i know some of you may live a bit closer than i do but is there any decent baby shops in cheshire oaks, ones that may sell prams, pushchairs etc..??
have seen a really nice Hauck pram/pushchair combo online but one to try it out first.

There's a Mamas and Papas store and that's it!

If I were you I'd go to your nearest Mothercare, Toys R Us, or a small independant store as these are places where you'll get the most choice for testing.

I believe in the RLTea for making the labour quicker - after my 2hr 40min start to finish labour. Birth story is on here, way back - but pain only got really painful at about 3am, got to hospital at 3.30am and was 9cm. Baby arrived at 4.02am!

But, i wonder, was it the RLTea, or was it because it was my third?

Also, i'm a normal tea addict - but can't stand fruity teas. But with a little sugar in, the RLTea was quite nice.

And yes, midwife recommended taking RLT after the birth, to get everything back to normal quicker.

I took the tablets the first time round but ran out about a week before she was born and didn't have any spare cash to get more... So can't really say if it made a difference lol... Although I read somewhere that the tablets could work out more effective than the tea depending on hold long women leave the tea to steep for...

I have had a reeeeeeeeeally painfull braxton hicks this morning! Made me stop for a min...

there is a store right near where i am, will have to venture in and see if they do the Hauck range. if not a friend has recommended Britax and they bought that from the same store.
Thansk guys!!

Hi Shell, am I right in thinking u saw Lionel the other night? was it good?

Anyone had anything from HiPG to say something like we'll send ur money in april?? I'm wondering if I should call to check they have my form

*skips off to order her RLT capsules too*

I'll be guinea pig number 2 could be intersting... If my labour turns out to be short and sweet then it'll have helped - at least if you go by my mums historyof labours which is all I have to compare with really...

I've not heard anything from the HiPG people... I was hoping the money would just magically appear... Although if it's my bank account it will just disapear with all the bills... I honestly don't know what happens to my money!

MrsTinks

Order placed nothing ventured nothing gained I guess

Pah I'm yet to get a HiPG form - my midwife still hasn't had any so I'm no nearer to getting one grrrr - must remember to chase again when I see her next week. Don't see why getting the forms out to midwives is such a huge problem - I really don't!
