Hi EA :wave: Nice to see you over here.

Fuzz - hope you're ok. Any news from Legs?

Went and got my bra size measured and have gone up again! But I did find a nude colour bra in my new size

I have also discovered Pumpkin Patch - yummy!!! Couldn't resist a 3 pack of babygros - they were in the sale

Thanks for the info on heartburn. What do you take to relieve it. Did someone mention lovehearts?

Hi everyone

Sorry, long post alert (been lurking for a while as no time to post!)

Dusty, glad to see you're back (even if only lurking) hope things are okay chick xx
Fuzz, sounds like you're getting more hassle on here to get on with it than you probably have in RL, so will just say good luck for when it happens

DueMarch, I love the hampers Was it you that did the reindeer flanels as well, think I might give those a try for my folks and the inlaws, they are fab

Jojo, I struggled with thrush a few years ago for what seemed like quite a while. It cleared up - not sure if this is related but I stopped using anything with SLS / parabens / petrochemicals in and only put sea salt in my baths - I think I did it at the time in hope that it would make a difference (is a while ago now so am not 100% sure but might be worth a go). Boots do a range called Naked which I used for a while (worth buying when BOGOF), I occasionally get stuff in TK maxx, I also have a feeling that there is an SLS free range in the boots baby stuff which I'm sure would be cheaper to try. Poor girl, I had it bad enough and I could use the tablets.

Was very proud of myself on Tuesday - I have been doing my normal yoga class on and off, but had been more off, went along on Tuesday and I was able to do pretty much everything including a headstand and balancing on just my arms. My teacher said it was cool as I'd done it before being pg, she said when she was pregnant she carried on until she went into labour. Also since going back to yoga (sorry if TMI) I'd been really constipated but seems to have got everything moving again woo!! Also have a session with my PT at the gym tonight (not as glam as it sounds, he is my mates bro so he's signed me into the gym and gives me a very cheap session). Not been to him since before I got pg, but he has plenty that I can do to keep up my fitness (until after I have the baby, when it will be proper hard work sessions again).

Hugs everyone

Em xx

Im loving fruit rennee (sp?) and tic tacs at the moment for helping the wretched heartburn. Also, sleep with more pillows and try not to lie down flat i.e on the sofa etc. x

Good luck legs, hope it speeds up for you!

In my world, Im so excited I might wee! x

Gaviscon seems to do the trick for heartburn too.

Ahhh, it will go quick Dusty - I promise! Have you got your 20 weeks can date through yet? How are things with OH. (((Hugs)))

DM - Thanks for the tips. oooh, lying flat on the sofa is my favourite position

I set myself up on the dark side this afternoon and have had enquiries already

Oh, that was me with the reindeers btw! x

Ah Sammy - time is going sssoooo ssslllooowww, my 20 week scan isn't til the 23rd Nov when I'll then be 21+4. Still not felt any fluttering or the like, have you? I'm willing them and I'm convinced I'm going to sleep through them. I'm 19 wks tomorrow so time yet.
When is your scan? You're finding out the colours aren't you? We're having a surprise but I think I may be tempted to find out when I'm in the room.

Thank you for asking bout OH, we had a llloooonnnggg chat last night (tears ) but got a lot of things off our chests. Hence me back here
The deeper issue, we discovered, is I need him to read my mind and get annoyed at him when he doesn't.

I'm not the same person I was 5 months ago (pre PG), everything has changed and yet nothing has changed IYSWIM. He was brilliant and very supportive and gave me a few home truths too, which were totally justified. I think I just want a bit of spoiling and to be reminded that I am still a 29 yr old woman and his girlfiend and not a baby carrier. We are good, I think I will move back home tonight (I miss SKY+.........oh and OH ) I'm putting it all down to a complete wobbly on my part and a total identity crisis.

Well done DM - we will see you on Dragon's Den soon I have no doubt
