I am alive. just.
Good luck today Pepper. You wont see this until after now but I'm sure it will all be over quickly.
Right first up Star. What on earth are you playing at? Please get a coil or an implant or something. I would say that as you had a negative test the chances of an early loss are small. Not impossible though but please dont add it to all the other things you have to worry about at the moment. I say these things with love.
CSWS crickey a few weeks and you will join the I have three children and I cant remember when I last washed my hair or brushed my teeth brigade. At last the baby has turned. Or did the MW get it wrong. Surely you would feel a baby turn at 36 weeks?(ouch)
Good luck lady.
Pistachio your DD is very clever riding her bike and also Ds for using the balance bike. I am getting one for W for his birthday (which is very soon)
I would also get rid of the nappies. I have started my campaign with W but so far he doesnt seem to be understanding the whole wee in the loo not on the floor concept. Oh well this way I get a new floor quicker
Myjob are you better? You are in the battle zone at the moment. Tiredness makes it all much worse as well.
50ft. How are you? Survived the half term ok? Only a few weeks until summer hols
Ekka, poorly boy. It is horrible when you are helpless to make it better. The meds will kick in soon and you wil get your happy boy back.
CF, did you say a while ago you are using the Persona sticks? If so are you ov'ing regularly? TTC get ridiculous doesnt it. The best advice for me was to not think about it too much. Let go and you will conceive. I also found going out and getting smashed works wonders too
HMM. You must be knackered. Are those hours compulsory or can you cut down? Please take care of yourself.
Ksal. Was it you who asked about Febrile convulsions? If not then ignore this
The best thing to do is to keep a poorly child cool, which is obvious but if it is due to high temp alone then not much you can do to prevent it other than keep 2 hourly dose of alternate Paracetamol and Ibuprofen.
If a baby/child goes into a fit then the best thing to do is cool flannel to back of neck, open all windows, strip down to all bare skin (including nappy as wet nappy is hot) and just keep them safe.
If it goes on for more than a min call an ambulance. Dont bother with NHS direct, they will just phone for ambulance but will take longer to get the call through.
If baby seems lethargic after a fit I would also get them to A&E. Especially if temp is still high.
The most important thing to do is to try and get temp down quickly. No cold baths. The shock is not very good.
Now I have lectured I shall go again.
The children are all being very challenging in their own separate and special ways.
Either way I really need a holiday. Alone. In silence.
