Go free and walk about in your pants ladies

Just don't what I did earlier and decide to close the curtains just as your neighbour opposite is putting his rubbish out..oopsie!

Ladies check your wedding rings...thanks to all this heat and the water I have been consuming; I have slightly swollen fingers and feet today. Took my eternity ring and engagement ring off but the wedding ring will not budge - I've tried everything and now have a bruised, swollen finger. Hubby saying if we can't get it off in the next day or so, it'll have to be cut off. :-( no!!! Had it on for over 10 years. Fingers crossed I get it off soon.

Poor you I noticed mine getting tight a few days ago and have had it off all week Feel lost without it. Hope it comes off, it may do once your body cools down.

I'm also with you ladies on the walking around with barely any clothes on thing. Only problem is our house is on a busy main road and we haven't got round to putting up a blind in the kitchen, I think passers by sometimes get a right eyeful as they drive past!

Went out for birthday lunch with parents yesterday, they seem to be getting very excited about baby beans arrival which is lovely. DH is taking me out tonight for a meal too, so feeling very spoiled! He also bought me a bottle of perfume

Hope everyone is well and not suffering too much in the heat!

Well I'm officially a boldie! Have a feeling I will be for a while. Still only 8 days till induction day! Ha ha!!

I have had to take my wedding rings off too, managed to get them off one morning, was worried they were going to have to be cut off! Feel kinda of naked without them.

Glad we are in school holidays now, no more rushing in the morning. Although it was dds last day at primary school on weds which I found really sad. They grow up to fast. Glad she is home though as she is a great help with ds he knows I cant chase him round like normal and is being even more mischevious than normal:eek:

Hope all went well for you yesterday Girlzmum, was thinking of you!

No pigpen last few days?

Hope everyone else is ok?

Maternity leggings for me the last 3 days...

My friend said she lived in maternity leggings and longer tops and I didn't see the good side of them until now.

Saves me having to dash to put some trousers on when I need to answer the door or put rubbish in the bin.

I picked up a few pairs off ebay for like £3.

Tidying day today I think. After the cooker and fridge was re organised yesterday in the kitchen I now feel the need to sort the kitchen cupboards out and make space for the bottles and sterliser we've got incase breast feeding doesn't work for me or baby.

Anyone else who knows what they're having worried it's wrong?? I've had 2 scans say 'girl', NHS one at 20+2 and then one this week at 31+2.

Though I don't have a picture of the 20+2 gender scan it looked the same as the 31+2, I definitely didn't see any obvious boy bits, however hubbys friend hasn't helped with telling us they also had 2 scans say girl and they had a boy.

We've not bought anything girly anyway and the nursery is being done neutral. However we decided to tell people after the scan this week and would feel extremely guilty if people spent loads of £££ on girly stuff only for it then not be used.

Before our 20 week scan a lot of people said 'boy' and I had been making myself look at boy clothes etc and had prepared myself to be told boy. However I always had a feeling it was a girl, can't explain it, but it was the same kind of feeling I had of just knowing the pregnancy test was going to say positive.

Between the 20 week scan and this one at 31 weeks again people have been saying 'boy' and had a few people say 'boy' because of the way I am carrying.

Argghhh....shouldn't think soooo much about it, I'll know for sure in just over 8 weeks..

Have a good day all x

cd - the wives tales don't really mean anything, so let them guess and if they ignore what you've been told by the scans and buy you boys clothes then that's their own silly fault

TTC40 - thank you for the list, I've saved it and will definitely help with our first time baby. Although will also be crossing things off the list that I think aren't necessary

Take that list with a pinch of salt....I've just read the first 2 'categories' and 90% of the stuff listed is far from essential. A pillow?! Shoes?! For a newborn baby?!

Edit: Having read the to the bottom, I am guessing it's supposed to cover u[ until about 12 months. Still, the majority of the stuff isn't essential. A baby-bath is totally unnecessary and a fairly large waste of space.

CD - im having a girl this time around and I'm carrying exactly the same as I carried my little boy.

Had a midwife appointment yesterday and I'm measuring 4cm small. MW isnt too concerned due to previous growth scan. Also had protein in my wee so its been sent away but have no other signs of pre eclampsia so the MW was a tad confused lol.

Does anyone else feel slightly mentally unstable?

I have been having the most horrific dreams recently..nothing new for me as I have suffered for years, but they have just suddenly returned with a vengance. Highlights include me choking and not being able to breathe, and being convinced the baby is suffocating/coming too early..not nice

I get little support or sympathy from OH as he is used to my nightime mentalist episodes, but they are making me feel really anxious and low, not to mention knackered as my sleep is being regularly broken.

Feel like I am being a bad mum to DS as well as I have little patience with him at the moment, and snap at him far too much

I am also aware that at his age he is beginning to pick up on vibes, and has been super whingy recently crying for his dummy and his teddy. He's been unsettled at nursery and the childminder.

Feeling a bit rubbish. Any words of wisdom/comfort would be appreciated.
