I'm using the carrycot off my Mamas and Papas pram for the baby to sleep in initially. I've ordered a new mattress for it - it was my sisters pram for her two but thought I should get a new mattress. We ordered the wrong one the first time - assumed it was same size as a Moses basket but...

Just read your post, and thought 'How am I going to handle it????' My parents live a 2 hour journey away and although this is grandchild no 5 for them, I know they will be keen to see the baby (it's my first). They more often than not stay with us when they come up as we have a spare room...

I think we all feel like that - well I certainly do. I squished between two parked cars at about 15 weeks pregnant and was sure I had harmed the baby. I didn't have a hot bath until 16 weeks when MW said it was OK as I thought I'd warm the baby too much (she laughed at me and just told me to...

Hi Flopsy Just caught this thread and thought I would reply quickly. I panicked a few weeks back as I had slightly runny eggs but on checking the internet I think Salmonella will just make you feel really ill/sick - everything I read said there is no risk to the baby you just don't want to be...

I have had a lot of discomfort but bought some pregnancy bras from Mothercare in the sale yesterday - so comfy! No underwire, it's a-mazing. My sister said she didn't want to swap back afterwards :lol:

Hiya Thought I'd better reply and even things out for Team Pink! :-) Have not been on the forum for a while but finally have a chance to catch up. Had our 20w scan on 6th of December and were told it's a girl (well 80% - they won't commit to 100%!) We were happy either way - I was just...

Hi Jodie Sorry I've been AWOL for a while - life has got busy :-) I had my scan on Saturday (09/10/10) and saw the baby. I was 11 + 5 going on the measurements so baby is now due April 25th :-) So, today I am 12 + 3 :-) What do I move over to Tri-2 - is it 13 weeks? Hope everyone else...

I'm just about to cancel my WW membership. Will be glad to talk to the MW about this in a fortnight. I have lost 3st on WW (although put on 7lb recently :-() Am keen to make sure I don't balloon unnecessarily but need to make sure the little one gets what it needs :-)

Sorry for the delay - parents finally got back last night at 9. Got them on the Playstation Camera under the pretence that we had bought a new TV! Laid the positive test in front of the camera so it's the only thing they could see. Took Dad about thirty seconds to go 'ahhhh!'. Meanwhile, Mum...

I'm sure it will fly by and I think I'm only five weeks (since last period) so three weeks actually so another three won't hurt! I just want to rush the whole thing through. Currently trying to tell my parents. Have positive preg test ready on Playstation Eye Camera so I can show...

Hi Guys I'm 30 and live in Berks with my Hubby. Been married for almost five years. Have had a great time being married - we didn't live together before we got married so we've really made the most of the last five years :-) We've only recently started talking about kids. We both knew we...

Had 1st appt with the doc today. Very brief but pleasant. Lots of congratulations etc. He asked me to book an appt with the midwife to get an early scan to check dates so I went to the front desk - the next appt available is the 21st of September - three weeks away. Argh! Asked if it's...

Hi Everyone, I got a BFP on Sunday (22nd Aug) and I think due date is 5th of May - although slightly confused / concerned as had lots of preg symptoms four weeks before BFP but test was neg and had a 'very short' period in between so totally confused about due date?!. I am like a lot of others...

Thank you :-) It's so bizarre, we only decided to try very recently and didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Just really feel strange - I'm sure 2 HPT can't be wrong I guess I'm just in shock. Tried to get docs appt asap but can only get in next Tues as want to take Hubby with me. Not sure...

I am only very recently preg and have decided to keep it quiet at least until I've been to the docs next week, any prob 12 weeks. Hubby has almost let it slip to his Mum already!!! Boys!!! Would be v keen to speak to my sisters about how I feel but want to tell the whole family at the same...
