MSE Pregnancy Club 17

Somnium

Gym - lots of places sell Humphreys stuff (like Boots and Izziwotnot) , but the things in Mothercare are exclusive to Mothercare. As for Duvets and Pillows just remember bubs shouldn't be using them till 12 months+.

Always - Sorry you feel rubbish, and eek and the carp fitting service with the bras. I'd be the same.

ab - sorry you have to go on sick leave, but at least you get paid for it and it deosnt come out of your mat leave. I have mild spd at the mo and really hoping it doesnt get worse but it is slowly.

EA - am so shocked how fasy my PG is going, not that its a bad thing as we seem well organised, but expected it to drag more. Was just commenting to OH this am that only have 98 days to go, so exciting.

Kindof - I love my bump bands, what material is yours made from? AS for bra's especially Mothercare ones, becareful of design as they dont all come up the same size I'm wearing 40E and 40DD (started as a 36DD) and two diff designs but fit the same, but then if you get a good fitter they will know this.

Jenny - nice of you to pop by, sorry to here Cockermouth is in such bad shape, been feeling really sorry for all the folks there. Hope your family are safe xx

Aless - Mothercare staff do recieve bra fiiting training, if thats there department (its not mine so I havent) however experiance goes a long way IMO, and there are only a few ladies at work I would choose to fit me and so far have been tres happy with them.

Muso - yeay for MS lifting

Nickynoo - congrats on team blue and yeay for another boy, thought our lil girls were gonna over run the place!

CAFC - no worries hun you off load when ever and join us now or when ever you feel ready, either way your always welcome. Oh and fab at seeing LO's HB, thats always so nice xx

Lou - yeay for CS dates at least you can plan ahead now.

Nikkit - your very naughty keep pointing out all these sales!

snugglepants - congrats and welcome xx

jha - huge get better vibes for lil lilly, thats so sad I hate when animals get ill xx

AB - lovely names

Cant help with the early scans as both of the ones I had were on the NHS (6 and 8 weeks) due to having (ICSI/IVF). Baby seems to have been quiet today, but then have had a busy day so maybe I just didnt notice. When should you start counting movements from, am now 26 weeks? Well now am all cought up after a hectic day and its time for bed, hope I sleep better tonight, all this tossing about is getting really annoying!

I had my booking in appt today, so had to have my bloods done. Last time I had a student who massacred my arm, so it was lovely to have the midwife do it today and it didn't hurt at all!! Got all the usual bumph, most of it got a cursory glance and went straight into the recycling bin.

My midwife seems really nice, and she is the only one at my surgery so hopefully will only see her, but you never know really do you.

I have got my scan on the 7th so super excited about that !

Vibes of all kinds to those that need them!

yeah well like most symptoms we love them for a day...... like oh how morning sickness made you feel really pregnant and then after 6 weeks of it and not being able to remember the last full meal you ate, you soon get over the "joy"......

LOL I know!

I love the flutters, and I love the belter kicks he was quiet yesterday, no proper kicks as such, well there was a couple of kicks yesterday, he was fluttering away though

Aless I would have gone to bed at 7 lol I was wrecked the other night and went to bed at 8

Welcome snugglepants (dont know if you remember me from the ttc thread)

Awwww JHA what happened? poor kitty, get well vibes for lilly xxx

Lovely names AB William was going to be baby Elliots middle name but I am not so sure now (I like the name still BUT its my fathers name and I Havent seen him since I was 2, but its also OH's middle name and his fathers name, so thats why we wanted it?) I would like Michael as babybeans middle name (its my brothers name) but OH isnt so sure.

Som - I am not sure what material it is lol, its the one someone posted a link too and they were half price on ebay? well I ordered some wired ones from catalgoue and they went nowhere near my back, so am I right in thinking I need a bigger back size?

But then I am thinking I need non wired cos they are diggin in me by the time I get home, but then I dont know if its cos they are too small?

I dont fancy going into the shops cos they are getting soooo busy lol

YAY for scan date fernlibee

I was sick this morning when I was brushing me teeth it wasnt nice

snugglepants

Thanks kindofagilr.....yes I do remember you!! Can't believe you're so far gone already :eek: Btw....did anyone ever hear from kencokenco after she disappeared?!!

kindofagilr

No I havent and I am real worried about her, the last I heard/saw was she had a scan with her consultant and she was having twins but she hasnt been back on since

I know snuggle, its gone VERY fast!!!!

Morning,

Yay for scan date Fernlie

JHA hope kittie is doing better this morning? Lots of get well vibes for her, xx In answer to your savings Q, we're planning to save whatever benefit we get for him, so child benefit and any tax credit we might be able to claim, and just putting it in the highest earning account we can find each year, be it a bond or whatever. Wouldn't worry too much if you're not putting a lump sum in in the first place, as nothing will earn loads iykwim? When it grows to a good chunk then it'd be worth moving it around. Our plan is just to put it in our offset mortgage account til it's a good amount, then move it, also not planning to put in his name, it will remain our money til we think he needs it? I get the impression that the trust funds are a bit pants in that whatever you put in, it can't be withdrawn til baby is 18 and you can't access it? I might have it wrong though!

I was planning to dye my hair (darker - it's already dark brown but is getting lighter with pregnancy?!), this is ok right as it's not being bleached lighter?

Beenie I think you must be wonderwoman moving furniture and decorating this far on!

Lovely names Mr AB Impressed you managed to agree so quickly, OH & I have agreed recently but it wouldn't suprise me if it changed again!

yuck Kindof to the puking

I'm off to buy some drawers today for babys room, driving myself mad looking at them I just bl&&dy want some! So driving up to Ikea where there's a few other furniture shops and hoping I'll find something in one of them. Had a lovely night last night, went out with a friend to the German market in town & ate lots of food but then came home to OH going on about his family, I seriously cannot cope with them all they're a bl&ody nightmare. If it's not one thing it's another, I really don't like them, arrrrrgh. Must admit I'm still a bit peeved this morning, but nevermind will soon get over it

gymfiend

p.s. Kindof would you consider using 2 middle names? Our son will have 2, one after my dad & one after my mum (honestly isn't as strange as it sounds, she has a weird name)

kindofagilr

I hadnt really thought of that, how would Elliot Michael William Bell sound? do you think thats ok?

I hope you get your drawers I love Ikea
