Morning . Bit panicky there with mumsnet offline till 9.15 . Hope everyone is well - glad you found the dog SES - what a relief! Hi SORKY, I must pop over and have a look in the antenatal wagon suite..hopefully can stay for a bit longer now!
Great newsw XMAS - you must be feeling very excited - maybe you'll have news by Xmas??
KAY, yay for your hols - you must force yourself to take things easy!
Morning GYO, how are things?
Well, better night for me last night. Still woke at 2.45. 4.30, 5.30 etc, but managed to get back to sleep so don't feel too bad. Boobs have also gone a lot more sore, plus woke with horrible metallic taste in mouth, so happy with that!
Off to jo jingles class with dd3, then need to tidy up after cockatiel. He's very sweet, but doesn't half make a lot of mess!

Morning all! nearly needing a new thread again here!

Good luck with supervising the packing Kay!

Ses- what a worry about the dogs- glad you found her in the end

CWFXmas- great news about the pill- definately a step in the right direction to start getting it out of your system! and lots of time to practise GOFing!

Nat- how are you feeling?

kayzisexpecting · 17/10/2008 07:38

Morning!

LB, sorry you had a scare. You make sure you have plenty of rest.

Ses, I'm glad you found your dog. I had a similar thing with my cat(well mums) a few years ago and it was horrible.

YAY!!! A week and a half off work now!! Which will be spent packing and cleaning. Or supervising as that is what DH says I have to do. No lifting of anything except the kettle he said!!

cantwaitforxmas · 16/10/2008 23:00

NJ - sorry you are having such a worrying time.
Ses - glad you found your dog! We had a little escape artist of a puppy and I know how worrying it is when they disappear.

Hope everyone else is fighting off the horrid colds and bugs and the MS goes away soon.

Well I have just taken the final pill out of the pack I was on and I am not going to be starting a new one. We are still going to be using condoms until xmas but this feels like a step in the right direction- yipee!

sorkycake · 16/10/2008 22:07

If anyone wants me I'm over on the wagon AN thread. I think I'll pack up and camp there for the duration. Seems more appropriate somehow given that everyone I know is now duffed.

SesHasapinkline · 16/10/2008 21:23

LB - must have been v worrying but good that they've investigated. Take care of yourself.

Well I've had a mini stress this evening when I got home from work. DH has set up some proper fencing to enclose the back garden - concrete posts and everything. Our 2 dogs are left in the backgarden whilst we're at work and they have access to a bit of the garage where their bed and toys are.
Anyway, when I got home only one of them appeared! I decided the other may be asleep so checked the bed and she wasn't there. I tried calling her and looked round the garden but couldn't see her. I couldn't see how she could have escaped and started to think the worst so spent the next 20 mins going round the garden with the broom looking under shrubs, by compost piles and in all the corners. I was really worried I was just going to find her body. I phoned DH and he came straight home and suggested in the meantime I walk up the road and check with the neighbours. Our closest neighboyrs were out but then I heard this barking and found her locked in the front porch of the house diagonally opposite ours. There was no one home and I couldn't get to her but was so relieved to have found her.
The owners of the house were home about an hour later and turns out our dog had dug through under one of the fence panels and the nice lady opposite (who happened to be a vet nurse!) saw her in the street and took her in!

I'm sorry I know it was such a mini drama and I've rambled on about it but that half hour where I couldn't find her was really scary!

I am 100%b sure you are right LB . I'm fine thanks; extremely tired with early wakings, but good.
TINKS prescription sounds a good one for you!

tinkisgoingtohaveapumpkin · 16/10/2008 18:37

poor you lb you rest with a blanket, tv and choccies

lardybump · 16/10/2008 17:41

Still awaiting to hear from payrol but I am 99% sure I am right and that they will have to pay it. I am not going to stress about it because if they say no I will just check with CAB. I will be entitled to MA if not from government so will have some money over the period!!!

How are you feeling??

Diege · 16/10/2008 17:11

That must have been really scary LB. So glad you've got ther all-clear and baby is fine. I think the bleeding you describe is quite common in pregnancy (read about it somewhere). Wagon orders to taek thinsg easy! Any news on your maternity entitlements yet?

lardybump · 16/10/2008 16:41

evening everyone.

I had a scare yesterday. I started bleeding at lunch time and called midwife who asked me to go straight to labour ward. While there they did lots of tests (including a speculum which was not nice) and found that I have ectropion cells on the neck of my womb. However the womb is still closed so the baby is fine. I also have a water infections so am on anti biotics again.

We are back home now and have been told to take it easy so dp is cutting his hours at work for a while to help out. I really hope this is my 3 bad things now and that I can move on to nicer times.

I am going to go and catch up on the days news. Hope you are all well!!!

kayzisexpecting · 16/10/2008 14:59

Just had a nice sleep on the sofa. Hopefully it means I won't be to bad at work today.

I've just changed DS's nappy and honestly 1 minute later he has done a poo. Why do they do that?????

SesHasapinkline · 16/10/2008 14:40

Kay - I agree with the others. One of the pharmacists that works for me was pg last year and complained about fatigue and aching legs so we ordered in a chair and padded floor matting for her. They have an obligation!!

NJ - glad bloods came back ok. Did you get a BP monitor?

Hope everyone else is ok too

OP posts:
Diege · 16/10/2008 14:35

Hi TINK - sounds like you had a good trip into town . It's freezing here too, with heavy showers (ready for school run, natch).
Good news on bloods Nat . Are you noticing that the spatone is having much of an effect?
Right, off to get dds. Tried a nap but minute head hits pillow I'm wide awake again

tinkisgoingtohaveapumpkin · 16/10/2008 11:58

hi

we went to town dd had a great time walking around. they have new rides in the centre which is great she had a go on a thomas roundabout one.
i bought a 2009 calender a rachel hale cat one .
went into library and dd chose some books
it is freezing outside

diege - poor you waking up int he night
glas- poor you with sickness @ least it is getting better after last week
nat - ye for blood results
kay- work is being ridicolous being signed off sounds like a great idea)

kayzisexpecting · 16/10/2008 11:32

Good about your bloods Nat.

I don't think they would really care about me kicking up a stink. They tend to just ignore things like that.

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 16/10/2008 11:27

Kay that is awful, as Diege says though it is up to you how much of a stink you'd want to kick up.

MW has just rang, bloods are all normal, so I have to go back for BP check on Tuesday, and just 'see how the wee thing turns out' Not exactly overly helpful, but it is good to know there isn't anything urgent amiss.

kayzisexpecting · 16/10/2008 11:14

They were told by the healthy and safety people that we couldn't have a chair so thats how they get round that one. When I was expecting DS me and a collegue(sp) who was on the deli with me asked and were told this. There is a small ledge I can perch on but if I'm seen by a manager I get in trouble.

Its really quite crap as we don't get our proper breaks either.

Diege · 16/10/2008 11:08

Kayz, they really are taking the piss and they're acting illegally with the chair ruse. If they can't find a safe way for you to do you job, they eithyer have to offer yuou anoither role on same pay, or if they can't they have to suspend you on full pay until you're able to come back (if at all). That's why Police officers gets desk jobs when pregnant, women who carry heavy goods, or work with dangerous chemicals or x-rays etc get an alternative role within the company. It depends how strongly you feel about it of course, but they are breaking the law by not offering you an alternative role. I presume because of the chair thing that they wouldn't therefore employ a wheelchair user? See what I mean? They are making excuses - either that or they are totally clueless!

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 16/10/2008 10:52

glad you got some gaviscon Kayz!!

kayzisexpecting · 16/10/2008 10:49

Hello,

MW gave me Gaviscon!! YAY!!!!!! She has said that if I'm no better at work after my week off she'd like me to be signed off.

I can't have a chair as I am on the deli, because we have an oven, the hot counter and deep fat fryers(sp) its a health and safety issue and they have also said that they would have to give everyone else who is pg a chair too. Plus they keep saying "Oh we don't want you to be signed off early as we know you'd hate being stuck at home" which really is them saying they don't want me to be signed off so I can keep working.

Diege · 16/10/2008 10:42

Agree, going from hyperemesis to being sick in morning is bliss!

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 16/10/2008 10:11

its good at keeping the sickness away... i find if i take it on an empty stomach i feel very spaced out and dizzy, but if i wait until i've eaten then its not as bad... but that means i'm normally sick a couple of times first thing before managing some breakfast!! Vicious cycle!! But at least i'm keeping my food down now, and if i'm only sick a couple of times in a morning its better than what i was like last week!!

Diege · 16/10/2008 10:04

I've heard cyclazine is really good Glask - agree with you abotu seeing a different GP from the hopeless one!

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 16/10/2008 09:56

I'm on a different medication that the hospital prescribed called cyclazine, they are little tablets and are very strong... they give me a few side effects, but hold off the sickness once i've taken one... I was told when i'd ran out to go to the GP for more until i dont need them any more. I'm not going to see the GP who wanted me to come off the meds again!!
