    Hello new thread :)
    got a big day tomorrow, the hubby takes his driving test, he's bricking it. he's putting loads of pressure on himself to pass so he can get us to the hospital when the baby comes. he doesn't want my mum taking over, nor do i. she's got it all planned - we'll go and stay with her when it's due and she'll take us. she's planned it all and not discussed it with us, we've been told :eek: she's doing her best to try and infiltrate herself into this baby's life, "the second child she never had" in her words. she even keeps trying to take us to see the midwife, she says it because she's worried about me, it's not it's because she wants to take this baby over as her own, i wouldn't mind so much if she was nice, or i liked her, but she wasn't that good a mother to me, she's a narcissist and everything is all about her:(

    Put your foot down little angle and don't let your mum take over. If you give an inch she'll just keep taking.

    Lots of luck to your DH and his driving test. :) My dad couldn't drive when they had me so after getting mum to the hospitial he had to walk home. Two days later there was a madman outside the maternity window doing starjumps - my dad as he'd just passed his test :D

    Hi ladies, can I get added to the list please? I do read this thread, but havnt posted on here before.

    Missyy76 I have brought the navy stripy nighty to take to the hospital, got it for £4.20 too, what a bargain!

    Smileyface26 I'm having period pains top atm, had them for about 2/3 days and feel really tender, the little fella is moving around all the time and giving me some strong whacks, so I guess its just growing / stretching pains and his powerful feet that are causing the tenderness.

    Thanks for the tip re v neck pillow at dumelm, I have been looking for one, so will pop there on the weekend and have a look.

    New thread! Totally confused myself there! Sorry so many are in pain. Welcome Pookie_Lou. Nothing really to report. DS2 still covered in the pox. Had to rush him down to the surgery on Monday as his temp went up to 39.9 which wasn't good. Seems to be bit more comfortable now although he's struggling to sleep
    Thank you to everyone for sharing competitions!

    Im getting a TENS machine through in a few weeks Lablover I got offered it to review though so don't know what it's going to be like. Hopefully it works!

    Sparkle im with you on the snoring too - embarassingly enough I actually woke myself up the other night after a particularly loud snore!

    littleangel Good luck to your OH but even if he doesn't pass you could always just get a taxi to the hospital (saves you paying out masses on parking charges anyway!)

    My rib pain has returned with a vengence this afternoon, I can feel baby pushing herself right underneath it but she doesn't appear to want to move!
