chloe is eating an ice pop. i managed to find some in adsa for £1 - 40 in the pack, colour free (so look like ice... no stains!), sugar free and natural flavourings. she just crunches on them, and if it goes too far down, either chomps the wrapper and slides the ice out of the inside with her teeth, or pushes it up like you're psosed to. she doesnt seem to mind it being cold on her hands. she always ends up dropping the last bit so picks it up bare hands and eats it! they're not too sticky either. mand x

they're not frozen ones... you take em home and freeze em yourself so no bother to bring you a couple. chloe ended up at out of hours gp tonight, screaming in pain again. the gp says it could be her hernia but like always by the time we get rang back and seen to it has passed. i'd like her to see a specialist even if its so we can cross it off the list of what it could be. would be a relief if it was just her hernia playing up because i know what it feels like, i know nothing can be done without surgery, but i also know it's just pain - she won't die from whatever is causing it, and it will stop.
even matt was in tears tonight she was crying so hard. its usually me... especially when pregnant, but when i was on the phone to the nurse he was bawling his eyes out. mand x

My little man is 1 today. I am very stressed over his party which is starting at 2pm. I can't believe a whole year has passed. This time last year I was in the hospital, crying that I couldn't do it. Is it weird that I want to go back to that, despite the pain?
Thanks Mand, and I hope Chloe's alright. My hayfever seems to have gone away for now (weather's changed) but I've now got a horrible cold/mild flu that Madeleine had last week. It's slowly getting better though.
I saw my midwife. My health visitor refered me to a special midwife because of mental health stuff - the advantage of this is that she comes round to my house! I'm going to be under a different hospital this time, because they have a consultant that specialises in mental health.
How come if you self harm A LITTLE TINY BIT everyone freaks out?
My mental health really isn't that bad, it's been a lot worse. I function pretty well at the moment. I'm eating better too - not quite enough, but enough that I'm not going to do the baby any harm. A lot of people with morning sickness eat less than I do.
My bump is huge! Another person noticed! I am six weeks pregnant now.

Her laugh rings through me like a thousand bells.
The soft sweet way her little head smells.
His smile so bright, his giggle so sweet.
His precious tiny fingers, his chubby little feet.
What filled my days before, I do not know.
I've so much love within me, from inside my heart I glow.
A beautiful new world has just begun.
For in it, is my beautiful daughter and my handsome son.
Hi Jocelyn, welcome I'm Helena, 23 and I'm 6 weeks pregnant, and I have a two year old.
I've been at RYL for a long long time (since I was about 16 I think). You must be getting quite big and uncomfortable, I remember that time from last time I was pregnant. What problems have you been having?
Yeah, it's very uncomfortable,
i'm having twins... so they are quite heavy.
and my problems,
i'm juss really scared about the pregnancy.
there have been alot of issues...
the reoccuring nightmares.
they babies are healthy though, thank god.

I'm glad your babies are healthy... and wow! twins!
Can you take comfort that you're past the stage where the babies wouldn't survive in the outside world now? I know you're still very early to give birth, but they'd still stand a decent chance now...
In my first pregnancy I was so worried about miscarraige and I was having nightmares about it. But once I got past about 28/29 weeks I started to relax more about it. I thought I was in labour at 27 weeks (had to go to hospital), and I looked it up and the chances of the baby being ok was 70% and it gets better and better the more weeks go by. I think at 30 weeks most babies are alright.
yeah, i'm very thankful that i could continue on with this pregnancy.
although, the story behind it is hurtful and scary.
i got two good things from this.
when are you due?
