    Well, I'm afraid I've been a bit of a queue jumper (but it is my due date today). Oliver Luke arrived this morning at 5.15 weighing 9lb 1oz. He arrived in a bit of a hurry, so no time for the pool or any pain relief other than gas & air. He's absolutely gorgeous :)

    Huge labour vibes snozberry and Dida - I hope you're not too far behind me!

    OMG! Superb! Congratulations BB! I cannot believe you have queue jumped me and Snoz! We have been through the forums together and then you do this to us.....!!! (only kidding!!!:D)

    Really pleased for you - wow, what a biggy! (and I am soooo jealous of how quick your labour was!!). Have a lovely first day with your new bundle! xx

    Quick update: I think I might make BB's cake instead of the cookies - it seems to be luckier!!!!

    Wow CONGRATULATIONS BigBird!!! So pleased for you :j

    Snozberry and Dida, am willing your babies to get a move on... Good luck to both of you, hope things get going properly today.

    Clearly I need to think about baking those cookies (or maybe BB's cake?!)

    Ooh, good luck Dida.

    urgh, I have a wedding to go to in a month and I can't find anything to wear. Any ideas ladies? Needs to be a size 10/12 and not much more than £20. A lot to ask I know.

    Ladies,

    Anyone reccomend a good but CHEAP nursing bra?????

    Debenhams currently have a sale on. I bought a pack of 2 for £20 and they are super comfy.

    My SIL got married a couple of weeks ago. I found a couple of dresses to try in New Look. This is the one I wore:

    They have loads though and only the heavenly bump ones are a bit pricey.

    I've hardly drunk this pregnancy but have had the odd small glass here and there, and that is bothering me too. I have resolved that no more shall pass my lips now!

    I've also had a little bit here and there (about 50-70ml of wine every couple of weeks and 2 half glasses of bailieys when I was on holiday). My guilty sin was a a glass of champagne at my SIL's wedding which I sipped over 4 hours. My new resolve is not to have any more before the baby is born either! Good Luck.
