First Time Pregnancy (3)

[QuestionARhino]

Oops time for a new thread. Hope you all find it okay

@lydiangel83 I'm nearly 26 weeks, it was probably 20ish weeks when it improved because I remember I first felt baby move at 18 weeks and I was sleeping in the spare room because I was so fidgety and frustrated that night so it was after 18 weeks!

@Bubbasmama2017 ^^

Congrats @MrsB12345 good pic :-)

Lydia can't you just have that as official but call him Raf? I like that!

I have loads of names I like but unfortunately by DH is super picky!! He only likes two boys names, would have had loads if we were having a girl!

@TheLionQueen1 what kind of girls names do you like? I think Raffy is so sweet but we will see... I've got a few months to work on him. Due date 4 months today!!

I love Isobel, Ella, Olivia and Jessica!

@lydiangel83 I think Raf/Raph is nice! Raphael could also work. Raffy reminds me of the word "raffle" for some reason! 😄

I had a name I thought i loved and now I'm not sure it suits her. Weird as that sounds seeing that I've never met her!!

@TheLionQueen1 isabella had always been my favourite girls name! Ella is derivative of that I think, and I was nearly called Olivia - it's a lovely name but too similar to mine I think! My best friend is called Jessica so she'd love that!

Thanks @mrsjkerry and I agree, can imagine feelings will change when you meet little one or even before. As I said to DH you have to be comfortable shouting that name down supermarket aisle, in pub garden etc!

Hi all just catching up had a few days away we had out scan Friday and found out were having a baby girl! So excited got a name sorted already (keeping it a surprise!) And now want to start the shopping. 20 weeks to go seems like a long time!!

Congratulations Bubba!! I'm finding it flies by, it feels like we only just found out at we're already 26 weeks now!

Wow I feel the total opposite! I feel like every day to week drags. Maybe because I feel so sick all the time. I really don't want another 19 weeks of feeling sick everyday!

MrsJ I feel so bad for you that it hasn't stopped yet Really hoping it eases soon. I'm feeling very 'unpregnant', other than the baby beating me up from the inside and bump is definitely starting to get in the way now!

@mrsjkerry hope you start to feel better soon,

I think we have just decided on a name, having a cup of tea to celebrate xx

I'm envious of you girls who have chosen names already - we are so far away still from
That! Wishing you feel better soon @mrsjkerry must be pretty miserable :(

I love the name Isabelle if it's a little girl ❤️

Well we like the nickname more than the name, so name will be on birth certificate but called the nickname if you know what I mean, xx

I reckon our name has already been said, I loved Maddison from being a teenager but now we had to choose I'm not keen on it anymore xx

Anyone else got back pain? Mines been horrid last few weeks!

Mine was bad until I bought a nursing bra at about 23 weeks, now it's gone from bad daily to just the odd twinge, maybe worth trying that MrsJ?

We are having a nightmare trying to find a 3 in 1 travel system. There are so many to choose from but very few reviews. Nightmare. Any suggestions will be gratefully received x

@Squigglefish also can't decide so looking for recommendations. I can't believe how much most of them weigh (and cost!)

@Squigglefish the cosatto 3in1 has good reviews. I almost bought it but wasn't sure about the 3 wheels. It's fairly lightweight and not a bad price.

I think I'll go with one of the silvercross ones though.

@mrsjkerry i saw a cosatto with 4 wheels but it was quite hard to remove the pushchair etc. From the chassis. Have you tried it out? Travel systems are making me feel so stupid I can never work them out!!

The silvercross pioneer was my favourite, but after a mammoth trying out session on Saturday I have now gone for the Mamas & Papas Ocarro. I loved it - though haven't used it with a baby yet, it just seemed perfect me. Did all the folding, pushing, testing I could. It also has its own car seat you can use, but fits the maxi cosi seat we've already bought. It's very hard for people to recommend though as people want such different things I find. Good luck with your search and I can't recommend enough getting the pushchairs of their little stands and playing with them. All the shop assistants I encountered were more than happy to show you everything without ever pushing for the sale. They know it's a big decision and you might want to try a few before making your mind up.

Thank you, I'll check that Cosatto out because we are wanting a 3 wheeler because we live down a bumpy county lane and do.a lot of walking. We were looking at Mountain Buggy ones but they look way too big. I'm glad I'm not the only one who is confused by them!

On the symptoms front I've been getting some odd discomfort around my pelvic bone, is anyone else getting this?

One last thing, don't bother with Mothercare maternity tights, put one pair on for the first time this morning and heard it rip, I looked down and there was a huge ladder. They were £15 for 2! 😡

@Brens13 good advice, a trying out session will be really helpful. We has a quick look last week but quickly got confused and overwhelmed
