Forums New posts
enjoy the party!! i noticed it was all quiet, i return and everybody left
 
Midwife appointment went great. She took blood for the downs test. We heard babys HB she said HB is normal so im happy about that. Wont see her till 25 weeks now. Now i av to wait 4 weeks for my scan it seems ages away
 
amazes me that these MW's that we barely see will deliver our babies, and we're suppose to trust them
 
I know we probably see them like 5 or so times out the whole pregnancy its not enough in my eyes
 
worries me that i have to trust that person to deliver my bubba.... but thats just me
 
I understand wot ur saying but my MW doesnt deliver my baby the hospital do i asked if they are there at birth and they said no my mw wasnt there when i had my daughter
 
ahhhh mine has lead me to beleive she will be there, so if not its a total stranger, oh great
 
our community MW's we dont see at the hospital unless we bump into them when they are in the community MW office which is on the labor dept, if your going to the hosptial unless your under a specialist MW ie.. a teen then your not likely to have your MW there at your birth
 
Yay 17 weeks today :) Does anyone know when the baby can start hearing me talk to it?
 
According to my books... it could hear you starting around week 14-15. Start talking/singing/playing music! Enjoy!
 
I had my 16 week appointment today! Everything was great, apart from the fact that on my booking in bloods my iron stores were a bit on the high side so they had to do repeat bloods for ferritin and liver function! Was a little annoying as I hate having blood taken! Heard baby's heartbeat for the 1st time, which was amazing! I kind of wish OH could get time off for antenatal appointments too as I know he'd have loved to have heard it but he makes sure he gets time for scans and that's the main thing! The midwife found the heartbeat really quickly, like within 10 seconds! It was as if she just put the doppler on me and there it was! It shocked her too, especially as the doppler was on the least sensitive setting! Although, it also kind of makes sense as I've been feeling movement for over a week already so clearly baby's close to the surface! She didn't give me a heart rate but it sounded about twice the speed of my husband's pulse so roughly 120 bpm at a guess! It was really strong and regular, which was a relief! :happydance:

I'm in Cardiff via Haverfordwest next week and am going shopping for baby and maternity stuff with my mum as there's absolutely nowhere around here to buy anything baby related! So I'm really excited about that! Plus, it means that I don't have to be in the flat on my own for too long as my husband's away now until 7th July as he's doing a walk for charity with his dad and brothers! :happydance:

Anyway, can't wait now until 27th July and my 20 week scan! :thumbup:

I wouldnt count on being able to find much in cardiff in the shops. I think I remember someone complaining that nowhere has anything actually in (maternity clothes that is), or if they do its like 5 things. Its the same here in Bristol, apart from Mothercare and M&P theres almost no point traipsing round the shops. The M&P outlet near Bridgend is worth a visit if youre close, they really cram the clothes in, much better than the Swindon one :)

Ive started to put on weight this week, not changed anything about what Ive been eating so Im calling it a growth spurt lol. Will cut out the little treats and see if I can keep it stable at least.
 
I think my parents are planning on taking me out to Newport for Jojo Maman Bebe and places like that! I think the new Toys R Us by the sports village has a Babies R Us bit too, which is handy! Even a few bits are better than what I have here! For baby stuff- like cribs, prams, etc- there's Argos and that's it! Matalan has a reasonable baby clothes section as does Store 21 but the only maternity clothes I can find are a couple of pairs of leggings, a pair of yoga pants and a top in Peacocks! So anything is better than what I have here! :dohh:

Truthfully though, I know shopping generally in Cardiff is rubbish and certainly not what you'd expect from a capital city! Usually, I find shopping in Aber is better but maternity and baby goods are too much of a niche market for any of the small specialist shops to survive for long and the large chains don't tend to come here much! :dohh:

iv found alot of really decent cheap ones of ebay, in great condition to maybe have a peak on there
 
Hi ladies!

Thought I'd join you :) I'm expecting my 1st little bub on the 12th of December :) xxxx
 
My DH sang the flintstones theme tune to my bump last night as neither of us knows any actual baby songs!
