Knacked after putting on that decal piece by piece, pic attached if anyone wants to see..
Java, I LOVE it. I love it so much, I want one like it.
I must go have a look on etsy - I love so much stuff on it
Ladies, I got two free iron supplements in my eumom gift box, that I picked up in supervalu. You get a leaflet inside that blue plastic envelope they gave you in the hospital. I was really impressed with the box of stuff actually... if you haven't picked yours up yet, I recommend it!0 -

where do you get them boxes? i dont wanna look like a div asking and the shop not knowing what im on about0 -
Did you get a big blue and white plastic envelope with booklets and things in it during your first hospital appointment? It has eumom.ie written on it.
Inside is a small booklet from eumom, and inside the front cover is a voucher/coupon/form thingy that you can hand it to any supervalu listed (seems like all of them to me)
Then you just fill in the form and give it to the cashier.
The cashier knew what it was straight away and the shop had loads of banners up promoting it.
Then they give you a pink box which is chocablock with free samples - everything from sudacream to dettol anti-bac wipes, a bag to chuck it all in, a teething toy from bonjella, and even a height chart which made me almost die from the cuteness
I was over the moon with it anyway !0 -

Hi All,
javagal - the decal looks fab - love it, will def check out etsy when i start decorating - have to find a house first though
Mink -was giggling reading your post, also went to cinema last night, wanted to see war horse but figured seeing a tearjerker in my emotionally fragile state should prob be done in privacy of own home... went to see Girl with the dragon tattoo instead- def no tears there!
can't remember who posted on the 'energy boost' of the second trimester.... think it's a myth, along with the glossy hair and glowing skin... am still wrecked with spotty skin and frizzy hair
Am 17 weeks now and still no flutters - have been getting a weird tickly/itchy feeling just under my belly button for the last few days - not sure if it's baby??? my hubby told me he had his hand on my tummy while I was asleep last night and he felt the baby move - he was so so excited - bless him - didn't have the heart to tell him it was prob just indigestion.....
Tinkerbell - hope your little ones are feeling better...
hope every one is doing well?
Take care,
T x0 -

Thank god I found this, cos I thought I was huge! Sienna miller due in July. I think I may be a little bigger than her, but that's probably because I wasn't like a size 8 before getting pregnant, more like a 12 sometimes 14.

I have to say, she looks very cute. I'd be about the same size as her but in much larger proportions
Def my bump is sticking out like that more or less. 0 -

I want to do that too, but i have no classes nearby.
I'm an ex yoga-bunny, so think I should be able to do it in the comfort of my own home if i can find a good dvd.
I promised myself i would start that and listening to my hypnobirthing cds by week 20. Which is what, next week? So I'd better get off my sciatica plagued ass and find a dvd
I am STARVING today. It's only half ten, and I've already eaten an entire Dr Otker pizza all on my own. Hopefully that will stop the belly grumbling for a long time!0 -

Hi girls,
Hope your all keeping well. When I was in Aus I picked up a Belly Belt pack, so I can keep wearing my normal jeans. They come in three different sizes and act like an extension for the waistline. I'm finding them to be really good . Kinda hard to explain so here's a link to an Irish based website that sells them.

Same idea as the belly band I guess. 0 -
I hope you're not waiting as long as I am!!
I ordered 160 euros worth of maternity stuff from mothercare online on the 17th of January - and I still have nothing!!!!
Their international delivery FAQ says 7 working days, but in the small print, it says it can take 30 days if it is sent by airmail. I chose standard delivery, not airmail, and they charged me 16 euro for the privelage. But, it's gone by airmail, and I have nothing to show for it. Their customer service never, ever answer an email, and their phone staff (although very nice) are completely unable to help.
I was basically told to call them back after the 30 days are up so that they can look into a refund. And despite it saying on the website that I can get a tracking number - they don't have one.
The annoying thing was, I ordered it all a good 2 weeks before I had to go on a work trip, and was relying on them for that. Instead, I was dossing around in badly fitting clothes that made me both self conscious and uncomfortable. Cue a minor hissy fit on the phone with the last girl i spoke to demanding to know why they would upset a pregnant lady!!
tl:dr If you're using mothercare, shop in store!0 -

Thanks Mink,
I was doing baby shower for my friend 2 years ago (she is single mum and we wanted to cheer her up a little bit). It was great crack
I was surprised that one of our mutual friends asked me can she arrange this for me.
I'm happy and I hope it will be great fun
I'm going to hospital for meeting with consultant next week - I hope they will clear me for some exercises 0 -

Hi ladies,
Just venting - went to my combined care GP appointment this morning & she was horrified that I haven't had a scan of my cervix to see how long/ strong it is. After nearly 3 years of smear tests which started at aged 20 as a random test to understand why I had irregular periods I ended up having 2 colposcopies and 2 Lletz procedures over the following years. At my first hospital appointment the consultant was in and out in 30 seconds. Literally. And left the room moaning about how medical students use too much tissue paper to wipe the gel from the patients' bellies. Anyway. I didn't get a chance to say it to him but I mentioned it to the midwife who said 'ah yea that'll be grand' and nothing more. All the while my GP letter was in the file and he didn't mention it - even though he flicked through it. The GP told me today that I need to insist that they do this scan as I'm 50% more likely to give birth early and to have an underweight baby unless I get a stitch in my cervix which is taken out just before my due date. This scares the life out of me. So I called the hospital, got transferred to about 9 different people before I got an appointment for Monday morning with the same consultant I saw the first day. Then I was told that if I needed a stitch they only do it at 12 weeks and not after that - I didn't even have my first hospital appointment at that stage!
I'm so upset about it - they just don't care. My Oh is away and I just feel so worried! I have had such a trouble-free pregnancy so far and I really felt for those of you who have had bleeding, morning sickness etc. and I'm just so worried that I've got off so lightly so far that something bad is going to happen 0 -

That is absolutely disgraceful behaviour from a hospital! I cannot believe the unprofessionalism from some "qualified" medical staff. Hopefully all goes well with the scan on Monday. I'm actually furious for you, and I wouldn't let anyone get off lightly with this.Hi ladies,

Thanks ladies. I am furious. I asked to go with the midwives clinic but I knew that I had to be a low risk pregnancy to do so - that's why I stressed it so much with the midwife but she didn't pass any remarks. Maybe because I'm low risk in other ways as in I'm young, not obese and have no underlying medical conditions. I'm annoyed though because I trusted that she would know if something needed to be checked first. And how did the consultant miss it if he read my notes & then left the room - I even waited a few minutes for him to return until somebody came and told me I could go! I'll definitely be standing up for myself on Monday... just wish OH was here too. Angry mamaheidi will be out in force 0

That's so frustrating. They just don't care enough about patients anymore. We're just on a conveyor belt to them.
They don't read the notes properly, they ask questions but don't really wait to hear the answer. It's disgraceful.
Hopefully everything will be ok and you'll find a solution to the problem on Monday.
I agree with Cyning, see if the your GP will give you a copy of the letter he sent the hospital. I'd photocopy it a few times, so if they take it from you next monday and don't give it back you will still have a copy at home for yourself.
Do you have anyone at all to go with you for a bit of support next week? Mum/Sis/in-laws/close friend? I know it won't be the same as having your partner with you, but its better than having to go alone.
As hard as it is, I'd maybe try and take a few notes when your with the doc or write down as much as you can remember when you come out. Be helpful when your trying to fill your OH in on what happened at the appointment.
Really hope everything works out ok for you x0 -

Kildareash thanks,
I told him I know my rights and I will feel it is necessary I will contact appropriate government agencies or my lawyer.
Don't worry about your job - after maternity leave they will have to take you back
Regarding maternity? When you girls are planning to start?0 -

No thats wrong I had 3 lletz and I am under a high risk consultant and she said 18 weeks. The original appointment I had been told 12 weeks but she corrected them and told them the were mistaken. So either drogheda`s most qualified consulted is wrong or your misinformed and need to get in and fight your case!0 -
