    When do we 'get our milk' during pregnancy? I don't remember ever noticing it with the boys (though they were 35 and 33 weekers).

    Topiary... is it now correct to trim? I never bothered before, at all untill after DS2... I do trim now, but am I going for what my husbands preference is or what is acceptable??? :confused: basically, bald, landing strip or triangle? :rotfl:

    We should have a vote 'Foof decoration for labour'.

    Hello again & thanks for pointing me in the direction of 'The List' :D - I'm almost the last atm.
    Keep knocking off the bold, but it insists on staying, so sorry if it stays like that!
    money maker - this little bean will be No. 5, DS 22, DD20, DS 17, DS 21 months. Oh, DS1 also has a little one of his own, so we're grandparents, too! :eek:

    Washing up calling, DH & DS in from night out & work respectively soon, so have to pretend I've not been on t'internet all evening. :rotfl:

    Night all & thanks for the welcome.

    A xo

    Think everyones slightly different, I seem to remember about 32 weeks. It's the clear sticky stuff, someone remind me what it's called please. You have to tweek it out though then it's supposed to be good for putting on your nipples to get them ready.
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p
  • colostrum... and its good for rubbing on cracked nipples... But nipples don't need any preparation ;)
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Thanks Krystal, knew someone would know more than me. I was just a stick 'em on and get on with it mum, sorry!
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p
  • No need to apologise, that's all you need to do with them! (as long as the positioning is correct obviously ;))

    All you lovely peeps are going to and I havent heard of anyone on this site yet that is going to bottle feed !!
    I didnt BF my 1st either, the whole idea of it scares the carp out of me:eek:

    Am I a bad mum????:o

    :p I would have but i was busy 'making' pancakes with choc sauce, banana and cream mmmm one full tummy!! Even after a small tea I only managed 2 pancakes tho, damn baby taking up too much space now, I used to polish off about 6!!:o

    on the topiary 'front' I have one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Remington-BKT1000-Bikini-Length-Setting/dp/B0000YHFTU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=drugstore&qid=1235512306&sr=1-3
    I use it on #1 all over and take the comb thing off for the edges :cool:
    Hubby has the boys one too that he uses for his chest etc

    I gave birth with a trimmed bush but hairy legs!! :rotfl:
