Thanks for the input Gilly. We are planning to try some out soon. No I don't drive so when on my own I will be walking or using public transport. DH does drive and we have a car with a big boot so at least space isn't something we need to be too concerned about.

I got my linear freeway from Toys R Us for less than £300. Not sure if they still have them, but worth looking. I'm happy with mine so far, I mostly use it for walking though.

Oh, definitely worth trying some first. I was convinced I wanted a Maxi Cosi one till I tried it in the shop, it felt cheap and wobbly, and I couldn't fold the wretched thing!

Yeah that's good it's so exciting going to look x

Amymo

Pregnancy massage was amazing, thoroughly recommend it, it was an hour of sheer bliss, anyone 36weeks + should totally seek one out, she used clary sage, which you can't use until after 36 weeks as it can have properties known to bring on labour, but the smell was just lovely when blended with jasmine and a few other oils. Didn't realise til I got home some had gotten in my hair so I looked like a scarecrow headed home but at least I smelled good!!

I am soooo looking forwards to getting our pram from my parent's house this weekend! LO still showing no signs of making her way towards the exit but I would like to have it at home to work out how it all fits together etc!

Thanks for the input. We will definitely go have a look at a few. Just looked online and they still have it for £299!

Yeah I'm hoping having a look for stuff will help me feel more excited. Not that I'm not excited but you know what I'm mean

Glad you had a nice time Amymo. I'm going on my mum's hen do at 36 weeks to a spa where we get two treatments so I'm looking forward to a nice massage. Will need it after the 1hr 45 trip down there!

If you join their club you should get some coupons. I wanted to put my order in before mine arrived, so googled for codes and got £10 off.

I love that first pram Emsbet I'd love one but went for a more "practical" pram. Can imagine taking a pram like that for a lovely stroll in the park. Like you said your OH's car has a big boot so it would fit in. It's exciting going and trying them out in the shop. Although I had palpitations for the first few times I went into baby shops!
That massage sounds amazing Amy got a few weeks until 36. I had the one for my birthday and I felt like a new woman after. Bet you can't wait for your spa day Emsbet
Glad you're enjoying having a couple of days off work BB even if you're technically off sick. Did get some teats for Tommee bottles in asda that were on offer and some of the Tommee Tipee breast pads after (I think Gilly) recommended them. I'm gaining quite a selection of these things.
Made a start on the nappy cake, ordered a big cake board off eBay and they said they've dispatched it so I'll begin assembling it once I got the board. Must go back to asda and look for a blue blanket for it.

Thursday night is MIL night. She cooks dinner and we have a good natter. She is probably the sweetest MIL in the world. Should prob get out of my slouchy trousers and look a bit decent.
Hope you all have a good evening.

Omg this bloody laptop is stressing me out! Can't see back to any previous pages, so can't catch up with everyone and just wrote a long post and lost it!! :mad:

And......breathe. Hello ladies

As I said before, I can't read back for some reason, only this page, so I wil just say that I hope everyone is ok and the aches and pains aren't too bad for everyone! My noonie bone is really aching today :eek: sorry, tmi

Well I was sent home from work at 2pm today as I'm still not 100%....shouldn't have gone in really but hate letting people down! My nose kept bleeding too, not gushing, but enough to say it was a nosebleed. About 3 times? Not had any since I've been home, maybe I'm starting to become allergic to work?!!

And my fingertips on my right hand have gone all numb and tingly, checked google (surprised it didnt say my hand was going to fall off) and it could be carpal tunnel syndrome, quite common in pregnancy apparantley. Anyone else had this?

Emsbet, was it your scan today? If so, how did you get on?
Spa day for your mums hen sounds amazing!! My MIL is getting married in August and the hen do will be about 4 weeks after LO is here, eek. Dunno how I'm going to manage that one, I might not even want to leave baby! Its only a meal so will probably go for a couple of hours......will most probably spend the night sobbing! And will look like a huge blob in the wedding pictures, terrific! How selfish of me, its her day.....:p

just a quick one from me,

katie - sounds crazy and very scary the birth happening so quickly. thank you for the warning about movements, the only advice my midwife gave was contact hospital if have less than 10 movements a day, but i think i will contact if movements are less than usual.

Rebekah - sorry to hear you are in pain, bet you are counting down the weeks like me.

sexymouse - must be frustrating having to wait a few more weeks till you get the ok with things buthang in there.

felt pretty good today until i got home sat down and felt incredibly tired, baby moving loads today and movements are feeling a lot stronger.

counting down till my 28 week appt with midwife to get first measurement:)

hope everyone is keeping well and coping,

Laura
