They offer the whooping cough vaccine to women in the US as well, it is recommended by the CDC (center for disease control). The one in the US is only a 3 in 1 vax though so maybe whatever is the 4th thing in the UK one is making it even worse
One of the things is tetanus though, and that is known to be a dead arm vax. I'm getting it when I'm still at the hospital after birth. My DH is getting it before baby comes, so are all the grandparents. We will all have dead arms together! UK Girl your hubby should def get the whooping cough vaccine. When adults get it it just seems like a cough so most adults walk around not even knowing they have (and are spreading) whooping cough.
Mommabrown that is weird that they would write something they think is a concern in your chart but not talk about it with you! I would definitely bring it up. Do you know how much you have gained? I thought it was only a concern if you gain less than 20lbs, and even then if you were small to start with then they have to take that into account too. At my 32 week appt I had gained 25lbs and my MW says at this rate I will probably gain 35lbs. I think that sounds like a crazy amount of weight. But I still fit into my pre-pregnancy pants so
I swear my boobs have increased by 5lbs per boob so it must be that
Which glider are you looking at Steph? We have done that with store cards as well. Banana Republic once had a promo to open the card and you got 30% off so my DH opened the card and bought a suit and then paid it off the next day and closed the card
I think those cards are fine as long as you don't actually use them as a credit card. If you pay them off as soon as the bill is due you never pay the crazy interest and sometimes they do have really good reward points and incentives etc. We don't have any though just because it always works out better for us to get the credit card points to use for travel miles.
I can't believe your MIL said you had a fat face Lily! That is ridiculous. I also have chipmunk cheeks, and they look the same as before also. I swear the absolute WORST part of pregnancy has been listening to other people's crap. Their crap stories about horrific births and giant babies, their insulting judgements of our bodies, their crap advice from the 1950's and on and on and on. I would happily take horrific heartburn, aches and pains, insomnia, worry etc over having to listen to one more piece of crap from someone about something I didn't even ask them about.
