Thanks Ikkle, I just go into panic mode at the thought of anything going wrong. I am obsessive about washing my hands anyway, so that shouldn't be too hard. I made the mistake of googling, and ended up in a big panic

Glad your temperature went down, hope you're feeling completely better soon. It sounds like you got some good bargains today, I always love the smowsuits. Our Asda only had really ugly luminous ladies tops and loads of bras in the sale, no baby stuff at all.

hey ladies

hope we are all feeling relatively well in our pregnancy bodies - remember its only 9 months lol

Mrs Bryan - congratulations teddy is a really cute name

Vic_rich - welcome and i hope you dont have so many dramas in the rest of your pregnancy.

ok so i saw my midwife today who explained although my ferratin levels have not increased my Hb and MVC have which are indications of irons levels as well. so she is happy things are increasing so i just have to continue on my iron supplments till end of pregnancy.

35+1 today - baby is still in headdown position, the bony thing i have been feeling under my boobs must be bumb then. she said i have had a little bit of growth spurt as measursing 35cm today. this plots on 90th centile line on the chart - if this continues i should have a reasonably big baby, i am pleased about this, dont know why lol

i was looking at the growth chart and there is a weight based on scan line which if i correspond it to where fundal height and gestation are would make baby out to weigh 6 pound 10. not sure if this is accurate at all, will ask my midwife when i see her next.

a tip i read in supernanny book - use a muslin cloth and wrap around mattress in moses basket where babys head would position. so dribbles/sick go onto muslin, so you have to just wash muslin rather than bedding. ( i hope i have made some sense)

birth plan is done and stuck in notes, the midwife had a few queries over it, she is trying to convince me to have a student midwife present but i read in books its better to have the least amount of people present at the birth as possible which i will stick to.

daisy birthing class was great yesterday:)

wishing you all a good nights sleep, it is pretty humid here!

Katy I'm normally the same hun and panic about everything - never google it's the worst thing you can do.

Feel lots better, might even manage to eat some tea Our Asda had everything out in the trolley shed things lol which was a bit weird.

Hi all, hope everyone is OK. Welcome newbies and congrats on the babies.

Haven't had a very nice week so far as my nan passed away on Sunday night. It is very sad although nice to know that she isn't in pain anymore. The funeral is next Friday so we are all focusing on that now.

Have got the midwife on Thursday i think for more blood tests and then finish work next Thursday so will then be able to relax a bit more from then. Have been very uncomfortable today and yesterday, bump very hard and keep getting kicked in the foof too, although it is distracting me.

Sorry to bring the thread down, I hope everyone else got to enjoy a bit of sunshine today

Thanks for the warm welcome ladies :-)
Carnt quote who mentioned about having a supportive family,
So I apologise but yes I most certainly wouldn't have got though the
Last few months with out them,

Anyway on a positive note we have all our nuseary stuff bought on a very strick Mse budget all 2nd hand! It's amazing the bargains you can get at carboots nct sales & eBay!
Picked up a swinging crib for £15 at a nct sale the babies r us Winnie the pooh one!

Can I ask is their any one on here who is a carer for a family member, just I am for my father & unsure when to let the benefit people know,

I've had some amazingly werid cravings but the main one is twiglets & jam tarts at the same time!

Right you lot! The winnie the pooh border is now up!! ... https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151550971185574.844016.677345573&type=1

If no one can see this - either friend request me or I can imageshack it and stick to the thread

KatyLiz

vic - well done on all the bargains! I'm intending to go to boot sales at the end of the summer. I always see loads of baby clothes at our local ones, and anything that can be picked up cheap is a bonus

As for cravings, I've only had the same two for the whole time - McDonalds fries and fruit strudels with custard. I don't like them at the same time though, so not too strange!

Rebekah - I can see the nursery, the border looks great

Gemma - I haven't said hi before, but hope you're ok and that the funeral goes as well as can be expected.

jediquigley - I don't know about other's experiences, but for me if I hadn't agreed to a student midwife being present at my daughter's birth I would have had no one. The MW's were all too busy, and it was just the student who was able to give us any time/help. And she was actually far more pleasant and eager to please than the MW! (I'm not trying to say that you should agree to it, but I just wanted to give you a different perspective.)
