    I found that ealry on I bloated and then reduced to nothing at 12wks. Bump started to appear again then around 16wks (I think!).

    Mamas and Papas had a really good sale on - oh and Asos is good for dresses. :D

    Thanks, at the moment i living in my jogging bottoms that i wear for the gym cos theyre comfy and stretchy, and got a couple of pairs of stretchy trousers that im wearing for work at the moment, havent told them yet so trying to make it not so obvious as by turning up in jogging bottoms im sure a few people will be asking questions why :o

    hes still on about me getting rid, but as every day goes by im getting more and more used to the idea, and even tho he says we cant afford it im sure we will manage. the only problem is his crohns, with the medication hes on he was told not to get anyone pregnant, so unless there is a really high risk of anything being wrong, its definately going to be a keeper :)

    wow I thought I was blind!!!

    I might go and ask for a free contact lense trial somewhere!!!

    If we're going to compare lens prescriptions, mine is currently -9 / -10, though that is underprescribed: should really be -10 / -11 but couldn't get along with the glasses: too much of a jump in one go from what I had. I used to have the gas permeable (hard) contact lenses, and am debating going back to them, as getting hi-index lenses costs a bomb!

    (oh yes, and Glam, you said you don't want to race jillie or harley - does that mean you do want to race me? :p)

    Is it methotraxate????
    Thats what hubby was on and all we got from the consultant was a lecture about how we should have been more careful !!!
    Only real risk apparently is low birth weight and possible hearing or sight problems that cannot be detected before birth, but the risk is VERY low from what we were told.

    it's cos they are steriods - I had steroid injections in August and they said about not getting pg in the next 6 months. I mentioned it to the MW but she didn't seem concerned :confused:

    No OH was on steroids for a long time as well and they never mentioned not getting pregnant when he was on them, it wasnt till he was on the methotraxate that we were told not to try and to still not try for 6 months after he finished his course.
    Its a cancer drug and they have quite a high chance of having a low sperm count after they have finished them as well !!!
    Didnt work for OH !!! He thinks he has super sperm !!!!!! :)

    ETA - you probably knew all that didnt you ???? sorry !!
