[gilsbubbles]

running out of space as fast as ever... here's a new link

Thank you kate I have replied (must warn you it's an essay)

Ellie I have wind too and a couple of times today I have farted loudly in quiet places but didn't have chance to stop it. I just look around as if it was someone else

Checking in quickl[y.. Had a quick scan through.. Congratulations gils
spotty
Have had major farts today

Has anyone else's stomach muscles separated yet? It's grossing me out....

Spotty what happens when they do? I've noticed that in the last couple of weeks (really not sure when it started) mine have been rather useless

Well when you tense, say when sitting from laying, there's a gap between them in a line from the middle of your ribs down to your belly button. Dp didn't believe him until I got him to feel!

Weird.... Does anyone find out about all this stuff before they get pregnant? I'm guessing they wouldn't. Why, why does pregnancy have to do all this crazy stuff to me?
Things I knew include bump, sore boobs, back pain, leg cramps, skin and hair stuff, baby kicking (since it just made its presence felt :o) and errr childbirth.... But I think that was about it.... Jeeez I think I better go study

I never would have imagined all the things pregnancy can do! Errr hairy belly, what's all that about?!

And OWWW just got a weird tingly pain in my boobs... Sort of from the sides in towards the nipples damn over sensitive slightly leaky nipples!

Maybe it's growing pains.... Which reminds me I need a new bra.....

Yup, I have a hairy belly.... Slightly concerned my face might be hairy too.... But I try not to look too close in the mirror think about it.... So happy I'm blonde!

checking in [hi!]

i go away for 2 mins and you guys finish a thread and do 4 pages on a new one?!!?

okay.. new query of the day- ive got thrush, not 'oh, thats a tad itchy' as in [run to the toilet because you want to rip your fanjo off at work' kinda thrush, what can i dooooo :'(

hope everyones doing okay, just checking in before i go to bed!!

Spotty hugs to you!
Gils big congrats!
Utopian WTF can they do that???

Just back from pregnancy yoga nice BUT it's not rocking my world am I the only one that thinks this...!

Got a stabbing pain near my belly button - get it quite often ouch anyone else???

27 weeks today gulp!!!

I've had massive farts for weeks - really loud, so unattractive but such a relief

Bubbless I had an attack of similar mega thrush about six weeks ago - Dr prescribed me a weeks supply of tablets (not to be taken by mouth) and cream. But that was here in Germany... Not sure what you would get in the UK. But I highly recommend the Dr!
I was also told to keep using the cream for a week after the symptoms go because it can continue to live down there and then come back when you stop using cream [confued]

Spotty Not sure about the tummy thing, I think it's still all in one piece but will have to investigate when I go to bed. DP finds my hairy belly hilarious, I really wasn't expecting to become so hairy!
I went to find something to wear for my interview tomorrow that maybe didn't make me look as pregnant and ended up in a foul mood when I found out Matalan in my town doesn't stock maternity so couldn't get any bottoms, I had a whole outfit planned on the basis of Matalan stocking maternity. I let my rage out on some wanker who really did deserve it, but probably looked a bit unhinged. Didn't get any clothes, but did find a gorgeous coat in Sainsburys that will probably work not pregnant too so have told myself if I get this job tomorrow I'll buy it.

Anyone thinking of having a 4d scan???

We're thinking about it Bella - DH is really keen as the time between scan at 20 weeks and actually meeting LO seems so long and i think he feels more involved when he can see baby, if that makes sense. I'm keen too but if DH wasn't so hooked on the idea i'm not sure i'd be bothered.Are you having one?

I would quite like one this time but as I've already had five scans and I've got another four booked I don't think dp will agree

I'm tempted just thinking my a bonding perspective - its about £95 where we are, it's just justifying the expense!

Would be nice and nows the right time...hmmm so tempting!

Daydream,if it's Sainsburys just put it on the reward points!

Daydream good luck tomorrow, and hope you get that coat!

Spotty Sorry about your DD.

Gils Congratulations.

COD How high were your iron levels at the start of your pregnancy? I know last time mine started high and as they drop I felt anaemic even though they stayed within "normal" levels. I think the same thing is happening now- despite still taking a daily pregnancy vitamin pill with all the iron I should need.

If you can afford it bella then go for it. I went to a friends and it was amazing.

Anyone else watching One Born and feeling really emotional?! Was sat bouncing on my ball farting away but now feeling a bit

spotty with you on the stomach muscle seperation, i've had it since 13 weeks - if i try to sit up using them my belly protrudes like a big triangle between them - it's not been so noticeable since LO has got bigger but still freaks me out - the advice is not to use your stomach muscles (though i can only imagine how useless they'll be at getting back into shape after , so roll out of bed rather than sit up etc it's very unladylike rolling around like an upturned woodlouse.

bellaboo trying to embrace the pregnancy yoga but it does seem a bit underwhelming i agree

and everyone with the wind issues - oh yes. i'm giving my 90 year old, farts at will, grandmother a run for her money with the regularity and resonance of mine.

barbeasty I don't actually know what they were I'll check notes in a min to see if she wrote them down. I always become anaemic in pregnancy but thought i'd done enough not too this time. It may just be getting back to the early school days, 4ds's and being 27weeks pregnant but this is extreme tiredness.

Hi everyone

Gils congratulations

Spotty sorry to hear your news about your dd.

mydaydream We moved at the start of the year and I was told by the gp that we could not stay at the surgery due to not been in the catchment area any more we moved 10 mins down the road. Have you checked this they might not give you a choice to stay.

27+1 today and I feel like it is going really slowly anyone else feel like this?

Greetings from a very warm Spain. Would love to say im looking forward to coming home, id be lying its been a really lovely holiday.

Anyway...Marking my place ladies, shall catch up properly in next couple of days.
