Thanks NyquistFreak
I'm actually looking for solid colours in a rainbow set if you know what I mean so an orange one, green one, blue one etc but in primary shades although I would appreciate the info re the striped ones also I saw a pic on a website of about 10 babies each in a bright coloured babygro ( like you I'm not sure what they are def called) and now I want them but the silly website didn't sell them it was just a cute pic they used :rolleyes: 0 -

How about something like these: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/FUNKY-COLOURED-BABYGROW-SLEEPSUIT-fancy-dress-/290511669316?pt=Baby_Clothing&vti=Size%090-3+months&hash=item895f5890ab i've been looking for them too: they are so hard to get!
Kinda Cyning but I'm hoping for pea green, aqua blue & the likes...they must exist somewhere I'll be sure to let you know if/when I find them!
Such things having several different names doesn't help :rolleyes:0 -

Kash poor you.
We went for dinner last night - I had cravings for Cantonese duck last few days & really hard day at work, so hubby took me for a date.
And later on the evening, when we were at home hubby felt baby kicking. Only twice but look on his face: D
we are painting nursery today - white - to cover brown walls. and in few weeks green 0 -

@ Kash, hope you're feeling ok now & glad baby is fine. Ouch!
@Kiwi, my OH helps around the house, luckily! If I have to work on Saturdays he'll always have the place clean for when I get home. I still reckon it's 70/30 to me though but can't complain! I've already been warned that as soon as the little one arrives there'll be no more Saturday cleaning! Then again I can't promise I'll be cleaning either so we'll have to just be happy living in a tip with our little girl (at least until we can train her up to help out!!)

That was me thanks for that...getting closer! I have found some by little seed but boy do you pay for wanting something other than pastels :rolleyes: 0 -

My other half is wonderful & still prefers me not to hoover despite me checking with the doctor that it was ok but then we aren't your traditional family which I guess makes a huge difference!
It must be so frustrating to be pregnant & still expected to do everything...I would find it frustrating to be expected to do everything pregnant or not :rolleyes:0 -

My hubby does a lot of cleaning around the house in general, but is really taking the brunt of it since I got pregnant - which is a real relief to be honest! He's a real legend.
I took the plunge and bought some cloth nappies:

I'm not too worried about the extra washing, and they seem really easy to use plus, they look awesome! I bought little matching leg warmers and everything 0 -

Hubbie finally felt baby kick: 24 weeks! Was so excited
He does all the cooking in our house, we do have a cleaner who does an hour a week and he does everything else at moment: I do washing. Normally I do alot more but I can't now! He's pretty amazing at best of times worth his weight in gold
I got flowers today for mothers day 0 -

I wish it could but I don't have any ok looking trousers or shirts for work this week - and we have quite strict dress code.
But it will take only half an hour
Alice is kicking today like mad, and my hubby is calling her litter kick-boxer. 0 -
Washing my babygrows and vests for my hospital bag: they are all hanging up on the clothes horse now drying: they are so small and cute It's making it feel so real: less than 16 weeks (probably closer to 14 for me) and I'm going to have a baby... a nice healthy baby. And I can stop vomiting every day! And have my life back! 0

So, hubby is safe and sound in Budapest for the next 4 weeks. I miss him already - the house is very lonely without him. Sometimes living in the middle of nowhere has its disadvantages. At least he has a good internet connection, I don't know what we would do if there was no Skype!
Melody is kicking away, I think we may have a tiny dancer in there. My friends keep asking me to explain what it feels like, but I find it completely indescribable, it's such a unique experience. And the bump is so solid!
I started listening to the GentleBirth CDs in earnest over the weekend, and now that I'm over the inital giggles, I think they will help. I must sound like a right hippy with my hypno-birthing and my cloth nappies 0 -

Hi Kash,
Glad your hubby made it safe & sound...I can imagine how lonely you must feel but Skype is a wonderful invention should make it that little bit easier!
Did you buy the antenatal pack for 70euro (not the vbac one)? I was thinking about giving them a go but was never any good at meditation so not sure if they will work for me if they would ease labour I'm happy to join the hippy club 0 -

Thanks TwoMums - we've spent long periods of time apart in the past, and we do cope, but it's not easy. He was stuck in Cairo when all hell broke loose there last year - the worry was intense, but I think if we can get through that, we can get through anything.
It's the one for 69 something: GentleBirth™ Antenatal Program
There's another thread around here somewhere with a good few other Mums who have heartily recommeneded it.
I'm not much good at meditating either, but I've popped the mp3's on my phone and listen to them either first thing in the morning, or last thing at night. I'm also avoiding all birth stories (no 'One Born Every Minute' for me, thank you!) so that the experience will be mine alone. I'm a big believer in the fact that your imagination can make things much better or much, much worse, so I want to help it out in whatever way I can.
Hubby thinks I am a bit mad, but he happily supports me in all my crazyness if it makes me feel better.0 -

I agree with you Kash, a lot of it can be in your head. So if the Gentlebirth stuff is getting someone into the right frame of mind then it's the right thing to do. I really think fear stops a labour progressing at key points & then this leads to interventions.
I've never experienced serious pain before, ie; I've never broken a bone or had a major accident or any serious painful health problems so I have absolutely no idea what my pain threshold is like or how I'll react.
I'm just going to go into it with the certainty that whatever is happening is natural and just follow your body's instincts and urges I guess (& listen to my midwife).
Also it's good to know that most women go through that crazy transitional stage right before baby is about to make an entrance where they are like "ok, not doing this, changed my mind, can't do it!". I'm hoping I'll be with it enough to recognise what is happening and just push (!) on through.0 -

Oh that must have been really scary! I was a tourist there many years ago when they blew up the bus outside the museum & that was scary enough so I can only imagine how terrifying it was last year!
I saw the other thread...knew nothing about hypnobirthing prior to it We have seen a few "one borns" but I tend not to watch them either. To be honest it's more so my partner doesn't end up fainting when our time comes she will be no good to me if she ends up on the floor :rolleyes: but I agree that your mind can certainly make things worse & probably better 0 -
Mink, I've had broken and dislocated bones, a lumbar puncture AND I suffer from someone pleas kill me now migraines, by far the worst pain I've ever experienced. So I'm pretty damn sure of exactly where my pain threshold is.
I think I'll manage I will manage - especially as I know the pain is not constant, but is more cyclical. I'd love to do it drug free, but if it all gets too much, there is always an epidural - it is a lady's perogative to change her mind, right? :P
TwoMums, it was HORRIBLE! Lines of communication went down one by one, eventually I was left watching Al-Jazheera news and having them report that rioting and shooting had moved into the Maadi region, which was where hubby was staying. It was a really tense few days. Some Egyptians he worked with were shot, and one of his house mates was hit in the face by a thrown rock. He said the airport was like a giant rugby scrum, with poeple crushing and trampling women and children in their bid to get to the front of the lines.
The Gentle Birth stuff has tracks for partners too, so it might be perfect for yours, especially if she is really nervous. You can giggle at them together 0 -

I probably shouldn't be watching them either, in fact my midwife said to me it's best not too. And really she's right as it is dramatised to make for good telly. As I've said before the show does tend to show the real drama births or unusual births and you don't see all the "run of the mill" ones. It's nowhere near as bad as the American One born!
But I love watching the wee babies finally getting born and seeing the family together for first time, always chokes me up.0 -
Kash that must have been truly horrible...now that I'm pregnant I worry about my partner driving to work :rolleyes: Thankfully he made it out ok & Budapest must seem pretty safe compared to that!
She is just a bit queasy...she is working on toughening up but will prob get those disks & have a go anyway
Sounds like your pain threshold is pretty decent...I've had 1st-3rd degree burns down my leg...there was A LOT of swearing An epidural is def on my list if needed...I'm not someone who needs it to be a natural birth...if she decides to come out via c-section so be it...safe & sound are my priorities
Fingers crossed, I haven't had a single migraine since being pregnant (touching wood madly)!0 -

Of course plain ole simple births don't make good telly...worst part for me was that super chirpy midwife...we were looking at each other saying she would drive us mental
Def not watching the American one...my friend was telling me about it & I'm having none of it
I'm amazed they get so many people to agree to it...no camera crew would ever be filming me giving birth!0 -

I know Mink...couldn't cope with her at the best of times but esp not in labour!
If its the first scan you have had in awhile then I suspect they will do bloods/urine. My urine is done at every appointment! The consultant will prob check size of head, abdominal size, length of legs etc to make sure they are all growing in proportion. Depending on the consultant they may explain what they are at or just zip through it themselves!
If you want to know the sex mention it at the beginning...if you don't ask they won't tell you
My partner has been listening to my belly for ages & before she could feel kicks she could hear the baby whooshing around in there...it is a nice aspect that's just for them now she normally gets kicked when she puts her head on my bump 0 -
so there we are, after our first intimate encounter in a while,
oh looks down at my round solid belly and proclaims "i just saw your belly move" moves in closer and it moves again "sorry baby!"
Javagal, it seems they like the uterine contractions that come with intimacy so it gets them moving but it's nothing to worry about albeit a little off putting 0 -

Having them in the car seat for a short walk or quick zip around the shops is fine & that's the benefit of a travel system...if you are just popping out you don't need to move the baby from one part to another! We talked to a woman who said on a 3hr journey you should take the baby out and let them have a little stretch at about the halfway mark
The buggy search is a nightmare...if you can find the one or two you want & then try search it out online you can get many second hand as mums have second children or just didn't get on with the buggy...there are plenty of pramaholics out there that just keep buying new pram systems! 0
