Congratulations Fuddle!

Jannine, my cousin had dangerously high blood pressure and both her two children were delivered early at around 6 or 7 months, they're both healthy 6 and 4 year olds now (and born on the same day!), so do try not to worry too much Hope it all goes well on your followup visits etc.

My GTT test wasn't too bad but I feel a bit like a pincushion after the student couldn't find a vein, so I now have 4 holes! Just hoping I don't get a phone call... I'd taken some work to do, but ended up spending the 2 hour wait chatting to someone who is due 2 days after me, and was also there for a GTT. Actually, she said she'd had high blood pressure in her last pregnancy and had to be checked every 2 days, but all went fine and she went to full term with hers. It was just really annoying for her to have to drive half an hour to get checked out at the hospital!

HUGE congratulations to Redwood & Manc! Hope you're both settling in back at home with your new bundles....

Ro - Yummy yummy KFC! I had my fix on Wednesday (I was good and didn't have one last week). Zinger tower burger, nom nom nom.

Jannine - aw, hugs. I know you must be so worried, but you're in the right hands now with people keeping an eye on you. Hope you've got your feet up

Oh, and I meant to say that we bought our cot, moses basket and nursing chair yesterday. Not much left on our shopping list now. Very exciting

What are you ladies using as a hospital bag (for you?)

I have a small bag for baby (It's got 3 different compartments - zip bag) but struggling to find a nice one for me

I used a biggish holdall for both mine and the baby stuff. I wouldn't worry too much about it being nice to be honest - I threw up all over mine when I reacted to the pethedine

I'm off Mat bag shopping :rotfl:

Some lovely bags on there mimi - I like this one.....

Mimi_Arc_en_ciel

TWIGPIG I hate you lol I had just got the link for that one lol sending OH to buy it later lol

I do like the smaller version but im not sure if it will be big enough (I like dinky bags for some strange reason - possibly because i put EVERYTHING in them and it drives OH nuts lol)

twigpig

It's lovely...... I can already hear my debenhams card shouting at me from my purse :rotfl:

Lol I wanted it to be nice because OH's parents live 400 miles away and theres a good chance we will need to go down with baby rather than them come up - My pram JUST fits in the boot of the car - will have 2 car seats in the back, plus DD's trunki, my bag and OH's bag

AND when I return to work I have to travel to Germany and France so it'll be nice to have a decent bag to take with me

Mind you - might get rid of DD - she's driving me NUTS today. am seriously considering telling her she isnt going to friends party tomorrow if she doesnt start behaving!
