    MOTM more than likely she is 5 or 6 weeks as by the method medical peeps use you are actually pg for 2 weeks before conception :p

    MOTM you need the date of the first day of her last period and we can find a date for you.

    It was 24th June as she 'came on' the day after eldests Birthday.

    5 weeks seems to be a common answer. Thanks :o

    Kindof I wouldn't skip a size (because they get more expensive each time ;)) so I'd go for sz4 :)

    Maz - I personally wouldn't get a child a present that wasn't a close friend of mine's LO or I was going/invited to their party :p but those books look fine to me :)

    I prefer the books too and think Ms MOTM (WOTM?) is 5 weeks pregnant :)

    3, still thinking.

    Oh, and the FB page isn't a FB group, just a way to like a statement without committing to having a link to an actual page :)

    All my work stuff and tons of home stuff is done for the day. Just eating breakfast now (yes, it is 4pm) and waiting for Molly to wake and Husband to come home. It is still bucketing down outside, so glad we didn't go out as planned!

    You are 4 weeks pregnant
    Your due date is: 31 March 2011
    according to the NHS calculator http://www.nhs.uk/Planners/pregnancycareplanner/Pages/DueDateCalculator.aspx but that is assuming her cycle length is 28days

    kindof - sorry, I didn't puree so I don't really know what they recommend but pear is sweet isn't it?

    No worry, I don't know why it popped into my head. I am probably incorrectly linking things up in my mind. Ignore me!

    Benjamin started going regularly from 11am to 5am quite early, at about 6 weeks...then at 12 weeks I put him in his own room and he was in his cot from 7pm ish to 7am ish...but would wake for 1 or 2 feeds, but then it changed and he woke more regularly. Then about 6 months ish he began to sometimes sleep through without a feed but would wake for a cuddle/needing to be settled. From about 9 months he consistently slept through without feeding but needed settling. From 12 months he consistently didn't need any attention throughout the night.

    Last night he woke me at least once every hour, sometimes more :(
