Natasha is 14 months old now and although she has been walking about 8 weeks and is quite a confident walker (and runner) she is still in her cotbed. Anyway we have just bought a caravan and im trying to figure out how to 'contain' her in bed. A travel cot wouldnt fit and would probably be too small for her anyway......any idea's???

What about this sort of thing for a normal bed?

Hi guys I have no one to talk to about this so please don't judge me or anything I just need to get it out.

There is a possibility I might be pregnant and its all I can think about right now. Long and short include problems with pill, sickness and diahorrea, coming off anti depresressants and then taking morning after pill which gave me more D&V so not sure if absorbed properly. Not entirely sure when my period is due but i think its about 10 days away or so. I've been getting a few stomach aches which remind me of Jack and Molly's early pregnancies. Trying to convince myself i'm imaging things and its just nothing.

DH would go mad mad mad, he didn't react well to Molly's news, even though he was fantastic when she was born. But the thing that concerns me is money, space and my severe PND which I am still getting over. DH has always maintained absolutely no more than 2 and he would rather have me and 2 kids than 3 and me dead (which nearly happened wiht Moly if you remember!).

Sorry for the drama, but i've over a week or so to wait and my head will not shut up. Starting taking folic acid just to be on the safe side, but then on the other side enjoying a drink with DH so I can pretend its not an issue.

Severly mucked up???? Absolutely!!

bailey, have a hug and breathe ...

Go and see your GP if you are worried, they may be able to advise whether there are hyper sensitive testing kits which you could use now.

Then discuss your options: whatever happened last time, is it definitely going to happen again?

As for telling your husband, I can't advise you. I held off telling DH about our 'happy surprise' for quite a while, not sure how he was going to react, actually he knew almost as soon as I did that I was pregnant and was just waiting for me to tell him. Maybe your DH knows something is wrong too, and will be more supportive than you expect?

Thanks Sami & Js. The caravan we bought has bunk beds down the side but i plan on removing the top bunk and making the bottom bed into a permanant bed for Natasha.

Just out of interest how old were your babies before having their bars removed?.... im half expecting it to happen soon and have been locking both safety gates (3 storey house) and closing the bathroom door every night just incase!

Have never seen anything like those Sleep Tight sheets, im not sure she would like it but worth considering, thanks!

We took the bars off last week at 2yrs 2months, I left them on until I had to take them off coz Chris had started to climb out, It was my intention to leave them on as long as poss because Chris's room is a bit of a storage room at the mo so I wanted to get our spare room sorted and all the 'stuff' out of his room before I took the sides off, nearly there - 8weeks til baby #2 due and spare room still full of OH's tools and DIY stuff, and no carpet and walls that need to be skimmed with plaster :eek:

Not judging Bay, but i think you should seriously reconsider your contraception!
have you tried a coil? they do them without hormones if your on antidepressants (so they dont mess with them) and they are a lot more reliable than the pill which as you say may not have been absorbed properly with all the other things going on right now.

go see your doctor, talk to them about this possible pregnancy, how it makes you feel and your options
and when you find out your not really pregnant again and it was a false alarm, think of it as a warning to get a more reliable contraception or face a third baby in 3 years as a real possibility,

i dont mean that to sound as harsh as it probably does, i just cant think of another way of wording it! hopefully you understand where im coming from xxx

Bailey - I don't know your story, but just wanted to wish you well and hope you get the result that you want:)

ella - both my ds's where in beds at between 18-20mths...I never bothered with bed guards, I just put a spare quilt on the floor next to the bed in case they rolled out:) I don't know what to suggest with regards to the caravan i'm afraid, although those sheets linked to above look interesting!!!

MFD - How did it go at the docs?
