Floria and Muppet ? I did internet dating because I didn?t want to go out with anyone from work or that I had ?got p*ssed and pulled?!! SO that obviously narrowed my options a touch! Had a few dates before dh ? no real chemistry but all great blokes ? I was pretty careful to make sure we had stuff in common and a bit of banter going on before meeting up ? that way even if we didn?t fancy each other we?d still have a good time.
Have to say I was always upfront about what I was doing and how I met dh as I didn?t see anyh issue with it. But I did get some strange reactions so I don?t blame you for deciding to keep quiet.
Floria ? good luck to your sil. Fingers crossed she finds it a lot of fun too once she gets over her reticence?
J20 ? normal BP 1s 120/80. But basically it doesn?t matter if it?s a little low (mine is about 90/60) as long as you don?t feel dizzy.
Monalisa ? Hi! Good to see you again ? think you were about when I first joined in as I certainly recognise your name? I also vouch for the avent microwave steriliser ? works out much quicker than the electronic ones and it?s cheaper! Win win I think!
Floria ? sounds like everything is going OK really with your lo ? like you say its hard to see why they might want an induction if everything is going OK ? even if 70th-80th centile is correct that?s still well within whats considered normal!
Sorry to hear you are feeling so tearful too honey ? not helped I?m sure by your dh being away. Big virtual hugs from me!
Lisa ? glad everything was OK (ish!). Fingers crossed she stays put till your next scan?.
Inzi ? sorry you have had another cr*p night. I couldn?t sleep either although at least I wasn?t in pain?. It was Floria who was talking about induction for lo?s growth not me ? as far as I know my one seems to be growing nicely at about the 40th centile ? probably big for me as I am well below that at 5ft but good enough!
Nellie ? sorry to hear ds is still not sleeping properly ? fingers crossed he sorts himself now over the next few days?
Buffy ? sounds like you need some hugs too ? why does everything have to be so complicated?! And why did the pharmacist feel the need to tell you about how expensive that drug is ? hardly your fault is it!!! Sorry about your neg experience with your section last time ? fingers crossed it won?t turn out necessary this time hon. Defintaly have a chat with your doc about stronger painkillers though. There are loads that are safe in pregnancy other than just paracetamol. Understand your reluctance to go into hospital but please try to get more help at home so you can rest?
MrsFish ? sorry to hear you slept so badly and still had to do so much so early! No fun at all. Think you?ve made a good decision to call mw too. You have a very good case for what you are asking for esp armed with ejt?s guidelines! Try to look after yourself this weekend?
Karlou ? I don?t think its weird to use that name if you and dh both like it. If you are worried about upsetting your brother maybe ring and tell him but I would probably tell him rather than ask him unless you are prepared to not use it if he says he doesn?t like the idea! Sure he will get over it if you have a good relationship even if he finds it weird at first?
Lissie ? not met you before but very thoughtful to pop in with your good wishes especially if you lost a baby due in Oct (which I am presuming from mump?s replies?) All the best to you too and good luck ttc.
OK so this is cying for longest post ever?. I had another really cr*p night?s sleep last night and although I tried to manage at work I ended up having to come home as I felt too sick to do any good. The sleep makes a massive difference in that for me. Tried sitting down for an hour, eating toast and drinking water all of which usually help but nothing did so had so come home. Feel better now after a couple of hours sleep. Fingers crossed I manage OK next week and thank goodness its my last week!
