@SSFG - what is a grobag? Heard of them but what excatly to they do?? Are they a new concept??

It's like a sleeping bag for babies, this explains it better http://www.gro.co.uk/index.php?option=com_simplelists&view=simplelist&layout=toggle&category_id=18&Itemid=19
This is the brand name company, now there are other versions that wouldn't be as expensive but do the same job. My sister used them, swears by them says they are so handy and they wash well too.
This is the grobag I got in TK Maxx (just the grobag not the whole gift pack) https://www.babyaccessories.ie/p/grobag_tweetie_twoo_gift_of_sleep_ it was €20

I have the sheets and blankets from the boys , they are still perfect so I will use them. I didn't use the growbags myself. They were a newish concept and I always thought the babies arms would be cold eventhough when i put the blankets on their arms would be out anyway My friends swear by them

Will have to buy all new vests and babygros. I got rid of them because the 2 boys wore them. Can't wait to go buying all the little bits. Going to bring the oldest little man with me. Met his teacher for big school this morning. I could feel the tears welling up when she gave me his booklist:( Dam hormones. His start date for school is the 29th of August. I cannot possibly go ten days over again. I will be bouncing on my gym ball and on the hot curry from the start of August lol

Plenty of curry and chilli and you will be flying it please god,

is anyone else really itchy? The last few days i am really itchy all over my legs and my stomach mostly, and when i scratch i get hives, i haven't been able to shave my legs the last week or more because of it :-(

Betsie I could have wrote that! I had them last week. Didn't have them on my stomach only my legs. Same as you I couldn't shave my legs:/ They have gone this week so hopefully yours will disappear too The hives were in clusters on my legs. Its down to hormones not harmful apparently. Did all the internet checks last week. Don't think it can be that PUPPP thing, that is more common in the last trimester. The hives are common in the first pregnancy because of all the changes the body is experiencing. I didn't have them with either of the boys, so I am wondering if this baby could be a little girl?

Spent a few hours in A&E last night with god awful cramps in my stomach. Had them from late afternoon n doc on call said to go straight in! Thankfully it is nothing to worry about. Its muscle pain caused by adhesion's I have from previous surgeries adn obviously the baby moving isn't helping them! I was never so relieved to hear that little heart beat, I just kept thinking the worst. But thank god all is fine and today I just feel like I have pulled muscles in my tummy.

Yeah i have my family around.

I'm 20 weeks this week and i just feel very depressed

His daddy wanted a termination, so now that i'm keeping it, i'm on my own.

Hi Belfastmedic and all, I am due the 9th of August:), so excited, Like you I had a similiar experience at the beginning of my pregnancy but thankfully baby's daddy has come around or should I say coming around, I have great support from my family and him I suppose, he wants to be involved now but doesn't attend the scans or hospital appts, but even if we were together i dont think he would anyway, not that type of guy, but anyway I know what you are going through and there have been plenty of tears on my part (and his too) but all that matters is our baby and it will be so loved, try and enjoy your pregnancy it is truly a wonderful time in our lives.
