thanks seven, hope your DS is better soon too. DD is 3, nearly 4. She seems to be a bit better today thankfully. We have made her a wand. Being at home both of us ill all week has been......erm.....interesting. Thanks flipping God for the ipad.
maybe I know what you mean about wanting a scan sooner. I think they do have a good look at anomalies if you go private, but I was only looking at the Fetal Medicine Centre in London, so not sure if the babybond places do.

for the lady with Strep B. I am galvanised into testing at 37 weeks now. Where do I go? Does anyone know?
littlespade I know what you mean about people noticing before you're ready to announce. When I go back on Monday, I'm going to have to tell people, which is a bit nervewracking after a MMC and an EP this year. They mostly all know about them so sure they'll be delighted but it's still a big deal to me.
beaut I see a green face and a glass of wine (not on Iphone)
zorra you poor thing! Hope you're recovering ok. I think it's natural to worry about the little one, but they are well cushioned in there, nature has designed it that way.

at the thought of Greenpeace rushing in to save you!!!
wilde sorry you're poorly, have a nice honey and lemon. I've had a load of them, try adding fresh ginger as well, very warming.
jen sorry to be another one to tell you, it just gets worse as the baby presses up, soz! Gaviscon Advance was my friend in the last pg. 100 times better than ordinary gaviscon (which did NOTHING)
I'm back at work on Monday (gulp!), but have arranged to work half days til Xmas (phew!). The most I've done in the last month is walk to the local shops, I seriously cannot imagine being on the go from 7.30am til 6pm.
The bump is getting larger, I can feel it growing and pressing and stretching. Just want to get the anomaly scan over and done with, have to wait until the 18th Dec. If anything is wrong, we are plunged into Christmas shift staffing issues, so praying that it's all boring and fine.
