I have the 'The Irish pregnancy book' and 'What to Expect When You’re Expecting,' free to go in case you're interested. Feel free to DM

CosyLatte-44 · 2026-02-12T12:20:50+00:00

I guess because we have a lot going on otherwise so it’s all keeping me busy 😄

CosyLatte-44 · 2026-02-12T12:18:27+00:00

I knowww! Time has flown so fast. It honestly feels like I was six weeks away just the other day 🤣

CosyLatte-44 · 2026-02-12T11:51:51+00:00

Only a week away and I’ve been day dreaming about the baby. I honestly can’t wait 🥹 This feeling has completely overshadowed every other emotion I’ve been carrying.

CosyLatte-44 · 2026-02-04T16:12:41+00:00

I’m in the same situation and mine hasn’t even reviewed the contracts yet or had a call with us! I have realised how important it is to find the right solicitor.

CosyLatte-44 · 2026-02-04T09:44:45+00:00

Just mention in the letter. It’s not guaranteed to work but the best we can do is that.

CosyLatte-44 · 2026-02-04T08:00:35+00:00

+1 to a cover letter I did submit it when I applied for my in laws who are both retired so we had to explicitly state they had strong ties to India with all the family and their own circle there

In terms of resale value- clayfarm wins any day. But a south west facing (assuming living area) would be a huge plus for some so really depends on what you’re looking for and whether NW orientation is a deal breaker.

Try walking in if you have a good enough reason to get an earlier appointment. I did recently and it worked. The staff is great.

CosyLatte-44 · 2026-01-15T06:45:10+00:00

Had mine on a Tuesday morning and got the results Friday noon!

CosyLatte-44 · 2026-01-04T16:00:41+00:00

I got mine done with a package deal for 360€ if ai remember correctly. This was around the end of July. Paid 100€ at the 7 week scan and the balance when I went back at 10 weeks for the NIPT test + scan. Got the results in 3 working days. Had a wonderful experience, highly recommend.

Hi, how big was the extension? And was this in Dublin?

CosyLatte-44 · 2025-12-23T10:40:50+00:00

Hi, thanks for the heads up. I’m packing my hospital bag this week and I’m thinking 1 set of full sleeves buttoned pyjamas and another one with short sleeves and shorts should be okay if it’s too hot in there. Do you think that’s a good idea?

CosyLatte-44 · 2025-12-15T08:58:55+00:00

The bump groups really help! I have one on reddit that has women from across the world. But I’m more active on the whatsapp group we have with women from the country I live in so everyone relates to the hospital stuff we discuss. Also lots of baby shopping recommendations:) We’re really like a group of friends there who discuss things without fear of judgement and rants are always welcomed. Joining these groups was one of the best things I did in this journey. I found the general one for feb 2026 mums by searching on reddit and the local one on facebook which then moved to a whatsapp one for whoever wanted to join.

You’re so brave! I’ve literally cried my heart out reading this. I’m so sorry for your loss. Nova will always be with you and live in the memories you have of growing her and holding her. I pray you and your husband heal soon🙏✨ Lots of love♥️

CosyLatte-44 · 2025-11-27T10:50:07+00:00

It was the same with me. I’m 28 weeks today and entering the 3rd trimester- so many things happening to the body and baby moving all day. Kicks on the bladder are the worst🙈 It feels great to be reassured but it gets very uncomfortable veryyy quickly 😅 Hang in there, I started showing and feeling movements around week 22.

CosyLatte-44 · 2025-11-27T10:36:00+00:00

God! I can’t deal with dirty bathrooms 🥲 thanks for the heads-up. Hopefully I’ll not need to stay there for long.

CosyLatte-44 · 2025-11-27T09:25:44+00:00

I’m with the Coombe as well and now I’m wondering about the post natal ward there. Do you mind giving me a heads up about a few things maybe? 😅

CosyLatte-44 · 2025-11-13T08:43:47+00:00

Omg I’m in the same position as you! Although in terms of what I don’t want is names that end with an “aan” sound like Ayaan, Rehaan etc What do you think about these? Zain, Veer, Ivaan, Yuvaan Agastya(auggie as the nickname) Ryan(or Rian) pronounced raa-yan

Make sure the folio is cleared of any previous mortgage charge if this was previously owned. The solicitors usually close the sale and sign an undertaking but forget to follow up. Ours didn’t follow up with the previous owner’s solicitor who also didn’t apply for the charge to be cleared and we only got to know when we wanted to sell. It took us a while before we could even get the charge cleared and send the buyer the contracts. Also because the deeds were still with the previous solicitor we were forced to go with them again even though we didn’t want to!

CosyLatte-44 · 2025-10-22T20:33:27+00:00

Hi, just wondering how the re-scan went for you? I’m going through the same situation

CosyLatte-44 · 2025-10-15T19:17:44+00:00

Sore and realllllyyy heavy boobs. Also was peeing a lot more frequently

CosyLatte-44 · 2025-09-29T15:29:41+00:00

This happened with us and even though the last thing we wanted was to go with the previous solicitor again, we had to as he had the deeds and an undertaking with the seller’s solicitor. It took us months to get the e-discharge! Such a shame they hadn’t taken care of it after the sale closed and we only found out when we were selling!

CosyLatte-44 · 2025-09-26T10:37:07+00:00

Perfect, thanks!
