    I've been since I'm pregnant, the midwife said it wad ok. I used the kids bowling balls and accepted I would be awful and just didn't do anything that felt uncomfortable. I had a great time though :-) you could go and sit out if it doesn't feel right?

    Nothing interesting happening here just doodling along. Told my mum last week but not worked up to telling anyone else, better find some courage soon or my tummy will be talking for me!

    Thanks girls!

    Anyone seen any cheap nursing vests? I'm refusing to pay £15 for 1! I'm always hot so I am reluctant to layer a tshirt over a primark vest (particularly as I'm due in the summer)
    If at first you dont succeed, try, try again

    Ooooh you're due when I am! I'm 21wks tomorrow :)

    To the person who asked about swimming - its odd because there's pressure on your tummy from the water but it's nice because you feel pregnant! Oh and it's rubbish because the sauna/steam room is banned. I've been twice since my sickness subsided - I'm a fat git now... Gained 26lbs eating carbs to make my sickness feel better!

    don't bother they only come unclipped whenever you try to do anything and you end up walking about with a tit hanging out .. get vests a size bigger than you need and cover your tummy with a muslin or light cot sheet.

    I've gained over 2 stone just eating.. I didn't have sickness I just turned into a goat and eat everything in sight.. I do not fit in most of my maternity stuff already!

    Oh really?! That's brilliant news! I am 5ft 3 and normally anything regular length swamps me!

    Need something for spring - got a load of lovely longish tops but no trousers!

    I'd suggest getting one pair to try.. they do free returns. My sister wears their petite ones at 5ft 1.. I think I might just have slightly longer legs than a usual [EMAIL="short@rse"]short@rse[/EMAIL]

    Morning all hope everyone is well :)

    19+1 today feeling really stressed at the moment, really hormonal the slightest thing seems like a massive issue, anyone else feeling the same? :(

    Also was going to ask, as anyone come into contact with someone with slapped cheek whilst pregnant? I'm pretty sure that's what my ds has and reading online is saying its none treatable so not much point in going the docs but is saying it can be dangerous during pregnancy, I'm thinking of going the docs with him just to be sure xx
