[mrsholmes]

I have a v vein in my left leg and it killings! feels really heavy esp in the night thats partly why im not sleeping

was a bit worried shes upset.

I also brought a nice pair of white linen mat trousers from new look and some chucky beads from primark!

 

[Baci]

No idea either Cath!

It's the first visit to this dentist. Shes been a couple times before but never lets the dentist see her teeth!

Annoyingly this dentist only takes on children for NHS treatment and not adults so if i want to go there I'd have to pay privately. Gonna have to phone all the dentists in the area as dont want to pay while i have exemption card.

Dentists are a rip off! we do alot of financial work for dentists in our office and their starting salary is usually about £60-70k straight from Uni!! No wonder none of them want to work for NHS and go private!!

 

[mrsholmes]

Im lucky ive still got a nhs one, so has oh.

going to order my washing machine today my mothers been doing all our washing

 

[Baci]

I guess I kind of have an NHS one, as in I had one where I used to live. Just can't seem to find one here. It's a bit too far to try and see my old dentist though.

 

[Jkelmum]

Ive replied in facebook i am not upset thanks for worrying tho

 

[mrsholmes]

just read it now, thanks! im such a nosey rosey!


does any one know anything about this srep b test? does everyone have it?

 

[ClaireyF]

i don't know anything about the test Cath, have you got to have it and when? x

 

[Baci]

Group B Strep?

I'm not sure they test it on the NHS, when I was pregnant with Violet I paid privately to have it done. They just sent me a kit which then had to be sent off for testing.

I havent given it much thought this time because of the csection...

 

[mrsholmes]

my friend had it cos she asked but they dont do it for everyone think she was just lucky, how much was it privately?

Ive heard the baby can be quite ill if u have it and they dont know

 

[mrsholmes]

Just about to order a moses basket stand, should i get a rocking one or not?

 

[Baci]

I havent asked this time, but with Violet I couldnt get it done on the NHS.

I cant remember exactly how much the test cost, I think you get the kit for free and then pay when you send off for testing. I think (but dont quote me!) it was around 30 quid.

This website has some info and links for testing too;

As for the moses basket, I havent a clue - I had a basket for Violet (with a stand) and she hated sleeping in it!

 

[mrsholmes]

thanks tbh I only got one cos everyone is keeping on about it, ive got a snuggle nest for her to sleep with me, im not conviced they are very safe they look like they could tip over easy esp with two cats!

 

[ClaireyF]

i have a moses basket with a still stand, i don't think they look too sturdy either, mine is going in between the bed a chest of drawers so it won't get knocked over and Josh will be right next to me xx

 

[Baci]

Thankfully I'd bought mine second hand and just bought a new mattress.

TBH Violet was a bit of a bad sleeper from the start and would rather sleep on me than in her basket. Every time I laid her in it, she woke up!

 

[mrsholmes]

only time will tell I guess,

got my new camera

and a silver washing machine for £200

are u worried about your cat at all claire? people are going on at me all the time!

 

[ClaireyF]

Cath, i'm not worried about my cat, ive been told scare stories about the cat jumping on babies because they can smell milk and get jealous and smoothering by accident etc etc but i won't leave Josh in the same room alone with the cat or dog, i trust them both but am not taking any chances IYKWIM. the animals don't sleep in our bedroom anyway. I was brought up with cats and dog and all my family have cats and there haven't been any problems. x

Morning!
I'm after a moses basket stand too,but will be getting the still one,not a rocking one,just incase my 4 year old leans on it and it flips!
I have two cats,but they not over friendly and only come to you when they want feeding!ive never had any probs with them and baby before,it probably depends how friendly your cats are,i.e love a lot of attention/sitting on knee.????i'm not sure,i'm just waffling!

 

[ClaireyF]

since being pg my cat has been much more friendly and wanting to st on my knee and paw at my tummy, i think he knows something is going on! i haven't been letting him jump on all the time though, try and break him out of the habit. xx

 

[mrsholmes]

I think marlene knows shes not very loving and all of a sudden she loves my bump! my friend brought her baby to the house on sat and wernham started 'cleaning' him!

one problem we have is that ours sleep with us, thats going to be a hard habit to break!!

just booked parent craft class 2nd May!!!
