Thought it was time we had a new home, seeing as we've almost outgrown the old one. So in honour to Scorpio, Sybil, BB and toomuch (hope I didn't forget anyone ) here we are - in the company of pregnant (and cheerful) ladies

I'm still tempted although DH and I did have a chat about how much money it costs (for a buggy)

DH and I went to mothercare to look at the prams and as we were looking at the bug a lady with one came by with the car seat on it - I said to DH "that's it with the car seat" and the lady stopped and said to us that she'd not recommend it. I asked why and she said it was heavy and expensive and that she was already looking at a cheap stroller. (I'd guess her baby was under 3 months) She also said all the extras add up and that you'd easily spend £1000 on it all. She said given her time again she wouldn't have bought it. Just passing on her comments.

Hey Kensgirl yes... the Bug is the only one for me

Went shopping yesterday girls and saw a couple of xplorys... and dh said "not as nice as the Bug are they?" So looks like we are set on the pram... just need the baby to plonk in it

kensgirl · 12/04/2008 10:46

Hi there! sorry I've not been around for a bit, my laptop wouldn't power up, but its fixed now. Dh is out for the day today, at Twickenham so I have the day to spend with my mum and sister so that should be lovely!

Great news about the IVF starting this cycle Nomore, I have everyhting crossed for you, those 11 weeks will fly by...

Good news on your scan Toomuch, you can start to relax a bit now,

Hi there gilly! I have incredibly lax on the shopping front and so far only have the pram ordered and the moses basket . I have bought a few little outfis, and some baby toiletries, oh, and a steriliser... I'm curently looking for a cot, either walnut or ivory, with a drop side, but can't find one yet. glad to hear your treatment is moving forward too xx

I''m glad you have the wise decision toreturn to the Bug, Ready, and agree with what you say about the ease of it to use, I too compared it to the Silver Cross and the Stokke Xplory.

Scorpio...I can't believe you are still here!! I thought I would be wishing you belated congratulations, not too long now. Maybe.

I'm 26 weeks now, and so far have gained a huge bump but only about 9 or 10 pounds in weight, so not too bad. I'll have to get dh to take some bump shots to keep, so far I don't have even one. Like Sybil, I'm hoping for a smallish to average size, not too eye poppingly big, it already feels like a bowling ball, but my mum is convinced its going to be a fat litle baby boy

Hope eeveryone is Ok , sorry if I missed anyone x

Good news nomore about your ovulation - clomid seems to be an unknown quantity really, hopefully it will do the trick .

mistlethrush it is all so frustrating at times when did you have your mc?

It was positive in that it made me ov though - although according to the scan I had yesterday at the IVF clinic I'm capable of doing that myself

mistlethrush · 11/04/2008 14:40

Hi Poppy, hope Clomid goes well. Just been told that there is no reason for mc - and that their usual treatment options - asprin or hormones - aren't available due to allergy and past history!

I took 6 months of Clomid but it didn't work for me (don't know if that's what you wanted to herar really..) Ask me any q's if you like though

Hello guys - have been lurking for a while. Looks like so much is happening, can't remember if I knew that toomuch was prg!!! And Scorpio due!! How exciting the year has just flown by.

I had HSG - no problems and now have started on clomid! Anyone else in same situation? Or has anyone had any positive experiences with clomid? Would love to hear if you have as need some cheering up.

Good luck with those babies ladies and am sprinkling more baby dust on the thread

PiggyPenguin · 11/04/2008 13:37

Happy due date Scorpio! I don't think I know anyone whose baby actually arrived on their due date - maybe you will be the one!

I am going out for dinner tonight with a group of mums for a friends fortieth and it is going to be exhausting! I will also be the only one sober by ten o'clock which may well be very amusing if a little bit annoying...

scorpio1 · 11/04/2008 11:24

Happy due date to me,

Ready · 10/04/2008 18:30

Bloody hell Scorpio are you still waiting!

mistlethrush · 10/04/2008 10:21

Come on Millie!!!! Go girl!!! xxx

scorpio1 · 10/04/2008 09:20

I went abroad to Menorca at 14 weeks when i was pg with Jamie, but to be fair i don't have a history of mc or difficulties so was fine for me.

I'm due tomorrow

mistlethrush · 09/04/2008 23:03

I wouldn't go abroad if Pregnant - just really on the basis that, should something go wrong, I would for ever be wondering whether, if I hadn't flown, things might have been different... but that's just me, post mc pre ds... But I do know lots of people that have been fine.

Didn't mean to put the dampners on your holiday, just thought you might like to ask the clinic for advice. The IVF clinic told us not to travel abroad after the treatment (they told us this on our last visit to make sure we didn't book anything)

Great news about your tubes Gilly Are you sure going away in June is ok? We've been advised not to travel after the IVF (don't know if the fact IVF is more invasive is the reason, but you might want to check with the clinic)
toomuch Can't believe you've seen your baby!

Scorpio Hope you don't have to wait too much longer. After the fastest pg in living memory she's taking her time to arrive!

Scorpio - she's not come still? You had us all going last week then! I was very glad when ds arrived early, so I imagine that you're feeling very fed up. Hope that she makes an appearance soon

Thanks for the positive thoughts everyone. Have had a good day so far as I've been on a course so done hardly any work!

Ds wasn't great last night - I think he's having a growth spurt as he's ravenous and very tired. He was too tired to eat properly last night and we had quite a few tears for various reasons - then he woke up several times because he was thirsty - and took himself to the loo at midnight and wanted more water (and a help with wiping!) but he was very impressed this morning as dh and I had put together his playmobil farm (4+ ) that he got for his 3rd birthday last night so that he can play with all of it properly rather than losing all the little connecting bits before we put it together....

scorpio1 · 09/04/2008 13:32

Had MW appt today, Millie is as low as she can get, MW can only feel her shoulders!! Feel like everything is active today....wishing i think though.

TooMuch - are you sure you are 12 weeks?!?! congrats on good scan.
