Isn't that what Heidihi said?

Eh? But aren't rubella, parvovirus, Chicken Pox etc, all problematic in pregnancy, viruses rather than bacteria?

Thanks. I looked there but couldn't find the info. Shall look again. Xx

i have been away for the weekend so have not been keeping up. is this more dangerous than normal flu or is its ability to spread that concerns everyone? I have children at goodrich so potentially it will progress to there soon so perhaps someone who knows what they are talking about could let me know. Thanks.
Heidi hi There is conflicting opinions about taking star anise when pregnant, think it up to individuals, google "star anise pregnancy", but there are other herbs which contain Shikimic acid, one of the properties from star anise. Have a look at link above. Roche is buying up the star anise, http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/11/1128_051128_star_anise.html

That's the thing - no-one DOES really know what they're talking about.


The usual scientific realists, such as the likes of Ben Goldacre, rather than say 'it's a load of rubbish' or 'we're all doomed' have sensibly said 'it's still too early to tell'.


By all accounts anyone who's had it has suffered with nothing more than a normal bout of 'flu, no more life-threatening than the usual yearly 'flu that does the rounds.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
