I felt rubbish yesterday. Left work early and was in bed at 8pm. Have so much to get done, I'm hoping I'm more productive at work today.

 

[BabyWomble]

Aawww congratulations Lyndsey! Mine is on Monday, can’t wait to find out. My midwife said she thinks her ladies that find out find it easier to bond with their babies so that made me feel better about my impatience at knowing

 

[CornishGirl]

Yay team boy! �� I’ll add it to the front page.

I have been having a relapse of sickness and tiredness i feel your pain!

 

[RWW84]

Also had relapse of sickness and tiredness. Sprinted to loo for a spew last night - came from nowhere. Urgh!

Congrats Lyndsey on your wee baby boy - what lovely news. I have aaaaggeesss to wait to find out, I'm not finding out until the 20 week scan. So 1st of June.....I'm so impatient, I want to get a private scan but OH has vetoed it on basis that we can't afford it and I should learn to be more patient haha. Anyone else finding out at their 20 week scan? xx

Congrats on your boy Lyndsey!

OH caved and agreed to book a gender scan, so we’re going on Sunday. I can’t wait

 

[MrsBunny]

RWW, we're also planning on waiting for the 20 week scan too. Trying to save cashola as I know other stuff will be expensive. We've provisionally booked an NCT course in Sept, so telling myself the money I've saved on scan has gone to that.

 

[MrsBunny]

Felt a wee bit better today. Lot of indigestion, but id rather that than nausea.

Hope the rest of you lovelies have been doing okay

xx

I’m the same Netty due to the nub group I’m in. I was like oh, ok! but now I’ve got my head around it. I just really thought I was carrying a girl; girls are always first in my side of the family, however in my OH side there is a pattern of boy, girl and they all say this should be a boy. So glad I’m getting it confirmed!

Agreed, costs definitely mount up! I am also thinking of doing the NCT course as one of my friends said it was really good for meeting other mums, and I have also had hypnobirthing classes recommended to me. I'm currently seeing a pregnancy chiropractor as have historically had issues with my hips and posture, so want to try and do everything possible to prevent pelvic girdle pain, and potentially help me be better prepared for birth. Luckily I pay into a health scheme which covers some of the cost of the chiro, but it's still something to factor in every few weeks. Waargh! How much did you pay for the NCT classes, if you don't mind me asking? I have looked on the website but can't seem to find anything about fees. I am anticipating it will be a few hundred :/

I was having a mooch around the shops this morning, and saw so many nice baby stuff, but the prices made my eyes water. Especially changing bags. Eeek. OHs brother kindly said that they were planning on selling / donating a lot of their kids stuff soon anyhow, and has given us first dibs on things, so that should be a massive help.

I've heard mixed reviews of nct, mainly for the content being all available elsewhere. But lots of people say its worth it for meeting other new parents. We live really far away from all family, and not many of our friends live that local, or have kids. So, we're keen to make new friends nearby.

I've heard costs vary by region, we're in London, so I guess we're in the higher end. Ours is £360. That's the course that runs on two full Saturdays, plus a couple of shorter bits for women only and on breastfeeding.

I've also heard good things about hypnobirthing, so I'm thinking about that too.

Thanks, really helpful. I'm in Sheffield so it's probably a wee bit cheaper, but not much. I'd been preparing myself for it being around the £300 mark, so good to see I wasn't too far off it. We are also without family close by. A lot of my friends do have babies and kids, but none will be having newborns at the same time as me so I think it's important to try and meet new people who are going through things at the same time, like you say.

Agreed new baby stuff is so pricey! I've been trawling ebay for baby clothes, basically brands I couldn't afford new but there are secondhand ones for only a few pounds. John Lewis sale is also good. But my buying so far has been a bit random and haphazard to say the least, haha! Good you are getting some bits for free, a couple of friends say they have things like costs, moses baskets etc we can have, which is great. I need to sort out the room that will eventually be the nursery but currently is nicknamed The Room of Doom as it piled with junk and the cat has taken it over as one giant nest once we've done that, we can start to think about getting some bigger bits xxx
