It's funny how much of a big deal buying a pram is!! do your oh's totally not understand it? My OH and my dad can't understand why I want to spend so much money on a pram but they're a life saver when you've got a decent pram and you have to do quite a bit of walking/getting in and out of cars etc!

Ljo- We have a teeny renault clio campus at the moment so our major spend this time is going to be a people carrier too, eep! Have you seen anything you like so far?

Anyone have terrible restless legs? I need help in what to do for it

oh god yes!! and its terrible isnt it???
Any one any advice on this?

17 weeks today.

 

[zebadi]

Morning ladies,
Hope you all had a lovely Easter break. I certainly did.
Had gender scan on Saturday.. We are Team......

Can not beleive it.. Exactly what i wanted. Am over the moon!!!

Love the announcement video, so sweet!

I've been getting a lot of headaches too, didn't know it could possibly mean girl. It'll be interesting to see how many girls there are from the ladies suffering from headaches at the moment

What people carriers are you ladies thinking of? We had to get a new car a few months ago as our other one died and as we were ttc for number three we took that into consideration and got a Honda frv and we both love it! It has 6 seats and a huge boot but it doesn't look like a people carrier if you know what I mean lol. We've also had three carseats in the back already while babysitting and there's plenty room! So glad we got it.

In still waiting for my 20 weeks scan date, I hope it comes soon! I'm phoning the mw today as I don't have a 16 week appointment yet either, hoping to hear the hb then too as we haven't heard it yet either.

Happy 17 weeks zebadi and congrats on team pink!!

We got a Nissan quashqai +2 it's a 7 seater. I love the boot space, as the two rear seats fold down. It's nice to drive-panoramic roof which the kids love, built in sat nav, cheap to insure, reverse camera and cruise control(never used that, but dh likes it)
We also looked at Volvo xc90, but insurance was insane!

Was in my friends vw Sharon the other day, and its got built in booster seats, so I thought they are pretty cool.

Zafiras seems big hit amongst bigger families too

Congrats on Team pink Zebadi

Appointment went well - she said that my headaches were down to hormones and, they should disappear soon. BP was perfect, iron levels were super high, urine was perfect, and she found baby's heartbeat straight away. Was amazing!! So happy

Sister Rose- We're thinking of getting the oyster max or icandy strawberry. OH got rid of his fiesta when we found out I was pregnant and bought an audi a3, at least that was his excuse lol. Has a big boot though so I don't mind.

Zebadi- Happy 17 weeks and congrats on team pink!

CharlieKeys- Glad everything is okay, hearing the heartbeat was amazing for me too

Hope everyone is doing well x

Any one any advice on this?

Mentioned this in my last post but it was a long one so it may have gotten lost in the shuffle. Try a bar of soap in between your sheets at the foot of the bed. I have heard this before and just googled it.

Apparently no one has any idea why this works but people swear by it! Worth a try maybe According to the comments on that link certain brands of soap work better than others. Good luck! I've always been curious about if this really works or not.

I'm also wanting a new people carrier for when the babies arrive! We have a mini van and have enough seats for everyone but trouble is there is zero trunk space unless the back seats are folded down. Thus if we have all the kids with us there's no where for the stroller to go! Not going to work well. So I'm wanting to look for another van or svu that has the seating and trunk space. We shall see. DH isn't as fussed about it as I am. Of course! Men. Lol

I've been taking the low dose aspirin for about a week and a half now and my blood pressure has been getting so much better. I've also been cooking a lot more meals instead of eating out. When I was at the OB on the 11th, my blood pressure was in the 140's/high 90's. This morning, it was 115/77. I could not be happier right now and everything with this pregnancy is going great. So much better than my first pregnancy.

Looks like team pink is starting to catch up with team blue now. Happy new weeks to everyone!

I woke up on my belly this morning, yikes! I hate when that happens. I'm already starting to get uncomfy sleeping! With my first I didn't have a belly until like 25 weeks, this time my bump popped over night!

I fell asleep the other night on my belly on accident.. I don't usually sleep on my stomach either! I sleep in pretty much every other position throughout the night now though. Back, left side, right side. It's been hard for me to focus on just the left side because I get this weird feeling in my chest when I sleep on that side, always have! It makes my heart pump harder and it gives me anxiety. Gotta do it for the babes though!

Hubby's looking at ford c max. All I'm bothered about is the colour ha ha oh and that it has reverse sensors!! . I have a ford fiesta at the moment so love ford and happy to get one of those, I love the grey/gunmetal colour. Mine at the moment is purple I'll miss it lol.
Are you looking at any particular model yet? X
