MSE Pregnancy Club 19

dreambirdie - I hadn't realised that!! I must start taking it now!! I did take it for the first few weeks, and then thought I would leave it for a while - but must get straight back on - NOW!!! do not need low iron on top of everything else!!

So excited though - have agreed to buy a pram off someone on Gumtree - its an Emmaljunga (have always coveted one and would never pay the price ) complete with carry cot and car seat. Lady tells me she has barely used the pram, it is immaculate and it certainly looks it in the photo - not able to collect it till sunday because it is over 100 miles away! desperate to get it now - whole thing was £300 which was my budget :T, do think anyone will notice if I start pushing it around now - empty :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

you should try and get a prescription for it some doctors wont give it because it is expensive but 2 girls out of my work got it on prescription, might be worth a try? im busting to push my pram around aswell, cant wait to finally use it, although im in a bad mood with it at the moment. took it out a few nights ago to practice putting it up and down and changing from carrycot to car seat etc and it was soooo stiff(prob just because its new) i got so frustrated with it i could have cried!

oh Dream how frustrating! it probably is because its new - mine should be well lubricated - LOL once you get it sussed out it will probably be a doddle! What pram did you get? I had planned to get a new OBaby Zezu and a cabriofix car seat, which would have come in at about £300 so am sooooo delighted to get what I have - never dreamed I would get the whole thing, you will get to push your pram waaaaaay before me - I am not due till January (so hope I don't have to be c sectioned - other wise will be aaages before I get to push!! we live up a hill - I don't think I would be fit for pushing up hill). Got my pram in black so now I NEED to know the flavour so I can get pink or blue blankets!! Just have to persuade DH that he wants to know too!!

its a redkite storm (i think thats what its called) not a big brand i dont think i got it from a local store just, it was £300 for pram,carrycot and car seat. really pleased with it as its lightweight so good for me getting on/off public transport!

Does anyone have a list of what I'll need in my hospital bag? Think I'm sorted but ticking stuff off will give me one less thing to worry about

Courgette, saw you're other post, don't have any advice - just really sorry that its making you feel so low, hope babs puts in a last minute appearance before tomorrow.

It must be the most anticipated baby in MSE history!
