How's everyone doing? What's everyone bought?
Hi ladies, just wondering how everyone is & what stage people are at with purchases? I'm doing fine but not really enjoying being pregnant if I'm honest, it's dragging in! Feel well enough, just not enjoying my changing shape! Lol! So far I've bought- pram (I candy peach2 in black); nursery furniture (baby style baurdoux- excuse my spelling); an electric breast pump (gina's book said get one so I did!); and lastly, a packet of new born asda nappies (angel-something or other!)! Feeling organised! Got a notebook full if lists of things to get! Thanks to gina fords book, lol! I have my 22week midwife appoint on Thursday- can anyone tell me what happens at this one? When do they start measuring your stomach? It's so much quieter here now which is a pity, this used to be a really busy forum. I guess most are off to facebook which is fair enough! Anyways, hope everyone is well!x

Hey
I'd not been enjoying pregnancy very much - I really don't like feeling sick! Now I just feel tired all the time and I'm not enjoying getting bigger either (mostly because I felt like I should be 2 stone lighter before getting pregnant anyway!).
You're very organised So far we've got a pram (Quinny Moodd, currently in the shop until in-laws have paid for it (thank you in-laws!) and we collect in Feb), a cot, mattress, cot furniture, moses basket and stand, 2 chest of drawers, lampshade, baby bath, curtains, a sterilising set with bottles for later or if BF doesn't work out (my best bargain so far!) and baby clothes. We've also started to buy nappies and baby toiletries so we have a nice stock of them by the time baby arrives
Feel like I've got so much more to buy though! I've got a mothercare list and just checking off through that based on what I think is a necessity!
Sorry I can't help with the 22 week appt, I've got my scan on Tuesday and I've been told to book an appt with my GP for 24/25 weeks and then I've got another MW appt at 27 weeks for bloods again (supposed to be 28 wks but that's Xmas day haha).
I don't know where everyone has gone - it's busy on FB but I didn't think everyone had moved across!! x
I meant that I'm preferring the second trimester. I picked up 5 pregnancy and baby books for a tenner second hand last weekend and have been reading them very happily.
Still feels like we have tonnes to get and we're currently having a good clear out so we can decorate the baby's room.
We've had to do a big clear out of baby's room and our other spare room. We've only just got the house back to normal lol.
I have most of the stuff from last time round so all I have bought at the moment is a bouncer chair as I borrowed it last time round. We need some more unisex clothes as I didn't realise quite how much I borrowed until I went in the attic at the weekend and found 3 baby grows and 6 vests lol! 22 week mw appointment, if I remember rightly they do hb, check your tummy bp, urine dip x
I'm feeling much better now, and can start enjoying this pregnancy! Finally stopped being sick a couple of weeks ago. Was having dizzy spells but they stopped the day after i had a docs appointment about it! Had bloods done anyway though so will see if anything comes back from that.
Baby is now kicking like mad, which is lovely, and i've become convinced it's a girl, but still got 1.5 weeks to wait til my 20 week scan when we will hopefully find out!
Haven't bought a thing yet. There's not an awful lot we need as Ryan is only a baby still. On my list is just boring stuff - another cotbed and mattress, a double pushchair, baby monitor, new muslins and dribble bibs. Then a nice new comforter and some clothes once we know the sex. Though if it's a boy we have plenty in the loft to sort through!
