32 weeks today oh %*#! how did that happen!
Have just had a major oh heck moment and updated my baby items spread sheet!!

I have 272 first size nappies in 3 different brands (im not fussed which ever make the least mess will be the nappy of my choice and ive not paid full price for any of them!!) Same with Wipes I have 3 different brands because my bub might be sensitive and im such a caring mother to be (not that they cost nothing or where free honest)
Now trying to find space for all his/her stuff and its proving difficult although the Huggies starter pack boxes hold a surprising amount.
Where are you all storing everything?!

We went away when I was 29 weeks preg and took with us the change bag full of the smallest size clothes and nappies we have and some toiletries for baby as i was scared Id go into labour there or on the m6 or something. OH had great pleasure telling our midwife 2 weeks ago. But she was actually quite understanding about it and reckons those who are more prepared and know exactly where everything is and have everything they could need have an easier labour and early few days as its a control thing and with the unknowing of when your going to pop its the only thing you can control so its better if you have a tendency to like to be in control (read im a control freak and hate not having a level of control so it made sense to me)

Raspberry leaf tea/capsules - lovecrafting you didnt come across as anything. I personally dont want to do anything that will result in baby coming earlier than it should so I think ill follow the midwifes advice and go with 36/37 weeks because i dont want to have the feeling I caused a prem birth.

Arnica tablets is anyone planning on taking them? I think I am Ive been told they really help after birth with swelling and stuff and Im figuring if I get a bruise I stick arnica cream on it and it heals really fast so the tabs might help - will ask the consultant on Friday.

Growth scan tomorrow eep then hopefully final consultant on Friday.

Only have a few more little bits to get now I think

I am 32 weeks on thursday - I prob have about 6 nappies in sizes newborn and 1, plus about 16 pack sof wipes. I have the cotton wool, shampoo, bathing stuff already - I am like you phunkles and love to be organised. I am storing min ein the built in wardrobes in in DS1's room. He feel slike he is doing something nice for baby by looking after the nappies etc. Bless him.

LOL at the hospital bag, but good on you for being organised.

On my feel so unorganised compared to everyone else especially as I have just checked the list and we are all due the same time!! I have bought some bits for my bag but still need to pack it , (I'm 33+2) I have about 6 packs of nappies and about 7packs of wipes!!
A friend told me that the size 1 nappies from aldi are really good and don't leak, I'm pretty sure she said the were under £2 a pack too so may pop down at the weekend and get a couple of packs.

Mine are in the built-in cupboard/wardrobe in the guest room. Just need to add the extra 8 packs of size 1 nappies and wipes in there that I bought today and update my list.

Anyone can share hot to get the best deals with Pampers nappies/wipes? So far I have mainly Huggies, a pack of Pampers and 3 packs of Naturecare.

Not got any pampers yet - i bought lots of the little angels asda ones when they were reduced to £1 in the summer, great bargain. Saved me a fortune. Rest are huggies.

So does that make them about the sane price as asda little angels nappies? (not sure how much they cost as I bought mine when they were £1)
Might aswell stick to asda if they are about the sane price as it is closer to me!!
My god my pelvis is killing me today, after doing the school run this afternoon I could cry!! it's not so much my hips but the part the baby comes through if you know what I mean!! This baby better have a pea head or I think I'm in trouble!! :eek:
I'll speak to my midwife Thursday and see what she suggests.

Does anyone get the feeling baby us going to burst their waters when the move around?! I swear mine is practicing for the Olympics in there sometimes and it takes my breath away.
