wapphighwood childcare costs are probably not going to be an issue for anyone who earns over 100k a year 😂 I guess just knowing that there is that provision out there may be a help for someone and if its something they really want to take up then they can look for a setting that does offer it.

Congratulations briggs Smile There definitely seems to be a lot of boys arriving in January! Grin

Victoriaaaaaaaa · 10/08/2017 11:25

@millsbynight

We've got this one - www.pramworld.co.uk/mamas-papas-sola-2-4-piece-bundle-plus-cabriofix-black#.WX4z2nPTXqA

MissyJones80s · 10/08/2017 11:25

Oh and congratulations on your little boy news Briggs18

Waitingonasmile · 10/08/2017 11:27

Congrats on team blue briggs!!

I was away so couldn't attend an appointment at 16 weeks. I had seen consultant about 14 weeks so the midwife said to just come back at 24 weeks. Seems like ages away but suppose I've got anomaly scan in between.

Is anyone else going to attempt vbac? I'm so undecided about what to do about elective or vbac.

Maybebaby2 · 10/08/2017 11:40

We got this bundle on the bounty offer. It was £595 for the travel system, car seat, auto fix base, high chair and crib. They do different colours but we went for the grey, we can brighten it up with accessories when we know what we're getting Smile

Disinterested · 10/08/2017 11:45

I have my 16 week appointment today and somebody above has mentioned a foof check?! I am not prepared for this?! Say it isn't so!😂

peachgreen · 10/08/2017 12:16

@Disinterested I had mine on Tuesday and there was no foof checkage! Though she did roll my knickers down quite far to press on my pelvis.

klaw87 · 10/08/2017 12:18

Congratulations on the boy Briggs!

They definitely did not check my foof at my 16 week appointment... blood pressure and wee yes but no foof..

When do they start checking your foof?! I'm not sure I'm prepared for that just yet!

They did also listen for heartbeat but I think this depends on the midwife x

Waitingonasmile · 10/08/2017 12:28

Flaw87 well I got to 35 weeks last time and there was no foof checking at midwife appointments by then, but can't help any further on than that.

Maybebaby2 · 10/08/2017 12:30

There was definitely no foof check at my 16 week appointment! 😂 Is that a thing now? It wasn't when I had ds an age ago, the only foof checking was when I was induced! Really not sure I'm prepared for any foof checking prior to being in labour 😂

Victoriaaaaaaaa · 10/08/2017 12:33

Foof checking?!😳😳😳

klaw87 · 10/08/2017 12:40

Okay I feel a bit better now thank you waiting and maybe 😳😂

MissyJones80s · 10/08/2017 12:54

Yes def no further foof check at my 16wk 😂

Decaffstilltastesweird · 10/08/2017 13:01

Congratulations on the baby boy news briggs!

No foof checking till my sweep at 40 weeks last time.

I've just bought a second hand Stokke Xplory from eBay. It's a bit unecessary really, as dd's old pram still technically works ok. It's just really worn out looking. We've had to put black tape round the foam bit of the bumper which sits in front of her and the foot break is really stiff. That's my story and I'm sticking to it Grin! I think I'm going to give my old one to charity and start using the new one immediately for DD. It also comes with a free buggy board, which will be great for when the baby arrives, so it must be fate Wink.

ElleMcElle · 10/08/2017 13:03

Just blood pressure and urine test at my 16 wk appt... so desperate for 20 wk scan, particularly because I haven't felt any movement yet and don't feel very "pregnant" at the moment (apart from visible bump!) - Was tempted to get a private one, but just over 2 weeks to wait now, so that seems a bit OTT...

Disinterested · 10/08/2017 13:03

Thanks for the reassurance ladies, I'm glad my foof can remain in hiding for now!

laurelloves85 · 10/08/2017 14:38

Hi All! I'm a bit late but I'd love to join the thread - I'm due 9th January with my second baby, my DS is 2 years 4 months.
Private gender scan tomorrow - so excited! I've found this pregnancy a lot harder than last time but I'm putting it down to less sleep and less opportunity to rest!

Emzwell · 10/08/2017 14:50

Nooo foof check! Haha when I had my son I didn't get it out until I was in labour lol they used to check internally in ye olden days I think haha x

klaw87 · 10/08/2017 14:58

Hi Laurel! Smile

Is anyone else suffering from erm.. inappropriate wind?! As in the middle of Asda and.... you get my drift! Is this my life now?! Foof checks and wind... Confused

Waitingonasmile · 10/08/2017 15:11

Hi laurelloves! Do you have any intuition about what you're having? I'm also due Jan 9th. Definitely agree about it being harder with a toddler. DS is also 2 and I feel exhausted by lunchtime. I can't imagine having a third any time in the next few years.

millsbynight · 10/08/2017 15:13

klaw sometimes I think the baby is moving... and then I realise it's just trapped wind Blush

Thanks ladies for sharing your deals! Might have to nudge the grandparents to head out soon.

Anyone else just not feel pregnant AT ALL? I definitely felt pregnant with DS as I was sick everyday throughout but this time I've been fine since coming out of 1st trimester (another reason I'm convinced I'm having a girl this time).

I have energy, I'm eating normally, back to eating sweets and stuff... I actually forget I'm pregnant until I have to dress myself in the mornings and realise things don't fit anymore.

Iamchanging · 10/08/2017 15:20

I'm having a girl Mills and am still sick so not sure that one follows! My bump "popped" out the other day which makes me actually feel pregnant but still no movement!

millsbynight · 10/08/2017 15:28

Everyone said I was having a girl when pregnant with DS as I was so unbelievably sick for so long. Then he was born a he!

I guess every pregnancy is different and even though I was seriously suffering in the 1st trimester I should count myself lucky it's stopped now.

I've definitely got some sort of a belly going on but still just look rather plump. I'm waiting for my "popping" moment!

OP posts:
Owl1011 · 10/08/2017 15:36

I've got my 16 week appointment tomorrow and had a minor panic that I'd have to run to the beauty salon later! Grin

Decaf fun you should say that I've been thinking about second hand prams as they are so expensive but fallen in love with a particular one so wanted to check out second hand. Not sure what to be aware of when buying second hand though? Confused

You're further along than me but also waiting for the pop!

Owl1011 · 10/08/2017 15:37

@millsbynight sorry that last bit in my last post was related to your post, forgot to tag!
