Delain - I was about to ask the difference between sleepsuits and the bodysuits. The bodysuits seems to be short sleeve and legs, so I'm guessing more suitable in summer? And why don't they just call the sleepsuits babygrows. It's all very confusing :rotfl:

Ooh I know the boring answer to this..

Bodysuits are vests.. (you can get them with long legs and sleeves like footless sleepsuits.. just to confuse you)

Sleepsuits are pjs.

Right.. the answer.. in ye olden days babies wore nighties.. usually made from old bedsheets and resewn etc.. However.. a company cottoned on to the idea once fabric were so cheap to produce that special baby clothes could be made.. they manufactured sleepsuits and the branding was.. babygro .. so.. the sleepsuits became known as babygros.. however... once other companies started making them they couldnt use their brand name for their products so they called their outfits sleepsuits...

in effect unless they are babygro branding sleepsuits they shouldnt be called babygrows at all.. .. did that confuse further?

Don't worry, I'm 16/18 so it's not just you thinking if only

Can't remember who asked now but bodysuits are like vests, to be worn under sleepsuits! Although when it's hot mine have slept in vests

Lol, last time I was back in my jeans within a week of giving birth... but back then they were size 16! It's taken me years to shift it all and I was only just getting used to having a waist.

Just back from my 22 week appointment... my midwife is lovely, but her favourite line seems to be 'it's a bit early for....'. I don't care if it is too early for heartburn, I've had it for a couple of months now off and on. Had the same when I complained about pelvis pain and constant weeing. She said before 28 weeks I need to see the doc for heartburn stuff just in case it isn't baby related, and I can't be bothered.

.. My maternity jean size is :eek:Redacted:eek: :rotfl::rotfl:and so far have only been wearing them whilst 'standing & walking' as sitting down can be difficult ... if only applies to size 16/18 too!

P.S even if I can actually get them to zip up because I have short legs they drag in every puddle.....!

Take a sample with you if you have a little pot to put it in. Will save you squeezing some out later :rotfl:

LOL I went prepared,even the dr was presantly surprised:)
Anyway she checked urine and everything looked normal:T but tried to take my BP 4 times:eek:and had no luck. She said she hopes the MW will have more luck next week. They always struggle getting my BP grrrr and its blimmin painful having it done:(

Afternoon ladies Been pretty much hormone free so far but WOW today they've kicked in.Trying to deal with some issues that I'd normally be strong with but today am a weepy,snivelling wreck!!Don't like the feeling like the tears will never stop feeling!Think I'm nervous approaching the 24 week viability and gestation daughter was born at(27 weeks)..I just want to be in the magic 30s and feeling "safer"

So cheering mself up bargain hunting..bought some cool baby toys on boots half price clearance and found some clothes bargains on next clearance too Baby bump is battering my belly just like he was allll night long..so trying to make mummy feel better ...but I predict another non sleeper if his constant movement is anything to go by so far :rotfl:

Oh and not in maternity jeans yet thanks to good old Slimming world so far..but once I do I'll be buying some over the bump elasticy ones..soooo comfy and lived in them in m other pregnancies!Plus they keep your belly warm

I'm back from my midwife appointment. Still haven't properly met the 'official' midwife, this one was a stand-in, and last time it was the assistant. Quick urine check, BP check, done. Not only do I have to reuse the sample bottles, they aren't allowed to dispose of the sample themselves, so I had to take it away again! Yuck!

Bumpmakesfour, hope you feel more cheerful soon. Glad your appointment went well Lucy

The slow drip that's appeared from the drain on our radiator after redecorating the living room is going to be nasty Full drain down of system, cut and replace pipe, refill with inhibitor stuff. The plumber has gone off to put a cost together. I'm hoping that as the boiler service was only £35 it won't be too horrendous, but we could do without extra house decorating costs at the moment! In slightly better news, the 6 layers of woodchip wallpaper is now off our bedroom ceiling and the ceiling is still attached, though cracked and with lots of repairs. Fingers crossed for a simple skimming job rather than a remove and replace job...

Same here. Only I forgot to dispose of mine and found it yesterday in my handbag. Two weeks later:rotfl:
Haven't touched it as don't know what to do with it. Might run it through the dishwasher to be sure.
