ahhhhhhh im now getting ermmm BH! please lord no its way to early for this type of pain!

Fraochsmum you look lovely! Congratulations

Have been busy washing some of dd's old baby stuff: cover for bouncy chair, toys etc. Also getting party stuff ready for her birthday next week, dining room table covered in sweets, straws, crisps... Also trying to get some of the Christmas stuff ready for after.

Lol at mw who told me to take it easy. Easier said than done!

Crumpette don't know how I convinced dp to buy and order new cot, we have cotbed from dd as well but baby will go in when too big for bedside cot. I can't imagine sleeping with lo again but I know once here I will want to.

just popped back and read a bit more, writing about crumpets made me go and eat some... fraochsmum congratulations!!!! Just had a peek at your photos and you look stunning, what a gorgeous dress (and is that a kilt I see!!? )

mama2b5 only 4 days left! I am jealous, stupidly I volunteered to work later on so as far as work are concerned, if I'm not induced, I'm working up until Christmas eve when I'll be 38+ weeks I think.. aaagh...!

Firstly Congratulation Fraochsmum - i know you and DH must of had a lovely day surrounded by friends and family.Now thats out of the way, you have christmas to get through - does that mean christmas dinner x2 or will you be at home! we used to go to my mum's then pass round to MIL i loved christmas day - not looking forwards to it this timemaybe i can sleep through it!I ended up staying in another nite, but wasnt really bothered because im now walking like i have been horseriding for a month and am saddle sore! due to spd!!!!
4 days of work left!!!!!!!!!! yeh also GTT came back negative so thats good, just have to focus on having a healthy baby now

wow have been awol for a while...

lottie!!! how scary/exciting/aaagh for you, they sound like they're really excellent weights so will be fine if they do make an early appearance. DD was 6lb something at 40wks so for twins that's amazing, it must have been the crumpets

As for BH, I have been getting them quite a lot. Didn't have any in my first pregnancy though, maybe it's a subsequent pregnancy thing?

Baby will be sleeping in moses basket, maybe, next to my side of bed initially. Might move a cot into the bedroom when he's a bit bigger. Like the look of the bedside ones but DP says no as we already have a cot! (spoiling my internet spending spree fun)

DD actually co-slept in my bed, I had a lindam bedrail up so she couldn't fall out, and she used to breastfeed without even waking me up. It was a big bed though and I never drank/smoke/did drugs etc! so never any risk of squashing. Interestingly she used to breathe in time with me.. but I rather like the space so this baby will be in his own cot.

No changing table, had chest of drawers before with changing mat on top. Have nothing this time (yet!) as we moved so he'd better not arrive too soon....! Totally unprepared!

hi all - not posted for an age so looks like lots of news to catch up on........
Bethoo - your XDP sounds like a twunt and you are better off out of there but really feel for you about the timing and glad your sister is supportive
londonlottie must be dull, dull, dull to still be in hosp even with a transfer in an exciting helicopter - thank goodness that didn't need to happen when you were in labour
Froachsmum - lovely news and glad you had a great time

I had the SF jab (could only get Pandemrix) a couple of weeks back now after umming, ahhing, speaking to everyone and their dog about it. Can't change what I did now anyhows but am glad I bit the bullet and went for it while it was available. Horrible sore arm for a week and fluey for 24 hours.

I am planning to BF again and would second the BF cushion suggestion - I ended up with a ceaser last time and it made BF so much easier. I am probably wierd but I am really looking forward to BF again.

We have an old fashioned wodden crib thing that the baby will be in for 6 months ish in our room. I can't remember what I did last time about nappy changes but we just had a plastic mat - never bothered with a changing table.

The baby has been lying transverse for weeks now and keeps karate chopping my bladder - which is nice ! I am only 31 weeks so its got plenty of time to move. Other than that I am (rather sickeningly) full of the joys of pregnancy.
Happy weekend y'all

Yangy I've been getting woken up from 'period pains' every night for the last week, but not getting too much during the day, whereas I was getting them during the day up til this point. I guess it'll do as it does. Thanks for the reassurance about knowing that labour will have started. I think I got a bit freaked as I used to know someone who didn't know she was in labour (with dc2) until she crowned on the loo! Had images of me consistantly saying to DH "don't worry it's just period pain!" then having a suprise. How naive am I .

sockmonkey if you don't like spinach there are plenty of other things that are high in iron, also don't forget that you need to take I think it's zinc or vit c with your iron source to aid absortion. Must be getting preggy brain, I used to know this stuff.

mistletoe that nightlight looks great, although I'll have to google to see if I can find find a cheaper one or see if I can adapt something I already have.

Fraoch You look so beautiful, your dress is lovely. Congratulations.

I finally got round to ringing MW about my trip to Hospital, and she thinks breathlessness is more likely a sign I'm slightly anemic than reaction to SF jab. My blood tests came back borderline when I had them about 3 weeks ago. Will have to start eating spinach (ick) I don't want to have to do iron tablets.

I'm planning on BF again (much to DH's dismay - tough)I am a cheapskate, and lazy, so it suits me fine. I think DH not entirely keen cos I ended BF DS2 till he was 2 years. MN turned me into a bit of a lental weaver in that way.

Hope you all have lovely weekends planned.

Congratulations on your wedding.
I can't even string a sentence together lol I mean I am formula feeding this time. .
devotion that bednest looks like a great idea.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You look beautiful in the pics and your dress is lovely.

Hope you had a lovely day
