Due April 2007 - Eddas, have you had it yet? It is due today after all!

[thePA]

or if not Eddas, can someone please have a baby, it's been days since the last one

Goodness me 4 postings in the time it takes for me to write 1 posting!!

Hensden - Pembury is where I'll go if anything goes wrong!!

uunfortunately noe Pinions, if there have been no problems then our last midwife visit is at 38 weeks and then nothing til lbour starts or you are 12 days over. so i have no idea if he's engaged or not!

Rep here now ..........

Oh well they are coming tomorrow, its just the system that stinks. Yours sounds really good i guess its just cos I am in the middle of a great big city!???

Girt - yours sounds really good too, I think they vary all over the country.

Really ELlie? I didn't realise that!
Pinions, glad you've got someone coming out.

And lol at their holidays. Apparently they start with the normal amount of holidays 21 days and accrue another day every year so the ones in the 50's have like 7 weeks hol to take a year or something. Mine was constantly on holiday.

thanks Katy..........and you won't need aqueous cream unless you've got excema.

We call it chip fat cos thats what it looks liek.

How are your raspberry leaf going Katy by the way, have they started to kick in yet?

the place i was temping did that with holidays but is was capped at 28 days!

i hate our system, when i had matthew it was very different, there were 3 mw's at the surgery and i saw one of them, but the others were there to cover hols/etc. i much prefered seeing one person and knowing her/her knowing me. everytime i go with this pg it's a diff mw and i have to go through the lone parent/diff fathers/narcolepsy thing all over again.

and i don't see why it stops at 38 wks, i had expected it to carry on to 40 weeks but she told me last week i didn't need to see them again unless i had a problem.

I WANT TO KNOW HOW FAR DOWN HE IS

GOD I AM SO MAD.

Nope, psoriasis here, not excema. Weirdly, it's got loads better while I've been pg!
Have decided to have only 1 raspberry leaf tab a day until I'm 38 weeks. Basically because I've only got 60, so need to make them last! If I get any signs that things are starting I'll take more.
Still here, and LO still in- think he's asleep!

What's happened?

Yeh that would annoy me too TBH I hate having to go over stuff time after time i get really bored. But at least they are there is you need them.

We just don't seem to have one and as for a team of them you can forget it. The whole team won't help apparently!!!!!!

pinions glad you got your MW visit, why do they make it so hard for us just to get the care we need, they check our BP when we do eventually see them, they should check it when we're having to phone countless different people, and plead for someone just for a check up OOOh I'm going for it this afternoon all my pent up anger, can't wait for DH to get home

CD - My goodness that's got to be a long old journey for you, don't get me started again

I get that too Katy mad! Mine too, too my total fascination has gone 100% during pregnancy and i have loved every minute of it. You will have to email me if you have any "secret" recipes or treatments that have worked for you. I have tried the lot from phototherapy/dovobet and the like and nothing really apart from sun and sand (and pregnancy) has cleared it. Aqueous cream and diprobase/ultrabse don't unfortunately touch it for me.

some people really get on my nerves!

Hensden I know - the lady on the phone could tell that I was all het up about it cos I could hardly breath, and my BP must have been over 100 I think. am really now at the whole process.

To make it all the worse I think that the receptionist seemed to like telling me they wouldn't come and I could almost see her smiling down the phone at me FFS AAAAH!

LOl ellie at you and your "random" articles.

ooh, doctors/hospital receptionists
i think they farm them somewhere, they are not real people.

apart from MIAMT of course

Ah sorry, the so mad thing wasn't something new? Started to worry...
Pinions, I get mine on my scalp (and a tiny amount on my elbow which is nothing) and the only thing I like is the calcipotriol solution. Unfortunately it never completely goes, but I get quite close! The brown gunky stuff (sorry, can't remember its name and you probably have no idea what I'm talking about) worked quite well but is an absolute pain - I could never be bothered! All the over the counter shampoos etc are useless.
Have been tempted in the past to shave my head so I can see and treat it properly! Should probably do it now so I can claim to be copying Britney!!

I KNOW.

Dovonex- that's the calcipotriol stuff I mentioned that works.
I have noticed that the sun helps to clear it in the past, but I'm really fair so try to avoid it - I can't win!

DO you get it on your scalp too?

Hello - going to try my best to post but balancing an 'at last' breastfeeding Erin in my arms!!!!!!!
