The weight does say 7lb8 but I thought for a first size then it can't be up to 7lb8 as that would be a bit small and a lot of babies would be too big for that. So I though maybe it meant it would fit them around 7lb8

It's ok if they grow out of them quickly, just don't want to be sat in hospital with a baby that can only fit in the vests and cardigan. I think i'll pop a couple of up to 1 month in the bag that will stay in the car incase I need to stay in longer then if it's a 9lb+ DH can go get them.

horsey - i'm the same. I can pack PJs and a pair of joggers but I can't pack any tops or going home clothes as I need to wear them now. I'll just try keep on top of washing so I can grab stuff when I need it

Agreed Detective it was because DD was long that the newborn baby gros didn't last her long. You have to be so careful that the feet of them don't pull on their little toes, best a bit too long than a bit snug

Just go to your mums. And tell them why! Shame him in to growing up a little!

I had to tell DP's mum and sister about him staying up til all hours and not being awake enough for when I need him. He was suitably shamed. I hope! Well, he isn't going to bed too late anyway!

fatima, on names of similar ilk to Nico, DS is Arlo. There's also Milo, or Jago, or Theo if you like the 'o' ending. Prob others! We do get asked 'where's that from' a lot, I think people think it sounds a bit continental, but it's just a name we liked :)

Yes, it was always the toes Kissy! I found DS's toes were always squished in M&S grows!

But he did, and still does, have exceptionally long feet!

Yes it's bizarre. It just says 7.8lbs and not up to 7.8lbs so difficult to know what it means. I think you are right fatima and that it should fit a baby around that weight.

Dixie I love Arlo! It won't go with our surname though

Dixie I have a Milo, Leo and Theo in my family!

It appears that baby has turned from ROA yesterday to LOA today. This is good right detective? According to the spinning babies website anyway.

Yesterday evening DP looked at my stomach and we could see the exact line where his back was. We watched him squirming and my belly move as he turned. Then today I've noticed he is definitely kicking me on the right now instead of the left.

Right off for a veg in the bath. Turning my phone off, bad missmummy wants him to worry if he can't get through... No news on yw - she was at 4cm at 4pm and noone's heard anything since so assume she's still on the island! Hopefully seeing her dsis tomorrow afternoon so fc we get some exciting news then! Will no doubt check in again later when insomnia hits!!

Yep, its good Apple!

My mum suggested today we could call this one Milo, but thought Arlo & Milo might just be a bit too much!

Yay Feels really weird being kicked on the other side when he has kicked me on the left for months and it was so strange how we actually watched him turn!

Crikey how exciting for yellowwellies! I hope she has managed to hypnobirth that cervix to 6cm so she gets her island birth.

Tea for me was cottage pie. Had it for lunch as well. Yummy.

Parenting class today was 'different' birth. The midwife is lovely but not the best teacher. She seems to want us to lead it but doesn't give a clear idea of what should be being covered. As my Dh said 'I don't know if I have questions because I don't know what I don't know yet. ' Made perfect sense to me.

I got another call today advising me about needin iron supplements but nothing yet about a possible UTI. I would find it unlikely I don't have one considering my greenish discharge. I will chase it tomorrow.

Mm I'd go to your mums!! I'd go now!! Andnot turn my phone on!!

Dh poorly. He's gone to the spare room and is trying to stay away so I don't get it!! I've bought him loads of tissues, night and day stuff etc. Then given him olbas oil to help him breath. He's having his flu jab this weekend!! He's just very run down :( and gets frustrated that i (touch wood!) get few colds, but he gets loads. I think it's because most of my exercise takes place outside!!

Yep horsey your immune system is likely to be pretty high functioning. Hope he gets better soon.

As for your DH MM you are a more patient lady than me. Maybe spending a few nights with your mum would be a good thing. Not in a sort of stomping off to your mum's kind of way but just to get some breathing space. Enjoy your bath and get a good night's sleep. You have people you can call on if you need anything - his loss if he was to miss something.

I should really stop watching anything that makes me laugh.

I'm fed up of stinking of pee and running to the loo for another pad change!

My pelvic floor was ok... I thought! I did my pelvic floors as well! Clearly not enough!

pass still got green discharge? Have you mentioned that to a medic? I would think more vaginal infection than UTI.

See VQ I am not even sure if it is green. I will call the doc tomorrow if I don't hear from a midwife. I need to pick up my prescription anyway. I have no other symptoms at all - not even the pee, stand up, need to pee again. It isn't white but not sure.

How was your pre-op thing today?

I hear you detective. I need to stop laughing, coughing, sneezing and trying to do just one more thing before weeing.

wow another thread and another baby, good luck YW, hopefully she's had the baba by now!

Fingers crossed we got our flat rented today, a nice couple have agreed to take it but I can't bank on it until they have signed on the dotted line!

I'm all tucked up in bed. It's been a long day. Thank goodness for my dad tho he's taken care of DD for most of it.

Was looking forward to a big rest while DD at nursery tomorrow but I had forgotten that I have antenatal clinic at 10.40am so I won't get home til goodness knows when! They always run very late. Hoping they at least give go ahead for induction at term cos then I know I only have 3 weeks of pain left. Was induced last time at 39+2 and DD born at 39+4 so not that scared of induction. Id welcome it. Worst part for me was the bloody huge venflon...a grey venflon, why was grey necessary?? Any medicy people??

That's good to hear Izzy as I am due for my induction tomorrow. My efforts to smoke the baby out (not with actual smoke) have been fruitless. Had another sweep today and mw said my cervix is soft and short, and the baby is in the right position so fingers xed it all goes smoothly.

Wishing everyone the best of luck until I'm next able to check in. Thanks for the support.

I thought they determined the colour of the venflon used by how big your veins are? I could be wrong but I always have a child's one in

I hope you get a date for induction Izzy were you induced last time for SPD/PGP?

O. Goodness 200 posts before I even mark my place.
I'm so lucky I don't have to do anything but look after baby. I have mil to take him when I want a sleep. My mum comes over to help. I am blessed. Oh no I'm having a hormonal moment lol. Yet I still can't keep up with u guys. Must start to multitask.
