@blodyn91 ah that makes sense then if they wanted a quicker sale! Yay for you! That's great news! X

@LittleRa oh no that sucks! Isolation is rubbish! My friend had that Pram and loved it. That was my original first choice but then I fell in love with the mamas and papas ocarro which is pretty similar tbf x

@FairyLights2 congratulations on joining team blue 💙 are the numbers even now?!? X

Hey ladies, can't believe I've not been on here since Sunday 🤯 hope you're all doing well, I'm just plodding along (or waddling as somebody at work kindly put it)

Final two meals out with friends and also parents seen this week before starting lockdown, but honestly I'm excited to have some days heading straight home from work and just chilling.

@blodyn91 yay to getting an offer accepted on a house, is this a full Reno project aswell?

@Mrsi2020 congrats on your scan and @FairyLights2 congrats on joining #teamblue xx

@LittleRa how annoying about the self-isolation but great news about the pram. I've read loads of people say about wait times on prams think I've only really looked at John Lewis or Mamas and Papas direct and they seem to have pretty much everything in stock for delivery in a week I guess it's the smaller retailers that need to order in, hope that doesn't change 😬 I've tasked OH with finding a pram, think he is leaning towards to Ocarro, we went into the shops to look at them but I just got bored, they all seem the same to me 🙈 and yep loads of fireworks for fireworks night going off here aswell 💥 dog next door is going loopy x

@Bl0ndi3 ahh it's so hard not to feel anxious especially after a loss but I have a good feeling that all will be well with your little one, can't believe next week everyone will be past their dating scans ❤️

Latest list I have - so many scans next week ❤️

8💖 5💙 2 🤍 8🤷🏾‍♀️

November is a busy scan month!!

@LittleRa you’re well organised!! I’m doing the same as you going for a similar pram tk one I had before and know I loved. They’re so bloody expensive but it’s my only big purchase ...

@Ltay2 have you any pics? How many weeks will you girls be when you buy?

@Bl0ndi3 I’ll say that about the oyster the black never scratched, it was fantastic and looked like new when I was finished with it. I love the black frames. Tbh it wasn’t that bad, I’m making it sound horrendous it’s just such a big purchase, I think if they have brought out a new model that’s a good sign! Plus I see loads of them about so they’re defo popular enough, if they were crap people wouldn’t buy them! Xx

@FairyLights2 eeekk for team blue! Congrats lovely xx

@SmileyT thanks for the list again! And yayy for a quiet few weeks for you, but nice you’ve had a few meals out before lockdown at the same time, I wonder will your friends and family see a huge difference in you in 4 weeks?! Lol at waddling !!!! Ps how the hell can you let your partner pick the pram! Omg that would give me anxiety 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but then my dh can’t buy the right ham in the shop lol xx

Thanks for the list @SmileyT I have a growth scan on the 23rd November plus consultant appointment where I'll be asking for a c section, with it been 2 I want to make sure there aren't any complications as I have had a few before with my other dds. Just hoping I will hold till 37 weeks I feel massive xx

@SmileyT this is not e reno job 💆🏼‍♀️ so lot less stressful! We worked out that trying to get a bargain that needed renovation would end up costing us more, because they were all going for almost the same amount of money. Its painted all white though so can definitely re paint if we want.

@Cocoblue22 we just feel so lucky!

@Ltay2 was ot you that had looked into Hypobirthing? have you downloaded an app? or paid for a course yet?

@Mrsi2020 This is the pram I'm looking at! This is the most expensive bundle (around £725 at the moment) although there are cheaper sets that don't include the footmuff or changing bag so will have a look at what deals are available at the time as it seems it would be cheaper to buy the footmuff and bag separately at the moment which is odd!

@blodyn91 It was me looking at hypnobirthing! I have bought the positive birth company digital pack for £40 and I already have the book, haven't had time to really go through much of the digital pack but at first glance it seems very informative so worth the money I think. I've also downloaded the Freya app which was £3 and has some good meditation things on there and also tracks contractions whilst talking you through breathing through them if that's your thing (worth trying for £3 though!)

Only 3 days now until my gender scan, so excited but also nervous as always for any scan 🙈

@Ltay2 thats the app my work clients wife bought, and shes the one that ended up giving birth at home as baby came too quick. So think thats what ill go for as well. Ive asked for the book for Christmas. I think its ok to wait till January really to start it properly isn't it?

Aaa not long now and for @Bl0ndi3, the last few days of waiting are the worse!

@blodyn91 Yeah definitely ok to wait! Some of the people telling their birth stories in group (you get access to fb group after buying the digital pack) only discovered hypnobirthing for the first time at 33-36 weeks and still positively affected them!

@Cocoblue22 we saw Ocarro and I loved it so did DH as it's not too girly he said! but going to have a look an ickle bubba as well it's really decently priced xx

@Mococo1 we still love our occaro we got the chestnut colour it's so lovely! We also got the maxi cosi pebble plus car seat instead as that was the one we wanted so they did us a deal and got the adaptors for the Pram. Tbf We hardly used the car seat on the Pram as we loved the carry cot so much and DS was so comfy and happy in the carry cot x

@Ltay2 that’s lovely! Defo price around , you can defo save a few pennies shopping about.

This is the pram I’m going for....

Xxx

@Mrsi2020 haha my OH does all my shopping, don't think I've been into a supermarket since we moved in together. My OH could spend all day shopping, he narrowed it down to three types of grey tiles for our new bathroom and my response was 'they are all the same to me' 😂 your pram is beaut though, I get off MN and show him what all you fabulous gals have been looking at and he adds stuff to his list 👌🏾

@Ltay2 the Cossatos are so reasonably priced and pretty 😍

@blodyn91 ahh amazing that it's a blank canvas for you to get into and properly start nesting in Jan x

@Dipsy77 totally makes sense for you to have a csec planned in give you that peace of mind x

Hope everyone has a fab weekend... and please keep sharing your shopping baskets love seeing everyone getting sorted, feel a bit tight we haven't even bought little one a little onesie or anything yet 🙈

@SmileyT I have looked at loads of different prams but keep going back to the Cosatto because of the designs! Some of them are a bit toooo crazy but I like that one is mostly grey just with a bit of colour so not too much for OH to use out on his own.

So I've just done my first bit of exercise since becoming pregnant (I know so lazy 🙈) it was the easiest video of pregnancy yoga I could find shouldn't really be strenuous at all just some stretching but I still found it so hard with being very inflexible at the moment and having no balance 🤣 but glad I did it anyway hopefully it will help me to not feel so much like a cripple today!

Does anyone know what happened to the ladies from the TTC thread? The last thread ended with no link to the next one so couldn't find them to check in? Just wondered if any more had got their BFPs? X

@Cocoblue22 Looks like this is their newest one (can’t mistake the titles 😂)

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/4071929-Nov-Bus-21-C-m-stains-period-rage-and-MASSIVE-bullets

@Ltay2 I did pregnancy yoga last night, honestly I always find yoga harder than any other workout because I'm normally strong but so inflexible, although DP had the pull up bar out the other day and couldn't even do one when I can normally do sets, so now I'm weak and inflexible 😂 Apparently OH is now leaning towards a cybex pram, think he'll go all black, he isn't very adventurous 🤷🏾‍♀️

@Mustbemad82 hope scan goes well today, do let us know how you get on xx

Thanks guys - this Scan was part of a package - we had a cervical
Length measurement one too which I’m going to have some follow up for

Window to womb were good and seemed to do a thorough developmental one which was a little reassuring

Amazing to see how large they grow

@Mustbemad82 beautiful scan!!!!

@Mustbemad82 Lovely scan! So big now ❤️

@Mustbemad82 aww cute scan ❤️ x

@Ltay2 I love Cosatto too I have a miss dynamite for my toddler and a spin car seat. A word of warning though their customer service is crap. If you are going to buy look on the community part of the Facebook page you'll see customer experiences etc. A small screw came off the stand on my pram and after a month of trying to get back to me they said I had to send the pram back for repair which would take a week to ten days. I said I couldn't be without the pram took a picture of the screw I needed, 3 weeks later they sent me a big bag of screws but not the screw I needed so I gave it up as a bad job in the end, such a shame because their products as so nice xx
