Phew, have finally managed to catch up on most of what I missed over the last two weeks - 20 pages! Lovely bump photos. I will try to post some of mine a bit later.
Thanks to everyone who responded about how much weight they've gained. I know everyone is different, but it helps to be able to compare. I've held steady with my 30-lb weight gain since then, and my MW hasn't seemed concerned at all. Knackered, I think I might take your advice and stop weighing myself as it's not helping. I'm hoping to be able to lose most of this within nine months, though, as we're currently planning to start TTC#2 at that stage, but we'll see! NoToast, I also liked your method of dividing our total weight by two. My baby and I now each weigh six stone! 
Loved the sling chat - I bought a Moby wrap (which was not influenced at all by *Sasamaxx's lovely man video
), which I'm planning to use quite a lot whilst he's a newborn, and a friend gave us her Snugli carrier, which should be good when he's a bit bigger.
Also loved the chat about labour and birth. I'm just starting to work on my birth plan. I've also considered a home birth, but am leaning towards a waterbirth in a home-from-home suite in hospital. I would really like to do this as naturally as possible, but am a little nervous as it's my first, so I think I'll feel a little more comfortable being in hospital. I am also very opposed to being induced unless absolutely necessary. Kara, I'll also be saying no to episiotomy, epidural and a managed third stage, and I'm also wanting to labour at home as long as possible before going to hospital. I want an active birth and will definitely not be labouring on my back!
As for nappies, I really like the idea of reusable nappies but not necessarily the practicality. With reusables, I?m worried about constant leaks (especially with a boy) and the constant presence of a sanitising bucket full of soaking dirty nappies somewhere in our very small house (it would likely have to be in our tiny only bathroom). We also don?t have a tumble dryer, and will be moving to a country where a nappy service wouldn?t be possible when he is only nine months old. Plus most people I know who use reusables also use disposables quite a lot when out and about, etc. We?ve been given a lot of newborn size disposable nappies by friends who bought more than they were able to use, so I will be using those at least to start with. I?m not sure that the investment in reusables would pay off in our case. Anyone else struggling with this decision?
Moomin, congratulations again! I hope Florence is continuing to do well. It?s great that you are continuing to express. Thanks so much for sharing your birth story.
Mummynumber2, congratulations on your marriage! I hope your wedding was everything you wanted it to be.
Nurse, it must be hard to be on your own right now?sending you very un-MN hugs. I?m sure you will find the strength you need to get through this and be a fantastic mum to your LO.
