Hi Ladies
Good luck Genies Girl x
Elmaxie - the midwife said it's highly likely the baby would just turn back so they would prefer just to perform the ECV once if necessary. There is still so much room in there I think her feeling was it was better to wait until the baby is bigger although she did say they would ideally want to do it before the bum get's engaged because then they would have to push the baby up and turn it rather than a straight turn.
Lilia - our dog likes to sit in the window and had got into a bad habit of barking at anyone he didn't like the look of. It started off with him barking at people approaching the house (which I didn't have a problem with) but had started to progress to him barking at anyone wearing a hat, baseball cap or sunglasses (not ideal in the summer). Our dog is a Basset so very much pack oriented and also he's all about his nose as they have a supreme sense of smell. We have a baby gate separating the kitchen from the rest of the house so every time he displayed unwanted behaviour i.e barking, jumping, stealing things etc without a word he get's taken out of he room and put behind the gate. At first he would cry or bark when he was put behind the gate but he soon learnt he wouldn't be allowed out until he was sat quietly. It took about a week of having to do it every time, (Basset's are notoriously stubborn) but now he is behaving so much better. We don't really have a problem with him jumping up at things apart from the sofa which he is allowed on anyway. We have set our crib etc up and we allowed him to have a look around it and sniff at it. Now he completely ignores it, the biggest challenge is cuddly toys as he assumes they are his. To be honest I've been really impressed with the way he has adapted. I agree with Aurora, it's just a case of being consistent and firm although I think you have to adapt depending on the breed. I grew up with GSD's and then Labrador's and I can tell you that training a Basset Hound has been an entirely different experience altogether.
Mrs N - I'm not really Team Yellow, I know what I am having now but before I knew I still bought quite a lot of neutral vests and sleepsuits in Newborn and 0-3 although I didn't spend a lot of money on the neutral sleepsuits as I thought I would be more likely to use those at night rather than during the day when I'd probably want the baby to wear more gender specific colours. I then ended up being given tons of newborn stuff (nearly all white). Of course I then decided to find out what I was having afterall so have bought some newborn but mostly 0-3. I'm fairly certain that unless I have a tiny baby I won't get through all the newborn I have but I'll just sell it or donate it to the charity shop. I've asked my family to buy the baby 3-6 months as I have only bought one 3-6 month item. My family don't know what I am having so although my Mum and Nan have bought a couple of neutral bits I think they are itching to spend when the baby is born.
I've been to Breasfeeding Class today - it was really helpful and I learnt some things I didn't already know. I got a bit irritated as there was quite a young girl there 18 ish with her friend, she turned up late, didn't contribute and was texting on her phone during the whole class. Honestly, apart from the fact that her behaviour was extremely bad mannered, why waste her time and everyone else's if she didn't want to be there?? I find it so hard not to be judgemental in that sort of situation.
So sorry to hear that... 
I was quite happy being pregnant and just enjoying my DD
