Re Swollen feet, I had this so badly in my 1st pregnancy that I had to massage my feet down and bandage them just to fit into my most adjustable sandles. I did this for the last 4 weeks of my pregnancy, and as a result couldnt wear the sexy surgical stockings for C section as far too swollen and so had to have warfarin injections instead lol. It didnt matter how much water I drank or how raised my feet were, I was just "unlucky" according to my MW and consultant. They were back to normal with in 5 days of LO's arrival.

OMG I AM 6TH ON THE LIST (thats excluding the bold ladies) :eek::eek::eek::eek:

I am feeling pretty scared today.. keep thinking in 4 weeks I will have a baby.. am I ready... can I handle the sleepless nights, stinky nappies, etc... and what if the baby does overdue.. I really DO NOT want an induction... total panic mode today!!

This Sanctuary bump oil sounds amazing.. I want some!! Looked online at boots website and its out of stock :mad:

Re: Swollen Feet. Mine havent been too bad, its mainly long journeys or if I have walked several miles. I only tend to get one swollen worse than other which I am told is a sign of a previous injury to the said foot (not sure about this though!) I live in 'Fit Flops' most of the time pre-pregnancy and their sandals and boots have been a life saver, I am sure they have reduced the swelling as I cannot wear anything else I own!!

Hope everyone is ok, and happy as I feel like sucha grumpy cow atm

easy... feed about 7-7:30.. change nappy and ignore until you get back from school.

Mine were never dressed until after the school run.. and because they were fed they'd be quiet while I got the others ready!

What a load of poopoo antenatal was!!

There were about 100 couples (maybe not quite 100 but you know what I mean;)) and luckily we were one of the last in so had to sit back row (me and DH could whisper naughty things without being noticed!) next to a window.

The view out of the window was very nice:D (as I spent most of the time gazing out!!:rotfl:)

It was like being at blimin school:eek: We had to go round finding things out about the other people there. "Is this your first baby?" Me - "No". "How old is your first?" Me - "14" Them - "oh" and off they run to gossip with partner about huge age gap:o

I don't want induction either kitkat. Had it with DS cos of pre-eclampsia and it wasn't pleasant:( I'm evicting this baby all by myself;) BUT don't worry if you do go over. Babies come in their own time and you can say NO to whatever the hospital/midwives say!

Thanks Xmas and Pukka. Think I just panicked myself this morning, my hair was a total nightmare and I had to straighten it, took ages. I kept thinking 'there will be no chance of doing this when the baby is here' plus my OH has decided all he seems to want to do is play call of duty so I felt like I didnt even c him yesterday, and I phoned him this morning to email me some work I had forgot to bring in and he was playing it then, nevermind doing any housework. But then I feel like a right dragon moaning at him and then I also feel like if I rush back to work after i have the baby is he just going to sit on his a$$ all day playing call of duty while the baby cries its head off

Is it normal to freak out at this stage?!

Pukka: Fit flops are amazing, I think a little overpriced but they have saved my feet! They have also helped my back no end just need to get saving my boots points for another pair, although I kinda wana keep those points for the baby!

CD's and books on amazon;)

Classes expensive and not sure if they're round our part of the world.

I haven't been listening to my cd's as much as I should so will aim to from now on.
