Emergency seemstress required

Derek tryin to get a 'one for the road' hole

ffs, just bought a Christmas telly guide,

I'm usually quite a sedate driver but the past few weeks have really feckin pissed me off no end, as the number of idiots behind the wheel is shockingly high, and ffs dont even start me on c***s who can't indicate or straddle 2 lanes of a motorway, wankers, and you know who you are

Bollocks, he's kept the show alive this year!!!

Evens on Alfie tearing him a new arsehole the morra night!!

Derek doinking Kat

Gawn Europe, Ryder cup first then the Mosconi cup GIRFUY Yankee doodles

I'd have to agree with that, right now i have 3 girls and 2 boys and literally every arguement stems from one of my 2 older girls (15 & 10), they are serious drama queens and it only takes a wrong sideway's glance for a full blown riot to start, the boy's can't be arsed with it and are much more sedate, maybe thats down to seeing how arguementative the girls are but they almost never start the carry on in this house!!!!

Mrs had her 20 week scan today and we found out we're having a girl, so that means i am going to have 5 females in the house and only me and the 2 boys as a defence Seriously though, i couldn't be more happy

We've already called the consultants secretary numerous times, and have been told on ever occasion that she would call us back, and as yet, nothing!!!!

Now seriously considering to be referred up to the Southern General fetal medical unit, Crosshouse fucked up the mrs latest Anti c + d antibody results because the paperwork was incorrectly completed, the last lot came back at a rather worrying 86 and the cut off for considering an in womb transfusion is 10, however this didn't seem to bother our consultant too much, Our next appointment with the consultant is the 7th of November, which by that time, these antibody levels could have skyrocketed again, so reluctantly we've arranged for the scan to check for Downs Syndrome so at least that way she'll get blood tests done much quicker, I've never really had any real issues with our consultant (Dr Jane Ramsey), infact in our previous pregnancies, she's done more than her duty for us as far as i'm concerned, but this time she appears disinterested for want of a better word, and the stress it's causing is more than i'm starting to keep managable, and the last thing i want to do is blow my top at the consultant, The SG is where we would be referred to in any case if an in womb transfusion were necessary, so would we be entitled to just ask to be treated there from now until the baby arrives??

Yeah, A year, in my experience the first 3 months can be just as stressful as the latter stages of pregnancy, what with lack of kip and generally turning into a robot with no incling of a working body clock.

Congrats mate, when you find out who it was just give me a shout and i'll arrange for the GB to 'sort them out' only jokin bud, you've a long year ahead, take in as much as you can from all the literature you get handed to you and frequent these type of threads as much as poss too, good luck and try and enjoy it, as you only ever have your first, once

Induced at 36 weeks as per the last couple, well thats the plan, but of course is subject to change at any point.

Arghhhh, the mrs is really struggling to keep he sugar levels controlled this time, she's cut back on her Insulin by almost 20 units so far and the levels post meals are still too low, The diabetic nurse we see instructed her to increase her metformin to 1000mg at breakfast and dinner, and i think it's a direct consequence of this, so on her instructions today, she's to cut back another 10 units of insulin, so hopefully this solves that issue, but it's getting very stressful now!!!!

f**k off

Anyone watching this?? I watched the pilot on C5 when it first aired a few weeks back, and decided it wasn't up to much but i stuck with it and found the whole first season online and ended up hooked, The second season began in the States the other week and the first episode of it was well worth continuing viewing, Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a decent series to watch.

As far as staffing levels go, it was no where near as bad with our youngest, who's just turned 1, there seemed to be plenty of midwives and auxiliary staff around then, but this time in the same department, it honestly looks like they have halved the number of staff, it seems quite ridiculous as it's been very busy each time we've been so far this time, though that could be due to the staff cutbacks?!!

I think i worry more as my wife is diabetic and has rh- factor, and she never had the anti-d jab after our first as this was around the time of the issue of contaminated blood products, so subsequent pregnancies have always been closely monitored, Currently she's getting 2 weekly scans which will go to weekly at 26 weeks to check a brain artery in the baby to check the blood flow is ok, and MC doppler scan. She gets a shed load of blood taken at each clinic visit too, to check the antibody levels and that they dont start to crossover to the baby, and if this happens the only treatment is an in womb transfusion so it's quite stressful to say the least, Also, Crosshouse maternity seem to have cut back on staff so every appointment turns into a bloody marathon day, they give you an appointment for 1pm and you dont end up getting out till near bloody 6 o'clock!!!

I'm not having a pop here so dont take it the wrong way, and maybe it's because i'm a natural worrier, but i just dont understand why folk want a home birth. With all the modern medical technology in hospitals, if anything goes wrong, there is a far greater chance of getting the right treatment asap, as opposed to waiting on an ambulance or driving to the hospital, but each to their own i guess.

Congratulations!!!!!!

I dont really get the fuss on having a large family, ours are evenly spaced, i've got boy's of nearly 16 and 7, and girls of nearly 15, 9 and 1, We are mid 30's and feel we still have enough love (and just about sanity ) for another, we can afford them and we love kids, so i dont really see what the big deal is. I'm not having a pop btw, just explaining our reasons for having a large® family

My mrs has the worst 'morning' sickness of all 6 pregnancies, it's non feckin stop this time, I actually feel sorry for her!!!

Out of 6 pregnancies, she's been boaking consistently with this one, dont ever remember her being so bad with sickness and nausea
