    westclok - if they do retract their offer you should seek legal advice it could constitute discrimination. Go to your citizens advice bureau, they should be able to refer you to a free law centre or a solicitor who will offer a free consultation.

    Hi Everyone,

    Sorry I have been away for so long. My thing says my last visit was 24th May!! Anyway, a lot has been happening. We had a really nice 2 week holiday in Turkey, got a lovely tan. My morning sickness stopped at the end of the first week there, which was a bonus!

    Then got back, went to work for 4 days and started feeling really rough, got slowly worse. Then doctor got me admitted to hospital with dehydration and possible appendicitus. Anyway, an operation would be danagerous for the baby, so they just kept me in for a few days, then decided it wasn't appendicitus and sent me home. Felt ok for a couple of days, then worse again. So got admitted to hospital again, only in for 2 days then. They basically decided that as they didn't know what was wrong with me they would just send me home!! Back to see my GP again, who was really lovely. He thinks it is some sort of internal infection, possible kidney or intestine. Anyway he has put me on antibiotics and we are just seeing how it goes. I am still on bed rest (but have got DH to sort me out his laptop in the bedroom so I can come back on here!).

    I am really amazed that my depression seems to be staying at bay. With all the stress (worrying about whether I was going to lose the baby and what effect this is having on him or her) and having days on end when I couldn't keep my medication down, I am remaining quite positive.

    I see there are lots of new faces, hi to all. It is amazing how many new people we seem to have picked up in the last few weeks, can't wait to get to know you all.

    Thanks for the advice katp, my look into that, they said they were gonna call me back later this week... will see what happens.

    Went to the counsellor today, i found it really helpful and it seemed to pick me up. If only I could carry her around with me all day :-)
    I think she might have a problem with that tho

    Do you guys find seeing a counsellor helps?

    I was going to query seeing one, but thought it would just be too awkward?!?

    Thanks Katie, I feel like I am coming back to old friends, which is lovely. I have missed you all. Not just the support, but the friendly banter etc.

    At least being on bed rest this week I get to watch Wimbledon, if they get any play in between the rain that is!!
