Bless you pigpen. I am bigger but then I'm 37 weeks! But that is an impressive bump! Maybe you won't get much bigger and the baby will just fill the space that's there?

no chance it is rock hard as it is.. I'm going to be a whale again... no wonder I cant walk

Hello all! Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
That is a good bump you have there pigpen. On the upside people will know you are definitely pregnant. I've lost count of the amount of times I've had to 'guard' my bump from trollies at the supermarket or people just barging into me. My bump is small but rock hard like yours.
Geared up for what will hopefully be my last week of being pregnant. DD1 & 2 are out at work today, OH playing cricket so I'm trying to get on top of housework then go and do a big shop. What's the betting I'll end up doing the same next Saturday!! I must be nesting, I've even colour coded the towels!!
Take care all. XXX

Oh no, people still try to kill me with trolleys and rudeness... even though I have crutches as well.. they don't care basically and are just ignorant.. it really annoys me.

Oh I know what you mean, I've just been to t£scos!!! Although people still barge into and past me because I'm so slow they give me pitying looks as they do it as I'm so ginormous! How considerate of them! 2 days til OH goes away...... Really need to get this baby out before then!!!!

Been feeling soo tired this morning but went for a walk and got myself a lucozade and a sausage roll from birds.. mmm . Lucozades kicked in and I feel so much better.

As much as I am looking forward to OH coming home I know he is going to annoy the hell out of me tonight...I still remember last years.....May the Forth be with you all is all I am going to hear all night

Just thought I would let you all know that mamas and papas have a big sale on all there maternity wear, I went there last night. All current range stuff is 30% off and all clearance stuff is 2 items for £10 which is brill!

They didn't have a great deal of clearance stuff in my local shop but I did manage to get 2 pairs of jeans for £10! I got one with the over-the-bump bit and one with the stretchy side panels.

Also, is anyone else finding that maternity stuff comes up massive? I tried on my usual size (16) and they were literally hanging off me! I've found this in a few shops now. I did think it was just cos my bump wasn't big enough but now at almost 27 weeks I'm thinking it can't be that.

I'm hoping that my bum has shrunk, I needed to lose some weight there anyway! :-D

Hope everyone's well and enjoying the long weekend

Maternity stuff definitely comes up big, particularly in Mamas and Papas. It's vanity sizing to make us feel better about being enormous

I lived in my Mamas and Papas jeans - they're the best.

I avoid supermarkets at all costs at weekends! It took all my efforts not to end up with a conviction for assault, and that's before I was pregnant!

Don't say that.. my M&P trousers are size 16 and the only ones I have that fit!

wonder what offers they have online..

Yeah I've gone up a size too - hoping that the weight will just fall off later... Thanks for the m &p tip off, I'm going to call in at the Huddersfield outlet this week to see if there's anything good to be had.:)
