12 to 24 week pregnancy thread

Yeah I just signed up on the website - think you need to have an advantage card. The vouchers came through a few weeks later as Mrs Bunny said. All you need to do is buy a pack of New Baby or Active Fit Pampers (which are about £5) - however none of the pampers nappies were scanning att my Boots so they let me take a pack of Boots own nappies that cost £2.50!! Bag has loads of different compartments - looks like it will come in pretty handy.

Thanks, just signed up for the boots club!
Having a quiet day, going through my wardrobe and packing away everything that doesn't fit, and getting rid of things that I don't wear anymore. A sort out was overdue so there's lots of tatty stuff that is going in the bin, and a few bits which I'll charity shop/ pass to a friend. Feels like my wardrobe is half the size now! A bit sad but lots easier. Also getting bits ready for holiday. Got enough dresses that stretch over my bump and two new tankinis from asos that are great so all set.
Anomaly scan on Monday, will be 22 weeks Tuesday...

Mrs Bunny I have been getting out of breath quite often too

Lushlifesaver This is my second pregnancy and I started to show at 8 weeks and now at 20 weeks I have quite a big bump

We have been trying to clear the dining room today and it has been tiring work, for a while now we have just dumped everything in it and now we can hardly get in the door While we are getting work done we are just going to have to move things constantly between rooms. I just have to keep focussed on the end result

Hi ladies,

Jumping up from the less than 12 weeks thread to this one! Had my scan on Thursday and finally found out how pregnant I am - measurements put me at 12+1 which I was really pleased with as the doctor had me down as 9+3 (which I knew was wrong all along!). EDD is 2/4/14.

We've now told both sets of parents which was lovely. Touchwood I've been lucky and only had a little nausea/tiredness which has been fine to deal with. Now I'm trying to enjoy being pregnant for a couple of weeks before I start worrying about the 20 week scan!

When did people start buying things/sorting out baby's rooms?

I'm 17+4 and I've started picking up a few bits.... had an M&S voucher to use (free from sky) so I got some muslins, and bought some more muslins on facebook (3x brand new for 50p!)
I doubled up the Tesco vouchers and bought a sprung cot bed mattress with removable washable cover and 2 sheets for just £1.50! Collected in store for free.
I got a pack of 12 A3 sized Eric Carle (hungry caterpillar) prints for £6 in a charity shop too.
Plus I have the free fisher price lion toy from the bounty pack and the hooded towel.
Off to a boot sale today to see what bargains we can find.

Because I teach the only times I have off are holidays, and I just don't have time for decorating at the weekends. Baby could be here by Feb half term, there won't be time in the Christmas holidays, so it's looking like baby's room will be all done in Oct/Nov half term... I'll be 23-24 weeks then. I guess it's good to be prepared!!!

Emz - we had babies room done by 23w just because I wanted it done. We just need to sort clothes and buy chest of drawers and cot mattress

hi all

well this morning, I have had my first morning sickness......I take my hat off to you ladies who had it terrible during the first trimester/still do have it. Twice so far today and I feel like I've ran into a brick wall. DH aint feeling too good either but his is alcohol related! Both feeling sorry for ourselves on the sofa!!! :rotfl:Brushing my teeth this morning set it off also I notice (before I was sick) my tummy felt like a washing machine, could feel baby moving and it was making some strange noise. Bit like hunger noise but stranger!!!!

We are getting bits for the nursery as we go along. Bought chest of drawers the other night and yesterday DH put them up and I pop all the bits I have so far in them, need lots more storage though. Sort of waiting for a few weeks as my mums friend has lots of furniture in her loft that we can have but as my mum is on holiday I have to wait. Thou I do have my eye on a cot bed on ebay that is local to me for next to nothing so far. 1 day to go! I would like it all done before Christmas, well before November as we have so many birthdays in November and December along with Christmas and you never know.....anything can happen and baby might come early (fingers crossed for a full term pregnancy - my mum was early with all of us, me being 6 weeks early).

Gonna try and manage some soup now getting very hungry.

we've started to pick things up as we've seen them on offer.

So far we have:
Moses basket & stand (ebay bargain)
Bodysuits a few sizes (M&P/ Mothercare sale)
Bouncy chair and changing mat (M&P sale + £10 off voucher)
Muslins/cellular blankets (aldi baby event)

Now I've started looking at furniture. We already have a pine waredrobe we will use (not going to get a tiny baby one) so am looking for matching cotbed and draws/changing unit. Got my eye on an ebay one too!

Then hopefully we'll look at travel systems and buy when we see a good deal/boxing day sales.

Mrsbunny keep nibbling, that's what kept my nausea away.

I got the contents of my hospital bag today so all I have left to buy is one nappy wrap and that is me done :j:j:j

It is such a relief to be organised and it has made me feel a lot more relaxed
