    lol! no it was unintentional :rotfl:

    I'm the same my boobs have increased 1 cup size and that's it - nipples bigger and darker though.
    It's been the same with each pregnancy so far.

    While we are covering all dodgy subjects I have another to throw in to the pot - swollen lady bits!

    Can't remember who on here was also suffering from this but since her head has engaged I am finding I have rather sore swollen bits by the end of the day :(
    The consultant took a quick look this morning and said to try and keep off feet as much as possible but other than that not much I can do :(

    Now what else haven't we covered? - piles anyone????:rotfl:

    Ha ha what a catch up. It's cheered me up no end to know I'm not suffering alone! :rotfl:

    Constipation - yep (made worse by IBS, absolutely excrutiating)

    Swollen bits - oooh boy yes, for ages, no sympathy from the midwife, poor OH has been cut off for quite a while. Have no idea how they're going to examine me :eek:

    Excessive leaking from pretty much everywhere but b o o b s. I drool on myself when I sleep, my nose and even ears are blocked up *and* my feet and palms sweat a lot - I've destroyed a pair of slippers.

    Snoring - OH is sleeping in the spare room to escape it

    Think we've missed fluid retention? I have elephant feet most days.

    And I regularly spill things down my bump *sigh* :o

    i have developed more than a few of these less than attractive issues throughout pregnancy too. :o in addition I have also got far worse skin than I ever did through my entire teenage years combined no discernable ankles and feet so swollen that none of my shoes fit me any more and a whole host of other issues as well! :rotfl:

    Hi everyone,

    Well I have had such a laugh catching up on the chat this afternoon, has cheered me up and taken my mind off mum for a bit.
    I can say that for the moment the main issue I have had is swollen ankles, which this week have been bearable, and lack of sleep but apart from that can't complain much.

    Claireloo focus on your hols hun, worrying won't do anything and you could have spent all that time thinking of the pool, paperbacks and the gorgeous fresh food... It seems a random science for aprox measurements, so let's all hope our babies are minding their own business and growing as they should.

    Starting to plan my leaving date properly now with accountant, feels more real. He is going to let me know what my wages will be month on month which will help us budget. Next week I will only have 4 weeks left as am finishing 3rd week in June due to hols I need to take, and a few spare days hol to take in June too...

    Re: maternity clothes I have managed up to now (31 weeks) with 1 pair of maternity jeans which are over bump. The rest are normal clothes, so thankfully haven't spent a great deal. i do still need to get a new bra as my one is almost at breaking point...

    Midwife app tomorrow, must remember to pee in pot...

    Ha ha PigPen now that's created a mental picture for me, poor Lirin!

    Me! But I bet she's really 5ft 8+, leggy and gorgeous.

    Seriously hot offer on mamas and papas maternity underwear. 3 for £15 including £36 bras! I'm on the site now but think I need a bigger size now and at work so can hardly measure myself here :o

    for anybody who is at all worried about bump measurements my sister has just reminded me about a girl I went to school with. she was admitted to hospital a matter of hours after finishing her final exam.....and delivered her son just after 07:00 the following morning. He was full term and a respectable weight yet she had no discernable bump ever! :eek:

    Hello!

    Had my hospital appointment this afternoon. Talk about take the pi$$ they were running two hours behind! Anyway I've seen the consultant & she said usually they would induce me but as I've had a section previously they didn't want to do that due to a risk of my scar rupturing.

    So she examined me & baby is head well down & she said my cervix was 1cm stretching to 2 so she did a sweep. I am now playing the waiting game to see if things will start on there own if not I am booked in for 8am friday morning providing they have a bed (I've got to ring at 7.30) They will then try & break my waters to try & get my contractions started. If that doesn't work then they will take me for a section.

    Hopefully I've not got to much longer to wait for my baby either way :j
    Our 1st baby is due 29th December 2007! :rudolf:
    I'm hopeful that this get's me out of cooking Christmas dinner!

    Baby Ruby arrived after 55 hours of labour & an emergency c section on Christmas Day at 14.41 weighing 6lb 6oz...And yes I did get out of cooking Christmas dinner!!:rotfl:
