Morning All!

I just read back six pages and can't for the life of me remember anything!

I have some very fetching new chicken pox spots today which is just lovely!

Labour vibes to those who want them!

Awwww I'm sorry about your chicken pox spots I hope they don't get too itchy.

Yeah I did when I was on the pc this morning. I really meant to say that I hadn't played you back, but wasn't sure if you saw the game, sorry I'm confusing things :rotfl: I was hoping once I started a game I could see it on my phone but I can't.

Hey peeps
Quick question for those of you who've bought pants / nighties for after the birth, how did you know what size to get? I am going to have a look in Pradamark today, but at 29 weeks I just have no idea (and can't picture) what I'll be like at 40!!

I'm usually a 12 and that seems okay in maternity wear but was hoping to get some cheap pants I could chuck afterwards. Also (those of you who've been through it) would you recommend getting the big granny up to your belly button ones?

Thanks
Em xx

Did you get any in the end? I read somewhere that you can expect to be like your 6 months preggers when you've had the baby, so I got PJS from Primark that fit me at the time (was about 32 - 34 weeks I think). I have a huge old nightie for giving birth in (if on dry land), but I need to check it still fits. It did at 36 weeks. And I think I'm going to go naked if I get to use the pool.

Ah ok. So do you post from your iphone all the time then?

Wonder if that lexi-something or other that Krystaltips was talking about can be played from both iphone/computer.

I started getting the stitch like feeling when I walked too fast/too far from about 25 weeks I think....basically when I got a decent bump.

I can't hardly walk now. It makes me wonder how these pregnant ladies go for 1 hour walks to try and bring on labour. There's no way I could do an hour. 10 minutes is too much for me now. Shame as I had wanted to go for walks with mum and the dog while on mat leave. Will have to wait till after baby is born.

I also get that stitch thing. Thought it was just me! I like to go on long walks, usually over an hour. Unfortunately my pelvic area is very painful afterwards as all the ligaments and muscles are stretched or something. I spoke to MW about it yesterday and she said it was a good thing as it means my body has softened to prepare for labour, but the downside is it's easy to pull muscles. I pulled one in my groin the other week which was very painful. Hurt for 2 or 3 days afterwards.

By the time I get to your stage Giz, I may not be able to manage the hour and a half walks. TBH 40 or so minutes would be better, but it only starts to hurt towards the end and then I'm in agony but feel better for getting some exercise as I have turned into such a couch potato

Oh yeah, meant to ask about these birthing balls. I know I don't need to get one yet, but when do you start using these?

I have started using mine to sit on if my back is sore I have always found a gym ball easier to sit on lol

aah thanks for the reminder will have to look mine out, seemingly they are good if you have pelvic pain so I'm going to start using it now. I wish I had an arm long enough to remember things
