    Was your Mum your birth companion? How did that go?

    hi starnac - sorry to hear about your MIL - hope that she will be ok

    Hello everyone else - had physio today on my knee which was agony - he reckons it will take another 6-8 weeks from today to heal - if I do the exercises, and come back etc or I could be in the same position in 12 months if I don't. So going back Friday which will mean £80 spent on physio in 1 week which is difficult and completely wrecks the budget (but so does not earning)!

    Hi CMD have you finished work now? I bet you can't wait for it to come out. I lost all my weight no problem with my first - within 2 weeks I was back to normal clothes - sadly that did not happen at all second time round - and I currently weigh more than when I was pregnant!

    Hi SavingH,

    Yes, finished up at 37 weeks. It was meant to be 38 weeks but I had racked up 40 hours of overtime in January so I took it off. Am enjoying the relaxation and went for a lovely Thai meal with my OH this evening so we are trying to make the most of our time together as 2. I am not too bothered about losing weight after the baby. I am bridesmaid for my sister in June and we bought the dress when I was 5 months pregnant so I figure I should be okay to fir into that by June!

    Nah - your not deluded you are prob just reading from week to week. That's what I have been doing so at 20 weeks I hadn't a clue what was happening (or supposed to) at week 39!!!
