Right tantrum thrower is back...I've just had a bloody asthma attack. :-( Not had one in years. I still feel breathless and shakey. Not breathless as in I can't breath just that it's very difficult to - a concious effort is needed if that makes sense. I feel rotten. I can't cope with this flaring up and heart palpitations. I've just had a big cry on the sofa, which has done nothing to help me catch my breath. Doh.

the underbump clothes look a bit uncomfy. are they though? have to try my new jeans this week as the band over the tummy felt good.

RJH/Sexymouse I had the same problems! My maternity clothes started being tight at about 26/27 weeks - not all over, just where the bump band met the trouser/jean seam and it would dig in! It was really annoying, but my Mum cut stuff out and sewed in a diff band so that I can still wear them. The bump bands make me itch too but under bump stuff is not always comfy! Lol, oh the joys of it all! I am living in leggings at the moment!

AMC the lampshade is awesome! We need one for the front room, I wonder if OH will let me buy it and hang it up in there!:D

Afternoon ladies
We had our scan earlier, and all is fine. Unfortunately Beanie was being awkward, so photo no good, they're looking straight on and look a bit Skeletor-esque! Creepy! Bit upset that we didn't get to see the profile at all, most of what we saw was back of head and spine! Glad all measurements normal though held on and didn't find out what we're having, so we're still team yellow

Congratulations on your scan LittleMoog - glad all is well with Beanie.

My over bump maternity jeans are now under bump maternity jeans cos the bump part doesn't stretch now. I have some under bump ones but because I'm so hippy and they don't come up that high I end up with builders bum!!!

Re maternity tops - well lol. Most apart from my h and m one don't even reach over my bump. They all ride up. So I have over bump trousers below bump and over bump tips halfway up. It's a really attractive look!!!

Happy belated birthday SM.

Glad scan went well LM

Hugs Twinklie- massive hugs, I hope you don't have another attack

Aida- I am also terrified of labour. I had an emergency section with DD and didn't really labour much at all (very infrequent contractions post induction) and feel like a first timer. I have been told I can have an elective section at 39 weeks, at the moment still hoping for VBAC, but depends how much I work myself up before then

Kitten- I'm sure you won't resent your little girl but I completely understand your reaction and im glad you have a good support network,

Last week at work this week, only 3 days to go. Then nans funeral Friday, then nothing planned which I am really worried about, hope that my mind doesn't go into overdrive.

Can I ask your opinions? I;m not sure if its me or an actual issue but I have a bit of a tense (at times) relationship with my mum. Purely because of the way she can be a bit spiteful about people and slag people off completely out of the blue and usually out of contaxt too. The wort time we fell out was when I was pregnant with DD and we got lost on a trip to London to see Take That. She sulked and acted like a petulant child, made me feel awful for getting lost (after following a policemans instructions) and made me cry/angry. It took about 6 weeks for me to speak to her again after this, my dad was also really cross with her and DH hasn't ever forgiven her for it, so I know on that occasion I wasn't in the wrong.

As you prob remember my nan died last weekend. My nan and grandad have always had a very close relationship with my cousins, my youngest aunties children. I think mainly because my aunt was very young when he had them and also due to them being at nan and grandads a lot. This led to some ill-feeling as nan and grandad appeared to favour them, basically spoke about them more than any other grandchildren. Mum wasn't happy about this and has made several snidey comments about it in the past. We were looking at pics of nan on Sunday and some came up of my cousins and mum made a comment about how many photo's there were of them, basically begrudging looking at these photos. My dad has taken nan and grandad shopping every week for the last couple of years, and mum has said several times his brothers and sisters (he is one of 7) should be helping, which is fair enough. My dad took my grandad shopping this week and mum phoned me specifically to moan about it and say she needs to have a word with my dad.
She has also said that she doesn't want me to wear make up to the funeral on Friday, to me that would be disrespectful and not making an effort for my nan.
She also keeps talking about the funeral even though I have asked her not to as I am finding it upsetting, she apologises when she makes me cry but then tells me I need to focus on the baby- which I am trying to do.
I don't know if I am angry with her because I feel she is being quite disrespectufl and unfair at the moment, or I'm angry that nan has gone or just hormonal but I can feel myself getting ready to explode at her, which I really don't want to do, it's not fair on my dad.

I have even arranged that we can park at the wake venue which is not normally allowed and said we could take grandad as he is quite feeble and not really going to be able to walk too far, this was met with indifference. Am i going mad?

Sorry to run on and thanks if you got to the end of the epic post! Can't talk to DH as things are bad between them anyway and I don't want to add fuel to his fire.

Hope everyone else is OK xx

Forgot to say hugs Rebekah- if you need a section in the end and its planned/ not emergency then recovery time is much better, hope MIL hasn't raised your blood pressure too much today

this thread is so busy on a week day.

had a bit of nausea today like last monday, rather strange but feeling ok now, constant hunger is rather annoying lol i am running out of things to eat

re underbump trousers- i got 2 pairs of underbump trousers for work they were not uncomfortable you just needed to make sure your mat top was long enough to cover any belly.

now at 36 weeks i am wearing maxi dresses most days to keep cool with a little cardi as feel quite hot most of the time. luckily all of these maxi dresses are empire line and not actually mat clothes.

OH has made chilli con carni so off to eat
