    dooleys, tell her she's getting uglier, but she'd look much better if her nose wasn't bleeding. Then when she checks and says, But my nose isn't bleeding! whap her.

    I just converted my weight gain according to my notes - apparently I've gain just over 2 stone :eek: but bearing in mind that my boobs have gone HUGE and I had actually lost weight just before they weighed me last time thanks to being so violently ill... maybe it's not as bad as I think... well I can hope right? :)

    Hi MrsT

    Sorry to disappoint but see my earlier post - boobs don't actually weigh that much! Mine were huge - we are talking 'down to the bottom of you ribcage when no bra on' huge and felt so heavy. I might have lost a couple of pounds but nowhere near as much as I had expected. The consultant laughed at me when I said 'oh this should help me lose a stone!'

    well I wish I had found this much earlier in pregnancy. I had to stop going to the gym about 6 weeks ago and shoul have searched online for something less strenuous. Doh!

    Main reason I spotted this is I am helping OH research a sports and fitness essay for OU, in return for him going to the shops to buy groceries then cook dindins! :D


    Edit: For those who are super slim there is a website who do maternity wear from UK size 4 up to size 16..... http://www.seraphine.com/ unfortunately very few places seem to cater for a size 24 :rolleyes:

    I think at JJ they're on the "cuddly" side at least ;) One of these days I guess I ought to try and weigh them... would be interesting :)
    Have to say though that DH would probably cry if I suggested reducing them from their normal GG/H :)

    Tine, I think I'm about 3lb under 2st gained at the minute... I really wouldn't worry... I put 3st on last time and lost 2 as soon as she was born... I'm hoping not to put 3st on this time... But it's difficult... What with having to eat all the sweets for the free cinema ticket... Oh and I don't care that much anyway... ;)

    Ticklepenny, have you tried simply be? I've got 3 of their maternity tops and 3 pairs of their trousers... But I'm also still fitting in the tunic style tops... As long as they come down low enough to cover the wobbly bit of my belly!
