Mine kinda stayed the same, then got MASSIVELY painful before af arrived then shrunk a bit and drag on the floor a bit more...

Nah, I really am waiting for my jam tarts to cool

On another forum they were discussing this amongst some other topics, basically the assumption that your pregnancy will go well and so will the birth and at the end of it all you will have a lovely little baby. And how shocking it is when that doesn't happen. Women shouldn't be terrified all the way through their pregnancies, but should be aware that all the risks don't end at 12 weeks.

I'm fully aware that not all pregnancy/birth outcomes are ideal but I'm sure it would still be a shock if something did happen because like everyone else I still think it won't happen to me. I know it could but my mind has to either assume that it will or it won't and so I go for won't. Does that make any sense? I was actually quite shocked that I got pregnant as soon as we started TTC because I had mentally prepared myself for the possibility of it taking ages and potentially years (just because it can - there was no particular reason) and had never thought about the opposite possibility. (Maybe I'm just completely weird.)

He doesn't look orange to me MFD - is it the settings on your computer maybe?

I hope the job situation turns out ok, it does sound like you're in demand and won't be waiting too long.

Jealous of those jam tarts, we're on a post-holiday diet now and OH has just gone off to buy chicken, fish and veg

That girl who had a forceps baby last night is still massive - I wasn't that size the day afterwards, was I lucky or is that normal?

SM are you still handwashing?

Like the new avvy mfd, the orangey one looked like it was taken in the 70's to me

More fun than waiting for boiled eggs to cool. (Because we have to give OH's family some kind of Easter thing and Alice is going to paint them.)

I changed him again! He is now wearing his 'I am an innocent baby' face

I do a high profile job working with 22 companies. I would hope that one of them would want me, even if it is just to do a bit of troubleshooting within their organisations for a couple of months.

I lost weight on holiday! We walk a lot so no matter what I eat the weight tends to fall off. Just need to find some incentive to do the same amount of walking here!!

I still looked heavily pregnant for a few days after having given birth. Then the water retention subsided and I was back in my jeans in 10 days. I lost most of my baby weight when Benjamin was tiny and then put loads back on when he hit about 6 months.

I said that about one last week SS, I don't get it, you could see my bump disappear as Ed worked his way out

No, I do know what you mean With DS1 I was just strolling along, no idea what pregnant actually was, no problems, no signs that there would be problems and then suddenly I was in a GP surgery being told to pack an overnight bag and go up to hospital and was my hospital and baby bag all packed? at 31 weeks...

The boiled eggs sound like a chore! Have a jam tart

I'm glad I made some sense. *whispers* I did have my bag packed at 26 weeks though.

Helloooooo

Only popped a page back and saw becles posted, so everything must be ok?!?

We are back home...haha was meant to be away till Friday but the place wasn't great, it was miles away from anywhere, the food wasn't good it gave dh and ds1 bad tums, the statics were on top of each other, beds were so uncomfortable...even the kids couldn't sleep on them, nowhere reasonable to put the travel cot and on top of all that it was soooooooooooooo freezing cold, we were all getting ill (even though we were sleeping fully clothed!!!)

So we decided to come home to our comfy warm house and take the kids on a day out or two to make up for cutting the trip short. Although tbh the facities left a lot to be desired and there wasn't actually much there anyway....the 'brand new 3.5million pound pool' was a basic square pool, granted it looked shiny new and clean but the swimming pool in Chester is more fun!!

I have never been to a Haven park before but I doubt very much we would ever go back to one.....I don't think we are the right type of clientele for them....and omg a girl called Chantelle went up on stage (in the short 2hrs we sat in the bar/lounge area) all dolled up with low cut top and loads of make-up and flowery things in her artificially curled hair....she was only 8yrs old!!!

Anyway, all I can say is I am glad it was cheap, I would have been distraught if we had paid full price for that. I am exhusted through no sleep even though the 2nd night we had done some furniture removals to fit Kai into the twin bedroom and gave the boys the double room while we slept onthe sofa, which was too short for dh and too thin for me to fit onto comfortably, we had gotten even less sleep the 1st night.

Just gonna go and make my hungry brood some dinner of beans and sausages from a tin with toast...I Know..... but I am so tired, I have already nodded off sat upright on the sofa twive in the last hour, so there is no way I am cooking. Me and dh will have some soup and a cheese sandwich later.
