[Smanderson]

Rozz what freebies are there? I have done the nubi thing and sainsburys little ones but i tried to do the ASDA one and its finished and now they have my details

I second George at Asda, bought lots of gorgeous clothes for my toddler from there. Am very pleased I'm having another little girl so that everything will get used again! As dd is only 2 we've got loads of stuff (clothes/toys/Moses basket) already and although that's good in a way, I miss all the shopping we did first time round and feel a bit sad for dd2!

 

[Jenny_J]

Smanderson - iv not found a cream that stops them but most moisturizers stop the itching.

 

[Smanderson]

Thanks Jen, i thought as much i hope they dont stay so red and angry once the babies are here but i'll keep up the mousturizing to keep the itching at bay xx

 

[rooster100]

Hi girls, I was told with stretch marks there is no cream that provents them, just creams that relieve the itching! I don't have any yet but I'm not holding my breath as I heard they can come just before the baby is born! X

Thanks hun, I think its a mix of not sleeping well for the past month (cant see anything changing with needing to pee and hip cramps), the kids being off school, and stress. Il try the colour counting thing :-D

My stretch marks have only been bad for the last week, and now they're buggering my tattoos

 

[Smanderson]

Rozz, thanks for the heads up on the voucher code website am gonna take a peek im on the bounty one and love the packs they give out, they are so handy but i hadnt noticed their sales, will pay more attention to their emails now though LOL

Jenny, i'll give it a whirl, i have been using the baby and bump cream which smells nice too but its always worth giving a new one a go

Sarah welcome to the club hun dont worry, i think they fade once bubba is here

My hips are killing me at night so sleep is rubbish! Plus I have to go to the loo about every hour/ hour and a half! I've no idea where it's all coming from! Lol

Also really tired! Have taken mid day naps of about an hour for the last 2 days! Luckily I'm not working anymore!

I panicked after seeing how organised everyone was yesterday so went shopping today lol! Feel better for it! Got some nice clothes in next & mamas and papas. Where are other uk ladies shopping? I heard mothercare stuff doesn't wash well- but it's really reasonable so don't want to rule it out because of one persons opinion. Has anyone bought from mothercare before?

Also where r uk ladies getting nursery furniture? I just realised today that it can take several weeks to order!!! Mamas and papas sets seem to be best value (for set of wardrobe, cotbed & drawers/ changer) - anyone seen better deals?

Hello, I also like Next and M&P for nice baby clothes! I've also been stocking up at John Lewis, Boden and a few bits from Joules. I've had plenty of Mothercare bits for dd when she was little, never had any problems, and they do some adorable bits and pieces!

M&P furniture is lovely, but I think they are one of those companies which make their cots/cotbeds a slightly different size to other shops so that you have to buy everything from them, ie the mattress, sheets, duvets etc. Thats always put me off, but their stuff is gorgeous! When I was expecting dd we bought all the furniture from John Lewis, fab quality and reasonable prices too
