It is lovely tho rots so will be worth it - I am v. boring about how it was worth spending the money on the pillow and i loves it...

ski well, I was desperate for a ride - and my sis's horse is an angel (although only 6 yrs old) - so I sat on him - had a walk - then a trot and cantered down one long side but then i got off - was so happy after tho

skihorse · 07/04/2010 14:47

Well done iggy! It sounds absolutely lovely - did it make the baby excited and jiggy?

We also have a superking bed and moan when we go away to hotels as the bed is never as nice as we have at home!

cosie U R a freak.

I sleep on my back. So shoot me. If I try to lie on my side I wake up in pain with a squished pelvis, so only do it for little sleep ins when I know it'll only be for half an hour or so. I also have an elaborate pillow between legs / under bump arrangement. I am using the fancy cushions which go on the bed to make it look pretty. Spose I should put a washable pillowcase on them - or at least on the one that is between my sweaty thighs. (Btw this is all a massive advance on last pregnancy when I could only sleep sitting up with a 5 pillow arrangement and an invalid handle attached to the bed for when I needed to get up.)

curls that sucks about the house.

carrotsarenottheonlyvegetable · 07/04/2010 14:52

cosmo entirely . Actually, YOB and I find it really hard to sleep in a normal double. You have to touch each other and stuff .

iggy sounds fab. I'm very .

Thanks for the +ve re pillow. I've seen lots of good reviews which is why I took the plunge but seems SO expensive, although I once spent 57 of my hard earned pounds on a Tempur pillow which was the best thing ever for my bad neck, so while it was LOADSACASH, it was worth spending it.

OOOHHH I keep meaning to say!

I've just spent £45 on an ENTIRE travel system at an NCT sale which when we googled afterwards would have cost nearly £500 and it's LIKE NEW! It doesn't have the car seat as they're not allowed to sell them, but i can get it from the seller direct.

Then spent £35 at a car boot sale for another one to have at my mum's, later found to be a £500, if you please, Mamas and Papas one. Also like new, excellent quality and severe, huge, massive savings going on which I can spend on CHOCOLATE and beer. Only I don't drink beer so I will probably just buy more chocolate. Bonus!

So lovely ladies, unless you want to buy the perfect, colour coordinated, has to be new for MY baby, specific brand of pram thing, please to look out at NCT sales and car boot sales. Also a bonus, they're so big you're unlikely to have to do the ungainly and slightly embarassing rumaging in boxes under tables to see what crap people are selling, in order to find such a bargain.

skihorse · 07/04/2010 14:57

You witch rots! I thought I'd won the bargain travel system for 125 euros. Cossie got a pair of maternity jeans for ONE of your shiny British pounds though.

missed loads there

honey that's the wierd thing, it's not even a main road. I'm thinking it's one of these country lane cut throughs that people use by day but not at night [hopeful]. SFF just drove there and phoned me.
very that you don't want to live with me...

I missed our local NCT sales thanks to house-hunting and rugby. I had joined up and everyfink so I could go early...

My big sausage pillow is coveted mostly by the dog. Loves it she does.

And if anyone sleeps in the spare room its SFF. Although at the mo the spare bed is upended and the loft has been emptied into the room, so he can either stick by Wriggly McSnore-iggins or head for the sofa

Happy belated birthday okie. I would like flowers but they make me sneeze.

rollerbaby · 07/04/2010 15:49

Sorry - HAPPY BIRTHDAY Okie (I am so self absorbed sometimes). Hope you had a jolly nice day with no yakking.

Curly don't worry I will come and see you too when you move. Can you come to Battersea pleeze? We have a big common, if that helps. Although I don't think they've had horses on it for about 200 years.

By the way can ANYONE see my doggy piccies? I sent mumsnet a technical enquiry about the fact I have added you all as mumsmates and noone can see anyfink. Rubbish.

SomethingSuitablyWitty · 07/04/2010 15:50

I am fascinated by the pillow talk (harhar) and wonder how on earth I will manage. I nearly always sleep on my stomach. Already difficult due to painful boobs, but I am perservering. But it will get more and more challenging?

I am off to meet a midwife tonight. It is not very done here, but I found a small independent practice and it looks like the very biz!

I'll let you know how it goes....

iggypiggy · 07/04/2010 15:51

I don't think the mates thing works mooma think you just have to make the pics public...

Cosmosis · 07/04/2010 16:10

99 of your english pence I think you'll find!

Is we more freaks because we actually sleep cuddling then? don't like big beds as they ahve too much space in them!

skihorse · 07/04/2010 16:12

Cossie We cuddle too (iz freaks) - but it's not unknown for him to be woken with me seething "one, two, three, four, five - YOU've GOT FIVE BARS and I've only got three".

OP posts:
CurlyCasper · 07/04/2010 16:16

ewwwww cuddling while you sleep? That's just wrong. Back to back and not touching - that's the way forward!

moomoo I'm not fussed about poniez but they has lots of doggies in Battersea, no? But can I also get a three bed, three reception house with garage, driveway, large garden and no close neighbours for under £700 PCM? (tractors and sileage optional)

CurlyCasper · 07/04/2010 16:17

many man

Ponymum · 07/04/2010 16:18

Oh, I'm happy to cuddle (bump/pain permitting) but once I want to go to sleep it's hands off. Have to admit though that sometimes I put my arm out just for a touch and no matter how far I stretch I can't find him - that's how big the bed is!

I once had a boyfy who kept trying to move closer through the night, I would move further away, and this would repeat until it was easier for me to simply get out, walk around the bed and get back in the other side. Bloody annoying!

rollerbaby · 07/04/2010 16:23

Ummm Curly you could probably get a studio flat next to the dogs home??

Ponymum · 07/04/2010 16:32

curls Definitely can meet spec, as long as you can commute from North Yorkshire.

CurlyCasper · 07/04/2010 16:38

pony and moo pone - that would make getting home to Scotland easier...

OkieCokie · 07/04/2010 16:56

I am going to get myself one of those dream genii things since you all rave about them. I did have some kind of pillow last time but is was a really limp one donated from SIL who had used it through 3 children - come to think of it I used it loads and it was pretty crap as it was so limp. Thanks for the birfday wishes peshes, I am offically now too old to concieve I am 35 but the Daily Mail can stick is as I won a baybee 2 months ago, so there...

moo give me some clue as to where you are located. The first 2 numbers in your post code will do. I used to be 11 and now I am 18.

VoilaAnotherGimlet · 07/04/2010 17:09

Oooh - am sensing a Sarf Lundun mini-Deli for the long days of mat leave, as am also an 11-er. Believe Cnut isn't too far upstream, and I know Igster is a mere 5 mins in the Chelsea tractor*

Am now contemplating genii pillow and giant new bed. You lot are bad for the bank balance.

How does one know whether it's an offspring wriggling about or if it is just wind? Just askin'. Am 16wks - so a bit early for quickening, n'est pas?

  • not tested
skihorse · 07/04/2010 17:20

VAG I felt definite movements at 17.4 (IIRC), possible farts beforehand - but who can say?

OP posts:
Cosmosis · 07/04/2010 17:26

VAG is possible, I first suspected movement at 16+6, was sure at 17+2. Mine did not feel like wind, it felt like a twitchy nerve.

Ponymum · 07/04/2010 17:40

VAG In order to conform to behaviour patterns of the general PESH population I suggest it is wind. Though if you see the shape of a foot appearing through your tummy skin then I suppose it might be a kick.

CurlyCasper · 07/04/2010 17:49

i felt first flutters at 16 weeks. It was fluttery rather than bubbly farty. I was sure of it a week or two later.

VoilaAnotherGimlet · 07/04/2010 18:02

Right then - I will monitor my wind and keep you all posted - thanks all!

Have done naff all today...and now am off home for homemade pizza and some cake, all created by moi! Am domestic goddess

ps. Casp the lemon cake went down v well with all and sundry at the weekend - lasted ages and was lapped up. Will have to persevere. At the weekend I did also make the Rachel Allen mocha cake and Nigella's bakewell slice. Then ate a lot and had to lie down.

CurlyCasper · 07/04/2010 18:04

Let's all move in with vag then!
