I had my second last july He was a week late and I knew he was a lot bigger then the last one (who was 10lb 1oz) after 4 sweeps I had a paddy in the hospital and refused to leave until they gave me an induction date ! they induced me that day luckily for me cause he was 12lb 10 1/2 !!!

Leebruss premier twin (I can't link straight to pram so u will need to look for it) this pram is HUGE tho but is the only "proper pram" that is twin as far as I know.
there are other ones that have carrycots and then a seat unit but they don't have the suspension bouncy bits


Have you joined TAMBA? Ickle said they gave good advice about which pram to buy

Aaaah You're an :A - that's the one I found before it went missing off another website - couldn't find it again!! Just what I want, am hoping to find one in a shop to take a proper look!! I haven't joined TAMBA yet, still thinking about it

close the curtains. there are few funnier sights that a heavily pregnant woman hoola hooping. & you will need to reset your balance on the board post baby (although now the boobs have taken over from the baby bump, I'm still unbalanced!)

Oh PLEASE leave the curtains open!! I need a dose of belly laughs even tho its been 18 years since mine was pulled out of my belly by the surgeon.

Actually I was 4 weeks early so missed out on the fun of sex and wii fit to get him out. Think yerselves lucky!!!!

In all mine, and my Mums, dreams about this baby, he has been laughing in all of them! I'm hoping he'll be as smiley and happy in real life.

I'm getting worried about blood pressure now. Can they usually control it? Am I likely to have to have him early?

I can't seem to find much info about high blood pressure, only pre-eclampsia, but I don't have anything in my urine.

Feely, search for 'Pregnancy induced hypertension' there is loads of info on it. They will probably medicate if it stays above 140+/100, unfortunatly you may be admitted also. Pre ecclmapsia can start with just high BP (sorry, had it twice I'm an expert) which is why they keep a close eye on you. But it is very managable (I was told on Monday that I shoudln't worry about it they can control it). You will only be induced/sectioned early if you either suddenly get high levels in your blood or 3+ protein in your urine combined with swelling or headaches. If you are, you will be given steroids to help baby's lungs develop. They make you hot and red like a lobster for a few hours but the difference to baby is huge. Your baby may spend some time in SCBU, but this is not anywhere near as scary as you think.

Relax, put your feet up and tell everyone you need wrapped up in cottom wool.

Thanks for that. BP is a bit odd in that it goes up to 165/85, which seems very high for one, but normal for the other. I've got awful headaches and blurry vision. I don't want to take pain killers though, want to be able to tell if it gets worse.

I feel awful this evening. Silly me tried to do some tidying, and now I feel ready to collapse.

Thank-you for the reassurance. At the moment I just feel awful for being such a lousy incubator. Had to have medication for the severe morning sickness, SPD and now this

Asda just came, Got the steriliser but they substituted the breastpump with the Asda own brand.... Bah... I sent it back... Taking Aimee swimming tomorrow so I'll pop in the Asda then and see if they've got it... And if I'm lucky I might get a game of bingo with my Mum and Aunt lol...
