For those who have got/are getting the bugaboo cameleon, do you know if the maxi cosi pebble plus fits it or not or if it is only the pebble that works with the adapters. I really like this one (probably get one second hand), and just need to know which car seat to get with it.

Doesn't mention pebble plus on the website just pebble. There are 2 types of adapter for the car seat, one fits maxi-cosi and a couple of other brands and one fits britax, so make sure you buy the right ones.

Ditto. Feel like I need to blow constantly but when I do it's just air

Also ditto, and it is even worse a night and makes it so hard to sleep. It seems to block randomly when i want to sleep.

I have been using a tiny amount of sinex when it gets really bad, as MW said this was fine.

(just jumping ahead a little) re SPD, I had it last pregnancy and saw an osteopath who specialises in pregnancy complaints. I saw him three times and it made such a huge difference! I was like a new woman.

I might look into that, thanks!

Morning!

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Its my Birthday! :bdaycake: Have some virtual cake!

On the blocked nose front, I did some reading over the weekend and eventually bought a humidifier from Argos. It has been a godsend. I have it running all night long on medium and because its quiet, it doesn't disturb my sleep. It has really helped keep my nose clear and stops that really dry mouth feeling every few hours too. The only downside is the luminous blue light, but I can cover this up so not a problem. I think it cost £30, but worth it. I also bought a cheap pillow pack (V shape and a wedge) which is helping the backache that has started to creep in the last week or so.

Had a massive clear out of our dumping room on Saturday and I can actually see floor and walls now. It is the box room which has that lump over the stair case bulkhead. Has anyone got this and built over it? We just have a box at the moment but would love to use this space better and maybe build a cupboard or wardrobe over this space. Not sure who to get in to have a look. A carpenter, or a wardrobe company?

Starting to look forward to the next scan now so I can start buying things.

Devil dolly, in my old house there was a cupboard built over that bit acted as a wardrobe. My friend has built a bed frame over his for one of the kids which also works well.

And Happy Birthday!

I've arrived mega early for my cardiology appointment, awaiting an echo cardiogram. Waiting is really boring in hospitals!

Happy birthday devil! You could prob make a cupboard with space, a joiner or carpenter should have some good ideas. Our spare room was the same, i never thought we would empty it! Now the other room needs emptied! Ds is almost ready for toddler bed so we are aiming to redecorate soon. No blocked noses for me yet, I did have it with ds later on. Im 14weeks today and 2weeks until mw appt. Im in work feeling pants. Had a stonking headache earlier and feel sick and tired.

Happy birthday for yesterday devildolly!

The humidifier sounds great. Will look into them. The blocked nose at night when I lie down is driving me crazy. I am waking at 3am unable to breathe then cannot get back to sleep.

Staying with my parents at the moment which is heaven! Vegetating in bed whilst DS jumps on my parents bed, and my dad is cooking me some fabulous meals. Also walked miles yesterday, and although it was tiring, I feel great!

It has also started to dawn on me that I am going to be the size of a cow! (Wasn't that a 1990s by the wonder stuff???)
