    Baby has been naughty today, didn't feel too much movement for most of day, its hard not to freak out. Seems to be kicking a bit more now. Was quite active yesterday so must be chilling today!

    Oh forgot to say, the Vicks on the feet didn't work for me. I still coughed so much last night that I puked. :( Getting a pain in my muscles under the ribs now I've been coughing so much. On a more positive note, my nose is better and has only been half blocked today :) So at least I'm on the mend finally, after a whole week.

  • Poor you giz, my mil recommended the vicks on feet trick to me but i never got round to doing it. I feel so nauseous when i had the cold a few weeks back after coughing, it really does floor you when pg. Hope you can get some sleep tonight.

    Toe nails all painted and looking pretty :D I've not done them in aaaaages!

    I am going to buy new nightwear and trousers and knickers.. I think mine have all been eaten! I am going for undies for DD2 and DD3 too so will be destitute by 4pm!

    I have a couple of pairs of leggings which fit and all my other trousers are too big (I lost almost 3 stone after having Dot) so a-shopping I must go! :(

    I have a pair a black velvety trousers size 14 if anyone is interested.. Next ones.. I think I paid £10 for them. They are a bit snug on my chunky thighs so pointless keeping them and they'll not fit me long.

    Happy shopping pigpen, I went looking at maternity jeans but the didn't fit right, I feel like I Am inbetween maternity and regular clothes so I opted for a bellyband. Super comfortable even if it does feel a little strange.

    Hope everyone is well, I am struggling a little but with weight gain I am up 2kg in the last 5 weeks and finding it pretty tough mentally. I am eating well and excercising so trying to focus on being kind to myself. 16wks today and next appointment/scan is monday

    Hope all are well, @giz big hugs for being sick

    Feeling quite sorry for myself now. Still not had a decent nights sleep. Went to bed at 10pm, last recall seeing the clock say midnight, but I know it was still after that that I got to sleep. The coughing fits are just horrible. OH slept downstairs! In the end I had to eat soothers and sleep upright. Woke up at 6am to my mouth/jaw/teeth killing me!! I think I must have had my mouth clamped the whole night!

    Trying not to talk much today to keep the coughing at bay. My side is killing me.

    Dunno if it was wishful thinking but I felt some bubbles this morning as I was about to get in the shower. Twice :D Am hoping it's baby, I know I'm going to be sat here all day waiting for more!

    Lao_cat - did you try under the bump jeans? My under the bump jeans from last time just about fit (even if the bum is a bit baggy) and same with my black trousers for work, the under the bump ones fit quite nicely. But the over the bump, or the ones with elastic sides were just way too big for now.

    I'm on the hunt for tops tomorrow. OH is staying at home with DD while I get a couple of hours bliss shopping on my own.
