12-24 weeks pregnant (part 4)

Munchkin84

I have turned into a pram stalker. Keep looking at peoples prams to see what I like. But I did get an email from bounty telling me the one we like from Mothercare is almost £400 cheaper online this week so think it will be that one.
Currently struggling with maternity jeans. Can’t find any I like

Munchkin, We've bought a Nuna Mixx from mothercare - its light, has great wheels and is easy to fold. Obviously we've not used it yet other than to assemble it an check all the parts are there but seems great so far.

And with regards to maternity jeans I haven't found any I like either so am in either leggings or cotton/linen trousers with elasticated waistbands. I've managed to get a few pairs from Debenham's in the sale from the various outlets. Let us know if you do manage to find any good maternity jeans!

That’s the pram we want

I live in jeans when I’m not at work. (Got a really stretchy maternity skirt so all is good when I’m there)
I’m not really a dress person but I might have to be if I can’t find any jeans.

Debenhams red herring ones worked well for me, under bump ones. Not personally a brand I ever went for pre-pregnancy. Trying to get hold of some now before I pop!

Anyone know any good hypnobirthing books,?
I bought one but i don’t like it.
I’d like to learn more about it but the book I have keeps taking about God (which isn’t my thing). I want an instruction manual type thing if it even exists.

I don't, but can you let me know if you do find one? and also the one that you do have so I know to avoid it! OH isn't 100% sold on hypnobirthing yet, although I've said I want to try. He's ok with the idea of an epidural, and my MW has already said that I might need one earlier than other people. I'm not against intervention, but I think anything that will help me manage the pain myself is a good thing in my book! I think we said we would look at youtube videos and a book before signing up to the local course as that's £250.

My midwife said about the course but i want to read up on it first.
I got a book off eBay by Marie Mongan but like I said it’s not right for me.
I’ll keep looking.
Baby has been kicking a lot more. Woke up in ge middle of the night and stretched and felt a huge pain so then spent a while talking to baby and wiggling so I could feel it move.
Feel awful today. Really hot and dizzy. Now leaving Work early. Straight to bed I think.

Thank you. I’ll give it a look
