Heehee, still a big teenybopper at heart, I am going to a Steps concert tonight! Yes I'm nine months pregnant, yes it's outdoors and it's pouring with rain, and yes I am on crutches. But I am going to sing and dance my little heart out! Hubby's coming with me, bless him, his idea of his worst...

So many new ladies joining tri 3 this weekend, just thought I'd start a thread to say welcome to all of you!! Can't believe so many girlies from ttc are finally in the last lap of pregnancy, and can't believe some of my buddies have already popped! It all gets real in this tri!! Welcome...

Right, this is going to sound ridiculous, but all night last night I was dreaming about formula. I think I'm weird. But anyway, because I'm going back to work so soon, I had initially planned to breastfeed exclusively for the first few weeks and then when I went back to work I would breastfeed...

Sad I know, but I got MIL to look out hubby's baby pictures to compare. When we saw LO on the 4D scan, I knew he/she had daddy's lips but couldn't figure out the nose and face cos it didn't look like either of us. When I saw hubby's baby pics I was in shock - he/she is his total double!! I...

We've got our boy's and girl's names sorted, but I'm not sure about our girl's middle name. I can't think of anything that suits as well as my first choice, but DH doesn't like it. My first choice is Alyssa Francesca. Hubby knows a Francesca so doesn't think it sounds right. Other ideas...

Well ladies I'm in the bath, trying to soothe the 'contractions' I've been having most of the day now. It started when I was out shopping this afternoon, by myself, and I started getting some strong braxton hicks. I didn't think much of it, and put it down to the raspberry leaf tea I had last...

As if the sore joints, tired muscles, heartburn and constant tiredness wasn't enough, my morning (all day) sickness has returned :( The last two days I've been nauseous and totally off my food. I'm back to not being able to face food I normally like, and even thinking about food makes me...

Couldn't find any RLT in Morrisons today so just checked online at tesco and holland and barrats. Tesco do Clipper and Holland and Barratt do Health and Heather, both seem reasonably priced. Checked the ingredients and H&H is only 30% raspberry leaf, Clipper is 50%. I assume you want the higher...

Very excited :lol: It's been nearly finished for a while, but been storing loads of stuff in there at the same time so it didn't look quite like a baby's room yet. But here it is, all done! Well, I still need to get the wardrobe put in so I can hang all those wee hangers up properly, and I...

Totally random thread, but I just looked at my notes and realised that baby's head circumference at growth scan yesterday was 305mm. I thought that's odd, it was only 295 at the last one, 10mm seems quite a lot to grow in a week. So I put it into a calculator and that measurement is averaging at...

After such a worrying week, we booked a 4D scan and went this morning. It was the most amazing thing! We have a wee chubster in there! He/She has wee chubby cheeks and even chubby arms. We have an estimated weight of 5lb at 32+5 :D It was the most reassuring thing we could have had, and the...

Well, as of tonight, I am officially high risk :( Was in hospital for the 3rd time in a week and a half with reduced movement (less than 10 movements in 12 hours) and they've referred me to the high risk clinic where I'll be meeting my consultant on Friday. I've always had a hyperactive...

After weeks and weeks of battling with HR regarding my maternity leave (which officially started today!) it looks likely that I'm going to be paid my SMP in a lump sum with 6 weeks @ 90% and 33 weeks at £135 pw. This is obviously just the standard allowance, but I'm due to start work again on a...

After having almost no movement yesterday and today, phoned triage and they wanted me to come in. I hadn't really wanted to cause a fuss cos I had loads of movement on Thursday and thought bubs was just having a wee break from it but hubby persuaded me to go in. Well, we got to triage, and...

I've posted this on Ask a Mum, but thought I'd gather some thoughts here too: Insane question really, but has anyone gone straight back to work after having baby, with family/partner looking after baby? I'm the main breadwinner and have been offered a new job. I'll be getting a pay rise in...

Insane question really, but has anyone gone straight back to work after having baby, with family/partner looking after baby? I'm the main breadwinner and have been offered a new job. I'll be getting a pay rise in August, and it's more long term than I've been able to get ever in the last 5...

... and only been 30 weeks ish at the time? I find it hard to believe that I'd be getting cervix pain this early on from pressure, especially as I know baby is no where near engaged, and is still changing position. Currently breech as far as I can gather, but was having a real squirm last...

...Should we join the circus? :p I took a video last night of bubs kicking a can on my tummy (an empty one might I add, he/she's not that strong!!) cos I find it hilarious! So if you want to humour me, here's the link :D http://youtu.be/MQTIvBNiJKM I discovered this trick last week...

:dance: :dance: :dance: Finally promoted to the champions league of trimesters!! I have to say, it's a bit scary in here, like when you move up to high school and everyone's so much older than you... everyone seems to be announcing plugs going and births and sweeps, it's so scary to think I...
