I've started taking the Raspberry leaf capsules, don't know if I fancy it as tea! But I couldn't get to the health food shop to get it earlier on so only been taking it for a few weeks, fingers crossed it helps.

Oh, just got in touch with Worcester Bosch and have taken out a maintenance contract with them, it will cover fixing the boiler, and we have priority It also covers any other breakdowns for the year and a service So glad we have got iot sorted out!

@catwoman - great news

I'm terrible at all the things you guys are mentioning. I'm not doing RLT or any supplements.

I never remember to do my kegals (I know I will pay for this).

I don't use stretch mark cream.

And I've not got any intention on doing a perenial massage. But having vaginismus this is pure hell to me.

You'll probably have a really smooth birth and mine will be a 90 hour nightmare!

Haha - I hope so I'm convinced it's all in the ability to relax as much as possible.

When is it you start getting stretch marks if you were to get them?

You can get them right up to the last minute.

Great news on the boiler front Cat. At least it's off hour mind for baby coming and Christmas.

I'll also be drinking RLt at 35 weeks. But the 'pushing' stage with both of mine was a few pushes each. I did a little massage with DD but don't think I did enough only had a small tear though.

I feel really drained today. I really should be emptying more boxes but I just want to sit and read.
I've cleaned the bathroom and made Xmas decorations with DS and that's it.

Everyone is different...I only got two & they both appeared after!? I have a friend who has recently had twins & she was huge...All she kept telling me was that she had no stretch marks despite how big she had got. I had to break the news to her that she might find they put in an appearance after. Bless her! Funnily enough she's never mentioned them since.
