I?m obviously not logging on often enough! I wonder if we?ll manage to beat our ten-day record? I?ve had two days where I have spent most of the day baby-mooning, but as she?s had a cold we have definitely needed it as I?ve not been sleeping trying to keep her upright.
NN-MW comes out today and we find out if it?s going to be a trip into hospital for a jaundice check. She is still a little yellow and sleepy but she is going in the right direction.
Well done Pluto, hope baby stays that way for you.
Questionkid there?s not much that can ever be done about PGP, but just comfort yourself with you don?t have much longer with it as it goes after ten days, I?ve even heard some people say they suddenly realised they?re walking around the ward and not in pain as soon as they get up. Your BP doesn?t sound that high, I?ve been around there and no one has ever questioned it and I?m at risk of clotting! There is a name for the BP being higher at the GP ? ah MS said the name, I couldn?t remember. It?s rather common, so much so that some surgeries have self-testing machines in the reception, as it will get a more accurate result. My ambulance trainer can only ever get one accurate reading as her BP rises afterwards so if they mess up it goes up each time, apparently she had a time when they weren?t able to get a reading on her and kept doing it, her husband had to tell them to stop. MrsY, do you think that could be your problem?
Littlesez, don?t worry about swearing on FB, our group is hidden so they won?t see it. The blocked nose is common during pregnancy, extra blood making vessels swollen. Fanjo is an MN saying, you?ve obviously never spoken about the right things elsewhere before!
Glad to see you?re home Ooogs! Shall we make our own exclusive club over on Postnatal yet?
MamaGoose, I know exactly what you mean! When you?ve been expecting to go early it makes the last weeks of pregnancy very long and having no end date makes it worse! Once I?d got past Tink?s birthday I would have been glad to have had Fifi out, I?m so glad it?s all over now.
America, Mum got me a nice nightshirt in Primark that buttons down the front, I think she paid £8 for it. Mothercare tend to have a lot of maternity nightwear, although it can be expensive.
We?ve not had Tink?s hair cut yet, I kept it pinned back until it was out of her eyes and now her fringe is almost shoulder length. TBD and my mum want me to get it cut but she has curly hair and I don?t think that it will suit being cut to one length and as it?s only just passed her shoulders I don?t think there?s enough for it to be styled. I think I?m going to get it done around her birthday to give her another six months of growth before we start messing with it. LBB I think boys look lovely with long hair; ignore those comments!
Catstar, hope your LO is feeling better soon, that sounds awful
Herb, I?ve noticed a lot of little boys would look cute as girls lol
O&U I can?t get over no more babies this late into January! We?re past when some of us are getting to 38 weeks so you?d be expecting more electives and inductions already. I?d have had a baby on this thread if I hadn?t already had one, as I was due on Monday for my elective, does that count?
MS, £7 for an induction? Bargain! I wonder though how many people can manage to eat 7
MOS Tiger Balm is available over here; they do a few different ones. Some chemists sell it and I think Hawkins do.
Kazza, leave it all to him, tell him it?s not good for you at the gestation you?re at
Ow I have Fifi in my dressing gown and am starting to get that tell tale tingle!
