Well done, Kitty for new thread - can't believe we're on #4!
Went for a mammoth shop today - Ikea odds and ends, including washcloths, Mothercare for sleepsuits and hats, bath, changing mat, steriliser and bottle set 'cos it was half price, and sheets which (I hope) will fit my co-sleeper cot. Oh, and breast pads, a front-buttoning nightshirt and nursing bras. Don't think I can bring myself to do any more in person - will need to be online from now on!
Sorry to hear about those berries having a rough time - merk, tally, boom and anyone else having a rough time - have some

I know nothing about babys! nothing!

Puppy I had the vest uncertainty too. Evidently they need a vest under a baby grow, but a lot of the confusion comes from the fact that everybody calls them different things; onsies, vests, babygrow, sleepsuit etc etc
I woke in a panic the other night worrying about whether the frilly bits around the edge of a nappy should be tucked into the nappy or not!
Thunder, glad to hear you can get to the biscuit tin! I am eating like a horse, (craving sugar), DH is getting scared on my behalf about how big she is going to be and whether she will "fit out of my bits" as he put it

Angel feel free to moan in here it'll make a change from me doing it
Just repeated my usual error, forgot to do a wee sample with FMU when I have the first midwife appointment of the day. Going to spend the next half hour drinking water in the hope of being able to pee again but the chances are small. And I can never pee under pressure once I'm there especially as holding a sample pot down a dirty hospital toilet is not my idea of fun Grr, have not have my wee checked for nearly 5 weeks so it is extra important, especially with the swollen hands. Must stop booking early midwife appointments!
On a plus note, I am seeing an antenatal chiropractor later today and am quite excited that he may be able to help with the pain in my hips/pelvis. Am also secretly hoping he has a table with a hole so I can lie on my front for a little bit
Thunder, can you stay in bed today?

merk the toilets at your hospital are dirty? How horrible 
I have my appointments at my community hospital and it's absolutely spotless there although I still don't like the pee pressure. My lot don't want fmu, they want wee after a shower/bath to make sure the sample is clean.
I can't stay in bed today, no- had a day off yesterday and really must get my sorry self back to work. Yawn.
Good luck with the chiro- sounds ace! We want a full report on your return

Hey Berries, haven't said much in a while but I'm still here keeping up to date with the posts 
merk I know what you mean about the stress pee - I didn't bring a sample to my last appointment and ended up having to do it at the Drs - first time I have ever been unable to pee due to pressure! I did it in the end by consciously relaxing, but then handed the midwife a damp-labelled bottle (Had to rinse it as had peed on it - my direction is unpredictable!). She said she didn't mind…
28 week appointment next week, must also book my whooping cough vaccine…
and… CLENCH!
