Yay 10 weeks today! I have woken up for the past few days not feeling sick!!! It does come back in the afternoon though quite badly and seems to get worse if im in the car but I'm glad it seems to be easing off a little bit!

I experience the same thing , I always feel so sick in the car. It's not even like being cat sick but something worse

hi can I join please?im due #2 on the 27th but most likely will be having a C-section around the 20th, as I had a ecs with my son, I don't want to go through the horror with this baby like I did with my son, anyway feeling fine just tired mainly, feel weird if I leave it too long to eat or get hungry I find eating often keeps it at bay how are you all doing?

 

[readynwilling]

WORST NIGHT EVER. My kids don't nap or sleep - so remind me why i am doing this again? Tyler better figure it out quick - i wont be able to keep going like this.

10 weeks for me today Babies are the size of prunes now lol

We went pram 'looking' today - doubles are so limited!! Very little choice and the cost... wow! They know how to charge for them too! Think we have fially settled on one if i can find a store that sells the carrycots and adaptors too - i want to see them in person before buying!

Won't buy for a while but really have got to get in gear and start sorting things - two of lots of things isn't going to be cheap! Mum however has said she is buying the pram so that's one less thing to worry about (she bought my sisters first one too)

Congrats to everyone on the milestones! I'll be 8 weeks in two days, that feels like a good milestone.

When I was a nanny, a nanny friend of mine gave me a great tip- for two hours after lunch we did 'quiet time', and it was a godsend. We would have lunch, and after a week or so, the kids got that right after was 'quiet time'. They could look at books or play quietly- but i was very calm and set that time up that way. It was amazing- we would eat, and while I would tidy up lunch they were set up with some nice calm toys/books and soon got the idea. I could then sit with them and read or flick through a magazine. It made such a difference and then we would do something more energetic (go somewhere/play outside etc) And everyone was happy. It might be worth a try!! good luck for bedtime tonight!

The twins I watched had a mountain buggy, and it was great! The seats were roomy, but it was designed to be as wide as a wheelchair, which was super practical (ie. You can take both of them into a disabled bathroom when out and about). Might have been this model? https://m.target.com/p/mountain-bug...6Z_S90K9-USS1gB8kpqPpK04pFaE_B8758aAlIg8P8HAQ

I would definitely recommend checking mountain buggy out! (We are having one baby, and I would definitely have an MB as a first preference anyway- well built, proper wheels etc).

hey, my nausea has been the least problematic thing this weekend here, with a 9 month old whos throwing up and a 4 yr old with runny tummy then im sat sniffing freshly washed hands to try to get rid of the other smells that i can smell though the mess is long cleaned up and all the children in bed for the night.

Thats the one i went in to look at as had fallen in love with it online... but i want the carrycots for the first few months and they were so narrow it was ridiculous. Saw another couple there looking for the same thing and they were also put off by the narrow cots. I have found the 'out'n'about' nipper 360 range, which also does the carrycots, but they only seem to be available online. I've emailed a store that stocks the main buggy bits to see if they stock them or could get one on for me to look at! Such limited choice, yet i have high expectations - told DH to get designing there was whole in the pram market lol x

 

[MiniBump]

Don't know if it helps but I think they stock these in Precious Little One in Grantham, just off the A1. Think Kiddicare have them too in Peterborough? Not sure how far they are from you x

 

[xxshellsxx]

Kiddicare don't stock the carrycots for the out'n'about - they didn't even know they did them! lol I was there today i'm only about 35 minutes from there. Grantham might not be too far if they stock the carrycots it will be worth it. Will see if baby lourve get back to me about it and then go from there, thank you

 

[swanxxsong]

Happy belated birthday JMandrews!

9 weeks today!

I am exhausted lately. Just shattered by midday. I think a lot of it has to do with the heat?

PLO website definitely says they have them in store for demo but the shop is attached to the warehouse anyway so they're happy to get things out for you. If you like their Facebook page you also get a code for 5% off so make sure you barter for at least that if you buy anything in store! Good luck! x

Unless the design is very different from what 'my' twins had in 2009, I promise it worked great! You really only place them in the cots for a limited period of time whatever model you choose because once they can turn etc they have to be switched out. They are obviously smaller than a single cot, but those babies never looked or seemed cramped just my two cents, as I think the compact(ish) width was indispensable out and about

Let us know what design you go for!

Do any of you ladies have a sonoline b fetal Heart Doppler? I have one but was wondering when and if any of you have picked up baby's HB. I am still super early for it to show yet but I was wondering when I can expect to hear it.

 

[Layka]

Hi all,

I didn't know you had this group - I'm due Feb 6th!

This is a first pregnancy for me and I'm fairly worried. I'm wondering if I should get a Doppler.. but I don't know if it would really ease my fears.

 

[ttc126]

Hi Layka!

Welcome i personally decided against a Doppler because if i couldn't find the hb i would panic... i do know other ladies that find it very reassuring though so really it's up to you and how it will make you feel.

Jmandrews, happy belated bday Also I've heard of ladies in the first tri board finding hb at 9-11 weeks

 

[Underduck]

Hello all!

My due date is about the 9th of Feb! I am 31 years old and this will be our first baby. It was a little unplanned (but we stopped trying birth control methods so we were not surprised!) and we are thrilled. I just want this to work out and I want to get through this pregnancy without hurting anyone else's feelings

Lots of people already know because I can't keep a secret, I weary heart on my sleeve and Id want a support system if anything went wrong. We are tryin to hang on until 12 weeks before telling anyone else.

My symptoms:
BOOBS! So big! So tender sometimes!
MS - bareable most of the time but some days are worse than others.
CM - Yuck.
exhaustion AND sleeplessness - how does that work?!
Extreme cow - I'm very cranky sometimes. My lovely partner doesn't always know what to do. Poor man.

ANYHOO! I'll update my ticker/trackers things soon but I'm glad to have a group of ladies to chat with
