January 2014 (thread 8) Half way there just about! Finding out pink or blue

[BuntCadger]

New thread for us, can't believe another one filled! Half way there girls :) on the homeward stretch :) xx

mrsg its important to relax and take time for yourself while you can! Glad you are getting the chance to do something for yourself that you enjoy.

extra that is super impressive! Wish I had the patience to create something like that....

Just tried looking up aquanatal classes and pregnancy pilates and there are only a few to choose from and I would miss half of them due to work, so think I just have to motivate myself to do more swimming. I did buy a Davina pregnancy exercise dvd but I cant find it.....doh!

Darn it ladies, how are you fitting in all this knitting and crocheting n Pilates??? And you ladies in the "we are gonna get peed on" club, you crack me up! Congratulations too!

I have just t-cut the car plus lacquered some of the scratches and it doesn't look so horrific now. Go me!

This morning we went to our first ever NCT nearly new sale down by Bagshot. Apparently it was one of the small events. We were late but still did pretty well bagging a bunch of coat hangers with bears on, unopened pack of bodysuits, changing bag, brand new Benneton quilted jacket plus a bunch of other stuff for not too many quids. Could get used to this!

And then we went to Camberley and found some lovely sofas we want for the front room.

Groovy. Time for a cuppa. Then onwards and upwards to work on the nursery!

Just took my mum to look at the pram and we ended up buying it and the car seat and isofix base! Went for uppababy vista in wheat and the maxi Cosy pebble in confetti!!! With family fix base too. All for £800 very happy!! :)

Wow tooth! Must find out when there is a nearly new sale near us!

mrsv yay for the uppababy vista! Snap! We want to get the maxicosi cabriofix rather than the pebble but I forget why.

Good shopping everyone! I had my hair dyed and then met a friend at the local outlet centre. Managed to come away with just one dress. I am rubbish at shopping!

I signed up for aquanatal classes, but I can't go unless I get a letter from the consultant on Tuesday. Midwife said she didn't think she should write it before I'd been to the hospital. So no exercise for me. Hurrah!

sultana cabriofix is slightly lighter than pebble but I found pebble comfier to carry

I looked for aqua natal classes in my area but couldn't find any. Where have you all found them?

Mine were Puddleducks mrsv, looks like they are all over the country so might have something near you. They were free as well (£20 admin fee I think, but still not bad for 10 classes!)

Sorry I've not been around, all!

I've been in hospital. Contractions and threatened premature labour. I'm home now, although on sofa bed rest. Contractions still continuing but they don't appear to be doing much except causing me pain, so I'd rather be at home.

I've tried to read back but nothing's staying in!

Eek, toby, that sounds traumatic.

FX for you. Hoping it all gets fixe and that you get to go home soon and continue your pregnancy smoothly.

Oh, toby :(
I hope your being very spoilt!

Oh gosh Toby that sounds traumatic. Hope it all settles down pronto!

Oh dear toby must be awful.

Blimey tony, how scary. Hope it all calms down soon.

All 16 fingers and 4 thumbs crossed for you toby hope you're feeling better soon

Oh Toby! You are the second to have something similar! Thats no fun! Do they know what triggered them? Virtual hugs, hand holding and cake coming your way.

mrsv I just googled "aquanatal" in my area and it brought up a couple.....

Thanks all. They think one of my fibroids is degenerating and that's what's causing the contractions. It's absolute agony! Every 5 minutes, day and night.

Those cuntpuffin fibroids toby! Are u doing OK apart from being in agony and I am sure totally exhausted?

Thanks book just had a look and they don't do antenatal in London/ Surrey. All the ones I found you have to also pay for the gym membership too

I'm ok, thanks for asking. Worried, in constant pain and yes -- knackered!

toby big hugs, how scary for you. Have you got anything for the pain? Have they said the contractions will subside eventually?

MrsV I just discovered the same thing. So annoying...

Oh toby, that must be very worrying, bloody fibroids. What are you allowed for the pain?

Found this site for aqua-natal classes MrsV, they list some in London and Surrey.

Toby cant even begin to imagine how you are feeling. Have they said they will just subside by themselves?

Sorry to hear that Toby!! I hope you feel better soon.

I've had a horrendous day, my 16 month old niece (dh's side of the family) fell out of a window from a block of flats 5 storeys high. Been in hospital all day as she's in intensive care. Feel so sorry for my sister in law :( everyone keep your fingers crossed please.

Dh is going away on Monday to start a new job so now he's worried like mad but knows he has to go.

Sorry havnt had a chance to catch up and am writing from my phone . I hope everyone is doing ok!!
