yep no probs.. it was 352 medical on the lisburn road.. highly recommend them, the place is so luxurious, and they are so nice!
we went at about 25 weeks and got these pics... i was well pleased with them, but since she had the cord / her hands up by her face for most of it they only charged us half, which was about £120 i think....




they then let us rebook for the other half at 28 weeks, the pics then were worse cos she had both arms literally up over her face, and wouldnt budge them, so even tho we got a good 20 mins, and the pics & dvd, they didnt charge anything at all that time! i was very impressed!
these are the ones from the second visit..


can just about make her face out in the middle of this one.. whistling lol!


id defo recommend it.. it really REALLY gave me the motivation to carry on even tho i felt so ill.. just seeing her wee face in there.. and also the fact that the ulster WILL NOT tell the sex, and we really wanted to know!

awww she looks soooo cute!! I wish we could have one but we can't really afford it esp with me only being on sick pay at minute. Think it's so unfair that Ulster wont tell us, wonder why they wont.
I'd really bad night last night, I was so sick, even hubby said where is at all coming from cos I'd hardly eaten anything yet it just kept on coming, feel rough this morning, haven't been sick so far but feel like I will. Going to have nice bath after lunch as never bothered yest and I really am feeling minging now. Hate having HG

On the plus though Stephen looked at pram yest while he was out it's a cosatto cabi 3 in 1 in pitch and he said it looked dead on to him but I'll have to see it myself as typical man didn't check size, quality of fabric and hood etc etc. I also like mamas and papas ultima mpx 3 in 1 and silvercross sleepover deluxe freeway (must have swivel wheels) any opinion on any of these prams girls?

Can you send us a link to a website as I don't have any catalogues at home to compare?

Yep, here ya go!
Cosatto cabi
http://www.preciouslittleone.com/acatalog/CSCABIP.html

Mamas and papas ultima 8 in1, this can be bought as a 3 in 1 with just the pram, pushchair and car seat.

last but not least, the silver cross sleepover, though would prob buy this in a darker colour if we went for this one

Louise,

Personally I like the Silver Cross one the most and I agree about the colour. I would chose a darker one too as beige just doesn't cut it for me with a baby. I think I saw this one in Mothercare on Friday and remarked to my Mum about it being a lovely pram but a yukky colour. Now if it came in the poka dots it would be knockout!

Are you feeling any better this afternoon, pet?

I had a terrible bokey start to this morning. I thought it would've been a good idea to have a small banana before I got up. The baby thought otherwise and I was really ill for the first time in three days. I have felt rough all day. I reckon there's another surge coming, at least that's how it feels. My stomach is so huge already with bloat and I have resorted to the old elastic band on the jeans button trick.

Yeah I like them all, gonna just have to wait until I get out to see them all as it's too hard to tell what they're really like from the internet.
Haven't been sick today so far but feel like crap, I swear I think I feel worse when I'm not throwing up than when I am, it's weird.
Had a nice bath this afternoon, but used up all the hot water and had to rinse my hair in cold water - not pleasant at all - but at least it's nice to feel clean!

Stephen finished stripping walls in our bedroom so place is upside down at minute, we haven't got the paint or anything yet but as he can only get time to do stuff at the weekend at least it's a start. He's shattered at the minute cos he's working full time, running around looking after me and trying to do everything about the house, do the shopping etc and I feel really useless as I wish I could do more to help but at the minute I just don't have the energy and it really gets to me cos I get annoyed with him when I see the state of the place, then I feel bad cos I know he's trying his best. I just wish this was over, it's really hard not to get down about it.
I'm sorry you're having a bad day, it's crap when you've had a few good days and you think maybe that's it but then the next day it's back with a bigger bang than before.
All we can do is try to get through it and know that it wont last forever, though it's hard to think like that sometimes.

I'm going to take a look in McCulloughs in Bangor, think they have a better range of prams than Mothercare, there's also a place up near abbeycentre that's supposed to be good too.

Yes, the shop near the Abbeycentre is Samuel Johnstons and I think when the time comes I'll be heading up there too. I got Calvin's pram there 14 years ago! Yikes! Never thought I'd be back.

How are you feeling today, chick?

I got Jenna's pram 2nd hand from a girl who had got pregnant again straight after haveing her daughter so it was like new and only cost about £100 for everything. I then sold it onto a neighbours daughter who used it for both her kids, it was bebecar though they've changed a lot since then, it's so confusing now as there's so much choice and they also seem to be a lot smaller than they were then so I don't want to send a fortune to be replacing it again after a year as this'll be the last for me so I'll prob be selling it on afterwards again. Wish Johnstons or some of the shops over here had a website.

I'm feeling like crap today, I was so sick last night think I scared Stephen, I had some toast and an apple then I was sick all over again, I just went to bed early and left him watching the telly.
Had my toast this morning about 8 then about an hour after had a drink and within half an hour was throwing up again, I swear I think I'm going to have to get one of those splash mats that you use for kids in highchairs!!
Just seems everytime I drink anything I'm destined to throw up, makes me feel like not drinking but I don't want to end up back in Neely ward again.
I think this baby has it in for me!
Hope you're having a better time than I am, so far. On top of all this my hair is driving me nuts, I have quite thick hair which is a nightmare to keep it straight and I have to get it cut every 6 weeks to take weight out of it, cos I've been so sick I haven't had it cut since beginning of Feb and it's just so out of shape now it's really getting on my nerves as it's getting so thick and heavy and it just flicks out at ends, I really feel like a tramp as I'm always so fussy about my hair apart from when I'm at work as I have to tie it back then. Don't even think I could hack the smell of the hairdressers at the minute even just to get a dry trim.
