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!): 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. Speech-Mark-Right.gif

    it just took me forever to catch up on 2 days of posts, started typing a reply on here and my internet crashed :mad: so sorry if i forget people :o

    Candice - Congratulations on your baby boy!

    Sami - Happy due date :j

    Elle - I'm so glad Rhys is doing so well, i hope your OH sorts something out with work and that the visitors start to die down a bit.

    Stargirl - Good luck, bring on the pain!!!!

    My news, I ended up at the doctor's on monday morning with severe AF type cramps which were really intense and felt like my insides were burning :eek: and typically they had stopped by the time I got there. The dr said she wasnt concered and then decided she didn't think there was a need to refer me to the recurrent miscarriage unit, or for me to have any kind of tests. :eek::mad: so it looks like i'll be back at the doctors at some point soon :rolleyes:

    Hope everyone is ok :D The hot weather must be so horrid for you all, I was heavily pg over summer '06 and no amount of fans helped :rolleyes: So I hope its cloudy where everyone else is too :D
