Uk SMOG Wannabes ~ February

[littlemisswilko]

Does anyone dye their hair? Unfortunatly I've noticed far too many grey hairs my problem is that even shampoo going over my face can cause my eyes to puff up again, also not sure about doing it while pregnant! I guess I need to find something natural but haven't got a clue where to start?

I dye my hair and its quite harsh on my hair too as its bleached. i know when i was pg with my boys i only had it highlighted so the peroxide didnt touch my scalp but this time im not sure what to do as i dye the whole lot now and my roots are around an inch long. The last time i bleached it was before xmas and before i knew i was pg but i would have been pg iykwim. i was doing abit of reasearch and they say its fine to dye your hair after being 12 weeks pg so u should be fine. If your still abit worried try using a semi perminant if your dark as these are good to cover greys for a short period of time and dont have too many chemicals in! HTH

sunset - my mam got one for xmas but i know the only book files she gets on it are the freebies. i dont know wether she goes to a certain site to get them from but i know the ones she's had on it she hasnt paid for them.

Sunset - hope you are all well for a long time now!! Glad serena is getting better x x as for kindles I only really read in the bath so kindles are no go! I get alot of books from my mum and anything i do buy comes from amazon as usually cheap....it annoys me kindle downloads seem to be pushing up book prices though. nothing like hold ing a real book IMO

and yep its dragging already

[zanacal]

Deaks - so glad your test results were fantastic!

Sunset - glad Serena is better today and I hope you all get a rest from the bugs for a while now.

LMW - how awful, I'm so glad you're all ok though x

Peb - the advice for frequent release is to release at least once a day for 7-10 days but my DH could do that easily and was likely doing that when we conceived our boys so I felt we needed to step it up a gear.

Deaks- woohoo, that's awesome, such a relief, so happy for you. You can now relax a bit and start to enjoy the pg.

Thanks for your advice ladies about the scan, it is a free one as the clinic is a year old so I couldn't reschedule...maybe just go and get her to write it down (if they will lol!)

LMW- what a total pain about your car, it is such a hassle for you, just what you don't need, thank goodness you are all ok though.

sunset- super glad serena is well again, long may it last.

charlie- I can't believe I am there either...weird to be thinking about finding out. You always seem so far ahead of me and I think I have so much time to decide but suddenly I'm there, eek! Are you definitely finding out at the 4d scan? It's probably hard not to see!

[Inglewood]

So i got my results at last and not only had they doubled in 48hrs but they had trebled...yippee! Plus i had worked out that for 18/19 dpo they were already above average and at 20/21 dpo they were far above average

TWINS??? lol

[Inglewood]

Sunset, glad serena is better. What a worry. x

Indigo, wow a free scan!! Bet u can't wait!

LMW, OMG!! how awful.. Poor kids and you! Hope ur ok... take it easy!

Kell, I dye my hair, having it done next week to cover my grey!! lol It was last done when I was about 14wks pg. Think hitting 33 gave me 33 more grey hairs since fri!! I go to the hairdresser, she uses dye safe for pg women. I always highlighted my hair until end last yr when I decided to go back to all brown.

Zanacal, 4 sleeps till ur 4d scan, bet ur excited!!

AFM, had an 'annoying' day. Went to scan, told sonographer I was keen to hear babies weights and she didn't tell me this time! Went to see Consultant and she wasn't there, saw the registrar who WOULDN'T give me my section date!!!! Said "your only 29+5, still so much time" PANTS!!!!! I have kids to organise as it's the school hols beg April and Dh's work needs around 6wks notice!!! Consultant told me I'd be sectioned at 36wks, she told me 36-38wks today!!! what?? make up their minds!! Last week another doc told me 37wks!!!! Asked about the 'clicking' noise and was told it was "fluid" as the babies have the max amount of fluid they will have at the moment and I've to take it easy as there is a 50% chance I could go into labour over the next 2/3wks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was thinking "WTF" into myself!!! I told the midwife my bloods were to be repeated since starting the Sytron Liquid and she disagreed with me until she read my notes!! Had ++protein in my urine, but since BP was ok and no swelling, they weren't concerned. I usually enjoy my hosp visits and so look forward to them, but not today

[zanacal]

Oh my goodness Inglewood, what a nightmare! I can't believe they said you have a 50% chance of going in to labour in 2 or 3 weeks, as if you don't have enough to worry about - and now you don't even know when you'll have the babies. So frustrating and I hope your next appointment brings more answers than questions.

I am excited about Saturday but also slightly nervous about taking DS3 out for such a long day when I've only just potty trained him - he'd better not wee on the sofa in the ultrasound room (or worse!)!!

[Petal]

Hi girls,
Ah Sunset, glad your little girl is on the mend now :-) My ds3 is still poorly, hes been tested for rotavirus which is a dirrareah bug which lasts 4 weeks! great!
My ds1 has a kindle, he LOVES it, hes such a book worm :-) DH downloaded a ton of books for him off a torrent site for free (oops, did i just say that) lol.

LMW, glad you are all ok after your car accident!! i hope the person that drove into you was very sorry!!

Oh Inglewood, stupid midwife!! hope your ok, take it easy over the next few weeks! even more reason to put your feet up ;-)

Hi to everyone else!!!

Ps, im up for the Wells meet up!! im just down the road (about an hour) so anytime is good for me :-) I dont mind meeting with or without all the children, would be quite nice for them all to play, would be about 20 boys!!! haha x

[charlieispy]

we would definitely need footballs petal! Although with a whole beach there is plenty to get into to!
