    Saz congratulations xxx I've just warned my hubby if he takes a pic of me 2 mins after the birth I shall slap him once I can get up, I will not look that good. Baby is gorgeous.

    KT congrats and welcome x


    Kitkat different people need different stuff so don't worry. I've never taken a pillow before but I will be taking one for myself and the baby feeding one too. Pillows are scarce in the hospital for some reason and it deff helps with breastfeeding with the scar tissue. I'll not take make up, I'm not getting dressed up for anyone. I do need to get quite a few bits but I have loads of time yet. Also last time I was in they moved me down to the delivery suite at around 7am before OH was there so I had to take all my stuff myself so I wanna pack reasonably light. I hope they don't make me stay in the night before again, but I do want another morning c-section.

    Me again....

    Just been getting my first braxton hicks of this pregancy!! I never actually had any with ds1 or ds2, but with ds3 I was getting them from about 30wks, so I was expecting to be getting them this time too? Thankfully there not painful at all, just uncomfortable:)

    Morning all,

    Welcome back KT :)

    Congratulations to both Saz and Michelle. Well done! :)

    I'm really bored today already, think it's the weather. It looks like it may be nice again this week so fingers crossed.

    Can I ask some advice please I've looked on kiddicare and the pram I wanted, the baby jogger mini double in black and grey is october delivery . I can pre order it. If I do do you think they will take the payments in October or now? I wanted to order a few things from them but dont want to pay now if im not getting until October . I've found it elsewhere on the net but not as cheap.

    Proud mummy moment ...My little lady has her first tooth popping through! :D

    Not long to go now Mel You'll have popped by the time I come back from holiday. I'll think of you when Im sunning myself :D

    Suzy - Yay on the tooth:D I'm not sure about the pre-ordering? I have ordered loads from them in the past but nothing that has ever had a late delivery date....mainly because I am too impatient;) I would be inclined to say they would take the money now though:)

    I would also be a bit wary of pre-ordering if it has an October delivery date...don't you need it by then, what if it is delayed?

    And don't sun yourself to hard:p:)

    Apparently everyone's waiting for stock from the supplier so its the same everywhere. You can get the odd one here and there but I cant find it in the colour I want. I didnt sleep last night and kept waking and worrying about it as the baby is due beginning of Oct so I definitely need it then.Im worried about it getting delayed further. I'm not bothered about it during the day it just kept me awake half the night! The joys of pregnancy worrying. I wouldn't mind I have the money but I just don't want to spend it now without getting something for it. I'm being tight ! lol

    Have you got everything you need Mel ?

    Oh right....I didn't relise it was a supplier issue. Do you have anything you could use for a week or so in case it is delayed? I suppose you could sling baby and push LO...or use two singles....Hopefully it wouldn't be delayed and will arrive just in time for you:)

    All I need to get is a pack of steri-bottles, they didn't have the newborn ones in Asda when I went last week, am going again tomorrow so will have a look then. If not then boots should have some:) apart from that I have everything.

    I have almost finished packing birth bag too.

    Yes, I have a sling I could use if I'm desperate. I'm not keen on it though but fingers crossed the pram will come in time so I won't have to struggle. I may order it later when OH gets up instead of doing it when back off holiday.

    You're all set then ..s8ds law you'll be OD because you're all prepared !

    Morning all!

    Suzy, I have used kiddicare before but not for a pre-order but I have pre-ordered from amazon, play.com and others. In my experience the money doesn't leave my account until the item is dispatched. It should be the case with kiddicare too. Might be worth giving them a ring/ email to check for sure.

    I had a terrible night, feel abit grotty. Baby kept fidgeting all night regardless of how I lay. At times it felt like he/ she was burrowing behind my hip, it was so painful. Also had BH all night. I was ready for eviction last night! It defo follows it's dad!

    If I go OD now i'm blaming you:p;)

    I have a feeling I will go a few days over, not too worried really. I know I have been moaning a bit lately but compared to some on here I have had it very easy:)
