Don't be upset - you are dealing with a load of baby brains here!! No-one is intentionally overlookd but if you read through we often lose track or go off on a tangent!
Welcome, come on in and make yourself at home...
My baby brain is worse than ever today - I had to google to remember what type of flour went into yorkshire puds :rolleyes:
Mel - is it your scan tomorrow??
Edit - ignore me - good luck for your scan tomorrow Mel - are you finding out what flavour it is?please listen to MFD - she is a wise woman

I don't think i've seen one of these. I tend to just use normal pillows as I get bigger and tuck them under bump and in between legs. To be honest hough if you are having trouble sleeping due to being uncomfortable, anything is worth a try.brookeslay wrote: »thank You redmel1621 and feelinggood I`ll take note of the whizzing from now on.. Good luck with your scan tomorrow and I agree with feelinggood about dancing tried dancing the samba to SCD last night and I jiggle too much..
One question I did ask was if anyone had a sleep pillow like dream gennii as my bed is on its last legs and i having trouble getting comfy.

Hi Brookeslay and welcome - how many weeks are you and is it your first?
I was looking at the triangular pillows and wedges in mothercare the other day - to support my belly - can anyone recommend either?
Last night, i borrowed my little girls pink sausage shaped, bean filled pillow and lay on my side with it under my tummy, and had the best sleep ever!! It was only a cheap thing from Poundstretcher last year.
I was thinking i'd need the triangular one anyway for when baby is here for feeding.:beer:0 -
MFD - I think we are going to find out. Once we know all is ok. Dh wants to and I am curious to know if I am right about it being another boy.

My friend gave me a double sided bump pillow after she gave birth a month ago - it's like a strip of fabric with a semi-circular pillow either side. I tried it once when hubby was away and it was the worst nights sleep yet...not sure if that was because hubby was away or because of the pillow - I woke up every time I turned over to reposition myself!please listen to MFD - she is a wise woman

I'm just using my v pillow for on the sofa and plan to use it for feeding etc once bubba is here. I don't see how it would work in bed ????
I would love a dreamgenie, but am not uncomfortable enough to justify the price just yet!
I can't promise that all my replies will illicit this responser.mac, you are so wise and wonderful, that post was lovely and so insightful!

I'm not sleeping that well at the moment, really achy. Can't see a pillow helping - I'm one of those who moves about all night. Perhaps that'll change when I get bigger!
Anyone have any experience of being very overweight and pregnant? I've got such a big tummy anyway, I'm struggling to imagine what I'll look like with a bump. Will I still get a bump?Stay-at-home, attached Mummy to a 23lb 10oz, 11 month old baby boy.0 -
Hi Brookeslay and welcome to the thread!
Lots of good luck for tomorrow, Redmel! Wonder what your lemon bump will turn out to be? I have my 4D scan on Wed and I can't wait!
FG, I'm overwight
and yes I have got a preg tum! It just took a little longer to show. If you have a high BMI and BP like me you might be consultant led and have alot more appointments and scans than usual.
