    ok this is going to sound odd it isn't pregnacy related but.. my 2 dogs have a crate that they share to sleep in at night and when i leave the house etc. now sometimes they whine a high pitched noise and it's annoying and we will tell them to be quiet... however the oh has been hearing a whine when there wasn't one and telling them off. I got cross with him and said they wern't whining... now heres the odd part. Both dogs last night were on the sofa with me and guess what a dog whined in the crate... freaked us both out.. AND i'm in the hoiuse alone today both dogs are outside and the whining has started again!! I can't find the cause and it sounds just like a small dog yawing/whinging at the same time. I am FREAKED out BIG time!!! especailly since the stupid brown jr refuses to come in the house this morning!! :eek: omg omg omg!

    Miss_Money,

    Could it be your washing machine, I know they can sometimes make weird whining noises. Anything else nearby that could be making the noise. At night my fridge sounds like someone is putting on the kettle.

    Creapy missmoney! I'm sure there's a logical explanation for it though.

    morning ladies :)
    I've finished decorating my friends' wedding cakes for tomorrow!:j I'm exhausted though, I always forget how much work is involved. may be rethinking my longterm plan of setting up a wedding cake business! :rotfl:

    Checked my dress for the wedding still fits, and I look distinctly bumpy in it! It does up though, so should be fine. Looks like the weather will be fine too, so I can wear the big hat I borrowed.:D I sometimes wish I'd been born 50 years earlier, I love hats and we just don't wear enoguh nowadays :cool:

    Just going to have lunch and then a bath, and pack for the weekend. Probably won't be on again until Sunday, so hope you all have a nice weekend :)

    Noooooooooooo !!! its much more fun if you teach them the cat is their new best friend ;)

    cats just adore cuddles (round the throat is the location of choice) getting wrapped up nice and snug in a blanket (so only the nose shows)
    Any my personal fav is playing dress up - doesnt every cat want to be a stormtrooper :rotfl:

  • MM - spooky! My OH was freaked out a couple of months back because our glass wardrobe door kept rattling in the middle of the night as if someone was shaking it. he ended up timing it and said it was every two minutes! I didn't hear a thing but just calmly told him it would be the house ghosts! The look on his face was priceless, but we stillhave no explanation for it now! We're not near a road so it couldn't have been any heavy vehicles thundering past! odd.

    Hannah if you can't get a prescription you could try using natural live yoghurt! Eating it will help to maintain the natural balance of cultures, but I have read previously that (if you can bear it!) you can put it on a sanitary towel and wear it to relieve symptoms of thrush. I haven't tried it myself to be honest.......You have my sympathies though, have suffered with thrush many a time and it is vile.

    re cats, my tabby still insists on climbing onto bump to paw me in the face every monring to tell me that he wants feeding. Other than that i don't think he has really sensed anything different. he just wants food all the time and doesn't stop searching and scrounging for it. my tortie is like my shadow, though she does insist on climbing on bump too!

    Can't remember who posted info about Babies r us having 20% off but thanks- will def take a look at that in a bit!

    This was mentioned a while ago as a good deal, with BABY20 code you can get it for £160 rather than the discounted cost of £199.

    Thanks for the suggestions Jovichick & Missmonkeymoo.
    Well dr phoned me back and said she would only prescribe me external cream and the pessaries and internal creams are not suitable during pregnancy. Bit confused as I was prescribed a pessary when I had it a few months ago and when I phoned the midwife this morning she said a pessary could be used. Plus google also seems to come up with the conclusion that you can use the internals as long as you dont use the applicator thing, she wasn't having any of it though, telling me it wasnt suitable. I have external cream left over from when I had it before so going to smother myself in that and see what I feel like tomorrow. If still sore then I'll phone midwife again double check and go to my friend who is a pharmacist and get him to give me pessary.
    And I swear if one more person phones/texts/facebooks me asking if any news I may just scream, I will tell them when it happens! And my phone app came up today saying 'congratulations your 41 weeks, after months of anticipation you are now a mum!' Really! well where's the baby then!
    Anyway I've had an hour's nap and now eating saveloy and chips with packet of refreshers for afters so feeling better! There is cleaning to do but it can wait until tomorrow.:o
