Thanks all - will try those Blue Monkey! I'm trying not to tense up but it's not easy. I've taken paracetomol but not sure it's touching it now.
Thanks K, I think I might have to!

Get your hubby to ring. If they think you are contracting too much to speak that is usually a good sign that things are progressing so will want you checked over. Don't be scared of making a fuss my lovely xx

SC - I agree with Kandboys, get your hubby to ring them. I did this first time round and although they wanted to talk to me as well as hubby I made myself sound more breathless then I actually was (naughty me!) and they told me to come in. Lucky I did really as my waters broke on the way to the hospital and then I was in serious pain from the contractions!

Kindles - I love love love mine, I was also unsure about getting one as I love proper books, but it's amazing. They have a free book chart as well as the paid for books, so there are loads you can get for no cost at all. I've got mine all ready for hospital, nice and easy to use with one hand!

Thought I'd upload another picture of my tummy, seems to have exploded over night, again :eek: I'm 22+4 and feel like I'm rather round. Ignore the skanky clothes

Looks good Gilly!

Skint, good luck, I can't offer any advice, but thinking of you!

Don't you think I look massive already :eek: Luckily I've got height or I'd be toppling over I think


Yummymummy I think the kindles hold around 7500 books.

WAAAAH!! I'm up with mum, and its FREEEEZING here. Just went to put on my snuggly boots for the first time this year, and they dont fit any more, cos my feet have swollen/spread/expanded. They were my only hope as they are slouchy knit ones, and now i dont have anything warm to wear on my poor cold footsies!

Gilly, I will happily meet up and you will decide you look slim and toned in comparison. Street sellers avoid me, people happily let me queue-jump in most shops (I'd never ask, it's always offered!), and everyone in work assumes I'm giving birth next week.

And I'm only 10 weeks ahead of you!

Don't mind the idea of a Kindle, although how much are the books to put on it? I like car boots and charity shops for books for no more than £1 or the library so imagine that the choice is more limited, and will cost more. Plus, how much time am I going to have to read once sproglet is here then I'm back at work?!

Prices vary. There are plenty of free books to download, but they're mainly the classics that are now out of copyright, think Pride & Prejudice, Jane Eyre etc. New books can cost roughly the same as a paperback. Amazon do sales on kindle books sometimes and you can get good deals but not as good as £1 charity shop or library books

We'l do coffee soon I had my first Hot Chocolate of the winter period yesterday and it was devine, even the thought now I want another but I can't justify £3.30

Oh those annoying nightclub leafleters (is that even a word) at Vic Square have started to avoid me now must not look the disco dancing type anymore...

Mmmm. Starbucks Christmas coffee...... Pity I have to buy the smallest cup they do now, as it's too much!

Finally got heating sorted yestarday. Hitchhiker helped with that! I arrived home from work just as DH was preparing to pay- one look at bump, and managed to negotiate a discount, special rate on a boiler service, and a chimney sweep!
