SweetieTime · 29/08/2013 16:51

Well done Keep good time for a new list. I think it will be touch and go who sneezes first out of me and you. I am getting really big, the last 2 weeks I have had a real bump spurt.

Can I ask a really stupid question of the Mums? Well here goes anyway - Bepanthen is that the same as Sudacrem? Are they both nappy cream? Thats all, not sure why this has sprung to mind but hey ho.

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 29/08/2013 16:57

Yes, I believe they're both a bum cream, some think bepantham is better than sudocrem, but I tend not to use either. I don't use cream on a daily basis, I think is just rubs off on the nappy, if there is any nappy rash then I swear by metanium!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 29/08/2013 17:02

Just had a fiddle with it Keep. The list that is Wink How exciting!!

Munx how is it possible? 1?! Already?! No way!!

Thanks for the lovely words brookers. Yes Solars, two weeks tomorrow till the next scan Smile

SweetieTime · 29/08/2013 17:03

I knew you would know Boo thanks I thought they were but didn't anticipate the curve ball you have thrown into the mix of no cream. You are such a maverick Wink

NoMaybeAboutIt · 29/08/2013 17:12

I still use sudocreme! It's great for spots!

RubberBullets · 29/08/2013 17:35

Only use bum cream when there is nappy rash present. Nappy change is take nappy off, wipe bits, new nappy on. If it is a dirty nappy then throw poo in loo and then throw liner and wipes, else just chuck nappy in bin if disposable and bucket if cloth.

keepitgoing · 29/08/2013 18:07

Have you been working from home again today after the scan, maybe?

sweetie I keep thinking I'll be early. No reason, just worrying. Are you going for a c section? I read I my book that 50% of twins are born before 37 weeks. Which means 50% aren't...

Let's cross our legs and see who holds on the longest i won't be pleased to win if I go over though...

Yes, I have been reading the section on labour. Only just plucked up the courage! :)

keepitgoing · 29/08/2013 18:08

Hey, tis only 3 weeks till the meet up! Grin

ThedementedPenguin · 29/08/2013 18:13

Just fixing the list.

Penguin 8+5 weeks with Pingu due 5th April
Maybe 10+2 weeks with Fin due 25th March
Solars 15w2d with Sunbeam due 18th February
Trix 19+5wks with Treats due 18th January
Sweetie 22w2 With dib and dab due December
Keep 26+6 weeks with Kip due 29th November.

maybe great to hear how well your scan went.

I send the metanium advice. I don't use nappy rash cream until its slightly red. I only use metanium it clears it up so fast.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 29/08/2013 18:27

Thanks Pen!

Yes Keep, I was. Have finished for the day now though Smile. I'm so tired! TFIF tomorrow!!

What are everyones plans for the weekend?

keepitgoing · 29/08/2013 18:40

I have my FIL coming to stay, and we're going walking I think in the Peak District. He hikes loads up mountains and things, but he is 82 (!). So who will be stronger - a fit 82 year old or a 27weeks preggo. I think me. DH is unsure - rude!!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 29/08/2013 18:57

How very dare he Keep Wink. Sounds like a busy weekend planned!

keepitgoing · 29/08/2013 19:00

Yep, should be good. how bout you?

NoMaybeAboutIt · 29/08/2013 19:06

Out for dinner with my bro and SIL tomorrow, but MrM is working Saturday so not sure what will be happening!

cartoontrickster · 29/08/2013 19:08

maybe great news on your scan!
mines on Monday. eek.
weve got an exciting weekend of cleaning and gardening planned.

Solars · 29/08/2013 19:29

Keep spot on for me with your list! Wow you fil sounds very fit. How's it going with reading about the labour, is it scary?

Maybe I too am still tired, I thought I was supposed to have more energy in the 2nd trimester!

Wow Munx 1 already!?!

I've been doing some yoga now so I'm feeling a lot better for that. We have my in laws coming over on Saturday so we're going to the zoo as niece will be coming along too and then a meal in the evening. I'll probably be sleeping most of Sunday as I'm sure I'll be tired after Saturday!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 29/08/2013 20:32

Ah, that sounds lovely Solars! I rejoined the gym last weekend and have been a couple of times. I feel so good for doing it, and then have to rest the whole day Grin

Thanks Trix not long till Monday!!!

keepitgoing · 30/08/2013 08:58

solars I didn't find my energy picked up till about 16 weeks, when I stopped needing to nap after lunch every day just most days That was when I realised my low level food aversion had gone as well, so I think the 13 week barrier is a myth.

The reading about labour is ok. I suddenly had a panic that if i went into early labour i wouldn't have a clue, so at least now I feel a bit better about things. Not that that would be my primary worry if i did go into premature labour! but you know what I mean. Every time I read or think about it I do tend to cry though. I kind of just cant' wait.

I agree about exercise, it always makes me feel so much better. In fact, I have the Tracy Anderson pregnancy workout dvds which have one for each month, and I'm really enjoying them. I'd be happy to send the earlier months on to someone else if you wanted them. Stretching makes me feel so much better. I think they're pretty good.

maybe lovely, I hope that now you can begin to relax about everything. It's so great to have a good scan at 10+ weeks. Though I know I didn't think of myself as having a baby until well after the 13 week scan, just as being pregnant. Maybe it's self protection, I don't know. Anyway, 2 weeks'll fly by now!

trix Monday! Golly gosh, I can't believe you're halfway through already :) I hope you're not too nervous about it - the chances of things being found wrong at 20 weeks are really very low.

sweetie i just joined the boots parents club or some such, mainly for the free changing bag. Get you with your detailed questions about nappy cream, I'm very impressed!

I fear I have another boringish day with workmen in, and the cat crying in the other room to be let out, and the water turned off. So I'll be around if anyone wants to entertain me!
