np. Im planning on breast feeding aswell and hard its a really good idea to have a lactaton specialist number at hand just in case.
Ive also gotten 1 bottle and some formula just incase LO wont latch. I really want to try it but as long as LO is getting his food thats all that matters

 

[Gracey&bump]

yeah im hoping i'll be able to as apparently its supposed to benefit the baby alot more & can help with weight loss after birth

 

[brandonsgirl]

yeah. Ive watched this DVD called bump to breastfeeding that my MW gave me, you can also watch it on the NHS website but i recommend it to anyone who is thinking about breastfeeding because its really good and helps with so many questions you may have.

 

[Gracey&bump]

i think i'll take a look at that on the website then.
thanks for the tip

At how many weeks should I get my letter through telling me about my first scan? I had an emergency scan at 7+5 but I still havn't recieved my letter telling me when my 12 week scan should be.

 

[tasha41]

Not sure, I only had an ultrasound at 12 weeks because I requested that test, it's optional here. The only mandatory one in pregnancy where I live is 19 weeks

i asked for them to phone me instead of letters an at my 2nd mw apt i had the date for my 1st scan then a week after my 1st scan had the date for the second one,

Once he's had his jabs i think xx

 

[jenny_wren]

swimmings after the first lot of jabs i think too

and i got my scan letter through a few weeks
before my appointment, you could always ring
the hospital and see if they've got you down yet?

i got the letter for my scan about 12/13 weeks xx

The problem with when things happen at hospitals and such is they do them so differently area to area, I would say if you've heard nothing by 10-11 weeks phone them.

my little cousins coming down from london for the first time in ages next week & i cant wait to see him, but he has chicken pox

i've had it, twice! (i barely had it the first time though)
will it be safe for me & bump to spend lots of time with him while he's got it?

 

[Luke's_mummy]

I don't think so. If you've had it twice (i've had it 4 TIMES) then you don't have a proper immunity to it, so it could be dangerious for bump, becuase it would be dangerious for bump if you caught it. However... if he has it now, and he's coming next week, surely he'd be okay by the time he comes down anyway? xxxx

 

[Gracey&bump]

yeah im hoping it'll be gone by then, but just wanted to check

 

[flutterbywing]

i may be wrong but if he knows he has cp he's not likely to be contagious much longer, I'd look it up if I were you, it may be fine
