It's definitely what you're used to isn't it? My house is typically around 19 - 20 degrees (when the heating's on in the evening. During the day when I'm moving around doing chores and stuff it's often colder). I couldn't bear it warmer than that. You go to some people's house and it's boiling!

i can't stand a hot house If i'm feeling chilly I'll wear a jumper or grab a blanket! when I could actually do chores lol, Id need it to be cool! and even at night now when it IS cool, I have to have the window open and no covers due to hot sweats with the pregnancy hormones! I wake up soaked some nights!

((hugs)) BB, had never heard of Moxibustion before so just had to google it

I have known since the beginning I will be having an elective this time round (and next time if there is one!)... I am the complete opposite of most of you ladies in that I am more scared about LO trying to make an appearance before the booked date and me having to try natural again

I hope that your bubs turns and you get the birth you want

Our cot's currently against the window - lots of room for it to get moved around but kind of limited if we don't want it against the party wall (and since the lad in the room on the other side of the wall works shifts - we'd rather avoid that)... think I can move things around a bit so it's in the middle of the room - but leaving it at present since the cot's likely going to end up in our room for a while when she outgrows the moses basket anyway.

I'm far too much of a sceptic to believe this kind of thing, but each to their own

A question about post-birth if I may, ladies.

Maternity pads? What are they all about? Can you not just use heavy-duty jamrags?

Fluffnutter- The type of blood that you lose after a baby is erm... not pleasant.. there's lots of clots and "normal" sanitry wear just doesn't "contain" all the contents (yes that is vomit worthy) In fact with dd2 the clots wear soooo big i had to wear 2 pads at a time overlapping so it didnt run down my leg barf

I can well imagine, after my second mc at 13 weeks normal pads were not good enough and I had to use the massive ones from the hospital so I'm guessing after birth it's even heavier.

Right then, I'm trying to get together bits and pieces for my hospital bag, so I'm off to Boots to take advantage of their 3 for 2 offer and buy some maternity pads and some maternity mats for the bed. We've not long had our new bed and we both love it to bits. I'm a bit horrified at the thought of my waters breaking in bed and soaking the mattress!
