UK SMOG Wannabes July

Inglewood - he checked a few things and basically said it's nothing to worry about. My blood pressure was normal yesterday but has been low since I had Eliza and he said that probably caused the headaches I was having and he suspects it may still be dropping sometimes. His best guess was a combination of that and hormones! He seemed to think if it was my ears then I would feel dizzy in a spinning way rather than feeling unbalanced! I'm hoping to take a year off but will have to see how we're doing financially. I definitely won't go back before 9 months due to breastfeeding.

I'm taking DD and DS3 out for lunch with work friends today. I don't reaaly want to go as DS3 will be hectic but I haven't taken DD to work to meet them yet so I'm going to give it a shot then come home for a lie down!!

Inglewood I'm going back in nov so about nine months off purely as I want to use the same childminder I had before. She has a place from sept so I have to pay 50% to hold it. Can't afford to do that till next march. Getting good childcare is more important than a few more months off work x

[Kell]

Have a lovely holiday Deaks

Indigo I don't feel like she's on her way yet. We shall see tho lol.

My blooming son has given me threadworms I can't believe it and so close to my due date, I really hope the doctor gives me something as I really do not want to give birth with them. I called the midwifey unit and they said it happens more often than I think and not to be embarressed, ha easier said than done.

Oh no kell! My son always has symtoms but poor dh inspects him and we never see any but all do the mess in case. Last time I was breastfeeding and took them without thinking! Dh had thrown out the paperwork so not sure if it was safe, but were still alive and well x

Enjoy your party indigo

Enjoy your holiday deaks

I am seeing my son leave nursery for good tomorrow (going to cry I'm sure) then seeing the Olympic torch! Please do not rain as it involves a long walk!

[Inglewood]

Kell, wow 3 days to go! Sure the Gp will give u something to clear them up, FX it goes away soon.

Maybe, how's things with the MIL??

Indigo, gosh, less than 3 wks for you!! eek, exciting that more babies have still to come and soon! Hope ds2 has a lovely b'day. I know what u mean about the cake's... it's like a competition!! some amazing cakes being made, eh.... not by me!! lol Def post a pic

Deaks, enjoy ur hols, relax and have fun!

Z, hope lunch went ok? Fx for us both our 'boat feeling' passes! Glad all well with DD!!


AFM, I'm shattered!! Had my screaming teenies at it for 2hrs solid while I made tea tonight. Dh was working late and I just wanted to run to the bottom of the garden and scream!!! The boys were never like that, not everyday, only when unwell. I love having twins, such a blessing truly, but 2 that don't settle??? come on!! lol Thought after the chiro etc things were better, even texted her to say the were and now after today I felt so sorry for myself. Know its a hormone/tiredness combo and will get better, but tough at the moment even tho I wouldn't rush time by at all. Praying I can save enough to make up my wages from SMP to take more time off...please please FX!! need to get my sanity back before I have to look after people again, can barely look after myself at the mo!

The weather is pants and it's wk3 of the school hols, kids back in 4wks and we have done next to nowt! took them to sealife centre and they stayed 6 days with inlaws. Dh taking them to a stunt show at the wkend and maybe all go to the safari park next wk. Prob is dh works 6 days/wk and gets every 6th week off. He takes the car leaving me stuck in this dam village (which only has 2 shops and a post office). He starts at 0630, so to get the car I have to take 4 kids on the bus to his work to get the car (he uses a works van whilst there that he can't bring home ) which sits there all day. Not good! I used to have my own car but it failed an MOT 2yrs ago (big time) and wasn't worth the £ to fix.

Well, almost midnight and here I am ranting again.... take care ladies and have a good wkend if I don't get back on. x

The doctor wouldn't give me anything he said to wait till after I have the baby.
Ive been looking online and women at this stage have been given stuff before with no side effects, in thinking I might just buy it over the counter because I'm just mortified at the idea of labour with worms.

[zanacal]

Poor you Kell. It's lovely when they start going to school and bringing home nits and worms eh?! We have one worm tablet for the older boys and me and one for DS3 which I bought because he was under 2 at the time - I think that one's called prispen (it's a raspberry flavoured sachet - I actually remember drinking it as a child!) and I'm sure I've read it may be ok when pregnant/breastfeeding. Do check first of course!! Are you doing the crazy cleaning thing as well? I remember washing the bedding and towels a lot and hoovering every day. I also cleaned DS2 (the culprit!) bottom every morning with a baby wipe and as soon as he got out of the bath because the worms come out after sleeping and bathing. Cut everyone's nails short too!
