I did bump bands Lablover. Just looked like I'd layered up and still wore tight things. Rub your tummy if you feel fat. Fat people don't try and make out they're pregnant whereas preggers ladies do

Where did you get yours - I want to get one and am wondering if it's worth paying out a bit more for one that stays put!

I am having a strop as DH has his 'phone off, which is notalot of use if I go into labour.

Oh I'm having this issue too, OHs phone is either turned off, ran out of battery, on silent, in his bag, left downstairs when he is sleeping "so he doesn't get disturbed" - causing major rows:mad:

Can someone help please? I'm looking for a laundry basket for baby, to go in baby's room - but I want a nice one Maybe a nice wicker style, but it has to be white. And not expensive! I'm not too keen on the pop up ones - any ideas????

I may invest in some bump bands. I always used to frown at pregnant women rubbing their tums, I used to think "yes I know your pregnant " :oNow I cant keep my hand away from it , lol Rub it all the time ...... Also I used to be the person that tutted whenever a baby screamed in super market now Im like "aw bless , the wee mite is bored " My OH thinks its funny

I am going to suggest he pays for a doula if he can't get with the program.

Originally from BFF - she had 2 in black which I think were new look. I'll have a look tonight and post if it's anything different.
The Asda clothes don't wash too well I'll say that as I had to repair some of the tops she gave me from there.
THE essential top is the long sleeve cotton from Next. OMG they are made of the lovliest brushed cotton. That and my Kiddicare wrap over dress and My DP one. The fabric is such good quality they just hang so right.

Think I'm going to have given birth before I see a physio for my SPD at this rate. Could cry. I'm in so much pain this week I gave in this afternoon and phoned the physiotherapy dept to chase my appointment. They have just phoned me back to say that the one and only obstetric physio they have is on holiday in Australia for a few weeks and isn't due back until 21st March. BUT the physio who picked up my phone message has checked where she keeps all her appointments and there isn't a referral there in my name, so it doesn't look like they've received my GP referral at all anyway

Just phoned the GP surgery and got a very rude receptionist who was obviously trying to rush me off the phone before giving me chance to explain I had phoned them up to chase the appointment already :mad: She said she'd pass it on to Dr. XXX, which isn't even the right bl**dy GP :mad:

I want to scream

So, my sick note runs out on 24th March, and the physio doesn't even get back to work until 21st March. No chance of being seen before I'm supposed to be back at work, so another sick note it will be. And to top it all, my boss hasn't phoned me back yet either regarding my annual leave status and I've been waiting for that phone call since 2nd March.

Yes, but didn't have a clue. Contacted Unison and they were equally crap and basically said it depends what is in my contract. I'm getting to the point where I'm past caring. I have to put in my formal letter within the next week, and I think for ease I'll just start my maternity leave at 36 weeks so there is no arguing over pushing me onto maternity early due to sickness. I'll ask them then to confirm in writing what my options are for taking the 19 days annual leave I have accrued. See what they say, and take it from there.
