Hi all, haven't posted here in a while. I hope everyone is doing well
. I was out at the Pregnancy and Baby Fair in the RDS yesterday. I picked up some great bargains and felt so broody looking at all the beautiful babies. I saw an amazing offer from Baby Elegance. They were offering a complete new arrivals package for 999e. The package includes everything you'd need from the pram, carry cot, foot muff, cot, cot top changer, Moses basket, high chair and all the other little bits and bobs. I thought it was the best value deal I've seen on baby products so far. Unfortunately I already have a pram and Moses basket so wouldn't make any sense for me to get it. It's worth looking at anyway if you need everything from scratch. 0 -

I'm really starting to feel pregnant now! I noticed I was waddling walking the dogs the other night when I got tired and I had to rush home to go to the loo my ankles are starting to swell now too. Hopefully we'll get some nice weather soon so I can wear flip flops! My friend had a little baby girl last night though and has not stopped gushing about how amazing it feels so I know it will all be worth it in the end!! 0

I notice when I am not pushing the buggy I waddle, so I tend to push the buggy when I can
I can't wait for better weather, I haven't bought many heavy maternity clothes and though I hate dresses, I planned to get a few maxi style for the summer for convenience, so the warm weather better hurry up!!!
It is worth it, the sleep disrupted nights are well worth it when they do little things like hold their heads up themselves for the first time, or smile at you, my goodness you melt at their smiles, trust me Big gummy beaming smiles, even at 4am when you feel like you are fit to kill, poof, gone, and you're smiling with them! 0 -

How's everyone doing? six months today, three months left, it seems like forever but i know it will fly in. I'm getting paid this week so i'm going to go and buy the going home outfit. I can't wait had a bit of a scare as some of you may saw in the moan thread, but everything thankfully seems ok at the minute. got reassurance from the nurse you've to count 10 movements in 10-12 hours, not in one hour which is what i had been doing. Was reading in the June thread and one woman is down to 9 weeks. How scary is that!? I've 13 to go myself, but I know once july hits it'll be countdown! Getting scared and excited!! Hope everyone is doing well! Only two more months until it's our month!! 0

What date are you due?
at the end of this week, it will be 11 weeks til my due date (10 til my original!!) and 9 weeks left in work for me too. Have you got your maternity forms sorted out? It feels a bit daunting to me but it probably wont be once i actually get started.
I have fatigue too, I am low in iron so taking supplements but sometimes it is still horrendous! Last night whatever way she was lying, her bum/back/leg/something was properly sticking out. It gave me a heart attack, i felt like i was actually touching her. I woke up at 2am and it was sticking out again, but in a different place. it was insane to feel it! Bad thing though was i couldn't get back to sleep until about 6am then i woke up late for work then as i was rushing in, my stomach seized and i had to slow down making me even later oh well! 0 -

Hi Loubian,
Im due on 17th July Sounds like theres not much between us! Whats your date? I havnt got the maternity forms sorted yet but will be looking into it the next week or so, think you have to have the form in 6 weeks before you are due to finish. Work are currently trying to find my replacement and its really hitting me now! :rolleyes:
Had bloods done on my last appointment with midwife to check irons but I havnt heard back so assuming all is good! Im taking supplements anyway so hopefully that will be enough
Yeah, movements are definitely more intense and stronger now. Baby is breech at the moment so Im constantly seeing the head moving here and there :eek::)
Sleep isnt too bad for me, I find it hard getting comfortable but once I am, Im out for the count! Think thats down to the fatigue though!!
Ive learned now that its just not worth rushing for anything! If im gonna be late, then im gonna be late. Ive often had to run for trains but now I just stroll at a leisurely pace 0 -

I'm due 22nd July although i am trying to get it in to my head i could go two weeks over. I was a week late, my brother was ten days and my cousins were two weeks late. I know it might not mean anything but it's better to be thinking that way then to think i'm going to do early!!
Yeah, i'm going to sit down tonight and get the forms filled out if i can. They're also trying to find my replacement in work too, my brother is actually applying for it :P it would be handy to train him in!
I got the bloods done too - my sugars were fine, but iron was low. I was told to ring them to get my results, so maybe you could ring just to make double sure that everything is ok i'm sure it is anyway!
I had an appointment about two weeks ago now and the baby was in the head down position. She's been that way all along so am hoping she'll stay like that. But saying that, it definietly felt like a head or bum last night! I have another app 4th june, so we'll see how we're getting on!
Have you booked in for antenatal classes?0 -

Thats a good point about going over - I must ask my mam if any of us were overdue!!!
That would be seriously handy if your brother got it!
I did book my antenatal classes and had my first one last Monday. Was interesting but nothing I didnt already know / hadnt already experienced! More interested in the next few classes which do signs of labour, etc.
wolfpawnat - I see nothing wrong in hoping its 11 weeks!! I am dying to meet my little one 0 -

I am sick of feeling fat and waddling!!! I know it is not fat, but the waddling is making my 4 year old imitate me and my partner to laugh. It is funny, but annoying too I really need to get my ass in gear, I've done nothing, well I have been training no1 into a lot of things, walking beside the buggy, getting used to the idea the cotbed is no longer his, but still. I have to get the baby gear sorted.
What sort of baby gear did you decide on JD24?0 -

Ive settled on the Mamas & Papas Sola for buggy / pram but with the Maxi Cosi car seat. Need to check that the car seat is compatible with the buggy, the website says it is but want to double check.
Also going to get the moses basket and all bedding for the cot since Mamas & Papas are doing a 10% off everything sale this weekend:D:D
Still not 100% sure about the cot, theres one I really like in Mamas & Papas but some of the reviews RE putting the cots together arent great. My dad is a carpenter so am not too worried but at the same time I wanna get good value for my money! Theres a similiar one in Mothercare so Im not stuck
My first big purchase was the sterliser set (Tommy Tippee) after our 20 week scan and just clothes since then
I should probably do a list.....
Do you have much to get? Must be so handy already having everything from your first 0 -

I went Mothercare on everything, after the first 500e (sterilzer and travel system) they started with the 10% discount on a rocking crib, car seats, everything. But then again I have the MIL from hell who bullies them into it! She has her uses
High chairs and the like you can leave a while, but they will be on the list for later. As for the Mama and Papa's crib, my friend had one, awkward enough to put together, but a good sturdy crib and it was a good cotbed after too.
I have very little to get this time, a few clothes, bottles in case the breastfeeding doesn't go as planned again and a buggy board for no1. It is handy having so much, he is the only grandchild on both sides and there is no one else having children on either side. My partner's sister is over 20 years older than him and my brother is over 10 years younger than me, so we didn't have to share anything so we know everything is perfect and the only thing we have to worry about is getting it to Dublin 0 -

Big 3 0 for me today - as in 30 weeks!!:D:D
Cant believe how quick its going!
Went shopping at the weekend, my house now resembles a baby shop!!! Think I have everything but the cot.... Not too worried about that though, have a moses basket and getting a lend of a crib off my sister so baby is covered for first few months if I leave the cot on the long finger!
Hope everyone is keeping well 0 -

Congrats for getting to 30!! Only 10ish more weeks to go til you meet your little baby. I'm 29+2! so only a few days behind you!
I'm the opposite to you - i have the cot but nothing else. We got the cot early as my niece is still in one and she was staying over a few weeks ago and was too big for the travel cot! I probably won't start buying until june! What did you get? Do you know when you're going to start getting your hospital bag ready?! 0 -

I know! Wont be long til its our month!!
I got the buggy with carry cot (and everything that goes with it!) and car seat with base. Got moses basket, baby bouncer, all nursery furnishings, etc. Mamas & Papas had a good sale on over the weekend, got 10% off buggy and 50% of all nursey furnishings Im getting a crib, baby bath, travel cot and monitors off my sisters Have steriliser a while now - that was our first big buy after our 20 week scan
I feel like I have most of what is needed (!!!!) but Im gonna do a list and see what Ive left out!
I read on some of the websites that you should get your hospital bag ready around the 32 week mark! I havnt got anything for the bag yet so that will be my mission over the next two weeks.
I heard both Mothercare and Mamas & Papas do sales in June so should be a great time to buy! 0
