    I find I have like a trapped nerve feeling at the tops of my legs every so often. Its not constant and varies from leg to leg which is really strange

    I went for raspberry leaf capsules - loads easier hopefully they are just as effective.

    Yes thats like the feeling Karen. I mentioned it to the midwife today and she said its normal. I think I shouldve gone for the Rasp Leaf Capsules too, oops!! I might make a cuppa RLT in a min actually, that will be my first for today :o

    I'm still leaking green snotty stuff..it's been weeks..just how much is up there??!!! I don't think my baby's gonna make halloween though. Oh ds wants to go to bed, brb xx

    Yeh for still leaking green snotty stuff Helen :D Fingers crossed for u something is going to start happening v soon. I am getting terrible for thinking every ache and pain could be the start of things, I am gonna do DH head in!! And Ill be like the boy who cried wolf in that he wont believe me when it does start happening, lol!!
    How scary to be so near the top of the list, cannot wait. 12 days until she is due. Am SO hoping she comes early :-) My other 2 were both on time (unusual I know), but then they were boys lol.

    I'm also taking RLT capsules as the taste is too strong for me to drink loads.

    Yay Charlie ur due the same date as me, I wondered where u had been :) Hope you are well xx

    Well I had my midwife appt this morning, all good, she said I'm 3/5th's engaged which I understand means 2/5th of the head is down into my pelvis, thats right isnt it? I am glad things are at least heading in the right direction!!

    Tonight we have been and bought a highchair second hand off of a friend who was selling theirs, its this one in the pear design. We love it!!

  • Oh wow - i love that highchair, it looks so cool!

    OH didn't believe me either - i woke him up one morn and said i'm in labour, he said no your not, go back to sleep. I knew i was though - something different about all the other twinges beforehand. Hard to explain, but you actually know it's the real thing once it starts. I know that's little consolation as you don't really know what it is your looking out for beforehand.

    I never had any of this stringy green stuff...i just had a yucky mucus plug that came away all in one go at the cinema the night before i went into labour. It's weird, no matter what people tell you to expect, you are still surprised at every little thing that happens - or is that just me?

    Exchanged! I know I said it was likely yesterday but it really actually did happen!:j We have to be out the flat by 2pm next Friday and then can collect keys for new house! Small detail of getting £17k from our bank to solicitors in between time...

    jenny - thanks for the nappies tip. Have got my bumgenius resuable ones but as they are from 7lbs, have got some disposables in for the first few days / weeks til he is big enough. Have got these - anyone else used them? Yes, know they are pricey but actually not much more than pampers / huggies and I've used loads of my boots points to get them http://www.boots.com/en/Nature-babycare-nappies-Size-1-Carry-Pack_17414/

    Oh i forgot to mention, in wilkinson they do reusable nappys, i forgot what ones though but i know wilko are famed for there low prices lol :D

  • Congrats always!

    The reviews look good - i was interested in the Mothercare ones just like these. Was thinking of using the eco-friendly disposable ones for a while and then get a few re-usable ones too and use those disposable liners. With DD i did just use huggies but this time, no1 i want to save money if poss, but do a bit of good as well if i can.

    I am thinking of getting some reusables for my DD too as she is still night-time training, most nights dry but some wet - disposables are a nightmare because it feels such a waste of money chucking completely dry nappies away alot of the time (obviously have to because of hygiene of course). Anyway - i think i'll have to pop over to the parent board for some advice on that i suppose ;)

    That's how I'm getting my baby too!

    Well my OH has a cold, which is lovely as he will no doubt pass it on to me. It also means no baby shifting action in the bedroom till he's better...men!
