*hugs* to muddypuddle. Have you spoken to your GP or a pharmacist to see if there's anything they can give you to reduce the swelling?
Is the being off balance a new thing? It could be just down to your centre of gravity being different due to the bump but if it came on suddenly or you're feeling generally unwell it may be worth speaking to your GP or midwife.

Unfortunately you can still get morning sickness at 21 weeks - some people are sick and feel nauseous throughout the whole of their pregnancy.

Thanks Mrs Manda. No I've not spoken to anyone, as I woke up with it this morning at 5am and can't face going outside today! I look shocking. Its not a rare thing for me though as since about the age of 20 I seem to have developed an allergy to everything. The balance thing is just related to it, I'm sure and part of feeling so sick. I really doubt its morning sickness as my last bout ended about 7 weeks ago, and not had a thing since, but you never know!

I think we're almost decided on boys name. We're pretty sure we're having a boy, and we like Ellis Harry James, so think we're going to go with that unless something else crops up in the next 19 weeks!

Money puddle I've been off sick since last Wednesday caused by heat exhaustion and dehydration. I don't feel bad in the slightest. If I'm not up for work healthwise I'm going to hurt LO and that is FAR worse a prospect than letting work down.

So, you just get yourself right.

Moneypuddle your skin gets extra sensitive in pregnancy too hun so it's probably not helped, hope it clears up soon though, and don't worry about work it can't be helped. xx

Thanks twinklie! I'm ashamed to be a bit of workaholic. Even now I'm sat at home thinking I could be re-sealing the tiles in the bathroom or sanding the kitchen tops! I find sitting down doing nothing just so boring, but know baby has to come first and I'll be back tomorrow!

Am a bridesmaid this weekend as well, so NEED my face to go down or the bride will kill me! :eek:

Kitten Aurora sounds lovely, although I'm sitting here trying to say it and I'm not sure I can. There are quite a few words I cannot get my tongue around tho. How do you say it? It's quite unusual too.

(A-Roar-A) Could be shortened to Rory which is more unisex which I like.

One of the issues is that it is the name of Sleeping Beauty and I can imagine jokes or 'she likes a little !!!!!' and that is just from us.:cool:

Meant to add:

Moneypuddle Hope you feel better soon, my skin has been really sensitive throughout pregnancy (have eczema) so can sympathise, might be worth a trip to the docs as they might be able to recommend alternative products that won't aggrevate your skin as much (((hugs))))

Love the name Aurora Kitten it's beautiful

Hey all, really hot here too although we have mirror film on the windows which helps keep it a little more bearable.

My company have been really good which I was worried about however not sure if this is because I let it slip regularly in conversations that my FIL works for the tribunal service and my OH advises the ministers on the tribunal policy so they know that if they slip up I would have no problems taking things further.

Opened up our baby name spreadsheet and like the name Aurora however think it might be open to bullying but can't see how. Any ideas on how it can be warped? Surname is Boyd.

I really like Aurora, very pretty and unusual I met someone at a wedding last month who's little girls are called Athena and Sienna both of which I really liked but DH has vetoed as they don't go with our surname

eeeessshh how hot is it :j

Kitten, I dont think you can ever pick a name that wont be changed or made fun of by someone - all we've tried to do is make sure its not obviously daft (like Philip Philips from this season of American Idol :rotfl: ) I like Aurora :T we picked Elena for our girls name.

We have 3 names, if anyone cares to give opinions my Fav is Blake, OH likes Caleb and Issac. We will pick 2 from these, our surname is Norman so not too worried - although I have said I prefer not to have Isaac Norman as in my head I hear Isaac Newton :cool:

Im now starting to get a few pregnancy niggles, including heart palpitations which are starting to freak me out a little night time cramps and if one more person says to me "oooh not long now" I may well thump them :mad: especially when I say 16 weeks actually and they reply "oh" :mad:
