    No fooling my OH - He's done all this before!

    Got mad cat curled up next to me, the last few days it seems to have developed a love of the kitchen, as soon as you open a cupboard, or the washer or dryer he's in it. Woke up the other day to him being in the slow cooker :o

    We were meant to be going out but now I'm pee'd off as agency haven't rung back yet and I'd worry about missing them if we went out :(

    PP how come you ended up with 3 coats in 11-12 and then forgot about them? lol.

    Glad all is ok Mancbird.. Ask them about an iron infusion rather than the tablets.. it takes about 6+ weeks for iron tablets to have any kind of effect and late in pregnancy they rarely do anyway... and take vit C when you take them it helps with absorption.

    You'll have to tell me what your ebay username is :rotfl: I forget to post things, that's my problem or I'd do ebay more.

    Mind you when we eventually move there'll be loads of stuff to go.

    P.s. hope you get the house delain! Fingers crossed for you :)

    Lirin, it sounds like we've had a similar last few days! Hope you are feeling much better :)

    Ecoelle, I know what you mean (sort of) about not having people in RL to ask questions. My family and a lot of my close friends are all 60 miles away so I can't really ask them except on the phone (and my mam and sister (who I ask mostly) are both on holiday at the moment). My friends here either don't have babies or are quite a bit older so a lot of things have changed since their babies were born so I can't really ask them either, which is why I love this thread :)

    Hope everyone else is well today :) xxx

    Morning ladies and bumps,

    Ok, getting slightly scared now, i'm 7th on the list!

    Just had a quick look at the hospital online tour and it looks good, i've copied the link for anyone who is interested in taking a peak and would be grateful for anyone's opinions of how it compares to their local hospital. They no longer do personal tours of the unit due to the length of time it means having nurses off the ward, but the online tour seems quite good from what i can tell.

    Had a right ol' night of it last night, pains like a cross between period pains and the tummy ache you get when you have diawoowoo

    Started about 2am and went on for half an hour or so, then started again at about 6am for another half an hour. Braxton hicks?

    Hi Ecolle,
    I've put a link in to the hospital I'm using. It has lots of links with useful info on it: opening hours, facilities, what to bring, etc. The Derby one seemd a little short of info, but maybe i didn't look in the right place! At least you can use it to compare with.

    http://www.setrust.hscni.net/ucht%20services/Maternity%20Services.html

    A week before my DD arrived, i was woken every morning with mild period pains that lasted about 30 minutes or so. The day labour started they lasted a few hours, and were a bit sorer, then disappeared to return a few hours later, and that was my labour beginning. Most of my labour felt like period pains, just more regular and increasing in intensity.:) Maybe things will begin to happen for you this week Ecolle!

    Glad you got checked out Mancbird. Don't know if breech is unusual at this stage, but there is still time for baby to turn. I can't work out which way round bump is, think it's head down, but tbh, very hard to tell.

    *edit* Found a link to a leaflet on breech presentation on the Ulster Hospital website: it might be useful.

    Welcome to all the new bumps on the forum! :T

    LAST WEEK IN WORK, WOOHOO :j

  • Glad everything is ok Mancbird :)

    Delain - could you go out in the direction of the agency and just pop in as you're passing?

    Pigpen - are they boys or girls coats? I'm after a black coat for DS in that size...?

    I like that idea, but the kids would probably give me away as the agency's office is over 5 miles from my house :o

    Depends what the bribe is!

    Mind you getting there would take hours on the bus so I'll stick to phoning lol.
