    Just had a bath with one of those lush bath bomb thingies, it had all leafy-type things in it and I even found a little glittery butterfly but I won't tell you where! I keep finding bits of it on me now grr - smells nice though!

    this made me giggle, i have an image of midwife finding glitter everywhere if i did that.

    my male colleague came into work once with glitter and a star stuck on his ear - i said nice romantic evening with the wifey and a lush bath bomb? he went bright red.:rotfl:

    I once sent my ex off to the gym after I'd had a Lush bath and he'd wandered in midway.

    It wasn't till he was in the communal shower and people were staring that he realised he had sparkly nethers.

    Hi NMS, still in a lot of pain but a lot more relaxed at the moment which is doing wonders all round.

    "The herb had no harmful effects on mother or baby, and those women who had taken raspberry leaf tablets were found to have a shorter second stage of labour and a lower rate of forceps delivery (19.3 per cent versus 30.4 per cent). However, far more research is needed to confirm these results. "

    Any quicker on the first and second stage then I'll cough this baby out! Thanks, i'll pop into H and B on mon and see which they suggest is right for me, the tablets or the tea.

    Thanks girlies

    My MW is lovely, they know I am struggling so they see me in outpatients as ante-natal is up 2 flights of stairs, the consultant does the same. I even got 2 phone calls today to say that they were running late so I didn't have to sit about waiting, they are :A. When I arrived at outpatients they even phoned over to let me know they would be 10 more minutes. They are great.:D

    That's really good Dawn, must be great to feel like you're in such good hands. Doesn't sound like the most genious idea to put ante natal up 2 flights of stairs though! :rolleyes:

    it's always been there even when I had DS 20 years ago and nowhere for a lift apparently. But it is lovely that they are taking such good care of me.
