Of course you should eat if you are hungry!!!!!!!! You cannot starve yourself!!!!

Im not starving myself, but its getting to the point where I will have dinner then less than two hours later I feel like I could eat it all over again!

I am filling myself up on healthy stuff, but just feel like all I ever do is eat, or think about eating :rotfl:

Can anyone help please? I am 37 weeks pregnant and trying to sort out a TENS machine problem. When I had DD, my friend gave me her Lloyds Pharmacy Labour TENS machine but I used it so now need replacement pads. My local Lloyds do not have these and they are out of stock on the website too. Has anyone bought a reasonably priced one elsewhere? After the pain I went through last time, I wouldn't really like to be without one this time around.

Hi all,

25 weeks tomorrow, wow where has the time gone!

Mini G is wiggling away nicely which is so reassuring. We started our antenatal classes last week, seems like a nice crowd of people (if a bit posh - we went NCT dah-ling :rotfl:) so it really does feel a little like we're on the home stretch now...

Hubby has been really good recently. After posting that he was not very useful, he's now done a complete 180 like everybody told me men do as you get fatter and fatter lol. The flat is now nearly completely decorated, he's cooking a homecooked nutritious meal for us both at least twice a week, and he's probably doing more than half of the household chores too.....I could get used to this!!!:T

With regards to food - I'm 2kg lighter than I was at booking in, so that's a bonus! I've never eaten such healthy food as now I want to make sure I'm giving our baby the best start possible. Because I have a high BMI I have been referred to the dietician and will be attending their sessions starting in the next couple of weeks. The agenda looks really good - cooking for a family on a budget, healthy food swaps etc. so I'll keep you posted if I learn anything of value

Hope you're all having happy, healthy pregancies, and for those that aren't I hope things pick up soon.

You are are all so organised. :eek:

I haven't packed a labour or baby bag yet.

I'm 33 weeks now yet weight about 7lb less than I did before I became pregnant, I did lose a stone initially but have put half of it back on.

It's strange really as I look huge & measure 3 weeks more than I am (they are putting it down to the diabetes but i'm still convinced i'm 3 weeks further on than the scan said ).

The baby was only on the 50th percentile last time they scanned me a couple of weeks ago too plus she said that I only have normal levels of fluid. :think:

Morning all.

Bella, glad you got sorted out.

Everyone talking about food- I saw an advert for Subway this morning. Now, I can't get it out of my head- yummy ham and turkey with a bit of pretty much everything....mmmmm.

Back and hips playing up- went majorly on Friday. Asked nice boss for a couple of mins here and there to walk round the outside of the building, but didn't help- by the time I got home I felt like a 90-yr-old, and could swear I felt my hip grinding- painful! Hobbit took me for a walk around the local gardens- can usually do it in 10 mins. Took 2 hours, with a rest break in the middle. Thankfully, whatever it was seems to have sorted itself out, feel alright now!
Not used to feeling sick or sore- I'd normally just work if I feel sick and get on with it. Used to joints aching from doing martial arts, not because of baby- so was having a nice moan to nice boss, who says his wife is exactly the same. He reassured me that I am actually good-looking, don't resemble a beached whale in the slightest, and am perfectly lovable. Says he's well used to saying that after three kids so far....
Hobbit got all ultra-soppy when I stuck the doppler on my belly. He's thrilled, and keeps talking to Hitchhiker, which is sweet.
DSD had her third driving lesson with Hobbit and I on Saturday. Although she's only 10, she's just big enough to touch the pedals, so she's being taught basic stuff- reversing, parking, gear control. She's thrilled to be doing something 'adult' and keeps asking me to let her drive everytime she sees me!

Happy Due Date to Madbird hope you are getting mummy cuddles soon!

Flower08 I feel ravenous all day long and I've not been the best at eating healthily tbh, a little bit of what you fancy is always good. I have no idea how much weight I've put on - not even going to bother to weigh myself until after baby is born!

And I can't remember anything else..............:D

Morning ladies

I'm anxious about my growth scan today

I've had really bad cramps all weekend, lost mucus and had diawoo this morning. Really thought it was all starting last night as the pains were quite, well, painful but with hindsight I think the head had just gone down a bit further making my pelvis more sore than it already is. So ready to get this over and done with now.

Labour vibes to the boldies xx

Oh botheration...

I got up this morning and I cannot walk... and I need to go buy rabbit food and litter, and do trips to B&Q and Dunelm.... I was supposed to be meeting my friend for dinner but I honestly don't think I can manage to sit on a dining chair for 2 hours

My back front and legs are so painful.. I have been awake most of the night and for once it wasn't miss naughty baby keeping me up..

It took me 4 attempts to get my knickers on this morning and OH wasn't even 'helping' .. and my trousers took even longer...
