UK SMOG Wannabes - November (moved from PL)

I can imagine it's fun! And think how proud you'll feel when she wears them! They sound lovely I love babies in knitted clothes.

Charlie have you read the blog attic 24? If not you would love it!!

You guys are making me think I should try to learn to knit/crochet. I'm awful though as I have to be good at something right away and find it frustrating if I can't pick something up quickly so would probably find it really testing but would be so worth it in the end!

Morning ladies! I've been out and done my first bit of christmas shopping this morning! feeling rather festive

GeCon ~ i don't know about contraception that sways pink... i think condom might be your best option?

Pinga ~ what good news! you must be so relieved 3 weeks will fly by!

Inglewood ~ are you allowed medication or anything for your gastritis now when you're pregnant?

AFM i'm suffering with insomnia :S i wake up at 2am every night and i'm wide awake.. i was up between 2 and 4am last night :S and of course i'm absolutely shattered during the days.. has anyone else experienced this when pregnant? i've never in my life had problems with insomnia before.

I have been taking a milder form of my tabs, but the consultant says from 20wks I can take my usual meds again! Thank goodness!! The spasms in my oesphagus are bad this week.

I am having trouble some nights, getting back to sleep after a loo trip, but mostly after my nigtshifts, got only 4 hrs broken sleep today and just about to go back in!!!! Hope it ends soon and u get better rest.

Lavenderlime and Sunset thanks for reassurance. Im doing loads of negative ions! Sunset the insomnia is natured horrible way of preparing you for baby sleepless nights Im afraid! Loads of my friends had it too, weans you into the baby lifestyle lol. Maybe try some lavender things around bedtime?

Pinga great news about the bleeding, huge relief for you!

Thanks for info Inglewood - am hoping replens and sudafed do the trick. Has anyone had side effects from sudafed as there was a thread where it said it can cause awful side effects. Maybe I should try Benadryl.....

Ive booked in 2 beauty packages - a back, and neck massage with mini pedicure one around cd10 incase I ovulate early, and one on cd16 the day before Im due to ovulate. Need lots of help chilling out, very agitated the last few days but af is due.

Sudafed blocked my nose!!! lol when I took it during my 1st attempt I couldn't breathe thru my nose for a week after! so I ditched it for Zrytec, that was better, but I never took it the mth I conceived as no ewcm.

Well ladies, off to work so tired, feeling sicky...

Have a chatty nite and catch up tom. xx

Sunset - i loooooooooooooove knitting and taught myself crochet when pregnant with ds3 - i cant wait to start knitting again once i feel better - iam still in the middle of a huge crochet blanket meant for the living room - i love a snuggly blanket in the evenings - this is rainbow stripes but not even a 1/4 way threw yet as it is huge!!

I want to learn to crochet, but it looks so complicated what do you think is easier, knitting or crochet?

I'm babysiting tonight, the most adorable little girl, curly hair, so cute and very girly! Makes me miss my boys though when I'm not with them, but a nice break. Is zyrtec available in the uk? Also does anyone know of any sweets that are sugar free? Think they are allowed on the le plan but can't seem to find any

Lavenderlime ~ i can be a bit like that too, but mostly i'm one of them people who won't give up until i've sussed something

Inglewood ~ it must be nice to know you're not that far off being able to take your normal meds the insomnia is really bad! l never had any issues when i was pregnant with the boys, but at the moment it's every night i wake up and can't go back to sleep. i'm like a zombie during the days lol

zyrtec is available in the uk. i'm pretty sure you can buy it in your local supermarket.. i took sudafed for my attempt and didn't experience any problems

CROCHET!! I've been crocheting for 16 years now(started at 13yo) and although I do know how to knit as well, crocheting is faster, easier to fix, easier to start and stop, and you can make some really cute things Knitting is better for clothes like sweaters, pants, etc, but crochet is great for blankets, hats, booties... If you want some help with learning, go on YouTube! There are some great tutorials. I just taught a 9yo how to crochet in one hour(just 2 simple stitches)and she's half way through a scarf already!! I would definitely try it!! Let me know if you need any help!! xo

Another thing- sign up on Ravelry!! Such an incredible place for knitters and crocheters! Millions of patterns and many are free! xo
