Cheeky !!!!!!! Ha. I guess I'm quite sensitve about it, feel like crying at the moment to be honest. It's like noone has ever seen a pregnant perosn before! And I'm scared about just how big i will end up being! Do you have a big bump Snoz? You're due a coupla weeks before me.

I am HUGE Dippy - don't worry I get "OMG you are f**king HUGE" all the time at work - even when I went to Homebase yesterday (in a dress - as my maternity jeans are now too tight - and kill me!) - I got constant comments from the male member of staff who was serving me!:mad: I am seriously running out of clothes - my wardrobe is all over my bedroom floor as i had a trantrum yesterday when I couldn't find my maternity leggings and nothing else fitted me

Oh....if anyone else is interested in reusable nappies - I bought 8 of these this morning for £81 inc delivery - as they are on offer at the moment and also TCB is offering another 7% back and also another 10% off - some lovely designs! http://www.zulily.co.uk/e/charlie-banana-040413.html?pos=4 (edit - TCB has already tracked at £5.46 - so pretty reliable!)

I love the name Orla - reminds me of Orla Kieley and I luuuurve her designs!

I love Orlaidh (Orla) but my OHs cousin's daughter (with me?) is Orlaidh already . People keep suggesting Grace to me but I just don't like it.

ETA: Going to have to take back 3 of the bra's I bought as they're still hurting me. Was wearing a 34E and have gone up to a 36F but I think I'm going to have to go to a 38

I am a big fan of Orla Keily too - but only found her after my daughter was born

As for the being huge thing - another thing people will always feel allowed to comment on :rotfl: My scan yesterday suggested baby is weighing over 9 and a half pound and I am 38 weeks. So at 5ft and (almost) 3 inches - you can guess how big my bump is :eek: It enters the room 5 minutes before me. My boobs have gone from a 34H to a 36 J so you can only imagine what my shadow looks like! A gentleman told me not to sneeze the other day when I was in a queue in Mothercare as he said it scared him :rotfl: I nearly told him I gave birth inhalf an hour with my last one, but he looked worried enough lol and the queue was quite long..... The way I see it, if you were really small people would also comment. You will never win .

H&M maternity leggings have been my saviour since around 20 weeks. I have lived in the 5 pairs I have. As I am still being sick, its been vital I have nothing tight around my waist and these are great as they reach right up to my bra . Lots of long stretchy tops and vests and cardis and that has been my wardrobe.

I love loads of these name that everyone is saying So Cute. DH turned round to me last night and asked if it's a boy, can it have a middle name of Edward after his Grandpa who died last year. He was a lovely man

So we have to be careful about first names as the initials will be _EC so that's any names beginning with F out the window :rotfl: DD1 is ALC so she'll be an alcoholic when she grows up and DD2 is SLC so she's fine :rotfl:

Sucks dippy

I got out a shower last night and nearly cried looking in the mirror. I don't think I've ever felt quite so unattractive. That and my boobs are so huge, so heavy and inclined to hurt when I even look at them.

OH has been in a funny mood with me for the past few days, no idea why but it's getting annoying now.

Names are such a minefield. Likes and dislikes can depend on so many factors. My full first name isn't unusual, but it's not the common spelling of it, so I've spent the past 38 years spelling it for people - and they still get it wrong more often than not. So that's probably the reason why I like names that are spelt exactly how you'd expect. There were 4 girls in my class at school with the same name as me (though I think we managed 3 different spellings), so it doesn't concern me that this baby will probably be at school with several other Olivers.

I hope I didn't offend you Chonorla. You know what, I really like the look of Alfey, if that makes sense. It makes a nice shape when it's written down.

Names can seem odd at first, but they generally grow to fit the person. I was really surprised a few years ago when a friend called her baby boy Douglas, it just seemed like an old man's name. But now he's very definitely a Douglas and I couldn't imagine him any other way.

Just heard from another friend that she had her baby this morning, a little girl called Darcy. That's a pretty name so I just thought I'd throw that one into the mix

I need to stop stuffing myself with chocolate as some of my maternity clothes are starting to get tight now and I don't really want to have to buy a load more. I have some jeans from Next that are big enough, but they are underbump ones and they drive me mad as they just will not stay up! I might have to get some braces for them

For bras, it's worth getting extenders for the back. Mine were getting to be too small, but an extender on the back has sorted them (this baby seems to have taken up residence in my ribs already).

Sorry to hear about your exam dippy. I have one tomorrow morning and am pretty sure I'm going to fail - I just haven't had the energy or motivation to study properly for it in the evenings so I'm going to need a very healthy dose of luck if I'm to pass it

Thats probably what my problem is too - I had Rice Crispies and....half a block of Galaxy for breakfast! (I wouldn't have dreamt of eating chocolate for breakfast before being pregnant:eek:!)

But my theory is that if you are craving something....baby probably *needs* it!:rotfl:

Ah no, i bought a couple of bras like Genie ones but cheaper versions off ebay, they are so comfy! I have gone up 2 cup sizes. But confused as to what size feeding bras to buy.
I feel kinda unattractive sometimes too, it's a funny thing watching your body change so much.

Wonder what's up with yr OH, ask him!!Don't let it fester.
