MUMS are you worried regarding the hospital call back??

rockmum · 08/12/2005 13:34

MXmasW I hope it's all OK, who knows, it might be a rutine thing or something, don't get worried yet!!

Oh no! all those french unpasturised cheeses and pathes!! I wonder if pregnant women there do avoid all that stuff...

I just found this info www.moneysavingexpert.com/cgi-bin/viewnews.cgi?newsid1128506182,71306,

it's about nappies, I would def want to try the re-usable ones as they re better for the environment. Any of you with kids using these?

rockmum · 08/12/2005 13:35

Hello, first... sorry but why should be worried?

FirstSaintNikkilass · 08/12/2005 13:36

didn't mean to panic you rock - mumsxmaswish regarding her drs call back. x

rockmum · 08/12/2005 13:37

Oh I see! yeah, I hope it's all OK, keep us posted!!

mumsXMASwish · 08/12/2005 13:41

yeh the call back is freaking me out a bit, its a bit early to be bout test isnt it?

OP posts:

FirstSaintNikkilass · 08/12/2005 13:43

mxw - they probably called you back to speak with midwife 'cos of prev mc and book you in early. when I went drs for 1st pg 'cos I have dicky heart they rang me back next day for call back and they simply wanted to book me early to make sure on records and all ok x

Atomicstockinghanger · 08/12/2005 13:44

Hi! Just a quick gatecrash...

Muns its only PEANUTS, not all nuts, you should avoid if you or your DH have any history of allergies including asthama and excema.

FirstSaintNikkilass · 08/12/2005 13:44

sorry to go over old ground how long you been off pill and had you af'd?

mumsXMASwish · 08/12/2005 13:48

oh ok, that doesnt sound so bad. I gotta go in tonight to docs. So have had to go from work again. I'm gonna have to think up a good excuse for going to the docs twice in as many days.

OP posts:

FirstSaintNikkilass · 08/12/2005 13:52

just say been having problems and they want to test things...not that it should matter to them but I know they are not so good at your work...chin up as we say

FirstSaintNikkilass · 08/12/2005 13:53

sorry and let us know how you get on x

Rockmum, I use washable nappies. I started doing it to save money because my dd1 used to poo about 5 times a day so we'd get through about 7 nappies in a 24 hour period.
During one of my duller moments I did a rough calculation that it would have been costing me £1.50 a day in disposables, which would be over £500 in a year - so if it takes 2.5 years before potty training, that's a lot of money.
She now only poos 3 times a day, but we have already recouped our £150 initial outlay, and they will be good for the next one.

mumsXMASwish · 08/12/2005 13:58

nikki - am crashing this thread so have made up another to talk bout it. Doesnt seem fair to them. {http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk?rn=90438&topicid=2290&threadid=128848&redir=x90438\mums' thread}

OP posts:

rockmum · 08/12/2005 14:06

That's great stuff rubles, I want to be an eco-mummy as much as possible and I love saving money as well!!! (we NEED to save money if I want to take a year off work!)

mumsXMASwish · 08/12/2005 14:10

I always said I'd prob just get the disposables but after looking how expensive they are we may have to get some re-usables

OP posts:

rockmum · 08/12/2005 14:18

Yes you should honey! Cause the disposables take many many years to go back into the earth... I hate the idea of my kiddie's nappies being in someones fields for ages...

Rumbles: What about at nursery? do people there carry on with the disposables? (I imagine they give you your bucket at the end of the day eek!)

mumsXMASwish · 08/12/2005 14:22

I thought they got burnt now?

OP posts:

rockmum · 08/12/2005 14:42

Ah maybe! that's tons of carbon dioxide then!

good luck tonight!

mumsXMASwish · 08/12/2005 15:27

I'm in a relativly good mood. They wanted me in because apprantly my HCG levels are VERY high for the stage they think i'm at (they did that quick eh?) so I had to have them feel my belly to see if I was earlier and have been told to check my dates as they think I could be anywhere between 8-10 wks pg going on the HCG levels or there twins.

Although I'm pretty sure that my dates are right. (not completely sure tho) I've been booked in to see the midwife (and get a scan) on tuesday. In the meantime I've been told to rest.

I don't actually know what to think at the mo, i'm very overwhelmed.

apologies for just copying and pasting

NewBethlehemGirlwithsparkles · 08/12/2005 15:44

Wow MXW!
Thats fab news!

Oooh twins and a scan. You lucky thing!

Rubles maybe we'll have to get our dh's on here one night and I'll yours convert mine

I'm getting really angry now as the midwife still hasn't called and they are only there once a week.

Oh my gosh! you lucky thing, you are getting a scan!!!!!! twins would be a blessing! Wow!

Rest as much as possible.

I haven't heard from MW either and they only go there once a week as well... Oh well, I guess it's early days.

mumsXMASwish · 08/12/2005 15:54

I know, I'm as confused about it all as well. I went in there worrying something was wrong and came out with a date for a scan!!

I just don't know what to hope for.
Twins (2 mouths to feed)
Older baby (quicker it's gonna be here, and I'm not gonna have an august baby

NewBethlehemGirlwithsparkles · 08/12/2005 15:54

Just spoke to the midwife and she sounds lovely (not like my last one!)

I've got an appt on the 4th January so I'll be about 8 weeks then and she said they'll scan me between 10-12 weeks. It was 12 weeks when I had dd and she looked like a little kidney bean, lol.

Feel better now and she's also given me her mobile number in case I want to get hold of her.
