I've got my maternity leggings from New Look. They do two pairs for £14.99, although I'm sure other places are cheaper. I have a pair from H&M too and they're really baggy around the top, but it's probably because they're a Large whereas the ones I got from New Look are Medium. (Edit - pre-pregnancy I was size 12-14...)

Thanks for the cheeky update on Lirin, Gilly. Really glad to hear she's doing ok!

I'm so tired today! Gettin up for work again was a real struggle! However, I'm only in work four and a half days this week, then possibly three days next week, depending on what my blood pressure is like on Friday afternoon, and then I am properly on maternity leave! Had a chat with my manager this morning and she's happy for me to do as much or as little as I want, which is fab, so I will just see how I get on this week. I really want to avoid changing my mat leave dates if possible, but will just take one day at a time.

Gilly, have you looked on Mamas and Papas for sheets? I know you're not speaking to them, but you do have a voucher! That's where I got mine from. Can't remember if they had blue for cribs though, I bought cheesecake colour but can't remember why I chose it. If not, EBay?

If anyone wants to do me a favour I'd be grateful

I want fitted sheets for a crib, in blue if possible. Out of stock at Mothercare and, £19.98 for 4 from Babies R Us, if anyone can find them cheaper or with cheaper delivery than BRU (£4.95 :eek: ) I'd be very grateful xx

How about these?

Aimless They don't have blue on M&P not in fitted crib sheets. I think my OH will shoot me if I even speak about buying anything again I don't really want to spend the voucher until I hear back from them, as I've ranted on and on about how it's not enough compensation etc :eek:

Thanks Jenjade

Looks like Babies R Us is the best option, they are doing free delivery, for orders over £29, so I could find something else to add on I'm sure for a tenner. No point in paying £25 for the sheets and delivery if I can get the sheets and something else and delivery for £29

Gilly last time I was in BRU they were doing buy 1 get 1 half price on bedding/blankets etc - might be worth checking if the offer is still on?

I have 2 pairs of the matalan maternity leggings and they are so comfy - although maybe a little thin but I am wearing some lovely leg warmers with them which makes up for it

Yep that's the offer I'm getting everywhere seems a similar price to be honest.

I have a £5 off voucher, for BRU, but it can't be used online, so putting me off slightly, as I want to get these ASAP, and our BRU is located inside ToysRUs, which understandably at this time of year, is somewhere I do not want to be! :rotfl:

Think I will just go with these, I want the blue, as we have a lot of neutral blankets, so would be nice if something was colourful

I don't think it would Carmilla, I think it's basically just open wounds and acidic urine. It'l hurt, but people say if you drink as much fluid as you can it dilutes the urine more so less pain, or some people have a cup of water at the ready to sort of throw over the area during the wee. Hope this helps.

I heard a tip to lean right forward so the wee goes straight down the loo rather than over sore bits and then down the loo.

Another one to add to the list what a palaver for going to the loo.

I have some of the bedding from BRU and it is nice quality so I would go for it.....although I did get mine on a 20% off day which they seem to do lots of lately
