12-24 weeks pregnant (part2)

Ah that silver cross is lovely! I don't think many people would have space for that!!
I've spent the morning trying to decide what car to order (my company car needs swapping in the new year). OH wants me to get an estate, but I'm thinking a mid sized mpv might be better. Just can't see myself driving something massive like a mondeo estate!!

So many choices to pick from! I know I'm v lucky that I get to order before I go on mat leave, my boss looked a little put out when I got my order form! She doesn't "agree" with the amount of time we're allowed off on mat leave! Luckily the boss above her is great and understanding.

We're staying team yellow, so only getting a couple of vest/baby grows in neutrals in a few diff sizes to start with.

Trainer hope you start to feel better soon, I know ibuprofen isn't recommended but there must be something else you can take?
Are you eating properly/getting enough sleep? That might help ease your headaches.

I am 23 weeks pregnant and keep on getting constant headaches.

I went to my GP on Thrusday and he just said to be patient but I dont know if their is anythign else I can do to ease the pain.

Sorry to hear this trainer. The below link has some great advice about different triggers and different things that can help. I always try to make sure I'm hydrated if I get a headache, and if it's bad I'll take paracetamol and ask hubbie for a shoulder rub to relieve muscle tension.

I've just spoken to an estate agent and put an offer in on a house we saw yesterday. :eek: It's so scary actually doing it and trying to buy. I don't think the agent was impressed with the amount as it's 5.5% below the asking price, but I've told them there's no way I'm paying the asking price based on sold prices in the street and the fact it's a terrace with a school playground at the bottom of the garden. Hopefully we'll agree something in between as it's lovely. It's in such good condition with a lovely kitchen extension, downstairs wc, lounge/diner and three good bedrooms that we could just move in and do nothing. Great when we've only 18 weeks until baby arrives.

Got my fingers crossed for you kynthia! I know how stressful buying/moving can be, hope it all goes smoothly for you. X

We have a Vauxhall Meriva, previously had a fiat punto but had to upsize when we got the dog last year, had no plans for babies (oopsies) but it's worked out well as car has plenty room. I did look at estates but i'm bad at parking as it is :rotfl:

Trainer, I'm almost 18 weeks and I've been getting headaches for the last few weeks. I mentioned it to my midwife on Friday and she said it could be eyesight related as your eyes can change during pregnancy. Had an eye test yesterday and I've ordered new glasses so hoping that helps as the only way I can get rid of the headaches at the moment is by sleeping which isn't too practical at work!

We've almost finished decorating the nursery!!! Yay!

Just stopped for cheese on toast and off back to it in a few mins. Just the gloss left to do.

It's just plain white, as we're team yellow, but I have lots of colourful accessories to go in...

Curtains, pictures, storage boxes etc. Exciting!!!

you would likely get used to it in no time but it was too daunting for me, my meriva is longer than the punto but it's higher and I actually find it easier to park as I have a better view when reversing... I do love the size of a lot of estate cars though but I really like my Meriva so sticking with that until it dies basically..!!
