    I was thinking of getting one that stays in the car, rather than one that goes about town. We'd need one for long journeys but short journeys would be pub transport.

    I think you'd still need one to carry baby from the hospital ward to the car, we left our car seat in the car when we brought DS2 home and we had to go and bring it to the ward we weren't allowed to carry him out to the car, maybe you can just borrow one just to get baby home then get one that stays in the car.

    Congrats MrsJ hope you and holly are doing well :) xxx

    Congratulations mrsj! Lovely news and Holly is a gorgeous name.

    I noticed some chatting a couple of days ago about bikini waxing- I normally have a Hollywood but not had one for a while now. Anyone continued to have brazillian/Hollywood during pregnancy??

    I would have had a Brazilian if the lady had offered it, when I rang for one she said she only did "high bikini"... So I had that as she was very cheap (£35 for a full leg, lip and bikini). I usually pay £29 just for a Brazillian!

    She said there was no reason I couldn't have had a brazillian unless it was aggrevating my hip by splaying my legs. Which it doesn't seem to have done (minor Miricle there!).

    You apparently can't have a bikini wax under 12wks but apart from that you're fine.

    Oh and I swear it didn't hurt - probably because I'm mentally prepping for child birth, having my hair torn from its roots is easy by comparison.

    I've just had my dry toast, two kiwis and 500ml of milk, now to wait two hours for my blood test and midwife appointment. I intend to do my teeth so I hope there's no extra carbs in toothpaste!

    I did, was bloomin sore but deffo worth it. Not allowed in the first trimester but fine after that, booked in for another before DD.

    In the hospital just now for my glucose tolerance test - 400ml of lucozade in 5 minutes just isn't possible, disgusting stuff. At least they've given me a comfy chair before they fail to take blood again, 3 attempts this morning leaving both my hands and arm sore. If it's as bad next time I'll be phoning into work and going home to relax!

    Snap!

    How come you get lucozade... I LOVEthat stuff!

    I love how you're a fellow delinquent, I was given a telling off for not having the test in my 28th week..... Ooooops.
