Hi Ladies
Carley - I looked at the Peach and the Cherry before I ended up going for a Brio Sing. I really like both of them. I would say think seriously about whether you would use the Peach as a blossom in a couple of years time? I initially had the same thought but then reasoned that by the time (fingers crossed) I have another baby there will probably be a new system out. Also, buying the converter is pretty expensive on top of an already expensive pram. Personally I think a Carrycot is essential for those first few months although I know some people don't bother. On the journey front my Uncle had the same problem - he lives in York and most of my family live in Dorset. They have never done the trip without an overnight stay and York is a good few hours short of your journey to Scotland. Perhaps you could persuade Dave's family to come and visit you when the baby is born and then perhaps you could go there in the New Year when baby is a little older? Just a thought.
I've got my 22 week appointment with the Consultant tomorrow. I'm a little bit nervous, not sure why. Maybe I'm just anxious that my weight will get raised again. If it does I shall swiftly remind her I've lost 3kg since 9 weeks and that the anaesthetist I was referred to couldn't understand why I was there as I'm "not even big". Blood pressure is still on the low side of normal so they can't use that against me either. I was talking to my Auntie about it last week, she's a Sister in a Casualty department and she told me she thinks it's disgusting that people aren't allowed to enjoy pregnancy any more. In her opinion you are lectured over the smallest of things and the risks are constantly exaggerated. My MW has been okay so far, although she is a little "old school" in her approach. However, I must say the MW's I met in the Maternity Unit last week couldn't have been lovelier and I would definitely prefer one of them there when I give birth rather than my own. I guess it's just the luck of the draw on the day you get admitted?
