Discovery Home & Health

Nicnak, thanks for the reminder, just called - answering machine, everything out there is bloomin answering machines If I dont hear back today going to call Dr surgery and get them to sort it out, My DD getting worried when I cant stand up or am nearly in tears when I eventually do and try to walk

Good for you on Aquanatal - I ordered a yoga pregnancy DVD two weeks ago and still waiting so sure I will start at some point.... I think you should definately spend rest of pamering for you - helps baby too - well thats my excuse for foot rubs every night

Zoe you cheered me up telling me bout J-Lo being upset about her weight Im sure if I had all the celebs money I would look glowing in designer babywear too - well okay exagerating their - probably couldnt be bothered with the hassle

Jen, hows the wrists hon?? any better x

Rachael laughing at sonographers comments - my friend had her 20 week scan down in Peterborough a few months ago and was told the same thing - she felt like she was at school and had been told off

Lisa hope you feeling better hon and the bug has passed - nothing worse than feeling crap and knowing theres nothing we can take or do I do believe chocolate helps with ervything or is that just my excuse. x

Cheryl hows the headaches hon?? Hopefully better xx

Anyway better got make tooties lunch xx

hi ladies , just a quickie to say hello to everyone.
going to docs in half an hour, been to see mw and she says i might need antibiotics plus something to hydrate me,she took bloods and all that,yuk!!! im feeling really ill so hope you all well and speak soon i hope,


bye lisaxxxx

afternoon everyone!!

lisa- i really hope you feel better soon and the doc sorts you out. let us know how you get on! and take it easy.

teri- poor you sounds liek your hips are giving you some rite jip. mine aren't too bad oncce i get going and tey loosen up haha dh says i sound about 103 when i get up all the ooohhh's and ahhhh's. hope you get physio sorted soon. have you got friends or reli's from peterborough? the reason peterborough dont tell you the sex is because a few years back there was big problems with people of certain ethnicitys finding out the sex and if it wasnt what they had too have they were aborting. my argument was though for 75 quid the can find out through babybond so im sure it still goes on which i think is atricious.

zoe- i did winder if it might be too do with poppy rather than the baby. thing is shes such a bright litte girl and understands hings really well so im inclined to think it mite be the woofer going.

nik- as ive said b4 im so jelous of you getting to do aquantal my area is so crap for things like that. yay to getting your xmas bonus remember to pamper yourself aswell.

as for me well so much for me sayin i not feeling stanley jump around im eating my words now the little monkey has been so wriggly the past 2 days.

hello to eeryone ive missed

Rachael, yeah best friend from school moved down there 3 years ago for her husbands work she stil comes up twice a year and I go down once so still keep in touch. I cant believe that went on down there - that is really awful. I can see why they were so stroppy with her now x

Know what your DH means, my DH just laughs now when I get out of bed and it oh, ahh, oh. He is laughing now but wont be when its labour pains x

Hows everyone else today x

rach, that is terrible about aborting babies like that i can't beleive that i could still go for an abortion now (it's 24 weeks isn't it?) my baby has been kicking me and playing about for weeks i can't beleive people don't fall in love with their babies by this stage, but everyone is different and has different situations.

my dh was laughing at me lots last night, firstly he said i reminded him of a turtle who had fallen onto it's back, (trying to get off the couch), and he thinks it's hilarious that my dressing gown now ties at the bust and not the waist.

i booked myself a pampering day for sunday, getting fascial, body massage, body balancing and reiki balancing, i can't wait, spending the whole afternoon in the beauty salon.

how did you get on at docs lisa?

hope everyone is ok, it's been quiet on here the last few days.

Morning

Rach-jade - not the only place in the country where that happens unfortunately - alot of it was to do with the dowry system when people get married - but that barely exists anymore so Peterborough don't really have an excuse to keep saying they won't tell the sex on that basis. My subject when I was a teacher was Religious Studies and Philosophy and I used to get so mad with how stereotyping some councils are! They assume village traditions are going to be practised by the educated - bit like assuming everyone with a grade 1 haircut is a member of the BNP You're so right though - if theycan go buy a scan for next to nothing down the road whats the bloody point in punishing people like you???!!! Mad world isn't it? Try not to worry about DD - she'll soon forget. Sounds harsh I know but honestly - you've done the right thing and you can rest assured with that knowledge.

Nicnak - I'm so jealous!!!!! I would love to go and get some pampering done but my local salon won't touch pregnant women - all I was offered was a manicure and a pedicure....how boring. I wanted a facial because my skin is starting to look really crap - I was hoping it'd bloom but its gone dry and spotty at the same time - how naff is that?! Probabldoesn't help that for the past few days I've really been craving chocolate - which is unusual as normally its been savoury stuff like wotsits!!

Teri - if my DP laughs at my labour pains I'll sock him one! I'm not very tolerant when I'm in pain!

Lisa - boo hoo to the ill feelings - hope they don't last xx

Girls why am I sooooo hungry?!! I had porridge AND cereal this morning and half a bag of cadbury eclairs all before 9 am this morning! And I could happily rustle up a stunning 3 course meal and devour the lot!! Baby must be having a growth spurt!!!

Well everyone is either very busy or very ill - so hope you are all ok and well! xxxx

hi ever i had to shop around for someone to do my treatments, so have a look at other local salons, i found one that i've never been to before, and she only uses organic products and rieki techniques on pregnant ladies, i spoke to her on the phone and shes had clints who she has treated right thoughout their pregnancies, my face is the same really dry, my forehead too and it's reaching my hairline and looking nasty!!!!

Teri - Not had a headache for days now and actually woke up this morning feeling great! woo hoo

Lisa - Oh you poor thing Hope you are feeling better soon

Rachael - He he you made me laugh with the ooohs and ahhhs Im finding it really hard to sit up in the bath after lying for so long, thank god there are handles on the bath to help me up!

Nic - You have just reminded me I have a voucher to spend at my local salon! Think I only have until next month to use it so better hurry and make an appointment. Sounds like you are going to have a lovely relaxing day at the salon.

Ever - He he I am exactly the same!!! I sat and ate a massive dinner last night and as soon as I had finished I still felt hungry. DH couldnt believe it when he saw me coming through with more food as he had the same as me and he could hardly move he was that full!! Ah well at least im not alone

Ange - Hope your ok hun x

Hi girls! Im fine, wrists are fine, im just sooooooooooo tired that i just want to spend every day in bed I have to go for a nap every day, when the girls are at school. I have no idea how i would cope if i was working!

Started to collect samples of shampoo, shower gel etc etc for my hospital bag, so much easier than lugging about big bottles of stuff! My MIL is collecting them for me too lol, so should have a few.

Hows everyone else? Less than 2 weeks til my next scan, woohoo!

Has anyone ever heard of lotus birth, or know anyone who has done it?

http://www.labouroflove.org/birth/lotus-birth/

seems a bit weird t me lol, but wondered if people really do it!

afternon ladies and bumps!1

well what an morning/afternoon ive had. was at work this morning ddoing som filing and next thing i know im flat on the floor with my manager standing over me. she said one minute i was standing next i was just flat. i used to faint all the time in pregnancy with my dd due to high blood pressure apparently your body makes you pass out so it can regulate you blood pressure a bit lower. Wel i landed n my bump so had to go to the mat unit where they did a tracing and stanley is fine i was a bit worried cuz i didnt feel bubs move for a few hours then literally just before coming on here stanley started wriggling around think maybe he was in shock with me landing on him My blood pressure was checked at hospitl and sure enough it was higer than it should be so think this may have started to make a reappearence have got to go to consultant every 2 weeks and midwife every 2 weeks alternate to have my bp checked. i had very mild pre-eclampysia with dd but manged to control it and go to 40 weeks apent my last 10 weeks of pg in hospital. have made myself clear that that is just not viable as i would have no where to put dd. so am on strict rest and if i do go to work im not allowed to move frommy seat(believe me i dont do a lot at work anyway) lol.

ever- im not hungary all the time i cant get enough of drinking weird craving ffor orange and pinapple squash suppose that kinda health though haha.

jenni- glad your wrists are feeling better bu boo to the fatigue. wheres this blooming second trimester supposed to be hey .

cheri- lol at the dressing gown ive given up o mine haha glad you not had any headaches and are feeling a bit better.

nik- what on earth is reiki balancing sounds interesting?

well i best go speak sooon
xx

Hi Girls and bumbs

Im with everyone on the being hungry front i cant sop eating im starvingt all the time and thirsty - i can literally eat anything anytime.

I actually got some good news today.......We had to cancel our holiday to newyork cause of my dad being poorly and i tried to claim on insurance but they said i couldnt and i argued with them and my dads doc sent them a letter, well i just git home and have a cheque through the post for £1300 !!!! We only lost £200 in admin fees

My silvercross pram was delivered today but i was not in so missed deliver, they are going to try again tomorrow but im out probably miss it again - i wish they would just arrange a date and time with me so im def here - soooo annoying

My dad starts chemo tomorrow so can everyone send positive thoughts for him please xxx thank you xxx

Hows everyone else doing?

Rach jade - Are you ok now after your fall? You need to take it easy - i know its easier said than done.

jenpen - Never heard of lotus birth. Good idea on collecting shampoos and stuff i might start doing the same

nicnac - You lucky thing getting pampered all afternoon. i have a voucher from my birthday still for our local salon but was going to book my mum in for something with it as she is soooo stressed out at the mo.

Lisa - how are you feeling?

God im so slow at typing im going to leave it there and have a bath before dh gets home.

Hi to everyone else

Nat xx

Hi everyone,

Nat - Positive thoughts coming your dads way & (((hugs))) to you hun.x Good news about getting most of your holiday money back.

Rach - What an awful scare having a fall. That is great that Stanley is fine. Take it easy.x

Jenni - The lotus birth sounds a bit yukky. I did read about asking the midwife to not cut or clamp the cord for at least 3 minutes which I am thinking of asking for.See link www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/health/healthma...2477&in_page_id=1774

Cherie - Glad you are feeling better. Pm'd you hun.x

Ali - Happy belated birthday.

DH likes the name Caitlin Bethany is we have a girl, which I do like but I have set my heart on Imogen. I can't think of a middle name that is short to go with it, any ideas? We still can't agree on a single boys name after looking through 3 baby name books!

Hope everyone else is well.

Ange

Good morning!!

Up to my toncils in kitchen stuff - so i'll keep it brief.

Nat - I will be thinking of you and yours today, I hope it all goes well.

Ange - I love Imogen, but DH doesn't!!

RJ - Stop thowing yourself around the office floor!!!! If you want time off, just ask for it!!!!

JP - Loving the idea of collecting samples for the hospital!! I must admit I do that anyway for weekends away but didn't even think about the hospital.

I am now on my 3 month countdown!!!! 3 Months yesterday, I can't believe it!!! And guess what??? Still here with my jeans on today!!!!! Yay!!!

I hope everyone else is doing ok.
