    Tia- its weird actually, if i do get 07/08/09 then we'll still give birth a day after one another just like our original due dates!

    Fingers crossed i get the 7th girls, i want to meet my baby!!!!

    Positive vibes you get this date - It's the date I wanted but I didn't get anywhere near :p
  • EA - you're only supposed to check for HB about once a week (that's what it said in the user guide we got) so once you're feeling daily squirming you'll probably not feel the need for the doppler. For me, it's real value was in the earlier days when I didn't feel PG so it was nice to make contact!

    Glam - I know the visions that are going through my head. shape of an M? lol Why an m ?

    OH's name begins with an M and mine with a V ;)

    Nanc - I was going to try and have a water birth in the birthing pool at the hospital but that's gone out the window now :rolleyes:
    My MW said you have to put your foot down about it thou because a lot of MW's don't like water births because they aren't as hands on as normal so they try and fob you off.

    If anyone wants more info on home water births - see if you can find Weezl's posts leading up to her birth - she posted pics and everything! She's on holiday at the mo but I'll see if I can find it.

    SS - your doc sounds so funny!!

    jha - I'm sorry your not feeling great, I always see you thanking people but you don't post. If u ever want to chat feel free to PM me :)

    I have the WORST lower back pain ever - have even taken 2 paracetamol which means it must be bad!

    oh yea that reminds me - the summer one is crap. I can't hear the HB even now unless I listen really reallyt hard. I get the odd bump when he kicks but i can feel that so don't need to hear it!

    He was just scrabbling around in there and my stomach was freaking out!!

    jha, (((hugs))) hope you feel better soon.

    EA, early pregnancy is crappy, but the fact you feel so crappy is a good sign. Last time you didn't, sorry that's all I can think about, this time is so different for you it must be a good sign. I had an angelcare doppler (£21 ebay) and picked up the heart beat from about 10 weeks using durex play gel (the gel is important). 12-16 weeks you can usually find it. But don't get freaked out if you can't find it. Anyway, I sold it at about 16-18 weeks as I was then feeling regular movement.

    Hypnonu, how about a wee email to those papers all about the problems your having now?

    I am really really sore, took co-codomol but they are only really taking the edge off. Want my husband home now! Want bath! Want husband and biscuits and bath! :(

    And DS2 is being a PITA.

    Well having spoken to 3 different people of different seniorities today i am apparently being called back someone more senior again on Monday, so we'll see what they say, if i get nothing then there will definitely be an e-mail going out to the papers and the BBC.

    I'll keep you all posted!

    Hello ladies.
    I'm only 14 weeks pregnant at the moment so still very early days and like many others on here just trying to determine which are the essentials and which are the "not really that necessary but nice to have" items for the little one.
    Also trying to plan ahead and snap up the odd bargain when I see it rather than having to shell out for everything at the last minute.

    While browsing through Tesco's yesterday I noticed they had the Tommee Tippee Nappy Wrapper Tub reduced from £29.99 to £9.98 (or something similar, was less than a tenner in any case). The additional cassettes were in there at around £3.99 which I don't think were reduced.
    Just wondering:
    a) Are these actually any good or are they a bit of a gimmick?
    b) Are these normally available at around this price in any case so not really a bargain
    c) Having looked on the internet there seems to be many different options with these, so if anyone has any experience is there anything I need to check - e.g for £30 should it come as part of a kit with a number of cassettes already with it to get you started?

    Thanks everyone.

    This might already have been mentioned, but I am updates as I catch up - but I keep getting distracted so taking a while :p

    There is a voucher to get the angelcare system for £4.99 from Argos, in one of the bounty packs you get after birth.
