I have a gym ball that works perfectly fine for me!

If you have a Decathalon store near you, they sell them in there for about £9 which is alot cheaper than the proper "Maternity Balls" you can get elsewhere! That comes with a pump as well. They are really sturdy so you might want to give that a go.

Congrats 1more glad it all went well for you xx

hope all are well just to say boots have reduced a few of their baby lines varies from store to store and today I got some boots expert shampoo and body wash 50p each BOGOF!!

also lots of their jar baby food are 15-25p and many of them have 2011 and 2012 dates on them so I brought some with nov 2011 plus expiry dates on them just got 7 different ones dont really plan on using jars but handy to have as back up at that price cost me £1.09 for them were cow and gate and hipp organic. Also got box organic baby rice expiry june 2011 for 42p!!! - Having baby 26th aug by c-section so will be weaning end of feb 2011 so made sense to get these bits cheap.

I have a wedding coming up in about 6 weeks - I've just bought a fab black and white dress from Pumpkin Patch (the Manchester Arndale branch, but I think you can also get it online) - it was reduced from £30 to £8! Worth a look if there's one near you...

I brought that dress few weeks ago got a sz medium as said thats what a 12 was but my boobs have yet to grow any bigger so it is a little baggy around the chest area for me but I am hoping will get worn whilst on mat leave through aug.

was def a bargain

well had my leaving lunch today at work (dont finish til next fri but many of my collagues finish this fri as they work term time only), had a lovely lunch not everyone could make it but many did and they got me some lovely flowers, some simple bath bits for baby and a £40 mothercare voucher which was very kind.

did aqua natal this morning was knackered after, doing next week then not going again as she is off for 3wks on hols and I will be on mat leave and its 30mins drive from home if traffic is ok and starts at 9am fine when at work and going in their time but dont plan on rushing anywhere when off.

Congrats 1more! 3 hour labour sounds fab to me, I'll have one of those please! :rotfl:

Rant warning: I'm getting very impaient I still have 10 weeks to go. Don't get me wrong, I want baby to finish cooking properly and everything but I'm soooo fed up I feel like I have been pregnant forever. It doesn't help that the builders are STILL in my house after 12 weeks and we still have about another 2 before we can even start painting - then we have 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 sets of stairs/landings, the living room and kitchen to do plus 7 doors to paint, all the ceiling and all the skirtings and banisters and hand rails, PLUS buy and put up Bellymonkey's furniture. Arrrrggghh!

My blood pressure won't go down. It's not technically that "high" at 134/88 but my booking bp was 110/60 so I think that's a big jump. MW doesn't seem to care as long as the baby is moving she said it's fine. Urine was NAD last Wednesday so I guess as long as there's no protein showing they don't bother too much.

OH forgot to get me chocolate on the way home yesterday and I could go myself but it would mean getting dressed and I CBA so I've just had a yoghurt which isn't the same.

That's probably what's happened with me then!!! I really hope they go back to somewhat near 'normal'. Not sure how I feel about them at the mo (like the size of the boobage, just not the nipple plates/bus wheel nuts/bin lids etc)!
