afternoon everyone....

absolutely nothing happening here.... i knew i'd be a long hauler!!!!
Madwife came round to do my bp check, was still high but on par with previous so noone cares..... got follow up appt with consultant on wednesday where i'll get a stretch and sweep to try and kick start. she seems to think they wont let me go the full 14 days over because of bp risks, so my point was so why not do anything now? but it was the horrible wench so i was glad to just get her out of my house....

now im just BORED!!!!!! this is worst that symptom spotting for our bfp in the first place.....

Awww you're only 1 day over hon....that's nothing to worry about and you could go anytime:) I went 4 days over with ds1 and 3 days over with ds3....it really isn't anything. Sorry the midwife appt was useless, but i'm glad your BP hasn't risen anymore:

Redmel: ur lucky, I am defo going to consider our next move being to an area where there are actually decent shops... And jobs! My local town has no baby shops, a tesco has recently opened but the baby range is very basic, anything on offer is always sold out even if it's 1st day of offer and just opening! My next town has toys r us, mothercare and a small pram shop I'm yet to find. Mothercare is tiny, toys r us has the tiniest babies r us section, you blink and miss it. Oh how I love to live in the countryside!

Had to wear my maternity jeans today as I couldn't do up my other jeans! these are the blooming marvelous £3 ones and very comfy indeed OH actually tidied up I just cannot believe it, I daren't say a word though!

Ooooh sounds awful....I am 10-15mins from one city, 30mins from another city and then about 50mins from another, so shopping is not an issue:D Although I hate the horrible smelly town I live in and would love to live a little way out into the country, as long as I was still not too far from shops:) Funny really as I tend to buy a lot online anyway:cool:

I like this pushchair http://www.mothercare.com/Petite-Star-Zia-Stroller-Purple/dp/B0039IEMVI/sr=1-8/qid=1276442086/ref=sr_1_8/279-9047027-0200058?_encoding=UTF8&m=A2LBKNDJ2KZUGQ&n=42805041&mcb=core

tell me what you think and has anyone used it or seen it in real life

Things I like are it looks like it'll fold really small which is good for our tiny car and to store in the cupboard under the stairs. It seems a reasonable price. Says its suitable from birth (although I'll probably use a sling for the first few months, or the pram I have).

I don't need a pushchair but if I can get a new one for a reasonable price I thought this one might be it. I do have a pram already but its really old, was 2nd hand mamas and papas one I bought when pregnant with DD over 5 years ago but I will probably use it for the school run for the first couple of months. I have a car seat still from DS and am not keen on travel systems anyway. I prefer 2 handle ones - I like to hang my handbag on it. Hopefully I will get the HIPG and that more than covers the cost with a bit left over so though it would be a nice treat.

A fair few over on the parent thread have it and LOVE it, they can't praise it enough;):D

Thanks, this is my first and i think i am becoming quite the little drama queen at 12 weeks! I just feel terrible with no energy, from ive found out 6weeks ago apart from going to work everyday i have been out and about approx 7 times!! Im waiting on my energy boost in my 2nd trimester!

redmel1621

You will get your energy back, I know it doesn't feel like it and tbh it doesn't magically happen as soon as you hit 2nd trimester either, but it does happen. I found I was exhausted until somewhere between 14-16wks, all I wanted to do was sleep:)

can I go on the list? baby 2 is due on the 11th (ish)- being redated in a couple of weeks.

There will be 11 months between Alex and new baby

delain

Birth didn't put you off too much then :rotfl:

Congrats :T

KT1985

No, it didn't- it was horrific (induction, forceps, post partum haemorrage) but half an hour later I said I would do it again

I mean January the 11th- I am so dozy I didn't say which month!

My DD1 was quite a traumatic birth as well, so I feel for you there There weren't any complications for me though, she just needed a yank because she was huge

I'm not going to mess with the list, I will get it wrong I'm sure someone will do it in a minute

That will be busy having an 11 month age gap. My twins were born 21 months after DD1 and it was like being hit by a bomb :eek:

Kataratarina

Can i ask a silly question... i have been looking at prams over the last few weeks, so i am prepared but see if i was to buy this and use it from birth http://www.reviewcentre.com/r185717_2_Baby_Jogger_City_Mini.html

are people comfortable with having their new born lying facing out?
I am struggling to think of ever a time when ive seen a new born face out, but maybe im just being silly?
