Rups32 - I recommend a bump band (ASDA, Amazon). You wear it with your pre-pregnancy unbuttoned trousers and it holds them up. I bought 2 pairs of maternity trousers and was only able to wear them a few weeks each so a waste of money. My bump band, however, is still fab even though I'm 37wks. Asda also do nice cheap tops if you're interested.

Totally agree with this! I got a topshop one BNWT for £3 off ebay and it is so soft and comfy - I wear it every day with pre-preg jeans! There are loads for sale on ebay, but don't get some of the cheaper ones - primark/new look as they stretch out badly.

You can buy cheap boob tubes in primark that you can use as bump bands or for layering.

Wow, lots of newbies! Welcome! :wave:

I think I remember some of you from the TTC thread too

You've been a chatty bunch today, hope people are feeling better, yesterday seemed a poo day for most people!

I was also told to photocopy my MATB1 form as MW said I wouldn't be able to get another if it got lost/misplaced. My work needed the original and OH's work needed a copy too.

We got the Sanctuary cotbed from Mothercare £130, mattress was reduced to £55 and then got 10% off so got both for £167, bargain! Paid for by OH nan too bless her, she's 86 and done it for the other grandkids so wanted to do it for us too, bless her.

I second that about cheaper Pregnacare multivitamins, I've been taking Boots own brand, getting them when they are on 3 for 2, they have exactly the same stuff in them!
Gotta be MSE :money:

My 2 best friends have been over for tea and cake today, was lovely! We try to meet up once or twice a week. One of my friends used to do reflexology so gave me a lovely foot massage to try and bring this baby on! It was amazing

6 days and counting until I'm a boldie........:eek:

Mrs excited - re tens machine i am also on the look out - i am planning on hiring - quite a few places do them, i have looked at boots they have 3 different models also looking into bounty who i think rent out as well. need to get the decision made as they send them to you about 37 weeks and i am 34+4 today.

rups - make sure the multivit has enough vit d in - cant remember the amount recommended though, it is in my mat notes but i am not at home at the moment.

only 3 weeks left at work, cant wait.

unfortunately i have a sore throat and think a cold is on the way, this must be the 5th cold i have had since being pregnant grrrr

hope everyone has a fun weekend

I have finally after lots of procrastination disinfected the hallway and bathroom floor.

I am now really exhausted and want a sleep. Not that big a space but had to hoover sweep and then mop, involved lots of bending which I am not very good at anymore.

Milliebob have you tried talc?
