OH is just back from Asda, they had these (for pink bumps) and these (for blue bumps) down to £1. Ours had tiny baby and first size ones in stock.

OH bought us one of each size just in case.

Might be useful for those having early babies

Congrats to Missymoo.

Hugs to Toniq.

My back and hips are quite a bit better today. tried the pillow between the legs thing last night but I kept waking up and finding it gone! I took one of my microwave wheat bag things to work incase it played up there.

The pillow thing is a god send Lisa, I'm 29 weeks and only started doing it in the past few weeks, and I can stretch out now after sleeping without getting horrible cramp and everything. I just use a flat cushion from the sofa

...((hugs)) so sorry things are stressful for u and hope that your sugar levels get better and the other things are resolved it all seems so much to deal with but once your baby girl is here it will be worth all this carp. I am also sorry that they have scared u too I think that u have a good mw I hope u get too see her enough so she can support u.

If you have ever had REAL flu, you would want the jab.
Its not a live vaccine so wont develop a mild flu like blip nor will it increase your risk of getting it contrary to popular myths or what the woman down the road says.
Being pregnant you are more liekly to catch flu this winter and more likely to develop serious complications if you do get it.

So even if you only have a few weeks left you guys are getting the jab??I took my DD for hers last month and didn't even think about me plus the MW/cons haven't mentioned it.Hmmmm.

I would - what if you get flu right after the birth, how difficult wilt hat make to care for the newborn baby!!!

I wasnt sure about the jab, but when I read the leaflet, I found out I would be allergic to it (developed in eggs). Also I had the flu after my lh surge for 2 weeks so I'm probably ok now. I liked the idea of immunity for the baby.

Good point!I'm entitled to it as I'm a carer to two special needs kids but never bothered.Will ask the MW on thurs tx:D

Oh and re the pillows and legs.I have a billion pillows to help me sleep.I have one inbetween my ankles,a big thick orthopaedic pillow one stacked on top raising my knees so it's double thickness.Then I have my triangley tummy wedge pillow holding bump up,with a long bolster pillow I tuck under my boobs,elbows and chin,THEN 2 lovely ortho pillows under my head.I cannot tell you how GUTTED I am when I need the loo after sorting all that lot out:rotfl:

Agreed. What also swayed it for me was knowing my baby will also be protected after birth,which is so important for winter babies.
