I went private with OLOL and it cost 2600 with Dr Milner(2009) but got no Dr Milner at the birth or private room in hospital but was still charged. I am due again in 3 weeks and am attending Mount Carmel. I did the affordable shared care as I didnt want to travelling into the hospital for every visit. I live just south of Drogheda and it takes 45…[Read more]

Not sure if this is any help but we had a communion party at home two years ago and used food bought directly from kilbrides cusine. We got buckets of salad, catering sized quiches and large lasagnes and large desserts(apple cakes,cheese cakes). I had to collect all the food the day before but leet the cakes defrost but it was very low cost and…[Read more]

I used Oisin blinds very recently and found them very reasonable and a great selection of designs. I got 2 roller blinds and blinds for a french door.

I have been asked to be godmother to my nephew and would love some good ideas for a christening gift. Nothing to pricey as I already have bought him a lovely rocker chair/swing as a welcome present. So was only planning on spending around the 50/60 euro mark. Any ideas?????

I can only repeat what the girls have already said. I had a PHN tell me at 16 week check that my baby may have a delayed development. I was working in the health services with children at the time and never noticed anything neither did any of my family ever notice but like you, the PHN referred me to Navan to see a doctor over there. Well I was in…[Read more]

Hi Julymam, hope your keeping well. I had my first appt at 13 weeks and gp at 18 weeks.Next hospital one is the anonomly scan at 22 weeks but no consultant until 24 weeks.

Hi ladies,
I was told you still are producing eggs if you have a regular monthly cycle but it all about the quality of the eggs you are producing and how the early cell division progresses. I researched this a while back. It might be of interest to some of you girl who are thinking about trying.
It is about CO-enzyme Q10.

Dr. Yaakov Bentov, an…[Read more]

Hi Pookie,
I went to Sean Boylan,s clinic in Dunboyne and it was a success. My hubby and I decided on one last baby, so I decided to go to Sean Boylan’s clinic to get advice as I am 38 so knew I was coming close to the end of my reproducing days. I was given a combination of herbs and conceived within 3 months. My herbs consisted of enzeyems to…[Read more]

Congrats back. I was very sick in the beginning but eased off now. I had an early scare but all is grand. I had a scan at 11weeks and a couple more at my booking appt at 14weeks.I am 37 onthis one so went for first trimester screening and got back fantastic results so have no worries about baby’s health. But have to wait until my 21st week to get…[Read more]

Hi Julymam,
I am due the end of June. 16 weeks today 🙂

I use to have a Candy one and had nothing but trouble with. Had engineer out 5 times within 6 months of getting it. Eventally did so much complaining to Candy, they refunded my money(not the store, Candy/Hoover). Cant fault the Candy/Hoover customer service.

Well I do agree with you Taylor, if I didnt have medical insurance I would certainly be heading into the publlic system. But we are lucky enough to still have private cover so I think why sit around OLOL or any mayernity public waiting room when I can be seen within minutes, scanned and back to work within 2hours. I am happy and boss is certainly…[Read more]

I understand you not wanting to attend OLOL, I feel the medical care is good but the system is all wrong and the staff have to work under such stress and budget confinements.
I am attending Mount Carmel and they are offering a care shared option for 1650euro. You get 3 scans, all bloods, delivery fees,epidural(if required) 2/3 nights semi private…[Read more]

Just emailed you on behalf of me and my mum.

Hi Mum of three and bump,
I had an okay expierence in OLOL but recently I needed to attend the maternity section and have to say they are under staffed and over strecthed beyond belief. In june 2011 I had a bleed at 11 weeks, went to gp who referred me to the EPU. I arrived at the EPU and was redirected to the A&E and after 3hrs sitting bleeding…[Read more]

Well Done, it is such a step in theright direction. Lets hope other centres follow in your foot steps.

Hi and congtats,

I am 11 weeks gone and was considering OLOL for my appt and I too have had 2 previous mc’s. I rang the hospital @ 6 weeks gone re first appt and was told anything from 18-22 weeks as they are very over strecthed. I asked about a reassurance scan and she said no, they dont offer them. I asked to make an appt with the EPU and they…[Read more]
