LSJFASE - delighted all went well for you at scan and that your measuring more than you thought.
Jillian - I know what you mean about not feeling positive, I am sure you will start feeling kicks soon. I find that I am second guessing kicks and one minute thinking I did feel it then thinking I didn't. Getting loads now (am21 weeks almost) but still freak if I dont feel them for a while. On Nathan I felt flutters from as early as 10 weeks and that didn't turn out well, so am glad I really didn't start to feeling anything this time properly till I was 17/18 weeks. Every person and every pregnancy is different. Take care and glad your mum is ok, not nice that she has to start Chemo but glad she is getting looked after etc.
Leigh - sorry for your loss but congrats also on this pregnancy, hope your keeping well.
Girls , I am having such a bad day, bad week or two to be honest , good days and bad days with today being really bad. I am just so exhausted all the time and am snapping at everyone. DD and DS who are generally very good, have been having their head bitten off for no real reason. I am loosing it from time to time, today being one of those days. Just screaming at them for the slightest of things. I am finding it difficult to get the energy together to play with them and keep them occupied and when I do try to do something with them (like earlier when I got them bare foot and feet in paints and make footprints on the big page I laid out for them in the garden), I lost my temper, as the wind was blowing the page all over the place , they kept slipping onthe paint and walking footprints on the patio and not on the page and I ended up stopping it after about 10 mins as I just broke down into tears! Its not right, they spend half there lives looking at me crying and loosing it and end up comforting me and looking after me instead of the other way around. I thought all these were probs I had before I moved back here to family etc. I was so alone when I lived near Drogheda and had days like this all the time with me being on meds for PND etc. Things have gotten better here, but I think that with baby on the way I am getting totally freaked at how I am going to cope and give as much time and love and support to each of my children. I feel like all dd and ds are going to remember of their childhood is me in tears and shouting at them. Some weekends I end up narky and snapping at DH because even though he is brillant with them, and helps out, I still seem to do all the looking after of them and cleaning up etc and never ever seem to get time to myself. But then I feel selfiish for thinking like that as he works hard all week to keep us in this house and in the clothes we have on our back and I have nothing. I suppose trying to toilet train ds at the moment isn't the best idea either, he is weeing and pooing all over the place (just cleaned up another mess). Sorry girls for the rant, I just feel better for getting it off my chest to be honest, I am just scared of being a useless mother altogether and worrying of how I will cope when new baby arrives. Also its coming up to 1 year anniversary since Nathan died (the 21st of Aug) and I guess that is playing on my mind also. Sorry this rant if all over the place (keep getting distracted with ds and his weeing and pooing)!!!
Anyway I better go, just needed to talk even if it is to myself!!!! Thanks.

jillian dont worry about not feeling positive I know how you feel. I dont think I will be totally happy until I have a baby in my arms and know that he or she is well. its totally normal after what you have been through to be feeling like this. I get a scan every week since 6 weeks and I see a heartbeat every time but still cant get excited because I think well it may not be there next week so will see what happens. And you have so much to worry about beucase you didnt find out on Doireann that there was something wrong until 36 weeks so it is bound to be so difficutl for you. Not only have you got your own worries you have the worries of your mam on top of it all which must be so difficult. I hope she gets through the chemo okay - well as best that she can god love her. xx Just try and look after yourself as best you can in your circumstances and hopefully all going well you will have your bouncing baby in your arms before christmas such a lovely Christmas present that Doireann will send to you. Take care xx
susyk dont worry about breaking down crying in front of the children. My two eldest have a tough time with me for about two years due to family circumstances when they were 5 and 1 until they were 7 and 3. All i did was cry and shout at them and they are fine now (well i think they are!!!) No on a serious note they are 19 and 14 now and they are great girls so just try your best and give them hugs and they will be fine. It can be tough coming up to thinking about Nathan.
well on a happy note I'm 39 on Friday cant belive the years are flying by!!! I'm getting old!!!
I'm snapping at everybody at the moment not really bad but just snappy and I keep telling my dh he is doing my head in!! well not seriously but tbh I need to be saying something or I'll shout at them all. I suppose its the hormones and the worry and stress and not been able to enjoy the pregnacy which will be my last as I should be able to. Well enought moaning my two youngest dd are playing away here beside me with the Peppa pig house and it is really time for bed. Dh was suppposed to be cutting the grass but i think he is gone MIA!!! Must check

Girls,
I'm having a baby!!!!!!!. All went well. was literally Sh....g it and said I wouldt look at the screen but they had a big screen on the wall in front of you so you couldnt avoid it. Saw baby( last timesac was empty) . She put me back 8 days , only measuring 7+2. but I'm ok with that as I have been put back on all my 3 although I was more sure of my dates this time. So saw the heartbeat and it was so strong and heard it too. Back at 10 weeks for another scan. Thanks girls for all the prayers.
I'll so personals later as my head is mush

Lastone - that is great news, delighted for you.
LSJFASE - Thanks for the advice, feel better today, brought the kids out to playzone, got face painted and went to McDonalds and they had great time. Bit freaked since I got back though as without meaning to give you tmi, I was just on the loo and have been constipated alot lately and managed to go finally, anyway as I wiped and looked down I noticed blood, not much. I freaked at first but think its just from the struggle (if you know what I mean.... sorry tmi), I am just sitting down now with cuppa trying to relax and I can feel baby moving so really do think its fine, but I am going to keep a close eye and if there is any more then I think I will have to head to hospital. Just trying not to panic and remain calm.
Anyway hope everyone is ok, chat to you all soon.

Thanks girls,
Susy: as you said I would say it was the struggle and a little tear. Its too coincidental that it happened at the same time as going to the loo.

Hi everyone
Skittles Im so sorry for your loss I know this is not the forum you'd prefer to be on but the girls here are so helpful and understanding look after yourself. And pg we will be here for you when you get your bfp too.
I'm sorry for the lack of personals again Im just so unbelieveably tired the whole time and have been quite emotional all week after the weekend I should have really taken the weekend off it took so much out of me being on my own on my due date. When the next staff arrived in to releive me on sunday I just burst out crying to her I barely no her as I haven't been working here that long I just told her it was pg hormones I was so embarrassed though. Still not feeling great I didn't realise the due date would get me down so much and Ive found myself really freaking out about things going wrong which I haven't done in weeks really! However Ive only 2 more shifts and the off for two weeks so looking forward to the break. Also looking forward to the meet up!
Im so glad to here all the positive news on the scan fronts
Hope everyone is doing well

Hi to everyone else, hope your all ok.

hi girls, delighted to hear all the scans are going well. It's sad for those not enjoying your pregnancies or feeling positive at the moment but it will all be worth it in the end.
SusyK, would recommend taking a tablespoon of linseed first thing every morning washed down with a large glass of water to eliminate those bathroom struggles!
Naidy, the due date is very hard for all of us I think regardless of where we are at when it comes around but you have so much to look forward to now.
Jillian, thinking of you, things must be so hard at the moment. Hope the baby gets kicking soon!
All good here girls, well apart from the lack of sleep, thank God my friend who has a baby the same age has a bad sleeper too. I think if her baby was sleeping through I wouldnt be able to handle it! Fighting with dh too which I never normally bother doing. I usually can't be arsed to keep an argument going for longer than an hour or so but have kept frosty now for 24 hours. The tiredness is turning me into a narky b*tch. Hopefully we will see some teeth soon and then things will settle back down and be like they were before.

Morning girls,
I have read back, but the brain is mush today, congrats on all the scans,sorry to anyone who is struggling at the moment.
I have another scan tomorrow, imagine 35weeks today. Thankfully im on maternity from tomorrow as well. I'm just shattered, was late for work this morning too.
Our neighbour called over with her week old niece last night, so adorable, i was afraid id drop her, they are so small, it really hit us,we will be holding our own v soon. I cant wait, im nervous but it feels like its been a long road to just get this far.

Suzy and Hedelphium, god was i relieved to read your posts, i seem to be so cranky lately i thought i was going round the bend. Not that i dont want you to be living in domestic bliss, but sometimes life is hard and to know that we are not the only ones struggling sometimes is comforting. I seem to have no time for DH lately, always seem to be impatient with him and he really doesn't deserve it. Our family is going through a lot at the moment and I think this is weighing on both our minds. The baby is definitley a positive influence though, we are both so happy about that. My ds and dd came to the doctor with me the other day and heard the babies heartbeat, they were so excited it was brilliant. We went shopping later and they bought the baby some babygrows and vests, they insisted on spending their own money, which had me welling up inside in M&S, these pg hormones are mad. xx

Hi girls,
On day off today yeah Was working late last two nights so was too tired to put up a post. So now that I have time today going to try and be more personal with post. Apologies if I leave anyone out, nightmare trying to keep flicking up and down remembering last couple of posts. I'm also not the best with a computer
Susy K I hope your feeling better. Its normal to have such bad days. its bad enough when hormones are involved never mind the impending anniversary of such a sad loss. Its always our nearest and dearest that get brunt of it, but thats because we know they understand. I've heard prunes are also very good for constipation if you can stomach them ! just looking at them turns my stomcah x x
Jillian hope you feel better in your pregnancy soon. Its so hard to be positive when your last experience was so sad. Hopefully once them kicks start in earnest you can relax a little x x
Last one Thats brilliant news i'm so happy for you. I hope i'll be joining you soon xx 
LSJFASE hope you have great birthday tomorrow and that your pregnancy is going well.x x
Naidy Thanks for your kind words, it helps so much. its ok to be upset on what should have been your due date. Mine wouldnt have been till march and i'm still dreading it already. Hope you enjoy holidays x x
hedelphium hope you see them teeth soon and catch up on some sleep xx
Noellem hope you enjoy start of maternity leave . just put them feet up and relax and let everyone wait on you hand and foot. won't be long till your hands are full with a beautiful bundle of joy x x x
apologies again if i've left anyone out i'm sure i'll get better at this ! Going to dh's friends wedding on saturday. dreading it a little bit as clsoe friend just announced she's pregnant, which means friends slagging us over not joining the family circle yet !! my mc was only four weeks ago today so things a little raw I dont know if i'll be able to laugh things off as normal. I know our friends mean well and they dont know of our loss and I dont want to upset people by leaving things out at wedding and making them feel bad for just trying to have a laugh with us, when they weren't to know. Hope i'm just being paraanoid and friends wont say anything
Talk again soon best wishes to all x

Hi girls, quick one from me, i got my ring today. Its sooo gorgeous i actually feel engaged now its mad!! Will try and get a pic up on FB later, im dying to show it off :)
Skittles- at least you know what to expect when you see your friends so you can prepare for them saying something if you know what i mean. I remember going to DP's grannys; funeral and his alcoholic uncle started asking me how long i was gone and that i was to look after the baby etc, it was so unexpected cos he didnt even know i had been pregnant and i got so upset it was awful. At least if you know something may be said then you can have an answer in your own head before it happens. Just stay strong and keep telling yourself that they dont know anything, the day will be over before you know it. Big hugs xx
Hi to everyone else :) xx

Hi all feeling much better today feeling rested even though I didn't sleep again last night this heat is killing me!!! Having a really easy time in work so that is helping.
Poodles can't wait to see the ring
Skittles I know how you feel but sometimes its the thought of having to face people that is worse than when it actually happens what I used to do is have a code with dh so that he knew when i was feeling uncomfortable and he'd change the subject or intervien in someway I found the first few months I had to have him by my side all the time when we were out socializing but as the time went on I started to feel like myself and didn't need him as my crutch anymore.
Benkate thats so cute that your lo's wanted to buy there new sister/brother something out of their own money they sound like really lovely kids
NoelleM its getting so close now hope you have a nice few relaxing weeks on mat leave before baby comes
SusyK just had proper read of your post I was just so tired the last few days only skimmed over peoples posts. In my opinion anyone who takes the time to do barefoot painting with their kids even if it is for only ten mins has to be a great mom so many kids are just plonked infront of the tv most of the day without any other sort of activity. Try not to beat yourself up too much you have been through so much and now you are pg with all the messsed up hormones to content with and just like the rest of us you are doing your best which by the sounds of it is pretty good x
Hedelphium I can imagine it must be good to hear other mums having the same experience with sleepless nights etc. pg when she cuts her teeth you will get some respite
Lastone you must be over the moon with your scan its great to hear the hb strong everytime I go for a scan my heat is in my mouth til the doc says the hb is fine its the most beautiful sound
LSJFASE you are more than entitled to be off form and Im sure your dh understands! Have you told your girls about the baby yet?
Naillij good to hear from you so sorry you are not feeling positive at the moment but its totally understandable with every thing you have been through and now coping with your moms illness. I hope the chemo isn't too tough on her Im sure she is a fighter like her daughter.
Hope I haven't left anyone out have to keep copying and pasting everytime I want to read back which is a pain!
Has anyone got any advise of travel systems Im addled with the amount of choice I had my heart set on the bug*boo c*mel*on but now that its come the time to put deposit down can't really bring myself to spend that much! Have any of ye any experience with Gr*co Symbio? I like the look of it on screen but is it very big in the flesh?

Poodles great news on getting the ring do put up a pitcure looking forward to see it.
naidy i havent told the girls yet I'm only ten weeks this saturday and still feel it may be a little early to tell them but I suppose at this stage if things so wrong it would be difficult to hide it from them like I did at Christmas. I just feel that I have to go through so many milestones before I feel like I'll have this baby for real and to get their hopes up as my dd7 all shes wants is a little brother god love her. I know I will have to tell them soon a few of my friends now know so maybe after I have the scan next tuesday and all is well I might tell them then.
hedelphium anyone says that their baby sleeps every night and are brillant are not telling the truth!! With my four I could never say that they sleep all night every night so dont listen to the people that tell you that their baby is brillant they must have very short memories because all babies wake up at some stage with teeth, hunger, sickness etc. I used to listen to my sister even know will say all mine slept the night from 4 weeks. (its a load of ****) as I remember her saying when she would be up feeding them during the night and they were well past the 4 weeks!!
susyk hope you are doing okay.
Skittles hope you are doing okay too.
and anybody that I have not mentioned hi and hope you are all doing well.
Noellem I cant belive you are 35 weeks wow thats great.

Hi girls, hope everyone is well, am exhaused again and got tired eyes so will do my best to reply to you all, apologies if I mess it up as usual....
Hedel - thanks for advice on the lineseed and water, will have to try that one out. Hope things are better with a bit more sleep and not so raty with dh etc. I know how you feel, as you know i have had bad week or two and am so tired and ratty with everyone its not funny. I really fall apart when I am over tired, especially when looking after a new baby. I remember with Evan in particular, he never slept and wanted feeding all day and night, I was falling apart with the lack of sleep and my relationship with everyone was suffering. Finally at 5 and a bit months after giving up bfing at 9 weeks and getting no sleep, we moved Evan into his own room and he actualy started to settle, he finally slept through the night, not every night to start but we got there in the end. He still never slept during the day apart from 40 mins stints every now and then but I didn't mind so much once I was getting my sleep at night. Perhaps when you move her to her own room (if you haven't already) that she will settle more. I think we were keeping him awake and restless and visa versa so you never know.
noellem - 35 weeks already, not long now and your starting maternity leave. Great. Now rest as much as you can and take care and enjoy!
benkate - hope your feeling ok and its lovely that your dd and ds wanted to buy baby something new, thats really sweet.
skittle - thanks so much for your kind words and for the info on prunes, dont mind them too much so must give them a go. Hope the wedding goes well, I know it will be hard but just stay strong and take care.
Poodle - you must be so excited about the ring, dying to see it , please do put photo up. Hope all is going well in the new house etc and that your feeling ok.
Naidy - thanks a million. You have me in tears here reading your post, it means alot to me. The tele goes on too mind you but I try to limit it as much as I can but on bad days its on more than I like. I do my best but sometimes I think its just not enough. I need to just relax and chill. As for the travel systems, cant really help you there, I mean I have one from mamas & papas that I got when DD was born (4 yrs ago) and I love it , but when DS came I still used the car seat from it but had to get double buggy for him and DD , so got the Phil & Teds one, now my problem is "how do I get three car seats into my car, in fact any car for that matter"!!!!!!!!! Cant afford new car so dont know what to do!
Had to go to Tallaght hosp with DS today, he had to see a specialist as he has a cyst on his little man!!!!! Anyway all is ok but he will have to have a minor op in the next few months. Bless him! Ouch!
Better go, am zonked!
Hope I haven't missed anyone out. Hi to all, chat soon.

Hi all,
I was in the Feb '11 birth club but started to bleed on Tues & lost our baby on Tues. Had to go to A&E in terrible pain & had a d&c. We're totallydevastated. Already have a beautiful 3yr old ds and was so excited about the new baby. I'm in bits and don't know how I'm going to cope. Lying awake for hours here in bed- exhausted but just can't sleep.My dh suggested tonight that I get a ring with the babies name engraved on it (ds insisted baby was to be calledFelix, whether a boy or a girl :-) ) Anyway, just thought I'd say hi.
Georgina

Hi girls.
Been a while since was on, have been so busy lately, and so very tired. Have only skimmed over posts, will read back properly later, as am now on 3 weeks hols, at last!! Badly needed.
I spent the eve in a&e on Wed, as had bleed at lunchtime, was terrified it was all history repeating itdelf, and after 2.5 hr wait, got scanned. All is fine, tg and baby is measuring a day ahead now, so was 12 weeks yest. Still not relaxed about it, but little more so, after seeing baby jumping around. Still such a long journey tho. Still feel drained after it all. When the scan pic came up, couldnt bear to look at first, but then she pointed out everything and I burst out crying.
Georgina, again, hun, am so sorry you had to leave the Feb club, my heart goes out to you. When you've had a healthy pg, it's the last thing you think will ever happen to you, and after going through it, I would wish that no woman would ever have to go through that. The girls on here are great support and I would have been lost without them throughout my mc. The ring idea sounds lovely.
LSJ, happy birthday hun, hope you ok...
sorry, havent read back much at all, so much since was last on and as said, what with the full time work, and so very little sleep(still sleeping atrociously), havent energy to do anything! But, just this one week to go til end of first trimester, so roll on next fri for start of week 14 and hopefully, more rest and energy.
Will be back again in the next day or so when get to properly read over posts.

Georgina , so sorry for your loss. There are no words to describe the feeling. I'll be honest with you I was totally naive to mcs. I had 3 heathly pregnancies and babies and went for no.4 thinking all would be fine again and thenhad mmc at 11 weeks. I honestly never though I would get through it. I cried so much and never saw light at the end of the tunnel. But the girls here were great and gave me great support and even though some of the girls were getting pregnant again and I naturally was a tad envious but it gave me hope that I would get pregnant again and it would be ok. And my turn came around and am now 7 weeks. nervous but happy. Time is the only thing that will heal you and each day will get a bit easier but for now grieve and rant and rave here all you like. take care of yourself.

Hi Girls,
Last day on the job, yipee, the stress is unreal the last few weeks.
Got on great at the scan, our baba is 5.7 at the moment
Lsfase, i know its hard to think a few mths ago, i had just had my m/c and now im almost ready to met my baba, we are so excited at this stage.
Georgina, im so sorry you lost your little angel, its a tough blow, the ring is a lovely idea.
I have no experience on what bugee is best, i bought the Quinny buzz, the only experience i have of it is that it handles great on corners according to dh, who just had to test drive it!!!!!!!!!!!
Poodle congrats on the ring!!
Hi to everyone else, so sorry i dont have a lot of personals up but im in the office today***

Georgina, so sorry to hear that. I also was in the Feb `11 birth club but lost ours at 9 weeks, 2 weeks ago. We have a ds who will be 2 in Oct. It was our 2nd mc, with my 1st in March. Got pregnant straight away after that but it wasn`t to be. We`ve 2 trees planted in the garden for our angels but the ring is a lovely idea also. I`m not too bad now but can also have bad days too. Sometimes an unexpected thing can catch me off guard. The emotional strain of everything in last few days probably has you drained. I know I was bleeding for 3 weeks before the mc. The rollercoaster of emotions had me so weak and tired. Just take it easy for next few weeks. I`m on a multivitamin and iron to try and build myself up. Take care x

Georgina I am sorry to hear of your loss. Its very hard at a time like this but the girls here are great and I would have been lost without them after I lost Ellie last October. Just take care of yourself and give yourself time. xx
markboy I hope you are okay that was tough going on you but great to hear that all is well. I'm bleeding on and off now so have to stop panicking everytime I see blood which is hard as I'm afraid the one time I ignore it all will go wrong. We just have to think positive.
everybody else hi. Have to go inlaws are coming down for a tea party. my youngest dd's dont think a birthday is proper unless everyone here to help blow out the candles!! Take care.

Hi girls, have had 2 night's sleep worthy of the name so feel so much better. DD slept from 7pm to 5.45 am the night before last without waking. Last night she did wake but I was able to shush her back to sleep from the bed and I fell asleep myself going ssssshhh! So I only had to get out of the bed once to settle her. Let's hope we are nearly. This is after a month of following a plan to get her to sleep by teaching her how to settle herself. She even napped better today.
Markyboy, glad everything is ok, it's very hard when you bleed and you just think here we go again, I got an awful fright when it happened to me. Hope you find more energy from somewhere. x
LSJFASE, nearly 10 weeks now, slowly slowly you'll get there.
Noelle, can't believe you are 35 weeks! So exciting.
Naidy, I wish I had got a bugaboo. There are loads for sale second hand and you would pick it up for about €500. The good thing about it is that the handle can be moved forward and back so that you don't have to change the seat unit around if you want the baby to face the other way. I would have found it very useful. It's just convenience though, not necessity! Our best buy was actually the Baby Bjorn, she loves that. Always happy in it.
Poodle, congrats on the ring. it's fab!
SusyK, I am going to move dd into her own room when we get back from hols. I think you are right that you can disturb each other. I'm glad I've got her out of the feeding now, the fact she slept 10 1./2 hours the other night proves she doesn't need it so I'm going to hold firm otherwise she will be expecting to get fed in the night forever. Hope the constipation gets sorted, it makes you feel horrible. I always feel like I am being poisoned or something.
Benkate, glad you're well and that you're all looking forward so much to the new arrival. That was very sweet of your 2!
Georgina, very sorry to hear of your loss. It's utterly devastating and the emptiness and loneliness is hard to understand unless you've been through it. We've all been there and thought we couldn't cope but you do somehow and you carry on and ttc again....and hopefully have a very happy ending. x Nice to name your little baby, he or she was a life as much as any other baby. x

Hi. Hope all da Mums to be are keeping well. For those of you who are ttc or just had a mc, like ourselves, try and stay positive. Was just wondering if anyone ever tried the Pregnacare conception supplememts? There are also Fertility Plus ones that can be bought in a health store but they are more expensive.

Caroline, I took those and I had dh on zinc supplements also for his little fellas. I also used preseed which is a sperm friendly lubricant that is supposed to help them get into the womb as after the mc I felt things weren't great in that department. I will never know if any of these things helped but it does no harm to take the vitamins anyway. Tbh I think that labelling things "Pregna" or "Fertility" is a big marketing ploy preying on women who are desperate to conceive. I think a normal multivitamin plus folic acid is probably just as good and likely a small fraction of the price. If you compare the bottles you would probably find little difference.
Tina, hope you're enjoying your weekend. How are you feeling these days?

Hey ladies hope you are all well. Again for those i have not spoke to before i am very sorry for your losses it is a very tough time and there are no words to describe how you may be feeling right now.
I was on this forum for a long time i had a MC in April 2009 and found the girls on this site a great support without them and getting my feelings vented her most days i would have been lost!!
Anyhow i have got my BFP and i am due on the 2nd April please god date for first scan is 14th sep so just praying that all goes well this time.
I can see alot of oldies here that i remember and see that there are BFPs wishing you all the best with your pregnancies.
Hedel how the hell are ya? Baby Chloe must be huge at this stage andfrom what i read you are having fun with the teething process great to hear things are going well fr you hun.
Ive finally had the courage to get onto the April 2011 club was very nervous even posting there for the first time as even though im thrilled about the pregnancy im still quite scared just prayingthat things will go well for me ad DP this time around.
Okay ladies off this now i will chat to you later.

Meisha! Huge Congrats!!  How are you feeling? Finally got my bfp too a year after MC, due Feb 2011.
Hope you're doing ok Caroline, I took some vitamin supplement thingy with the word pregna in it but mostly really for the folic acid. Not sure it actually helped with conceiving.
How are you hedelphium? When are you going away again? Should be fun! Dying to go away on holiday myself but doesn't look like we can afford it this year. I took a few days off this week and am determined to do a touristy thing here in Dublin  Also seriously need to clean the house, have been veeery lazy lately. My mum and dad are coming over for a visit at the end of September funnily enough at the exact time of my 20 week scan. I finally told them last week. They were happy, my mum insisted that she knew because I hadn't been in touch lately. Asked her if she wanted to go to the hospital with me for the scan but am now wondering whether they let you bring someone in?
How are you feeling LSJFASE? Are you still getting scanned every week? It's great that they're looking after you so well!
Hope you had a good time in Belfast TinaM!
Congrats on finally being on maternity leave NoelleM!
Susy, how are you feeling?
Hope you're doing ok Georgina.
Hi everyone else!
