I also desperately need a new bra. Tried Mothercare, H&M, John Lewis, Debenhams and a few other local maternity stores. I was 38FF before pregnancy and am now 40G and most stores don't have any/have a poor choice in this size. Unfortunately every bra I tried on just fits really bad, i.e. the middle bit doesn't go in between my boobs at all. I know I'm looking at the right sizes because when I press the middle bit to my chest, the bras fit really well and the cups are the right size. It must be something to do with the lack of wires to hold the middle bit in place, I think. Does anyone have a similar problem?

For now I got a new wired bra but I realise that I will soon need nursing bras with special "slots" to put the pads in for when I start leaking, yuk.

RJH - read your post in a rush and saw wireless bra... have just been trying to sort out my wireless internet and read it out of context... then choked on my lunch! d'oh! That would definitely be a multi-tasking garment!!

happy wednesday!

Hiya!

I hope all are well today - the sun is trying to come out - spring is really nearly here.

Welcome to all newbies!

Jedi - how did your scan go? Thinking of you.

A quick question - I'm 19+5 and I have been feeling baby move for just over a week now. The kicks are quite low down - actually a lot lower down than my bump. Is this normal?

Cheers
MrsE

I felt mine really low down at 20 weeks. It was almost like he was trying to mount the great escape and I asked my midwife and she assured me it was perfectly normal. It's probably baby kicking your bladder and that sends the sensation really far down. Hope that makes sense xx

I still get mostly very low kicks/punches and I'm nearly 34 weeks, they've been very low all the way through.

Low kicks are really normal. My baby loves to kick my bladder, cervix and some weird part of me that seems to connect directly to my botty.

MrsExcited

thank you so much for your replies - very reassuring!

I'm am loving the movement - it's so adorable :j

Got a new bra. I'm an awful mother. I got a wired one. Fog leaves assured me it's ok if it fits and whoop does it fit. Happy bunny also got hair cut. Hairdresser Said baby appeared to have stopped stealing my hair nutrition lol.

Baby been kicking low down this week but when I lie it shifts over to nearer my ribs. Getting very active. 18 weeks today
