We also have this one! It’s fantastic and the straps have clips which clip to the handles of the pram!
I think this is the one I have too 😂

I could do with getting a little separate bag to put the nappy stuff in so I can just take it out if anyone has any recommendations?
 
You are so lucky, I feel I haven’t had more than two hours sleep in a row in months. I’m not tired to be honest and that need to nap is gone but I was thinking am I now prepared for the sleeplessness nights that are nearly here and also when I am ever going to get a full nights sleep again… mad the things we think. My partner is going away this weekend and I was thinking this will be the last weekend for a long long time that I’ll ever be on my own.. can’t believe how close it is joe until Baby T is here.. 😁
There’s no winning is there? I’ll be an absolute state and you’ll be more prepared! Enjoy the weekend on your own! I had one like that a couple of weeks ago, I can’t say I did much other than some mad nesting 😂

I know, that’s the plan.. I have an urgent need to scrub all the kitchen presses.. 😂😂 looking forward to it though, just going to take myself off to my favourite brunch spots with my book and hope Baby T stays out for another 3 weeks 😁

This is me!! Get spurts of energy to clear out an area, pull it all out & then it’s worse than it was at the start.
My washing machine broke last night mid load & I cried as if someone had died. Considering just getting it to an acceptable level of clean and treating myself to a once off deep clean from cleaning company.

I've got an antenatal appointment in a mo, totally lost as to what this is for, but jeez these wee samples get harder and harder to do the bigger bump gets aren't they? Think mine just now went everywhere but the sample pot 🙃

As a fellow HG sufferer - I took an extra dose of my meds at the very last minute I was allowed to have anything for mine(midnight). It still wore off but nowhere near as bad as it would have if I’d had the normal dose at normal time and not been able to eat or take them when I woke up. I took a big water with ice with me too for lots of sips. If you tell them you have HG and will struggle they told me they’d find a side room with a bed for me if I started to feel sick because obviously if you do vom the test is void. I also made sure I had my meds and something to eat with me for as soon as the second blood test was done. And have something to do on your phone that’s going to occupy you so time goes faster.
I was told to be here at 8am but they didn’t actually start until 9am so I had a bit of a moan and was ready to just walk out because I already felt ill. Had the drink and was sick right after, but she told me it’s fine if I’m sick, she told me not to hold it in. I think it was just the sip of water I brought back up. Hopefully it’ll be ok, don’t feel too bad for now.

I was thinking that on Tuesday and was wishing I’d followed the advice here and brought a bigger vessel. Thankfully I didn’t miss this time

Nah I’d be the same if my washing machine broke 😂 I feel I can’t keep up with all the washing at the moment!
I think my house is more stuff than dirty - all the last minute Amazon parcels and stuff that I need to sort through !
It’s more the thought of what if I go into labour now and people come round my house and see the state of it haha

Exactly! Mine isn’t dirty just messy. Piles of clean clothes I’ve no energy to put away. Piles of delivery boxes in the corner. Counter in the kitchen full of shopping I can’t bend down to put in the press 😭

I had to wee in one of those cardboard pots at the hospital and I managed to spill it on my trousers as I was removing it, which is arguably worse than getting wee on my hand with the plastic one because at last I can wash the wee off my hand 🤣🤣😭

Oh me too, we’re having decorating done and all the baby stuff / general junk is in boxes or cluttering up other rooms in the house - it looks like we’ve just moved in and it’s making me so stressed! I start my maternity leave at the end of the week and wanted to spend the last few weeks nesting and resting, but looks like I’ll be doing lots of cleaning and putting together furniture instead! Just hoping this baby doesn’t come early 😩

I absolutely cannot understand why they don’t let us do it at home/ get something like a she wee/ give us a big container to pour it into the sample pot. I had to bring all mine back to the midwife wrapped up in paper towels as I’d weed all over my hand and the label as well. The sample pot was the tiniest tube a man might have struggled with 🙃

Whoever is in charge of the NHS resources and supplies here is clearly a man 🙃💀

I got stung before by this so this time as I was doing my sample I had to remove all my lower clothes and hang around in the toilet cubicle dressed like Winnie the Pooh 💀

I always pick up a sample pot from the GP in advance and do my sample the morning of my hospital appointment at home. So much less stressful.

That’s what I’m going to do! Ours our pre printed labels done on the day I think but it still would be a lot easier to pour the doctor’s sample pot into theirs in the toilets

How did you get on for the rest of it? How are you feeling now?

I’m completely fine thankfully! Had to wait in maternity assessment before doing the test and it was really warm so started to feel a bit ill then and think I was just over thinking it. I was sick as soon as I finished the drink but only a tiny bit and then seemed to be fine after that. The room was cooler and I took my work laptop and iPad so was distracted by doing things which probably helped. I was supposed to be going to work after but just came home to bed to have a chill day.

One thing it has made me dread going into hospital for having baby now though. Why are people so annoying? One woman spent most of the time on the phone speaking to her other kids, really loudly and if that’s not bad enough she kept asking them what they’ve had to eat whilst we are sitting there fasting!! 😂

I had a pot once which turned out it had a hole in. Got covered in it. Typically it was right before my blood pressure reading, safe to say my blood pressure wasn’t very low 😭
