Might try tying a scarf around them then. I bought an XL belt (although it was difficult to find any belt that fitted around my bump!), but it didn't make any difference as I couldn't pull it too tight and the jeans just worked their way down anyway. Where would I find a cheap scarf long enough to tie around? I don't own any! I will try anything as some days I am nearly in tears at not having trousers that stay up! Thanks.

Fitzio, I got some UTB (not with side panels, like boyfriend type) ones from ASDA on monday and I have to be honest I am loathe to put them in the wash! They are staying up pretty well as I was having the same trouble as you but I've found them very comfy and they dont cut into my bump like some. They were £16 but I had to get something even at this late stage because my OTB ones were getting uncomfortable and were also starting to fall down. HTH.

BTW they had loads of tall sizes, no short ones so I got the regular which seem ok even though I usually need short.

lol, this is why I won't let my hubby touch the new Wispas - I know if he has one, he'll be buying 1 everyday!

Awww poor aless lol I am totally bloated as well lol, I had chicken burger and chips for lunch lol

Ok as I am going to metro centre shopping on sat, can you lovely people tell me where I can get maternity clothes from? I know Next, M+S, Dorothy Perkins do them but dont know where else?

I like H+M although be warned that their sizes are not very generous in their Mat clothes and it is the only place I have had to go up a size from my pre-preg size.

On the weight debate, I've gained just over 2 stone (at 32 weeks) as I weighed myself yesterday for the first time in months. I really think most of that is bump and boobs but I'm not really too worried. My appetite has increased loads in the last week though, but I'm hoping it's just a growth spurt for bubs not a permenant thing!

Really hacked off about an eBay item I have bought. It's three baby grows that I bought two weeks ago, paid straight away thorugh Paypal. Yesterday I emailed to say when would it be sent as it still hadn't been dispatched and just had a rather curt email back saying that 'as stated in my invoice I was away until the weekend and item has been posted today'. Now firstly I cannot find an invoice for the item, and as I paid straight after it ended I may not have received one (I never delete eBay emails) and secondly even if she was away till the weekend then I would expect it to be posted Monday, not Wednesday. Grr....why do people list items to end while they are away .

Sorry for that rant, not been a good day for me and just had to get that off my chest.

Oooh, just got a text from one of my friends to say she had a baby boy a couple of hours ago. So at least I know someone who got the cool birth date of 09/09/09 since it appears no-one here has managed it!! Unless you have disappeared Bear??!

Anyone watching Emmerdale? I never usually watch it, but what's going on with that baby? Is it a doll? Couldn't they have got a more realistic one?!

Hello ladies and bumps,

I havent been on for a few days and dont think Ive got any chance of catching up, sorry. Wide sweeping hugs to all in need, welcomes to newbies, labour vibes to those who want them and apologies for being carp at keeping up!

I cant believe Im 30+4 now, after it feeling like time was dragging Im sure its been speeding up the last few weeks and I seem to be hurtling towards my due date. Still 7 weeks left in work but as of next week Im dropping to 4 day weeks, hopefully this will make it easier as Im planning on working until 2 weeks before my due date but dont know if its wishful thinking that I'll last that long?

Lou - thanks for the fb add, just accepted.

Going to look for the last edd list now to see if Ive missed any births.

I'm here. Nothing happened. Don't know whether I feel relieved or let down. On the plus side my kitchen inc ovens are so clean you could cook a dinner in there lol.

I see there's a list of prams floating around. I'll add what I've bought to it and catch up.
