Hassle I also have 3 hospital bags; 1 for labour, 1 for baby and 1 for after labour. Think I will just need 2 of them if I go to local birth centre and will need the third bag if I go to the big hospital and have to stay in

Feel really fed up, only got 2 weeks to go (or 4!) and now I am struggling with clothes. I have been wearing my normal clothes all through pregnancy but all of a sudden I am really having problems; none of my tops seem to fit and ones that do look carp I can still wear 'some' of my pre-preg jeans but with top button undone. Its just annoying me now as I do not want to buy any new clothes with only 2 weeks to go, I wouldnt have minded if I would have got bigger sooner on. Got one more week in work and I will probably wear the same thing each day and just keep washing it through the week.

Oh yeh, its probably already been posted (apologies if so!) but Morrisons have Pampers wipes on buy 1 get 2 free so 3 packs for £2.29 (I think!) and Boots have lots of Johnssons baby bath/ shampoo/ lotion/ etc for £1 each. Boots also have a 6 pack of Pampers Sensitive wipes for £3.66 (1/2 price) couldn't see it in my local store but I have just seen it online so can be delivered to your local store for free

Kitkat would you wear leggings maybe get a couple of pairs of those and some of the lovely oversized tops that are on the high street now instead of getting maternity wear at least you can use the tops after the birth and the leggings are so cheap it doesnt matter if they end up in the bin really.

P.s im really jealous i haven't been able to get in my jeans since i was about 8wks pregnants you jammy mare ;-) x

Thanks Xmas! I am pleased I can still wear all my trousers, just button undone though but my MW does keep reminding me its only due to my stomach muscles being so strong, but for any more pregnancies apparently my stomach will hang out! Mite have a look for some leggings and baggy tops, do own 2 pairs of leggings but have found I hate having them covering my stomach (I can only wear bump bands for a short period of time due to the same thing) so maybe look for a pair that doesn't cover my belly!

I was going to suggest long tops too... I lived in them last time... Although on days where I don't need to leave the house, I tend to just stay in my pyjamas... I'm not ashamed... Clothes are for best

clothes are over-rated.. I love my jimjams!

It is wonderful it being school hols and not having to get dressed at all I love it!

Currently slobbed in one of my 2 pairs of leggings and the only top that still fits.. my bump isn't the problem.. it is the boobs that fit in nothing!

Well, the lemonade has me peeing again slightly.. just a few times a day but better than nothing.. liver still not good.. feet still huge.. pelvis still agony.. why does it not hurt when you poke it when it is absolute agony to move?? Hernia VERY sore..

Crib set up on OH's side of the bed. .. furniture reshuffled, bedroom vacuumed so it is all clean for bringing baby home.. bags triple checked and some stuff taken out.

Just need the baby... and a name!

Ok so I have no will power. Eaten OHs cream slice as well. Serves him right for being able to go out and have a few pints.

re clothes. I have 2 pairs of maternity trousers (which are still too big) and 1 pair of maternity jeans. When not going out in public I live in tracksuit bottoms. But am still in pre-pregnancy tops (only the long ones though, as the rest dont reach my waist). I was in my pre-pregnancy clothes until about week 28, now I cant even get them over my hips. I refused to buy too much maternity stuff for the remaining 12 weeks. Though I reckon I will need a new set of clothes once bubs arrives as tops must now be stretched.

PP am glad you can now pee a little. I'd be lost if you got ill-er (is that a proper word) and didnt come on here.

I know what you mean Krystal and Pigpen, I love wearing my pjs, as soon as I get home I change into them (wearing them now actually!!)

I normally just strip off at home and in the evening i put one of my over sized shirts on there is way to much glass in this house to wonder around in my undies once it gets dark. I've lost count of the amount of maternity clothes i have its all i have worn for the last almost 2 yrs i find them so uncomfortable and my bump is that low and big now even the proper maternity tops wont cover it properly i have to keep tugging them down. I think i managed about 8 wks in normal clothes between having bubs and finding out i was pregnant again. I just hope i can get back into everything and dont have to go out and buy more clothes grrrrrr. Sorry ladies winge over :-) x
