Morning ladies

Random tmi question, is it too early at 20 weeks for my boobs to start leaking?! Last few days they've been really itchy, and there are white specs on the inside of my bra and a sort of dry/crusty patch by my right nipple? I was dreaming about my little niece last night and when I woke up my boobs were really prickly feeling Not sure if that's just me being weird though! :rotfl:

Think I must have started to look more pg than tubby as 3 people asked when I was leaving yesterday :rotfl: Counted up and I have 16 weeks left after today, although I have 7 days of holiday and a bank holiday in that time. Seems like a very small number though!

We're off to an NCT nearly new sale tomorrow, anyone been to one before? Do they have maternity clothes? I really need some more summery tops, it was 29°C in my lab yesterday and I felt like I was melting Any tips for getting the best bargains welcome, we've got membership so can get in at the start, planning to arrive 20 mins before in case of a queue. Got a list of the things we still need to look for, hoping we'll be able to get some stuff ticked off

Hope everyone else is well, have a good day!

This baby's never coming out

Although I've had some 'promising signs' according to the m/w. Muffin's head's engaged, bad backache, diarrhoea, nausea. Booked in for sweep next Tuesday but hopefully things will get going of their own accord beforehand. Feel very teary and fed up of the foot that's been stuck under my ribs for the past three days.

Hope you guys are all feeling more cheerful than me

LMM I gave myself a foot massage with some baby lotion and it eased off Hope you managed a nap? It's soo warm.

We had the bedroom windows open I still didn't sleep well though. Watched Fear with Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon in, slept for 3 hours then had to get OH up for work and he was a grumpy !!! and dropped his bowl of cereal and milk on my laptop!!! Have just watched the newest Pirates of The Caribbean film and am now watching Chronicles of Narnia the Dawn Treader while filling in paper work! I lead an exciting life.

LittleMoog, it's perfectly normal chick, mine have been leaking for a few weeks now, you could try breast pads.

Fluff I've followed your not so often posts lately, I do hope your muffin makes an appearance soon x

Fluff sorry to hear that you're feeling a bit down; hope baby makes an appearance really soon for you! Big hugs

LMM I didn't sleep very well last night either, OH was asleep just after nine and I ended up watching Lost for 2 hours! Finally fell asleep but woke up about 3am and it was gone 5am before I fell back to sleep. Struggled to get up for work too! I did have one of my cats with me for company though - if ever I wake up in the night she is straight there and I can't resist fussing her. This leads to lots of rather loud purring and her 'padding' the duvet which alwasy seems to wake my OH up! ooops!

SM hugs to you too, hope you feel better soon.

Mishka good luck for the scan today!

Well, taught my last zumba class last night - I didn't get as emotional as I was expecting to which is a good thing! I actually feel like I have more energy now then at any other point in my pregnancy but I know I have to be sensible and not go too mad so it's better to stop teaching now and look after myself. It's also not easy (or wise!) doing body rolls and certain hip shaking movements at this stage! LOL. Had a lovely woman come up to me at the end of the class and she gave me a maternity support band! i didn't expect that at all! And someone that i haven't seen in ages works with a leading manufacturer of bottles and stuff so he is going to get my a box of goodies! I was quite blown away by how lovely people are being!

Had ordered the car seat and pram adaptors on monday and have now found that they are a fiver cheaper on the Boots website! I'll also get £13 worth of advantage card points if I order them from there so in the process of cancelling the order with the other place. Well, every little bit counts at the minute! :money:

MissMonkeyMoo

yay! just went onto Boots website and ordered the car seat and adaptors with 20% off, did it through Quidco so also got cashback on the purchase and they also had a code for £10 off £100 spend! And I earned £13 in advantage card points! I feel very MSE today!

mishka good luck today. I'm looking forward for my 20 weeks scan...I would've love to have the money to see my little one more often.

Ladies, to you excercise? I'm planning to start swimming and also go to the gym (just to use the exercise bike and perhaps to use the elliptical bike). It's that safe? How often should I go and for how long should I use the bikes?

Nothing important to report here. Still :j as I'm pregnant but a little bit worried about the 20 weeks scan (which will be in August). Just want to here that my little one is safe and OK. Also I'm looking forward to find out the gender .
