    Don't be silly Kindof - you've got a lovely bump :) I've got a belly too mostly thanks to Sainsburys starting to sell Milka chocolate about 6 months ago :rotfl:

    Eh?! Not on that pic you don't!!

    How old is everyone else on here, if you don't mind sharing? I always assume that I'm quite young, but not sure if that's just me, I'm 26 so prob not that young really!

    Aww thanks Gymfiend :)

    I read that underwires arent good while pregnant but I am a DD (I know some of you are bigger lol) and I cant wear a one without

    I'm now in DD's and got a really comfy 2 pack for £20 from M&S. They're pretty supportive and SOOO much more comfy than the underwired ones I had been wearing!
    See this is why I love you guys. My OH just kept chanting free the havant two when I asked him lol.

    Never thought to take the wires out to make do till i find one!!!!

    I am 30 and currently on 34HH (used to be 32G) and have to say the move from underwired to non-underwired made such a difference in comfort - although not as flattering lol :) I am no looking forward to shopping for nursing bras which is on my things to do list..........

  • Hey all,
    I`ve not been on here for an age, as usual everything happens at once for me lol. Glad to see some new names have popped in to chat.
    Yesterday my last bra broke, the underwire at the bottom of the cup snapped and I'm trying to work out what to do. I have about £4 untill Saturday when I should get some birthday money sooo shall I hide at home till then or hunt for one in a charity shop with my £4 so i can go out???

    Matalan had a load of bras in the sale for £1.50 when I went in yesterday.

    Agewise I'm 26! I was one of the youngest at my ante-natal classes but I don't think I'm a particularly young Mum! When I've been for scans and things and had to sit in the waiting room I've felt quite old!

    Bra-wise I need to go and get measured for nursing bras. I was a 36DD pre-pregnancy and am currently wearing a 36F which fits very well!
    :DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator :p

    morning everyone

    Kelinik my sister had an 11lb5 baby the first time 2 weeks late 2nd was 8lb 4 but 1 week early, no gestational diabetes and the second time round she was monitored with growth scans regularly.
    I had gestational diabetes and the first was 9lb 5 3 weeks early, 2nd 8lb 7 although gestational diabetes was diagnosed earlier and I was told I could increase the insulin if I thought I needed too whereas the first time I only increased it when the consultant told me too, it was the same consultant he just said I knew what I was doing - I regularly increased it and at the end of pregnancy cannot eat anything without it sending my blood sugars through the roof.
    Also that is a really good low risk result, I had 1 in 75 with dd and an amnio so knew I was having a girl and that everything was fine, with ds it was 1 in 365 which meant I wasnt in a high enough category to be offered the amnio but still thats not low risk imo it was a worry but the scans went well.

    Sometimes I have to wonder why I'm going through all this again but then I think of the baby at the end and its worth it. Last time for me though the risk of the diabetes not going at the end is enough to put me off doing it again and there are only so many c-sections I think my body could cope with.


    Oooooo thanks for that MERFE. Was your sister induced with the 2nd bub? Think I'd be really shocked to have a smaller one this time, let alone under 9lb - mentally gearing myself up for 11lb tbh.

    So you've had sections for both of yours, yes? Is this because of the gestational diabetes do you mind me asking? Please feel free to ignore me if you'd rather not answer. :)
