I'm glad it could help Gruff.

That is silly about your friend. If she lived next door I'd understand.

GruffaloSoldier · 12/03/2009 22:05

thanks kayz!

anyone know about returns? i ordered a moses basket stand off boots website and never checked it when it arrived as we were decorating. (seriously stupid of me) just opened it and two crucial bits are missing. its over 28 days since i received it, so not sure if I can still return it. Im about to have a serious meltdown

anyone know about this?

Starshinetiger · 12/03/2009 22:16

Just a quick post, as should be in bed. Gruff, am pretty sure your consumer rights exceed the normal 28 days. I would contact their customer service team and explain - is quite normal to order things, but not open them until baby is nearer due. Am sure they will be happy to replace. 'Tis them I ordered birth pool through and they did deliver replacement today and were helpful on phone, so hopefully you'll have a good experience. After all, they can't deliver you half/part of a product and expect you just to be happy with it.
GYo - ooh, how exciting - I've never got a sweepstake right before!

kayzr · 12/03/2009 22:19

I'm about to go to bed but just wanted to say have a good time tomorrow ladies!!
Keep an eye on GYo!!! She might have her baby at the meet!!!

GruffaloSoldier · 12/03/2009 22:33

Think I might have missed something from Gyo - will look back in a minute.

Thanks Star! will give them a ring in the am.

Night Kayz - lol imagine a wagon meet up labour

Night all!

Cosmogirl · 13/03/2009 07:57

Morning,

Hope you enjoy the meet up today ladies - least you won't have any difficulties identifying each other!

Just been reading an email from a friend who has just had her baby 11 days early. She had hyperemesis and nausea problems all through preg like me and says she feels wonderful and is enjoying having her appetite back etc, and her beautiful baby girl of course ...Oh, I can't wait to not feel sick anymore!!

Off to get try and get measured for nursing bra today. Haven't bought a single one yet, so thought I'd better had one in the hosp bag, even if it is a bit of a crappy one.

DH is making choc muffins so just waiting for them to come out of the oven yum yum!

Sparklytwinkletoes · 13/03/2009 08:00

Morning all. I'm working from home today so a quick post before having a shower and cranking up my work laptop.

I've been really crap at remembering what people have posted and responding on stuff recently, and coz I know I'm being crap, I'm kind of staying away a bit, but still lurking and reading...sorry for being such a useless wagonner at the moment!

I think I'm doing OK, constantly seem to be in fear of losing the baby, and the fear just seems to be growing uncontrollably at the moment. I keep finding myself telling myself off, because I am waking during the night for a wee, I am waking up randomly for an hour and half between 3 and 4.30 in the morning when I haven't been to bed early, I still can't face some foods, in fact, my appetite is struggling somewhat because of the nausea, and my boobs are still a little sensitive...which I know are all positive signs. Its just that there's this little voice that keeps telling me that I'm imagining them all, that I'm waking coz I'm stressed, feel nauseous because I'm worrying etc etc... I'll just have to keep telling myself off I guess

I'm now 9+4, still just under 3 weeks till the next scan and it seems like forever away.

Sparklytwinkletoes · 13/03/2009 08:02

x-posted Cosmo - morning! I can't believe your DH is making choc muffins! At this time of the morning! What a star!

Its fancy dress at nursery today and DS has gone dressed up as a little monster in a costume left over from halloween, he looked very sweet and keeps 'raaahhhh'ing at me and DP!

Sparklytwinkletoes · 13/03/2009 08:07

To those of you that used a doppler, can you recommend one? I think it might really help...

Cosmogirl · 13/03/2009 08:15

Morning SST,

I know, I am very lucky - just had one - they are so yummy esp when hot out of the oven mmmmm

I think Tink and GYo bought the Angel Sounds Doppler and were happy with it.

Symptoms still sounding good and don't be hard on yourself for fretting - I'd be exactly the same. It is unbelievable how slow the time can go when pregnant and waiting for something to happen (scan, movement, labour etc)....

Cosmogirl · 13/03/2009 08:16

STT not SST...I swear my brain is rotting as the days tick by!

Sparklytwinkletoes · 13/03/2009 08:17

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm fresh hot chocolate muffins

Do I get a virtual cup of tea with that?

I quite fancy porridge this morning but I'm sure I'm out of oats . Oh well, another bowl of alpen then (I've polished off a box this week _.

I've just been googling and the angel sounds one does seem to be one of the most popular...

I've only just clocked the time and I'm supposed to start work v v soon...oops. Best get a wriggle on...

Don't eat too many muffins!!

Sparklytwinkletoes · 13/03/2009 08:17

Lol - I didn't even notice!

Cosmogirl · 13/03/2009 08:20

I'll try not to.... Who needs Starbucks eh? Don't work too hard...

GYoIsReallyHavingABaby · 13/03/2009 08:31

Morning all

Nothing of interest happpened here over night. Think Ses and Gruff can leave their hot water/towels etc at home for the meet up Last night and afternoon I felt really achey in lower bump and really odd, like I was completely inside myself. Woke up with sharp aches during the night but nothing has progressed since. Am back sitting on the ball now.

Wow Cosmo, hot choc muffins at 8am sounds fab! Might have to make something myself now!

MW coming this morning to check things over... could ask her to do a S&S but Im not sure Im brave enough

Hi everyone else.

GYoIsReallyHavingABaby · 13/03/2009 08:35

STT- I'd definately recommend the Angel Sounds from Babymad.com- great customer service. THough I didnt use mine til I was 18wks I think. Usual comment that it might be more stressful if you cant hear anything at all e.g. if you have an anterior placenta but Im sure you know all that...

OP posts:
SesIsCountingdowntheweeks · 13/03/2009 09:06

Morning!

Sparkly - I got the angel sounds Doppler too and did find it reassuring. Used it from about 15 weeks I think.
Even now at nearly 32 weeks though I still worry that I'm going to be uncovered as a fraud and I'm not really pg...
As for remembering what everyone's posted, don't worry about it! It can be a struggle and feel free to just let us now how you're doing!

Cosmo - what a wonderful DH!! Send some this way!!

GYo - hope MW goes well

Right, someone mentioned porridge? Sounds good to me, I'll get a pan going.

GruffaloSoldier · 13/03/2009 09:31

Morning all!

I ran out of porridge this morning and fruit and fibre all gone so had to resort to DH's weetabix -

Have just rang boots and they were really helpful. Company moses basket stand is from are sending out missing parts today - yipee

2nd day of maternity leave and it feels so good (although I did have a good cry last night as Im missing the kids I looked after - pg hormones alert )

Gyo - Im glad that you havent gone into labour yet!wagon meet up must go ahead!then you can have the baby

Hello Cosmo, STT , everyone else.

Just realised Ive left my tea brewing - I'll be back in a sec!

SesIsCountingdowntheweeks · 13/03/2009 09:45

Gruff - missed your problem with Boots last night (sorry!) but I'm glad we've they've resolved it ok for you

Boo for running out of porridge - Weetabix makes me sick. (Well it did when I was 6yrs old and my mum force fed it to me. I haven't tried again since!)

GruffaloSoldier · 13/03/2009 09:52

Hi ses,

no worries they were great actually!very helpful.

trick with weetabix is either have warm milk or eat it before it goes soggy - (and with lots of sugar )

Ive only been up a couple of hours - now getting sleepy for a nap

GruffaloSoldier · 13/03/2009 09:53
