Hello Dundee and surrounding areas!

[Klaw]

Hello MNetters!

Anyone live local?

Tayside, Angus, Perth & Kinross, North Fife?

thank you Klaw. I have kind of come to accept the fact that there is nothing I can do about this and will just need to wait until they see me again in 3wks - as long nothing happens inbetween.

dh on mammoth shift today so had the girls myself but we've kept busy and they've been good bless them - he let me have a lie in too this morning which is always gratefully received

I HAVE however poked myself in the eye so its red swollen and massive - no wonder the girls are behaving they're too frightened to do anything else lol

klaw - any ideas which anti-histimen I can take, I know you're allowed a certain type in pg but I can't remember which ones?

randon question I know but nobody on pg topics seems to know!!

Chlorpheniramine is what I used, iirc, after I suffered beyond endurance trying not to take anything. You can check all drugs at that site. I believe that any drugs that seem to have good history of not causing problems are considered OK to take if benefits outweigh any potential risk.

Ask to speak to pharmycist (sp) and get any prescription double checked so that you are relatively happy to take it.

HTHs

have taken a very low does of piriton as couldn't see out of eye and dd1 is being sick tonight of course so really needed not to be poking about my own eye and freaking her out.

it has helped and won't be taking it on a regular basis it was just for today's incident - serves me right helping to blow up balloons for friends' ds party and then rubbing my eye - from now on they can blow up their own balloons!!!

anyone know of any antenatal yoga classes round here?

could do with all the help I can get this time round lol

ScottishSusan how are you? What's happening?

[worried emoticon]

DizzyDixies, I don't know of any but you could try asking Tayview Yoga is any of their classes would be suitable

What about AquaNatal? Ask your mw what's local to you.. I went during my last pg and loved it! Being supported by water is fabulous and I was frequently found cycling round the local swiming pool using my Noodle and doing the excercises from aqua natal class, I didn't care what anyone else thought!

thanks klaw, will give it a look. I love swimming and can often be found fighting off greenpeace who think am trying to beach myself at the local pool am just not so sure at the moment when still bleeding and meant to be taking it easy. will be back as soon as mw gives me the green light. thought mayby yoga might supple me up for hopefully a more uneventful birth!

Hello

I'm here - just went to ground for a few days!!

Had an awful weekend trying to work out what to do for the best and still didn't know when I went to hospital yesterday morning and met the fetal medicine team.
They were fabulous - very reasuuring! They explained the risk factors again and although I have a risk of 1 in 236 it is twice as good as the norm for my age - pretty good then

Anyway then they said I would be given a detailed scan and they would look for any soft markers - and although they in themselves give no guarantees it could aid my decision!

Well the scan was fabulous - so crystal clear and the sonographer and doctor and fetal medicine midwife explained every structure and measurement. There were absolutely no soft markers none

And I am having a little girl

Well by then both dh and I were grinning and I was crying and we both knew we couldn't risk this precious little thing with an amnio.

I am feeling so much happier and relieved and if anything should be wrong well she's mine and that's all that matters!!

Take care all!! Oh scan picture is on my profile if you want to take a look!!

YEAH!!!!!!!! Look at wee pink mini scottish susan!!! Thats fantastic news, am delighted for you. Am sorry to have to ask but your kids names are somewhat unisex (lovely) so what do you have already!??! Are Taylor and Mckenzie boys as well or wee girls? If its all boys you have this is going to be the most looked after/protected wee girl in the world and lordy help any boys that come calling lol

klaw I emailed them and a very nice lady emailed me straight back with a couple of names of people who might help - they also have a class for primary kids in our local church hall which I didn't know about so dd1 will be getting signed up for that when she starts school in August!

susan step AWAY from the much pinkness in babygap!! lol

Hi
Stefan is ds age 15
Jaydan is ds age 13
Ciaran is ds age 10
Taylor is dd age 5
Mackenzie is ds age 2

So 1 more girl - dd is delighted!!

I can imagine!! 4 big brothers is still a daunting thing for potential suitors though lol

Reading your latest posts, ScottishSusan and Dizzydixies, has made me very

Everything is sounding great! I'm feeling so happy for you both.

klaw to be honest I don't have a sodding clue what is going on and am worried am a bit of a ticking time bomb with this membrane seperation BUT I am happily doing as I'm told and sitting on my backside, slowly becoming addicted to mumsnet instead of doing my college work, and trying not to worry about things I have no control over. Time will tell

now, back to thinking about babynames for minipinkscottishsusan.......................

Thanks so much dizzydixie - thinking of you and have fingers crossed for you !

lol xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Obviously DizzyDixies, I am not happy that you are still having to rest with no real answers yet, but the fruits of your enquiries into Yoga is what makes me very happy.

Didn't mean to sound like I was disregarding your current baby worries....

klaw am sorry I never meant you to think that was what I was meaning, am being rather flippant about it in hope if I don't start worrying about it, it can't be real and therefore have just been given green card to become futher addicted to mumsnet and sit lardy bum on sofa ignoring piling up housework lol

am going to see gp next week as I can't sit like this indefinately and would like to go back in pool, if even for a float and maybe yoga - everything to help with birth!

positive thoughts and planning in my books!

Hello, Dixie sent me here, I am from Fife

No Dizzydixies, I didn't think that you thought I was being insensitive, it's just that when I read back my post I thought it could be read as that, so wanted to make sure that you understood.

Please don't worry about me!

Actually, I know you are supposed to rest while they figure out if all is OK or not but I can't see how a gentle float in a pool could harm.... providing any bleeding has stopped. Whatever you can do to relax is what is important now, and not dwell too much on what may or may not happen. If there is anything I can do to help on that front, please don't hesistate to ask!!! OK?

thank you klaw all greatly appreciated - are you handy with a hoover and or iron?!?

welcome welcome welcome louii
where abouts in fife are you?

Hi Louii & welcome! We are fairly growing now!

Hope you are well dizzydixies & taking things easy.

AND

WooHooo for mini pinkyscottishsusan!!! So pleased for you

Welcome Louii.

Hope you pregnant ladies are looking after yourselves!

Yes dizzydixies, I can hoover and iron! I can bring dd over and she can do the dishes!

Seriously, if you would like an online friend to pop over and do a few chores and have a wee natter, please ask! No strings, just friendship. OK? Email me if you want to...

ah bless thank you so much, will keep it in mind

and thankgoodness you went onto fife post on chat and gave them all proper directions lol

[stern face] you'd better do a bit more than just keep it in mind.....
