Sorry I’ve been so hopeless ladies All good here 35 weeks today and booked in for c section on 8th august!

Just joined the what’s app!

It’s also a pain they don’t let you upload pics on here as I’d love to see your mural!

Hi all, Tazzy I hope all is going ok and you’re recovering well from your section and little boy is adjusting well. I’ve been thinking of you and your family and am keeping everything crossed that everything works out amazingly 💙 Welcome MillieMay, glad your pregnancy is going well. Another girl ad...

Hi everyone, So so sooooo sorry to have disappeared for a bit- when I had so much to read through I realised I’d not been on here in a lot longer than I thought 🙈 We went on holiday in wales the end of March with little reception so think I lost track then and after that I kept getting ready to read...

Tazzy I hope you get out of hospital quickly especially in this sunshine! Lou hoping things are okay and mild. Good to hear I’m not the only one not going in places and being careful. The world seems to be acting like covid doesn’t exist any more but after my asthma attack a couple of weeks ago I’m ...

Pigletina and cooler Lichfield isn’t too far south of Stafford. So definitely possible to meet and we go to Stafford fairly regularly as my husband went to uni there and all his friends are down there. One is south of Stafford in rugeley. Maybe we all could meet up?!

[quote=Leanne87 post_id=1047280 time=1647795055 NannyBea where do you live? I live about 20 mins from The Cheadle JL and love it in there-great that the baby section is right by the cafe too 😂😂 Hey Flash I live just outside Leek in Staffordshire nowadays. But I grew up in and around Greater Manches...

Morning ladies, I spent yesterday in a terrible mood. We had the maternity pay chat last week and hubby created an excel sheet and it has been pretty much confirmed I can’t take the full year off because we simply can’t afford it. I’m absolutely devastated and still want to take it anyway. My mum h...

John Lewis has EVERYTHING so you should be ok! I've been very impressed by their "Anyday" range too, which is extremely competitively priced. I got a new mattress for the crib from there. I needed a specific size and was cautious about buying online due to wanting to make sure it met with...

Hi ladies, Unfortunately my DS wouldn’t latch - I think and am convinced a tongue tie was missed 😬🙄 so I exclusively pumped for nine months. It was lockdown so it was feesible. Wouldn’t do it again tho and would invest money in a lactation consultant and get a second opinion! There’s loads of fb gro...

With my first I wanted hypnobirthing water birth… I ended up with three failed inductions and a failed water breaking and after 3.5 days they called it and basically said the only way my DS was coming out was by c section and I have to say it was a very calm way to have a baby. As I went into recove...

Oh that’s good to know as have no history of family diabetes. Yeah wish I’d lost some before pregnancy but I have eaten my way through lockdown so hey ho! Hope I don’t have to have the drink like I did last time

My main worry with my weight is I was just over the BMI 30 threshold 30.6 so got to have the GTT done and just don’t want to end up with gestational diabetes and have to eat boring food for the rest of the pregnancy

Also just to say Lou- I did also get my blood pressure checked just to be on the safe side with the headaches as I’m a risk of preeclampsia due to different factors so would recommend if as a precaution. Also I don’t know if you wear glasses or not but my eyes changed focus and I needed them more t...

I found first time around once I was past the 20 week scan and could regularly feel the baby moving I settled into the pregnancy more. I just had my 16 week midwife appointment and it took them about 5-10 mins to find the heartbeat 🙈🙇‍♀️ He was tucked right in and kept moving 🙄 definitely a bit 🙇‍♀️...

Start planting the seed now with the names you like 🤣 for girls I like Edith, Beatrix and Addison. But still a while to go so sure I’ll change my mind. OH really dislikes the name Beatrix so been trying to change his mind lol xx Willow has a little friend at nursery called Bea and she is adorable, ...

Common on ladies any more baby names 😂 At the mo the one that seems to be sticking is Elijah James to be able to odd occasions shorten to EJ maybe or Elijah Benjamin. I always loved Reuben but our surname ends in n so it just sounded like too many n’s - I do seem to gravitate towards older biblical ...

Hi Euca, Just saw you hadn’t had a reply and thought I’d just let you know that our clinic care Manchester doesn’t allow anyone to have treatment for a minimum of 4months after having covid so maybe that could be a useful guide as I’m sure they would have a medical reason for saying that amount of t...

Hi people, I’m booked in for my Covid booster on the 2nd and my flu jab the following week. Have you had both of these? What should I expect and is anyone not getting the booster? I’m still in two minds. Thanks in advance! Lou, I had my flu jab before ivf this time but had it after 12 wks last preg...

All was well thank you ladies and the baby was boxing and drinking on the screen (hoping this isn’t what’s to come!) For us it’s another boy - so thankful that he’s healthy but if I’m honest there is a tinge of disappointment as this has to be my last pregnancy as I’ll be 43 by the time the baby is...

I quite like the name Elijah but I’m not sure with a Joel of that sounds all too religious. But just starting to think now

Just off now for my 16 week scan to find out what we’re having feels forever since we last saw the baby and after the stress a few weeks back it will be lovely to see them! So weird to feel we are about to know what our family will end up looking like!

Oh Lou thank goodness! Been checking everyday since Friday in case you had any news. So relieved to hear and glad you are doing well. Give yourself some time to chill now and enjoy your pregnancy. Flash my private scan was at 16 weeks and they were able to clearly see the gender. I did have to wigg...
