Listen, I'm going to send you a pm.
Wolfpawnat-- oh god i feel the same! My parents are still together, but we all wonder why. I hopefully won't make their mistakes...just new ones of my own creation! haha!
Do you not get any more than 230 euro? Surely you must be entitled to something more? Do you get child benefit?
Oh, and I always mean to ask. Any plans on when you'll return to college?0 -

Jaysus girls ye've been busy on this thread!
I have a total waster of a father so I wouldn't wish it on any child. He has both mental illnesses and is an alcoholic. He was sober for about 8 years, then he did something which resulted in him getting attacked by a guy with a hammer and he ended up back on the drink. Thing is, even when he was medicated and not drinking he was still an utter bollix. Mam had to eventually pat him to leave. For these reasons I would say to the two girls if these guys are the ****s they seem to be and have no interest let them off. They may come back in years to come but will have to prove that contact is in the interest of the child. My Dad is the only person in my life that I have ever wished dead. At the moment when I give birth I won't be able to text everyone until I'm home in case he finds out and comes to the hospital and I'm trapped.
least he doesn't know where I live.
Other stuff ye're talking about...
I got a Doppler at 14 weeks, I've used it 4 times. It was pretty clear that baby hated the thing, kept moving away. Last time I used it he kicked it so hard he nearly deafened me so I took the battery out and put it away. I can feel him constantly now so would only use it if he went quiet for a day or something. They're really noisy inside the womb
And finally...
We have our second hospital appointment at 10am so have my list of questions ready and a sample jar in the mobile phone pocket of my handbag
. God I hope it's normal! 0 -

Das Kitty, the security guys in the hospital are effing brilliant. If your father does manage to find out your whereabouts just call a midwife and get her to alert security. They'll remove him from the hospital quick as a flash. Happened while I was in the Rotunda with a girl beside me...0 -

Haha yeah sorry about that! I think there was a number of us mummies up late. Bloody child can't even scream yet and it's already keeping me up! :P
I agree about the dad situation. I'm all for Father's Rights...but with anyone who has rights...they need to prove they deserve them! I think it's the same for the mummies. For anyone really. Prove you will be a good thing in both mummy and babies life, and there ya go. No problem. Act the maggot, be a problem and hinder instead of help...and whats the point?
You make me feel better about the doppler now! I feel abnormal for not wanting to hear my babies heartbeat all the time. My baby is just so active I'm not bothered. Even on a quiet day I'll feel a kick or two or a few squirms. I don't think my baby likes any of the scans or foetal heart monitors either...i frequently hear kicks!
Oh and good luck with the second appoitnment! Fingers crossed for your urine sample! I don't think the anti biotics got rid of my 2 kidney infections this last week....so I feel your dread. Let us know how you get on. xx0 -

Will be thinking of you. All will be grand though guys, try not to worry and enjoy having a good look at your little one.
Are you having another scan between this one and the 20 week one?
Was delighted with my urine sample (LOL), was a bit worried about GD but great to get the all clear so I can still have my sweet stuff.

Diabetic pregnancies tend to get scanned a lot more, having said that, it is only for about 30 seconds so I do not feel too bad about baby, I dont think that our one minds, it is quite happy to sleep (much to my worry), I like to see it moving in the scan. Have to run off for an eye test now, part of the joys of being diabetic and pregnant - we are doing everything we can for the not so little one (I check every 1.5 hours at night that the bs is OK as mine are not stable but we are both very tired. I would never forgive myself if this little one did not have every chance, especially with our past history of mis, I still feel that I did things wrong, I cant help that.Will be thinking of you.

Baby was really active last night, I had a curry so maybe that did it to it...however I temporarily gained more weight as a result and am going to be killed today in the clinic...I hate the weigh in, I know that the weight gain is only short term (am also constipated), will be put on a diet, not nice 0

Hi hacked,
I'm not pregnant so I know I don't belong in this thread, sorry!
I just got over an awful kidney infection, I did try to drink loads of water and cranberry juice but I also got cranberry capsules and Solidago Complex tincture from a herbal health store, I don't know if these can be used during pregnancy but it'd be worth going to a good health store and asking for their advice.
Also a heat pack or hot water bottle on your back where your kidneys are was also recommended to me, as hot as you can stand it for 2 hours, gets the kidneys working to flush it out faster.
Hope this helps some bit, and someone can benefit from my suffering!
