    The one I got from ebay was a babyland brand from china and after buying I read the reviews which aren't great so won't be purchasing more but they look great. (see stitch a few pages back)

    I'd call the police or thump heavily on wall see if they got the hint. I had to go down to mine once and they started again Saturday I just jumped my heavily pregnant self up and down on floor a few times (they downstairs flat) and they turned it down immediately. Beware the pregnant one lol
    love you lots like jelly tots :o

    My midwife in Ripon told my OH I could literally get away with murder while pregnant as hormones can be used as extenuating circumstances. Not sure if it's really true or if she could sense he was buggin me lol x

    I thought I'd got away with not having back ache, but no. This child's either doubled in size or shifted position and has spent the past 24 hours with some part of its body wedged in my rectum. I can't poo, I can't guff, my back's agony. :(

  • In NW London, glorious weather today. Our new bath's been delivered, I've had great fun working in the conservatory (35C), and about to rescue DW from the underground. Pregnant females + underground + rush hour + warm weather = better go armed with a bottle of water for her...

    Oh, and if the weather stays like this for the rest of the week, my in-laws will make great use of the conservatory, while we're both working and they're destroying our bathroom! :)

    Rebekah - my !!!! bled when i was pregnant aswell and I had no evidence of any piles. I saw the doc and she just said it was a tear actually inside my bum hole and that as long as it was fresh blood and stopped after a few wipes it was fine. It can happen next time you go aswell if it hasn't had time to heal so don't worry if you see it again.

    Regarding the woolly mammoth that is the sheep it is a good idea to use it from birth as they get used to it very quick and it provides comfort for them. Some people who use them after a few weeks don't get as good use out of them cos their babies already have learned behaviour if that makes sense. They are ace and my little Tricky loves his.

    Hope you are all well and i still miss the daily gossip.

    fluff my condolences, a few months ago I couldn't go for a week (!) and it was torture. I sincerely hope you get to poo soon!!

    I'm back from the hospital, and after an hour of monitoring with a final blood pressure of 118/68, the lowest it has been since January, I was sent on my merry way with no sweep, as the midwife said no need to interfere if BP is fine .....I'm very happy as I wasn't comfortable with the idea, the sweep itself I'm ok with but I felt the consultant didn't make a proper decision, just an automatic "errr...sweep...next please!" kind of judgement, whereas the midwife took the time to examine me, baby and my notes before making a recommendation.

    So, miss money doesn't look like I'm going to beat you just yet!!

    Why's the Dream Sheep so good? I've got this, ( http://www.mamasandpapas.com/product-babyplay-sheep/755882733/type-i/ ) is it any different?

    I do have two e-cards for M&P, a £10 and a £5, I'm wondering if I could use together and maybe get a deal?

    Had the GTT this morning. Wasn't too bad except I had a major headache so didn't go back to work. Oh and both arms wouldn't stop bleeding after the tests. That was fun. OH nearly passed out so I had to give him my comfy chair & nurse fussed over him! God knows what he'll be like at the birth!
