Blimey Lirin that's some growth spurt!! Could just be bubs lying in different positions though - I look smaller now than I did at 24 weeks because he was high up then and now he's gone lower. I weighed myself about a fortnight ago and I've put on 2 STONE :eek:!!!

Oh, Lirin, forgot to ask, did you get to the bottom of those baby noises?

Lirin

No to baby noises. Only happens at work, so convinced it's either my boss or one of the guys playing a trick.......

Just be careful as one of these products says not to use if pg. Not sure i it's 4Head or the Boots own brand one though. The other is fine, and I found it worked a treat.
Go see your Dr about ongoing headaches though.

I read the leaflet it said it was suitable for pregnancy and breastfeeding, I bought the 4head, it wasn't much more expensive than Boots own brand. It doesn't have any pain killers in it or anything, just natural menthol stuff. It seems to have worked anyway because I have no headache today

I can't think of anything more horrifying TBH...

Decorator is papering next Tuesday so I can emulsion Wednesday and Thursday... he is doing ceiling Friday.. Monday I'll touch up the emulsion in case of slops and The following uesday the carpet can go in. (2nd August.. or 3rd, I'm not sure which is best at the moment.. need to check which day the girls are away to camp.) The girls go away for a few days then so I can spend a couple of days building and shuffling furniture and with a carpet down Squeak can come up and play.

In the meantime... undercoat and B&Q are calling!

Red carpet, silver skirting.... pale lemon and turquoise walls. Cream fire surround and doors.

Wow PP, thats an interesting combo, there was me thinking you liked neutrals!!

Slowing down? NO! Sun before last measured my stomach and waist was 46in. Last night was 54in!!! :eek:Weight is still a couple of pounds under pre-preg weight....
Begged my boss to allow me to work from a paddling pool, he pointed out water and pc's usually aren't a good mix....

Really?!?!? That's a big jump. Maybe your baby is doing a headstand between your spine and belly button. I'm going to measure mine tonight. It's def smaller in the mornings.

Paddling pool sounds like a great idea. I'm sure I could convince my boss. Actually, I could just bring a pool in and put it under my desk and they probably wouldn't say anything.

Right, how am I supposed to do all these:
- keep feet elevated to relieve swelling
- dont sit in recline position but sit upright or leaning forward to encourage baby into good position
- spend time on all fours to encourage good position for baby
- sit on gym ball to relieve hip and back pain
- spend 8+ hours a day using a pc at work

Can someone invent some kind of pregnancy contraption to do all this?
