Oh wow that sounds really tough! really hoping you have a better experience this time!
I've been having every problem under the sun so far, had to leave another urine test into the GP today and think I might be getting a UTInot great!
Hope some of you ladies are feeling a bit better today! xx
Ooh not nice but like PB says they're common. I had one at the start and they freaked me out by asking me to come in asap and I was like "oh fuck what is it" Ended up turning into a kidney infection. It antibiotics and it was fine xx

we've got our Silver Cross travel system £10 bargain from eBay. We've been given a cot and just found a baby bath going for free on Facebook so getting that too.
How exciting Laura
I'm getting some things brand new, but I just think not everything has to be expensive. Getting exciting to know we've got such big bits and bobs for the baby and for not very much money that it makes it all so exciting.

I think you're probably feeling similar to me Laura, as in I know that I don't want to be in the tiny 1 bed flat we're in with the baby. Once we are in our home and move to somewhere I can see myself bringing the baby up, I can't get too excited because I would love to get the baby's room sorted and allsorts. I expect you feel the same if not worse than me with that one, having been living at your mums. Hope that's all going okay now x

i'm sure its beautiful and even more so for being £10! that's fantastic!!! haha We don't really have anyone close to us or in the family who have babies or young children so not able to borrow beg or steal off them although we would love to! So far we have the silvercross travel system and car seat, the tommee tippee perfect prep kit which came with bottles and the steriliser kit and now our moses basket feeling much more prepared! been cot shopping but cant make up our minds especially with such limited space- each time we see one we like it doesnt fit!!

Don't forget you need a new mattress for cots/cribs/moses baskets.
We have everything, was so expensive for dd, we got given alot and people bought stuff for us, and gave us money. We all spend loads. It's the car seat that was the most expensive cos we bought one with the seat and the bottom attachment, so haven't gotta use seatbelt all the time also much safer.
seemed best cuz we actually only have a 3 door car and cant really afford to change it. so its going to be bad enough climbing about into the back seats without having to strap a seatbelt in all the time! and in sunny Northern Ireland? haha it'll be raining probably constantly!

That's the one couldnt remember the name! We got out of kiddie care, this was 300 for base, the carseat then we got the older seat to which is aged up to six so saved us a few pounds in the future.

We got a Silver Cross travel system in a sale but not for £10 hahaha
I'd give anything to even be in a 1 bed flat tbh, I know its different for everyone but at least then id have a kitchen and living room and a bathroom to use in peace. We literally live out of one bedroom and there are 6 of us in total with 6 dogs and a cat. You can never get into the bathroom, my mum is always in the house and is really hard to be around as she never stops being negative and moaning and complaining so the living room is kinda out, then my dad grumps and drinks alcohol all night in the kitchen and makes you feel uncomfortable if you try to cook. he also gets angry if you go in the kitchen when hes wanting to be alone so we have taken to keep glasses and drinks in our room and wee snacks so if we are starving we have a back up haha like he fully screams and tantrums at you and its awful..
I bet you are just like me too though in that id love to have an actual nursery space to be able to decorate and fill with cute things and know my baby had its wee safe "base" Dying to have our own place to just feel at ease and know that our baby will be in a happy household even if squished haha xx

Yeah I'm pretty happy with it for £10 and it literally looks never used so even better
Unfortunately because my sister (2nd baby) and brother (3rd baby) are also having a baby and due within weeks of me, I don't have the option of second hand or anything handed down either. Which is a right pain as they both got that with theirs lol. So that's why I'm trying to cheap everything down and then we can focus more money on the important bits.
Yeah I thought things are much harder for you living out of one bedroom but I agree with wanted the baby to have it's own space. I don't feel like the flat is my home at all as OH has lived in it for 10 years and I've tried to put my spin on it but it's not worked at all lol. 10 years worth of living is a lot to try and stamp out!
Have you applied for council housing at all or are you saving to buy? x
