Babyboysmummy is going home today so I'm sure she'll be on here herself before long to say thank you to you all for your wishes and prayers. She is feeling very upset about having to leave little Alfred in hospital so far away from home, so let's continue to think of them both at what must be a really difficult time. I've seen some photos of the little fighter and he is tiny but perfect.

How far is the hospital? That must be really hard for her.

More prayers needed.

A 3 hour round trip at the moment, but I think she said after he has passed 30 weeks they can look to move him to a special care unit closer to home. Can't even begin to imagine

That is such a long way - I can't imagine either.

Sending all my love and thoughts to them all.

:jyay for being 37 weeks Dusty. It will drag in next week but youll be thankful when you have those extra weeks at the other end with bubs.

I feel like work is dragging now and Ive still got about another 12 weeks .......Need a good kick up the bum ,lol Well I suppose I better crack on with some invoices. Will no doubt pop back this afternoon.

Just reading about bumps earlier on in the thread .... I've had a proper bump since about 12 weeks and have been in maternity clothes all that time too

I look like I have a few weeks left to go, and everyone looks horrified when I tell them I'm not due until July :eek: I dread to think how big I'll be by then. I feel very full, like the baby has taken up all the room inside there that he possibly can. Very uncomfortable. Keep getting asked if it's twins :mad:

Massive difference from last pregnancy when I could still get in normal jeans at 20 weeks

Heartburn is still bad. SPD is getting worse. Still no physio appointment through yet. Can't see me going back to work at all now. 24 weeks tomorrow which is a nice milestone to pass.

I have been huge early on with all my pregnancies.. I am in maternity clothes already at about 9 weeks (though I could be 13 weeks.. but unlikely) I was about 5 weeks with DD3! I have never got to 12 weeks without being in maternity stuff .. I seem to get massive until about 6 months and then not get much bigger.

I'd LOVE to be one of those people who can wear proper clothes until 7 months... I hate maternity stuff it is frumpy and ugly.

I know what you mean - that said I'm finding maternity clobber this time around a bit better.
I'm sure that under the bump jeans weren't widely available when I had my two - all the trousers came to just under the boobs and I don't remember any bump bands which seem to be a solution so you can wear some of your normal tops (if you don't mind stretching them with your boobs)
Slight improvements - but as you say would rather be in my normal clothes.
