Sorry this is just a moan, but I am so fed up with my mum and sister making comments about me being fat,looking like a frump and generally just being huge! Seriously, why do they feel the need to comment? I wouldnt mind but I know im not that big. Everyone else comments on how neat my bump is...

So for the past 8 weeks or so I've had bags of energy and felt fairly normal. However the past couple of days I've been really tired again. Not as bad as in tri 1 and not really sleepy tired, just physically tired if that makes sense? Thank goodness I finish work on Friday! Anybody else...

Sorry nothing much to do with pregnancy, but I need to vent! So I came home from work at 10pm on Monday night, dumped my handbag on the kitchen table and went to chat to DD and OH. About half an hour later I remembered my DD had to take money to school the next day to pay for her school trip...

So we have been really struggling for a boys name and the only name OH,DD and I all agree on at the moment is Ferris. Im not sure our families are going to like it though and would love to hear some honest opinions about what people think, before we fully decide on it. Any feedback...

So far I seem to have escaped the dreaded hormonal mood swings during this pregnancy and if anything I have been happier than ever. But Im just sitting reading through bellarivans and kellymumtobes labour threads and burst into tears! I think its because they are two of the first peoples...

I'm totally gutted, cause I just found a varicose vein behind my knee. Now I kind of expected this as I know they are genetic and my mum has really bad ones, but I really hoped I wouldnt get any. To be honest I dont know why its bothering me so much. Im nearly 35 and have very pale skin, so...

Just wondering if everyone is taking multi vitamins? I havent been because I eat healthily,get plenty fresh air and exercise and generally keep very healthy. However im just back from an appointment with my midwife where I got a Lecture about the importance of taking them and how there is an...

So now that im in tri 3 I decided its time I get myself a ticker! Not sure why, but up until now the idea of having one kind of scared me,stupid I know,lol! Nice to have it there now, although I seem to have copied some extra text, but hey ho, never mind! Pointless post, but this seems...

Hi ladies, So im 27 weeks today which I think means I get to join you all in tri 3! So excited to be here where all the action is,lol! I really cant believe how quickly this pregnancy is going, think I might start freaking out soon!

Hi just wondering if anyone owns or has tried out the mutsy 4 rider pram. I love the look of it and some of the colours are gorgeous but have so far only seen them online.

So I have been unable to sleep for the past two nights due to my wisdom tooth being really swollen and painful. Can only take paracetamol and it's not helping at all. I've tried just about every natural remedy I can find but the only thing that has helped at all is an ice pack! Given in and now...

Ok, sorry cause this is probably going to be a long post, but I need a rant and would like to know if others think im being unreasonable. I had my 20 week scan yesterday morning which I told my work about weeks ago. I even changed my shift so that I was working a back shift (starting at half 1)...

I posted this on tri 2 but didnt really get any replies, so guessing not many people have experience of it. I had an episiotomy when giving birth to my daughter 11 years ago, and was wondering if anyone could tell me if this will effect me giving birth naturally this time around. Any advice...

This will be my second labour and with my first I got an episiotomy. I was just wondering if anyone else has experience of this and did it affect your birthing experience second time round? Any advice/ reassurance would be appreciated,thanks.

Just wondering if everyone is buying a steriliser before lo is born. I plan on breast feeding so shouldnt need one until later on, but im not sure if i should buy one anyway, in case for some reason i cant breast feed. They just seem so expensive!

Just wanted to recommend m&s maternity bras. I'd tried a few different places and none of the bras i tried on were comfy or flattering. Just bought these and they are really comfy, give a nice shape and at 2 for £28 are a pretty decent buy! Good ol' m&s!

Probably a pointless post, but just back from my 16 week appointment with my midwife and I got to hear my lo's heartbeat for the first time! Music to my ears and has put huge big grin on my face. Cant wait or my 20 week scan now!

Just wondering when you find out if you are high or low risk, is it following blood tests at 12 weeks or later on? Im sure the midwife probably told me, but i felt bombarded with information and seem to have forgotten most of it,lol!

Sorry just on for a moan! Im 14w 3d and still feeling nauseous all the time and being sick every night! I really thought it would have eased off by now,but no such luck. Sorry for moaning, im just starting to get really fed up with it and want to feel normal again! Anyone else still feeling like...

Hi everyone, i just wondered if any of you second time mums started getting a bump quicker with your second pregnancy than you did with your first. Im only 13w and 1 day and im sure im already starting to show, but with my first pregnancy i didnt show until i was about 20 weeks.
