Hey peeps back and catching up! Slightly more chilled until the next bloody event...
Mickey your mum will understand, think it's the hormones make us occasionally psycho. Also agree with the Matalan thing - got some great stuff from there including super comfy yoga pants. So far best bets have been Matalan and H&M, New Look stuff is nice but their trousers are really bizarre.
Bella it's always good reading really honest stuff about BFing. When time comes I'd really like to do it but determined not to beat myself up if it doesn't work out.
Orange you have a lovely bump! :o
Livvy I'm sure your mum will come round and will want to do the 'girl talk' thing - or at least give totally unsolicited advice a la mums everywhere :)
Zoe if you think peeps are sun deprived in SE England try living up here - underbelly of fish comparison very apt for most people in NI too :o And the booze thing is interesting. I don't drink much anyway, mainly because DH doesn't drink and I hate throwing away half a bottle of wine. Last few weeks I've been having roughly a (generous) glass of wine a week because of being at dinners etc. Half superstitious writing that after events this morning but they will be entirely unrelated.
London jealous you got freebie vits - I did ask if we got them at first antenatal appt but alas no. I've managed to get them when they're on offer mostly :)
October thanks for reassurance this morning, glad your bleeding resolved. It really is common isn't it?! One of our lovely office ladies was all worried this morning when I phoned in and said she had bleeding throughout with one of hers, never got to bottom of it etc.
Dame hope your MW appt went well, sympathy on the aches and pains too. I've had lots of 'pressure' feelings although ironically they have eased off, maybe things are lifting up a bit? Will def look at your link!
Haggis was just looking at those doppler things yesterday as they sound cool! And Haggis, London, Confusion - got my MW appt on Thurs so no help to you all but hopefully you will tell me what to expect before then :o
Fjord sending sympathy on the money front. Maybe you could write a book or some articles about being a 'furriner' in Norway?! You're really brave moving there, hope DP is supporting you. It's a big step - a good friend moved (just from England to Dublin!) when she got married and she found it hard because of leaving a good job and basically struggling to get any work for a while. She settled eventually though :)
Thank you all again for your kindness earlier - it really meant a lot. I have decided this bean is just going to have to behave itself and stop giving me bizarre symptoms. And also agree London that 'Dr' Google is sometimes not a friend in these situations!
Night night peeps x
