Congrats Sparkle...

Not caught up yet but can i ask those of you that applied for the Sure Start Maternity Grant do you have to send off any forms with it. Eg your tax credit award?

It says on the form to make sure all forms required are enclosed and they are originals but doesnt say what is required!!

I had a MW appt this afternoon and she was about to send me up to the hopsital...Im 29 weeks and measuring 34. She said im all baby and my stomach is solid, which it is. Ive only put on 8lb but as i have another growth scan in 3 weeks she left it.

Off to catch up now x

Hiya all.
I'm so sorry for all those who have had MC's, seems like alot in the last day or so
We are all doing well, Ryan went 6 hours last night.
So only had to get up at 2.30am.
I got a letter today saying my HIPG will be in the bank within 7 days, did anyone else get a letter?
Was supposed to be signed off from MW care yesterday but she phoned to tell me they were short staffed and could I come to the clinic on Friday, I dont mind and we are all fine, but I did think it a bit offf, I mean what if i was struggling? I know i could of said something, but some people dont like to say..

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

just my op, of course:p

I can recomend the Mirena IUS for after this one tho

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!

ETA: Congrats to sparkle - looking fwd to piccies! (and BS?)

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.
