I've been leaking for weeks, no idea why it started so early, but if it gives any indication about milk etc, then I'm happy. As I've really got my heart set on breast feeding.

Me too,I wasn't successful with bf my son due to useless midwives so sadly quit too easily.

I think the midwives are very good now, and there are a lot of support networks out there for you, if needed. I think it's definitely something that has to be persevered with if that makes sense, but hopefully it'l work out

I know I think maybe for younger mums it's harder to ask for the help. Not in all cases though.

My friend is doing her dissertation on breast feeding marketing and in her local area only 23% of mums breast feed, which shocked me.

My mum breast fed me so I guess that sort of helped me make my decision, as a child and even now I've no allergies, wasn't a sick child at all, and I know it's not all cases but I feel that probably helped.

Can anyone recommend some over the bump jeans? Given I'm now 31 weeks don't want to pay alot. Had some red herring ones from first pregnancy which I've used again but a bit tight now. Got some recently from dorothy perkins with the band that sits on the bump which felt fine in the shop but now wearing can't seem to keep up even though right size and driving me mad.

I bought some over the bump skinny jeans from ASOS that I'd recommend. They were £30 so don't know if you'd call that too expensive but they are very comfy!!

On the decaff subject, I drink decaff tea most of the time and can't tell that much difference now, Like Gilly I have the tetley one. I find the coffee is really hard to tell the difference, my mum only has decaff coffee in the house and often gives it to people without telling them and they never notice!

Decaff coffee tastes exactly the same to me! I've tried Kenco, Nescafe and of course Cafe Nero, Starbucks, Costa etc.

Lirin

I drink decaff Kenco now. I did find a difference in taste, but it's bearable when normal coffee gives me heartburn 80% of the time!

Sitting most of day since DH and I walked around the shops with a hot water bottle between my legs, as pretty much every way of sitting or lying is bit painful..... Though have doritos, with salsa and cheese heating in the oven.....

I tried lots DP's, Next and Asda. Asda ones were by far the best. I have over and under bump ones and they are both so comfy. I think about £14 per pair.
