Has anyone started to think about buying things, have been pricing up travel systems but goodness me there are a lot!!

 

[ladybugs90]

So far I have brought 2 x neutral babygrows, tommee tipee bottle steriliser, angelcare mat and monitor (these last 2 items were in the asda sale) and a baby travel mat which was in the sale too. I am super organised so when i find out the gender next week I will start planning the nursery.

 

[Vickilou25]

I've got alot of things from my son the only thing I can really think I need to by is somewhere for baby to sleep lol xx

 

[Allysa151]

I didn't bought anything yet even if I know the gender already. Thinking that I will have time after 20 weeks. Wish I would be as organised as you ladybugs! There are so many stuff, so hard to choose something

I've been looking at one of those next to me cribs or the snuzpod instead of a Moses basket, they're side sleepers and I'm desperate to succeed with breast feeding this time so I think something like that will help with night feeds? Not made any purchases yet although I have made lists, I'm a crazy list lady and make a list for absolutely everything!

 

[ladybugs90]

My friend just gave birth has the chicco, says its amazing. Ill be buying the chicco next to me in the next few months. Everyone swears by the size sleepers.

Oh I have lists lol! Am an excel queen for everything, have to have a checklist lol just been 11 years since I bought a travel system and the one I bought then was all heavy and clunky and I had to take the wheels off to fit in the boot, so this time want something light weight, but there are SOOOOOOOOO many!

Awww, I love it! Almost bought it when I saw it on sales online but we didn't knew the gender and I said to wait. But I will definitely get one

I love the look of the side sleepers, but my sister has given me the Moses basket she used so I will be using that. I haven't bought anything yet really. Waiting for the scan to find out the gender and then for my husband to come home on R&R before we start shopping. I have some ideas on the types of things I want but I want him to be involved. When he's back we can look around and choose things and then I can keep an eye on offers and order stuff. Hopefully when he's back in August they'll be loads of boxes of stuff for him to unpack and build.
Saying that my sister has also given us a bath seat, a few neutral bits, a new box of tommy tippee bottles (hoping to breast feed), a groegg for the room and a jumperoo (for when its bigger)

No headache today, so I feel like I'm winning. Tummy feels like its stretching today, I'm a little bit uncomfortable and bloated, but generally feeling good. And I've now got a 4 day weekend!xx

 

[Heather1981]

I have only bought Ewan the dream sheep so far.
I don't need to buy much as have kept everything from my son
I just need to buy a new mattress for crib and then just vests,baby grows, and new born pram suit. Then just bottles and odd and ends.
We have the oyster2 pram in the blue so if it's a girl will need to buy a colour pack but we have loads from my little boy x

 

[lea554]

I've been trying not to buy anything - helped massively by the fact I've got no money until payday tomorrow!
I have ordered a fluffy all in one for the winter, was in the sale, got to pick it up from mothercare tomorrow, wonder what else I will purchase whilst I'm there!

Just had my 16 week mw appt (a week and a bit late), all is well, heartbeat at 150bpm, and blood pressure is normal. My midwife is pregnant, so I will only see her for the next couple of appointments!

I'm still exhausted but hoping I continue to feel relatively ok. I've got a really busy weekend, but followed by a spa day on Sunday with an hour long pregnancy massage - I'm going to need it!
Xx

 

[Heather1981]

I have got my 16w appointment on Wednesday when I will 17 wk 2 days and it will be with a new midwife or one I haven't met as the one who I was seeing and I had her last time has retired
I have the private scan tomorrow and I keep worrying that something has gone wrong.
Spa day sounds excellent enjoy!

 

[AmyThomas]

I'm sure everything will be fine at the scan Heather, try to enjoy it and not worry. Although I know exactly how you're feeling and I am the same before all appointments and scans.
I had a new midwife at my 16w appt as the one I saw first has gone back to the hospitals (maybe I'll see her when its labour time), my new one was absolutely lovely. She said she's got about 90 women on her books, wow!

Got a dentist appt today- so much more bearable when its free! And then going shopping with my mum. Very excited about the shopping. Not really looking for maternity stuff but some bigger clothes (the easy stuff that doesn't need to be maternity). Will probably hit up Primark to keep it cheap. Heard good things about Lush Therapy massage bar too, and might sneak in a few baby bits. Exciting x

 

[Allysa151]

Looks like you ladies have lovely plans for the week-end! I am working today and might work tomorrow as well half day , still thinking if I will go or not. I am in the shopping mood, just want to go and buy some nice stuff for the little one
I had pretty bad pains last night when going out of the car and got very stressed, then used the Doppler and found his heartbeat at a 150 bpm, hope everything is all right in there. I am aware that hearing him doesn't mean all in fine however.

Girls, how do you sleep? I am keep on switching from left side to right side and on my back all night and I am wondering if it can do any harm to the baby?

x

 

[ladybugs90]

When I was out food shopping last night I had quite bad pains, like those pressure pains but also some small sharp pains.

I wasn't too worried as they went away once I got into bed I read online it is just your uterus putting pressure on your lower area.

Slept well last night, I have a problem with going to bed, I seem to stay up really late.
I sleep on left and right and back. When I move sides it feels like my belly really has to move haha!

Has anyone got anymore gender scans?
I have mine next weekend!

 

[Allysa151]

Thought it is normal. I have pretty much same pains as you ladybugs, and they don't last which is good. Same when I move sides haha, I move like I have already a 9 months pregnant bump My belly looks much smaller today hmm

 

[Heather1981]

I had a rubbish sleep as you say when you roll over everytime I wake up.
Working today and I tripped. Luckily I managed to grab hold of the wall so save me falling flat on my face. Everyone around was asking if I was ok. It wasn't until after I then started to panic as got pains in stomach but more like I had pulled something or stretched something. Then worried about being rhuesus negative oh my mind just worried about everything lol
I am working tomorrow morning until 1pm then have gender scan at 2.20pm. We are going to visit our mums etc on the Sunday and going to get either the blue or pink balloons in a box and get my little boy to open the box to do the reveal x

 

[AmyThomas]

I feel like I spend the night continuously moving from my left to right, then waking up on my back, then moving again. Has anyone got a good pregnancy pillow yet? I think might order one soon to see if it helps.

Got a few Bab bits today, but as we don't know the gender yet I'm trying to reign it in! Got 3 short sleeved and 3 long sleeve bodysuits, some scratch mits, and a comforter with a rabbit. My mum got 3 sleepsuits, a pack of 3 funky muslins and a sleeping bag. Its tricky not knowing the gender or what size it could come out! I'm pretty small but my husband is big and my sister and cousins all had babies at 9lb 5+ (eyes water!)

I haven't got my gender scan til 16th May. Feels like ages away. x

 

[Heather1981]

Had gender scan and it's a little boy x
Got some lovely photos and my heartbeat teddy
