September babies thread #6 - half way!

[easterbuns1]

New thread!

Uff my nappy delivery didn't get delivered by DPD because they didn't have my name down as a contact, wtf. We always get deliveries left for us in garage cause we live in a safe village. So annoying, i was so excited.

Just tried leggings and a top I got in Lidls. I actually really like them. Don't find the leggings see through at all and did a bend over test to my husband who said they weren't see though. This is medium 12/14 and top is medium 14/16.

Those aren’t the type I have. Maybe a new range! Might have to go look tomorrow!

Yeh. I do have the stretchy/silky leggings with the pink Aztecy print, are those the ones you mean? I also got these tops. I tied the grey one at the back and think it looks better than just loose.

Oh my other photos haven't appeared, have they?

Oooh that Lidl kit looks really nice!

People who are already mums - how much did you use a carry cot with your pushchair? I don’t have room to store one and it feels like a big investment for just a few months. Could I get away with car seat that I can put on a pushchair system and a sling?

I have always used a carrycot loads. For all day time sleeps. Love just being able to layer up blankets and take baby out still asleep if need be! It is a must for me. Some carrycots collapse to be stored and others can actually turn into the main seat unit although i have never owned one of these myself.

Really sore with the spd today and still two more days at work to go this week. Feel like i am walking like an old lady

Sorry to hear about the GD struggles stroan!

Welcome to new people

We dont have a lidl

I recently bought some long line vest tops from Next, and would recommend them. They come in about 6 colours and are two for £11. They arent maternity, i bought a size up and they are a great fit with plenty of growing stretch. They have more length and stretch to them than some of the actual maternity tops i have bought!

Hello ladies!! Cold knocked me for 6, bank hol was a write off really and have never quite managed to get caught up with you all - finally have now!! Glad to hear everyone is doing well, for the most part.

@BridgetJonesDaiquiri my placenta was noted as low lying at my scan - 19 + 2 but I went back yesterday at 21 + 2 and it's already moved so much that they wouldn't actually have classified it as low lying if they'd done the scan yesterday - I was worried too but apparently 9 / 10 do move.

We made a snap decision in the scan to find out the sex.... but bubs wasn't on board and well and truly had their legs crossed - the lady said to try going for a walk but we took it as a sign and stuck with our original decision of kit finding out, I'm pleased actually- it's just so tempting when you're there!!

Yesterday afternoon was spent flat pack building - still have a little to do but nearly there! Then I'll be able to move everything out of the office and into the nursery to take proper stock of what we've got.

@BridgetJonesDaiquiri Yes I’ve got a low lying placenta as well, which surprised me as I didn’t with DS (and it was a vaginal birth). The MW feels confident it will move, and as someone else mentioned, it’s really only a problem if it’s actually covering the cervix. Fingers crossed for both of us. They’ve booked me in for a scan at 32 weeks, which seems like an awfully long time to wait to find out!

@excitednerves Can you find one second hand? Or could you resell one for a decent price? Unless you have a lay flat car seat, it is advised that babies should only be in the seat for 30 minutes or so at a time (seems very short to me, but that’s the advice).

@barberstreisand welcome we are due date buddies!

@twittlebee I did cry and was caught by a lad who worked for me up until today... cheeky bugger asked if I was upset he was going but then brought me a chocolate and asked if I wanted a walk at lunch! It was early and I felt rubbish all day till I saw DD this evening.

@kyles101 We’re on the fence about finding out the sex of this one. We’ll be happy either way, but I want to find out so I can start calling them by their name

Is anyone able to update the Google doc for me please - I’d forgotten all about it!! EDD is 29/8/19 and baby is a girl!

@tefiti2 done!

We have our 20 week scan tomorrow, I’m getting so excited now, I’ve missed seeing our little one. We also find out what the sex is tomorrow too!.

@KLane Sorry to hear that you’re in the same boat but hopefully it’s not an issue for either of us in the long run! 🤞🏻

We had a totally unexpected house viewing first thing this morning, so spent an hour running round like a madwoman blitzing the place that I really could have done without! Knackered now!

Have just found out that DH is going to be away for work when it's my 20 week scan and hospital can't reschedule :( My Mum will come with me instead but still fairly gutted!

Oh that’s a pity but you can buy a picture to show him. Maybe have a look at doing a private scan together?

Hormones clearly in full swing - just had a cry about my Ocado substitutions as it means having to go to a shop and I have a blister from new shoes and don't want to walk. Need to get a grip!

I was on Pinterest the other day and saw an infographic for hospital bag essentials. Could feel myself whelling up so had to click onto something else 😂

I’m looking at reusable nappies and it’s honestly driving me nuts!!!

I did the nappy lady questionnaire but I don’t particularly like the options she’s suggesting. I like the cute little elephants on the Facebook page but how do I know they will work! It’s a minefield!!!

Just back from 20 week scan. I'm another one with low lying placenta which is partly covering the cervix

@Karigan195, what did she recommend?
I'm doing Little Lambs Onesize Pockets, Bumgenius Elemental Joy and Totsbots Bamboozle Stretchies Size 2 with Blueberry Capri wraps for night.

With a few newborn nappies to try before the BTP.

The Elemental Joy and Bamboozles were recommended, the Little Lambs weren't but were super cheap so worth a punt. I also want to try the Baba and Boo.

Just in case anyone is looking the Maxi Cosi cabriofix is £30 in Asda at the moment:

@Megan2018. She recommended little lambs and terry cloths.

Little lambs looked ok just I like the patterns on other types.
