Just saw this bella2121 and it made me giggle! Glad you've got over your embarassment at buying sanitary towels!:D

I've told OH that under no circumstance do I want to know if I poo. If it happens we'll just NEVER talk about it! I'm not a prude, he's seen me in some pretty terrible (usually alcohol induced!) states but I think that would be crossing the line!

LOL :rotfl:dont get me started on how long it took me to go to the docs with piles!!!! (about 12 years ) but like I say now after childbirth, i'm much more open about these things xx

Hi everyone :hello: I hope everyone is well.

I thought i'd best move over here seeing as i'm 24 + 4 now. :j

Nothing much to report tbh although I have my 25 week antenatal appointment next week.

I feel like i'm huge & people keep asking me whether i've got long to go so i'm curious as to what my midwife will say when she see's me waddling in.

I've put the stone back on that I lost at the beginning of the pregnancy but haven't put any additional weight on so perhaps i'm just carrying alot or water. :think:

Knowing my luck i'm probably just having a big baby although i'm alot bigger already than I was just before I had my son who was my largest baby of 8lb 14oz. :eek:

Ooh - my boss has just asked if I'll act as a "consultant" and do the odd few days work whilst I'm off on ML, some at home, some in the office.

Not sure - I have time to think about it - the extra money will definitely be useful, be good to keep in the work loop and will give me something else to think about but then I worry I'd regret not spending every waking second just with baby.

Hi BCS.

Forum your pic is lovely:)....have you remembered to enter the nuby comp thing if you are planning to bf? They seem to be giving out some good things from what the other ladies have posted

I looked at the tax credit site again and yet again this year we would be given the huge sum of nothing whatsoever! :rotfl:

DD that sounds like a brilliant offer. . Please don't take this the wrong way or be upset by it but you may find that a little while after the birth that no matter how much you love and adore your baby you may actually be happy to have a few hours off being a mummy and getting to interact with adults in a work setting.

That's what I'm thinking - it'll help me go back to work afterwards ML too if I've been in touch. but then, it may be nice just to have a total break.

I know I'm allowed 10 KIT days - I think he's thinking of a way round the losing SMP if I do more.

Hmm - we could definitely do with the extra money!

Vroom are you not meant to be taking it easy just now and delegating the jobs to your OH?

Though I did something similar this morning when I was finally building my older sons desk bookcase and storage unit thing that goes on top of the desk. When I had finished and tried to stand up properly to go back downstairs I couldn't. My left leg would not move at all even after I had it out straight in front of me. . I ended sort of half rolling and half moving on my bum to the staircase and then had to bump down them one at a time until I got to the bottom.:o :rotfl: I had to sit against the wall at the bottom for another 15 mins before I could stand up again!

Oh and my boys are both still laughing about it now!
