Doh, if only I'd known that - just bought a new bottle yesterday! Doh! Ah well, hopefully baby will pop out before I need to buy another bottle. I only had pasta and a tomato sauce for tea last night, so no spice. Boo.

I'll try the milk though defo - that's something I've not tried yet.

Aw no, how annoying! Oh well, at least you've got some. Hope it helps. I do find though that sometimes just nothing seems to work, although I don't know why. Like I can see that tomato soup for my tea was a mistake, but today all I've had is coco pops and 2 rich tea biscuits and I'm still suffering. Might have to go and see if I've any more rennies tablets - so much less rank than the gaviscon ones.

Dizsie, I know what you mean about buying second hand has to be worthwhile. That was what swayed the decision in the end. Just still feel a bit bad in general about money and thinking probably shouldn't have spent as much. Never mind.

Medela swing breast pump is £90 at tesco, also in club voucher exchange, so think you will get it for half that price. Pity I have already brought mine

Laura

Laura, I've just checked the stock and it's 'currently unavailable'. Not sure if it was in stock when you found it but I've been checking stock for this pump at least twice a day for over 2 weeks now and it's not been in stock... I'm not even sure why it's still on the website because it doesn't look like they sell it if it's not been in stock for over 2 weeks!

I've not been posting for a few days as not had access to comp, just following on my phone as posting is a pain.

Congrats to all who have given birth recently. RJ - I'm so impressed! Honestly! You're a real trooper!!

Welcome to all the newbies :wave:

Not much going on this end. Still experiencing pelvic pain fairly regularly and now hip pain at night as well. But thanks to all you lovely ladies' tips, I got some extra pillows to help me sleep which is really helpful.

Pregnancy is definitely starting to take its toll to the point where I can't be bothered with studying though . I'm hoping this is only for a few days as I've been pretty busy lately.

I've got my baby shower a week on Saturday and I'm really looking forward to it:j

Congrats to RJH :j

Welcome to all the new ladies

Dizsie, you've got some great bargains! Ive started writing a list of things I bought, what I paid for them and how much they should have been if I had paid full price. Im gobsmacked....... Only written down 8 things so far and they should have been £545.16 and I actually paid £92.76 :money:. Im so impressed with myself!!!

weight - I have put on 1stone 9pounds since my booking in appointment :eek:. Though, I did lose some weight with morning sickness so Im actually only 11pounds heavier than I was before I got pregnant. Everyone keeps telling me how slim I look though, cos my face and shoulders are so much slimmer. My cousin was in stitches last night cos she said I have a lovely waist from behind, til I turn around and my huge bump jumps out at you :rotfl:

Anyone heard how kitten is?

28wk scan yesterday - all was perfect. Babies are doing well, both head down. They weigh 2.8lb and 3.1lb already :T

Thanks honey, I have icky Gaviscon liquid by my bed now - I find it much better than the tablets that just stick to my teeth and drive me mad!!

I can't sit up in bed properly, it hurts my bump (must be the rubbish mattress). And yeah, water is giving me heartburn at the minute - but only during the night, I don't get it during the day - even if I lie down for a mid day sleep.

the doctor prescribed me gastrocoat, Its ment for heartburn etc during pregnancy, but it was cheaper to buy OTC as i havnt sorted my free scripts out yet. Doesnt taste great but it does work very well.

twinklie

So much for not getting it in the day, I have it now. Boo.

I've been the most productive I've been in days today. Wash done and hung out. Recycling done. Three lots of washing folded and put away and another wash on. I'm pooped. Can't wash up though because it hurts my back for one. Secondly, the boiler started making a weird whistling noise last night do we turned it off cos we thought it was going to explode!!

Rups32

sigh.. was looking forward to booking a pregnancy massage in croydon after i had had my 20 week scan. i rang them up. they are so expensive. i had to say no. i was sooooo looking forward to it.

Sa-ra-ra-ra

Oh no twinklie, poor you I was feeling quite pleased because I wasn't feeling too bad last week, and now it feels like my hips have given up and water is giving me heartburn. Nothing normal, like spicy food or acid or anything like that. Water. Ugh.
