Hello ladies. 2010 is proving quite busy....!
Just in case I'm not the only one suffering from Mos bites, here's the response I had to the question I sent to the pharmacist who deals with such questions from neurotic mothers to be!! Hope it helps
"Insect repellent is not usually recommended to be applied to large areas of the body. Apply to small areas only and cover up with light coloured long-sleeved clothing to prevent mosquito bites. Alternatively clothes could be sprayed with the insect repellent.
For bites, you could use hydrocortisone cream (eg Dermaid) to help reduce itch and swelling, or for an antiseptic you could use Savlon antiseptic. One of the ingredients in SOOV bite I am unable to find safety information on, it is unlikely to be a problem, but the ingredients in Savlon are safe.
I am unable to find information regarding safety data of Pawpaw ointment, it is unlikely to be of concern however. It may be used.

For a tip on what to put on mozzie bites - Try vicks vaporub.. it's awsome... Works pretty much on all types of bites too, like ant bites or midgies... Sorry no tips on repellants... HTH..
Hi Girls.I have been so annoyed the past 2 days.My lovely big belly deflated after i went to the toilet sorry (TMI) and now im not so big.I never thought constipation could have caused so much bloating!! I even cried yesterday saying to my mum "There's probably no baby there!! Im so flat now and i want my belly back". (I know,what a sook i am)
This paranoia is driving me up the driveway to a nut house!!
Im at that stage where symptoms are only,frequent weeing,weird dreams,sore nipples and not feeling movements yet.( I thought i did last week but that must have been wind)
I dont get another scan til 19 weeks and i cant stand it!!
Mum understands my paranoia as with all i have been through to get here but DH thinks im being silly.He says "You have 3 scan photos showing us a healthy baby...what more do you want?" I could strangle him for his insensitiveness. (He hates it when i cry,he gets quite annoyed) PLUS they both say i clearly look pregnant,but i think my tummy has always looked chubby to the rest of my 47KG frame.
My question is did anyone else feel this way until they were comforted by movements.?

yes me! Look a few pages ago, I got lots of good advice, and it really helped. Dare I say it, your DH is right. You are pregnant in the absence of information saying otherwise! If nothing is going wrong, you'll just be growing away quietly. Distract yourself with other stuff. I've been working out when 150 days is, 125, 100 and so on.

Hi girls, Feeling so much better today. Quickly do my birth story, I had the prostin gel put on at 4 pm and contractions pretty much started straight away. They sent me down to the birth suites at 10 to have epidural in as because of my pelvis they wanted it started early. So that went in round about 1 am and as I rolled onto my side so it worked on oth side not just one my waters broke. I was examined and was only 3cm dilated we were all taking bets as to what time. Concences was about 5am. Well in just under an hour i was fully dilated and with a few good pushes he was here. It was the most wonderful experience having him put on my chest still covered in goop. We didnt have this with Campbell he was rushed off to intensive care before i got to hold him. The worry I had with the two boys bonding was a waste. Campbell came in bypassed me and wnet straight to Xavier and was patting him and touching him and kissing him. It was the the most beautiful thing to see.
Now for the gorry bits. I had a large blood loss and so last night had three blood transfussions, but /i feel wonderful today. Maybe home tomorrow we will have to see as Xavier has an ultrasound at 4. He is feeding well.
Hope everyone is doing well.
