That actually looks quite good! Hoping LO was just a one off for not liking warm milk ha so will be warming bottles for this baby...(Attempting to breastfeed but that will only be for the short term if I succeed at all)...

Watched a youtube review & it seems really handy.. Forgotten what it's like when baby's are hungry & you can't move quickly enough!
Thanks for the heads up.. Will talk to OH about it xxx

Capricorn we seem so alike. I just about managed 5 days feeding dd but was in so much pain and bleeding and milk wasn't really coming. Really beat myself up about moving to bottle and midwives didnt help. Will give it a shot this time but really won't beat myself up this time if it doesn't happen. Dd has turned out fine on formula. Opps am I allowed to say that?!?

I think we have a lot in Common by the sounds of it, including a due date obvs..
A lot of midwives are very pro-breast (for obvious reasons) but if it doesn't work out, you have no option! I really have no clue how it will work with implants.. My milk came in last time & i leaked in the bath for ages but I don't know if my very sensitive nipples can take the suckling of a little one haha..my LO turned out fine too! Yay..

I've been sat here for the last half hour stuck between white or cream sheets for my LO & new baby.. I had cream last time but should I opt for white.. Cream just seems warmer..
On kiddicare buying LO a new junior bed (he still has ample room in cotbed so not getting him a single one yet) & he needs a new mattress..got it for just over £110 which I think is reasonable

About to watch KUWTK on E! Night ladies xx

We went to Kiddicare today - my first experience in the actual store!! Have you bought the bed yet??

 

[Capricorn]

I don't think there is a store near me.. Not yet..just waiting to decide on a few things first xx

So glad you said that, wanted to warn you that their toddler beds did not look very substantial in the flesh. We're going to get dd a full single as shes almost outgrown her toddler size one. Just our oppinion though. Xx

 

[SarahCourtney]

Is anyone else who is pregnant for the first time worried by their lack of belly growth? I have a small bump that usually looks like I've just eaten too much and it's not grown in two weeks. Is that normal at this stage? I thought by the time a bump appeared, it would slowly and steadily grow each week?

 

[Daley]

Don't worry about it with my first I didn't look pregnant until about 6/7 months and only went up one dress size! Everyone told me I would have a small baby as I was just bump and nothing else, dd was born 8lbs 8oz.

Your bump will grow xxx

 

[SarahCourtney]

Thanks Daley. As I said, just the worry that it hasn't grown for a few weeks, I was expecting to slowly keep growing once I'd popped! X

I can feel baby...
Been feeling 'spasms' all week but this morning they've been nonstop for over half an hour..
With my first I felt him at 16 weeks so I'm a little earlier this time..I never felt flutters last time, it's was teeny jabs like this..
Well chuffed xxx

Aww I'm so excited for you! I've had tiny flutterings that feel like wind every few days for a couple of weeks but nothing really defined. I can't wait to just 'know' that I've felt baby and not gas haha

 

[Capricorn]

Thanks Sarah..
I had a feel of where my uterus is now and it's just level with belly button..
Just a tip i learnt from other pregnant ladies: walk two fingers down your belly starting at your under your boobs, when the texture changes your uterus begins..

Hoping you feel baby wriggle for you soon xx

 

[Daley]

Yeay Capricorn! It's amazing isn't it. Xxx

 

[Capricorn]

Yeah! I don't want to get up incase I don't feel it again for ages haha xxx

I don't have a bump at all yet! Just more bloated when I eat!

Girls I have my first cravings ... Nice and spicy niknaks and icelollys!x

 

[Capricorn]

Those cravings sound awesome hehe xxx

That can't be right cos mine seems to change just under my ribs lol or at least a good few inches above my belly button! Gah! Why can't I be normal? Haha

I think I've felt flutters today!! Husband woke me up in the night because he wasn't feeling well (love him dearly but not a lot I can do!) and I couldn't get back to sleep, thought I felt something then but might have just been in that semi conscientious dream state!! However twice today I have felt a flutter, really low down. Come on little one, keep it up!!
