Ladies, help!

Bought a new pair of maternity jeans from New look. They have like an elasticated inner. Does that go above and over the bump or stay in the jeans??? Bloody weird!

I have these - it goes over the bump. It did take a while to get used to but they're great because they still have the main waistband even though it's only decorative so if your top rides up it just looks like you have normal jeans on with a navy vest

Cheers hun. I did think it looked a bit like a bump band lol. These things should come with a manual! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::D

Hello! I'm halfway through my mw appt but she has just been called away to a woman in labour urgently - I think I may be waiting some time! It seems like a nice place to give birth - better than the delivery suite I was on yesterday which was down in the bowels of the hospital.

Does anyone have any moneysaving suggestions about TENS machines? Buy or hire? We'd like to have at least 1 more baby and would be able to lend it to others but it seems a lot of money for something that might not get used. On the other hand, don't want the stress of having to return it on time once we have our little one. What do you girls think?

Oh and by the way, I just bought my normal size - I'm nearly 32 weeks now and they've only just started feeling like they won't fall down, so it might be worth exchanging them for your normal size if you can?

I've always been between sizes as I have chunky legs hun. So although these are loose on the waist they are pretty comfy on the legs! Really pleased with them!

Well, mw still not back. Receptionist popped her head round the door to tell me the mw is doing a delivery, then all the alarms went off and I've just been told she's in an emergency situation. However, did hear the baby crying so hopefully all okay.

Im wearing maternity clothes today, v. comfy

My maternity jeans from last yr are a size 16 and way to big for me, i have to roll the waist to get them to stay up. But these jeans are a size 18 and fit perfectly, confusing.

Gender scan is tomorrow morning, luckily ILs have a 4x4 so can drive us there in the snow

That's great news

Here is a picture of my garden today - my poor hanging baskets!

Ej, have you thought about getting a tens off eBay? You could always then sell it on after you've finished with it, would probably work out cheaper than hiring one that way

Thanks for the suggestion Krystaltips - just been looking on eBay and it looks like it is about the same price to buy one from there as to hire and less hassle.
