Nutty - the TRADESMEN's entrance?? "Go round the back - there's a luv"... tee hee hee...

I do think it's in resaleable condition.

Boffin - ebay?

Kitty - yay for HB i havent even got my form for MA yet, though they said it takes 4 weeks to process and send out (lazy buggers) must chase!!

Boff - you're the Queen of the TENS Machine - which is the best one to go for? I like the idea of one with a Boost button to up the love when a contraction hits... any suggestions?

Hey all! Just checking in before I go back to check up on you all! Hope every one is good.
Just realised I am 34 wks tomorrow which means my due date twin Barbarella is too! Has she check in recently? Wonder if her c-section is 34 weeks to the day! If not at some point this week?

PhysioMed TPN 200 plus

It's hospital grade and it has got everything you need, such as boost. It is half the price of the pastel coloured maternity ones on sale/hire (costs around £34 and I believe if you hassled you could get the VAT back, as it is for personal medical use).

Can I recommend a spare set of electrode pads and a spare 9v battery so you can use it in the last week or two as well?

Boff's machine

Springy - your photos are great, you look so beautiful and happy.

Girls really the thread was meant to be clean! lol re plumbers !

yay for money kitty!

BB - am having really painful BH too. Always after I have done too much or no nap. Really thought that lo was coming two on Sunday night. Was so painful, memories of labour that I keep saying I have forgotton came flooding back. Eased off though and slept. Went crazy shoppping yesterday to get ready - spent £100 on clothes!

Mat Leave started officially yesterday after half term, but was actually taching my A Level class in afternoon, nice and easy but so made the best decision finishing now. Mathsmummy you so need to stop work at 36weeks if not before!

PIL coming today - so best clean the house a llittle and have a sleep or a just won't cope. Catch up this eve.

Thanks Boff! That's why we love you!

Boff - two more quick TENS questions before I checkout...

Do I need the gel?
What size electrodes should I get?

Thank you!!

HI everyone!

just 2 quick things:

1. you have all infiltrated my DREAMS now! Boffin decided to go get married as well and something else that i can't remember (keep in mind that in my dream I was reading the thread. seriosuly, i need a life!)

and 2. I am blaming you all for my current arse pain. the chiar by my PC doesn't do my pelvis any favours and i have to sit here for HOURS just to catch up with everything from you lot!!

as a side note, i phined for another physio appt. the physio who i had seen (who wasn't very nice when i saw her) answered the phone and when i told her i needed another appt she said 'why? we gave you a belt."
wow. she must love her job.

BTW - congrats Springy! and where are said pcitures?????? is this a facebook thing? i'm in the MN group under the surname purplemonkey....

Hi Purplemonkey - Will you be joining our buddy system?

Purple - are you joining our buddy sytem??? xx

lol jinx

Boff - Good idea, i'm going to set DH up so he can maybe come on here.

Lulu - We be buddies.

Purplemonkey, that's like a dentist saying "Why? You have toothpaste."

I think you may have confused the physio with someone who gives a fuck.

KittyCat, you do not need the gel as the pads are self-adhesive.

I have just noticed you get three packs of pads with it, so you probably won't need more, but if you do, they are TPN40 at £4.95 plus VAT. They also have some for sensitive skin but I found they didn't stick very well.

He he he - Puzzle & Smutty relentless in their quest to sort out the buddy system!

Go girls!

Just wondering - anyone drinking Raspberry leaf tea yet? I think I started quite early last time, but can't remember when.

Hi Puzzle - yes, I just got Nutty's e'mail .

Do you mind if I give DH your number to text too in case I am too shattered post birth to remember what way up I am, let alone where my mobile is.

I know really not sure what they will do with there time when the Buddy system is complete !

LuLu I am starting all the remedies from March 01 so will be investing in everything this week in preparation!

Purple did they actually give you an appointment?

Hi Oddeyes. Take it easy.
No word from Barb yet.

Lulu - Please do.

Raspberry leaf tea. Hmm, I think 4 weeks before my due date.

Hope Barbarelly is OK.... she's been quiet for an awfully long time... maybe we scared her off??

I blame the plumber-porn for scaring people off!!!

I just had a scoot around and Barbarelly last posted in Feb - it's very likely she has gone in either for delivery or monitoring as her LO's were growing so well and I know she was planning on a CS in the first week of March which isn't very far away. They probably couldn't wait to come out! Fingers crossed all is ok and all three together in one hospital x

Purple I would say the physios attitude warrants a call to her manager or someone further up the line. Absolutely not on.

BB - am trying to inventory the things I need at the moment and where / when to get them. March 1 sounds sensible. I am thinking I may give up chocolate for lent and take up Raspberry Leaf Tea instead.

[Hmm] just remembered there is a whole pack of yummy chocolate chip biccies in the kitchen. Would be a tall order to polish them all off today.

Just discovered the bottom spray and cream is available on Amazon - there was also an option to buy "used" - not sure I want to go there.

Oh I hope they manage to find space for all 3 of Barbarelly's babies in the same hospital. I'm sure she will find a way to get in touch with news eventually.
