Hello! We're back from IKEA!



Me & Finn, Somnium & Tahlie, jennynoo & Erin, always29 & Thomas. The rest are on my FB. If any of you ladies don't like the photos, blame DH the photographer :rotfl:.

Massive apologies to Claire (lou66) as I forgot to get the camera out before she left .

Anyway, was nice to see everyone and play with babies (Tahlie is so ickle, it's adorable!), as well as nomnomnom IKEA meatballs . We will have to do it again sometime soon!!

That probably is a good idea - I did start looking into birth pools but should get a bit more organised.


:rotfl: *whispers* But I would say 6.9 milliard.


Yes please!

will do Sami, Mel, SJ and searchie can chip in too

My fave homebirth birth story on MSE is searchies because Jeremy Kyle is on in the background and that really tickles me :rotfl:

pool-wise, the eco one from pool in a box was very fab, due to padded bottom, space for OH, easy to purchase liners, and great if you get a thermometer too. Oval shape is good too cos you can stretch out longways but there's still room for the MWs table (IYSWIM?)

I have just looked up milliard on wikipedia and now my brain has overheated and is no more :D

She did a PND check on me too (is this standard for a weaning chat?? lol!) and said i scored 20/30 so need to see GP asap for some pills... She's gonna ring the housing woman too. Not sure what she's going to say but she thoroughly dissaproved of the restraining order comment. Thanks for all your replies, not sure i feel strong enough to go into battle with her via complaints though. Even the HV said this woman has an abrupt manner but this will work in my favour if we can get her on board.

Have you made an appointment to see your GP? Don't ignore it.

:TFor your HV phoning housing - it sound's like you've got a good one. Hope it helps.


:T for Charlotte going to the toilet all on her own! Clever girl.

You took the pee out of me for saying this a few weeks ago

I know I teased, but I knew exactly what you meant.


No further advice on Little Mr Stroppy Pants, other than ignoring/distracting him.

Little Miss Stroppy Pants is at the same stage, now she can do a few things for herself, she wants to do everything for herself.

She walked into the door frame with the push along this morning and instead of her usual turning round and looking to me for help, she had a strop instead and went on the floor crying! I ignored the stroppyness, pushed it away from the frame, and picked her back up to push it again.

Don't worry, it's only a phase , and he should be over it by the time he's 18. :rotfl::rotfl:

Ooooooooooooh, FOUR BABIES in ONE PICTURE!!!

It's like Christmas, so it is

All eight of you look lovely.

Well done Charlotte! I missed her big girl bathroom trip.

Weezl, when you say that the pool has space for OH, do you mean space for him to get in with you?

yep! (although I'm sure he could go in on his own if he fancied!)

Whydy'ask?

:T :T Charlotte! (sorry just reading backwards now). Susan, sounds like you're super organised for number 2, fabulous. Those babies sleeping long at night need to come and give mine a lesson . I think it's partially because I've started dream-feeding him again, so am going to try dropping that now he's used to his new bedtime.

Beenie, fab the HV stuck up for you. Hope you can get something sorted and agree the housing lady was being absolutely inappropriate. We'll all rooting for you, even if you feel like you don't have any help/support .

SS, ooo that's really interesting re: mental illness. I love nerdy facts like that. Wonder why the difference in UK vs. Europe? DO the Brits stoop more or something?

ETA: just got an e-mail, but HiPP Organic are running a comp for tickets to the Baby Show in B'ham.

As long as I know I am not the only one suffering

It's just bl00dy annoying because he is so delightful one second and then a complete pain in the a$$ the next and then back to wonderful cuteness again!



Beenie - I haven't commented because I don't think I have anything helpful to add. But now I feel bad so I just want to let you know that the full force of MFD's 'hope you get piles' vibes are currently directed at your neighbours and your waste of space housing officer.



The tops of my feet are really itchy. They get so about this time every day. Nothing is touching them. I know itchy feet-tops is bad in pregnancy - is it okay in normal everyday life?
