Back again!!
He's had TT, MAM and Avent. The only ones he's kept in for long are Avent but he spits those ones out now too. Can't believe I'm trying to get him to have a dummy!! Haha xx

Ahh bless him. lol yeah maybe try something on the dummy like the others suggested.
I have to say, it's a godsend sometimes. Amelia seems to like the comfort of it, and I think it's helping with any teething issues as it's giving her something to suck/chomp on. The difficulty will be getting her off of it! lol but I'd like to do it when she's around a year old if poss! xx

I didn't go, but my friend who's due a week after me went and she wasn't impressed! They were the ones the NHS organise and she said it was very patronising!
This is her first baby too and her sister has got 2 little ones and she said her sister has given her much better help and advice!
But I think it's each to their own on antenatal classes- we didn't go, simply cos of hubby's work, and we kinda kept forgetting to book any and it was too late when we actually remembered!
Some people find them very useful- I would imagine if you've had to pay for them, they'd be pretty good!

very pregnant, fedup & emotional atm :'(
heat is a killer, aching lots! & upset over a friend who died. A couple we got very close to in army (who left and moved near us, but then back closer to family) well he was killed in a car accident on xmas eve... Its so hard without him here. Just the memories of what we would all be up to is making me very upset :'( They basically became part of the family... Nevermind how hard it is for her & their little girl who just turned 3!
i need a drink! lol

Girls I've got a nat bite on my arm that's really irritating me- can I take antihistamines?
I'd normally take cetirizine but the packet says not to take whilst pregnant?

Best not hun. If you have to have something the best one is chlorphenamine 4mg (piriton). We give that to women who have cholestasis and are itchy. Why don't you try some sodium bicarbonate mixed to a paste with water and smear it on it? Then cover it with a big plaster if you have one. Takestheheat out of it. Or a hot cup of tea held against it works too, as it increases the blood flow to the area and removes the itchy stuff x

Aww hugs Jess. It's hard at the best of times without being pregnant as well.
Get your feet in a bowl of cold water with some ice cubes in, pop a damp tea towel in the freezer and then relax with it on your neck, will cool you down

Yes we went to the NCT ones and highly recommend them. The friends you make are also great. I have so much support from them and meet up with them to go to groups and compare issues. Hope you find them as useful as I did x

I think I have some piriton somewhere (hubby has hayfever so we have all different sorts of antihistamines in the house!) if not I'm just about to make a cuppa, so I'll give that a go thanks x

Hi ladies what are you dressing your little ones in while it's hot at night last night for Eva I had her in a long sleeved vest and 2.5tog sleeping bag but it's even warmer tonight (24 degrees) I don't want her to overheat but I don't want her to get cold either, I know they say one layer more than us but right now id quite happily go and sit in a bath of ice (I hate the heat!) so I'm not the best example! X

Hi ladies
I have Cole in a short sleeved vest, a long sleeved sleep suit and just a single layer of his cellular blanket. He won't have a sleeping bag or anything. If it gets too hot I'd probably give the vest a miss and just put him in a sleep suit so his arms and legs don't get cold in the night. I'm not a fan of the heat either and am rarely cold even in winter so I'm not a good example either
