@HJWT2 gorgeous! 😍

AngeloMysterioso · 01/08/2019 09:18

Just on my way to have my glucose test... have only had a few hours sleep, I’m already starving as I could only manage a few mouthfuls of the giant bowl of pasta I made last night, all I want is a coffee and a cinnamon danish and I can’t eat for another 3 hours... waahhhhhhh woe is me!

HJWT2 · 01/08/2019 13:03

@SunshineSophia thank you ☺️ xx

@AngeloMysterioso ahh I know that feeling, I had glucose in my urine the other day to so if I have the same on a fasting sample next week iv got to have another GTT!! That will be my 3rd this pregnancy 😬😬

AngeloMysterioso · 01/08/2019 14:16

@HJWT2 lord that is bad luck!
Had a midwife appointment in between blood tests and the fundal height measurement she took was slightly on the small side- 26cm at bang on 28 weeks, so we’ve got to go back in a week for a growth scan. She didn’t seem overly concerned so I’m trying not to freak out too much!

BarberellaWife · 01/08/2019 14:53

Can I join? :) I'm also due 19th October!
Struggling this week - had my GTT on Monday and was sick ten minutes before the 2 hour blood test was due - was absolutely gutted! :(
Have had to monitor my blood sugar this week now instead which has not been fun!

YorkshireIndie · 01/08/2019 19:03

Welcome!

Just been to mothercare and every time there is a sale it makes me regret not knowing if it is a boy or a girl as there are so many items in the sale which are definitely for boy or girl

HJWT2 · 01/08/2019 19:23

@YorkshireIndie do they have a sale on 😆

Think I need to get more 0-3 clothes! If DS ends up being near 10 LBS the up to 1 month won't fit for long 😟

homley · 01/08/2019 19:42

Hi everyone, my first post and first pregnancy! Due on the 10th, cannot believe how fast time seems to be passing now!

We have been waiting for our baby for the last 3 years and ended up having to go down the IVF route which seemed to take forever at the time but it is now a distant memory.

Feeling rather disorganised as we haven't started on baby's room yet but starting to buy the important bits incase s/he makes an early appearance!

homley · 01/08/2019 19:44

I am feeling the exact same! They have some lovely things in the sale.

Louise392 · 01/08/2019 20:22

Thanks @shouldntbeonhereagain and to you :) They are DS 16 DS 14 and DD 6.

Just been for a 4d scan tonight so got a better peep at him. When are you due? x

Louise392 · 01/08/2019 20:24

Hi @HJWT2 :) x

HJWT2 · 02/08/2019 09:01

@homley aw how lovely congratulations ! It really does go fast doesn't it !

@Louise392 aw did you manage to get a good view of baby 😍 xx

YorkshireIndie · 02/08/2019 11:33

What items are people looking to buy new and what items are people buying second hand? I am picking up a baby bouncer and I have worked out I am saving £90 buying it second hand! I am also picking up a pram to have at my parents house

HJWT2 · 02/08/2019 11:55

@YorkshireIndie we have bought all new! We kept quite a lot from DD but it was all pink 🤦🏻‍♀️ so bought mainly grey/neutral colours this time incase we do have a 3rd! Also be easier to sell it all if we don't 😁

Will probably try and find a nice second hand swing for at my mums though! X

HJWT2 · 02/08/2019 14:19

Ahh carseat has come today and its marked! Waited 5 weeks for the stock to come in and now ill have to send it back! Its a good job Im not due soon 😂 x

homley · 02/08/2019 19:18

We are going mostly second hand, been given loads of clothes, play mat, a car seat and pram from best friend (so know there has been no accidents) mosed basket (bought mew matress). Will probably buy baby carrier/bag/monitor/etc new.

homley · 02/08/2019 19:20

It really has done, although I suspect it will start slowing down soon as I am on countdown for leaving work Haha.

Positivity86 · 02/08/2019 21:15

@YorkshireIndie we are a mix of new and second hand. Got a few bits from my sister in law who had a baby last year and got a good deal on second hand nursery furniture (new cot mattress tho). We did treat ourselves to a new travel system, purchased at the baby show and some cute girly clothes!!
