What's it about?

Back in July 06 Bailey started this thread to help all pregnant MoneySavers and their partners save on anything pregnancy-related plus give each other moral support. It's been hugely popular and now has a long list of pregnant mothers-to-be. Now it's not just for those that are pregnant but also those trying to conceive and MoneySavers that have probably already given birth and yet are probably too tired to let everyone know.

What should you do?

As well as being a great source of tips, baby-related bargains spotted, mutual support and help MoneySavers here have also gradually built up a list, adding themselves to one of these categories (the last one, people are moved to for obvious reasons!):

EDD (Estimated due date if you're pregnant)
TTC (trying to conceive if you're not) we now have 2 seperate threads for people TTC - 'Trying for a Baby' and 'Trying for a baby (12+ M/not straightforward)'
Birth List
Probably given birth but too worn out to log on list

If you want to add yourself to the list follow these steps:

Click on the link at the top of this page that says "Last" (it'll take you to the last page of the discussion)
Scroll down until you find the message with the very latest copy of the list in (if you use one further up the discussion other peoples' changes after that will be lost)
Copy that (highlight it and click control+c)
Click reply at the bottom of the thread to open a screen where you can past it (click control+p)
Add yourself to the list then click save
And don't feel shy. Introduce yourself, say hello and ask a question if you need to.

Plus, if you're thinking of how to cut down on nappy costs remember to have a read of the Nappy MoneySaving article too and for later down the line if you need childcare first read the Childcare Vouchers article.

yay I'm on the first page!!!!

Morning bump bandits... today is the first day that the bump is definitely out and proud. before you could tell when I was lying down but being quite tall when I was standing up it kind of got lost in the rest of me! But I think it may just have 'popped'!

Hope everyone's well this morning.

Icklebeans · 30 April 2009 at 8:10AM

Morning all, (copied and pasted this from old thread!)

After my hospital yesterday, I am wide awake at the minute.

Braxton Hicks during the night and what I think might be the beginnings of my bloody show - mucusy with slight blood tinge to it.

Hubby gone off to work couple of hours earlier to claw back some of the time he had to drop everything yest and hopfeully not then have to take half a days hol which means more time to spend with me and the babes when they arrive.

Feeling strangely calm at the minute.

code-a-holic · 30 April 2009 at 8:13AM

Induction cancelled again today. 2nd day in a row. Midwife on the phone said other inductions booked were more important. Must not cry, must not cry!

jillie1974 · 30 April 2009 at 8:15AM

aww thats awful code-a-holic.
have they said why theya re so busy ??

morning everyone!!
nice new spanking thread!!
thanks mrstine!!

Krystaltips · 30 April 2009 at 8:18AM

Code, you still have a while to go before your due date so you could still go naturally... Just try and sit around a lot to rest your back...

MrsTinks · 30 April 2009 at 8:19AM

Yay for Ickle and a huge Boo Hiss for CAH

I can't believe they have cancelled your induction again! :eek: I would SO not be amused! I guess for today all you can do is get started on the pineapple and hot corries and nookie with hubby?

Icklebeans · 30 April 2009 at 8:26AM

Mrs T - "hot corries"!:rotfl:

code-a-holic · 30 April 2009 at 8:30AM

I cant believe they cancelled me twice either! Baby boom in Pembrokeshire and full capacity to blame. My first baby came naturally at 37 weeks and my last 2 were induced at 37 weeks. So im not officially the most pregnant iv ever been. I've been feel like labour has been starting slowly so would love to go naturally today just to go 'HAH MATERNITY WARD'! I fractured my pelvis with my 2nd which is why they book me in for induction to avoid too much weight making the old fracture snap. I faint around 4 times a week when im not pregnant due to my injury but over the last few days im about 4 times a day so im feeling really battered and bruised not to mention being a risk to my kids and unborn baby. Moan, moan, moan!

Phoned my own midwife for a whinge, she's giving me a sweep in a hour...... if i go naturally im having a home birth, my dream. Oh i hope!
