Have my bag from debebhams - well actually, I erm ... may have 3 lol for those interested, I personally don't think the cabin size is big enough for my stuff (ideal for baby)

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I've just done the mammoth dish pile after making a Sunday dinner and now watching reruns of Come Dine With Me as there is nothing to watch I should be listing stuff on ebay but can't be bothered to.

I can't be bothered to Ebay either!

I've cleaned the little drawers, though I think they'll need lining as they have some marks that won't shift. Also searched through the bottom of my towel holder and found five baby towels hiding in there! That's one less thing I need to buy.

Interesting read, especially the comments after.

I could do with your opinions on C-section vs natural birth, mainly those who have had both, as I have the choice this time.

With DS I went into natural labour, went to hospital, did the pushing, forceps after epidural, the emergency C-section. He was 9lb4oz & they said I wouldn't have been able to naturally birth him anyway. I've never had this explained to me, but I take it as I have very small hips (size 6/8 when I've been skinny, don't get jealous my belly has never been under a 12/14, boobs 16, I look funny! This has been the case since 15) and possible a small width of my birthing canal?? I don't know.

I didn't know I was having a big baby, I'm not large 10stone at start of last pg, 11st at start of this one. (I'm 5'6") This time I get a growth scan in Nov and depending on results I can opt for C-section. I know these scans aren't always acurate, so some of the decision will be on how I feel.

I've seen alot of 9lb+ on here recently, so if we go with 9+ will result in emergency C-section anyway. But should I try & hold out for the natural experience? Is it worth the pain/stress/risk? I like the idea of quicker recovery, not so keen on everyones birth stories involving a 3rd degree tear!

I have already had a C-section, so already scarred, and I've kept my lady cave unbroken!

It's such a big decision & I REALLY need help deciding! Please!!

if i am offered a c section, there is no question about it i will be biting there arm off to have it, i am already struggling with the idea of a natural birth again, my last three were so traumatic and i didnt get to cuddle my baby after it they went off to nicu. i want a c section, wether they let me have one is a different matter.

I haven't got the £10 one, suppose I ought to see if it is still running! To be honest though, not sure if I would use it if I got it?

But I had the two £5 ones from ordering the catalogue. I used them in store because the postage would've been the same cost as the voucher saving, and used one to save on my crib mattress (they were the same price as the one I was going to buy in Kiddicare, so I did actually save £5). The other I used on a cute blanket that was reduced to £10 already, so it only cost £5.

Where did people get there £10 M&P vouchers? I'd find something to spend it on

i am debating whether to buy the following items from mothercare online

Medela Mini Electric Breast Pump £49.94 reduced from £59.99
pre ordering Tomy Digital SRV400 Video Monitor was £129.99 now £64.99

i will got through top cash back for 5% cashback and have a 10% off code.

Anyone know of any better offers before i click buy???

Not the same kind of monitor at all, but Amazon have the basic Angelcare one for £29.99. I wanted the model with sound as well, but I can't really afford it, and as my house is tiny, I only 'need' the breathing monitor part.

Check asda for monitors, we spotted the tommee tippee at £60 on the shelf so u can go and buy it in store, not sure if it will trigger the voucher for money off shopping though xxx
