Had midwife this morning, measuring at 25 week's, which with the fact my bmi was a little over 30 and my mum had gd I have to have a glucose tolerance teat on Tuesday xx

anyways question... Any of you laides stocking up on nappies? I want to as would save us alot of money I. Long run bit not sure which ones to go for, most people I have spoken to recommend Tesco own brand, I have a paco of Tesco and a pack of pampers and the pampers are so thin and the elastic around legs is no where near as sturdy as Tesco x boots have a fab deal on agmail for all you UK ladies I am stocking up on wet wipes later tonight, works out at £7 for 12 packs of huggies pure wipes bargain there own brand nappies in size 2 work out at 12.80 for 262 nappies too much cheaper than the pampers which is 24 for 222 nappies on same offer - all their baby stuff is 3 for 2 atm x

I dont know which to go for, or how many to get?xx

I have to have the gtt test too. Having mine November 13th

As for nappies ~ everyone has their own favourites. I reccocmend not buying too many of the same type.
We brought loads of huggies with my son and I hated them. They leaked a lot (I dunno if it was just a boy thing) we've also had the same problem with tesco own brand.

I'm only buying pampers. As they are my favourite.

Asda little angels are pretty good too.

As for wipes, i reccocmend the asda little angels or the tesco own brand wipes too. Always on offer!
Huggies wipes are awful and just tear and dry out, so I never buy those.

I have decided to not stock up on nappies before she is here, but might put some money on a gift card or something each week for nappies when she is here
FIL wanted to supply first 6 months of nappies, he has told hubby that he is getting Pampers size 1, I asked hubby to just tell him not to go silly with them in case we don't get on with them, at the min I think I want to go with Tesco loves baby own brand as everyone I know has recommended them, and they are half the price at least but apparently he is getting 504ish lol x

However, I also decided I still wanted to make as much use of the baby event at boots so stocking up on wet wipes the offer ends on the 12th November so still plenty of time to get more too

Seeing this has made me realise I need to start stocking up!!
Think I'm gonna start buying packs of wipes every time we go shopping. You can never have too many.

I'm an emotional wreck again tonight thanks to my dad talking to me like crap infront of my son.
There's no need to shout at me infront of him! I even asked him to stop and wait until Cameron wasn't with me.
I cried my eyes out to my mum - she agreed there was no need to do it like that. All because my car hasn't been hoovered out.
With a gut like mine id like to see him try.

Men just don't get this pregnancy thing!

aww Katie, I'm sorry to hear your dad upset you No matter what the reason, he shouldn't be 'yelling' at you in front of your child, or AT ALL in any case.

Ever tried giving him a piece of your mind right back to him? My parents learned LONG ago that getting aggressive/arguing with me never works out in their favour (and fortunately, it rarely ever happens anymore).

Hope you're feeling better though

OMG!!!! it is your car?! what has it got to do with anyone else if it is hoovered out or not, you should see the state of my car oops, gonna do it over weekend! And it is not fair for your little boy to have to see that, shame on your dad

Hubby has been quite good in understanding stuff, quite surprised, I go through phases where I just want to cry, and there is no reason, and he just gives me a hug and then laughs with me about it, for all the annoying crap he does and I may moan about him, but he really does cheer me up, if I am mad or upset, even if it is with him, he always seems to be able to make me smile and laugh, although when I am mad at him, that can be annoying in itself lol
he doesn't moan if I haven't done something, because he knows I am shattered, and if it is that important to him, he can do it himself lol
Although, tomorrow I am finally going to get around to starting the decluttering and sorting of this place . . . hopefully haha xx

Holy shit, all I have is a pack n play, travel system and a small amount of clothes. I feel so behind :/ trying to wait my baby shower out to see what all I need to purchase though!

 

[OurLilFlu]

Hey I don't think anyone is worse than me! I have one onesie and a sleeper and we painted our rocking chair... We're moving soon though so gotta wait til the renos are done

 

[Batman909]

I'm 24 weeks today! Holy moly here's a 10 week progress pic. I've gained 11 kg or 25 lb to you American ladies I don't feel that huge but I must be!

 

[ksilme]

We don't have baby showers here x I am going to get cotton wool and toiletries while on special too still finding it really difficult to imagine baby zoey in there, and hard to believe that in just under 16 week's (although I reckon I will go overdue) I will be holding her in my arms
hubby asked about the 4d scan last night, asked how big she was now, and whether she will have her eyes open on the scan etc - bless him, he thought we would be able to see what colour eyes she had lol, had to try and explain that it is a scan not a camera lol I love him so much x a week tomorrow til the scan and I really cannot wait, he thought he would be disappointed, but I showed him a video and he couldn't stop smiling and it wasn't even zoey lol xx

We'll be using cloth nappies again this time - I highly recommend them, they're super fun !! I'm currently trying to decide which to pack in my hospital bag (yes I've packed one already after being admitted to hospital at 25 weeks last time and having to rely on my dad to bring me stuff in as my husband was working away, I definitely want to be able to pack my own stuff !)

Just had a scan today and baby is head down (I know it can change, but after having a previous breech baby it's nice to know that this one can at least get into that position ) and weighing 1lb 14oz (856g) - getting big now !

 

[sugarpuff]

Oo and just realised that I am into double figures, eek !

 

[allforthegirl]

Woooo I will be double digits tomorrow. Crazy!!

 

[OurLilFlu]

That's really exciting... I used to think like 'whoop dee doo' but now that I'm getting close to that countdown it's very exciting to be able to tick off the days!

 

[Batman909]

I'm almost into double digits to. Feels like the time is really flying.

 

[megrenade]

[sugarpuff]

Yay congrats

Eee in a follow up to my comment on deciding what cloth nappies I'm going to take to the hospital, here's a photo of the yummy goodness that I've chosen, I'm just waiting on a couple of tiny nappy wraps (I've also got some tiny prefolds that I'll probably take too)
