That's awesome phantom! Do you get to see the twins or get updates/photos of them or is it closed?

I get pics and updates occasionally. I don't see them which is totally fine with me. They are not my bio-babies. I was just the oven

That is great phantom! Love that you are helping other in such an amazing, life changing way!

Aww thanks! It's kind of an addicting feeling. I knew I was gong to do it again before I even delivered the twins!

Hey ladies, I have a random question. After EXTENSIVE research when dani was about 6 months, we decided to extended rear face. we plan to rear face until about 3-4years. for those of you in UK, whats the law regarding rear facing? I know in Sweden its law to rear face until 4. I'm kinda a car seat nazi now. I read a story of a baby who was ff at 10 months, that was in a car crash...who has now passed. I feel very strongly about rf.

So how long do you plan on rf?

 

[atx614]

I haven't done much research yet, but I am sure I will as she gets bigger. We are rear facing for sure until 2, maybe even 2 and a half cause she is on the smaller side. The only thing that makes me feel bad for her, is we are in texas, and it is soooo hot. I turn the air on full blast, but it is hard for her to feel it cause she is rear facing. I really hope to get a van or suv with ac in the back before this lo is born. My car will be cramped with two car seats and the trunk space sucks. I can barely it a dinky sinle stroller, no way a double will fit.

If I get a different car I will rear face longer for sure. I know it is safest.

YAYY!! The noggle my dear! Look it up!!!

 

[Rachelle351]

I had a small car too. I had a vibe. I eventually had to trade it in for a suv. I now have a vw toureg. and its a beast. Itll def fit my double stroller!!

 

[atx614]

Thanks! That's awesome, looks like a pool noodle, lol.

 

[Rachelle351]

Yes ma'am! I'm up in washington, so it doesn't usually get that hot up here, but on this website I'm on, I learned about it. I hope you look into one! =)

 

[atx614]

Already ordered in pink damask! They had so many cute patterns it was hard to pick one!

 

[Rachelle351]

Thats great! Soo glad I was able to help!!! I am a huge supporter of rf. I get so mad when people ff before the right time. I know someone who ff at 4 months. Yes, I did say 4 months. No, I'm not kidding. I tried EVERYTHING. I literally mean EVERYTHING to get her to change her mind. But first she's 19, so 'its her kid and no one is gonna tell her how to raise her kid" (well actually car seat safety has NOTHING to do with RAISING your kid, but I digress) thankfully he's a little over a year old now and he's never been injured in an accident. She got into an accident, but decided that her sons life is less important than spending the money (yes, she could afford it, cause she turned around and brought a brand new car, not only that but insurance would have paid for a new car seat UGH) and didn't buy a new car seat. she's just VERY stupid, and ignorant. I hope that baby never suffers for her stupidity. Ugh. makes me sick to my stomach. SO ever since then, Ive become really compassionate about it. I hope that keeps little girl safe. Whats her birthday btw? Danica's just had hers aug 31. =)

Hi ladies! Just found out I'm expecting baby #4! Due may 15th according to a few calculators. Nervous to tell anyone! I just started a new job and terrified of their reaction! Baby was definitely not planned. Hoping for the best though!

 

[yazzy]

My daughter is rf and she is just over 2, I plan to rf until she is 4.

For anyone on baby #2 or more are your symptoms different from your first pregnancy?

I'm probably a bit paranoid because I had a mmc before my daughter but with this pregnancy my boobs seem to have lost their soreness?! I still feel nauseous, exhausted and need to wee more but concerned about the sore boobs disappearing? I won't get a scan til 12 weeks.

 

[Picksbaby]

I'm in the UK. My daughter has been in a forward facing car seat since around a year old, before that she was in a maxi cosi. And I'll probably do the same this time around.

 

[THart]

We switched to the front facing at year as well as she reached all the requirements.

I can't belive someone would turn their child at 4 months thought we were in a bad accident when li was 2 months. A drunk driver took us from behind and put us in the ditch and totaled the vehicle. NY baby was the only one who came out uninjured and I do think it was her seat cause they are designed to take the impact and being rf she didn't get the jerk we did.

Hey ladies,

Can I very cautiously join.

I got a surprise BFP 3 days ago with baby number 2, but I haven't had a period since June just has the odd bit of spotting, so could be anywhere between 13 weeks and 6 weeks.

I had a pre term loss in February and my son died during labour because of how small he was, he was our IVF miracle baby. I had another surprise BFP and a miscarriage at 6 weeks in May.

Keeping everything crossed this one will stick, I'll be having an operation at 14 weeks on my cervix our first big milestone is 24 weeks every week after that is an added blessing, we are preparing for another premature baby.

I have a scan on Tuesday to see how far along I am and get me booked in with the specialist anti natal team and ready for my op.

It's going to be a long few months for us!
