No! Quite the opposite. I'm thinking about people who might invent a baby simply because it's useful to have the paperwork for an entire fictitious life. An additional birth certificate, passport, driving licence etc. for someone who doesn't exist? Imagine the possibilities - all nefarious of course!

Serious question...

When you register a birth do you have to take your baby with you as proof? After all, there could be massive fraud opportunities in creating a completely fictitious person so surely they don't just take your word for it...?

No you don't have to take your baby with you when you register. My Daughter was in hospital for 13 weeks so would have been impossible to take her! You should get a printout from the hospital when you have your baby that you take with you when you register. Even if you forget it, you can still register as they have all the info on the computer.

But what if no one attends the delivery? Unlikely I know but even so, can't be completely unheard of.

I'm sure I've read somewhere recently (though cannot find the reference at the moment so may have imagined it ) that if the birth is unattended (i.e. you give birth at home without a midwife/other qualified professional) you have to present the baby when you register the birth.

As a random piece of trivia, in 1987 ~7 million 'children' disappeared on the 15th April in the US when the IRS changed the rules to say that a social security number had to be provided for each child who someone was claiming tax breaks for rather than the previous system of just taking the 'parents' word that they had a child.

Yay for good scans Emsbet and Kitten, boo for annoying grannies/MILs etc

Not had a very nice day today, but was my own stupid fault. Had a dentist appt this pm, was also DDs (first) so off we toddle in to town with MIL. All of a sudden, I really don't know how, I was on the floor, on my knees thank God, but I just went down. Got up and tried to brush it off, but by the time I got sat in the dentist chair (after DD had her teeth done- she did really well and got a tinkerbell sticker) I burst in to tears and started crying and shaking. They must have thought I was a right loon. I did tell them what had happened and they took pity on me and got me a drink and left me for a minute or two. I haven't fallen over for years, didn't think it would shake me up so much!

I now have a nice big lump on my knee and a whole in my favourite maternity jeans- luckily MIL is a whizz with a sewing machine so is going to turn them into shorts for me.

Aiming to finish the first draft of my assignemtn tonight, but may sneak off for a magnum in the meantime...........

Congrats on the good scans :j:j


Im just popping on with my new found love - a miracle cure for my constipation its Fybogel after struggling on for the past couple of weeks and trying all sorts I was amazed at how much more 'normal' everything was and I now feel so much more comfortable

Dont know if anyone else suffers but being an IBS sufferer on/off for years its the worst kind of discomfort.

Evening all, just had a quick read back. Thanks for all the lovely messages.

Jovi, I've updated this morning's list with your new date.

Kitten, glad all went well and good to see you're still flying the flag for team pink in September Do you want putting on the list or would you like to wait a while longer?

Gemma, glad your ok now. Did you faint or did your legs just give way?!

LMM thanks for the Tesco information.

((hugs)) to everyone with not so sweet grandmothers or MILs.

We've had a really busy day after we got back from the hospital we went to ikea. We bought this chest of drawers and this chair but with a different cover. I wanted the rocking chair but it won't fit in the baby's room so I've got this which bounces. I'm not 100% sure if it'll fit yet but we'll see. We then went to Babies R Us and got this cot. We've built the chest of drawers and the cot and they look fab DH has gone to play football so I'm having a nice sit down

havent been on for a few days and dont have time to read back

anyway have been taking my iron prescribed by GP (only 1 tablet and not 3 a day) for 4 days now and now getting side effects of nausea and a bit of stomach pain so going to source my own supplement which wont upset my stomach.

my belly is feeling very stretched today especially the upper part. 11 weeks to go from today, 9 weeks left at work yay!!

felt really pregnant last week - started to waddle i think lol

i have most of my family wishing i will have a girl, if its a boy i hope he gets as much attention as any girl would.

brought my birthing nigtie from primark, they didnt have any dark coloured ones but it was only £4.50 so will probably go in the bin afterwards. also brought some lovely swallow summer pjs to wear in hospital. couldnt help but buy baby some sleep suits they are lemon and white with bunnies on:)

hope everyone is doing well and coping as best they can
