I've know what travel system I want before I got my BFP too, Stokke Xplory! With all the extras lol. I love their whole range really and also Bloom high chairs. Can't wait for all that, just fx I get there with this bean.

Cupcake what about a phil and teds - they do the doubles pack and they are fab. My friend swore by hers. They are expensive but worth the money in her opinion. Hers lasted 3 kids and 6yrs!

I was a pram slut fanatic; I had about 15 different ones I think?

The ones I can remember are 2 Gracco travel systems (a basic one and a deluxe one), a chicco pushchair, 2 mothercare jives, a maclaren xlr, a maclaren quest and more lol. I love prams! I have my next one picked out already for the first year then I know I will get another maclaren when the baby is older as they are amazing and so compact and lightweight!

I had a Winnie the Pooh Hauck travel system!

Hated it hahaa!

I then brought my Quinny and LOVE IT!! :D best pram EVER! But they don't so doubles :( :( :( so going to have to find a double pram that's just as nice. Then buy a car seat separate

Cupcake92 · 19/08/2014 15:13

I started buying at about 10 weeks lol. Only because we had come into some money then and thought its best to use it on baby stuff, so we got bottles baby bath things nappies wipes a steriliser and a set of plastic drawers to put them all in. Haha we were too eager! Then at our 16 week gender scan we then started buying clothes :) the last couple of months were when we brought the big things like a cot, Moses basket and all that.

Let us know how the scan is Michelle

And lilla sorry to hear ur feeling bad :( :( I expect also that ill have a uti as I get them through pregnancy. Horrible aren't they :( hope u recover very soon!!

Aw bless Ducky! :) I love mw appointments!! I find them exciting :)

Ducky23 · 19/08/2014 15:10

Mine is a 'travel system' and tbh I'm not too sure what it means haha Grin

LuluJakey1 · 19/08/2014 15:08

No, it's not the money Iam, it's excitement Smile

I have agreed we can go on Friday and buy some stuff but only sleep suits qnd things like that, and look at some furniture and cots. He is online at John Lewis as we speak looking at furniture and doing research on 'travel systems' whatever that means. Grin

Ducky23 · 19/08/2014 15:04

Just had a mw appt, he's still in there Smile

Ohh cupcake it's booking day tomorrow GrinGrinGrin

With buying things we started after 20 wk scan so we could spread the cost, wanted to be prepared Grin

Good luck Michelle Flowers

At booking here you just make a mw appt and theyn ask how many weeks you are when you book so they know how long to make the appt for you. They also scan at the hospital nearest as it's in our town; whereas with DD1 I got scanned at a small medical centre as it was about 30miles from the hosp!

Lulu I bought a little outfit at 12wks then nothing else until after 20wks. If he's worried about affording it all, we put a bit aside each week so we had a larger sum to buy more at once iykwim Smile or if he's excited then I don't know what to suggest lol!

Cupcake good that you're still feeling sicky! Good luck with your booking appt, same to Siarie Flowers

Hope everyone else ok - I just called CB to check that they'd received my first load of pee samples, which they have, she asked how i was getting on and if i'd had my peak. When I said I hadn't she has said to start testing from cd8 next cycle to see if I ov early and to contact again if I don't get peak in next cycle. My second box is going out today and I've nearly filled my second lot of pee samples lol

I should add that it seems perfectly normal, today is about the time AF would be due and it's light pink, brown mixed with CM really. But you can't help but just wonder can you?

Siarie · 19/08/2014 12:56

I've got a little bit of brown discharge today, it's funny how such a small thing can prompt a really panic response isn't it? I know that brown is fine though, so just hoping it doesn't go red! I'm only 12dpo still so very early, but pretty sure I implanted early at 4/5DPO so it should have had some time to settle in by now.

Michelle51012 · 19/08/2014 12:48

Thanks everyone, aw that's rubbish lil hope it clears up quick, do I need to drink water the way u have to for 12 week scan ?

lillamyy1 · 19/08/2014 12:38

Thanks Michelle, I hope everything is fine, I'm sure it will be.
Well I'm very poorly, got a UTI. Started having tummy pains and cystitis last night and (tmi) horrible diarrhoea Sad called 111 and they sent me to a walk in at 1 in the morning! DP was really sweet and came with me and paid for the taxi, although this morning he was grumpy about it and refused to go to the pharmacy to get my antibiotics for me Sad Still feel really sick as well so feeling very sorry for myself today.

LuluJakey1 · 19/08/2014 12:29

When did you buy clothes and proper things for DS Cupcake? I feel it is a bit early but DH thinks we should start looking now while we are on holiday. It feels like tempting fate.

Cupcake92 · 19/08/2014 12:22

I agree lulu! My boobs are hurting and tingling today as well. I am feeling pretty positive about it all tbh :) just hope next week comes around fast. Seems to be dragging atm!

LuluJakey1 · 19/08/2014 12:04

Glad you are feeling positive Cupcake- it is certainly sounding positive with all the sickness and exhaustion sounds stupid but she will know what I mean Smile

LuluJakey1 · 19/08/2014 12:02

Michelle, hope the scan is good news. It is early days to see much on a scan but as Cupcake said they might see something.

Good luck Thanks

Cupcake92 · 19/08/2014 11:54

Well I thought I was 8 weeks this week but scan suggested I'm only 6 weeks this week. But I dunno. Won't know for certain until my 12 week scan.

Michelle51012 · 19/08/2014 11:41

Thanks cupcake, I'm 5 weeks at most I think so I could be less, how far on are u ?

Cupcake92 · 19/08/2014 11:36

How many weeks are u Michelle?
And like they said don't be worried if u see nothing, at my scan I only had the gest sac and the yolk egg. But I'm pretty confident I'll see baby next week :)

Cupcake92 · 19/08/2014 11:23

Hope all is okay for u Michelle :( keeping my fx crossed.

Michelle51012 · 19/08/2014 11:16

Lulu that's just men for u lol especially 1st time round lol, just back from docs I've to go to maternity hosp at 2pm & they are going to try scanning me but warned might not see anything as it's so early but if they don't they will go by bloods, can home from docs & the discharge is a darker brown now (tmi I know) Sad praying with everything in me that my little bean is ok

Cupcake92 · 19/08/2014 11:10

Oh right! See my midwife does all the forms with me. Strange how it can be so different in different places :)
Oh wow! A birth centre with double beds???!! I'd lie to go there!!
