I had a bath earlier, and it did help, and I have taken some paracetamol too.

Feels like period cramps at the moment, which seem to be coming roughly every 6 mins or so, but they are like period pains rather than contractions.

Mind you, I've never had contractions before so not entirely sure what they should feel like

Sounds like the real deal to me. Do labour ward know how long it is likely to take you to get there?

Huge good luck, remember your breathing exercises and keep moving and upright if you can.

Is this an instore price aswell or just online? Was in boots last night getting some more stretch mark cream . Never saw any offers while I was in

Umm pass lol. I would expect it to be instore as well. I think the offer only started today, I was on the site yesterday and I'm pretty sure they weren't on offer then.

I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow (yay! :j) So I'll pop into the bigger Boots and hopefully get some then.

When OH gets here I'll have a chat with him about whether we think we should head over that way, at least to my parents house.

Good luck MV - hope you're feeling better - have you got any Dr Bach Rescue Remedy? It may help, I have some at home to help relax sometimes if nervous or anxious. It's a natural product so I imagine is ok to take but maybe others know?

Hope your OH arrives soon to keep you company x

Hope it is the real deal MV good luck!

If anyone know whether that M&S cot is height adjustable that would be useful as I want one that is but that is quite a bargain.

Just had a fright that we might have to pay another £500 quid out on car but thankfully they did ir for £30 quid phew!

Also did I imagine it or did the midwife actually say to the poor young girl while in labour - 'you won't be doing this again in a hurry will you?' the girl who had been taken in to be induced and ended up having a section with the odd partner I mean)
Thought that was pretty odd patronising and inappropriate.

Yes! I thought exactly the same when she said that. How rude!

Yay for the HIP Dusty! Is your bathroom finished?

I can't remember anything else!

It is GL, I am soooo pleased with it. We put the final unit up yesterday. Just awaiting the towel storer to be delivered from Next which should be any time now.
I will be taking pictures and posting here especially for you once it's done!

Yay :j

When did you send yours off we sent ours last week but I was wondering how long they take?

It was on the 22nd Dec. I remember as it was my mums birthday and I posted it at her work .
With all the xmas holidays I thought it would be longer to receive.

somebody earlier posted that they thought it was. i've ordered on the basis that the deliveries free and M&S have a second to none returns policy so if it turns out it doesn't, back it goes!

MV the period pains do sound like early contractions. Mine felt the same, really low down and not tight or anything. The did get more pronounced.
Have you phoned you mum? I was just thinking I wouldn't want to travel through London at rush hour. If it's closer I'd maybe consider heading over. At least you might get your dinner made for you

Afternoon everyone!

MV - Sounds like you might be cuddling bubs soon! Good luck and I hope everything moves along so it's not uncomfortable for too long!

Anyway, I'm off to have a naughty Mcdonalds for lunch as I'm still having trouble with meals so if I can keep it down then I suppose unhealthy burger just this once is better than nothing. I've actually lost weight so far in pregnancy due to morning sickness and not eating so I'm going to use all this as an excuse to indulge. :P
