Apparently moist toilet paper is a godsend too? Not sure how true that is but have bought a little supply just in case!

Oh... and vaseline!

Edit: You got there first Xmas!

Pigpen; you really do have a way with words!!! Your comment did make me laugh!! BTW I dont think you look like a whale at all, I think you look pretty damn good for a lady who has had 8 kids and another on the way!

I am still not sure how much weight I have put on, I went for a review at the hospital, they weighed me when I was about 8 weeks pregnant and again last week, I think they said I had gained about 1 stone but I really am not sure? I will ask the MW to weight me at my next appt as I do feel heavy, I put my legs across OHs last night on the sofa and he commented how my legs felt heavy... cheeky g*t!! Just hope I don't put on too much weight as I am terrible at loosing it (in the past I always end up weighin more after being on a diet!) but as long as the baby is healthy, it doesnt matter at the moment. I will worry about that after the birth!!!

good luck michelle hope it all goes well and quickly but pain free!

feel like i am being kicked really low today. if i lean forward to look at something i get quite sharp stabbings, only 17+3 so just getting used to feeling it again.

MW wants me to consider homebirth as i have been quite quick on last 2 occassions, but still not sure as i like to have the reassurance of medical staff to hand, yet the past 2 journeys to the hospital have be horrible whilst in labour. still plenty of time to decide i guess.

On subject of weight i have only put on 2lbs surprisingly in these 17 weeks but i was very over weight to begin with so guess i am using some of it that is stored. still got hardly any bump though and still look just fat

ok TMI forewarning here ladies so if you dont like poo talk look away now....

Is it dia-woo-woo that is a sign or just a jolly good poo???

I ask because I've just been (dont worry Ive washed my hands!) and had an almighty amount of poo...... not in dia-woo form, theres just a lot of it. TBH its totally normal looking poo's just probably about 2/3 times the normal amount you'd produce in a go.....

So question is : sign or too much fibre lately?

convent - maybe you just need to bounce higher hun..... LOL ive been riding mine round the house like a loon. Problem is our kitchen is a really slim galley style so it doesnt fit between the cupboards so i cant bounce myself all the way to the loo.......how lazy am i?!

I am so thankful I have never had stitches...not sure whether it's anything to brag about though:o

Weight - I have put on 1st 5lbs...3wks left to go:j

With ds1 I put on 4st!! and ds2 I put on 3.5st!! Thankfully with ds3 I only put on 2st and had lost every bit by my 8wk check up:T....

Not weighed myself for a couple of weeks but last time (22/23 weeks) I did I was the same as before I was pg - only because I'd been poorly though and lost about 11lbs.

I don't know..tbh I have never had the 'clearing out' that others talk of:cool: Maybe I have just had a normal poo then gone into labour, but I certainly haven't noticed anything special about it:o
