You ladies are brave doing the whole cloth nappy stuff, I would find that to much hard work aswell as everything else

good morning girls is the snow all gone? happy papaya day char. Pebbie how unfortunate you're still feeling sick My appetite is pretty much normal now, I was completely ravenous in first tri lol! although I tend to snack more when hungry instead of just getting a coffee. I also sneaked a peek at third tri last night hehe

Its great being a papaya! 2 weeks of it now tho by the time it changes we will be at V day x

I love the pampers nappy. My daughter had them from the start and they never leaked or anything and there is no strange smell either. I tried the Aldi nappies but daughter woke up in the morning and the nappy had leaked

I plan on trying all different brands and stuff until we find what works for us. we'll see on the cloth char if it's too much work I'd say I won't continue it

Pampers were the brand we hated. They did leak and smell for us and I got pretty scared about the stories about chemical burns. I hated nappies and am not looking forward to going back to that stage.

That is what happened with us last time. We thought it would be easy doing an extra load of washing but then when it came to it it seemed like three times more work that I thought it would. My hope is that because I have a better idea what to expect this time it might be easier to stick with them.

 

[babyface15]

I wonder if you can order Huggies in bulk from Canada?

 

[passion4shoes]

I probably wouldn't be able to do it if I had other young children. But as it is we don't do any washing during the week anyway and I will be at home all day.

Pampers leaked with my first born but I didn't even think about trying different brands. I just thought it was me not doing them up properly.

I am looking forward to it but won't lose any sleep if they don't work out. There is a cloth nappy group at our local sure start centre so I will give that a go. Also, our local council give £30 vouchers towards buying cloth nappies.

Have a look Omi and baby- yours might do the same.

 

[pebbie1]

Omi, did your GP prescribe aspirin for you for the pe history? I would ask for it though if I were you. Anything that could help is welcome

 

[OmiOmen]

My council give us £25 back when we spend £50. Since we last got them with DS they have started doing a rent pack of different brands to try out too. Not sure about a group but I will look into that.

I might look into a breastfeeding support group this time too. I did't find a group with DS even though it was a huge amount of work sticking with BF'ing.

My GP just did the checks and left it at that. I think my consultant should have prescribed it since so many people seem to but he didn't take me seriously when I brought up pre-eclampsia at all. I plan on talking to my midwife when I see her in 3 weeks about it all though and try and get another appointment with a different consultant. My blood pressure monitor and the urine analysis dip sticks should be here today but I am still waiting on them.

 

[pebbie1]

Yeah I'd definitely ask for it. I'm hoping it helps it at least slows down the bp so I can get to the end ok. I'm so worried about you because your consultant just didn't take it serious when it's such a serious condition. I'm a silly billy but yeah, I do care about the ladies on here

 

[OmiOmen]

I am can not believe how he handled it either, luckily I am a 'better safe than sorry' type of person and will always see a GP or midwife if I am even slightly worried. But he will give that same advice to women who won't look out for it. I just hope my midwife can help with seeing a new consultant!

 

[pebbie1]

It's shocking. You shouldn't ask for a new consultant but demand a new consultant. Fingers crossed!!

 

[charbaby]

OMG I am so excited!!! My eldest sister has just left mine, She came round to tell me she has booked and paid for a 3d/4d scan on Friday the 1st February !!!!

 

[passion4shoes]

Oh wow! That's brilliant! What a lovely sister! I might tell mine that as a hint. Can't wait to see pictures of your baby. What is the difference between 3d and 4d?

Our local bf support group is called breast friends!

Yeah I am in Cheltenham
No snow here but it has been icy all week and minus 5 today there saying Friday it will be here x

 

[babyface15]

yay char!!
the 4th dimension is time! so you'll get to watch the baby inside in real time instead of just photos and sometimes they let you broadcast it over the Web. and if you're really lucky maybe they'll make you a DVD to take home

 

[OmiOmen]

What a great gift charbaby. I am not sure but I think the difference is that you get some sound with the 4D.

 

[OmiOmen]

The snow is still on the ground here and apparently we will get more here all of Friday and Saturday, some of Sunday and then most of Monday. Have I mentioned how much I hate snow?
