Dream forgot to reply to your post about the feeding thingy if you believe you will use it then its not a waste of money but i personally have always taken bottles of water up with me and put powder in when needed. All three of mine have been room temperature fed with no problems the hospital dont warm the milk they give them so i dont see the point in doing it at home i think its a lot of faff for nothing.

I never warmed bottles 13 years ago for my daughter I made then up & then used them as & when needed. Never did her any harm

bother.. dd2's 13th birthday next Monday.. best speak to her about what she wants to do!!

Tinks i did that with my first two as well but decided to compromise with the HV's advice this time and just make the water up first not one of them have ever had a tummy bug whilst on their bottles. to be honest with these bottles im glad i did as they leak constantly and the bag would have been good for nothing by now if it had been milk in them ewwwwwwww.

swollen feet! does anyone else's feet get so swollen that they cannot get their trainers on? and also my foot is so swollen, its swallowing up my toes a little and I have a pins/needles type sensation in them... its just gotten really bad in the last week and its not as though it has been very hot particularly.

with the bottles, I would just put the cooled water in them too and add the powder as and when the bottle was needed. it saves a lot of time from storing in the fridge and then warming them up etc

Hi ladies

feeling really flat this evening for no real reason.

Saw an ex today, that I knew I would probably see (see him once a year) and I am sure it was the hormones etc, but had loads of "what if" thoughts Jesus it was 12 years ago

So now I've done something stupid and PM'd him on facebook. Someone unplug this bl00dy PC :rotfl:

Re: Stretch marks I would just use olive oil if you really want (it's a lot cheaper and healthier than bio oil!) but nothing can stop them appearing if they're gonna! I have none on my bump but loads on my bum... nice!

I am using the sanctuary mum to be oil which seems to be non petroleum based and smells lovely (whole room smells of it now as I spilt some last night!

re swollen feet, mine have been mainly ok though my old sandals were pinching, bought some eart spirit ones these in a nicer colour and some with a toe post at the Outlet in York, they are divine and adjustable...might get some more if I can!

Have a good day all, I'm running a training day today so apart from when I first get in I won't be on.

I have managed to get a doctors appointment this morning at 9.10 I feel totally wiped out by this cough & vomiting.

Best get me big fat butt in the shower

*BigBird*

Woo-hoo! Only listed my CBFM on eBay last night and already someone's bought it for the buy it now price of £60 :j So now I can finally buy a box for my wedding dress and also get some nice things for Flump

Thanks for the comments re the 250 mile drive. There is someone who lives fairly near me who could pick me up on her way, but unfortunately she's not one for social events so I doubt she'll be going DH and I are off up north for a wedding 3 weeks before the golf day, which will be 250 miles each way. I'll have a go at driving some of the way for that to see how I get on, and in the meantime ask work to put me down as a possible attendee.

Swollen feet - I pretty much live in my flip flops now as can't bear to wear full shoes. Was up at the allotment yesterday and put my wellies on since we've had so much rain lately. They went on OK as it was early and my feet tend to settle down overnight. But by the time I came to take them off, my feet had swelled up inside them and they were well and truly stuck :rotfl: DH and I had a bit of a struggle to get them off.

Eeeeek... 1st antenatal class in a mo!!

And 1st RLT later!!

With DS's bottles I'm sure I made them up and put in fridge when needed... and he liked them cold! Thnigs are soooo different now. They can't possibly be made up in advance

Flip flops... I was destined to be heavily preg during summer cos I love flip flops and there's no way I can get any other shoes on!
