All newish books are there, as are a lot of older ones. The only ones I don't think are available are ones that are no longer in print - but then you can send a request to the publisher to ask them to put it Kindle format.<br /><br />Oh, and there are loads of classics - from Jane Austin to Sherlock Holmes - that are completely free, as they are outside their copywrite limit.<br /><br />Hope you've recovered from your bug, and good luck to Cassie for Monday &nbsp;<img src="http://www.mecfsparents.org.uk/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/smiley.gif" border="0" alt="Smiley" title="Smiley" /><br /><br />I've (well, Mark) filled out my IB50 and it's in the post. Makes for pretty grim reading, but such is life.

Chat http://www.mecfsparents.org.uk/cgi-bin/Yabb2.3.1/YaBB.pl?num=1274750174/6#6 HI,<br /><br />Just wondering how you got on with the testing? Also how did you manage to get tested for this.<br /><br />Was at a new support group last night and someone was talking about it. <br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />Nikki<br /><br /> http://www.mecfsparents.org.uk/cgi-bin/Yabb2.3.1/YaBB.pl?num=1282312890/9#9 ME/CFS Parents/Chat http://www.mecfsparents.org.uk/cgi-bin/Yabb2.3.1/YaBB.pl?num=1282312890/9#9 ah soooooooooooo sweet - that is the smile of 'it wasn't me' <img src="http://www.mecfsparents.org.uk/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/cheesy.gif" border="0" alt="Cheesy" title="Cheesy" /> http://www.mecfsparents.org.uk/cgi-bin/Yabb2.3.1/YaBB.pl?num=1283541776/6#6 ME/CFS Parents/Birth Announcements http://www.mecfsparents.org.uk/cgi-bin/Yabb2.3.1/YaBB.pl?num=1283541776/6#6 Hi hun, congrats again! Re the breastfeeding i did find it settled a bit round the 6 week mark when your milk regulates itself. If you have a fast flow, like I did, sometimes it helps to hand express a little beforehand so the milk slows down and doesnt spurt out quite as quickly &nbsp;<img src="http://www.mecfsparents.org.uk/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/smiley.gif" border="0" alt="Smiley" title="Smiley" /> Just to check (you are probably doing this anyway!) are you feeding him from the one side for quite a while? Its best to keep putting noah back on the one side until you feel that boob is empty that way he gets the hindmilk too and it may keep him satisfied for longer, although babies do tend to feed lots the first few weeks anyway! <br /><br />F had colic too and I never really found a solution but he did get much better. I found its just the initial few weeks that is really hard going and if you can get through that then it does get so much easier (and for me much less hassle than sterilising and making up bottles). <br /><br />Sorry your MIL is still being a pain. Just ignore her! and dont feel pressured to have visitors if you wont feel up to it. <br />Hugs &nbsp;<img src="http://www.mecfsparents.org.uk/yabbfiles/Smilies/hugs.gif" border="0" alt="Smiley" title="Smiley" /><br />A x http://www.mecfsparents.org.uk/cgi-bin/Yabb2.3.1/YaBB.pl?num=1281639827/5#5 ME/CFS Parents/Pregnancy and birth http://www.mecfsparents.org.uk/cgi-bin/Yabb2.3.1/YaBB.pl?num=1281639827/5#5 hiya, i've only just seen this, but i had gestational diabetes with my 2nd pregnancy and then diagnosed as type 1 since then, i'm happy to answer any questions you have, i'm pretty good at the whole diabetes thing, my hba1c during pregnancy was 5.3 (which is that of a non-diabetic!) so my consultant said i was exemplary. <br /><br />Try not to worry, but please reply here or pm me if you have any questions!!!<br /><br />Nikki<br />x http://www.mecfsparents.org.uk/cgi-bin/Yabb2.3.1/YaBB.pl?num=1283348244/9#9 ME/CFS Parents/Chat http://www.mecfsparents.org.uk/cgi-bin/Yabb2.3.1/YaBB.pl?num=1283348244/9#9 Ohhhh Have a fantastic day Celena. &nbsp;I am sure that the adrenalin will carry you through <img src="http://www.mecfsparents.org.uk/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/smiley.gif" border="0" alt="Smiley" title="Smiley" /> &nbsp;Just try to remember particular moments as I found after a lot of it was just a blur! &nbsp;<br /><br />I feel rubbish <img src="http://www.mecfsparents.org.uk/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/sad.gif" border="0" alt="Sad" title="Sad" /> &nbsp;The whole car thing has caused another collapse. &nbsp;Had the Peugeot approved bodyshop people out this morning to do a quote, and when I found out how much I was too scared to go and tell the neighbour so Don had to do it! As expected he wasn't happy adn said it had to go through the insurance. &nbsp;Then things got better - I rang the bodyshop and they referred me to Peugeot Accident Assist who are going to deal with the whole thing, including a courtesy car! &nbsp;So I wait for the body shop to ring me and arrange when to have it repaired, then I ring Peugeot Accdent Assist and they set me up with a courtesy car! An hour later our neighbour's insurers rang to offer to arrange repairs and a courtesy car - don't think they were happy I had a third party organising things at the repairer of my choice &nbsp;<img src="http://www.mecfsparents.org.uk/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/grin.gif" border="0" alt="Grin" title="Grin" /> &nbsp;Am so relieved now - bit nervous what the loan car will be as they said they'd match size but not necessarily another Peugeot and our car is the biggest I've ever driven! &nbsp;But at least I will be able to get out!<br /><br />Thinking of you all even if I'm not coherent enough to reply in detail to you all!<br /><br />Lynne xx<br />PS Good on you Sarah for giving the guy in the shop 85p - sounds liek it made his day<br /><br />PPS One good thing happened yesterday - Don got a promotion point at work which means he now gets paid a little more and it all helps atm!!!!! http://www.mecfsparents.org.uk/cgi-bin/Yabb2.3.1/YaBB.pl?num=1283428668/0#0 ME/CFS Parents/M.E.

(jumping out of bed and dashing to bathroom to check isn't exactly filling dean with loving feelings towards me either)<br /><br />i'm expecting it to just be another m.e. or pernicious anaemia (vit B12 deficiency) type symptom, but thought i'd check.<br />i have checked the kids for scabies and no signs on any of us, so it's not that..(always the paranoid nurse!) <img src="http://www.mecfsparents.org.uk/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /><br /><br />thanks for reading yet another of my posts!<br />sarah xx http://www.mecfsparents.org.uk/cgi-bin/Yabb2.3.1/YaBB.pl?num=1283189883/3#3 ME/CFS Parents/Pregnancy and birth http://www.mecfsparents.org.uk/cgi-bin/Yabb2.3.1/YaBB.pl?num=1283189883/3#3 Just wanted to let you know that I know of several Mums who have successful VBACs, so it's definitely not out of the question.<br /><br />I hope you keep more well this pregnancy! http://www.mecfsparents.org.uk/cgi-bin/Yabb2.3.1/YaBB.pl?num=1279549152/4#4 ME/CFS Parents/M.E. Chat http://www.mecfsparents.org.uk/cgi-bin/Yabb2.3.1/YaBB.pl?num=1279549152/4#4 I don't use underarm deodorant that uses a propellant, my underarm skin gets really sensitive, and a propellant causes burns! &nbsp;I use a deodorant called pit rok (no joke), which is a pump-action one, so ozone friendly, and seems to work. &nbsp;you can get it in boots, or any large chemist I suppose, and although it's a bit more expensive than other deodorants, one bottle lasts me about a month. &nbsp;You could try this, as it's really gentle, and some of the stuff that's on the market is really harsh. &nbsp;You could try changing your deodorant, and see if that makes a difference?
