Tine, at least you got reffered to physio... I told a midwife I was in agony walking and she just smiled and nodded... Nothing else has been done!

With regards to mattresses, Aimee had the bog standard one that came with her cotbed and it is still fine... Even at nearly 5 she didn't weigh enough to dent it...

Sorry to hear about your friend Helen...

Helen - yes it's probably mild shock Don't worry it's normal hun. Anyone dying whether expected or not will usually spark some shock and beign pregnant we do react a little stronger than we might normally
Having gone through 4 bereavements this pregnancy I would recommend that you take some time to just sit and think - cry if you need to - sometimes loosing people who aren't even close will trigger emotions relating to previous losses or even fears of loosing people or in some cases dying yourself.
Have a nice bath and some chocolate, go out for a meal with your OH and have some you time. Loosing my aunt triggered a lot of crying even though we weren't that close because I realised that something could happen to me and I might not get to see my children grow up - and my way of dealing with it was to make sure that Roo and DH will be ok if something happens to me...
Everyone reacts differently to people passing away and it's never easy so don't feel bad about getting emotional or upset about it.

Thanks girls, your right Tine about a death of someone not family bringing out feelings and memories of losing a loved one. It's made me think of my mum (will be 6 months since losing her at end of the month)
She has 3 lads,one is my age, and I just know the way they are feeling right now. So sad.
Im a mixed bag of emotions I guess today as although I am sad at losing a friend, Im looking forward to my 12week scan tommorow. Im due back at work next week when the kids go back to school and was planning on taking my scan pic in and telling everyone my news. Don't feel I can now, it wouldn't be right would it.

helen im sure they'll be happy for you and that'll be something to give a little smile x

I might wait a week or two before telling everyone - a couple of days after the funeral... I told a very good friend at her dads funeral because I knew she'd be happy that there was some good news... And it gave people something else to focus on but I only told them because I knew they'd like the fact there was something positive...
Most people would probably have been upset if they'd known I'd told her that day.
Once the funeral is out of the way then leave it a couple of days for normal life to resume and tell everyone They'll probably love having something positive to focus on

The mattress we had that sunk was the expensive one from mothercare (8 years ago), with the coolmax and springs and removable cover, so maybe it is false economy. :rolleyes:

We will be going for a cot bed and a middle of the road mattress. It will be going in the kids room and hopefully baby will stay in the crib till near enough 6 months in our room. We haven't got space for anything else.

Do Ikea still do the room planner? The kids room is going to need some serious jiggery to fit 3 of them in there. Off to look and make plans and start a savings fund for it.
