PourMe, you poor thing! Food poisoning is horrid and I can imagine that would have been scary considering what they say about it during pregnancy. Last time I had food poisoning it was from drinking daiquiris from a coconut. I still maintain it was the dodgy coconut and NOT the 5 daiquiris!
Christine I've been doing the same as you and I keep meaning to try to eat before work but can just never manage it. I would say, like others, it's just to make things a little easier on your tummy.
Welcome Elle! Congratulations! So sorry to hear about your miscarriage. On double buggies, is your DS a good walker? Are you out and about a lot so he needs to nap on the go? You might be able to get away with having a buggy board and maybe having a sling in the basket so if your DS gets tired you can pop baby in the sling and DS could go in the buggy. This is my first but we'll be buying a single that converts cause I would love to have two close together! Also, I have no idea when I will get to see my midwife. I self-referred to the hospital last weekend but haven't heard anything yet. Hope I will hear soon as I know the intake appointments are supposed to be around 8 weeks and that's just after Christmas for me.
Fly, glad you won that argument! Don't know how you manage with redybrek, it's a favourite warning food of mine for little ones so I've always thought of it as baby food! Nice to have lovely warm breakfasts on cold days like these though.
Lily I can't believe your midwife! That's terrible! I would not be wanting to see her again with that attitude. When I went the EPU on Monday the nurse I saw could see how nervous I was and was so lovely and reassuring and said everything looks to be on track, and it really did make such a difference to my frame of mind. You need people who are going to be positive unless there is obvious proof that there is something going wrong.
Thanks for all the kind words yesterday everyone, it really does mean so much. Felt much better by the evening and today has been much better. Took the little ones I look after to playgroup where one of the Mum's confided in me that she's 8 weeks pregnant (with #4!) and I smiled and kind of whispered 'I'm pregnant too!' It's the first time I've actually said those words to someone who isn't my husband and I couldn't quite believe it was finally my turn to be able to say it! She's actually a doctor so I felt a bit more comfortable telling her for some reason. I also took an extra dose of my meds last night and I slept much better and have felt a lot more calm today, so think upping my dose is the right way forward. Had a little nausea today too which has me feeling much calmer.
Just realised I forgot to put down my stats:
