Yes, I have a ball, will go have a bounce on it. If I don't get another tightening in the next 10 mins I know it isn't anything starting.

I dont know if my bump has changed shape or i've lost weight but my trousers just aren't fitting anymore. I havent eaten for a few days because I've been ill so that's probably it. Feel a bit bad though, i`m supposed to put it on not loose it!!!

My Maternity trousers are looser now. I have to wear a bit of ribbon tied around and in a bow (so i can losen it when i sit down lol) if i dont have the ribbon they fall down, but im still far to big for my normal trousers. I think its cause bump has risen up and out of my pelvis so my trousers go underneath the womb area now

These are combats with the stretchy side panels though.

Lol i just noticed your sig says 'fishfinger due...' Is a fishfinger just a baby fishcake then? hehe x

I didn't bounce, just rolled around to help open the hips ups. Bouncing was too painful after the first contractions!

I love fishcakes, but only from the chip shop. The home cooked ones are just... wrong lol. And i dont like fishfingers for some reason

Also, i really fancy a minced beef and onion Pukka pie and some chips (and a fishcake to eat on the way home) but i am poor

Awwwww Poor EA. I can feel your pain, we can't afford to eat out until I find out if I can get JSA and thats quite a wait yet still. Though OH has a £1 bet on so may win enough for some cheesy chips and a veggie burger.

Probably not a good day to ask as it's so quiet, but has anyone with children got any travel cot recommendations? There seems to be a huge range from about £25 to well over £100 and I'm wondering which to go for.....

I have this http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.202-5368.aspx but in grey for DD at my mums and she sleeps fine in it although, last year when I stayed there for 3 months (my Dad was terminally ill) I bought this http://www.kiddicare.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/productdisplayA_55_10751_-1_14053_13322_10001_14053 to make it a little more comfortable for her. The mattress folds in half to make it easier to take away with you.

Mel- thats good to hear about Aptimil, nearly everyone I've spoken to about formula says this one is the best. I plan on breastfeeding but you just don't know how things are gonna work out so I bought a few of the Aptimil ready made up cartons just incase. Can I ask why SMA is bad?

Mine just never seemed satisfied on it and seemed to suffer with bad belly's constipation/diawoowoo/bad wind...they always seemed very grumpy and miserable....changed to Aptamil (well was just called Milupa when had ds1) and the change is instant....

Just Google SMA reviews(or is it any good) you will find hundreds of unhappy mums, although there are people who have had no problems:)

I seem to be getting tightenings about every 40 mins..just braxton hicks do we think??

I think it is the start...mine were like that too, and they also were very irregular, sometimes nearly an hour inbetween, I wholeheartedly agree with jenny GET ON THE BALL....

Yep, I bounced for a fair while but once the contractions kick in it is far too painful to bounce;)

I got paid £190 y'day but £23 went on my overdraft, £10 into my savings, £119.98 to council tax and £28.80 on shopping. I had £1.10 left out of my weeks wages and i got a drink with that today lol.

All of OH's money is for rent and gas and electric

I wish i either got paid more, or i didn't have to pay council tax cause i'd be £119.80 better off, and could get some chips hehe.

We're having cheesy mash, Kievs and Veg for dinner it seems. The baby wants chips though... :rotfl:
