They didn’t mention clomid. Yes they wouid t get nhs ivf as have 10yr

But maybe went private and ivf/clomid for first set of twins

Or maybe just happened

When I had ivf and finally got preg - 5th attempt I was told I wouid be highly fertile after birth due to preg hormones kick starting my body and ivf

I’m more of how did they have the time or energy for sex 3mths after giving birth to twins 😂

Just watching it now.

Stuff, stuff and more stuff.

Why do some people feel the need to fill their lives with so much stuff?

I like that they showed the option of washable nappies. I think it just gives viewers food for thought - that the option is there. It's a shame they are so repulsed by the idea though! Cloth nappies really aren't that bad!!!

I think it was a time issue for them, she said it would need 2 washes a day, just for nappies, but you would have thought between the three of them, they could manage this, if all the nappies were tumble dried for ease or aren't there schemes where you pay a monthly fee to be provided with nappies that are then collected from your house to be taken away to be washed, and you get more nappies?

But I think they did switch to Aldi nappies, and the reusable wipes, so made a big saving that way over pampers and disposable wipes.

Yes I can understand really. I cloth bummed my first two and loved it, but when my 3rd was born I couldn't keep up with the laundry and had no dryer. I'd expect that doing that with 4 in nappies would be hard work, you'd definitely have the washing machine on constantly.

I’ve had cloth nappies in jobs - im a maternity nanny - and yes for newborns they are ok ish

But still prefer disposable

But once bigger and on solids I found the children always smelt of wee. Eep after 12hrs /night and often had sore bums and then ripping away the poo in a liner made me heave

But horses for courses

I know pampers are like Heinz beans - cost

Compared to Lidl also etc / but it’s still a nappy. They still hold 12hrs if wee. Why double the price

Think yesterday in boots pampers size 5 weew £8 and Lidl’s 2.85

I wish I did use cloth when my DS was born now, but I am considering the reusable wipes! They look really good. For me I am all about convenience though. I go for the cheaper brand (Aldi), which I've had absolutely no issues with and they are not expensive either but I understand it is for environmental purposes as well.

Does anyone know when the next episode is on?

I didnt get them testing single buggies. As they had a double joie then a double bugaboo donkey.

With carseats as well. I didnt like the way they made out all carseats where equal apart from price. Ok the ones they looked at where fairly comparible. But with carseats they brushed over safety testing standards etc.

I also think the dad was in the forces reading between the lines. (Commented on working away in the week and having to be clean shaved and certain hair cuts( so it makes sense why the mum lived there to help.

I don't think they ever say how much they earn. They both work full time in sales roles at a fairly high level.

Did that mean the 8 year old purchased 34 times in a month from Amazon and the mum had no idea how much she had spent?

And lol at Tom thinking he looks anything other than a mid 40s man desperately trying to look 21!
