New Thread before the old one fills up.

I have the understanding that you can spend it on what you like is that correct?
If so im getting my hair and nails done!!

My next scheduled appointment is 24 weeks. I hope they give me the form then else it's going to be a pain going in again the week after for it!!

mybox no probs i will keep eye open for anymore

Thanks Madmissey - that's kind of you.

Have tried to organise what I'll be wearing when it's back to school next week. At the moment I've a boden skirt that I got in a bigger size that fits now that it isn't a bigger size! two Isabella oliver black skirts and a mothercare black skirt. Have enough tops for the moment but will get some more when it gets colder. Have two light weight long cardi's & two thick long cardis - will look for some more. Fingers crossed for some ebay finds.

Catz you are def 25 weeks.... I am due week before you and I am 26 weeks now!

I am spending the whole of my Health in pregnancy grant on me...... not on baby stuff or maternity clothes.... on pamper sessions, hair cuts and maybe a meal out with friends or cinema etc!!!AM I BEING SELFISH!!!!

Bex and Sparkly - thanks for confirming that I'm not mad (well not on this at least!) I know that ultimately it makes no difference but it is really irritating! She did actually give me the health in pregnancy form in the end but dated it yesterday when she thought I'd be 25 weeks (sigh) just filled it in and sending it off tomorrow. Apparently they are being paid within a couple of weeks now so that's great.

BTW, is anyone getting pelvic pain at all? I think I might have had SPD last time but was never officially diagnosed. It's coming back with a bit of a vengeance this week.

my spd has kicked in had it bad with dd2 and was induced early, was in agony last night with it. gutted as i had been doing so well

I dont know about Spd but my little rascal is wither headbutting or kicking my cervix and it is very ouchy!!

Another of my online orders arrived today.

Got the changing table to match the cotbed I already had from dd (half-price) and some bedding and changing mats. I'm disappointed with the baskets I ordered to go under the changing mats though, a set of three but the two small ones are too small to be any use for storage so will be going back.

Next weekend a joiner is coming to redo the cupboards in the room that will be the nursery then I can start with getting it painted etc. I've picked some curtain fabric too. Getting excited.

oooh its getting exciting now!

my nursery is on its way to being done lol

madness that feels like its all really happening!!!

i pick up the drawer units tomorrow but cot up etc and i done one curtain lol!!

spd has really kicked in today i've had painkillers its very ouch

We wont have a room ready for our little one as she'll co-sleep and in the day I'll carry her around. I'll have a changing mat in the bathroom and keep her clothes in a drawer in our room. Have done this before and it works fine. When our smallest for the moment dc moves to a big bed in another room in a year then our new arrival will take her existing room and cot.

Sorry to hear about the spd - how will it progress? Hoping it wont get worse.

mine got worse last time and was unbearable at 38 weeks thats why i was induced so will see what pans out with this one. grrrrr

will you use a sling alot then mybox?

can you add me onto this ,im 24 weeks on friday so due 18th dec .This is my third and final child

theres a birth list somewhere amongst all the chat lol just copy and paste and add your details

im also pg with number 3 and the final one lol

i have 2 dds and this is our first boy!

im due 21st ..

Just make sure you pick the latest one to copy and paste as it's the most up to date...

madmissy - sorry to hear about the SPD, sounds awful. If mine is SPD it is not anywhere near as bad as that. Still am finding that it's painful to walk (especially at the start, not so bad if I've been going for a bit), turn over in bed, climb stairs etc. It's fine if I'm sitting still but it's moving that is painful. It's not consistently the same but gets worse if I've been sitting around for a bit. Does that sound like SPD to you? Perhaps I'm just being a wuss over one of those things that everyone has!

Exciting to read about everyone's nursery plans. We're doing a new room for DD and the new baby will move into her room at about 6 months hopefully. Her room is a bit on the pink side (was when we moved in) and new baby is probably a DS so may give it a splash of paint.

oh and is anyone else finding they can't eat much? Especially in the evenings I get painfully full really quickly. Sure this didn't happen till I was about 35 wks last time... getting a bit worried that I am starving the poor thing but he is apparently growing quite happily if the size of my bump is anything to go by!

Madmissey - Hope the spd wont be as awful this time for you. Must have been very difficult for you.

I used a babybjorn sling outside and last time had a shoulder type sling as my dd was three weeks early so seemed too small in the other sling for a while. At home I just carried them in my left arm. I could do most things apart from the ironing and chopping veg/using the oven. They were always happy & never cried & just bf when they wanted so I could get on with looking after the others with no problems.

Catz - I've been finding that my iron tablets make me feel sick and full up. I'm going to ask at my appt tomorrow if there's anything else I can take.

oooh i dont envy you on iron tabs make sure you eat lots of veg to try to avoid constipation as that got me bad and ended in piles which were painful

catz yes sounds like how my spd starts take it easy and mention on next visit to mw.

Does anybody else for absolutely no reason at all wake up in a bad mood? I felt great last night, ordered new changing bag and felt really happy, content with everything and excited about whats ahead but this morning I have no patience and feel really p'd off and no idea why!!

Madmissey - good advice. I saw my doc today & she said as I'm not anaemic (level 11.7)in general I can just take half a tablet with my other vitamin - hurrah!! My ferritine is low though so have to keep taking the iron. Also have put on 4kilos in 4 weeks - how did that happen. Always put on loads of weight in preg even though I don't think I eat much more than usual! (I must do though!!) She said this wasn't problem though.

cut and paste !! you are all obviousley confusing me with someone who has the slightest idea about computers Didnt have them in my day you know ,well at least not while i was at school !!

Technically you can't cut and paste because you can't cut from someone else's post but you can highlight and copy...

To highlight the text....
Click and hold the left mouse button from the start of the text you want to copy and drag across to highlight what you want to copy then let go
To copy...
Press 'ctrl' and 'c' (or 'ctrl' and 'insert') on your keyboard to copy
To paste...
Wherever you want to paste it to left click once and then press 'ctrl' and 'v'
(or 'shift' and 'insert', both do the same thing, just personal preference).
