    When you see this post - do your pelvic floor exercises

    I've removed a few people who have moved on I think, and put a line through the ladies who like us too much to leave [STRIKE]not at all so that I become second on the list![/STRIKE]

    :rotfl: i'm like a bad smell- you'll never get rid of me! :o

    How long has this told us to do our pelvic floor exercises? Goo idea- shame I no longer have a pelvic floor. *crosses legs as sneezes again...* oh suggested that I could get myself some tena lady if i liked as 'they're just like using tampons'.... Didn't even know where to start with that comment :eek:. His biology is as good as his geography! :rotfl:

    It's just started to tell you. Sometimes I cheat on you ladies and post on mumsnet :eek: and they have a thread that keeps popping up that say 'when you see this do you pelvic floor exercises'. Feels like a good reminder!

    Hi Ladies, please can I join in. I am 20 weeks today and I have my scan tomorrow - eek. My due date is 4th Nov.
    My husband is away on business for the scan so my mum is coming with me. I am going to ask them to put the sex in an envelope so we can open it when he comes home.
    I have been feeling little flutters but yesterday I actually felt something stronger - which is really strange but wonderful at the same time.

    How are all of you lovely ladies doing ?

    afm - currently 14+2 today. I thought my energy levels have come back but tiredness has hit me again over the weekend.

    can I ask you ladies something. When did you all show up your bumps? I am currently 14 weeks and no bump yet I just look fat.
    Also I checked my weight over the weekend and only put on 1 kg.
    Is this alrite ?

    So at your 20 week scan when did you say you wanted to know the sex ???? at the start or when the essentials were all checked & ok???????

    With dd2 we had a private gender scan at 18 weeks so already knew but this time funds won't allow as we no longer have a scanning centre locally :(....... I really want to know I don't think DH is too bothered but as I already have two girls and a loft full of girls things I would like some time to prepare if we are team blue.......

    I have a bump now at 17 weeks but popped at approx 14 weeks and we announced then as I could no longer hide the bump..... However this is not my first pregnancy so may have something to do with it !

    I am doing Ok thanks loveactually.

    First time round i didn't have a bump till around 20 weeks or later i think. Don't worry if you don't just means your stomach muscles are doing their job! Just got a bit of a bump this time at almost 16 weeks second time around.

    Hi and welcome Impulse - lovely idea about putting sex in an envelope.

    Different people gain different amounts of weight so I am sure it is fine.

    Tink - it has signs up at my hospital saying to tell them at beginning of scan if you want to know but i am sure they would ask you . We had a private gender scan last time as well as they used to not tell you the sex where I live but have changed it more recently.
