Hello,
Thanks for welcoming messages. Nice to have some preggers friends even if you are virtual! Am first of the gang to be having a small so all seems extra new. My mum and supervisor get all my anxious enquiries at the mo.
eca have only just started my doctorate - great timing eh! Luckily i get paid as it is strictly speaking a professional training course funded by the nhs. Are you writing up now?
Does anyone else have a completely rub local nhs trust? Mine has just sent me my dating scan. It's on the 4th of december, three weeks after my anomoly scan! I am fast losing faith in them. When i was in the waiting room on monday i saw a notice which said that they charged for a photo to cover costs of materials (ok, pricey but understandable given penny saving climate) AND so they could send their sonographers on training courses!!! Does this mean that if we didn't buy photos they wouldn't be able to get trained?
Also thought i better pass on my tights buying tip. Went to Formes the othr day in seach of tights as normal ones getting uncomfortable despite modest sized bump. They are £20 per pair!!! Nearly cried as need at least four pairs. Anyway went to Debenhams and v. nice girl said the only ones they had were spanx and were in sale bin (spanx?!). Anyway were only £6 reduced from £20, so if you are looking try debenhams. They are super comfy and supportive and strangely accentuate the bump, but in a nice way.
Anyway i'm sure you've all fallen asleep, so i'll stop wittering.
