Hello, I tried to catch up yesterday and the page refreshed so I had a tantrum and haven?t been back on since! Big catch up lol
I feel strangely jealous of all the scans, when I get my next one it?ll be 5 weeks between the two and I?ve never gone that long other than my first scan which tends to be done by pre-pregnancy anyway so is an early one.
Pipsicles ? I?d been on the sick for awhile then started an art course, during that I had a miscarriage which took me awhile to get over (I hadn?t been diagnosed at that point) then went quickly through making a family. When #2 was about 13 months old I did the course, but then unexpected babies have slowed me down! The course is done in three days, about 8 hours a day ? doesn?t sound like a lot but it?s not a medical career, it?s about supporting the parents ? there?s also a webinar version now which takes longer than 3 days because obviously it?s a lot to do 8 hours a day on webinar. Once you?ve done the course you can either work privately and as there?s no legal requirements you can do that if you wish, or you can go through the recognition process which means you have a mentor who you feedback to over the next 4 births and if she?s happy she gives you your recognition. First 4 births you can charge £200 max but after that you?re your own person and can charge what you wish. If you?re a birthy type person it?s a great career, although they say there is someone for everyone, so whatever it is that you enjoy you?ll find a client you?re perfect for.
TeaOperated, welcome to the group - how did you manage to get dates two weeks different?
sarahs999, it?s understandable 
some of my doctors think I don?t need the injections but I always say (and those that think I do agree with me) what if I don?t and something happens? We won?t be able to say we did everything. With my condition they?re all the way through drugs but I can imagine how hard it is to come off something that you?re taking to protect your baby. Trust that they know what they?re doing though, unless you?ve done research or know something different ? which is what I did 
Do you hold your breath every single scan until you see the baby is still there, too? I can have three a week and a fidgety baby and still not believe it!
Chefette what delightful family you have! Get yourself on an NCT course, it?ll really help to get yourself meeting people and look for other groups too, like aquanatal.
MrsRigby, no advice, but sorry you had such a rubbish day 
Zoey, we have a nappy bin, it?s the one that you get vouchers for in the Bounty pack but we got ours from The Baby Show. I need to get some cartridges for it. I?ve used it for a couple of years and it?s great, really keeps the smell locked in without the waste of bags for each nappy.
kurlyvoice sounds like you?ve got some PGP going on. Hope the physio can help.
If anyone wants anything by Lansinoh I can get:
Tubes of cream £8 (need to order 6)
24 box of pads £2.50 (need to order 3 boxes)
60 box of pads £3.60 (need to order 4 boxes)
Plus all the other things they do (Latch Assist, pumps, bottles, milk bags) but those are things to get if you need I think and some free information sheets and sample sachets of Lansinoh. I also need to put a minimum order of £30 in.
My plans for the weekend are to carry on tidying up (been having a real strip with the kids away) and then show what happens when DH goes away whilst I?m pregnant (hormones go silly on me and I drive him around the bend lol I had a male friend getting a little... ahem... personal with me last weekend and it?s taken a lot of control to keep those hormones in check).
