I think it's boys are slower girls are quicker.

Well, maybe - one of ours is a bit slower, one a bit faster, and the sonographer tried to guess that one is a boy and one is a girl. The heartbeats also sound very different.

Does anyone know of any promotion codes/discounts with Mamas&Papas? I would love to get a matching moses basket to the one we got for the second twin, it is reduced to £49, but would like to save some more, not sure OH will be happy with me buying it for 5 times the price of the first one!

Mamas and papas - request the catalogue through the post and get a £5 voucher to spend instore or online - must be used in 30days... only one can be accepted with a purchase though but might be worth ordering a couple if your planning on shopping in M&P quite a bit?? (have to use different emails obviously but you and hub and family could request catalogues for you)

We are also team yellow which I do love but well it would be nice sometimes to buy a little dress or dungarees I guess that can wait really.

i wondered that the other day and googled it and was then gutted as ours was 140bpm on the dot!! (26+5). Was 130bpm at 22 weeks. Baby clearly doesn't want me to cheat!!

Gin, really hope your day improves, I cant believe no one moved for you!? You need to take my Mum with you, she would have given them a piece of her mind. We went to the local NewLook at the weekend and their maternity wear is upstairs (2 long flights) so she had a word with the poor sales assistant to say how rediculous it was, especially as you then have to walk back down with any clothes you want to try on. I wanted the floor to swallow me up lol!

Your mum sounds great - can she come on the train with me when I am going home?... I am dreading going to office now, as I think the only reason I was still upright at the end off that journey is that I was very upset, and felt the blood rushing to my head, otherwise I would have ended up on the floor.

OH called earlier to find out how the appointment went and I just couldn't stop crying. I really don't feel like working today. I may seriously consider starting maternity leave earlier.

Oh hun just think of your little babies, that always puts a smile on my face when I feel down. And if that doesn't help I have one of those £5 off things for M&P, I wont use it so you are more than welcome to it if you want? x

Thanks All So from that theory I could have a pink bump as heart rate was 150. We shall see though!

Darkphaery poor you and OH! I hate it when the midwife goes quiet, it always makes me panic too. So glad all was ok for you though. Im not surprised bubba's heart rate was up if she caught a nerve there! Eek!!

LOL Laura - Go your Mum! My mum would be just the same I think!

Ginvzt big hug to you, sounds like you re not having a nice day at all xxx

Thinking about babies doesn't help! As when I feel like this, I think about them and worry that i am hurting them, and it makes me feel even worse!

It will get better. It has to!

Hi All,

wondering if I can join in? I'm pregnant with my second baby, due on the 5th of June, so was 22 weeks on Tuesday.

Having a bit of a bad time with this pregnancy although the midwives don't seem to be that bothered. I've had three colds, three or four migraines resulting in being sick with the trots and now I've got just the trots on it's own but now had it since Monday! Don't get to see the midwife for another three weeks and feel totally fed up. It couldn't be any more different to my last pregnancy were I felt absolutely fabulous apart from morning sickness for a few months and then tiredness towards the end.

I'm now thinking about when to go on maternity leave and it's a hard decision to make, feeling the way I do now i'd go off tomorrow if I could!

Hello, just checking I'm still on this list! Haven't really got time to read, too busy reading up on EC and other interesting things that I didn't have time to research last time. Ginvzt, noticed you are having travel difficulties, did you know you can get a free 'baby on board' badge? Just email this address and ask for one: [EMAIL="babyonboard@tfl.gov.uk"]babyonboard@tfl.gov.uk[/EMAIL]. Hope everyone else OK.
