Welcome September 2013 Babies

I remembered something else about cloth nappies.... My husband has always refused to use any of the nappies that have poppers on the waistband, he will only use the Velcro ones. The poppers are apparently too hard for big man hands to use and he just had too much trouble with them. So he would actually just not change a nappy if we didn't have any clean tots bots!! Lots of other brands have Velcro now too though I think.... I'm not sure if it was just an excuse though anyway.....

I'm showing a little bit but am also eating quite a lot so not sure what is actually bump and what is food lol. Have not been on the scales for ages as still on holiday and I think the scales here a different to mine at home. But I hadn't put on any when I left.

Hi guys, sounds like everyone is getting on ok! I'm going to a nappy workshop on Monday and am so excited! Have taken an unpaid leave day specially which is very unlike me.

I've also bought barely anything.. all I have is a baby record book, a Black Beauty kids picture book (early I know but I couldn't walk past that one!) and just yesterday, a toy lion with a rattly middle as my best friend says they are the best baby toys.

She (my best friend) on the other hand, who is 19 weeks, has basically got everything she needs!! I just find the choices so overwhelming.. I can't even decide on white or dark cot/furniture

First world problems lol

I have my first proper appt with my new MW on Monday, very looking forward to it, hope she uses the Doppler so I can hear the heartbeat. I think I felt some flutters the other night, it seemed like quite a bit of action going on in there so hope it is all ok!

Hi all, obviously a bit late to the party but wondering if I can join the private forum. Due end of Sep with our first bubs :)

Hi All,
I’m new to this forum & would love to join this group. I’m due 25th Sept with our 2nd baby. My husband & I currently live in Australia, but are moving to Hawkes Bay in June/July. My husband is from Napier originally.

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't posted for ages! Have been super busy and just caught up on posts. Nice to hear how everyone is getting on. I'm 17 weeks this week and finally starting to show - still could be mistaken for a big lunch though! I only just let everyone at my work know today. About three weeks ago we had another scare with some unexplained bleeding which was horrible, but after yet another day at A&E everything checked out so I guess it is just one of those things. Hopefully things will settle now I'm well into the second trimester. I'm consciously trying to take things a bit easier too as I think I was guilty of trying to keep working at the same hectic pace I was before I was pregnant. I keep thinking I'm feeling flutters but then they don't happen again for days so I think I'm just imagining it! Looking forward to feeling movement for real. Thanks to those who shared advice about cloth nappies, I really want to avoid disposables right from the start if I can so will try to get along to a nappy lady seminar. I still havent bought a single thing - it just doesnt feel real enough! i think after the 20 week scan when we find out whether we are having a girl or a boy it might finally start to sink in! Hope everyone's doing well.

Hey Sem welcome back! Sounds like you had a great time away, hope the jet lag didn't get you too much when you got back

My new MW is so much better for me, she was really exactly what I was looking for, which was someone like my GP. I feel so much better with her. Phew! Such a mission finding a ne one part way through.

Good luck with your scan decision Sem, thats a real tricky one!
It's all well and good one of you finding out but they are inevitably going to let he or she slip and that'll be the end of the surprise lol

hi everyone,

welcome to all newly joined.
I havent posted for ages.. guess, i just dont get to go online so often now. My hubby started working from home 4 days a week which is great, but means the computer s very much occupied. Also after the first trimestr, my energy is back, which is great. Guess i m not the only one who finds less time for this online forum now....or maybe everyone "deserted to facebook"...?
Also opposite to the first trimestr time flies so much faster:-)
and i can believe that i m already going to my anatomy scan on Monday.
I m so thrilled to hopefully find out if we are havind boy or a girl.
The whole family talks about it, my son wishes for a boy and my daugher for a girl.... nor surprising....so we ll see :-)
Take care everyone!!

If you read back a few pages, you should see the post from the girl to pm about the Facebook group x

I want to revive this thread!
I must admit, I am guilty for being on the Facebook group a LOT more then this, but when I came on to read and catch up on everything and to see that it was pretty dead.. it was sad!
I hope everyone is doing well!!!!!
