Can I jump in with some nappy stuff? I am expecting girl number four (I am 21 weeks) and plan to use Bimbles, then Motherease until about 9 months, then Bumbles until potty training. This is what I have done with my others and it has worked for us (same nappies, how money-saving is that?) lol. I tried terries but never got the hang of folding them and getting them really tight so they didnt fall down.

I am taking Spatone too, as I am always anaemic anyway. My midwife doesn't rate it, but iron tablets do my tummy no good. I did try an iron syrup on prescription, it tasted awful but did the job with less of the side effects iykwim.

Ive bought washables too and they seem huge! Not sure how any clothes will fit over them as even the smallest ones we've got look massive. Ive got a few packets of disposables for the first week or two while we get into a routine so maybe they'll be better when we go into 0-3 month clothes not newborn?

Hugs 32B - try not to get yourself upset about it again (easier said than done I know) and look forward to seeing your little bean soon on your scan.

Nikki - they say mum knows best so maybe subconsciously your bodies telling you somethings starting?

Not too sure how to do links to other threads but just been lurking on the parenting thread and saw Tigs got skin to skin contact with Andrew today :T Her last line made me tear up

And then I had skin-on-skin cuddles with him for the first time :j :j :j I was going to ask about it, but wasn't sure if he was stable enough / big enough / ready. Today's SC nurse did her dissertation on kangaroo care, so she suggested it before I even asked. And it was lovely, he fitted just perfectly against me and settled right down for a good hour's snooze, arm outstretched onto my boob. I'm a Mum

32b -*hugs* Cant belive they let her out, what would the police do if you called them like suggested?

Im on Penicillian (spelt wrong?) now *sigh* had to go to docs as a skin tag i had got bigger in the space of a day and really hurt, so i tied some thread around it (i read to do it online lol) and it has got infected now
But good thing is i got my tablets for free i didn't even have my card but they didn't question it.

Got some cute tiny baby socks in the chemist for 99p to
They are blue with little ice creams on the front. I know i dont know the sex but i have a feeling its a boy lol.

Also OH's cousin has just had a baby and has loads of pretty much new baby clothes to give us

Sweet FA lol, i called the police last week when i heard her on the phone hitting my mum trying to get to the phone. All the done was take her to the psychiatric unit (yes the same one)who said she's fine and they returned her home even the cop was not happy about it. He said his only other option was to arrest her and mum refused.

AS much use as a fart in a space suit:rolleyes:
