You need an account on a photo sharing site like Photobucket, upload photos onto there and then select the photo you want to upload on here, click on 'share' and copy the code (starts [IMG]...) You then just paste the code directly into the text box, and hey presto, when your post loads, the picture will (should!) be there for all to see [/img]

I've been looking out for baby grow's or (sleep suits or whatever they call them these days!) in toweling material. Has anybody seen them anywhere? I can only find cotton. When my Mum had my younger brother (13 years ago) all his baby grow's were toweling and I would really like to get some. Any ideas??

Also any recommendations for a grow bag for a February born baby? This is really the only thing I still need to get and I don't know where to start, what tog etc??

Gro-bags (brand name!) or sleeping bags from anywhere else, are brill, but you need to be careful with new babies, some say dont use them for babies under 3 months, some say under 6months. You CAN use them for new borns onwards, but you have to make sure the headhole /arm holes on the bag, are snug enough that they cant work their way down inside at all, due to danger of suffocation.
Have a look around, and look at the different makes/styles and you should find something suitable. Maybe only buy one to start, as you wont know the shape/size of baby until they arrive, and that may influence which bags are suitable.

Morning Ladies and Bumps,

Thanks for the advice about babygrows and sleeping bags, will have a good look on the Mothercare web-site later.

Since the start of this week I seem to be suffering from all the horrible side-effects of pregnancy, I seem to have really bad wind (sorry hubby!!) and TMI alert I have noticed more discharge. I'm not worried as I know they are normal, but they are pretty gross! Especially for me as normally I like to think of myself as a 'lady' but the wind I'm suffering from is certainly not lady like!! :rotfl: Please tell me I'm not alone in my suffering! Also my need to pee every hour has come back with a vengance! The wonderful joys of pregnancy!

Have a wonderful Saturday all, I'm off out with hubby shopping (poor soul locked in a car with his windy wife!!) :rotfl:

P.S scan on Monday afternoon - excited!!!

HI hon. Yes, you are totally normal! My discharge has gradually been increasing. Got to about 21 weeks, and then have had to start wearing liners all the time (sorry about the info ladies!). Wind wise, i've been burping like an absolutel trooper since about week 8, and i've NEVER been able to burp! Its not coming the other end for me, but i know quite a few of the ladies who have been on the threads have been parping alot!

Good luck for the scan on Monday! Its great to see beanies again!

Wearing liners is a good idea, never though of that! I wish the wind was coming out the same end as yours Kira, I could cope with burping a lot!! I've noticed its got worse after I started eating about 4 bowls of weetos a day, maybe I need to cut back!!

Jannine & Kira - Oh the joys of pregnancy eh!! I confess to changing my niknaks twice aday, burping in bed (something I could not do before being pregnant :rotfl:), requesting that my back be scratched, wearing non flattering clothing in unusual combinations, I dont think hubby was impressed when I sat in my chair with my non-maternity pants half mast because I could not stand them anywhere near my waist :eek: and I am still having really inappropriate/nutty dreams inbetween getting up a million times to wee in the night.....

Did I mention that I do not like being so unladylike :eek:
I am being interupted by shuffling from mousey down below who obviously does not like me typing so near him.:D

I had my 15 week visit with the mid wife, iron levels, glucose levels, blood tests all good. Everything seems to be going ok, fingers crossed.

Ro totally agree with u, being unladylike is shocking, but sod it we're pregnant. Wait until the baby comes, my cousin's baby does the loudest, smelliest farts ever!!! Didn't know so much wind could fit inside something so small, but people laugh and thinks its cute!!!! What is that about?!?!

I'm at the stage where I'm sure people are looking at me thinking she's piling on the pounds, no baby bump yet just look fatter, getting impatient now for the bump!!! lol!

Didn't realise nutty dreams were part and parcel of pregnancy, just thought it was me!! Won't tell you what I've been dreaming of, but OH was disgusted and slight aroused at the same time!!!

Hello Lola

Just remember when other people look at your tummy just hold it out nice and proud :rotfl:they will get the idea...

Glad all is well with you & thanks for the warning re baby farts tbh had not really thought about that!:eek:

as for dreams last nights was an xrated version of .....................Downton Abbey :eek: errh not sure where that one came from :rotfl::rotfl: I am sure your husband will be amused at your strange dreams as you relay them in the morning.....

Ugh I had a horrible dream this morning! I was trapped in my parent's house hiding from a plague of zombies! I was running round the house trying to close all the windows as my mum had left them open. I'd done all the upstairs ones but when I got to the top of the stairs to come down and close the rest I couldn't come down because there was a zombie stood at the front door looking in and I didn't want them to see me! Then I woke up...
