Tickle - you may want disposable nicks and some face wipes and flannels in case you have a c/s
In my local hosp they but you in their nasty one size fits all paper nicks if you have a section and if you're stuck in bed for a bit they can wash you with the flannels (a dark one for bits and a lighter one of body ) and you can freshen up with the wipes if u feel a bit grubby before you can get out of bed comfortably

Right random rant... we're looking a getting a new fridge/freezer as ours keeps filling up with ice in the bottom so it's near impossible to open... And the water thingy in the door has never worked lol
We found one we liked but everywhere has stopped doing it - seems like it was a good thing as the only reviews I can fin on it are very negative :eek: Shame because it seemed PERFECT grrrr
But now we have to pick something else and there isn't anything else we like out there typical! Want it to be silver in colour to match everything else, need to have decent size freezer as we don't have room elsewhere for another freezer and I can't be doing with these water dispensers in the fridge doors - we can't easily run water to the fridge and I hate the idea of havign to top it up and it wastes door space... any ideas lol

MrsT - I hear ya'. I'll prolly be that size by the time the baby comes, so I can only imagine how difficult it will be to find cheap nursing bras. Bravissimo does sell them for £20-25, but that's not as cheap as eBay of course.

Was disappointed with the maternity bra I just bought off eBay (from the link on here!). Swore the description said it was underwire - and it's not. Plus, I bought the size I always wear (34G) & it comes nowhere near being adequate in the cups! Okay for sleeping, I suppose, but not for anything else.

Bumblebee sorry for your loss.

Congrats to all new mums to be.

Great pics Sammi thanks for the info, in our booking in bloods we only get tested for syphillis, hep b, full blood count, hiv and ruebella immunity.
No downs screening tests offered at all unless you are 35 or over.
Oh and hospital won't tell you the gender either!
Doctor leaving me a script for abx after 2pm so will toddle down and pick that up, more worried that I have 2+ protein in my wee, I had pre-eclampsia with my dd (thankfully only got it at 39 weeks) so scared it's going to come back again and a lot earlier.

aless I actually found that underwired bra's became incredibly uncomfy... I have a non-wired one I wear all the time now. Normally I'd NEVER wear a non-wire but trust me... it's soooo comfy now Soon as boobs return to normal I'll be back to wired though
Go and get a non-wired one from Bravissimo - I know it's a huge leap of faith when you're our size and used to the support from a wired but seriously... try it I'm normally a 32GG so I feel your pain!
(btw went up to a 34J in a wired...)

Tine- take it with you and play stupid.

We must be so laid back on my ward we allow mobile phones and chargers, electric razors, portable dvd players and ds etc etc never heard anyone say anything about it, though I do know legally they need to be passed as safe.

I am now at the same stage of pg when i Lost my bub So am a little worried I won't rest untill i get to 12 weeks and actually see it at the scan. Everything has been completely diiferent this time around though so that gives me hope. First my test was so strong when last time i only ever got a tlp. I have been so tired all the time if i didn't have my ds at home i would be in bed, my boobs are really sore and i can't stop eatting. Had a major panic yesterday though. I was out in the middle of Nowhere and felt very wet i was sure i had started to bleed but when i could check i had EWCM

I even felt a bit sick today and i was so happy :rotfl:

Bloomin tesco just turned up while I was writing this post... Typically I hadn't cleared the sides either... Not that the spotty oik that just delivered the shopping would of noticed... At least he carried the baskets to the kitchen... But he just stood there while I emptied them... I made sure I did it one item at a time though

I did an online shop with asda for the first time on fri and the guy who delivered them (must have been about 60) didnt carry the heavy crates inside for me - just dumped them on the doorstep, whilst I had to lift them into the kitchen (at 41+1). When i was returning the last empty crate to him he asked how long i had left, so it wasnt like he failed to notice i was heavily pregnant!!!

and just seen the 3 pots of hummous i ordered for "healthy snacking" are use by today this is why i dont like online food shopping:mad:

ahh well maybe they just didn't notice/care.
I know they are very strict at my hosp about it due to the fire hazard that could be caused by a dodgy plug

elastigirl - EWCM is normal, you get lots of 'stuff' going on down there it pregnancy *nice* :rolleyes: as long as its not smelly or funny coloured its normal
