It's actually not a bad wee area. Very quiet Would rather here than Cathays. Wouldn't go to that park tho lol. Good luck today hun. Let us know the color of your bean if u find out. Yeahsr keeps asking when I'm going to hospital to get my belly button widened. Ad she been telling the nursery her baby boy showed his winks at the scan. Lol.

Good, our student neighbours have been soooo loud!!

so, no anomalies here even though the sonographer did pause a lot but it's a bonny, bouncing, boy!! must be something in the water here in Wales

we celebrated with a pub lunch and a charuty shop trawl, leading us to a toy cow that is about knee height and moos, plus a changing mat and baby bath support from home bargains - v. inexpensive plus free nappies with the bounty tesco voucher so hopefully a bit :money: nearly got the boots changing bag but apparently we have to wait on a coupon?

shame I didn't see the midwife today, I think I may have either thrush or a yeast infection :mad: hoping i can be squeezed in tomorrow at my docs as its midwife day but i dont know if she does every week, eep...

Congratulations if u drive, we went to sully car boot sale last Sunday and they had LOADS of baby stuff. I got a baby play blanket for a quid and a top toe bowl for 50p whoop. Also tk Maxx in town have high chairs and breast pumps super super cheap in clearance at the minute. I got a Chico 360 table seat for £6!!!!

Student_Mrs

Oo thanks, student loans in Monday and hubby has been saying for ages he wants a good car boot sale so will google that now

I think we'd like a 4d scan but as MSE as possible, do you know the best place in Cardiff? I'm going to keep an eye out for vouchers now... fingers crossed.

Hi ladies. Hope you are all well.
I know a lot of people dont like to use them but now I've had my bundle I have no use for my Doppler so if anyone would like it I'm happy to pass it on. I'd rather someone used it than it was just thrown. It's the Angelsounds one.
If anybody wants it just let me know

These ones are cheapest I could find http://www.peekaboobabyscan.co.uk/ but this one is better value

I'm dying for one but oh has flat out refused and I understand why £60 for 10 minutes is a bit steep. I gonba keep an eye on groupon. I'm going to baby show at end of month in Cardiff city stadium so hoping there might be special offers there.

That's so kind of you happydays. I would probably not leave my house though- would be listening all day! They practically had to prise me from the sonographer's couch!

Student Mrs, re the thrush I asked my midwife what I could take and she said that the Canesten 1% cream is perfectly safe to use, and you can buy it over the counter. I double checked with the pharmacist and she agreed, so I've been using it and it's great, hope this helps you a bit.

Student_Mrs

Agreed, hubs is taken with idea of dvd I think. Funny man, but its nice to see him keen.

thanks shellgirl, hoping that is all it is. thought i was just having more discharge but noticed over last week its not v pleasant

tadaa, have you had 16 week appt? doppler is what midwife uses to get heartbeat of little one. Think i would panic myself too much happydays but let me know if no-one claims it as i could be tempted! hope you are feeling a bit better with your two boys xxx

When I saw my midwife I started to ask her about my symptoms, and didn't even get through the first sentence before she told me it was definitely thrush. Apparently it's more surprising if you don't have a bout of it during this trimester!

I definitely recommend the Canesten 1%, think it was about £3 from Tesco pharmacy, so won't break the bank. Hope it get's sorted for you- I know how annoying it can be!
