Afternoon, came on this morning but instead of posting I fell asleep on the bed, oops!

Well done to your hubby AM, hope yours gets something soon Feelie.

Ben had Cranial Osteopathy when he was a few weeks old, he was a screamer after what happened in the hospital.

Pardon my ignorance, but what's the difference between a 'maternity bra' and a normal one?

They're more supportive, because as your breasts get bigger they need more support to ensure the ligaments inside don;t stretch or tear, and to help avoid them being all saggy afterwards.

They tend to offer more coverage as a result so finding nice ones can be an expensive challenge, but it's worth it, as most normal bras don;t offer any support.

They also have more hooks and eyes, as stated, to enable you to adjust it as you grow and get more use out of them.

I haven;t seen any strapless ones thought, and a lot of maternity dresses seem to require one.

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:
