    Marta, I watched it on 4oD. There are 3 series plus the Christmas edition.

    Your lists has everything. I think. I bought so many things now that I think I will not need to shop until baby is here :D.

    We ordered all the nursery furniture plus the moses basket. We ordered the pram (iCandy), we bought the steriliser, bottles and bottle warmer (all Tommee Tipple), a breast pump (Medela pump) room and bath thermometer ( Avent), car seat plus iso fix base, bath spongemat thingy, 2 sets of cot bumpers,quilt and sheets (Toy'u'rs), nappies (loads), wipes, cotton pads, breast pads, breast cream, maternity towels, creams and shower gel for the baby, changing bag, muslins, nappy cream, lots of clothes, bibs and shoes... Not sure if I missed anything else.

    I will need to buy a hospital bag as I don't have a one and other bits and pieces for the hospital

    started packing my hospital bag today so feel quite good. think i may get a few bigger vests i case i cant fit into the ones i have got lol. eek. imagine that!feel a bit better that can start ticking off my list now. my mum kindly got us the cot bed and furniture from mothercare so its allll hapening. :)

    aida. i am now. i am quite short and when i put on weight i look bad. lol. the weight has crept up and i am now in the 80's (kilograms i mean lol). so i am hoping the midwife appointment goes well. :)

    Well done for starting packing your bag. I still need to buy the actual bag and few bits and pieces.

    I'm now 72 kg Rups so don't worry. Try to eat healthy when possible :rotfl:and don't forget to walk as much as possible.

    I'd say it's a requisite. Bio can be a bit harsh for babies.

    I didn't know that they give you a steriod injection if you have a c-section early than your due date. Plus I wasn't aware that they can't give you a epidural if your really fat :eek:.

    They can give you an epidural if your 'really fat' it's just harder to get in as they need to be able to feel the spine and if there's a lot of extra tissue in the way that can be awkward.

    The steroid injection if you labour early is normal whether your fat, thin or inbetween as it's to mature the babies lungs as if they come early their lungs are less mature than at term.

    oh no aida. really? i think i am fat now..sob sob..

    Your a size 12-14 that's not fat don't be silly. The ladies on the OBEM special were morbidly obese one of them had a BMI in the top 50's. There's still plenty of pain relief available including epidural etc.
