    Thanks for the welcome sexymouse....I've been here for months though must have got me mixed up with someone else!:rotfl::rotfl:

    Oops - that seems to be happening to me a lot lately - maybe I'm more tired than I realised. lol My tiredness has definitely affected my ability to do maths at school - was teaching number sequences the other day and couldn't for the life of me work out what the pattern on one of the sheets was - at least the teaching assistant couldn't work it out either, so maybe the sheet was wrong (I wasn't given an answersheet by the teacher I was covering, so maybe she was tired when she wrote it lol).
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Ladies, I want to buy a body lotion/oil/cream but not sure what to buy. Should I go for Bio oil? What else it out there as good as that (never used it but it's got good reviews from pregnant women) but not that expensive? If it's that good then I will just buy it. I don't want too have many strech marks, if possible :D.

    rjh - the way I look at it: since I'm the one affected, I make all the decisions re labour, feeding etc. It's none of my DH's business if I go for water birth, epidural, breastfeeding etc. So don't worry about your OH not getting involved - it doesn't really matter what he thinks, it only matters what you think.

    I haven't read much about breech babies as mine has been head down for the past few weeks but I think I would choose a section rather than ecv - I heard it's not very pleasant and can stress the baby.

    RJH- I can definitely empathise, my DH is just the same, he won't talk about things either. We found out yesterday (at 32+5) that bubba is breech, I'm certain will be another c-section for me as they won't try to turn baby as I've had a section already. DH has not wanted to talk about the baby at all since we fell pregnant, he has done practical stuff though like building wardrobes and stuff.

    With my DH its because he worries about stuff, so he won't discuss it until he has absolutely no option, so probably will be on admission to hospital! ;)

    Hope everyone else is OK, haven't really been reading muchas been really busy. Only 2 weeks left at work and then all finished, can't wait as I'm so tired now. Had a power nap this pm which was fab and helped but flagging again already.

    Hope everyone is well, congrats to all those enjoying mummy cuddles, and hugs to anyone that needs them.

    Aida- biooil is fab, no marks for me yet at 32+6 so fingers crossed it is working.

    Currently half price on Amazon too

    Gemma its the same with my oh it is the same and I get it I do but Sadat as I'm concerned breech is a very mine complication. Yes ideally I wanted a natural birth. All I wanted him to do was look at the nhs page on breech which shows a video on ecv and tell him I didn't like the look of it and what did he think.

    Great now he's not moving in :'(
    love you lots like jelly tots :o

    Aida throughout my pregnancy (I'm 39 weeks now!) I've used bio-oil, palmers cocoa butter and Aldis own bio-oil (Re-gen I think its called). I've got a few stretchmarks, mostly down really low and on my hips. None on my belly at all. But I don't know if its down to using the oils/creams or not! Maybe I would have got them worse if I didn't use it, I guess I'll never know! Can't hurt to moisturise though and if it does prevent stretch marks, even better!

    Quick question for you all......MIL is getting married end of August, so baby will be approx 8 weeks old. OH was supposed to be giving MIL away with his older brother but MIL also wants our baby 'involved' in the wedding as all her other grandkids are, so now OH is walking down the aisle behind them with our baby in his arms!

    Anyway, I'm finding it so hard to find an outfit for the baby! I've seen cute tuxedo style baby vests on Ebay but they start at 3-6 months! Can't find ANYTHING in 0-3 months!! Have any of you seen any 'smart' baby clothes? It will only be for the ceremony and pics then he'll be in his pj's! x
    Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference :)

    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    There is this set from John Lewis Mrs Bryan, but it's a bit pricey at £35.
