Moneyhoney Re Anti -D I had both of mine in the bum area although it was more the fleshy love handle bit really. The first time didnt bother me at all, stung a little bit but not much. The 2nd one I had was done by a different midwife and in the same place again but ohh my god it hurt so much I actually made a wimpish yelp! Couldnt believe it hurt so much compared to the 1st one. But never hurt for too long afterwards was just the initial injection actually being done.

Thanks for anyone who had a looksie for rubber rings - I bought one on ebay in the end for £2.95 delivered so happy with that - hopefully wont need it !

Finished panicing about getting a cold, but still dont feel right in myself today. Didnt get out of bed until midday and have just sat on the sofa all day, very unlike me. I feel a bit strange - bit shakey in my arms and in the chest. Putting it down to having a panic about getting a cold and working myself up a bit. BUT I know some women feel a bit icky pre labour - Now its so close to 2012 I want to hold out at least a few more days!

I've been giving myself Fragolin heparin injections twice a day now for a week. It wasnt too bad for the first few days, but for some reason, its now really starting to sting when i do it. Wierdly, my left leg stings more than my right. I hope its just a blip, as i'm apparently going to have to do them for 6 weeks after bean arrives- if she happened to go 2 weeks over :eek:, thats 8 weeks more of doing these..:(

Oooh so excited, arrived home from inlaws to find our neighbours had taken this in today, my extremely lovely best friend ordered it for us :happyhear I honestly feel so lucky and spoilt well my baby is spoilt.



Not got it up and running yet as we don't have the batteries.

Wow Gilly, I love it! I remember you posting a picture of it before I think, when you found out your friend was going to buy it for you.

I've spent the evening leaning over my gym ball, after finally managing to find a comfortable position that doesn't squish my boobs too much! think I need to go lie down though, despite the high-ish bp reading earlier, I've been feeling very lightheaded and I don't really know why...

Gillyx

I love it too, it's just so damn cute, impossible to keep clean though Went to Tesco earlier with OH's mum and she insisted on paying for our shopping too :mad: drives me crazy. OH is in the bad books though, I had such a nice night planned for us tomorrow, since we won't be going anywhere, and he responded with "what? No just make me whatever for dinner, I'm going to be studying all night after I get home from work" I'm so upset and annoyed

Oh those gym balls are so uncomfortable, I hate sitting on mine, may try the leaning over position.

Just a quick question for you ladies, just wondered about your opinion. Sorry if its a bit rambly.
Anyway, having a chat with DH about the whole childcare/working thing, and at the mo, i'm hoping to go back 4 days a week after mat leave (not the kind of job that will work less than 4 days or as job share).
Question is around the finance of this. It looks like the salary cut i will take to go 4 days, is roughly the same as the cost of the childcare will be. If we say my "contribution" will be the childcare on the one day, and my drop in salary, along with all the dropping off and picking up from childcare, do you think it is a fair balance for DH to pay the childcare itself? I know being a family unit, his money is mine and vice versa, but i have liabilities from my previous relationship (grr KH ex) i'm still paying off, and need the ability to pay, and i dont like the idea of money from him directly going to pay off KH debts. DH does earn probably £20k more than i do....
What do you think?

Gillyx

If your OH is happy with that Kira, I think that's fine. Especially if he's earning more, plus you don't want to be left with nothing either. So I'd say if that's a compromise and it will leave you both with a reasonable amount of "spending" (not sure what else to call it) money each a month, it seems sensible to me.

Well, losing the one day will mean that i have enough to cover my liabilities, with a very small surplus for "spends", but without struggling. If i had to cover the childcare too, then it would be very very tight, and no spends at all for me.
DH currently manages to end the month with probably upwards of £700 left over after spends. I manage £200 if i am very lucky.
I think DH is probably OK with it- he does say he sees his money as my money (which is nice), so it makes less difference to him how it is split cos in his eyes its the same, but i'm never really comfortable asking him to give me money to pay for things, which i would need to do if i physically paid the childcare and took the salary hit.
Am sure it will all work out....
