here is the new thread ladies not long now

You know the Meningitis glass test if the spots fade but don't completely disappear thats ok isn't it?

You may all think I'm too fussy but what I'd like is:

• light weight
• 4 wheels
• Converts for newborn to lie flat
• pushchair so that baby can face towards me or away from me

LBOT - that looks quite good and it's purple!! (I'm reknowned for my love of purple!) May have to settle on a neutral colour though in case this is a boy.

Have to say, I'm starting to think I'm having a girl!

SES- [[http://www.mamasandpapas.co.uk/product-luna-pushchair-truffle/102189502/type-i/ here] is the luna, you can then choose to add the carseat and/or the carrycot and you can buy the matching baby bag, parasol, footmuffs etc... i'd reccomend having a day of pram shopping though, places like mothercare, babies R us, m&p etc and you'll be able to fold hem down and put them up, see all the accessories you could ahve to match etc, when i went out pram shopping for the holiday stroller it took nearly 5hrs and 4 pram shops to find the right one for me, and that was saying i knew everything i wanted and needed, and even knew most of what was on offer for me to use too!!

Kay - I'm pretty sure that if the rash fades then you're ok. If it doesn't fade at all then you should follow it up. Who are you worried about?

Other symptoms can include:

• aversion to light
• stiff neck
• fever
• drowsy / listless
• no appetite
• vomiting

i think if it fades then its ok....

ses- the luna cant face you once just using the pushchair, but the carseat can be used until 9mths ish and the carrycot till about 6mths i think...

Crikey Kayz! Yes, you worry if they DON'T fade. As long as the fade you should be okay. Any other symptoms? Whose spots?

DS1, he has a rash on the inside of his thighs. But he is fine and acting normal. It fades but doesn't completely disappear.

LBOT that pushchair is lovely!!!

Does seem pretty good other than that...

I really must go and do some work. I'll be lurking though...

right i think i better go too- get the DC's a nap, and try and get one myself- i actually have bags under my eyes- i dont think i've ever had real bags under my eyes before!!

Hope all is Ok Kay- i'd say if it fades he should be ok, but do keep a very close eye on him for any other symptoms.

I'm off too, might pop back on tonight to check on Tink.

HV said it is probably because we have changed his nappies because there wasn't any of the normal ones.

Thank God, I can hardly breathe.

Yes, Ses I wanted something that lies flat without an extra carrycot to buy. The I'coo converts into a pram with some extra fabric they give you. And I love that the whole thing is height adjustable - I always think that the Bugaboo attachments sit really low in the frame, especially the carseat, but also the carrycot. I also love the way the Britax Vigour looks, I just wish you didnt' have to get the carrycot to use it from birth.

The I'coo is a little bit heavier though - I think 10.5kg.

Listen to me - I've got 6 1/2 months to go and I've got a pram picked out!

LBOT, I had DS1's picked before we started ttc!!

LBOT - we have bought the Britax Vigour 4 + in black. We have got the car seat and carrycot and pushchair for 300, which I think is pretty good. Plus we are prob going to use the carrycot as a moses basket too, so should get a lot of use out of it. It all clips together very simply and does look nice.

Anyone know best place to get stuff for hosp bag? Thought I'd do a mothercare order but looked online and maternity pads only in 6 pks?! Surely that is going to last a day....Was hoping I could just do an order and get everything from one place but isn't looking likely so far. Main things are gel pads for bra and knickers, maternity pads x loads, breast pas, lanisoh stuff.

was just checking my email and lurking- cosmo, i'm getting my maternity pads, breast pads, baby mislins and a breast pump from toys r us, they currently have a good sale on some of the things, i'm going instore to get them but you can order online.

Cosmo
Mothercare do a 48pk of regular mat pads, ive seen them in store and in the catalogue.

I just got stuff from sains with 1/3 off. 10pads for 65p and there was 3rd off other stuff like the nipple cream too. Worth a look.

The other bargain i found was M&S for big knickers. Their value range is 7pairs for a £5. But was buyone, get one 1/2 price so I have 14 pairs of huge black pants for £7.50. Bargain me thinks!
