Anyone who wants to, look me up by email, there's about 100000 Robyn Fraser on FB!! email is tee at Leyser Dot Org (usual formatting, of course).

If anyone is planning on seeing Star Trek before baby comes, bring a hanky! Don't want to spoil it, but the first 10 minutes are very emotional, especially to a very pregnant woman!

hiya think i have successfully set up a fb page my name is laura flynn not sure how many laura flynn's there are on fb so email is laura dot flynn at live dot com so you can find me that way...i think lol

DorisIsAPinkDragon · 17/05/2009 21:27

Oh it's so exciting, (or is it just me being VVVV nosy at everyone's FB pages)

V of all your photos, and ineed your ds is gorgeous.

Right I am going to be very virtuous and drag myself away from the computer to get a reasonable nights sleep (ha ha ha ha)

Night all.

lauraloo09 · 17/05/2009 21:30

silly question how do you add friends on fb?? I found you tee but could only send you a message i can't seem to find anyone else tho have requested to join mumsnet group

Tee2072 · 17/05/2009 21:36

laura I just sent you a friend's request. Once you get that and accept it, you can look at my friend's list and send requests to people who have given you their real names on here!

lauraloo09 · 17/05/2009 21:41

tee thank you can't seem to navigate my way round fb...such a rookie

Tee2072 · 17/05/2009 21:44

I also sent you some suggestions of people who are on this thread to friend. I am sure I missed someone though, because I am total crap at remembering real names!!

lauraloo09 · 17/05/2009 21:50

thanks again tee...here's hoping i am adding the right people lol

silkcushion · 17/05/2009 21:54

Laura and Tee - just found you both on fb. I'm acting like a rookie too Laura but have been a fb for a while now so no excuse

lauraloo09 · 17/05/2009 22:10

lauraloo09 · 17/05/2009 22:11

silk ignore that message i just found you

silkcushion · 17/05/2009 22:12

My name on Fb (and everywhere really other than here ) is Vivienne Whiting

silkcushion · 17/05/2009 22:12

too late - I've just outed myself to the whole of mn

Ineedmorechocolatenow · 17/05/2009 22:13

Oh my God blueberry what an arsehole of a doctor. Jeez. I don't have any experience, but I'm sure someone will be along in a bit to advise. I don't see my MW for another week so I can't ask.

Silk I'm on Tee's, Naat's, Doris' and Lauraloo's friends list. Look on their walls and and I'm a recently added friend. Initials are CA.

Doris - thank you for saying DS is gorgeous. I think he is, but then I'm completely biased!! Your two look gorgeous too (and I am very at the scenery in the background of your photo). I need a holiday!!

Well DS was born in a couple of hours last PG so I'm almost more pregnant than I've ever been.....

I really am going to bed now.... night all xx

Ineed - just ahd a very quick look at yr fb as I also intend to go to bed. Your ds is so gorgeous - and has a cow fixation I see?

Love yr fb profile pic - you look very yummy mummy - I look like a waddling heap now.

Ineedmorechocolatenow · 18/05/2009 08:10

Silk - absolutely. A complete cow obsession! DH's uncle breeds rare cattle (beef shorthorn) and I think it stemmed from there! He has a toy cow (Madame) who goes everywhere with him... sometimes it's more stress looking after the cow than it is looking after him. When we're out and about DH and I are constantly vigilant to make sure she stays in the buggy / car / his hand! Madame's husband (a bull from the same range) is DS's present from this little one and we've got him the calf too. Isn't it funny how they have little obsessions! I bet he'll be so mortified when he's 18 and we tell him that he used to sleep with a little plastic cow.....

Going to try to take DS to baby-gym this morning as I feel guilty that he's been cooped up all weekend with the foul weather. At least I just have to waddle behind him...

Lots of cramps and electric twangs (up the fanjo ) in the night. I had another crap night's sleep (5 and counting). I woke up twice choking with acid in my mouth that Gaviscon just didn't touch...... roll on labour!

Morning all! x

We have officially unleashed a monster!!! It's sooooooo exciting to have you on FB, Juners!! Last night I was out so I could only send messages and accept friend requests but now I'm going to be able to nose around

blue I don't see my MW until Friday, let's see if other Juners have appts before that. I can't believe what your doc is making you go through! I'm for you!! If no one has an appt soon, then I'll call mine and ask her.

bunny I've just added you.

tee I've sent you a msg.

Ineed We got FB when we left Arg. and started posting pics every week so that our family and friends could see a bit of our lives here It's much easier than sending pics to everyone, they just go on FB and see them or we send the link to those who aren't on FB. So sorry to hear it's your 5th night, hon I woke up twice last night but managed to go back to sleep after a while... I keep telling DH your LO's arrival is imminent (as you were early last time) so fingers crossed for that to happen (Oh, I looooove cows as well , so you DS and I share an obsession).

Lauraloo FB is addictive!

Hi Doris! Hope you had a good rest last night.

Right, let's nose around FB now read the news and have breakfast

bunnymother · 18/05/2009 08:47

Morning ladies!

Another night of disturbed sleep here, too. With a blood nose thrown in for good measure. Had a v good, social weekend, though - had people around for most of the weekend. It was my swan song to entertaining! Wonder if that's why I now have alarmingly swollen feet? Off to see GP soon, this morning, so will ask him. I prob better try and dab some paint on the toenails first...

FB update from me - have either requested you as a friend or sent you a message, those of you lovely Juners who have disclosed their names. My RL first name is Belinda, just so you don't get totally baffled by who I am. Too wary of the internet to say my last name...

Ineed - how adorable does your little DS sound??

Better run to get ready for GP visit, but wishing you all lovely mornings!!

Tee2072 · 18/05/2009 09:35

Good morning.

blue I see my OB tomorrow, but I am not really clear on what the question is? Can you reiterate for the slow girl

I've sent friends requests to everyone who has sent me a message. Now I just have to remember who is who!

Maternity leave is the best invention ever. Slept like crap from 2 - 5 then slept well from 5 - 9. Now I'm catching up on laundry and going to make some phone calls and then laze around all day! Have to be productive now, expect to be slatternly once LO arrives.

Everyone have a lovely day!

ermintrude13 · 18/05/2009 09:53

Facebook, Bebo, Twitter, what are these things? . I stick to good old-fashioned email. And pigeons. But glad you've found each other on the interweb!

Blueberry I don't know whether an internal is necessary - maybe someone who's had a CS and is investigating a vaginal delivery has some experience of this? - but is it possible to take your OH in with you? Doctors should be aware - male in particular - that some women find internals very uncomfortable and need some support.

Ineed I only take Gaviscon in the day now- after each meal - and then have a 300mg Ranitidine tablet which completely cures acid indigestion and heartburn right through the night - I'm so much better as a result. It's on prescription and widely used in pregnancy.

LittleSarah · 18/05/2009 10:10

Hey guys

I will look for some of you on facebook! I am Sarah Hunter-Argyle and am in Edinburgh if you want to find me... Right, have got some of you, couldn't find a Vivienne Whiting but I'm assuming I'll find your through other Juners!

Bit better this morning but still bit sickly and getting crampy pains in my pelvis.

Naat - I also wondered about labour with the diarrhea but yes I think I am just paranoid!

Right, I am going to totally fail to catch up as I must try and do work!

Ineedmorechocolatenow · 18/05/2009 11:22

Thanks ermintrude - If I have a night with the acid stuff again, I'll make an emergency appointment at the docs to get some of those tablets!

DS had a fab time at Baby Gym and now I'm blardy knackered!

Been nosing at everyone's photos on FB. It's so great to put faces to names.... or two names in this case. I'm finding it hard with my fuddled-pregnancy-baby-brain to remember who is who!

Tee2072 · 18/05/2009 11:41

effie just put in her Facebook that she's at hospital in labour and being monitored!! We may have our first baby, ladies!!

Naat · 18/05/2009 11:44

OH MY GOD!!!

I just saw it, tee!!! LO is coming!!!!

Naat · 18/05/2009 11:45

Well, might be coming, we don't know yet
