I personally think bottle warmers are useless (same with wipe warmers). Just dump the bottle in a jug of warm water to warm it up

 

[cranberry987]

I got one off freecycle and am undecided tbh. I havent used it yet but it seemed quicker to put bottle in there than boil kettle then start to warm it.

Been blitzing the house today and throwing out all my old paperwork over 7yrs old, yey to having to keep so much crap for taxes - its mostly electronic now thank god, my wardrobe cant cope any more.

Def have more energy now im past 12w, also feel bigger than last week. Or maybe its just because Ive had the 12w scan so Im more relaxed about it all now, hmm.

Hope youre all well and having a lovely weekend, peeing down with rain now.

Hi girls,

Oh I've been so busy this weekend, not really had chance to pop on here at all.

Sunshine - sorry you were ill, it does sound like RLP, i've not had much of that yet but you're right to ask the doc! Glad you're feeling better.

Pink Sparkle - I've started buying a few bits too, I've got a bottle warmer but never used one before. I think it looks quite useful!

xheartsx - Glad you had a nice weekend in Blackpool, I'm feeling very unfit too at the mo! and starting to feel quite uncomfortable in the evenings! God knows what i'll be like further down the line.

Welsh_mum - I've got a Sonoline B doppler, its ace, love listening in the baby's heart beat. I heard my LO's heartbeat at 11+4, so you should hear now, its just takes a bit of fiddling about to understand where to find it and sounds to recognise.

Cranberry - Helloooo, its good to have a clear our of stuff, always makes me feel better, glad you're feeling perkier too.

I had a fab time at the wedding although it was a long day and I got fed up during the evening as everyone was really drunk and I couldn't join in! I did have one glass of champagne to toast the couple. I'll post some pics as soon as I can.

Well today I'm 40% through this pregnancy, I've gained another 2lbs this week! Shocking weight gain now. Still very mucousy especially in the mornings and I've been so tired this week but I think thats down to being busy!

How is everyone else doing?

Half the ppl who go to the same social events as me atm (wont call them friends, theyre rly not, longer story tho than I cba to type) are preg so we're all on shloer and becks blue. Going to a stoner bday party next saturday which will be interesting. Plan is to sit in the park all day with a picnic, probably them all get stoned while I sit upwind. Then its pub and club. I cant see me making the whole thing tbh as I rly dont fancy sitting on the ground all day. Have had tailbone pain since day 1 of this pregnancy and its not too bad but aint helped by sitting on rockhard ground.

These ppl planning whatever they want for their birthdays, dont they know Im growing a person!

 

[xheartsx]

I don't really miss drinking too much, although i wasn't much of a drinker before i got pregnant! I'm still really tired too. I'm waiting for this energy boost that we're supposed to get!
I've not weighed myself for ages. I'm going to need to brave it in the morning to see what i'm up to, but i'm guessing probably about 12lbs. My belly is definitely getting bigger!

I'm getting quite a few freebies, which i'm so grateful for now i'm going to be jobless! I am going out with OH on saturday though to buy a moses basket and some blankets. Very excited! xxx

Hi girls, Im back from my parents Ive had an amazing break and loved spending time with my family. BBQ, good company and rest.

Hearts Im glad you enjoyed Blackpool, its so nice to get away!

WelshMum - Ive got an Angel Sounds doppler and its AMAZING. You should be able to hear a hb from 8 weeks with an Angel Sounds one but Im not sure with the others as all Ive heard is bad reviews You have to press quite hard, low down near your pubic bone and in the middle. When you hear 'wind in the trees' thats the placenta and near that area there will be a hose galloping sound which is babys heart. I went on You Tube to listen to other peoples first which really helped me. be careful not to pick up your own hb from the femoral artery.

Im 16+3 today and feel dizzy and sick :*( Ive tried to convince OH to have a private sexing scan this week but hes not having any of it! Gutted. Got my Anti D appointment today (dread)!


Hope youre all well.

[Tizy]

Hi Rachel, glad you had a nice break hunni. I can't believe we've still got 28 days until we find out the sex!! I really wanted a scan too but just can't afford it so we're waiting until the 20 week scan, mines on 11th July, when's yours?

What's your appointment all about? Hope it went well anyway.

Han Xxx

 

[cranberry987]

How did the anti d appt go? Gonna see if there's any way I can get dh blood tested to avoid a jab. Don't mind needles just don't want unnecessary crap in my body if I can help it

I know they'll tell you your blood type if you give blood, not sure about the anti bodies test tho. Probably not tbh

 

[Cherrybinky]

Mines 11th July too Han at 9.15am. I cant wait. I had a voucher to get £15 off my sexing scan from the place I went to before so it would be £50 but Pete is adamant that waiting 4 weeks isnt so bad grrrr.

The appointment is for my Anti D injection because Im Rhesus Negative blood type. Usually they dont bother if its your first baby and you dont plan on having anymore or if your partners blood type is also RH Neg but we dont know Petes blood type and Im not sure if I plan on anymore babies, I said never again but who knows!

[cranberry987]

I'm banned from using the Doppler more than weekly... These men have no heart

 

[Tizy]

Yeyh! Rachel! Mines at 9.20am! That's funny same date for our 12 week scans, same date for 20 week scan, wonder if we'll be same date for having our babies too?

Cranberry, I try to only use mine once or twice a week, but sometimes I sneak an occasional go!

Han Xxx

 

[pink sparkle]

Rachel - nice to have you back on here and glad you had a nice break.

What a coincidence that you have both had appointments on the same day for both scans it would be lovely if they arrived on the same day too x

Jurys out for me with the bottle warmer but i suppose in a few months ill be able to decide if it was worth the money or not. My neice recommended i get one had said hers was a godsend....time will tell x

Ive been bidding on baby swings on ebay and have finally won one! Go to collect it on saturday afternoon its soo pretty and a bargain less than half rrp price will have to post a pic x

Took ds to toddler time at soft play this morning and met an adorable little girl called Maisie...another name i really like x

 

[cranberry987]

I rly like Maisie too but that my aunts cats name. We all have human named cats. So that's Maisie, dave, Rosie, holly, Oscar and Ed out.

 

[pink sparkle]

oh cranberry thats funny. One of my mums best friends keeps naming her pets after my mums grandchildren! Named her cat Megan after i had Megan and has recently named her puppy billy and my nephew is billy...silly story really but i found it quite amusing and told my mum to tell her to stop nicking our names x

 

[sunshine623]

Hi ladies! Sounds like everyone had busy weekends!

hearts, I know exactly what you mean about waiting for the energy boost in the second trimester! Everyone always says "you feel great in your second trimester!", but I still feel like crap most of the time. Better than first tri, but still not great.

Rachel and Tizy, glad you had a good weekend getaway! It sucks that you all have to wait so long to find out the gender! We're all around the same due date, and I'm supposed to find out on the 30th. I have a patient who's finishing up ultrasound school and offered to do a free ultrasound for me to tell me the gender if I want. Don't know if Nick would be able to go though, so I'll have to talk to him and see what he thinks. I'm DYING to know what it is already!!!

Sparkle, I like "Masie", too! Haven't heard that one in a while. Great girl's name!

Oh, we got our baby bed yesterday!!! Got it from my MIL for free. It was my nephew's but he never even slept in it, so it's practically new. Now we just have to get it put back together in the baby's room and clear out a few boxes. I can't wait to start decorating!

 

[xheartsx]

Oh i'm dying to find out the sex of my baby too, and i have to wait until the 21st July! My OH also won't pay for a private one when our 20 week scan can tell us! I suppose he's got a point though.

We're going official baby shopping on saturday to start getting some bits in. I'm very excited!

Hope everyone's ok. xx

 

[pink sparkle]

How exciting baby shopping and decorating ...i dont have a nursery for this one unfortnately...we will have to move in a few years time as she will be sharing with her big brother for a while....although she will probably be in our room for the first year x

 

[cranberry987]

hi all

have the afternoon off and just had a swim, totally shattered after it so just gathering my energy to turn the tv on... its such a mission as its so ridiculously complicatedly set up

ordered a silk dress from M&P which arrived today so Im just swanking about in that with wet hair and no make up on. I must look a right state
