Chak: thanks and good luck with the house, I hope you get it!

MLSL: I'm glad I'm not alone, although I do wish things were moving for you! It's so frustrating, my poor OH looked so excited last night I felt so disappointed when contractions stopped as I really thought last night was it. I told OH before he left I'm thinking of phoning MW and telling her I think my foofs broken as it doesn't seem to be working! I've contacted friends and said don't expect anything until 2 weeks over my due date. I wish I had worked longer as I feel I have wasted last 3 weeks!

*fingers crossed* things start happening for us MLSL, and Courgette and Nene!

Below is a link to my bump as of today. Actually compared to the last couple I'd taken (and stupidly forgot to date..doh), my belly does appear to be getting bigger.

Definitely bigger and definitely a bump I might brave enough to post mine up at some point.

Weighed and measured myself last night. Belly is an inch bigger than last time, so an overall 2.5inch increase (mostly sideways expansion, and my waist has vanished ) but I've lost weight, so overall a weight increase of 3lbs. Is this normal for 15weeks?

Sounds like me hngrymummy - I haven't put on any weight and I don't think my tummy looks much bigger but I can definitely feel it at the sides.

Labour vibes MLSL, Kitkat, Nene and Courgette! Hope something starts for you all soon.

Nene - my guess is that the clary sage in the Radox isn't very concentrated, but you could have a nice bath and its on offer!

Armybike - lovely pic of little Izzy.

MV - hugs for you, it can be stressful being pg after a mc but try to relax, as others have said its normal not to feel movement just yet, if you're still worried later do you have a number for the labour ward at your hospital? I can rarely get hold of my mw on the phone and if I need advice I try her once then ring the labour ward.

Freebie - I was concerned about the lack of privacy thing with the totsbots facebook too, please let us know what they say.:)

Argh, we've just gone 2k over the asking price, but one of the other offers is a cash buyer. Not getting a good feeling about this one. So wanted a beautiful garden for my babies

hngrymummy and lillian - a lot of the time if you have strong abdominal muscles it takes ages to get a proper bump 1st time, although 2nd time round bump gets bigger alot earlier as the muscles have been stretched out previously.

Also with weight, my baby development calendar at askbaby.com suggests a gain of 3lbs at 13weeks. But if you are battling with morning sickness and managing to put a little on rather than loose weight then you are doing well.

I am going against the grain and have lost 8lbs in the last 10 weeks but I have a BMI of 42 now. And my MW agreed I could do so as it would only improve my health and I have plenty of "stores" for baby to feed on anyway. lol

Sending labour vibes to those in need!

Yummymummy - I put on about 10lbs before 12 wks I think :eek: but then it just slowed down and I've gained another 5lb since (now 30wks). Don't really have much of a bump either for 7mths - everyone keeps asking when its going to develop!! Think I just went width ways rather than out

hngrymummy

Ticklepenny, please could you e-mail me some of your unwanted weight? It would keep the MW happy, and maybe get me off consultant care (I have low BMI, whcih they are not happy about), and hopefully stop people telling me I need to eat more. I can't tell you how annoying it gets after the 10th time!!

*Jumps up and down* GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!!!

The one annoying thing about Radox is I do temd to come up in spots with the shower gel, but the bubble bath doesn't really have any effect....hmmmm, tempting. Plus I could also go get some chocolate *blushes*
