Kay that is awful, as Diege says though it is up to you how much of a stink you'd want to kick up.

MW has just rang, bloods are all normal, so I have to go back for BP check on Tuesday, and just 'see how the wee thing turns out' Not exactly overly helpful, but it is good to know there isn't anything urgent amiss.

kayzisexpecting · 16/10/2008 11:32

Good about your bloods Nat.

I don't think they would really care about me kicking up a stink. They tend to just ignore things like that.

tinkisgoingtohaveapumpkin · 16/10/2008 11:58

hi

we went to town dd had a great time walking around. they have new rides in the centre which is great she had a go on a thomas roundabout one.
i bought a 2009 calender a rachel hale cat one .
went into library and dd chose some books
it is freezing outside

diege - poor you waking up int he night
glas- poor you with sickness @ least it is getting better after last week
nat - ye for blood results
kay- work is being ridicolous being signed off sounds like a great idea)

Diege · 16/10/2008 14:35

Hi TINK - sounds like you had a good trip into town . It's freezing here too, with heavy showers (ready for school run, natch).
Good news on bloods Nat . Are you noticing that the spatone is having much of an effect?
Right, off to get dds. Tried a nap but minute head hits pillow I'm wide awake again

SesHasapinkline · 16/10/2008 14:40

Kay - I agree with the others. One of the pharmacists that works for me was pg last year and complained about fatigue and aching legs so we ordered in a chair and padded floor matting for her. They have an obligation!!

NJ - glad bloods came back ok. Did you get a BP monitor?

Hope everyone else is ok too

Just had a nice sleep on the sofa. Hopefully it means I won't be to bad at work today.

I've just changed DS's nappy and honestly 1 minute later he has done a poo. Why do they do that?????

lardybump · 16/10/2008 16:41

evening everyone.

I had a scare yesterday. I started bleeding at lunch time and called midwife who asked me to go straight to labour ward. While there they did lots of tests (including a speculum which was not nice) and found that I have ectropion cells on the neck of my womb. However the womb is still closed so the baby is fine. I also have a water infections so am on anti biotics again.

We are back home now and have been told to take it easy so dp is cutting his hours at work for a while to help out. I really hope this is my 3 bad things now and that I can move on to nicer times.

I am going to go and catch up on the days news. Hope you are all well!!!

Diege · 16/10/2008 17:11

That must have been really scary LB. So glad you've got ther all-clear and baby is fine. I think the bleeding you describe is quite common in pregnancy (read about it somewhere). Wagon orders to taek thinsg easy! Any news on your maternity entitlements yet?

lardybump · 16/10/2008 17:41

Still awaiting to hear from payrol but I am 99% sure I am right and that they will have to pay it. I am not going to stress about it because if they say no I will just check with CAB. I will be entitled to MA if not from government so will have some money over the period!!!

How are you feeling??

tinkisgoingtohaveapumpkin · 16/10/2008 18:37

poor you lb you rest with a blanket, tv and choccies

Diege · 16/10/2008 19:37

I am 100%b sure you are right LB . I'm fine thanks; extremely tired with early wakings, but good.
TINKS prescription sounds a good one for you!

SesHasapinkline · 16/10/2008 21:23

LB - must have been v worrying but good that they've investigated. Take care of yourself.

Well I've had a mini stress this evening when I got home from work. DH has set up some proper fencing to enclose the back garden - concrete posts and everything. Our 2 dogs are left in the backgarden whilst we're at work and they have access to a bit of the garage where their bed and toys are.
Anyway, when I got home only one of them appeared! I decided the other may be asleep so checked the bed and she wasn't there. I tried calling her and looked round the garden but couldn't see her. I couldn't see how she could have escaped and started to think the worst so spent the next 20 mins going round the garden with the broom looking under shrubs, by compost piles and in all the corners. I was really worried I was just going to find her body. I phoned DH and he came straight home and suggested in the meantime I walk up the road and check with the neighbours. Our closest neighboyrs were out but then I heard this barking and found her locked in the front porch of the house diagonally opposite ours. There was no one home and I couldn't get to her but was so relieved to have found her.
The owners of the house were home about an hour later and turns out our dog had dug through under one of the fence panels and the nice lady opposite (who happened to be a vet nurse!) saw her in the street and took her in!

I'm sorry I know it was such a mini drama and I've rambled on about it but that half hour where I couldn't find her was really scary!

If anyone wants me I'm over on the wagon AN thread. I think I'll pack up and camp there for the duration. Seems more appropriate somehow given that everyone I know is now duffed.

cantwaitforxmas · 16/10/2008 23:00

NJ - sorry you are having such a worrying time.
Ses - glad you found your dog! We had a little escape artist of a puppy and I know how worrying it is when they disappear.

Hope everyone else is fighting off the horrid colds and bugs and the MS goes away soon.

Well I have just taken the final pill out of the pack I was on and I am not going to be starting a new one. We are still going to be using condoms until xmas but this feels like a step in the right direction- yipee!

kayzisexpecting · 17/10/2008 07:38

Morning!

LB, sorry you had a scare. You make sure you have plenty of rest.

Ses, I'm glad you found your dog. I had a similar thing with my cat(well mums) a few years ago and it was horrible.

YAY!!! A week and a half off work now!! Which will be spent packing and cleaning. Or supervising as that is what DH says I have to do. No lifting of anything except the kettle he said!!

GYo · 17/10/2008 08:22

Morning all! nearly needing a new thread again here!

Good luck with supervising the packing Kay!

Ses- what a worry about the dogs- glad you found her in the end

CWFXmas- great news about the pill- definately a step in the right direction to start getting it out of your system! and lots of time to practise GOFing!

Nat- how are you feeling?

Diege · 17/10/2008 09:33

Morning . Bit panicky there with mumsnet offline till 9.15 . Hope everyone is well - glad you found the dog SES - what a relief! Hi SORKY, I must pop over and have a look in the antenatal wagon suite..hopefully can stay for a bit longer now!
Great newsw XMAS - you must be feeling very excited - maybe you'll have news by Xmas??
KAY, yay for your hols - you must force yourself to take things easy!
Morning GYO, how are things?
Well, better night for me last night. Still woke at 2.45. 4.30, 5.30 etc, but managed to get back to sleep so don't feel too bad. Boobs have also gone a lot more sore, plus woke with horrible metallic taste in mouth, so happy with that!
Off to jo jingles class with dd3, then need to tidy up after cockatiel. He's very sweet, but doesn't half make a lot of mess!

GYo · 17/10/2008 09:37

Morning Diege
That sounds like a rough night... hope you are not to tired today. Didnt know you had a cockatiel. Thats very cool- bet the DDs love that Yay for the symptoms too. Nothing like sore boobs for re-assurance!

Things are good with me thanks for asking. SOoooooo glad its friday. Keep thinking I've got a huge bump then realise its bloating too so not so big. Which is a relief because the bloatedness feels tight and horrid!

Enjoy Jingles class (not quite sure what it is but it sounds fun!)

Diege · 17/10/2008 09:42

The cockatiel was a 'distraction' from the lost cat, but he's only just now started to get tame enough for the dds to be interested. He's only a baby (11 weeks)and is so cute - will crouch down so you can scratch his neck, and also likes kisses etc...bit scary with that beak!
I'm sure your bump will pop out soon - remember the bloating feeling well (in fact I don't think it's ever gone away!).

Looking forward to Corrie tonight - they have it on the local Asda on a big screen too, it's that important round here

GYo · 17/10/2008 09:47

Does the cockatiel have a name - sounds so cool!

LOL about Asda showing Corrie- thats devotion!

GYo · 17/10/2008 09:53

Diege- remind me when you GP appt is? is it on Monday?

Diege · 17/10/2008 09:59

Yep, Monday it is GYO . Nicely arrnaged so that it's not worth going into work

Diege · 17/10/2008 10:00

Oh and cockatiel is called Harvey (dds' choice). They also liked 'Billy Baker' but settled for Harvey in the end. Dh thought immediately of Jordan's son!
Right, off to brave PO before class, speak later x

tinkisgoingtohaveapumpkin · 17/10/2008 10:50

Diege · 17/10/2008 12:16

Hi TINK! Sounds like you're gettign dd's waking sorted. That's what we did, keep on putting them back in, minimum talking, and then I think they think there's no point as they don't get attention for it. Would be good to have it sorted for dd2
Have just spotted a crawling nit on dd3's head . Seems like the stuff we put on last week needs doing again!
