Thought I'd better start the new thread before it was too late. Here we go!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

divedaisy · 25/03/2009 21:31

My MW told me the head was down, and I've noticed bump isn't stuck under my right ribs now - so maybe bump has dropped too. That would also correspond with the increase in pelvic pubic pain recently too.

EmmalinaC · 25/03/2009 21:32

Llare there's one of those dodgy hand car wash places near my work and they charge a fiver so I assume that's about the going rate. How long do you think it will take her? Minimum wage for under 18s is only £3.53 (not that I'm suggesting you pay her that!).

Am quite relieved to be reminded about the breathlessness by this thread. I got so out of breath earlier after climbing some stairs that I felt a bit panicky. Not looking forward to LO dropping though - am already getting up 4-5 times a night for the loo.

Divedaisy Surely you have to take it out to give birth?!

llareggub · 25/03/2009 21:36

Looby actually I think your reading is quite low. Do test yourself in an hour or so and have a snack if you feel you need one or if your reading falls any lower. If I fall under 4 I am at risk of hypo as I take insulin, I'm not sure if that advice applies to you as well. You might want to check with your nurse. I had a very low reading similar to yours once and it was due to me having wet hands when I tested, so the blood was diluted. When I dried them off properly I had a higher reading. Don't stave yourself!

Omlette and salad is great for a diabetic, but don't forget the slow releasing carbs. One of the mistakes I made in the beginning was to cut out carbs completely, but I risked falling low and going into hypo. Maybe add some sweet potato or something?

LoobyLou36 · 25/03/2009 21:36

divedaisy you were really brave going and having that done on your own - mind you I don't think I could have taken one of my friends with me

Momino · 25/03/2009 21:36

divedaisy, ... can't even fathom! (squirming uncomfortably) lol as 'assessed suitability' .

Jael, poor you. Hope you're feeling better and sending big hugs.

sausage, hope things went ok.

everyone else I hope you're ok.

dd2 fell at nursery resulting in a massive bump on the head. took he to A&E and all is well, thank goodness. in any case, have to make up for lost work time now so back to emails, etc.

llareggub · 25/03/2009 21:37

EmmalineC thanks for that. Maybe I'll stick to her quoted rate. I just feel guilty because the car is so big!

divedaisy I can't believe you had the guts to do that. I haven't even got the guts to go and have a professional hair removing job done down there!

LoobyLou36 · 25/03/2009 21:43

llare lower reading 3.7 so have just had a thin slice of date and walnut cake and a cup of tea

If I have the same sort of readings tommorrow should I ring the diabetic nurse do you think? She said if I had 3 high readings in a row to get in touch. My readings just seem high or low

FiKelly · 25/03/2009 21:46

divedaisy I'm squirming at the thought.. good on you for having the guts to go on your own.. I wouldn't have taken any of my pals either bit too personal and I'm quite a prude. I won't even go topless on hols in front of anyone I know except dh and ds!

momino glad dd is ok what a scare.

LoobyLou36 · 25/03/2009 21:49

went to relaxation class today at hospital out of 13 women there 11 are due between 1st-8th May going to be a busy few days in the delivery suites if we're all near our due dates

Also one women asked about the parentcraft classes we'd all signed up for, apparently the lady who was supposed to send out the notification letters out went on holiday and no one else sent them out. So parentcraft class was on the 21st March and I've missed it - hope I can get into another one

FiKelly · 25/03/2009 21:50

and thanks for doing the list too.

llareggub · 25/03/2009 21:58

Looby I think it is worth giving her a ring, but I also think it would be worth asking for the contact details of the hospital dietician, too. I've always been far more bothered about the high readings than the low readings, and in the beginning it is a bit experimental in terms of what works for you with food.

I was told my readings would go up overnight, and they do, and someone on mumsnet has told me that her GD started to get better when she was 33 weeks or so, so that could be what you experience without needing insulin.

emmabemmasmom · 25/03/2009 22:02

Don't know how to add myself to the list but I am having DD #2 due May 17th (also my birthday! wheyhey...not lol)
