E&C - At the end of the day you'll be happy no matter what gender it is and I wouldn't care whether the in-laws are happy or not :) You know you'll love him/her and that's all that matters! :)

Dressing gown - try Asda/tescos - think they do them for a tenner? BUT, it's usually sooooooo hot in the maternity wards - you probably won't end up using it?

Glad your appts went well ladies!! :)
 
I'm not planning on wearing it all the time. Just to cover my modesty when I go to the loo or visitors. That's why I don't want to spend loads on one.
I'll pop into George next week and hopefully get one from there.

And of course I'll be happy with the gender. I just want to know now. It's like having a xmas present under the tree for 9 months and not being able to open it til the big day. I love surprises but it's starting to drive me insane now! In a good way though :D
 
Look in mothercare for dressing gown - I got a really light/thin one for £16 for the same reason, but didn't want a massive fluffy one because it would be far too hot.
 
I've got a nice fluffy towelling one at home but it's too big for my hospital bag and I am only taking slipper socks cos people are saying the floors will be mucky. I can't stand hot feet. I haven't wore socks for months. I'm not even sure if it's possible for me to reach my feet any more to put anything on them. All my shoes are slip on. Heaven knows what I would do if I was this far on in the winter.
 
primark do really light weight dressing gowns for much cheaper then supermarkets ect. thats where i got the one i had when i had zane
 
I went to Primark for my nighties and stuff but they didn't have any dressing gowns. I was a bit miffed cos I just wanted to do a one-stop-shop for my hospital-wear.
 
I know. I was surprised as well. I even asked the lady because they were having a big refurb. Never mind. It's not the end of the world :)
 
uve got afew weeks left yet im sure ule find a thin one somewhere.
ive still got afew things to buy myself
 
Try flip flops too... that's what I'm taking in :) I'm like you HATE hot feet
 
I'm wearing my fit flops wear them all the time can't see the point in taking slippers. I got a light weight cardigan i'm wearing instead of dressing gown. Not going out spending money when a cardigan will do. Now is the time to buy if you are as sales have started here in the UK.

I so wish my baby was engaged. I got midwife again on weds. Hoping things have progressed as I 37wks today.

Anybody been put on Vit K? When I was at hospital last week they prescribed me Vit K I think its cos of my epilepsy meds not sure thought i would ask.
 
I thought Vit K was given to baby when it was born so I'm no help as to why you might need it.
Has anyone asked about Group Strep B? (I think that is what it is called) At what stage do we ask for the test?
 
on way to hosp again. reduced movement, bloody show, and contractions just starting up. Just going to be monitored for now. Hopfully a false alarm...
 
I have everything and more crossed for you TJW. Take care x

Click to expand...

I don't think it's ar outine test in the UK... I wasn't offered it for either pregnancy
 
I have a vit k deficiency and it's a clotting factor for blood. I have to take vit k pills if i'm going to have a tooth out or that :).
 
Fingers crossed tjw x x

I have read you can get a test and pay about £35 for strep B. It's not a standard test they do in England I was going to ask my MW on Weds.

Vit K is given to babies if you want it but I think its also given to mum's on epilepsy meds going to ask my MW about this too. Wasn't really explained to me at the hospital and she wrote out the prescription wrong she didn't say how many tablets so pharmacy could only give me 5 days.
