Have a good holiday, Crazymam!

Creative, Oasis, and Left Wonderin, glad to hear you all are well!

For the rest of us, I hope it's our turn soon!!

Tomorrow is a national holiday for us, but I have a scan on Friday morning to see how my follies are reacting to the Femara/injectable combo. Wish me luck!

How are you all?

Still undecided on the whooping cough vaccine but I don't have to make a decision yet so not going to worry about it at the moment

i've opted out and won't be having the flu jab either. I do have to have the Anti D shot though!

 

[dancareoi]

I wasn't going to have whooping cough jab either, but having seen what my friend went through with her baby I didn't think it was worth the risk.

I saw her Monday and the poor little thing had a coughing fit and couldn't get her breath, it was horrible .

I had he same dilemma with swine flu jab with my youngest, but I did have it in the end

Also with my oldest and MMR as it was just at the time when there was all that problem with the link to autism, again we opted for the jab.

I feel fine from it, although my arm is so sore!

It's very unfortunate about your friend Lisa, I do feel for her, but I won't be having the jab either, as there's no safety testing in pregnancy or long term follow up studies on giving the vaccine while pregnant I've opted out too, of course it's a completely personal choice for each mum and I respect everyone's choices. I've never been offered a flu jab whilst pregnant but I wouldn't have it if I did, only ever had flu once in my life and that was twenty years ago, I've got a very good immune system, my whole family have had viruses, colds etc loads since I've been pregnant but I've not caught a thing! And our immune system is supposed to be lower xxxxxxx

As you say it's personal preference, buts its horrible to have to make these decisions.

One midwife told me that the West Midlands currently has one of the highest whooping cough rates in infants in the country.

My arm is still sore and has a little lump on it. My youngest keeps knocking it. Ouch!

My eldest spent the day at his new school yesterday . He is he only one from his primary school going there. There are 60 kids in his year and 49 are all going onto the catholic school which is the follow on for his school.

He passed the Bham 11+ entrance exam so is off to Grammer School!

He will be travelling by the Green Bus, they are specific to a certain school and follow a certain root and are not available for public use

He got he bus there and back yesterday which was a bit worrying but he has 4 cousins at this school they looked after him. It's a 40 minute journey.

He had a great time and has made some friends already.

Tonight we have his confirmation. My mom is coming round to look after my youngest as it doesn't start until 7pm and Will last a couple of hours.

Luckily there is a toilet in the church because I won't be able to go that long without having a wee!

 

[Oasis717]

Oh I know Lisa I can't go anywhere where there's no loo!! I hate having to make the decisions re jabs etc, it's so hard, there's not been a single case of whooping cough in the south, not that I know of and my mw has not mentioned anything to me but it's still v worrying. All you can do is what you think is best and hope xxxxx Casey went to his new school yest to play with the other 5 from his pre school and he went off with the teachers fine so I'm hoping he'll be ok when he starts in Sep xxxxx

He'll be fine, I think we are more worried about these things than they are.

When my Dd started school, there was her and 4 others from her nursery that started together. Within no time her best friend was someone she hasn't met before!

I'm not so worried now with my youngest. He is due to start nursery on sept and I did get a nursery place at dd school for him, but he is at a private nursery 2 days a week, so as with my dd, we will up his days to 4 and leave him there.

Not worried now that he won't know anyone when he starts school because I know now how quick they make new friends.

Also be is used to the shool because he comes with me on the school run.

I am on the same toilet issues at the moment. If Igo to the loo and wee, I have to contort into different positions to make sure I am emptyy and all night long I wake to wee, go back to bed and then half an hour later I wake again and need to go again. My OH thinks I must be an old man with prostate trouble!!

You could always get some incontinence pads, save getting up!

Yes I worried myself daft the few times my sickness went, at 8 weeks it completely disappeared for four whole days and I was convinced it was all over, now I just wish I'd made the most of it cause it came back twice as bad lol xxxxxx
