    i have had no braxton hicks at all.....which worries me slightly even though the midwife said some women never get them.

    Laura

    I'm so glad to hear this! I haven't had any either and I thought I was weird! (well, I am weird, but it's good to know not in this)

    How are we 10 and 11 on the list jedi?! :eek:
    I haven't packed a bag yet and my mum told me off for it today :(

    My little monkey is misbehaving, and that why I haven't posted for a few days, been feeling a bit down. At the last MW appointment silly cow couldn't work out where monkey was lying and scared the life out of me by mentioning the words "emergency scan".

    Turns out, not so much of an emergency as she couldn't get me an appointment until over a week later. It's this Thursday and I'm really worried that monkey is breech and I'll have to have a section.

    I'm really confused though as I seem to have 2 big lumps in my bump - one reasonably high and the other diagonally opposite, but not in my lady garden. I get kicks and big movements what seems like all over the place, but I am not uncomfortable, no kicks in cervix or hips and I don't have heartburn. It almost seems like the baby is lying across the way, but I can't work out where the feet would be as I get kicks on both sides and up in my ribs too!

    OH jokes that we are breeding an octopus.

    Anyway, enough moaning.

    Thank you. No braxtons here either!! No idea what I would feel if I did. Never have a hard bump.

    Kitten - I really hope you manage to hold up ok, and definitely don't worry about voicing your fears on here, I think you're doing well to cope at all. I'm constantly nervous of things going wrong and my losses were all under 12 weeks, so I know I'm way past that, but I can't help worrying anyway.

    disziebubba - I had no idea hospitals didn't always supply milk anymore. With my son they just asked what formula we wanted and handed it to us. They even sent you home with 5 spare little bottles to make sure you were well stocked up. That's typical NHS cutbacks I guess! I'll have to check the situation with my hospital nearer the time.

    Gemma - hope you got checked out and everything was ok.

    The New Look sale looks tempting, but I already have tonnes of summer maternity clothes. Whilst the weather is poor I'm stuck in two pairs of trousers and one lot of leggings, yet I have 4 dresses and two skirts waiting for the good weather. Hurry up summer so I don't have to spend out on jeans!!

  • Hello everyone!

    Nursery is just about finished, we need to put the curtain rail up tonight along with the curtains and then we are done. Last night washed the newborn sized clothes and part dried then in the new tumble dryer. Hubby was having a cardio over how much its going to cost to use so we hung dried them to finish them off. I'll try to take some pics.

    Not yet finished the hospital bag - got a meeting with the birthing centre tomorrow along with the one antinatal class which we'd missed.

    Just read down the labour vibe list - crumbs! I've had some of the signs so might be the next. Been having braxton hicks nearly on daily basis!!

    Re tumble drier i had one in my old flat. They only cost something like 50p an hour to run and that should dry a whole load of newborn stuff so I just used mine once a week on full load! Pittance compared to having to put heat on to dry stuff!
    love you lots like jelly tots :o

    Just spotted this on the grabbit thread:
    http://www.mamasandpapas.com/product...006910/type-s/

    3 Mamas & Papas nursing bras, usually £18 each but currently on special offer at 3 for £15 - available in a few sizes still and in black or white.....checkout was a bit glitchy for me so I just called customer service and ordered over the phone

    Thanks to OP.
