Worth adding:

Dermaroller is an effective treatment for stretch marks (depressed silvery ones, not raised red ones) as it stimulates collagen production "plumping up" the skin.

It can also be used to significantly reduce the appearance of any other scars.

Well on a more exciting note - I tried to get to Asda last night to get my huggies kit (rung up and they were in stock and everything) to be stopped in my tracks because the centre of town had been closed off cause some fruit loop was on the roof of asda with a knife, and the police decided to cause traffic rush hour chaos by shutting off every main road in the area for hours. So no huggies kit yet.

Then to add to the excitement, at about 6:45 when we were home, the whole house shook and there was an almighty bang, the windows shook and everything, scared the living daylights out of me and bump, and the dogs! Turns out some naughty pilot had caused a Sonic Boom - and the whole town shook! It was deffo an interesting night, I don't think I can handle it lol x x

I heard about the ASDA thing and also heard/felt the sonic boom. i thought a car had blown up on the main road as I'd just seen blue lights heading that way but DH said it would be to do with the plane that was going over....so then I was waiting for it to fall out the sky lol!!

So, as you all know, where this pregnancy is concerned nothing is straightforward for me! got up this morning and had the teeniest little spot of blood on my pantyliner. Didn't really think anything of it and would normally just have waited to see if I got any more. However, I had my 25 week midwife check this morning so I mentioned it to the midwife....cue me being sent to the hosp as I am A- blood group so have to have anti-d if I bleed! So They said go for 10.30 am and they'd see me when they could as they were booked up. Eventually got seen, had bloods taken, vaginal swabs done and got to go back tomorrow afternoon for the anti-d injection! All for the sake of a spot of blood that was so small I can't think of anything small enough to compare it to!

Anyway, between midwife and hosp I called at tesco and used my £1 of huggies wipes to get some on their buy 1 get 2 free offer. got 12 packs of wipes worth £31 for £6!!!

Oh no - poor you! Have you been stocking up on Cotton wool? If not I have some, maybe I will pop it round to you for your OH to wrap you up in!!

Let me/us know what they say tomorrow - won't you! Nightmare, hugs x x

Poor thing Lisa. At least you know they are looking after you.
DH bought me an iPhone 4s yesterday and I was transfering my phone numbers from my old phone on to it and I came across Lisa26 I'd forgotten I gave you my number so I could let everyone know when you got your BFP

Sorry, I need a moan. I am feeling depressed, and I feel like the further along I get in the pregnancy, the less OH understands me and I him. I keep telling him he needs to help me more around the house (this has been on for years), or we should get a cleaner to help me. Every time he promises me he will. Two months later, it is the same story. I was so down with tiredness, etc., that the house is a mess, and he yet again promised to do more. Now, two months since I last used up my bits of energy to clean the house as we had guests coming for a weekend, the house is a tip. We were expecting his friends first weekend of January, and he promised to do everything, but they cancelled couple of days before, and he did absolutely nothing! I cam home late last night, and as I was letting him know I will be late, I asked him to boil some potatoes for mash and if I am late, make the mash, as we were having cottage pie. So, I get home, the timer next to the pot says 57 min, the potatoes are still boiling, unpeeled and unsalted. He took out the rubbish bag out of the bin 3 days ago, and it was left standing next to the bin. The dishes from last night/morning piled up in the kitchen and around, and he was sitting in the living room and paying PS3! I am tired of getting angry every time, and just get more upset and disappointed as it goes. I did say last night that this is the last time I am telling him. I think next time I will just have to call and get the cleaner. Sorry, things just keep piling up.

And we can't agree about anything about babies. I want to get the nursery room sorted (the peeling wallpaper, etc), get two matching cots, and just make the room feel nice, as I will be spending probably 20 hours a day there! He doesn't see why I want the cots to match, we don't need them - babies can sleep in the moses baskets (he just came to agree to get them a week or so ago!!!!), why I want to get them sorted before babies arrive (we will not have time to go and look for furniture once we have to deal with two babies). He wants his mum here 'helping out' once babies arrive, even better as she is retired doctor, especially if I have c-section (I would not allow her anywhere near me even if there was anything going wrong!!!!!! ). All I can say, if she does come to stay here for weeks, I will end up having PND, no doubt there. Anything I suggest, is not accepted, as it is useless/pointless/he never heard of it/or any other excuse. Like getting some meals frozen for once the babies are here - what is the point, he can always cook something!!!!

Sorry, just needed to get this off my chest. I am trying to get him to take a week off in February, so we can have holiday, and to be nice, suggested we go and visit his family. Not my ideal holiday, it would be stressful and tiring, but then his parents are getting grandchildren, and I thought they may want to see us once more before (we haven't seen them since Christmas 2010). But maybe I should just book a week myself and go away.

I am sitting in the office, trying to work, but my mind is not here. I just keep trying to stop myself crying. And I don't really want to go home. It is his birthday on Saturday, and I have bought nothing. I suggested today to go to Omid Djalili show if he would like, but if I am honest, I just feel like don't want to do anything. He usually goes out to his friends on Saturday night, so maybe I'll just let him go there, and save myself £40-50 plus the dinner/travel/parking. I think I am just being mean...

Sorry for the massive post...

4nnabella - Good Luck with everything
Hope your managing to get a bit of rest. X

Gin - I really feel for you.
When I had my DD, my ex hub invited his mum to stay. She was a retired nurse and she thought she knew everything. She rubbished my views on co-sleeping, told me I was likely to suffocate DD, she wanted me to exclusively breastfeed, told me formula would give her no nutrition at all and she'd become ill (was taken out of my hands anyway and I had to formula feed) and after a couple of days, I told ExH she had to go. It was suffocating. Please put your foot down and ask for a couple of days/weeks to yourself to adjust to things.
Now I love my OH's parents, but they understand we want time to ourselves, and have said to let them know when we're ready for visitors.
With regards to cleaning, can you use the money you'd spend on his birthday, to hire a cleaner for a couple of hours?
I know it's harsh but it would make him realise how hard it is on you.
Huge hugs to you.... Xxx

Hope everyone else is well. Xxxxxx

Ah Lisa only 14 more weeks to go now, snoopy is right though, maybe we should wrap you up as a precausion!

Gin, hope you feel a bit better now, I would feel exactly the same if it were me. My Mums OH only lives round the corner from us but luckily is really lovely and just goes with what ever we want.

Just seen a picture of a prem baby at 26 weeks, I cant get my head round the fact I have one of those inside me, I dont know where he/she is hiding!?!?
