Whispered

To be honest his secretary was extremely difficult to speak to. She understood very little of what I was saying and I had to repeat my request a few times before she understood what I was looking for.

I could ring again today but dealing with a bit of an unrelated crisis today and don't have the energy.

mrsWhippy

How is everyone this week? Am just back from a week's holiday and I think the sun has made my bump grow Am enjoying the comfort of my maternity jeans now.

I think we should do a list of due dates ... want to add yours in sequence?

Ah a holiday - sounds lovely!

I had to visit the doc this morning, after a very stressful weekend I had heart palpitations and light headedness. Everything is ok thankfully and I got to hear the heartbeat for the first time.

Hi ladies,

Hope everyone is doing well. Whispered hope everything is ok. I have 20 week scan tomorrow can't wait can't believe half ways there already the time has flown. Has anyone started to buy baby stuff yet. I have a small bump but bit bigger rhabiller lastnigh week.

mrsWhippy

Yeah I'll be 17 weeks this week - the last 5 weeks or so have flown! We won't see December coming in!! Haven't bought anything yet since I already have stuff from my first baby ... but doesn't mean I amn't tempted

Whispered, glad you got some reassurance - hope all is okay with you too.

I am due 14th December - the time is flying by.

This is my first and i have bought a mountain of baby gear from clothes to nappies! I am following the newborn baby and toddlers bargain alerts and using any opportunity there is to pick up well priced items. I love shopping!

Whispered

Have not bought a thing. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. We haven't even looked at clearing room for to put stuff in yet. Very disorganised. Especially compared to you!

I absolutely loved all the baby shopping last time, jealous of all you first timers
If we have a boy, I'll enjoy getting the little blue bits and pieces though ... and I might pick up a second hand baby swing too - won't have the time to rock this little one to sleep for 45 mins at a time!!!

Getting excited now alright, have scan on 31st July and then I might start organising a few little bits. I'm a little superstitious about buying too many things too early BUT I'm also happiest when I'm organised. Guess I'll have to find the balance! Some handy bits in the M&S sale online, muslin cloths etc...

FYI we found that the Aldi muslin cloths were fab - great value and they're huge too! We still use ours nearly 2 years later. Keep an eye out for the next baby event!

what are muslin cloths?

Just large absorbent cloths you can use for shading baby, mopping up drool, cleaning food off their face, pretty much everything! The nice thing about the Aldi ones is that they're really big.

You will need loads of them btw - don't spend a fortune on them as they will be washed and washed and destroyed with all sorts of bodily fluids

God I never even noticed them on sale. I've so much to learn!

Hey ladies, how are you feeling? Can't believe I'm 18 weeks! Had a lovely weekend at an old friend's wedding where I was doing the ceremony music. Couldn't believe it when I woke up with what felt like a hangover the next day... Turns out I seem to have picked up my sister's throat infection. Luckily I had booked today off so hoping I feel better for work tomorrow.

er1983

Anyone???

mrsWhippy

If it's any help, I always found GP appointments to be very routine and quick - in the door, urine and blood pressure, a measure of your stomach and maybe a doppler if you're lucky!

Hope it goes well

Plumella

+1 on what Ms Whippy said

Hi everyone! Hope all's well? I had a meltdown at hospital appointment last week- think all the stress of the big move is getting to me a little; together with work being a bit mental.
Mrsw- great idea to list everyone's dates- might help us to bond a little!
Unfortunately my dates have changed an awful lot but I think 26th Dec. (the middle of the summer when we move so will have it's own challenges- I'll be envying you ll in the cold!!)

Dolbert

Oops, forgot to add myself in :rolleyes:

How is everyone? I'm feeling relatively normal at the moment so I'll enjoy it while it lasts. I did have more MS this morning but luckily it wore off by the time I arrived at work, it's never fully gone away tbh. The flutters are getting ever more apparent too, such a lovely feeling! Looking forward to seeing Junior again for the 20 week scan next week

nuttykat

Doing good here, like you feeling more normal! 18 weeks so another couple before big scan.. Started first bit of nesting today..cleaned kitchen from top to toe.. Think I'll sleep soundly after that!

Whispered

Big scan on Wednesday. Scary stuff!
