Cgav I understand that!! I'm suppose to be on bedrest until delivery but have been running around the last couple of days due to the dentist thing. It's like we don't have a choice and its hard becuz we can't be moving around! I don't know how I am solupposed to do my one hour next week when I'm not supposed to stand or sit for more than ten minutes! Oh goodness the madness! I can't do anything but laugh lol it's the best medicine for me.

AFM- have consult with endodonist on Monday to see if I have to get the surgery right away or if I can wait until after I deliver.... I'm on penicillin right now and if it works it should keep the infection away for another couple of months! That's all I need is just a couple more months and I will deliver then if I have to. I'd rather so it then versus anytime soon.

I need help/advice please girls. So confused!

I'm looking at change bags on Ebay, but there are SO many to choose from and I really don't know what I need. Which is most useful/practical?

Most are standard 3 piece, which have the main bag, change mat and bottle insulation thing.

Then there are others which have a big bag, a small bag, change mat, bottle insulator and a messy bag (what's a messy bag?)

I don't want to buy more than I need, but I don't want to have to buy extra bits either. What have you all got? Or what have you used for previous children?

I'm not bothered about designer or anything!

Help!

I just got a standard diaper bag at Babies R Us. I am not into these designer purse things at all! They cost a fortune and seem to be a big hit but I don't get it. LOL Mine has everything I need so that's what we did.

 

[ILuvBabies200]

Those are some cute bags! You having a boy???

 

[Tournesol]

Yes we're having a boy. I thought these ones looked really good value though. I don't care if it's designer, some of those are SO expensive it's unbelievable. But if I'm going to be carrying it around every day, I'd like it to be a bit funky

What sort of bag have you got?

 

[manuiti]

Thanks for asking that Tour, I've been wondering the same thing...

 

[Courtney917]

I just got a regular bag with changing pad. I always get the larger insulated bottle bag that holds 4 bottles. I like the new bags but they're so expensive I just cant justify spending so much money! I rather buy a nice handbag for myself instead lol.

 

[padbrat]

Yup mine is fairly standard too... just with changing mat in a natty zebra print. It is good though as it came with hospital emergency kit like a baby grow, hat, mits, toiletries for me, nappies and wipes etc.

 

[padbrat]

Wahoooo 30 wks for me!!

 

[Tournesol]

Where did you get your bag from Pad?

Congrats on 30 weeks! Time is starting to fly now isn't it? xx

 

[padbrat]

Hey Tour... I am on the Bounty website and they send you deals on all sorts of things and the changing bags were one of the deals. It is well worth joining and I have got a few things from there.

Plus it should have cost £30 and it was discounted to £19.99.

 

[MizzPodd]

I got a simple one too but I honesty didn't like it after a while because it was a flap over. So just make sure you get one that zips so you won't risk the chance of stuff falling out. I'm going to get a new one that Zips this time.

Congrats on getting to 30 weeks pad!!!!

Two more days til 28 weeks!!!! OMg it's so unreal to be getting this far when we thought we would barely make 24 weeks. Can't wait for dentist appt tomorrow and then next appt on Tuesday. I rpray I don't have to get the surgery right away!!! Keep fingers and toes crossed for me please!

 

[manuiti]

Got everything crossed for you Mizz!!

And congrats on 30 weeks Pad - hard to believe that this time last year this was all just a dream for us.

 

[cgav1424]

Pad - wahoo! 30 weeks chick!!! Less than 10 to go side you'll most likely be induced early, right???

UK girls, I have a quick question for you. The Cosatto go lightly carseat/pram/pushchair. Anyone heard anything about it? I'm in love with the print, but want a good quality and functional stroller!!!

Hubs got his bonus check on Friday, handed me the credit card and said "Shop. A lot. Buy whatever the baby needs. Buy whatever you need. Just start shopping." I can't bring myself to buy anything for this little one yet! It's like it's still not real to me! What is wrong with me???

 

[EMTAmanda]

I past my gestational diabetes screening and as of last Friday we are 30 weeks!!!! I had a dream last week that I delivered at 30 weeks and Ive been having lots of Braxton hicks today! Both the boys didn't want to come out so I'm sure she's fine and I'm in no pain at all. Just TIRED.

 

[ILuvBabies200]

Gah! Contractions tonight! Had to break down after almost an entire week and take the Procardia again. OB tomorrow... Actually I have appts all week! I'm 27 weeks today and just taking it week by week.

 

[Tournesol]

I ordered a bag! the 3rd one on the list I posted. I also ordered some super cute bandana bibs and a moses basket!

Cgav, I know what you mean, I only just started buying stuff in the last couple of weeks and it still doesn't feel real to me. Even with a big belly!

Good luck at the dentist Mizz. I hate the dentist!

Good luck with all your appts Iluv, I hope you can keep those contractions at bay.

 

[EMTAmanda]

I had contractions all day yesterday and then had a dream I was delivering last night! Lol I'm sure she's just playing with me though I had braxton hicks from 18 weeks with both boys.

 

[Tournesol]

Good positive attitude Amanda! Atta girl!

I keep getting little twinges, but no BH yet...


I need some more baby stuff advice please! Baby carriers. Any of you getting one or got one already? Again, there are so many to choose from. Which is best?
I like the look of this one, it looks so cute and cosy...
