Due December 09 - Fluttering Tums and Excited Mums...

New Thread before the old one fills up.

Has anyone any idea how long it should take for antibiotics to start having any effect on an ear infection? Am in a lot of pain, as is in both ears, i cant hear due to lots of fluid, and paracetamol are only taking the edge off the pain. Ive been to my dr,s twice in four days, been taking ab,s and steroid eardrops for almost three days now, but no change at all.

It's about 3 days, thats how long it takes your 'killer' cells to find the bad ones iyswim

Poor you sounds horrid.

Hope you're better soon

We've got about 46 posts left till we need a new thread...any ideas for a title?

Due in Dec: counting down until the Xmas puddings arrive???

Due in Dec: waiting for Santa's little helpers???

Due in Dec: who can't wait for the mulled wine???

I like the puddings one.

Mmmm Christmas pud.

I prefer advent calendars or selection boxes!!!!! I am getting the baby one just so I can eat it ..... but only a Cadburys dairy milk one..... other choc is rank!!!

I like the first one too-'counting down until the Xmas puddings arrive'.

Ear infection almost on its on its way out, thank goodness

Cant believe that on Tuesday i,ll be 3/4 of the way through, 10 weeks to go!! Eek!!

Just ordered DS's new Big Boy bed so we can move him into his new room next weekend and he can get settled in before his sister arrives

anniebpants - happy that you're geting better.

Anyone else getting organised for xmas? In the next weeks I'll get the pressies & wrap them up. Also the stockings sorted out.

We will be doing Xmas very soon, we have 4dc to buy for so need to get it done very soon!

Taking dc to the woods today, dd loves leaves at the mo so will put her in wellies and run around. DH making fish pie for tea today, a la Hugh F-W.

Im going to start Xmas shopping soon,want to get everything wrapped and put away in plenty of time.

Enjoy the woods Scorps, its a lovely sunny day here, im just prepping a nice big roast then we off out to the park, let DS run off some of his tireless energy.

I'm going to start next month. Just as soon as we have the bedrooms swapped over else I'll have nowhere to hide anything.

Got to start getting some stuff in for bump too and get all the baby clothes out of the loft and washed.

Such a lot to do!

Have had a headache all day

Am drinking loads and hope it's gone by tomorrow

No headache today but I have already been sick

Had my usual Teacakes and Orange Juice then was sick about half an hour later. Am a little worried as I also had spots before my eyes but I think that was down to being sick.

If the spots or the headache come back, I'm phoning the midwife!

Just texted DH to tell him I'd been sick and that when I came back from being ill, I found DS playing with the cloth he had used to clean the poo off the cockatiel's cage - which I tried to bin immediately afterwards but he insisited on keeping so he could use it again before she goes back next week. We agreed he could keep it if he put it out of the way. He left it on the bottom of the trolley her cage sits on!! - and got the reply back "could be worse"

Grrr, all I wanted was a little sympathy!

Have had a letter from my Doctor offering flu jabs and am now trying to decide whether to go for it or not. What have you lovely ladies decided?

GS - Poor you are you still home alone? My DH always leaves me to struggle through as well.

No, no flu jab (S.Flu jab) for me.

Yes Scorps, still home alone but I've managed to keep lunch down so I think maybe bump was just playing football with my stomach this morning.

Was horrible though and has left me with a sore throat

I won't be having the flu jab. As far as I undertand it, swine flu is currently no worse than normal flu and the majority of people are getting very mild cases. Any deaths are no more than would be expected from normal flu. I know both adults and babies who have had it and been fine. It worries me that the vaccine won't have been tested on pregnant women and could potentially do more harm than the flu too.

DS isn't school age and I am a SAHM so we can keep ourselves pretty isolated if needs be. The jab scares me, I won't be having it and neither will DS.

i don't think I will have the injection if i am offered it...
hope everyone is ok. been feeling very tired today

Got my blood test tommorrow to try to work out why I've been feeling so sick and dizzy all the time.

I have a feeling they're going to say "because your pregnant"

I'm glad my babies look like theyre going to be taller than short-arse little old me but it does make them harder to carry!!

Hi GoldenSnitch just seen your thread on the names page - we are having same issue. thoughtwe had a name sorted, but DH has now discounted it for good. back to the drawing board!

We are still having name issues, between Lacey and Maisie. No middle name ideas, though we are easy going on middle names really. I wish someone would just say 'X is her name'. I prefer Lacey, DH prefers Maisie, but dd1 is Millie and i fear Maisie and Millie is a bit 'twee'.

hi guys im new on here,been posting on another site but can get a little quiet sometimes.my names claire im due with 1st baby on 13th december,had a m/c 2 years before i fell pg with this one.dont know what we're having,as my mum says ill have what god gave me!!just wanted to introduce myself will post again soon,and keep reading your posts if you dont mind!
