Ok i am feeling brave today so thought i would post a pic of my belly bare the only other person who ever sees it is my OH. I warn you now its not a pretty site after 3 and a bit pregnancies. Its a proper AA road map most of the damage was done during the last pregnancy as i was so huuugggeeee. I have no idea how the celebs manage without a single stretch mark. I suppose my only saving grace is dont suffer with Cellulite at all so i cant have it all roads :-)

mgeb I've had the wall stickers from home bargins too if that's any easier for you to get to?
Am utterly shattered lol, rushed home last night after work to get back in time for MW, only to get a call to say she'd been called to a home birth and would have to postpone was really looking forward to seeing her as I haven't spoken to her since the hospital trip and injections.

Will rlt still be ok to take for me? After the contractions etc? Am not getting anything so much now, unless I'm on my feet to long or go for walks. Although, tmi, am getting a lot of discharge and "dampness". I had to be induced with dd1 so am not really sure what I'm looking for with a normal labour.

Mermaid you should be fine it doesnt actually bring on labour just helps your body prepare and be ready for it :-)

thanks xmas - thought I'd best check as my mum made me drink it when I went overdue last time to try and avoid being induced - didn't work though and I hated it lol

I got my hipg recently, i sent the form off on the wed and got the money in my bank just over a week later. Was expecting it to take ages but it was actually pretty quick!

Hello all

Feel like a right teenager with all my spots at the moment as soon as a few go more erupt - also lots of scars my own fault as am a right picker!!

Midwife rang today and my downs syndrome tests are fine less than 1:100,000 so husband and I were pleased with that.

Agreed with manager to finish work on 23rd july with annual leave for 4wks and mat leave starting after that which is good, baby due 2nd sept with potential c-section week before so hopefully that all goes to plan.

Looking forward to scan on tuesday hoping baby plays the game and flashes it bits.

Ooh a new thread

I have my first mw appointment next Tuesday, so may get a more accurate EDD then, but at the moment it's 1st December, so that makes me 7 weeks today :j It's really dragging though, just want these first 12 weeks over with.

I'm taking Pregnacare with Omega-3 and have found it very good. I'll continue to take it after the birth as well as I hope to breastfeed.

We've got the all OK today on our new house, so going to start painting the nursery soon I'm liking a yellow colour, with maybe some photos/stickers on the walls to brighten it up. Obviously we don't know the sex yet, but I have a feeling its a boy
