Maternity tights that come in something other than plain bloody black
And maternity underwear that isn't either hideous, virginal (why would I now want to wear smalls that look like they belong to an eight year old?) or overpriced.
i aske my midwife about peanuts and she said u only cant eat them if u or partner have asthma,hayfever,eczema or are allergic to them. which pees me right off as dp has all first three
Me - hayfever, eczema, psoriasis, bee stings, some antibiotics. DH - hayfever for 6 months of the year, I don't think there's a pollen he doesn't react to! FIL - House dust, hayfever Niece (FIL's granddaughter) - peanuts
So all in all, mw decided that I ought to give up my lifelong toast-and-peanut-butter breakfast habit. I have half a jar left just waiting for when baby is out and weaned!
I'd like free antenatal exercise classes and maternity bras, they have cost me a fortune this week, and £80 to get my name changed on my passport!
Effie - you're not imagining it - recent research suggests that it can actually be more harmful to babe than not to avoid peanuts during pg. Very frustrating. While the advice to avoid peanuts has been in place here, peanut allergies are on the rise, whereas in cultures where they form part of the mother's diet throughout pg they are very, very rare! But they have not changed the official advice yet... I have not bothered avoiding peanuts this time round. I ended up having them by mistake a couple of times last time (stirfry in peanut oil, and an innocuous looking chocolate cake).

Listeria free Brie Peanut butter without the peanuts Drinks that can make you feel slightly tipsy without having actual alcohol in them (for after those hard days at work) also echo the stannah stairlift, but a portable one!
