PC, I swaddled both of mine but ive never used one of those, I might get one though as I no longer have the one i had with DS.

I had a cotton blanket before that was in a diamond shape with one corner folded in, then swaddle them. They both loved it to be tight. After a few weeks I moved to half swaddle.

While you ladies were talking healthy eating earlier I was making chocolate cupcakes-oops lol!

i feel sick i thought morning sickness was supposed to wear off, i'm 17 weeks tomorrow i've got to go out on the bus later, really not looking forward to it.

someone, dipsy i think mention the grobag thermometer, is that the egg shaped one that changes colour? i was thinking of getting that as our house can get very cold. what are everyone else's opinions on it?

I think it's to do with the breathability isn't it? - them being cotton and full of holes!

they do 2 types. the cotton ones are hard they are a bit better after washing but not great. thy do acrylic ones as well which are softer but.. not cottom.

I got brushed cotton ones from dunelm which are lovely think the cotbed ones were £6.99 each but they are very soft and cotton

Yeah so if they get them over their head they can still breathe. Acrylic ones can be used if it's cold, but not recommended all the time as they're more likely to overheat in them than cotton.

Thanks .... may have to get some bought then!

It does get better little angel, I promise. Ive had morning sickness all the way through and Im at 25 weeks now. Its got easier the last 4 or so though I still feel nauseous on a morning, I just make sure I get breakfast quickly and Im fine.

Im starting to worry about baby and blankets and clothes and overheating him :eek: Ive not had a newborn baby around before, just visited them lol so not sure of everything! Its all terribly confusing lol.

GROBAG THERMOMETER-I have one !!! I bought it from ebay for £4 inc p+p its great. Dont worry about room being cold , you can add layers. Its more difficult having a warm room cause your not really supposed to have windows wide open. Its a tricky one. It also depends on your baby. Im always cold , where my OH is like a toastie bag , he is always really warm. Im forever sticking my cold feet on his leg :eek: <---- OH at 2 in the morning

TMI alert , DTD with OH last night first time since Ive had a bump (not since getting pregnant im not that cruel) and today I ache all over , is this normal ? My back is really sore almost like pms ?
