    Raspberry Tea, you can get capsules from H&B, and they work just as well. I started taking them from 34 weeks and I thought they worked wonders (as did the midwives) until he got stuck :D

    All they do is strengthen the muscles of the uterus, but the tablets are easy enough to take x

    I'm so jealous. I don't have a nursery to decorate! :( I have no chest of drawers or anything. I might actually cry.

    Twinklie can you do any crafts hun? You could make a door sign, or some bedding, or some little peg bags for keeping stuff in, if you can sew you could make a nappy stacker. Or you could start a scrap book?

    I really want to paint a lampshade as I can't find one I like x

    It is hun yes, its the Jungle Fun one from Babies R Us. I didn't want to take it out of the packaging yet until nearer the time.

    This is the link http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Babies-R-Us/Nursery/Bedding/Coordinated-Ranges/Jungle-Fun-CotCotbed-Bedding-Set(0082363)


    My mum bought us the cotbed set from BabiesRUs the other weekend when they had the 20% off offer on. So we got the cotbed, mattress, bedding set and matching changing mat for £160. It's really nice too.

    She's not told my step dad yet though....

    Love your nursery ikkle. That's the same range I want to go for from babies r us. We are going for the white cot though. Like kitten, I'm hoping they have a 20% off again before September.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    It really is nice, the cot's so easy to put together too. I didn't realise it was dropside on one side either so it's an added benefit. The white was out of stock when I ordered so we went for the Antique one. Really pleased with it. Think I might look into whether I can get a drawer or some storage boxes to go underneath it too x

    i have the jungle bumper set from toysrus too :)

    have been to belgium for a holiday, 2 days in bruge and 2 in brussells, really enjoyed myself and was very pleased i went, pregnancy didnt hamper me too much apart from being unable to shop for clothes grrr

    31 weeks today - was back at work today and it tired me out. midwife appointment tomorrow, i am not sure if they will take blood to recheck my iron levels as have only been on tablets for about 2 and a half weeks.

    for those in cambridgeshire area, these guys do some great classes, my OH attended their free daddy natal class and really enjoyed it. i am going to sign up for their daisy birthing (£54)which is about active birthing as some of you ladies have been talking about.

    i seem to be getting milk from my breasts more frequently now, almost every day, just a few droplets though, this does freak OH out but i find it interesting

    hope everyone is as well as they can be,

    Laura
