    hey g-i-s-i, i wore an Isabella Oliver dress to the wedding i went ot on Satruday and i'd say it was worth it, really well cut and the material hung really well. If you're looking for that dress though Seraphine do an identical one for about £30 less, i bought one of those too and it was lovely!!

    Treated myself to a couple of maternity bits in H&M today. Got a really nice black crossover top and some yoga pants type things for lounging around. No bump yet but I am having days when I am so bloated that tight waitbands are a no-no. Plus my boobs are looking a little too voluptuous in some of my normal tops!

    Didn't seen any nice mat wear anywhere else though. New Look's range was pretty naff to be honest. Am seriously thinking about buying an Isabella Oliver dress for my Mum's wedding in June. I love this one http://www.isabellaoliver.com/maternity-clothes/maternity-dresses/Ruffle-Wrap-Dress/D/30100/P/2:100:1020/I/DR060# and they do tend to hold their value quite well on eBay so could always sell it on once baby's here. Anyone bought from Isabella Oliver? Is the stuff worth the money?

    Have never bought from isabellaoliver.com but the dress is lovely and I have seen that label going for almost its rrp on ebay too even second hand, If you didnt want to splash out that much though asos.com always have something in the maternity range at a fration of the price and new things arrive all the time!

    Not sure I like the neckline on the seraphine one... Anyone else notice that maternity stuff is cut ridiculously low... Like we need to emphasise our growing assets?!

    Just had a bloke knock the door for a home improvement firm or something... I said I was not interested and he tried to shove a leaflet at me so I said no thanks and shut the door... He only pushed the flaming thing through the front door! I stormed out and shouted up the street... Then slammed it in the recycling... Honestly... How rude?!

    I don't have a middle name ~ I don't feel odd or different at all.

    Mind you, I don't have any siblings to compare with either :D

    (I've secretly always wanted Bernadette as a middle name, I love it!)



    I'm gonna ask a Q now and hope it's not TMI or that anyone is eating! If so, don't read any further!!!!! :D





    Has anyone got REALLY bad constipation? I've been having fruit juice, cereal, fruit etc and it's just soooooo bad. I was actually sweating and went white this afternoon because it was that bad. I can feel inside that I need to go, but my God, trying to get it out is horrendous :(

    Does anyone know if anything can be prescribed for constipation in pregnancy?

    Thanks for that Hypno. Love that dress too but have my heart set on the IO one in Raspberry so think I will stick with that.

    EA- the prices are a bit :eek:. Not something I would buy usually but this is a special wedding so I think it's worth it, plus I will sell on ebay.
