Monty my motto is any bargain that can be used later n u can store buy it.

When my little boy was 3mths old I brought a toy kitchen for£7.50 off Amazon and kept it for his 2nd birthday was a cheapy plastic Winnie pooh one and now lives in his playhouse outside. Great buy.

I often buy him things in Jan sales for Aug bday n Xmas n just keep

Amazon is great with lots nieces n nephews stuff always arriving throughput the yr ready for Xmas as been a deal!!

I am doing what tcod said and putting it in the nursery, when baby old enough it'll be in the playroom.
I'm on a very tight budget at the min and having to justify every purchase! We've only one wage coming in so until my mat allowance starts I've hardly any money.
Ah well it's beautiful and I don't need much else this week

Gorgeous rocking horse! I'd do the same, buy it and admire it till the baby is old enough to use it.

Found out yesterday that my friend who is expecting identical twins is having boys! I'm so excited to be having nephews I have two "real" nephews but they live very far away so I never see them (one at the other side of the world, one about 300 miles away) so now I will have nephews on my doorstep

That rocking horse is gorgeous Monty. Great buy.

I took everyone's advice and went to see the doc about my cough. Turns out it's not a chest infection just yet and not bad enough for anti biotics.

Have been advised to up my inhalers (standard advice for an asthmatic with a cough) and, as for not being able to breathe while lying flat, she thinks it might be a hayfever symptom - eased only by antihistamines which I can't take.

Basically, I have to just put up with it. Never mind, got a bit more sleep last night so feel a little better.

In a brighter note, I'm 18 weeks today. Only 2 weeks until my scan. Woohoo!

Hello all

I've been on holiday to lovely italy the past week& feel like I've been AWOL for ages now. Was a lovely break and now I am still off til mon so plenty of time to recover.

Gutted to hear about wendz. Hope she is doing ok.

As I passed the 24 week mark on holiday I'm going to take the plunge on the next thread (gulp!). Catch up with you all there shortly!

View- you might have an anterior placenta (at front of uterus rather than back). They'll tell you on your 20 week scan or you can ask. If it's anterior it can stop you feeling movements until baby is a bit bigger. my placenta has moved higher up towards the top and baby is bigger so it's really obvious now when the little b*gger decides to kick-especially in the bladder! have put your dates back in.

Thanks for this (good to know that it may be a reason why) and also thanks for putting dates back in. It's ridiculous the amount of worrry you go through having a wee one.. imagine what it was like 50-70 years ago.. we're so lucky, I think, to have what I consider to be good 'round the clock if you need it' medical care and also internet to chat to those in the same boat.

How is everyone feeling today? Just ate a naughty roll with link sausaage... LOVED every bite but back to the fruit now

I'm still not feeling anything. I had bubbles and flutters at 17 weeks. I'm almost 22 weeks now and nothing at all.

Same here and then it stopped... just must be 'one of those things' I guess. Some women's belly's stick out at 3 months and some don't get big and round til much later... horses for courses I'm thinking... good news is that the scan showed everything ok :T:T

oh and love the rocking horse, agree with other ladies it will look really cute in the nursery until the wee one is older.

hi ladies,

been AWOL as I too have been on holiday, a wee in sunny Ibiza! Was really lovely!

Very sad to come back to the news about Wendz, just so so sad.

I read back through all the pages last night, look me 40 mins! We can chat on this thread!!! Can't really remember what was said as there were so many pages!

Re bumps, mine came out about 16-18 weeks and now is growing every single day. I got lots of 'oh wow, look at your bump' when I came into the office today and that was only a week I was away! My BMI was 24 at booking, I do have a definite bump which is starting to look more baby and less like I ate too many pies! My placenta is at the top and the back so I'm getting lots and lots of kicks all the time now. Around 19 weeks it was more sporadic though, a few one day, then nothing for a few days. I'm 21+4 now so very reassuring to get them every day. I am trying to note the pattern, but its just as and when at the mo, so I'm rolling with it!

Had our 20 week scan just before we went away and all looks well. DH nearly died when the sonographer said we were there for our anomaly scan. He looked at me like 'did you know about this, is there something wrong?' Turns out he though the 20 week scan was just so we could see the baby again. :rotfl: Honestly, he works in the NHS, he should know they wouldn't waste money on niceties like that!

Sorry to whoever had the horrible sonographer, I've never been charged for photos, but have seen a donation box by the counter on the way out. Never put anything in though as always forget!

Also, to whoever mentioned about keeping baby stuff in the house, I'm in Scotland and I am not keen on having baby stuff in the house before hand. Maybe its all cause we are all miserable so and so's who expect the worse? My sis is passing all our stuff to my folks who will keep it at their place, and the car seat too when we get it. I am genuinely not that kind of person (superstitious and the like) but I am about this for some reason, don't know why!

Bye bye Peonie, T2D and WTDN, will be with you soon enough on the next thread!

Sorry for the lack of personals, there was over 10 pages to read through!!!

much love ladies, xxx
