By 'cooked', they mean 'thoroughly cooked' - a couple of minutes under the grill won't count, it just warms it and makes any bacteria more active. Howver, the goat's cheese on pizza is not going to be of the rind kind like brie or camembert - it'll be the rindless soft cheese that has a...

Like a couple of the others, we're married but I didn't change my name. The baby will have DH's surname. There are limits even to my feminism! Though we had a funny moment over the weekend - DH and I took DH's parents to stay with mine, and at one point we were asked about names. I said that...

hi all, a quick one so you don't worry that I haven't posted for 24 hours! Expecting parents-in-law any minute, then driving them to my parents' house for a weekend stay (if a 3-hr drive, just me and in-laws whilst DH gets the train, isn't selflessness, I don't know what is :lol: ). Wish me...

I tried - think it's worked. Added on 16 March - kittykins, 23w scan. You can remove me once you've seen it if you want! (guess it's only 2nd tri who'll be posting, therefore all scans will be around 20w, but you never know!)

That wouldn't work - the friends would then find that the council won't collect their disposable nappies or give them disposable nappy bin bags! We don't get it here either, though both neighbouring London boroughs do. Friends say that you have to fill out an application form and tick one of...

Very much planned and wanted! I've tried just about everything to get this baby - charted temps for over a year, used OPKs and a CBEFM, had all sorts of blood tests and DH had a semen analysis (all of which came back good... so there was nothing anyone could do to help), taken agnus castus, EPO...

My scan isn't till 23w - 16th March :bored: I've been told that the hospital policy is to not tell parents but that the sonographer has discretion to tell on a case-by-case basis. I guess that if the policy is not to tell, then it must be relatively easy not to show too! We don't want to...

well, if you looked through the bump pics thread, you'll have seen my total absence of a bump at 19w1. By the evening I had a slight bump... This morning, at 19w3, there is absolutely no mistaking that I'm pg. Just took a couple more photos which I'll upload later. It's not a big bump but it is...

Have you tried Figleaves? You can get relatively cheap (£12) softcup ones in up to 44G, http://www.figleaves.com/uk/product.asp ... 4891-front , £18 t-shirt ones in up to 38 G http://www.figleaves.com/uk/product.asp ... 2540-front (I have these...) and my personal favourite for everyday use, the...

p.s. were you one of those children who can't resist peeking into every wardrobe/under every bed/in every bag in the run-up to Christmas, in the hope of finding one of your presents before the big day?! :lol: I get so upset if anyone leaks a surprise before it's time - I still haven't forgiven...

We've had the same experience as chaya, and tbh it's really peeing me off. Of course we'll love our baby just as much if we don't happen to know what it is before it's born! People haven't failed to bond with babies from the beginning of history until scans were introduced 25 years ago...

Well, he must have seen the rose before checking the price... so the thoughts were in the right order and he just happened to get a bargain! My DH wouldn't bother looking at flowers even if they did have a big 'Sale' sign hanging over them... :lol:

ok, I just took another pic - it's very blurry, sorry - but the flash reflected badly. Will def get DH to do it next time. Anyway - first pic is this morning, same as I posted before. 2nd pic is 10 mins ago, before dinner :shock: Maybe I should take another one after dinner! But I definitely...

hey Flossy :wave: why do you feel out of place? Is it because you don't post as often as you should?! :lol: I've no idea about measurements, but if your MW is measuring externally (i.e. fundal height rather than scan) then I have been told the measurement can be inaccurate - it can depend...

My 19w1 non-bump pic... Can you see I'm even sticking out my tummy to try to make it look bigger? :rotfl: I just look podgy :( I WANT A BUMP! I'm going to nick one of yours. I reckon Snuggle has enough to spare me some :wink:

Great pic, ROM! And yeah, yeah, yeah about the dummy :wink: :lol: So how's everything going? Has George distracted Hannah from the phone?! Babydust - WELL DONE for booking the driving lesson. Take some Bach's Rescue Remedy with you to the first lesson! I guess it must be hard for the girls...

I've arranged to meet my friend in a patisserie at 4.30 today (it's half-term :D )... I'm confessing in advance, because I know I'm fully intending to have at least a doughnut and a brownie or a coconut macaroon, plus a hot chocolate made with solid dark chocolate, so thick you can barely get...

from my experience so far, 'kicks' is absolute rubbish. I've felt squirming, I've felt a horrible creepy-crawly feeling, I've felt something scratching like a mouse trying to get out... but I've not felt anything and thought 'ooooh, that was a kick'! And as for the butterfly flutters, I'm...

no need to feel embarrassed. Pre-natal depression is almost as common as post-natal depression - when you think about, you're coping with a lot physically, plus all the hormones, and if, on top of it all, you're far from family and friends, with 2 small children to look after, and a husband away...

Mildly - love the pic! As Loola says, you can practically hear him giggle from that photo! He certainly looks like a happy baby - and he also looks like he's going to be a real handful in 3 or 4 years' time! :lol: Loola - I'll try to take a pic tonight or tomorrow morning. But the bump is...
