Thanks Fuzz... got to take the boys trainer shopping tomorrow so I'll have a look in peacocks

Braxton Hicks... I think I may be having them but not sure:o My bump goes really hard and it feels like bean is doing a big shift but not IYKWIM??

Oh and stupid morning sickness is getting really bad again:mad: In the big bundle of teas I won and received the other day there's some ginger and camomile tea which really helps luckily:)

Love the dress fuzz, do they come quite long as I am a shortie (5ft2) and don't want it to drown me!!

Just been to Boots to get my indigestion remedies and noticed they had lansinoh cream on 25% off (£7.49 from £9.99) I heard that this was the best one to get for bfing as want to give it a go but scared of sore nips!!

KitKat hope you can find the streety somewhere to look at as I saw on the net and really wanted to look at it as is the cheapest (I could find) travel system that faces both ways but doesn't seem to be physically in stock to have a look at/try out. The only places that do it are big Toysrus megastores and some John Lewis stores but not all.

Picking up on the pets thread - I'm also going to post this in the pet section:
I have 2 cats, 1 a year and the other 9 months. Both lovely natured and playful and friendly. Recently, the one yo has gone very moody. Now, we went away last month and put them in cattery for a week and during that time she scratched the other's eye. We put this down to stress of being cramped together for a week as they usually love each other. We then brought them back, but sue to having building work done we've had to come to OH's old house a few miles away - they've been here before overnight but this isn't their home. For the first week both were fine and normal. After a week, Mitten has become quite withdrawn. I thought she was maybe ill but she is eating and drinking - a little less than normal but she was fat anyway. She will still let you pick her up, tickle her tummy etc and is still "nice" but isn't playful anymore and just seems to sleep all day. I've had cats before and never seen this behaviour before. This week she's hurt the kitten again - I'm assuming he's got on her nerves and she's given him a smack. I don't want to take her to the vet as she's not actually ill. I've bought a feliway that we used when we got the kitten but it's only been plugged in a few days so waiting to see if that perks her up.
So, I'm thinking:
It's the move
It's because I'm 23 weeks pregnant (can she tell?)
She's too hot as she's black and long haired
It's just her adolescence
A combination?
Sorry for the long post!

Could the moody cat have got a cut/abcess or something not so obvious? are her teeth ok?? cats are very good at hiding pain and ime when in pain they become moody little sods!
Or it could be any of the above:) if you're really concerned I'd take her to the vets, would rather the vet think you're an idiot than have something wrong with the cat thats been missed:)

Confuzzled i had exactly the same thing i still get it occasionally now as there seems to be one really stubburn cut that wont heal properly. Be carefull with the lactulose they say it isnt meant to make you go but i found it always gave me a runny tummy even if i only took one dose a day i was supposed to be on 3 doses there was no way i could do that i wouldnt be able to leave the bathroom. When you take your first dose just make sure you have no plans to go out until you know your suited to it :-)

Thanks for the lovely comments about my bump as well i will post a pic of new bump later you will deffinately see the difference it seems to be my hips and legs that are getting the brunt of the weight gain this time round as you said last time i was all bump. I think it comes down to me carrying a girl i was big with first DD but both sons i have just been all bump :-)

I'm 5'2" too:D and it is slightly too long if you wear flats but with a decent pair of wedges it's fabby:D I mostly wear heels anyway coz DH is a foot taller and it kills our backs if I don't:o:rotfl:
Maybe try New look, their stuff is usually really similar to Peacocks and iirc a bit shorter hth x

I'm 5ft 7 and the dresses in new look reached my feet! So they'll still need wedges if you're 5ft2

smartie12

I'm tall (5'9" ish) and some of the dresses I've seen look way too short to cover an ever growing bump!!

Fuzz; Thanks for updating me about the docs, I might just put a note in if they cant fit me in this week, make the most of the free prescriptions! My OH thinks we are having a girl, and I have always said its a boy, my bump is very much out front, I am sure its grown overnight as my tshirt seems to have got tighter! I am also not finding out, I kinda want to and kinda want a suprise, but I do like getting peoples opinions on what I am having, think my mum thinks its a girl as she keeps buying pinks bits!!

Budget; Think I might go to look at the silvercross this weekend (along with others) hopefully in Mothercare they can advise me whether it will fit in my car. I think I will need to take the pram on the bus but it will be very occasional as there are no bus routes where I live, the only bus I use is when I go shopping to the big town and jump on the park and ride.

Hi Ladies,

I have had a difficult couple of days, with bleeding waking me up in the middle of the night on Tuesday, so i took the day off and the MW was lovely and saw me at lunch time, heard the heart beat and a little kick, which was reassuring, although this morning i woke up ( the bleeding stopped around midday yesterday) and found that i had a huge amount of brown gunk and some mild aching in my lower bump area.

So i decided to come to work but spoke to the MW who called the EPU and they said all was sounding very good and as if whatever caused the bleed was now healing!

Anyway, i am 15wks 4days today, so trying to be positive, and on a silly note i am sure i have read somewhere about heartbeats and the difference between boys and girls? The MW Is sure it is a boy, as girls would not cause so much stress for mummy? haha

Luvvverly bump-shot Fuzz!

I think I look a bit preg already myself, but I think it's just bloating..nice.
