    Congrats Sparkle!

    Sami - Can I assume the SIDS info ref baby's cot/bed being near the radiator is heat related? Our moses basket will be right next to the radiator in our room, however, the radiator is turned off. So not an issue, I presume?

    Quick question for you ladies - Cot bumpers: Are they ok to use or are they as "dangerous" as some people say they are?


    I've never seen the need for them - an unnecessary extra to buy, imo. Danger is due to baby getting head caught in them, as they aren't solid sides to the cot - leading to overheating/ suffocation, if I remember correctly. ETA : OOh Sami has posted proper up to date info on that - so ignore last bit!!

    They look pretty, but I don't think they serve any real purpose:confused:

    just my op, of course:p

    I can recomend the Mirena IUS for after this one tho :D

    I had Mirena - bled initially for 5 weeks when inserted! Had some minimal bleeding on/ off for a while after that and then no periods - which was the good point. Bad points for me were horrendous PMT (without any periods!) almost constantly and absolutely no desire for any jiggy at all - rendering the fact it was contraception somewhat pointless!! Took a while for my cycle to get back to normal after removal too


    However, several of my friends love it and are on 2nd ones!

    Molly - I've got mixed feelings on the cot bumpers, although you can get mesh ones now that allow for air to flow through, but not for little arms and legs. We've never used a cot bumper, but that was personal preference.

    congrats Sparkle cant wait to see the pics.:T

    Congrats on team blue Hypno :T

    My scan went really well today :j. The seperation of my placenta has not progressed at all in the last week, which they said was amazing considering the stress and movements between running from my ward to DD's ward in the Childrens hospital.

    Also my baby is weighing in at 2.5lb which is almost 2 weeks ahead of what she should be measuring. Needless to say Dr. was really shocked as they hadn't expected any weight gain this week. She measured 1lb 10oz 10 days ago..

    I can only assume all the choccies and treats my family have been bringing me in is really fattening her up. :j

    Managed to see my friend Nadine, who is now out of recovery. Her little girl is doing really well considering how early she was born.
