takes a deep breath

sorry to worry you all, was thinking in cab all way there "but i havent told the others!" and forgot to save my text buddys num in phone, which i am doing right now BTW!

ok...sounds ok...glad to hear it

placental abruption..when a bit of placenta starts to come away, usually painful, and accompanied by red bleeding....

sure your scan will be just fine x take care

oh Natty - that was quick typing i'm impressed
so at least you home and will be fully informed by tomorrow morning - hope you have an uneventful night - or alternatively - loads of contractions then a baby

Derlor, am going to text you tomorrow - just to make sure lines of communication are open!

Glad it's not too bad natty, and at least you get your scan tomorrow. Make sure you take it easy tonight though. No curry, no red wine, NO SHAGGING!!!

Natty, what time are you going for your scan tomorrow? (Just so I can plan my day ... )

Euww, Ria! Did anyone else read that thread "can I have sex if I've lost my plug?"

I mean, REALLY?!!!

Ok Foxy - i asked DH to put your number in his phone too as we'll probably forget to take mine to the hospital but he said no way was he having "Foxy" in his contacts!!!!!

Glad you are ok natty!!

PMSL at your DH!

Well, then he can put me under The Fabulous Ms Brown!!

I'm off to bed with my Horlicks, and my "How to be the Perfect Housewife" book which I received today. I am such a farking saddo

Thanks for letting us know you are OK Natty!

Night all xx

I didn't see that thread. Phew. Why would one want to?

Change of subject but have been reading the info booklet from my hopsital (thinking of re-packing bag with relevant stuff rather than just emergency stay stuff.) It mentions our hospital has a fire drill/alarm testing every week. Do you think they make women in labour go and stand in the car park for roll-call?

There are an awful lot of rules ... have just emailed them to my sister (nurse, visited me when I had DS2 and she was the ONLY person on the ward whose mobile went off!)

right i'm off to watch some ER - i'll be back tomorrow.
thanks for the fun day - i've hardly spoken or looked at my family but hey ho - you are my virtual family
night all x

DON'T DO IT FOXY! perfection is a bad thing...

I am reliably informed DH will not be long before he's home (I want one of those tracking devices Holly has) so I am going to risk a bath. Feel like an hippo and might not be able to get out without assistance (or block and tackle).

I will be checking in regularly tomorrow as it takes too long to get up to speed otherwise. Bugger the housework, I'm about nested out anyway (just still so much to do...). Surely I deserve a shopping break?

Right, I'm going to bed! My dd has just woken up and started screaming because she dropped her duck on the floor, so I think she may be sleeping in with us tonight! I'll leave her in with dp and I'll sleep in the spare room!

gtg in for scan at 9, but they will be fitting me in when they can so god knows how long i will be waiting.. planning on taking sandwiches in with me lol.
also going on own as hubby cant get out of work, (he is interviewing people) so shall take a nice big book with me too

in other new my pushchair sold! 100 quid.. that will help the moving fund eh!

sorry again to have worried u all.. but u know me, not one to want to bear bad news.. oooo i get to see ellen for 1st time in about 20 weeks, yay! its like an early glimpise b4 real thing.. gonna ask them to double check it IS an ellen not an alan... lmao

Damn just had a barney with my mum ;( She wants me to do a load of stuff on her website. I pointed out that she can get someone else to do it: i am finishing work! She then went into a massive one about how it's totally unreasonable of me to want to take six months off work with baby and DD and how she never took any time off with us (nanny central) so why did I want to spend time with my children: I must be weird! I said that's your choice, but I don't want to do things the same way as you did. I am being a bit unreasonable - wouldn't kill me to do a few hours work for her, but I'm still pissed off she has said (and also encouraged my rather suggestible brother) that she wants nothing more to do with her granddaughter / my neice.

I know there's a whole thread on this in the 'am i being unreasonable' section - but I don't want to tangle with alphamummy xenia!

Good grief! When will people realise that its different for different people!

Honestly I've just been and had another look at that thread, why do people feed the Xenia beast? She can't see further than what suited her - and has no consideration or compassion for anyone else.

I love being a SAHM because out of the jobs I've done and the career I was actually quite good at, nothing fulfills me more that the job I do now. I'd rather hear "your children have lovely manners, they are a credit to you" than "you've done a great job divising and rolling out imperatives for the year".

I'm with you Zelda. Personally I don't want to pay someone to bring up my children.

I find it hard to imagine her career is that wonderful and rewarding given the amount of time she seems to spend harassing people on mumsnet...when does she find a minute to do anything else?
TBH I'd like to take longer off, but won't be able to afford it. At least I won't have to go back fulltime, so should count my blessings.

Natty: last scan I had at kings was waiting nearly 2 hours - so do bring plenty of snacks / reading material. You got Thomas covered I take it? I'm round the corner if you want a cup of tea with a hairy trucker after

Good thing I didn't get into the bath. I would be a hippo sized prune by now (bet he's chatting up the blonde girl from down the road...). Never mind, have just spent £30 on amazon on books for the boys gifts from the baby (I am NOT holier-than-thou, they will get choclate and spoilt rotten too, just found a couple of books they would like - Bill Oddie for DS1 (?) and Poppy Cat for DS2, and I thought they would be able to sit and read them nicely with me while baby feeding. Now I will take off the rose0tinted specs...) Hope they arrive before the baby does. (Probably just as well DH not here, he'll never know. I have bought him the Willow Tree figure "new life". Hope that's not too twee, but I like them.)

Have had a setback on the name front. DH has discovered the new woman at work is called OUR girls name. And so he won't consider it anymore. Suppose it would be easier all round if it's a boy given that we have masses of clothes for boys, I know what I'm doing in the nappy area AND we have a name. Oh Bugger.

Wish I'd ordered the new Nanci Griffith CD too, will have to brave the too-noisy-to-think yoofful parallel universe that is HMV instead. Bugger. It can be MY after-dentist treat on Wednesday! Yay!

Bathtime. Night all. x

morning all. leaving in a in just wanted to pop in and say g'day!
yes im taking in a whole cool bag, and a book to read so prepared for a long wait lol.
will text BZ if they are keeping me in just to let u guys know.. if not 10 days till my due date eeekkk

Morning all - still really depressed about Mum (god knows why - you'd think after a lifetime of crap from her I'd be innured to it by now...) How can I cheer myself up? Nothing EVER makes me cry and I'm sat here weeping

Morning everyone, Natty, good luck at the scan shop! Hope you're not waiting too long. BZ - sorry about the fight with your mum and that you are feeling sad - not sure what it is about mothers that think they can say whatever they like and get away with it - mine said to me this morning, when George was trying to climb up me (while I was talking to her and typing an email) that 'you'll soon have 3 to contend with, you'd better get used to it' - must be a pg thing but I put the phone down on her .

Off to take G to tumble tots then have an afternoon of freedom until I pick Tom up from nursery. Have a good morning all!

Morning everyone! It's very quiet this morning!

BZ I hope you are feeling better about your mum. It sounds like she just doesn't understand the way you want to bring up your children, hopefully she'll come round, or learn to keep her opinions to herself! Look at my pics on my profile, the hairy man (aka me) might make you smile!!!

Hope your scan is/was ok natty! xxx
