@footprintsintheslow sorry that is a bit worst case. I was reading about the extreme ends of both induction & section, which probably isn't a good thing to do but I like to be prepared! I've had a couple of friends who had to stay in for the pessary (I got to home when I had it last time), so that was 12 hours for two lots, and then 24 hours on the drip before labour really got started, then another 24 hours before birth. Then a recovery day or two before home. I realise that's probably not the norm, but I guess after last time I'm trying to gauge what could happen. I feel mine would be slow as it would be 39 weeks, whereas last time I went to 42, and I have a family history of spontaneous labour being close to 42 weeks. But I just don't know. Lots of questions for my consultant and lots more back and forth before making a decision I think.
That is a nice car seat. We hire a car about 3 times a year so it's used very rarely. I like the idea of having two pushchairs, one for around town and one to trash in the forest, but storing it would be a pain. I have an old Out and About nipper which I love, it's so easy to push around even when it gets really muddy, but it's on it's last legs and don't think it will survive another one (it was battered when I got it). I don't like that you can't have parent facing when they're first in the seat.
@DressingGown87 I'll check out the flip, although I'm not too bothered about light weight, I'd prefer heavier and sturdy, just not too massive so I can still get on an escalator. I really like the Bumbleride Era, but it's fairly new here so hard to get second hand. I'm lucky in that that's the only thing I have to buy though as we have everything else from first time round, so maybe I'll look at finances, and might just go for a new one with the view that I can sell it on in a few years (I'm self employed, have very little work at the moment and am ineligible for the government help because of the length of time I've been self employed)
