leave starts 2 weeks before due date. and 3 weeks holidays before that. If baba comes early then maternity leave starts automatically and i would have the hassle of trying to carry my holidays over to next year.

Hello to all the newbies that popped up this weekend!

My skin is completely different now as before pregnancy. Cheaper moisturisers feel greasy now, and some makeup reacts different.

Alison, you'll be fine. I'm nervous about labour as well- not from pain, I think, just I don't know what to expect.

I've just had a thought- the entire way through my pregnancy so far, I've been eating very hot curries, have been DTD'ing , eating lots of pineapple- basically, everything that's supposed to bring on labour! My labour will probably be bought on by a piece of dry bread!

My life fell apart this weekend. OH moved out a while ago, but hes been coming home at weekends. He has been moaning about me wanting kisses and cuddles when he is here so this weekend i thought i would leave it until he came and gave me a cuddle. Anyway, he didnt. I ignored that little voice in my head wanting to ask him about it and we went sleep. Got up Sunday morning, Not sure what possessed me but i decided to check his mobile. Big mistake. There are texts to another girl on there (the kinky sort) she believes he is single (Although he has never told her he is, but neither has he corrected her) I know nothing has happened between them (She lives 400 miles away) but im gutted. Told him to go, told him why, he denied it at first, made it out like i was imagining things. Eventually confssed he had sent messages but said they "werent real" - Hormones are clearly all over the place, Half of me wants to tell him to take a run and jump, other half wants to sort things. (Its not the first time he has sent messages either) :(

Got the lasses number - shes denying everything lol even told me i had the wrong number lol

Someone give me a slap

Will catch up reading weekends posts later - I hope your all ok - Trying to stop myself from raiding the biscuit tin

Thanks everyone. Hopefully see you over here soon! x

Mimi -sorry to hear about you and OH <<<HUGS>>> I don't want to tell you what to do but I definitely think it sounds like he's not going to be fully committed to sorting things out with you but if you do want to get back together, you need to have a serious talk with him about what he wants from life at the moment. xx

We think she may have been milking it a bit though - sits at the top/bottom of the stairs waiting for one of us to carry her but as soon as there's a visitor, she's full of beans again..... Little madam!!

xDx

:rotfl::rotfl:Bless. See I told my OH that our cat was milking it for everything when she had to have an operation last year. His response was "dont be so stupid shes a cat!".
I knew I was right
Glad she is ok though!

Mimi - I am so sorry to hear about your OH, what a swine! I dont even know what to say, just please make sure you look after yourself xxx

Oh Mimi I hope things take a turn for the better soon. Sometimes the uncertainty is the worst thng, it's better to be on your own and know it than to have someone mess you about and keep you in limbo. Sounds to me like the not wanting hugs and kisses is the guilt coming out (which at least means he knows he's wrong).

You will need to have a big talk with him, but give yourself some space to get your head together first. Make it clear you aren't going to hang around and wait for him to get it out of his system, you are too good to be anyone's plan B, and if it isn't you and your family he wants, then you don't need him either.

Make it clear your life will go on whether he's in it or not. That might shock him.

Pigpen you better be listening too!

Think talks are needed all round on here this week

pigpen

We dont do talking.
