Its June!!!!! 20 week scan next month!!! Whos with me?

[Inoue]

Nice to see you pops, happy 30 weeks btw!

I think most people I know on BNB are declining the flu shot, even though all midwifes seem to push it on people. I haven't heard a midwife say 'not to have it' before so I half expect a confrontation when I say id rather leave it x

 

[Sarahcake]

Hey Pops!

Glad your GTT went well and nice of them to have a quick check over of baby too as they arnt obliged to do it at that appointment Hope you had an amazing holiday too!

Awwww kitty! Im a massive lover of cats, I have 4 myself cant imagine not having them around now.

As for hospital bag, im sick of sitting here wanting it done, this weekend me and my OH WILL be going into town weather he likes it or not and we WILL be sorting this out! lol

 

[Inoue]

Lol, give your OH a kick up the ass sarah! I loved doing my hospital bag, was even tinkering with it today . I looked on third tri forum and people have packed there OH a pair of boxers (?), ive now packed him one as it seems the norm . Are you ladies packing a pair ot trousers for yourself or are you just hoping you have your jeans on when you go into labour? X

 

[Sarahcake]

Packed boxers for their other half? I had no idea people did that? Is that incase they poop themselves at what is going on or something? lol

Im thinking of packing leggings rather than trousers. I have big black stretchy ones and a maxidress to go over it, also in black (sounds morbid as hell right lol) - all my jeans are light coloured and im paranoid as hell about blood leakage...im awful for it when I have my period, so paranoid so I dont want to deal with that after birth too.

 

[Inoue]

Lol. I have NO idea why they need boxers, incase you squeeze there hand to hard? . Think ill also pack some leggings and a smok top, jeans take up so much room x

 

[time]

I'm gonna just pack some leggings and a couple of baggy smock tops, just want something comfy to come home in!

Yeah most of the lists I've seen say to pack hubby a time shirt and pants just incase you are there a while and he doesn't want to leave you to go home, but we live so close to the hospital im not gonna bother!

 

[time]

And welcome back pops! Hope you had a lovely time and happy 30 weeks

 

[ttc_lolly]

Welcome back pops! We got a kitten back in June, and she's a total nightmare she's so naughty! We love her though, I'm just hoping she calms down and soon!

I won't be packing OH anything I'll pack snacks for the both of us, and he'll have his iPhone on him for entertainment anyway, but he won't be able to stay overnight at hospital with me (that's if I go into labour overnight, or need to stay more than a night) so he can go home and change! I'll pack a pair of leggings probably, or just go home in what I came in wearing x

 

[Sarahcake]

We live like 10 mins from the hospital so he can go home and get himself some clothes if needs be, but I dont think partners are allowed to stay at my hospital at all so I dont expect ill be needing things for him at all really, besides things to keep him entertained during labour, the quiet parts that is!

 

[Scally]

Good morning!

Happy 30 weeks Pops and welcome back!

The only thing we packed for my OH when i went into labour was a t shirt and deodrant.

Oh my god what a day yesterday my SIL had her baby boy by c section in the morning, and my friend went into labour and had her baby girl in the eve!

Now to go shopping!!!!!
x

 

[Sarahcake]

Wow babies every where around you right now ally! Congrats to your friend on her new girlie

Lazy day for me today, energy is at an all time low so I'm just gonna chill out and relax today nobody's coming over, I have to go nowhere so today, I shan't be leaving my Pj's and will be eating tasty things and watching some terrible day time telly

 

[ttc_lolly]

Awww congrats to your friend Ally

Lazy(ish) day for me too! Got some housework to do, and going to start sorting out baby's clothes and might wash a few bits x

 

[time]

Aww babies everywhere ally! Because I'm only 23 there's not many people I know with children which is sad but then again none of them are married or own a house like us etc so I guess I just have to wait for all my friends to catch up..Would just be nice to have someone else in my situation!

Lazy days sound good that'll be me at the weekend as I have fri, Sat sun off!

 

[kellie_w]

I can finally post! I wrote a long reply yesterday, and Luke kindly came along, snatched the iPad, caught the back button and deleted the whole post I took ages writing! I now have him sat at the table eating a ice lolly so I can say hi! Glad to see everyone is better, my whole family now have either had or have the sickness bug, never known anything like it. I'm feeling the lazy day today, I have zero energy despite currently sleeping quite well Inbetween wees, my legs are aching like mad, and I wish I could just curl up and sleep sleep and sleep. But I have empty cupboards, baby clothes waiting to be washed (been given 3 bin bags full of baby clothes!) a party to prepare for, a house to clean, presents to be put together and wrapped and a wardrobe to assemble.

What are you all doing about clothes now the temperature is dropping? I really don't want to spend out on any more maternity clothes for the sake of 8 weeks but it really is getting cooler and we are off to great Yarmouth for 3 days next week which I'm sure will be freezing! Is there anywhere that does reasonable priced clothes?

Hope you are all well! Does anyone ever hear anything from lambchops? She hasn't posted about the twins for ages x

 

[time]

I am the same Kellie, went to h and m on Saturday and got some baggy tops pretty reasonable and will just wear them over leggings with boots now it's chilly! Probably won't be getting anymore maternity clothes now if I can help it! I think the best thing to do now is layer up with wooly jumpers etc, primary have loads in now! Over leggings!

 

[time]

*primark. Damn ipad!

 

[Sarahcake]

Oh god, that bug really has spread like wildfire hasn't it. Are you feeling better from it though? Besides the tiredness that is. Nice haul on the clothes you were given! That's loads!

Maternity clothes wise, Ive only really needed to buy maternity jeans so far so I don't really want to spend out on things now with like 9 weeks to go (ish). Im a big girl anyways, so pretty much all of my clothes are on the larger side so I plan to just continue with those and layer up for warmth.

As for cheap bits and pieces, may be worth a trip into Primark and H&M like Time suggested, may not neccesarily get maternity stuff, but you should be able to find some tops and jumpers and things in bigger sizes to what you wear normally? Maybe even Matalan too saying that.

 

[ttc_lolly]

I got a few good maternity bits for dirt cheap on eBay Kellie, so maybe look there? I practically live in huge jumpers and cardis during the winter anyway and should be able to continue squeezing in to all my old ones for now!

Oooh are you doing a big party for Luke? Amber's birthday is next thursday and we are taking her out for the day, but on Saturday having a small tea party at granny's (no clearing up for me ). I did want to do a party at the soft play centre but I don't think I would of had the energy for that so thankfully I didn't book it! x

 

[pops23]

Good point, haven't heard from lambchop for ages!!

I don't want to buy any more maternity clothes either, Think I will get one pair of jeans and then rock out leggings, tops and big cardies through the cold weather. Definitely can't be bothered to invest in a winter maternity coat for the sake of a few weeks.

Can someone pleeeeease send me a hospital bag list, I feel like I should do mine seeing as you are all so organised!!

also can anyone recommend sterlisier/ bottles? There is so much option!

Finally, anyone elses ankles massive today??

Happy Birthdays to Luke and Amber!xx

 

[time]

Think I posted my hospital list on this thread quite a few pages back but I don't know if you can be bothered to try find haha!
Definitely not buying a maternity coat mine will definitely still fit me!

I got the tommee tippee closer to nature starter set which was amazing value on sale at babies r us for about £50 and it seems good, I've only heard good views of tommee tippee!
