    I got it in my bounty pack :D
    Its a small sample one, but the lid screws on so i can just refill it :)
    You could get a small spray bottle and fill it with anti bacterial spray though :)


    eta: Som, this is the one i have, someone is selling it on ebay lol. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Dettol-Surface-Cleanser-Spray-50ml-Cheapest-on-Ebay_W0QQitemZ300403769624QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_HomeGarden_CLV_Cleaning_CA?hash=item45f175c118

    I would kindof just to get a heads up they may just tell you to stay at home until the pain gets worse or they are coming faster but they usually advise to go in once they are coming every 5mins as things can start moving fast then :-)

    Yeah cool :)

    Im strill worried that I am making it all up lol I was saying to Stu that what if I have these and they get closer and strgoner and I get to hosp and they are like dont be stupid this isnt labour lol

    LOL Som, I am watchin MTV base and i went through about a 5 year period when rnb and rap is all I listend to and soooo manyt songs are coming on tht I used to love, so now I am trying to figure out whether to dl them and make a playlist on my MP3 player for the hosp?

    Mine arent hurting yet either, well the period cramp bit is starting to hurt, what is happening with mine is, if you imagine you have no breathe suddenly and then bump below my boobs get MEGA tight, then further down I get a cramp period pain (Dont know how to describe that if you arent used to them) Now when they happen I find it helps to breath in through mynose and out through the mouth

    Use this to track them

    Mine have no regular pattern yet, and if I stand up sometimes they go away, like I went for a walk before and had none while I was walking

    Here is a pic of mine so far today

    You'll see a gap of 42 mins this is where I fell asleep, I either dont get them or they arent strong enough yet to wake me up?

    Thats the kind of pattern i had during the day they will get thicker and faster yet. Your pains sound very similar to mine as well belly went really tight then i had small cramps lower down which got stronger over the course of the day and eventually came all over the bump. I found sitting on the edge of things helped and keeping my legs spread its not very lady like but who cares if you look like a bloke taking a dump it has a purpose lol :-)

    Kindof - yes that seems pretty similar to what Im having but there not lasting as long as yours, tho when there here they are regular. Mine seem to be the other way too, in terms of they ease when I sit! Hope you get your phish food :D

    EA - thanks will keep an eye out for that sanitiser, have a small pack of wipes atm that will make do with.

    1more - sorry not on team yellow, tho didnt find out till 19weeks so before that if it was cheap then Id buy it regardless of colour. Now I know am team pink have gifted some of the blue stuff as alot of peeps who I know had boys so worked out handy. Some of the boyish stuff have kept tho cos i'll still get away with it.

    Just nommed some Tesco double choc cookies :D think I might walk up and down the stairs a few times now lol, so want her to come out this weekend, if not at least i might burn off the cookies. Ooh I know could put the mirror in the car, u know the one to see bubs :D

    Oooh its all gone tres quiet!

    Well car seat is now strapped in car (was in the boot) and it has the toys on it too and raincover in the lil storage area :D Also put the pink crochet blanket on it and set up the mirror so baby can be seen by who ever is driving :D Also just got out the travel cot and showed OH how it works, decided to fabreeze it too! Bought a play mat of ebay a few months back that doubles as a travel cot toy, well basically plays music and makes noises while looking pretty so popped that on it too, it all looks so cute :D Just needs baby girl in there!

    Think another dog walk is gonna be in order before the footie starts at 5.30 too.

    I had a yellow bump, although it is now a bouncing blue boy!

    I found Asda quite good for unisex. I also got a few bits in Tesco and Sainsburys. Some of the things might look a bit boyish or girly at first glance, but I always figured that with a pink or blue cardi or something no-one was going to notice!

    I also went for blue rather than pink if there was a choice on only the two. I think blue for a girl is more acceptable than pink for a boy- don't really know why! My boy is such a boy you'd know the difference even if I dressed him all in pink!
