Does anyone know if those car seat inserts you get with the head bigger can be used to replace the original head hugger and wedge that comes with a maxi cosi cabiro fix or if you still need to use the wedge no matter what ?

Can't recall where you're located, but in the US, we are encouraged not to use after market products with our carseats. If you look at your specific car seat manual, it will most likely say something like that. That means anything (head huggers, wedges, even those bundle blanket things that go between baby's back and the car seat, strap covers, piddle pads, etc) void their warranty. Anything you've bought that doesn't come with the carseat should be made by that car seat's brand. For example, I have a Graco infant seat, and I wanted strap covers. I called Graco & they sent me some for like $2 (even though they're not available in stores). Britax has their own piddle pads for kids who are potty training &/or blowouts, so if you have a Britax car seat & buy a Britax piddle pad, you're good. I hope that makes sense.... I'm kind of a car seat safety nerd. :wacko:
 
Hoping - Happy V Day!!! :yipee:

DaTucker - YAY! Congrats on a baby girl! :cloud9: I'm so so sorry to hear you're having cervix trouble. I'm glad they're taking good care of you and hope it all works out <3 Keep us posted!!!

Emzee - Sorry about the gender disappointment :( I'm sure once you hold your little guy in your arms, gender won't matter. But I get it - I'd be disappointed too if I knew I was done and didn't get to have a little girl. Be kind to yourself :hugs: <3 Loving the scan pics! He's adorable already :) Glad they're keeping an eye on his size for you <3

AFM - After my last post ended up puking and going home sick :cry: Still not sure if I was actually sick with a tummy bug or if it was because I was up since 3:30 that morning and I'm pretty sure I forgot to take my Diclegis before bed.... so it was probably pregnancy related. Still, after throwing up at work on Wednesday afternoon, I ended up staying home yesterday too. Was nice to have a day off. Woke up a bit nauseous (I'm thinking maybe due to lack of food the day before? Being tired? IDK....) but after eating breakfast I was pretty much okay, thankfully. Back to normal today, though a bit tired. 2 more days til V-day for me!!! <3 <3 <3

DaTucker- I’m really sorry you’ve been going through all this! Make sure to keep us updated and I’ll keep my fingers crossed that everything goes well.

Emzee- I understand why you’d be feeling sad. I can’t imagine if I was in your position but think you’re doing a good job by recognizing why you’re upset!

AFM I’ve just been plugging along. We get to go in next Friday for another scan because they couldn’t see baby boy’s heart very well. So we get to see him again!! We’re very excited.

I wanted to ask any of you ladies, is anyone else completely uninterested in sex?? I usually have a healthy appetite for sex but since being pregnant I feel like a whale and it doesn’t feel good and don’t want anything to do with it. Am I the only one??
 
I have been SLACKING. Norovirus attacked my house, first my 4 year old was barfing and then horrible diarrhea and I've been down for the count after that. Couldn't eat for a day and a half and still just getting my energy back.

I missed SO MUCH! Hope I got all the changes.

@Shanlee16 and @LarZ84 @emzeebob - Congrats on your boys!! :blue::blue::blue:

@mkyerby16 @DaTucker - Congrats on your girls!! :pink::pink:

@Babybump87 im not really sure?? We sold our maxi cosi car seat but my sister in law gave me her maxi cosi one... but I only realised the other day it has no newborn wedge or head hugger so I’m wonder if you can use any kind too????

@Hoping4numbr3 happy V DAY! Yay!!! 24 weeks! Eek! It’s not possible that 3rd tri is round the corner!!!

I’m pretty sure you need the wedge part after looking online . Something to do with the way the baby will sit in the seat and back support ?!. Maxi Cosi do sell one on their website but it’s not the same as I remember ours being !

Headrest Pillow CabrioFix - Accessories & Spare Parts - Products
It’s sold out too .

Today has been a rollercoaster. I went to see the high risk doctor today due to my cervix being 2cm last Friday.

On the upside of the day, we found out we are having a GIRL!! We have been wanting a girl for so long, but we doubted it would happen bc both of our families are Male dominant. But there she was!!

On the downside, my cervix was shortened to 1.7. Less than a minute into the scan the doctor said, "Well that's not good..." apparently my cervix is doing what they call "Hourglass syndrome." The gist I got was it is opened in a thin line down the middle of the cervix, but not completely opened, so that's good. I was also leaking some fluid that he got really concerned about. I have to go to my regular doctor in the morning to make sure it's not a slow amniotic fluid leak, which is pretty much what happened with my son, but further into the pregnancy. He's not overly concerned with it tonight bc I have a lot of fluid in the sack, but the nurse told me to take it easy tonight and if I get any gushes to to go Labor and Delivery asap. I go back to the specialist on the 19th for another cervix check and will more than likely end up getting the cerclage.

So like I said, rollercoaster. I need Miss Evelyn Noelle to stay inside much, much longer and cook a whole lot more!!

Thanks Bella . I did contact Maxi Cosi direct about a replacement but don’t think it’s the same one I need ! We will probably just end up buying a new car seat if we don’t have the complete seat when DH gets it out the attic ! I’m having major panic over missing car seat / pram parts !

Haha it’s always best to be safe than sorry !! Thanks for the info !
 
@Babybump87 thats not the one we had. I have looked on eBay and you can pick up used ones for around £10ish?! I’ll double check with my sister in law to see if she has it but if not I think I’ll check out eBay.

@emzeebob sending you hugs lovely lady. How’s things seeming today. Congratulations on baby boy though xxx

@Mrs. JJ sorry to hear you’ve been poorly! I hate sickness bugs... they really wipe you out. Hopefully your all feeling much better soon.

@Shanlee16 i feel the same about sex! Haha! Pregnancy really does a number on my sex drive..... it has with most of my pregnancies!!! So I’m with you on that one.

@BellaRosa8302 sorry you ended up being sick!!!! But glad your feeling better! Nearly V day! Awesome!!!! My nausea is creeping back in a little and I’m going back of cups of tea and a few other things again.

Xxx

I think we must have the older version of the Cabrio Fix then because eBay have exactly the one we may need too !

I really want a footmuff for mine this time for the winter months ! And some of those hand mittens that strap to the pram lol .

We were struck down last week it was horrendous !!! Only DH managed to escape it !! Hope your all feeling much better now! Takes a few days to feel well enough to do stuff again !!
 
Happy Monday ladies! Hope everyone is well! Not much to report here.... getting some snow tomorrow. Fingers crossed for a snow day (day off from work!) Would love the extra time at home to get some stuff done & spend some time with my littles! How is everyone doing? <3
 
I’d love a snow day .. just for a sleep in haha !!

Nothing to report here ! Baby is moving around like crazy . I’ve started to notice a pattern in his movement now too !

Anyone got a scan / appointment soon ? My next appointment is not until 13 March !
 
How exciting! A snow day! We are lucky to get a few snow flakes!!!!

It’s lovely when you realise baby has a bit of a pattern.

I should have a midwife appointment beginning of March... if I’d only remember to book one!!!!!!!!! Also need to book in for my whooping cough! Argh!
 
Yay MrsJJ! I'm with you there too - my Vday was Sunday! :cloud9:

My next appointment is tomorrow! Will be nice to hear baby's HB again <3

I can't believe I forgot to tell you guys... I was in the hospital on Friday because I was having BH all day and reduced fetal movement. I wasn't sure whether to call my doctor, but when I did, I was told to go to the hospital for a labor check. Thankfully (but slightly annoyingly), once I got there, no more contractions. Not too surprised though since I had them when I was on my feet and at the hospital they had me in a bed. While I was there, I heard newborn cries and OMG hearing that just made my heart soar. I can't wait for that again :cloud9:
