Thanks for heads up jen x

Girls i have af type cramps!!! Feel like im having ur af type symptoms an i have an abundance of cm!!! Help anyone else? I checked heartbeat all good but cant help but worry !! x

 

[hopeful23456]

davies- are you sure they aren't round ligament pains? they would be where your bikini line is, on the right and left and if you press there, it makes it feel a little better
or constipation pains....

 

[croydongirl]

Davies I had some of those yesterday - I think for me they were either ligament pain or because I was constipated. Had a nice BM last night to clear things out and haven't had any more since! ha ha
Hope they stop and you can feel better.

I have a question for any of you ladies thinking about cloth diapers. Do you know which brand you are going to get? They are such an investment so we want to make a good choice, I just wondered if you had any experience from friends. I have heard good things about bum genius. Anyone else thinking about it?

 

[daviess3]

Thanks hun hope im the same! Im off to local for curry night! B back soon!! xxxxxxxxxx

Just got back from yoga. Delightful. Next up, lunch and a nap!

Seriously Puppy, where did Fili go?? She's leaving us hanging!!!

Davies, what do the cramps feel like. I often get all over dull aching of my entire uterus. Very different from round ligament pain which I feel sometimes when I stand up or sneeze. I've come to realize that it must be my uterus growing. I don't get worried about it anymore. If you were having contractions, you would know it. You could feel your uterus contracting and releasing with your hands. I think you're fine.

Croy, I'm seriously considering cloth. As a preschool teacher I used to change both kinds. Cloth were pretty easy. You must have some experience with them too. I saw a thread on the Second Tri about which were the best brands. I can't remember what people said, but I bet you could find it. I haven't done any research on what brand I want yet.

Hopeful you are a shopping fiend! Love it!

Look what I just bought in yellow: https://www.bloomingbath.com/blooming-bath-baby-bath.html

It's such a good idea for bathing a baby! It can be thrown in the dryer too.

omg heart, that is soooo cute! i saved the link to it. i really wish you girls didn't live across the country, would be so much fun to shop together

 

[Embo78]

Come on Fili don't leave us hanging!!

 

[heart tree]

Hopeful, you should get it. Babies get very slippery in their little tubs. This gives them a nice cushion. Plus it's adorable!

 

[croydongirl]

I love it!! I love having you ladies to share all the fun shopping with. I know my hubby will be excited about some things, but I know he will have a limit! Plus the things that bring him joy will be the video monitor and other gadgets! Not really what I am excited to shop for .
It won't be ling before we can share pics of our nurseries!! Mine is still an office at the moment, but it will be changing once we now what colour to paint it!

Hey Croy :wave:

We use cloth atm with Laura.

<<<< you probably guessed from my pic.

Bumgenius are good but expensive. Don't buy any of the packs that are like £300, that's a complete waste of money.

I can recommend Tots Bots bamboozle stretch nappies and then you'll need wraps for them (they usually come in a pack of 4-6 with one wrap but you'll need more wraps) - these are absolutely awesome and well worth the money. Plus you can easily sell these after because they're like rocking horse sh*t. Size 1 is for babies, size 2 for probably 6months plus.

You'll probably want 25-30 nappies as a minimum to last you long enough to wash and have some there to use.

Some councils also give grants to residents for the use of cloth (might be worth an ask).

ummm... what else? We use Wee pickles (look on FB) for some cheap pockets (nappies you 'stuff' with bamboo/microfibre inserts - they dry quick so good if you have no tumbler) - they're about £4 a nappy.

Pockets for day, wraps (they're called fitteds) for night or long trips.

Ooooh you can get reusable wipes too which are so much cheaper.

Ok I'm getting a bit over-excited now

absolute love that blooming bath thing heart! thanks for sharing!

 

[heart tree]

You are most welcome! I think we should all share cute things that we find in case someone else want to buy it too!

OMG! I love that! If I have a girl I'm totally getting one! That's awesome!

 

[Mom2mmcjg]

Croy, I use cloth but I sew my own. I use pocket diapers, mostly, with microfiber inserts or prefolds with with a wrap. They are so cute! As soon as I find out what I'm having expect lots of pics of my new diapers!

 

[daviess3]

Heart I love the bath! Lol! My ache was dull ache like just but like early af but felt lil constipated everyday plus was hungry! Feel fine now I have eaten! Think was growing pains! Thanks for advice! Treated myself to a coke at pub was lovely got home listened on my Doppler lil one going bananas! Love it! X

 

[daviess3]

Sorry to sound silly but I don't get it this whole nappy thing? So u reuse them? Where do u put what's in it? Lol down the loo? But surely these nappies must stink? Even if u wash everyday? I have ultra sensitive nose all nappies must go in bin outside at my house? Sorry to sound wierd but I don't get it? Can we explain how they work? Are they better for baby?

Feeling my tummy move!! So exciting! X
