I really like Queen C's, MERFE. And they have all my notes from my LLETZ, so I'd prefer to stick with there.

It's just a pain having to get there, although it didn't take me too long today in the car.

Try registering for Netmums KK if you haven't already, you'd be surprised what people give away!

ETA: Giz, my hair is an absolute b***h where colours are concerned, all the time, not just when PG yours may well be ok!

Thanks for the suggestion Rach I have actually got one of those in my wardrobe I keep shoes in but I never thought about the baby's wardrobe!

Delain: I will try netmums. Do keep looking around but my OH is v fussy with furniture, he will only have really sturdy items as we're had some pretty flimsy stuff collapse in the past so I can see why!

Why am I craving beer!?!

Things that go bump and collapse in the night... That's part of the fun with flat pack furniture

Hi all, I am going to have to get my OH to ban me from the computer!! I have now bought a sofa bed off ebay which is fine because we planned it.

But.... I have just bid and won on an electric fire & fire surround to replace the dodgy gas fire we had. Have emailed hubby to tell him but he hasn't replied yet! :eek::o I thought it was a bargain lol! £51 and its lovely.... :o:o:o:o

Hope everyone doing ok.

I agree with Rach you hear good and bad about every hospital. Very early on I researched hospitals across London, as I was being pushed to one in particular by my GP and found that to be honest all London hospitals are pretty much of a muchness, they are all pretty big units, most have appalling stats for interventions/c-secs etc, but also at the cutting edge of new technology/ideas.

In the end I went with the one the GP is affiliated too (St Thomas's) and I've been more than impressed so far. Not that I've completely ruled out doing the birthing at home either, which so far the midwifes are quite happy with too, despite my age.

Re hospitals, Mayday seems OK everytime I have been for my scans/booking in appointment. I also like the fact it has a birthing centre within the hospital but think will go on a tour when I have a Saturday free.

Rach I'm enjoying my first day was OK spent most of it on the train from my folks, thankfully didn't have to get the tube home as was baking today (well compared to up north!!). Is frightening how much I've got to do, lets hope bubs isn't early . .

I have a shoe one plus some bigger ones for tops etc. A beer won't do you any harm i'm sure!

Why won't you be having the baby at Kings, if you don't mind me asking?

It's not that local to me, my local hosp is Farnborough and because they don't have a nuchal scanning machine they 'outsource' it to the big centre at king's. FiL had triple bypass at kings and we were v impressed, same with the birthright place...as make it 3 says cutting edge of technology!

My dad and his gf are coming thurs aft-sat. I'm a bit grumpy about it as I'd prefer just to see my dad on his own, his gf is nice but since she retired I never just see my dad...haven't even seen him at all since christmastime. She wants to go to Hampton court or Kew on Fri for the day..not sure what to do as I'm not gonna be able to walk around much.

I've had 2 sips of OHs budweiser think that's settled my craving! It's weird lack of alcohol hasn't bothered me for months and now it is!

My bellybutton is sooooo sore and I have a stetchmark that looks just like Patrick from Spongebob squarepants oddly enough! OH pointed it out I thought he was winding me up but it really does!

PM me and I'll try to get them posted Wednesday.. off to register Freja in the morning so not sure I'll be up for much afer that! OH's dad is coming tomorrow afternoon to meet Miss Popularity.
