Can anyone help me with my very serious problem here www.mumsnet.com/Talk/2724/494949?rnd=1205352672017

well rang her as it said available for advice only to be told quite abrutly she had a clinic on and she would call me back later. asked if i was in and had to say i was off out to collect dd at 3 she said 5 mins. that was 1/2 hour ago! so will have to see

7.5 weeks
hadn't thought of a&e - might get dh to tkae me tonight, been going on for about a week btu just not easing, worried about eptopic etc. have just found epu sister's number on internet says to call for advice - might ring her.

Yup! Or even A&E hon - don't hang around. I have had this several times myself (2 c/s, this is 3rd) and I have had burning pains around scar. It's very normal, and old scar tissue will be pulling away as my consultant described it to me. So, some uncomfortableness will be normal but they said any bleeding or really bad pain come straight in.

But also there isn't a lot they can do about seeing if scar is about to rupture. I think they can do a scan but my midwife told me there isn't much that can be done. Now -whether that's true or not!

How many weeks? Mine have been coming and going periodically but I tell you if I thought something was wrong I would be in A&E like a shot.

ok crace - choc nests were made by melting big bar of cooking choc in mircowave, mixing in two large tablespoons of golden syrup and about 6 scrunched up shredded wheat. spooned into acses and eggs added. am going to try just choc later this week and also mars bars )if they last that long!)
will stop beating ymself up over replacement care
but also cos you're here - would you just call the epu if you couldn't get dr's appoinment till fri and only then as an emergency? got niggly pains around c-section scar. not getting any better as the week goes on, if i go to epu i'll have to mess around parents etc for pickups! arg! feel ok, it's just bothering me a little.

Thanks Mo, figured it was as easy as that. I think I over complicate things

EM- I actually phoned around and found a few people - both my f/ters are going to separate covers. One I am not expecting back to be honest - but I would need a variation so I am cool with that. The other are dream parents and I want them back! They are meeting someone this week. The other parents are burying their head but I found them 2 people to phone and they've not done a thing. So I can't do more than I have done.. I keep reminding them it's coming but it's not my problem, I've done all but sign the contract

So, do what you can but stop feeling guilty!! When are you stopping?

Hey, don't forget to give me that choc nest recipe!

quiet time for em at the moment, mindee sleeping after energentic morning and dd at pre-school. am re-typing my permission forms all onto one set of pages to save me printing out lots every time.

Looney + Crace - please tell me what you have done re cm cover while you're off? one of mine won't know her days till july so can't look till then (i keep a full time place for her but she's a friend and did me huge favours when starting out so ) but my other needs fridays as of now and then full time from when i give up - probably sept ish. have asked a few cm's i know but they don't want to do fri's for a full time space in sept now! i don't want to tkae on fridays as i need the rest [wimp] ! my after schooly is only until july when he goes to secondary school. so do i need t find care possiblities or should i stop feeling guilty!

I don't bother with the vinegar tbh. Did know you had to! Just couple drops of food colouring and water. Have fun!

Girls - how do you colour eggs? Is it just a few drops of food colouring with some hot water and vinegar? Submerge and leave, then leave to dry? Hard boiled first of course!

You know what? I've never, ever plucked my eyebrow! I don't look like Dennis Healy though, so don't panic! They are so fair, there seems to be no need. Every so often, I do try, but it hurts too much!

I assume the windows will blow in, if the force is on the outside, but inevitably there'll be some that come out.

Garage has phoned. Just need a couple of new tires, so I've agreed to that and sit tight for a bit longer. Getting bored now actually. I want to go and buy some more paint for the house!

am worried about my elderly neaighbours wondows, they are rotton, huge(i mean 3-4 inch) gaps at top where they have slipped out of rotton frames)(they have money BTW, so do their children, so dont know why they are still like this)

the bedroom one i can see from our upstairs bay is now wobbling about as the masking tape(yes i kid you not) that was bridging the gap between window and frame has come unstuck..not to sound awful, but will the windows blow 'in' or out????, its just i have to get the children out in an hour, get everyone outside, come back in and lock up..then come home with baby and do whole routinwe again for home school run..am concerned it will blow into my garden and hurt one of the children

The wind is bad here too, but have had lots of lovely sunshine now the black clouds have started to appear!

i'm still lounging around in my dressing gown as no mindee till 12pm

could really do with filling some of my spaces but there are so many c/m's locally - hoping to be starting a 1 yr old in aug/sept which will be good . . . . keeping my fingers crossed - i love that age too

no mindees today then Mo?..sod the hosue apinting, go pamper yourself, nice bubble bath, pluck your eyebrows(no i cant see yours but mine are like tree trunks so thats what i'd be doing[smile[), face mask, cup of coffe with biccy's

Leave them LT. They are better down than up atm. All my recycling boxes are being flown around in our side alley as we speak, but there's no point sorting them, it'll only happen again. My lights are flickering now, we thought we were going to get a power cut on Monday, so I'm on standby again. Typically, I'm stuck in, on my own, without a car! Garage won't even be able to phone me if the power goes down! I'll have to top up my mobile and ring them!

yone, so sorry to hear your still having a rough time Kay, i 'really' hope something good does happen very soon.

Crace, its not fair is it..i think most men are the same, we give birth therefor we do most of the work for a life time..we wouldnt think twice of hopping of weeks after baby born to work/socialise..unfortunatly, thats the way a lot of peoples lives are..you are getting family help tho arn't you? while he's away?..could you get it for longer/earlier/later than agreed?what about people close to you(in vacinity) so you dont have family treading on your toes, can nieghbours/friends help out?/.

Hi to everyone else, sorry the winds ravaging your garden loony, am hoping our fence stays put but is wavering badly..that on top of kitchen mess would explode my brain!

mindee fast asleep and snoring as shes full of cold!, off do get lunch ready then to nursery, not venturing further today, too crazy out there..see you all later, hope you all have a better day

OMG ......just had a right fright.....fence panels have just fallen and hit the playroom, what a bang. 2 are leaning again it now and there's nothing I can do. Just went out to investigate and one has made a dent in the frame of the conservatory The other hit the glass but thank god it's double glazing!! I tired to move them but the wind is too strong and being pregnant and kids in the house, I can't risk it!

Violet - the way I see it, it's the same kids as have now but one of them just happens to me in me atm Therefore if I can lug these kids around now whilst pregnant and suffering with walking etc, hopefully I should be fine

crace - I'd be counting!! I can see why you'd want to speak to the Dr. I had it bad after ds and told the midwife I was terrified of getting it again, especially in this job. She said the main thing was to be positive through the pregnancy (I had lots of horrible stuff going on when pg with ds like parents splitting, dad trying to top himself, mum disappearing etc etc). I did feel positive when I could i.e. after the worries of loosing baby but then dh loosing his job but a bit strain on relationship etc. and it's been hard. I'm trying to be as positive as I can and I THINK that's all you can do hun! Totally understand your concerns though.

KayS - best of luck! Keep us posted.

LT you are a mad woman but we knew that already!

I am hoping things pick up in the samuels household soon, thanks for the support.

Good news on your vriation. I emailed a copy but it wasn't signed, so posted a copy then an email arrived telling me where to send a signed copy and it is a different address to the one I sent to! I am just waitng fr them to tell me whether or not it will get processed properley where I have sent it. Everything seems like hard work this week!

Kay Much sympathy - it's so hard. There is nothing worse than financial problems.

Hey dmo!

LT - I finish up 2nd of May (7 weeks Fri but who's counting??) and it's not soon enough. Too much to do, too much to worry about. Seeing my GP on Tuesday as I am worried about the amount of anxiety I am carrying around with me and the inevitable PND (had with previous two) and want to nip it in the bud before it's an issue. By any means possible!

Congrats on the variation! You CAN do this!

looney - there's no way i could cope with all those babies/toddlers you must be a very organised and capable lady
i only tend to have two mindees and ds at a time and find that plenty hard enough

Morning all

Not been about as much as not had much time with the new kiddies plus in the evenings I'm far too tired to bother atm!

Belle - poor dd, hope she feels better soon!

mumlove - morning!

Ellie - no way would I walk anywhere I didn't have to in this wind, I had trouble keeping the pram down this morning!

Mo - enjoy painting the dolls house, sounds fab!

crace - totally understand why you feel down Remind me when you finish work?

Kay - that's happened to me too and it's embarrassing isn't it, but can't be helped! Feel for you on the finances, we've certainly felt the pain of dh's latest redundancy (his 4th time!). Hope your dh gets something better soon and that you manage to get some work, so stressful isn't it!

dmo - toast would be fab please - with marmite!

Well, I'm in a good mood this morning! Ofsted agreed to my variation in September to keep current tiny baby once my baby arrives therefore having 2 under 1 until December. I phoned last night and was told it's very unlikely unless it was twins blabla and I told the nice (but robotic) telephone staff that I'm fully aware of the rules but could they please speak to inspection support team who are looking at my 'case'! Got phone call approving it this morning Now it's time to freak out......on those 3 days I will have 8ish week old, 8 month old, 19 month old, 4 year old and 5 year old. Please tell me I'll be fine with 3 aged 19 months and younger!!! (don't worry, I KNOW I can do this! )

Right, time for a cuppa me thinks One in bed and other refuses to play with me at the moment as she's now 12 months old and a 'grown up' who can do things for herself!!! (currently trying to put her shoes on! lol)

Have a good day everyone.
