Well ladies its official - my fingers are now sausages! I have had to take off my wedding ring because my hands have swollen so much it was cutting into my finger . I have my hydrotherapy session later so I am hoping some gentle excersize will help my swollen feet as well.

Hypno - Enjoy your time off and try to relax.

Tia - thanks for the link re. maternity bras, I am off to have a look.

I'm off to have a shower and get dressed!! lol
Then am going to the Post Office for OH and will potter round town for a bit and test the theory I read that you tan more easily when pregnant (which would be nice as i don;t tan usually).

Thanks for the answers sami bee - i just need to come up with a reason for the family party why i have a given up smoking b given up booze and c why i no longer like prawn cocktail!

Smoking you are saving up for something. Booze - Driving??? and prawn cocktail I would eat it. I ate it loads over Christmas. So long as you know they are fresh/frozen and haven't been left out and all manky you should be fine.

Ahh, thanks ladies! Might be worth grabbing a couple then (maternity bras) - at that price, I can't resist!

Don't go too mad though, you don't know yet how much ur boobs will change some ladies go massive and others don't change at all
Mine just get a bit fuller and I only need to get a bigger band due to big bumpness

MrsApple - Will anyone really notice? (I don't like any of said 3 things so no prob for me ) you could go out for a bit of air and peeps would presume u've nipped out for a fag and drink lemonade/cola they'll not know there isn't a vodka/JD/gin in there and frankly I don't know why anyone would want to eat prawn cocktail anyway _pale_ :cool:

mrsapple_2

my family would notice lol they have kept going on about when hubby and i were going to have a baby. funny thing is we were not even trying, happy accident even if timing is wrong. I don't think i will risk the prawn cocktails as i had food their before and it wasn't great ... that could be my excuse come to think of it.
As for boobs i know it is early days but mine already feel heavier and last night they were so sensitive ... even the duvet hurt!

Bleurgh - agree with the prawn cocktail, in fact anything fish based. Gross

At 18 weeks anyone know where Bean would be in relation to my tummy?
I keep getting this rounded lumpy bit on my left hand side in line with my hip bone - I am sure this is Bean's head but OH said no way!

Just about to polish off a Giant Jam Doughnut with some fizzy Vimto - sugar rush!!

Glam - I doubt its babys head maybe ur placenta is on the front wall on that side
