Shall I get one of those ball things?

They are very comfy to sit on and rock. Make my back and hips feel better when I'm sat on mine. They are also supposed to be good for getting baby engaged and also using in labour.

Bounce BB, bounce!

I have one because the physio gave me a list of exercises to do everyday (if possible) on it, to strengthen my core. I enjoy it actually, it's really comfy.

I got that one! Yes get one I use it to perch on for a little rest and it is comfy. Just make sure its the right height for you. Your legs should be at right angles or slightly lower than your hips.

I'm just watching channel 5 when this is done I think I will try and take a nap. Wanna go in garden and make most of the weather too but i'm rubbish at getting up and doing stuff in the morning. Still tierd too.

Kittens!!! Awwwwwwwwwwww. Bring back some pictures ...

Wasting time on here, doing washing, bouncing on my ball, and going to my mum's for lunch and to see her cat's 5 little tiny kittens...!

KITTENS!

We got two more kittens at the weekend (I'm like a crazy cat lady, only I'm married and having a baby so it's ok...) and they are cute furry bundles of annoyingness. It's a good thing they're so cute because it sort of makes up for the fact that they're the most irritating things in the whole wide world ever. They have destroyed my lounge - they climb curtains, have knocked over a vase, terrorised my big cat (who is being very patient with them), have thrown three forks and a spoon down the back of my sofa, and keep finding socks in crevices (DH apparently doesn't know where the wash basket is and my housekeeping is clearly not very efficient...).

Still, I luff them.

My tummy hurts. It's all achy, like I've laughed too much and now the muscles hurt. I suspect that's completely normal, it's doing stuff

Thanks RebekahR for the pattern - I'll pass it on, it's very cute and it'll do well for a winter baby

I think they're quite good, for the reasons twinklie said.

Plus when I've been on it and had some strong braxton hicks, gently rocking from side to side does seem to ease them, which makes me think it might be quite a good thing to do during early labour.

Plus you can roll it towards the cat and scare the sh*t out of them, which is always quite amusing...! :rotfl:

My physio said if you are under 5"8 get the 55cm one and if you are over get the 65cm one.

That's right. I got the small one as i'm a tiddler at 5ft 2 1/2!And inflate it and put between a half open door and frame where it closes and measure the gap for the diameter.

Thanks. That was my next question. I haven't got very long legs so wondered whether I needed the small one.
