At 8 weeks post baby I need some to wear to a black tie do I am going to, my question is, do I buy my normal size?

I was 10/12 pre preg, about a 14 now - is it better to go smaller or bigger?

I think bigger or you get that unpleasant bulge where the legs bite in (or so I am told, ahem)

do not go smaller whatever you do...have you ever tried to get these on?

Seriously, you risk a hernia if you go smaller lol

Phew - have gone 14 - DP on his way home with them now. He got me tummy flattener knickers and I really wanted a waist cincher, hope the knickers don't just create hideous overhang

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
