Oh and happy mine are all stored in the bottom of my wardrobe and under my bed!!!

Dizzi, our car is seriously filthy inside with 3 kids and winter, the interior has seen better days its also a Motability car so is technically only on loan and has to go back as we have had it for the 3 yrs! Oh, it does have a dent in the back ( did that just 3 weeks after taking delivery of a brand new car, DH was NOT impressed!) But I`m just embarressed about giving a dirty car back! Its never been this bad, but with being heavily pregnant, and there being a grass hill between our front door and the car, we`ve not had a nice enough day for me to get out there for a while!!! Oh well, its clean enough, not amazing but will have to do! x ( and dont count on the " it being a state so no one will nick it" theory, my old E plate fiesta with more rust than miles on the clock still got stolen a few yrs ago!!!) xx

Oh I couldn't store anything under my bed. It gets swept out every day so that would just be a no go. Might see if there is room in callums wardrobe...won't have to see them then!

I have a divan with 4 drawers also have a big white ottoman (was on Very catalogue on here a while back, £90 down to £30 i think i paid for it! ) next to my bed storing the size 3s!! Have u not got an under the stairs cupboard or anything? x

No I have no storage at all except the loft and I'm not sure I'd even fit through the hatch at the minute. And if I did it's whether the joists would cave in when I got up there.
It's one of the main things that annoys me about my house but I think moving to fit in a few nappies could be a little over the top. Maybe I could get some storage boxes or something.

I know you said you wouldn't want anything under the bed but have you seen those flat storage boxes on wheels you can get? They fit under the bed and you can pull them out easily to clean under there

ETA something like this

Emsbet - I am liking that. Ive never seem them before but they would make it a lot easier to pull them out.
Thanks xx

Hi Sally,

I'm in exactly the same position, I am veering toward the planned c-section this time but I have to go back and see consultant at 36 weeks to let her know what I have decided. There were a number of issues with DS, he was breech two weeks before and they turned him round manually, he weighed 9.6 when born and went two weeks over and was induced I think I am just a bit scared about it all happening again

Hi Jovi - that's how I feel, although different circumstances. DD was back to back and was never going to come out naturally they said when I had the section. My waters broke at 38+1 so at least I didn't have the discomfort of going over. My MW seems convinced that as this is my 2nd I won't be able to put my feet up at all and this one won't get the chance to be back to back - she has no idea how good I am at finding ways to make sure my feet are up, especially in the evening :rotfl:

It sounds like I'll need to make a decision at 30 weeks. So tough! Do you know what position your baby is in at the moment, is he another breech?

Why does ur midwife think ur baby wont have chance to be back to back?!! All three of mine were and all came out facing up too! I didnt chance to put my feet up when preg with DD3 either! This lump has been back to back at every midwife app since 28 weeks too! And with 3 kids to run around behind i`m hardly sat on my bum all day lol!!!
A good friend of mine had a vbac, she had forceps, but even after all of that said she was so glad she hadnt had to have another csection. xx

Wow I am so stuffed full of curry! Had a major curry craving earlier so got an indian takeaway, was delicious
Think I may come to regret it though, as bubs is now kicking like the karate kid, and the curry was quite oniony so I expect I'll get heartburn... woo! :rotfl:

DH is such a sweetheart, he's booked me a surprise (except he told me, LOL!) manicure tomorrow morning! Bless him. Only thing is, my nails are embarrassing at the moment, I've been chewing them really badly.

It's so funny, LO is wriggling around so much! I love it though, I think I'm really gonna miss my bump when it's gone! Am seriously shattered today though, I'm finding I'm so tired by the time friday comes, these days.

RE nappies, we are planning to mostly use washables. However, we'll probably use disposables for the first few weeks, while we get in the swing of things, and also when we're out and about. We've got about 7 packs of size 1s so far, all either free or very cheap using vouchers. Got about 8 packs of wipes too, again mostly free/v cheap. Not sure whether to get many more Size 1s, but they're the only ones you usually get the vouchers for, i think? Did I read somewhere that people had success in swapping packs for bigger sizes in the supermarkets? If so, do you need receipts or do they just do a straight swap?

I had some really useful responses to my pram thread (thanks to those of you who responded!) We're planning to go to Toys R Us tomorrow to look at a few more models - although DH couldn't start the car this evening so we might have to change our plans...

I hope everyone's ok...hurry up to those babies who should be on their way soon!

Her theory is that I'll be bending over a lot and chasing after my 3 year old constantly through this pregnancy. She's convinced I think that back to back is due to inactivity (which, to be fair, could certainly be true in my case!)

I think I am leaning towards a vbac but I know I'm being really pessimistic at the moment which won't necessarily help things go smoothly! Plus, according to the leaflet I was given yesterday, not only does the baby have to be constantly monitored which I don't mind, but apparently I have to be hooked up to a drip the whole time too, 'just in case' so feels like I'm getting punished for having an emergency section last time whichever way I go!

I know I'm just feeling sorry for myself and things could be a lot worse though
