Oh Claree, I am honestly extremely jealous right now!! I so wanted to go away but with dd having her Sats and my heart condition there was no way it was going to happen for us. But are booking up for some where lovely for beginning of next year for my birthday! Ages away but still better than nothing, cant believe its been two years since our last abroad holiday!

From 32 weeks Baleb, I just get it from holland and Barretts, I won't lie its not the best tasting but worth a shot imo! They do tablets s well but if I take any more ill rattle when I walk! It's all on the supplement list on the due date list! Hope that helps

I'm very jealous Claree Where are you staying? We went to Garda for our honeymoon - 9 months aftet the wedding and by which time I was 5 months prdgnant with DS. It's the most beautiful place and I'd love to go back. Hope you have a brilliant time.

I got my raspberry leaf tea from Amazon. A pack of 5 boxes which should see me to the end of this pregnancy. I put a squirt of honey in mine which I find makes it a lot more palatable.

Sirmione.

Garda is such a default holiday for my family, I've been to loads of places around the south of the lake so it's part of the reason I'm comfortable with public transport, because I know the place names.

Peschiera is my favourite but accomodation is so much more expensive there - same with Desenzano - so Sirmione is just gonna have to do

I was told by my NCT leader not to drink raspberry leaf tea until at least 37 weeks - as it can bring on early labour :eek:

Needless to say I am not drinking it at all yet as I want to be late!!!!:D

I am also jealous of anyone going on holiday - would love to go to Lake Garda Claree - I would ask that you packed me in your case but I guess there will be 2 of us by the time you go.....!

Only taking hand luggage might be an issue as well :rotfl:

Checked with my travel insurance and they'll still cover me as long as the doctor's not told me not to travel. Trying to haggle with the campsite at the moment 'cause it's so last minute - it's already really cheap but if you don't ask!

I was told the same by the midwife - and especially don't take it AT ALL if you have had a premature baby, or fast labour before or a history of breast/ovarian cancer in the family. Also they said not to take it if you have really strong Braxton Hicks. I won't be touching the stuff - I need baby to stay put too seen as I have the new kitchen being delivered 8 days before my due date!!

Glad you booked your trip Claree! I wouldn't have survived this pregancy without my week in the sun in April! :rotfl:

Oh and on the drink discussion - I didn't really fancy anything either and didn't touch a drop until 28 weeks, but in the last wee while I have had one small shandy (like a quarter beer, 3 quarters lemonade) a few sips of champagne at a birthday party and a teeny tiny glass of white wine. Not bad I don't think. My Mum said she used to have a cider shandy most nights over the summer when she was having me and I turned out fine! Lol! I think most of our generation were born to mothers who had the odd tipple...

:-O really? My mum had breast cancer a couple of years back. If that's the case I will defo be steering clear!
