@Assumeitwassomethingclever we have the silver Cross zest and love it - no carry cot which we did get quite a lot of use out of last time for daytime naps downstairs but I plan to use the baby box for that this time. Silver Cross are lovely quality - my Mum had one for my brother then me too which I kinda love the continuity of!

@HidCat when I was pregnant with DS I went to a Michelin starred restaurant and requested that my poached egg be fully cooked! Bless them, they did it. So glad I can enjoy runny eggs this time round.

Anyone here got any experience with iron deficiency developing later in pregnancy? My bloods from the first trimester were fine but I am increasingly struggling with short breath, and I've noticed this now comes accompanied by a much increased heart rate. I did not have this with DS, not to this extent. However with DS I was taking pregnancy multi vitamins, and this time round after discussing with the midwife I have elected to take only vitamin D. As I am vegetarian I am wondering whether my breathing and heart rate issues might be due to anaemia. I will ring the midwife tomorrow but just wondered if anyone had any thoughts?

In more hilarious news, DH, whose friend's partner is due to give birth in six weeks, asked me whether we had any baby stuff we could pass on to them. Must confess I did look at him as though he was mental, and wondered aloud whether he remembered that we are expecting a baby ourselves in 17 weeks?!

@BadBadBeans I'm largely veggie too so have been pretty careful on taking a daily iron supplement. My midwife recommended vitamin D only too but the consultant obstetrician recommended a full vitamin spectrum so I'm going with that! My iron count is actually higher than it was with my son when I was still eating meat daily so I'm pretty happy with that, although I may turn into a spinach leaf soon!

Hehe - men are hilarious!

@BadBadBeans I'm vegetarian and after doing some internet research I've been taking iron & omega supplements

@angelmiracle your recommended pillow arrived yesterday morning so I tried it for the first time last night. Whilst it’s huge it was comfy! I used a pillow too but it gave me neck ache this morning so I’m going to ditch that tonight. Do you always wedge it between your legs or do you rest your leg over it? Hard to explain what I mean so hoping this makes sense! DH slept great as it stopped me from heading over to “his side” so he was pretty pleased about that!

We’ve also been maximising the early Black Friday deals and bought a whole set of nursery furniture from Mamas and Papas for a really good price. Just need to decide on what mattress to buy so keen to know what other peoples views are.

@Badbadbeans I developed anaemia with DS which was picked up at 30 weeks got prescribed ferrous fumarate which did bring it up. I was definitely breathless but hadn't checked my heart rate then. Had PPH after delivery and needed blood transfusion and more ferrous fumarate.

My iron levels were within normal range at 10 weeks booking in but on the lower end at and having breathlessness and increased heart now too. Midwife said they'll be checked at 30 weeks again but I might look into taking Floradix soon.

@firsttimemumjess1 glad you found it comfy. Yeah I'd another pillow with it too but can manage without one as noticed neckache too. I hope its not giving me this sore shoulder! And yes I know what you mean about the position with legs lol. I start off putting it between my two legs when I start off sleeping on my side but through the night it usually comes out when I'm trying to sleep half on my tummy so my leg is then over it 😂 Glad DH is happy too

@angelmiracle Lovely scan pic!

@Hidcat How annoying about that burger, I would have gone mad.

I had a proper rage on in Lidl today. Been quite hormonal the past few days but I wonder if it's to do with tiredness as I have been working a lot and not sleeping well. I asked the man at the checkout twice not to put my stuff through until I was the other side so I can pack it, he looked taken aback the second time! The people in front of me wouldn't move out of the way of the conveyor and the lady behind was barging me with her basket! It's a struggle enough to load the shopping and pack it with a bump without people being ridiculous but maybe it's just me being grumpy!!

We've been given loads more baby clothes by some friends, girl stuff this time. Three bags and I had to press £20 on to them. Very lucky.

I'm still genuinely annoyed about that burger lol.

We've taken to plunge and gone with the silvercross pioneer. I popped into John Lewis today and was persuaded by the lady who works there not to get the simplicity car seat as everyone returns it complaining that it doesn't support baby's head so we're going to get the maxi cosi which is also compatible. Holding out for a sale though? They had £200 off the pram and we had £300 in vouchers as wedding presents so it cost us less than £400 in the end. Very chuffed!

Just in case anyone has missed it, with regards to Black Friday deals, John Lewis have £135 off selected prams when you buy a Maxi Cosi car seat at the same time. We wanted the Uppababy Vista pram and the Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus car seat, so I think we might take advantage. Hopefully it might be helpful for others.

Still a week til my midwife appointment where I can chat to her about my anxiety. OH has said he'll come with me.

I'm really worried that I'm going to contract toxoplasmosis. I filled my water bottle today and had it in my bag ready to go to work. my dog proceeded to push past me in excitement to leave the house and I think touched the top of my bottle with her nose/mouth. It's one of the bottles that are reusable and so the mouth piece is exposed (but kind of folded down if that makes sense).

Didn't think anything of it until I've got to work and drank from it then remembered about the dog. She'd not long since (5mins) had her breakfast which has dry kibble and some meat in it and she had been out for a wee and as all dogs do decides she absolutely must sniff around it afterwards for some reason.

Now I'm worried that either wee germs or meat germs got onto my bottle and I've drank from it now? So baby will get toxoplasmosis if I get it.

I so want this baby but I absolutely hate being pregnant. My anxiety is still through the roof and I'm constantly worried that I've harmed the baby despite trying my best to be careful. All of the anxiety and energy lost seems to be for nothing because no matter how hard I try, I always make some mistake like this.

Hoping the midwife will put me at ease next week, in the meantime do I have anything to worry about? Baby is kicking me now and all I feel is guilty for drinking out of this probably contaminated bottle no idea how I'll get through the next 16 weeks

Hi @melissa112
I would really try not to stress out too much. Your baby is passed all of your immunity through the umbilical cord through pregnancy which keeps baby nice and safe in there. It also prepares baby's own immune system for when its ready for the outside world and gives it the kick start that it needs . even if your dog had of licked the water bottle all over I'm sure no harm at all will come of it. In fact dog saliva actually has an enzyme called "Lysozyme" which breaks down the chemical walls in bacteria (sort of neutralises it) and the antibody "IgA" (immunoglobulin A) which directly attacks bacteria. That's how dogs and other animals can heal their wounds by licking them and don't get sick by sniffing really yucky areas etc. Pregnancy can be a very stressful time and you may find yourself fixating on things which can make anxiety really wear you down. If you feel that it's affecting you then you could give your midwife a call and tell her you need to see her sooner, or your gp would definitely be worth paying a visit to. X

@melissa112 have you thought about phoning IAPT to self-refer in the meantime, perhaps? It might make you feel more in control if you know you have taken a tangible step to getting some help? I know my anxiety is still very bad, but I'm feeling more in control now I feel that I'm taking some action to change things.

I understand how you feel. I desperately want my baby too, but also hate being pregnant. My mental health feels a bit like it's on a precipice these days. Logically, the likelihood that you'll have contracted anything from your water bottle, even if your dog did touch it, is miniscule to none. But the nature of anxiety is that no matter what any of us say, you will still worry about it. In the last week I've obsessed that I might have lip cancer, bowel cancer, melanoma, something wrong with my eyes and that DH was having an aneurysm rather than a simple migraine. Nothing anyone says alleviated my worries once I'm in that spiral. In reality I'm more than likely perfectly healthy, and DH is absolutely fine now too, but my anxiety brain isn't rational and has an unhealthy addiction to Googling symptoms.

Even if you need to phone your GP or community midwives, I really would do this today rather than waiting to see your midwife next week. It's a step to taking back some control and it's not fair on you for you to carry on living like this for any longer than you have to.

Hello.

I'm new to Mumsnet and I hope you don't mind if I join this thread.

I'm due 12th March with my first baby - a girl.

It is great to find a place where I can chat with other people and pick up some advice/tips along the way.

My pregnancy up until now has been fine but just been diagnosed with Polymorphic Eruption of Pregnancy. That is tough to deal with and apparently won't go away now until I give birth. Currently off work and not sure if I will be able to go back before maternity leave starts at Christmas.

@melissa121 I'd echo what's been said above about talking to someone sooner rather than later, if your appointment isn't until next week. Really glad that your partner is also coming as then he can support you and ensure you get across how much you've been struggling with the anxiety as in the nicest way possible, this isn't normal and you've recognised this and are seeking help... you deserve it.

In terms of buying baby stuff, do you have a Which magazine membership? We've been using their best buy recommendations as a starting point as it takes away a lot of the "guess work" which has made it much less overwhelming.

We had our JL baby appointment yesterday - would highly recommend it to anyone who has one near them as it was good to have 2 hours where you were forced to talk about babies!! And also meant that we came away with a firmer idea of what we want to buy new and what we want to get second hand... and all of the things we hadn't budgeted for but clearly need like a mattress cover and sheet! Our lady was very honest about products people were returning, what we didn't need etc.

On the subject of cot beds - she said that all of the JL ranges (cots & cot beds) are identical and there's no difference between them other than whether you want a sleigh bed style, slats etc at the end. My husband specifically asked what the pros and cons were of the different types and she said it was purely aesthetics so if we weren't bothered about paying extra for the design then we should just go for the cheapest one and spend the money elsewhere.

And @march19 - welcome!! wow.... you seem to have been dealt a rough hand recently, particularly if all has been fine until now!! Can I ask how you found out about it? As in, did it come on really suddenly or was it more gradual?

@cardboard33 It came on quite suddenly. I went to bed with a tiny rash on the back of my hand. I had itchy ankles but could see no spots there at the time. Woke up the next morning and the rash was all over my arms, my ankles and feet. Over the next few days it progressed up my legs and onto my lower back. Apparently this usually starts on the tummy but mine is clear. Incredibly itchy and uncomfortable.

@march19 wow, that's really scary that there weren't any warning signs before then... and now you've got to stay off work! (which I realise is probably the least of your worries right now, but still) ... I assume you've got various creams for your skin, or can they medicate in some other way?

Thanks for all your replies, both about my anxiety and for the great advice about cotbeds etc. I will ring the midwife tomorrow. I haven't had a break today at work and just got in from leaving at half 6 this morning. My work made a colleague redundant and has given me basically all his work in the last week as well as my own. On top of that my mum has a lump and has been put on a cancer pathway? I'm not sure exactly what that means as the biopsy was inconclusive. She has to have it removed at the end of the month so they can test it properly and rang me in tears today. I can feel it all getting top much. I'm worried for baby, worried about my mum and just hate hearing her sound so upset, with work on top I just feel like I can't breathe for worry.

@SharonO225 thank you. I know deep down that I have nothing to fear from my big clumsy dog. I've had her nearly 11 years and I hate myself for thinking of her as something to worry myself over. I love her to bits. I washed the bottle and feel ok about it now but I think at the time it just got on top of me.

@toastfiend thank you for sharing your worries too. Google is awful isn't it for suddenly diagnosing you with something awful. I wish I had any words of comfort. Have you spoken to anyone about your anxiety? I will have a look at the IAPT too, thank you

@cardboard33 yes I'm glad my partner is coming along. I think he's finding it hard to know how to comfort me. I definitely can recognise that it's not normal, but yet i can't turn it off either if that makes sense.

I haven't got a which subscription but have been considering one as we want a tumble dryer so would like to see what they have to say. That's good to know about the cotbeds! It's so refreshing to have someone so honest helping you out rather than trying to sell the most expensive. Sounds like a good experience.

@march19 hi and welcome congratulations on your baby girl. Sounds like you have had a rough time of it, that sounds very scary!
