    hi girls,

    greenslw - that sounds like a pretty good week! and i'm only an occasionaly harry high pants (lol smithy). i prefer the roll-down under my belly.

    good on you for cleaning bella! i can't do much these days... but enough to keep the house tidy however the effort requires a good 2 - 3 hr sleep! lol.

    lise - i had such a nasty flu this year that they thought i had swine flu at about 20 weeks and was put on tamiflu. they never tested me tho so not sure i actually had it or not. I've chosen not to go the vaccine cos i'm so close to giving birth and we are out of the big peak season for now. after the bub is born i might get it, however, I just don't feel comfortable getting it while preg. I'm sure its safe and all but just not for me. hope that helps.

    OMG MISS TANIA!!!! when you say it like that! lol. enjoy your last few days as just you and DH. i'm so excited for you.

    anyone heard from murphy??? oooh she;s a mummy now, that's so exciting.

    hi seph, lenny, poppyfairy, bdt, smithy, melbel and all the lovelies

    afm - mum is here and i'm geting spoilt - slow cooked lamb shanks with veg! yummo! lol. went and got a quilt set, mobile, sheets etc all matching today, it's going to look super cute! so had a lovely day. going to finish it off with a movie it's nice to have company but i am still missing DH so much! oooh better go. i'm checking in when i can.

    Grub, that is my problem with the Swine Flu vaccine. Noone is actually being tested to confirm they actually have swine flu and not just seasonal flu! Since the symptoms for Swine flu are almost exactly the same as seasonal flu and noone is actually being tested, how can we definitely say what number of people actually have or have had Swine Flu? So it is hard to say if it is a pandemic or not. So I am not going to rush out and get what seems to be a dodgy vaccine when I am not completely sure I need it!! Especially when pregnant!!! I read somewhere that there is a chance that the average person has naturally developed immunity to Swine Flu through everyday contact and getting a vaccine would be unnecessary. I just hope that my contact with hundreds of kids when teaching (and their parents on parents evening) in the early days of Swine Flu has given me some immunity already. We are entering the winter flu season so the government were pushing the vaccine for pregnant women but seem to have calmed down now. Weird?? Alot of National Health Service staff came out and said they were refusing to have it when they were told they had to as they didn't trust it. So it seems in Australia and in the UK health professionals are not keen.

    Hi Ladies,

    Thanks to all for your lovely words of welcome.

    Grub - your shopping sounds exciting. I can't wait for that part! I hope your mum is still spoiling you rotten. Enjoy it while you can.

    Mellbel - I too have wondered about the swine flu vaccine, although I must say I am not that keen and leaning away from it.

    Lise - what day is your scan? Good Luck. I look forward to finding out if it's one or two little bundles.

    Miss Magpie - wow not long to go now. you must be super excited.

    Smithy - I also had a little sticky at your nursery photo's. It looks beautiful. I need to have a spring clean in our end room so I can get started.

    AFM - I had a follow-up BT this morning, so the clinic could check my levels. My HCG is up to 8,689! Still don't really have any major symptoms besides feeling a little tired and occasional tender boobs.

    Still getting to know everyone, so sorry to anyone I have missed.... A big hello and I hope you are all well.

    Hi all, hope everyone is doing well.

    Wanted to put my two bobs worth in on the whole swine flu vac. I asked my gp and he was against it. My feeling was that if the vac is not safe for my 3 year old ( as they are only giving it to children over 10) how is it safe to expose it to my unborn child. No way, will discuss it with ob next week but
    I am anti vac.

    AFM doing about the same some good days some not so great. Now adding three times a day pannadol to the drug list to keep pain to a minimum. Discussing delivery next week at ob and asking for a few days of work, my boss is being a pain. Gotta go Campbell has just woken up.
