Is anyone choosing NOT to BF? I tried with my other four, without success and im just wondering if it would be worth the pressure of doing it again?...I dont want to have PND and i honestly think I would suffer with it if I tried a 5th time and failed.....again

I have choosen not to go down the BF road , as i tried with all 3 of mine years ago and just couldnt get on with it , and found it distressing , so this time i have decided straight away its bottle for this little man,

Morning all,


Oooh totally not preg related but wondering if anyone knows, if you pay your water bill direct debit to Yorkshire Water, how many months of the year do you pay? It's not been taken for this month and it's a few days late, but the first time I noticed was this year in Jan, they didn't take Jan, Feb, March, so not sure if it's just wrong, or if they actually only take 8 months? Hope that makes sense!!

My water board ., Anglia water , only take 10 months and you dont pay 1st feb and 1st mar , they start all again at 1st april ,
this goes for council tax too , 1st feb and 1st mar you dont pay

HTH.,

SJ : did your hipg go through today ? mine still not there , have tried calling but number states we are busy thank you for your call please call later , after wasting 2 mins of my life going through all the numbers !!!

ETA: just got through to hipg now they are saying it is taking 8 WEEKS to process ,

so dont leave it till late to claim, it will be well after christmas now, he even said to me i wasnt even on the system yet , which i sent my form in 4 weeks ago :eek::eek::eek::eek:

Hi Ladies and gents

Well i have had a mildly productive weekend! I am seriously struggling with the nausea and tiredness!

Well i did spend a couple of hours standing in Morrisons collecting for Cancer Research, and we collected over £156! so that was good

We also tidied downstairs so at some point we can put some decorations up

Well i also got my first midwife appointment, this thursday, so we told our families so we could ask about family medical history.

Anyway i am going to try and get on with some work, but am feeling soo soo sick today it is very hard! Oh well, all in a good cause (at least that is what i keep telling myself )

Labour vibes always

LL, that's a great tally for charity! :T

Really struggling with names...I just came up with 5 different combos of first/middle for boys and 12 for girls!! :rolleyes: Of course, DH will prolly veto some but still. We pretty much agree on the boy's name (well there's 2 contenders at the mo) but not on the girl's...argh!

it is so quiet in here ,
i been to morrisons and bought the king prawns and fogg crisps which were on offer BOG2F,

also dove and lynx gift sets on offer £6.50- £7.00 , down to £3.00 each so bought some for friends ,

So half of the nursery furniture was sold out when I just went to order it, but got this instead from argos which I really like however it doesn't include the cotbed mattress - anyone have a recommendation for a good mattress??

I'm thinking about this one but don't really know much about mattresses

Hi everyone,
Had my scan this morning and I'm on.............(drum roll, please)
Team Blue!!!
Anyway, we're really pleased as now we have one of each.
Baby wouldn't turn round though, so I'm going to have to go back for another scan just to be on the safe side. I was also told I may have to go for another scan at 32 weeks as baby seems to be 'low lying' - I could have told them that before - it feels like it's trying to escape all the time....

DH and I made the decision not to this time, as I found it really traumatic last time, and I can't bear to go through it again - it really spoiled my first couple of months with the baby. Mind you, I haven't yet told the midwife (haven't actually seen her for long enough:rolleyes:) and I'm not intending to tell MiL as I can just imagine her reaction to that!

Helloooo

Had a lay in until 11:30 this morning, i woke up to find OH staring at me lol! He had been awake since 10am, but he knew that if he got out of bed i would of woke up so he stayed in bed so i would stay asleep :o

Nikkit - :eek: Damn! I was going to post mine in vain hope of getting the money before xmas!

Fishcake (and anyone else who knits) i found this http://www.babyexpert.com/Your-life/Knit-a-bauble%21/v1

Click on the little circle at the bottom of the paragraph, and it will take you to the patterns. Its a PDF file by the way

We have a shop here called "Mr Cheap" (does anyone else have them or is it just a portsmouth thing?) Well anyway, i always said i want to open a "Mrs Cheaper" to rival them.
Well somebody has already done it! :eek::D:rotfl:
Im going to have a look today cause im curious

Then pop into 99p world for some more baby coat hangers :money:

I keep feeling the baby more now, and my email today says that im running out of space for the baby so thats why im always feeling her move lol.
Last night i had my arm rested across bump and i felt something run along the inside of my arm, like maybe a little elbow or knee. It made me shudder though lol

ETA: Congrats on team blue redstar!

I'm going straight to bottle for this baby. I BF for about 6 weeks with DD1 but felt absolutely awful and was sure I had PND, so switched to bottle and felt so much better about everything. For DD2 I BF whilst in hospital (for about a day) as they didn't really seem to be set up for the bottle, but as soon as I got out I switched to bottle. For DS1, I had him in France (that's where I live now) and they actually prefer you to bottle feed and actually provide all milk and sterilised bottles for you. It was so much better for me and I have enjoyed having a baby so much more. Therefore this time I will also bottle feed just because I feel it is the right decision for me.
