thinking!!!! Where do you get tablet ice cream? I want some!!! With a side helping of fresh tarmac.

I've done sod all today, except dye my hair and ache. I have found that sitting legs akimbo on the hot patio steps is quite soothing if inelegant.

TotallyEggFlipped · 19/06/2013 17:47

I'm still craving my fish finger sandwich. Can't wait for my shift to finish so I can make one. Think it'll have to be in a home bake baguette. Mmmmm

Abzs · 19/06/2013 17:48

Nearly forgot. esme I was put on loratadine (?spelling) 10mg a day to try to unbung my ears. Check with pharmacy or gp first obvs.

Abzs · 19/06/2013 18:18

Should add it's the active ingredient in dh's off the shelf hay fever tablets.

IcingTheCake · 19/06/2013 18:18

slouching thats hilarious.
dinky how was the massage yesterday?
shelley did they give you any explanation as to why that might be? hope you are able to rest
Wow another new arrival. good luck schro for the july 11th babies we're due on a thursday which in the rhyme is «has far to go» Hmm maybe well be the late ones.

ive just worked out this emoticon Biscuit is a biscuit. I thought it was a boob all this time for use on the breastfeeding thread as Biscuit Biscuit

IcingTheCake · 19/06/2013 18:46

Hahaha cheek! That really made me laugh you thinking it was a boob Smile im on my phone most of the time so its a more obvious biscuit but i can see why you'd think it on the actual site Grin

VinegarDrinker · 19/06/2013 19:09

Who was asking about hayfever? Anyway piriton is absolutely fine. 4mg up to 3x a day.

We went to London Zoo in the end instead of swimming- MIL has membership there and I decided I couldn't face donning a swimsuit in front of her Blush Had a nice day, was HOT but we managed to find enough shade to stop melting and DS enjoyed playing in the fountains in the kiddy area.

Shelly lots of healthy placenta vibes. The way I see it is yes you are measuring small but at least you know why - be cause of the oligohydramnios - and you are being closely monitored for it so it's not the same as just 'being mall's for no reason. If that makes any sense!

VinegarDrinker · 19/06/2013 19:09

Urge, should say being small. Autocorrect fail!

dinkystinky · 19/06/2013 19:11

Massage was lovely thanks cheek - they use a special table with a hole cut off for your bump and boobs so you can lie on your front. Was totals bliss. Lol at the boob biscuits.

Shelley - hope you have managed to get some rest today. It sounds like they are keeping a close eye on you and the baby.

Latest discovery of the day - watermelon from the fridge or freezer is awesome!

MrsWildermac · 19/06/2013 19:30

Tablet is the Scottish version of fudge, though with slightly more 'crunch', although it's not actually crunchy! It's utterly delicious and completely different to what I can only imagine you were thinking :) goes to search local shops to see if there is any in stock

esme80 · 19/06/2013 19:55

Thanks for advice on hay fever! Back to pharmacy tomorrow...

And now I fancy watermelon and this tablet thing...

shelley72 · 19/06/2013 20:08

tablet ice cream sounds fab. i have some clotted cream ice cream in the freezer (thank god its gone back up to full price, have eaten far too much lately) and a bit tempted to make some fudge tomorrow to sprinkle on top. thats the best i can do Smile.

not much rest today unfortunately, been in and out most of the day with school runs, midwife, errands. did manage to get a pedicure though which was nice for an hour. just have some homework on hand expressing to do tonight then its the apprentice for me and off to bed.

vinegar i am starting to worry a bit about the oligo, in case all is not well with the baby. am to go straight to labour ward should i feel any reduction in movements. i think the BP issue is just me worrying about all of these things! a day out sounds wonderful. not that i would like to go with my MIL!!!

wonder how schro is getting on?

IcingTheCake · 19/06/2013 20:24

Ooooh mrs wildermac tablet ice cream sounds yummy! Smile Learn something new everyday!

Thinkingof4 · 19/06/2013 20:41

Ha yes I should have specified tablet is a yummy (but v sugary) Scottish sweetie, normally made by grannies Grin
abzs it must be quite close to you, don't want to say exactly where i am but maybe 15 miles south of where I think you are? Well known ice cream shop on the front, next to a very popular chippie. There were queues an hour long at the weekend apparently!!

Anyone on FB heard any more about schro? Haven't seen her on this thread for a wee while, hope things are going ok

Twinklestarstwinklestars · 19/06/2013 20:43

Thinking Schro is still waiting to see doctor, but shes still in hospital, will pop over and let her know people are asking and see if she can come and update.

shelley72 · 19/06/2013 20:45

thinkingof4 for goodness sake, ice cream AND chips. they are the only things i have been fancying to eat for days now (and trying to resist) and now i think i HAVE to have some. not quite the same when you're not at the seaside though Smile

Twinklestarstwinklestars · 19/06/2013 20:50

Anyone who wants adding to the FBI group pm me your name on there and I'll add you to the group, cant remember who the other admins are, nice to see pics are being added as babies are born.

TotallyEggFlipped · 19/06/2013 20:59

Twinkle - FBI group Grin

cheek - I hope you haven't been insulting people on the boob threads by posting biscuits Wink

Abzs · 19/06/2013 21:28

thinking I thought it would be found there, even if there wasn't where you were. Iyswim. Might have to pay a visit while I still can. Off to the boat festival at the weekend so shall also have to see what these guys have to offer.

The chipper's quite good (IMHO). Being an ex lancastrian though, I have very high chip standards Grin

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 20/06/2013 01:50

Quick update - Sorry about typing on phone.
Waters went this morning and have been kept in, had first steroid injection this early afternoon and cervix was closed, was meant to get second tomorrow but got it at 12am as was checked and cervix was 1cm long and 1cm dilated.

Had a scan and baby is under 10th centile, doesn't seem to have grown any in a few weeks so waiting to hear about that.
Cx very irregular and not at all painful but now passing some blood. No idea what is happening!

TotallyEggFlipped · 20/06/2013 03:03

Hope you're having an ok night, Schro & you're able to get some rest.

IcingTheCake · 20/06/2013 06:26

schro hope you've manage to get some rest and things will be better today after seeing the doctor.

Cheeseandbread · 20/06/2013 07:05

Just seen your message Sycro hope you are ok and the doctors have given you some more information. Thinking of you xx

dinkystinky · 20/06/2013 07:11

Schro - hope you got some sleep last night and get some answers - and food!- this morning. Good luck x
