    Mrs Bunny sorry to hear you are feeling rubbish xx

    For ladies with larger cup sizes, I can't recommend Debenhams enough! They are comfy and I've always got 20% off :D

    Here is my bump at 14 weeks

  • Oooh that's a lovely bump Becca.
    I'm glad mine is starting to look a little more like a bump and not that I've eaten too much now :)

    Coat wise, my existing winter coat has proper button to a high waist and then concealed ones down which I never bothered with anyway, hopefully it'll continue to fit while I get bigger - else I'm going to be staying inside all winter!

    Mine looks both like a bump and like I've eaten too much. A rumour I cannot confirm nor deny :p I seem to have come out at the top first, so I look huge :(dvILzXd.jpg

    TL looking lovely! How far are you now? Lots of lovely bumps today. I see you've exchanged, what a relief! Very exciting that you will be moving soon.

    Have finally exchanged on our house! Soo relieved and can't wait to get in and settled :) went looking at paint for baby's room and chose two lovely purples, one darker than the other for one wall that will have trees with owls on :)

    19 weeks today, anomaly scan on Tuesday. Sort of glad of the house nonsense, distracted me from worrying about it until now :s so hope everything is ok and if it is I really hope we can find out what we're having, so frustrating not being able to look properly at baby things for worrying patterns are too girly if we're having a boy lol

    Ooh and got a Moses basket and stand with matching changing mat, blanket, organiser and toy from one of those facebook buying sites for £35, bargain! So cute too, the Hodge podge mamas and Papas set it is :)

    Lovely bumps ladies, so cute and round! X x

    Hi MrsBunny, I too found maternity shopping a bit up and down in terms of confidence, I'm a 16/18 too and in some of the shops the 16s were tight enough to show off all my lumps and bumps whereas 18s felt like tents... But i got a good fit in a couple of shops. Pre-pregnancy I had a good idea which shops and styles suited me, but now it's a whole new ball game!
    Thanks all for bra advice. Lovely to see all your bumps too x

    What a lovely bump gallery!

    We are painting our nursery in Mellow Sage as we had the paint in for that room already and it will suit our reasonably neutral theme. I have decided to make the dining room the nursery and to just pop the baby in when they are older than planned, maybe a year instead of 6 months. It will make sense when they start to play etc. To make me calmer about it we are getting the fire brigade to come and do a fire safety check to make sure we have everything covered.

    As for clothes I have been very lucky in that I have been given loads by friends and colleagues and most of them have fitted and looked great. I always have a plump stomach so it is nice to not try and hide it anymore. What I am more concerned about is clothing after the birth.

    We have been doing loads of DIY today and I am feeling much better about the house :D

  • Lovely bumps! im 13 weeks now and starting to show :)
    I'm going to sound really naive now but I didn't think you had to pay for NCT classes. Lots of my friends have been to antenatal classes and they never mentioned paying but maybe they just kept that quiet! It seems like so much money? Or is there free ones in the NHS?
