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

My tummy was like that on Tuesday, figured it's everything starting to stretch out was pretty uncomfy at work though!

Right ladies, just looked in the Argos catalogue and they only do one 55cm ball - their own which is cheapest. This would be fine but it doesn't come with a foot pump. I'm guessing a foot pump is pretty critical....?

Any other recommendations for where to buy one?

Make sure you get an antiburst one. I just googled and bought mine. Some Tescos do them...mine doesn't.

As for exercises, you don't have too. I'm just doing it to increase core strength which is meant to make labour easier!!

Oi! The birthing space hoppers was MY idea! I'm going to get rich on it one day! (They double up as a handy, safe weapon to belt annoying husbands over the head with while in labour)

This site is adorable! Upload a picture of you and your other half and it morphs them to show you what your baby will look like. I've just done a little boy and a little girl and they're both so lovely, I'm now even more desperate to meet my baby

One word of warning, be careful if your OH isn't clean shaven; both my babies have distinct five o'clock shadow

In fact, I love it so much I'm going to post the results... how cute are these two?

Do I need to do exercise on it? I thought I'd just sit on it while watching the telly. I'm not a very exercise-y person. I could do some gentle rocking??

Just woke up. Slept 1 1/2 hours/ Now to go potter in garden for a bit whilst I can!

Chrissy you will find if you are like me that you sit on and just move with your body. I bounce but get bored of that quick tbh! Sit and rock from side to side, front to back, round in circles on the left and then the right and sit with legs wide open and stretch from side to side and back to stretch my legs out. And the other thing is getting on my hands and knees and lean on it and rock in circles and back to front - side to side etc. Just make it up! I do

You can look back for where I got mine from on ebay. Has exercises (tbh I not done) and a pump with it.

If I got one of these hubby would the throwing dirty innuenodo's at me over it!:rotfl:
