Because I gave birth in a local birth centre I didn't get the last bounty packs I would love freebies and vouchers but the most I got was a tiny sudocrem

The community midwife brought mine when I discharged myself before the bounty woman came by. I'll be discharging us both this time too regardless of the circumstances, if I can walk I'm leaving.

Hi there - maybe worth contacting Bounty and telling them, they might be able to send one your way.

I never got a bounty pack last time either, the hospital didn't have any st that time, and to ask the midwife, the midwife told me hers were for home births only, I'd have to make the 25 minute trek back to the hospital to get one if I wanted one! Not overly helpful.

I have just returned home from the most depressing shopping trip ever. How hard is it to find a pretty nightie for my hospital bag?! Everything was beyond !!!!!!! I don't do geriatric or tarty styles!

I was looking at maternity clothes the other day and said to my mum why is it they think that when you're pregnant you would suddenly want to dress like a 60 year old woman! I'm not asking for crop tops and hot pants but at least something that actually looks nice!

I got all mine from topshop online, I bought 12 in maternity thinking it would fit from when I was small but the maxi dress I could only wear when I had like 5 weeks left! And I was big!

I have a skin condition on my arms...try finding matinerty clothes that aren't short sleeve summery tops/dresses even in mid winter.

Not saying its not possible but it limits you off so much!!

Congratulations Saffagal!

Glad the bleeding has stopped PigPen.

Will definitely be expressing again, as my mum lovingly put it I produced enough milk to feed a third world country! So I might as well put it to good use. (And I did actually consider donating to local hospital last time as I had so much in the fridge and freezer!!!)

I was looking for maternity clothes the other day, as a wee treat for myself (it's my birthday in a couple of weeks!) There's jeans, tshirts, leggings, flowery dresses or maxi dresses - I wanted something I could wear out! I'm 5'2" so I'm too short for maxis, by the looks of the stuff I saw in the shops no one under 6' tall gets pregnant. I'm also limited by my bust, I'm an F cup so places like Top Shop won't be any use to me.

My bump has had a massive expansion this week, I've been working all weekend and my trousers have been held on with a elastic band! I was able to button them up no problem last week :rotfl:

Well done Saffa!!!! Glad you and baby Abigail are doing well :j

Well a screaming meltdown throwing of toys (literally!!) a whole box full down the stairs in a fit of hormonal rage seems to set off the bleeding.. good job I don't do it often!

And it hurt.. a lot..
