cote I think your obs had a silly idea with the diet! I gained 25kg twice and my babies were 3.825kg and 3.650kg (in that order), so your 17kg is perfectly OK. I always thought 15kg is normal average weight gain anyway, so you were only 2kg above that. I do the same thing too: growing in spurts. I'm the same weight for ages and then suddenly I swell up. I'm fearing for 32 weeks to come, because that's when most of my weight gain happened before. I think I was doing about 1-1.5kg a month up til then and then the other 15kg came on after 32weeks . No idea why.
Still not sure about taking your own ABX in though, there's a huge problem with resistance because of people taking them when they're not needed and there are so many kinds that you might be taking one kind, but the infection you get is actually caused by a bacteria that is sensitive to another kind and so your ABX would do absolutely nothing for fight your infection. I think one of those hospital hygiene kits that were posted before should work just as well + asking staff about hand hygiene, which you're entitled to ask anyway, encouraged even with the 'Wash your hands' campaign.
fi Gosh you're handy. When I try making things it never looks anything like the picture! Good luck detsy with the cow costume.
chocbunnies I completely understand how lack of sleep can make you feel. Any chance you can have a nap today? Hope you feel better soon.
Ah, pancake day. I forgot about that. We've used all our eggs and the chickens have laid only 1. The dcs will ask for pancakes too. Hmmm, maybe I'll just have to pretend that everyone is wrong and we'll have some tomorrow, by which time the chickens should have produced a few more eggs. I refuse to buy eggs now we've got our very own.
I've got my annual supervisory meeting with my supervisor of mw today. I've only ever had 1 when I was very newly qualified and so I have no idea what to expect, I'm a bit nervous especially because my supervisor happens to be our head of midwifery and she's a bit scary!
