    Great, will pop in during the week then :) Not much else to get.

    I'm not sure what to pack for coming home, most seem to say joggies but I don't wear joggies, I'm thinking leggings but perhaps they wouldn't be comfy ? I could pick up joggies I guess if it comes to it.

    I've packed maternity leggings to come home in too. With a tunic top that fitted me up to about 28 weeks, so will hopefully fit me again. If not I'll get hubby to pick up something from home, but I don't have enough maternity clothes to put in the bag now, I'm still wearing them!

    My mum brought me one of these for Christmas. I was a bit doubtful about it when I first saw it. She told me that I would be thankful for it when I am further along in my pregnancy and I must say she was totally right. Its not the most flattering thing but after a hard long day all I want to do it get changed into it. In fact thinking about it maybe I should buy another...:rotfl: She also said it would be helpful with breastfeeding as I will be able to just undo a couple of buttons and flop one out :D

    Hope that helps xxx

    I bought a night shirt similar to that Vicky from primark for £6.
    I don't get on with the primark button nighties I'm afraid. I tried a couple on but they only button down so far and I couldn't get my boobs out!!!
    Nightshirts or pyjama tops for me!!!

    Thank you will have a look at them all and grab a few. I don't know what I'll wear to actually give birth but I think I want a pool for my labour so perhaps be a tankini.. Still think I'm best to have a few nighties too then will bring pj bottoms also as I can't sleep with near legs unless they are totally smoothe for some reason !! Usually I would say I'll make sure eu are smoothe but seeing as labour can happen anytime I can't really guarantee it can I?! Was considering waxing but afraid it will be too painful ATM as I know pregnant can alter how the body reacts...
  • I got some button through nighties from Matalan- £6. A little snug but thinking tummy will go down a bit after. At that price it doesnt matter if they get messy or stetched.
    April £5 a day challenge- £15.05/£150

    I got one for about £7 in the debenhams sale. I'd ideally like a water birth so will wear a bikini top for that.

    Con could you watch the Winter Olympics on tv? I've been watching that in the mornings past couple of days x
