Yes my friends were both pregnant over the summer so no jumpers etc but hopefully I won't need them!
I think i'm waiting till twenty week scan and gender before buying any clothes. I'm starting to pram browse...need something that is compact as we both have small car! And something good with off road country lanes!

JethroTull · 24/02/2013 21:02

Thanks for remembering Faith. I'm very nervous. We have spent the weekend relaxing in a very posh hotel & eating nice food. It's definitely helped me to calm down, I had a meltdown on Friday morning & was convinced it was all over. Just crossing my fingers that we hear a heartbeat. I might start to believe it's actually real then...

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 24/02/2013 21:03

My car is a vw polo (we have purchased a Vauxhall Vectra estate for MSB since finding out I'm diffed which is essentially a boat. It is in fact larger than the can he used to drive for work!) so we needed something fairly small ourselves. We chose a babystyle oyster - it's wheelbase folds in half rather than concertinas. Have a look at the thread I started here for the options that might work for you.

OP posts:
bluer · 24/02/2013 21:06

Ah I have a polo and he
Has a fiesta! I saw the oyster and thought it might be good!

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 24/02/2013 21:23

It was the best price we could get although we looked closely at the Graco Evo too. We spent ages pushing them round the shop, folding and unfolding. Decision was made when I couldn't put the Evo back to its upright position! :)

My friend suggested a baby jogger or a quiny but I haven't looked at either yet! Will go to the pram centre next weekend I think!

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 24/02/2013 22:02

Quinny buzz will only fit in the boot with the wheels off. I had visions of it pouring with rain while I wrestled trying to get it in the boot and it put me right off! Baby jogger is definitely an option. Definitely go to a big pram centre - we went to Kiddicare - and ask their advice and try a few. Avoid mothercare - they will try to sell you a Mothercare pushchair! Even though they sell the oyster they never suggested it to me Confused

OP posts:
bluer · 24/02/2013 22:06

Will try the big pram centre I think...may put Mr df on the task as he loves comparing stats etc!

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 25/02/2013 09:50

Oh MSB is like that blue! Does his research! He got bored with the travel system though...the Which? Website is quite good because it gives you the folded sizes online.

Anyone want to go into work for me? No?! Only 20 shifts to go...

JethroTull · 25/02/2013 18:31

Had 8 week scan today. Saw an actual heartbeat!! Could make out a head and arms too. It was amazing.

So I've been discharged from the private clinic and am now just an ordinary differ Grin Grin

bluer · 25/02/2013 19:44

Congratulations jeff! That sound is amazing isn't it! So happy for you! Proper pesh now Grin

blonderedhead · 25/02/2013 20:43

How wonderful. My doctor said an 8 week scan is the best indicator of a successful healthy pregnancy. Nothing to beat seeing that heartbeat. Congratulations!

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 25/02/2013 21:04

95% chance of a successful pregnancy! :) does it feel more real now you've seen an actual baybee with a head and everything?

OP posts:
EuroShaggleton · 25/02/2013 22:08

Brilliant news Jeff!

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 26/02/2013 12:51

So I waddled in to see the GP today. I am in a right state if I'm honest. Every time I walk I get womble cramps and what appear to be contractions at times. I took some wee (as you do, they are obsessed with your wee when you're diffed) and it was positive (I knew it would be, I did one at work yesterday) so I'm on antibiotics. He suggested I take some time off to recover given that I'm now 32 (!) weeks pregnant. My sickness record is awful though so I'm already dreading my return to work! Confused

OP posts:
EuroShaggleton · 26/02/2013 13:29

Doesn't pregnancy-related sickness have to be treated differently by employers?

I hope the anitbs do their thing soon. Rest up.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 26/02/2013 13:40

I am hoping so. If I wasn't diffed I'd probably be ok to carry on at work whilst taking the antibiotics. At this point of diffedness though I'm not taking any chances so maybe it is different? I'm already bored but CBA/can't stand the discomfort when I move so Buffy it is :)

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 26/02/2013 18:34

Oh dear, I am stressing a tad. GP rang to say he cocked up by not checking my blood pressure today (I did wonder afterwards!) so can I pop into the surgery tomorrow to get my BP checked but he's confident it's a UTI because my urine dip had protein in it but mainly because the 'leukocytes were glowing'. Cept my leukocytes are always flagging in my urine dips because I have so much discharge Hmm. My feet have BESH increasingly swollen in the last couple of weeks (I can't get my boots on any more). I am a bit paranoid that if my BP is high tomorrow they'll say I might have preeclampsia?! Soothing words please!

OP posts:
bluer · 26/02/2013 20:40

I don't know much about blood pressure etc but try not to worry...easier said than done I know. My mum had it with both pregnancies and me and my sis were fine so I guess it may be possible to be mild iyswim?
The worry never ends does it? I read something on here today about sticky blood and miscarriage and now i'm paranoid that I haven't been tested add fat add I know. I must stop looking online. I must stop looking online.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 26/02/2013 20:45

Nope I don't think it ever ends...even when they turn 21! :)

OP posts:
bluer · 26/02/2013 21:13

It's what all my friends tell me...not helped by fact i'm a natural born worrier!

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 26/02/2013 21:22

I have generally relaxed more since the 20 week scan though. I was quite well and contented through most of my second trimester. :)

OP posts:
FriendofDorothy · 26/02/2013 21:41

I worried all the way through. If I wasn't worried about bleeding I was worrying about pre-eclampsia.

It is the one thing that puts me off being pregnant again. I want to enjoy The Little Mister, but I am scared I will have a horrid pregnancy and miss out on so much.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 26/02/2013 22:15

Then again dor, you might find you're so busy with the Little Mister that you don't have time to worry! Especially if there's a small age gap :)

Pickle just punched me in the bladder (I presume punched if she's head down). It was really quite unpleasant!

OP posts:
blonderedhead · 27/02/2013 09:58

There is always time to worry.
