yea 4 hours for the 1st and 90 mins the second !

pram looks nice wine , does your 21 month old like walking though , my boys both wouldnt go in a pram once they hit 2 , have you considered a buggy board to save your money on a double pram ?

 

[winegums]

yeh i was thinking of a buggy board but at the mo after a couple of minutes walking he stands there bouncing with his hands in the air to be picked up LOL he will happily walk/run for hours in a park/play group etc but if it's just down the street he gets bored and lazy!

I've really been trying to think of every option, i'm keeping his lightweight cheapie pushchair and buying a secondhand moby wrap for new bubs.

i thought this pram as i've seen a few on ebay near me for under £100 and then i can resell in a few months as well. it's mainly just for daily dog walks and also for my OH as he refuses to wear a wrap or sling or whatever

Hmm we will see!

Ohhh so jealous of all of you with 3d/4d scans coming up!!!!!!!!! xxx

 

[evewidow]

i found DS1 thought he was a big boy having the buggy board while pushchairs were for "babies" but they all different some kids stay in a buggy longer than others. and with a dog yea prob be useful .
DS2 hasnt been in a buggy for about 6 -8 months just plain refuses (he is 30 months now )
im getting a moby wrap too i had a sling for ds2 but had trouble doing it myself , ive heard good things about the moby wraps - have you tried one out ?

I think it's an excellent one if you can get it for under £100. Will the newborn part of the pram turn into a toddler chair? Cause if so that will be really useful for ages. Especially if you plan to have anymore you can see if a buggy board will go on it. That's what my sister has just now for her 3. the 7 year old always rides on the buggy board and the other two sit.

I think that is beautiful. Where are you getting it from?

 

[winegums]

yeh one of toddler chair bits can come off and you put a carrycot on for the first few months! it's like 500 from mothercare and the carry cot is 130!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! crazy!

but theres quite a few on ebay near me that come with the carry cot raincover etc nice condition.

I think i'm lucky as i live in london, whenever i want something i usually find a billion on ebay near me, as there are so many people! whereas i have family that live out in the country and they have to look harder to find secondhand things sometimes

nope not tried one yet planning on getting one soon so i can practise before bubs comes they seem the best type for newborns as they are stretchy and snug over baby so will be excellent i think for skin to skin when i'm at home also if i manage to breastfeed etc and i can get on with cleaning and tidying with bubs on me! xxx

 

[evewidow]

thats what i did with my sling i was beastfeeding ds2 whilst walking to preschool to get ds1 ..took a bit of practice mind you haha , like i say only thing i wasnt keen on with my sling was getting newborn in it and it tight enough by myself hoping i get on better with the wrap

 

[Jenniflower]

You girls just reminded me I needed to still purchase my moby wrap with MIL's lovely credit card. hahaha. Here's the one I'm planning on getting.

Winegums that pram looks lovely.

I still havent decided what im going to go for, a sling or wrap. What are wraps like? I get a bit scared it won't be tight enough.

I've been feeling really rubbish today. Went food shopping this morning and my heart started to beat fast and I felt faint. Feel ok now though. My sister checked my BP which was 85/60. I feel like I am overdoing it with the packing but I really need to get it done :-S x

That sounds like an accomplishment! x

 

[winegums]

jenni that's gorg! i love the ones with the pictures at the front but i can only afford a secondhand one and most are the plain ones! boooo! lol

i think with the stretchy wraps (not linen ones) you can put it on yourself minus baby, so its around you and then pop baby in and out when you want/need to during the day!

 

[juicylove]

Im really looking forward to breast feeding, hope it works out this time. sounds like your all well up on it going to book in for a class
cant see any of your pic here in work internet crap booohooo

Though I'm no mom I was a nanny for a reeaaalllly long time and in my experience slings were great if I was at home or if I was going to someones house but there wasn't going to be much walking. I loved the wrap sooooo much more when we were out on a walk. It was much tighter and he was so much more secure. HTH!

 

[mummy to be]

Hello ladies How are you all?
Is anyone else having Braxton Hicks pretty bad?? I am now 29 weeks and yesterday and today have been shocking for BH's they are hurting! my whole tummy goes rock hard for about 10-15 mins

Just wanted to know if i am the only one at this point getting the pains

 

[rachael872211]

I get BH but they are not that long. With my first pregnancy I had them bad by this stage, so much I thought I was in labour. My sister is also having them bad this time around.

How are you feeling now? x

 

[Virginia]

I haven't had any Braxton Hicks, even after starting to take Red Raspberry Leaf capsules (they could cause BH)
