Scrappy, so sorry to read your update...I wish you a quick recovery, both emotionally and physically, and better luck next time...
LeadyEmma - keeping my fingers crossed and sending you good vibes...hopefully everything will be ok, but really feeling for you dealing with this without your dh for support
Claire - sorry you're feeling so blue, remember its the hormones....
Woofie - congrats on finishing...and not throwing up during your exams!
Perfect Baguette - I know that some people, if they are being really super picky about not eating uncooked fish, also avoid smoked salmon. I think generally if fish is 'cured' (pickled, smoked, whatever) its regarded as ok, as the main risk is the bacteria that can be found in insufficiently chilled or treated raw fish. According to a friend of mine who researched this fully a while ago, even sushi is ok as long as the fish has been stored at below -22 Centigrade, which (apparently) is what all good Japanese sushi restaurants do, as this also kills any harmful bacteria. Very amused at your train story ...you definitely need to get that form from your GP and exercise your right to an upgraded seat next time!!
GibberingGinger That sounds like something I would do....although I don't think I ever actually got back to to normal after my "pg brain" the first time around
Actually managed some work today but am sooooo tired. Haven't thrown up yet but am feeling distinctly queasy a lot of the time...trying to work out whether this means anything since I felt like this with my first (ds) and was much sicker with my second (dd). Of course it may be that the ms won't actually kick in properly for another week or two anyway....as fair as I can remember (and it is quite hazy!), it was around week 8 or 9 that it got really bad with dd....so still time!!
