Oh yes I started wearing sleep bras when I was pg 2 years ago & still am! I now hate the feeling of my boobies being free to roam all night. The one's I'm wearing at the moment are from Primark & come in a two pack. They are basically like soft, seam-free crop tops. I'm not huge in the boob department to really need them (36dd) but I feel more comfy at night in them.

iggy hug for you and mls , sorry you're feeling crappy, wanna share?

GG thats so wrong, you are quite right to be annoyed. Best bet to keep schtum and hope no one saw the post, you'll soon know if they did so prob best not to charge in and say anything to family if you're not ready.

on bras, with ds i was really uncomfortable from early on and especially at night so I bought some sleep bras from mothercare, not very glam but comfy. Got quite a nice bra online but can't remember where from. Mothercare stuff is quite nice if you buy the more expensive stuff, the cheeper ones are very 'cotton utility', the last thing you need when you be feel better about yourself!

iggy hug for you and mls

To answer your question google registered acupuncture in your home town, generally the top three names are the better ones, or go on to your local hospital web site and they should also list ones they recommend, where is your area i could look for you?

Hugs for MLS and Iggy

GracieGirl · 21/07/2009 16:35

Yummy choc brownies MM!

I have messaged the person in question and told them off. Cupcake yes I think you're right only mutual friends should get a comment on their newsfeed and they will all be work colleagues and thats not too bad. I've had no emails about it yet so hopefully no one saw it.

Iggy do you need a group hug? Is it worth looking at your mumsnet local site and maybe asking the question on there?

MummyLovesSadie · 21/07/2009 16:33

Where do you live Iggy? I'm feeling a bit too.

iggypiggy · 21/07/2009 16:27

How would I find someone who does acupuncture and is good near where I live?

I know somewhere that does it - but no idea if they any good...

today

Hi ladies just checking how curly got on and fab news about her bean.

gracie how frustrating of you work colleague, especially someone who should know better, just a thought but I would be surprised if someone did see the message without leaving a comment, I would just pretend it didn't happen and sit tight. And btw I second what barbie says not if but when you switch bras!!!!!!!

As for all the talk of boobs I have went from a C cup to a DD this time, got measured last week and switched to mat bras. Can't say I am too impressed with how they look but I must admit they are bliss for comfort.

Anyway been baking chocolate brownies with DD this afternoon so passing them round for you all to enjoy mmmmmmmmm.

barbie1 · 21/07/2009 16:13

honestly cupcake the first words he says to me when i return to work, is not the old greeting of how was your day babe....its 'let me look/ feel your jubs!'

I have no idea where he got that word from nor as he when i asked...silly silly men.

oh and i would love to read your book, ill proof read it by the pool to see if it will really make a good holiday read

Neeko · 21/07/2009 16:09

Cupcake You're a wealth of tv trivia!

cupcakefairy · 21/07/2009 16:06

Oh no gracie what an insensitive thing for somebody to do! I too would sit tight and pretend it didn't happen (and message the person in question to tell them off!) as barbie says, hardly anyone is on FB during working hours. Also, the way FB is set out now, you have to be friends with both people for the wall post to pop up on the news feed, otherwise they'd only see it if they specifically went to your profile...which is unlikely in those 3 hours.

As for the boob talk, I'm a 34C and quite happy that way! will be very interesting to see what happens! But barbie I concur on the comments about your dh mine is totally obsessed by my boobs too...what is that about??
(Reminds me of the scene in Notting Hill when Julia Roberts asks the same question "Every second person has them" "More than that actually, Meatloaf has a very nice pair." )

Neeko · 21/07/2009 16:03

Barbie swap to unwired I did look and they're nice but I'm not a big internet shopper and my nearest shop is 3 hours away

iggypiggy · 21/07/2009 16:01

gracie how annoying! Hopefully no one will have seen. That would be a nightmare for me too. Althought no-one in RL actually knew when I was...

Neeko · 21/07/2009 16:01

for you Gracie but as for your family, if they saw it they'll understand later when you're able to explain to them. Perhaps you should block that helpful friend from your facebook?

MummyLovesSadie · 21/07/2009 16:00

Just say it was someone who didn't know what she was talking about so you deleted it. Or that she had seen an old email about your last pregnancy & thought you were pregnant again. What did the comment say?

GracieGirl · 21/07/2009 15:57

Just slightly concerned that amongst my friends on Facebook I have 6 cousins, 2 aunts/uncles and quite a few of DH's family, all of whom don't know. Friends I think I can talk round but family can be a bit of a challenge can't they! I think sit tight and pretend it didn't happen.

Barbie I'll be 11 weeks and 5 days on friday.

barbie1 · 21/07/2009 15:55

yep its early in the uk, most people havent finished work yet...you should be fine. However email the twit that sent you the message and demand it doesnt happen again...or get her to write 'whoops wrong gracie!'

GracieGirl · 21/07/2009 15:53

What should I do now? I'm really not ready to be announcing anything yet. I've deleted the comment from my wall. Shall I just keep quiet and hope no one saw it?

barbie1 · 21/07/2009 15:52

gg thats my worse nightmare too, im checking fb all the time, delete it and ignore any other posters....tell them its your cat/dog /goldfish that is pregnant and not you!
Ps how many weeks on fri are you?

barbie1 · 21/07/2009 15:50

swop to unwired from 12 week??? or just swop and wear a clean bra every day from 12 weeks {wink] did you check out hotmilk, some cute things on there...

GracieGirl · 21/07/2009 15:50

Just checked my facebook and some idiot work colleague has just announced my pregnancy for me! shit!! Its a bit hard to hide it from your work colleagues when you work in A&E and I went through there as a patient with my suspected ectopic. People really don't think do they! The comment has been on my wall for 3 hours, I'm really hoping none of my family or friends saw it, it really isn't the way to find out is it! The person who wrote this actually had multiple miscarriages before splitting up with her husband so you'd think she'd know better.

Neeko · 21/07/2009 15:49

How many muddy cuddles have you had today MLS PP on in our house now.

Neeko · 21/07/2009 15:48

Well there you go. I wore non-wired and could have left a pint on the neighbours' doorsteps every morning
Gracie Don't think it matters whether your boobs grow or not. Think you're still supposed to swap from bout 12 weeks.
I think I'll go with trusty Bravissimo again as they have a shop in Glasgow and can do a proper fitting.
Spent about £150 on M&S mat/nursing bras with DD but they weren't very supportive. I hadn't discovered Bravissimo then.
