I just had several days where little man was quiet and now he is back full force... I assumed it was a growth spurt. Just had my 24 week appointment and all seems good... Scheduled my glucose for four weeks from now.

We also bought a glider!! A local department store was having a sale do we got the one we've been eyeing for a good price and the ottoman too!! It's the extra big plushy one that reclines and swivels. It wasn't cheap but it's so comfy and we picked out colors to match our current furniture so it can go with everything once it gets moved out of the nursery...

At first I thought you meant an engineless plane type of glider! My jaw literally dropped open!

The hospital where I'm going to deliver has tons of classes, even for daddy. We will start seeing what we want in October.

La mere - coconut oil sounds lovely and nourishing. I may have to look in to that.

We have signed up for a national childbirth trust class which is one evening a week for 6 weeks. It starts end of October. I think we also get some classes on the NHS, but I think It's a bit hit and miss as to whether they are any good.

 

[Poppy84]

I've signed up for a nct class too. Expensive but aparently they r really good for making friends. Mine start in November

 

[ARuppe716]

We're doing a newborn and a breast feeding class in November and ten a full day Lamaze class the first week of December. Hospital recommended signing up no later than 6th month...

 

[mellywelly]

I'm not really wanting to pay for classes, especially if they are expensive, incase they say they have to do a c section again. And it looks more likely that my works may run out of funding after next April and we may have to close, so cant just be throwing money around.

 

[Soniamillie01]

Mine are free from hospital. Don't know how good they are but will give them a go x

 

[mellywelly]

I think my hospital is useless compared to everyone else's!

 

[ARuppe716]

Our classes are pricey but since it's out first I wante to do them. I was hoping insurance would pick them up but they aren't covered. However I did find out that as of January 1st breast pumps are covered so were taking ours of the registry and waiting til the final stretch to get one free!!

Your insurance pays for breast punp?!?!? I need to find this out!

The NCT classes are expensive, but a few of my friends have done them and said they were really good, especially for meeting people. The good thing is that hubby gets to go to all of the classes, whereas with the NHS ones my brother only got invited to one before his daughter was born. Plus there is one whole session on breastfeeding which should be interesting.
