flower08- i am so sorry to hear of what you have already been through, some things are so unfair. I hope that you are feeling a bit better now that the bleeding has stopped for you, hoping they keep a close eye on you and you take care of yourself.

Oh yes they are watching me like a hawk now! Would be quite nice to just be left alone to get on with things now hopefully after 20 week scan if it shows that all the empty sac is now completely gone they will leave me alone a bit.

I hope your feeling a bit more relaxed today after yesterdays events xx

Flower I can't see any issues with reusing a steriliser, maybe put some milton into it initially to sterilise it/ and descale etc. We still have our sons 3yr old steriliser but I am thinking of using the £6 microwave one I ordered as I don't really want my son touching the electric one (I will keep the micro one in the microwave) I might still use the electic one though if I can find somewhere to keep it that my son cant reach! I still have some of his bottles but no idea whether they are safe to use/ best to bin or what?

I will be buying new bottles. I'm sure I have read something about not using the teats again, so I guessed that by the time I had bought new teats I may as well just get bottles as well (can usually find them on offer somewhere).

Thank you for the advice everyone, think we will just give it a good clean and descale it and save ourselves the money for something else baby (or DS!) needs.

Cleofish - Big hugggsss, that sounds so awful. I know what you mean re taking professionals words for it.

Re what's been going on for you, I've had similar in that discharge varies and I panic, especially when I can just feel a difference and then I always check.

I'm terrible in that every little thing that's different I look it up online, really not a good idea.

Also on the topic of mothercare & payment plan, we used it for our travel system, no interest and as along as it's paid off 10 days before we want it delivered (you have to chose your delivery day when you do the payment plan) then it doesn't matter when and how much you pay off until then.

My parents are buying us the travel system now, so we paid £20 straight away and then my parents are paying the rest for us at the beginning of August as we chose the 23rd August for it to be delivered.

How many people are having their new pushchair in there house before baby is born? Dh mum & gran are panicking that we want to buy it before baby is born - we've explained as most things are in a set we need to in order to have a car seat to take her home in...they are adamant we can't take the pushchair into the house - Dh & I aren't superstitious though but thinking for the sake of peace & quiet we might leave it at MIL house until baby arrives, what is everyone else doing?

The problem you will have is that it might take forever to be delivered as mine was out of stock and took almost 3 weeks. Could you have it delivered to someone else's house? Maybe MIL's house if she is so against it

If she hasn't got the room maybe time it so it arrives a couple of weeks before that should be okay shouldn't it?

We are but only because its DS's old pram and car seat

When I was pregnant with DS my MIL wouldn't let us keep them in the house! She only lived 5 minutes round the corner so when we knew I was definitely in labour she let OH put the car seat in the car. She then took the pram round to our house while I was in hospital.
We are not superstitious at all, but we let her do what she wanted just for the peace and quiet

Yeh we'd be buying it beforehand but just store it at MIL as she has room, I want all the big things sorted by September just in case she's early, and I don't count November with due date being the 2nd I'm working on the fact that she might be a few weeks early and want to make sure everything important is sorted in plenty of time.

Thanks, yes after a good nights sleep im feeling alot better! Going back and for hospital can be a pain but least they mean it for the best, and its better than no support. I hope everything goes ok after 20 wks and you can enjoy the pregnancy without having the hospital on your back

My mum is also not letting me buy a pram until very later and then not in the house! Hopefully my parents will be able to store it with them as id rather keep an eye out for any bargains early and pick one up.
