I will now make a huge idiot of myself...

[openerofjars]

...but that last BH made my eyes water. And the previous two weren't very comfortable, either.

Um. I have a surveyor coming round to the house on Monday and I also booked in to get my roots done for Monday afternoon.

We are trying to get DS through bath time and bedtime at the mo'.

And DH wants to go and get a takeaway after DS is in bed.

The house is in a state as well.

Look, this isn't a veery convenient time.

Okay, if things are kicking off, which I hope they aren't and bet they aren't now I've started a thread about it, how can I slow it down/stop it for a couple of days?

Wino, I have actual champagne in the fridge, dude. This baby is coming out tonight.

I'm so hungry. Could I have a biscuit?

Codeine phosphate syrup.

Starlight - What's the strength of it? If it's the 'usual' 25mg/5ml then it only depends on the reason for prescribing (opioid analgesic, antitussive, antidiarrhoeal) as to the dose. Low dose for coughs, higher dose for anti-d/pain.
For the avg adult probably 10ml (medicine spoon) 4 hours or longer apart generally the dosage is 15-60mg 4-6 hours apart diagnosis dependant.
but obvs I am not a Doctor or pharmacist I'm a vet nurse actually...so any fur you would like to own up about??

Jars!!!! Well done you (I wish that stopped sounding so darn patronising).

MW will have encouraging news I 'spect! I'd tell you good news for a Jubilee Biscuit

25mg/5ml.

Fecking enormous bottle. Store it in the top of my wardrobe coz has no safety cap and scared kids will get hold!

Pooh, jubilee biscuits.

Do you have a jubilee birthing outfit?

Do you think the midwives will string up bunting and be waving union jack flags from the sidelines?

i wish you luck openerofjars but reading this threat makes me think you know what you are doing

Hope you will share your final outcome with us on MN
xx

Delurking to mark place how exciting

What's the dose for labour

I told the mw I wanted gas and air early on and she told me to take codeine, but not how much!

Champagne ?

Yum.

Are you going to drink it in the pool whilst waiting for the placenta to come out?

I'm back! Go Jars!!! Puuuuuuuussssshhhh!!! 

Oh love, I'm so excited!

Well Starlight, as you are not intending to whelp 6-8 little babies then I don't know. I would say I would flipping well start with 60mg!! It's def in date though? Syrups can get ever so yukky if left too long and with evap etc concentration can be affected. Have a double-double check before you swig a hit from the bottle take a spoonful. If in doubt then they can prescribe you some more.

Give the MW a tinkle?

Jars - that champagne will be juuust right by the time JarsJnr gets here, no hurry, it needs to be crystal clear and colder than a witches nipple.

Yep. Only given couple few weeks ago. 2000ml of the stuff apparently for my 3yr old after her tonsilectomy.

No idea why they gave me so much.

Lurked all the way through, just told DH that I am distracted because I'm following a live birth thread.
Eew, don't understand that, he said! Boring old fart.
Jars you sound deeply gorgeous.
PomPoms waving here. x
Really exciting.

aha with my third, i was already 4cm when the MW got there but she said that was 'nothing' as was probs like that all the time due to me having two prev....

don't be disappointed if you aren't anywhere, quickly can change...

for the new baby

Ooooo

Ah, I'm on the . It's Fri night and the baby has finished his development anyhow!!!

We need red white and blue Pom Poms for this!!!!!!

Have you a Jubilee name jars?

Breathe. fabulously useful advice

Oooooo

One from me too! But probably not a shiny and mint out of box as Gnocchi's, being late to the crown party an' all!

Mine is goblin-made. Hard as nails.
