A friend of mine keeps her washables in a drawer too Krystal - I use nappy stackers for mine, because my changing table is in the bathroom, and there is nowhere to store nappies, so I hang them off that. I find them indispensable, but wouldn't bother if I was using disposables.

Not sure what we'll do in the new house, because there is no room for a changing table or mat in the bathroom, so I will have to rethink. I've never had my nappies anywhere other than next to a sink - how do people organise themselves if they can't? I don't want dirty nappies of any sort in anyone's bedroom really if I can avoid it.

You can still keep the bucket in the bathroom if that's what you're used to? I used to keep the bucket by the loo with DD1 as she had a changing unit in her bedroom that I used more often than not but now it's kept in the kitchen and I dry pail rather than wet which is what I did the first time around... I do all my nappy changes downstairs as a rule so it makes more sense for the bucket to be down here... I imagine once I have 2 in nappies I will be putting them through the machine more often too so it saves lugging it up and down stairs all the while...

Moneysaver, if you pop into the parent thread, there are a couple of mums on there that expressed a lot, they'll be able to give you some moral support If you wanted to try direct feeding again then do get in touch with the counsellors that came out to you, I promise they will be happy to help you every step of the way

Blimey - you lot have been busy today

Sorry I can't remember who posted what but hugs to Fairy, feeling low in pregnancy stinks xx

Giz - LOL at your belly button comment, I remember it well and been waiting for mine to do the same but I still have 1/2 inch before it even gets level!

Stretchmarks - I was lucky with DD, only had one which is about 1 and half inch long but it seems to have gotten longer now and I have the start of another one quite close to the first.

Meeting with the boss went better than expected. She could see how much I am struggling to walk and said that she doesn't expect to see me back at work anyhow in the state I'm in.
She is checking all my entitlements and getting back to me tomorrow. She expects that I can still start maternity leave when I wanted to at 33 weeks and get signed off until then. So feeling much happier now.

Pain now gone in groin only to be replaced by nausea of the worst kind. Oh and a bad case of diawoowoo in sainsburys (made it to the loo don't worry ) hmm actually, wonder if that had something to do with the pain.?

Now waiting to see if OH rings me st 8pm like he normally does or if he's still sulking.

Thanks for the research fuzz. Glad to know someone is looking out for this baby, even if it's not it's mummy

Tink - can I ask about your SPD? How bad is it? reason I ask is the right side of my pubis is moving forward and under and co-codomol not touching pain. I want induced but worried baby might get stuck.

Hi honey

BAD! I have been given Codine but it has NO affect what so ever she has suggested I try a tens machine but wants to check with my consultant 1st as they can bring on contractions :eek:

I too am worried about having a "natural" birth as my sister did this and as a result is still suffering with her Pelvis & back 13 years later :eek:

I have been reading up on early induction & elective sun roof given the choice I would choose a sun roof as I have read a lot to say that early induction is not always sucessful & can end up with emergency section. I would rather have the section from the outset.

I thought about saying to the consultant "can you 100% say I will not damage myself with a natural birth?" If you can;t then I want an elective section and I am not leaving this room until you agree ;):o DH is coming with me to support me so he can use his sudo medical vet knowledge to help me

What a pain for you. Are you twingy? Or any sorts of signs?

been a bit crampy all day but really nothing to get excited about, thankfully though oh's mum doesnt have to go to jury service tomorrow now so we dont need to rearrange things for the boys.

...just got a phonecall to say that the pram chassis has arrived at her house too so thats it, i'm officially ready :j, don't really want bubs to have the birth date of the 13th though but you never know, and only 2 days til my sweep (which MIL keeps calling my scrape or brush ) so the end is in sight :T. Away to have some not very healthy but very nommy burgers for tea then some pineapple for afters, i know you need to eat about 7 and they will taste ming but i couldnt resist one last thing to try x

1st grandchild on both sides eh?!?! Jammy beggar:p Have you joined freecycle too..up your neck of the woods I'm sure there's plenty of [STRIKE]chavs[/STRIKE];) individuals who are getting rid of stuff like that:D
And PMSL at the 400 thing:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: do you reckon it's worth finding out?:p:D
ETA: curiosity got the better of me:o 400 means that you need a cot mattress thats 140cm x 69cm:D hth lol

Sadly just first grandchild on my side. MIL already has 5 grandchildren and 4 great grand children. My mum however is a force of about 100 doting nannas. I should be grateful xx

There's nothing wrong with a birthdate of the 13th... My very Dear Daughter was born on the 13th

Been feeling pretty emotional the past week or so and just been lurking. I know how fairyshazza feels in terms of lack of posting but I guess we will post more the further along we all go.
At 17+4 at the moment and on the countdown to my 20 week scan on the 5th November. Hopefully all will be well.
I am not really feeling like I am showing much, just feeling fat at the moment. Still in between normal clothes, which are too tight and maternity which fall off me.
Sleeping rubbish at the mo too which is pretty annoying, just would love to have a full night sleep again but not happening.
I will probably finish work as soon as I can as I was moved to a different job at the start of this year and I hate it. Probably because it's pretty much permanent nights and that's tough at the moment. I would think I will finish on 1st Feb but leave will officially start on the 24th Feb.
Trying to sort out the house and redefine a bedroom as a nursery but as we need to insulate the walls (old house) it is going to be a while before I will be thinking about furnishing it which I would like to get done and out of the way.
Well, post over for the time being, will try and keep up and post a bit more!

This will be no 6 grandchild for OH parents but unfortunately both my folks have passed away or it would have been their first. I know they would have been chuffed to bits.

Nothing wrong with tomorrow for a birthday - it's mine :j:j

Matty leave - I don't get any , I am stuck with my job!! I am a SAHM :cool: - getting the midwife to believe me when I said I didn't need a MAT B1 form was a hoot!

Stretchies - got so many my belly looks like a road map!! still not got any new ones - but belly was soooo stretched after DD2 that there was lots of room before stretching begins :rotfl::rotfl:

Flips sake - just realise I am going to be 38 tomorrow
