MoN that's super news from cardiologist will still keep everything crossed for your wee fighter though.

legally great news on your ever growing twins and extending cervix, keep them baking a little longer.

To everyone else I have missed and not mentioned in person I hope you are all well.

Been a bit preoccupied with dd1's hospital / wheelchair appointments to keep up fully but will be back with you all again soon.

Can anybody recommend a good nursing bra in a G cup or above, my boobies are out of control this pregnancy. Gone from 34C to a 34G/GG.

Also I am in agony when I sit, think its pelvic girdle pain but its in my tail bone not my pelvis. Got an hour drive to work, an 8 hour day then an hour drive home. Any top tips? Can hardly walk by time evening comes

Jelly, sounds similar to mine. I called midwife and am getting a referral to physio. I also find sitting on my office chair and wheeling myself backwards around the room rather that getting up and down all the time or standing has helped over the last couple of days. Hugely lazy but I don't care.

MoN that sounds truly horrible. I am glad you have got a supportive partner for everything you are going through this time.

OrangeBlossom2 · 27/06/2013 20:48

Also, I bought a plain black f cup Freya bra in John Lewis, I think they go up to K and look nice (I.e. don't cover half of your body and show through arm holes or necklines).

PseudoBadger · 27/06/2013 20:54

Can you link to that bra Orange?

Flyer747 · 27/06/2013 21:03

Oh MoN he sounds bloody awful, you are best off with him well and truly out of your life. What a rat!

Clapham I travelled Rajasthan (Jaipur, Ajmer, jodhpur, Jaisalmer, udiapur and a few other random places, places) also did the usual Agra, Delhi, Mumbai then down to Goa and finally Kerala. I would love to do Varnasi I've heard great things we just ran out of time. DP and I did Thailand and Vietnam last year and I absolutely loved both, especially Vietnam. Maybe one day we can throw our rucksacks on our backs again and head off with a child in tow, I'm not too sure how that would work though. :-)

Ah John Lewis only sell to ff

Thanks Orange.

Jelly, I've had real trouble with bras. I was wearing a 34H and couldn't stand it! However I d need a bra sometimes and decided to try these in a 36G - they are very comfy IMO.

legallyblond · 27/06/2013 21:33

Great news about the cardiologist MoN!

The best ever nursing bras are from Hotmilk... I can't google and link here (on iPhone) but you will find on google. The only ones that are nice imo! Not sure what sizes they go up to though... I am 32B normally (32C in later bf times, post 9 months or so) and have only ever gone up to 34E, so it's never been an issue for me....

claphammama · 27/06/2013 21:57

Simple. We leave the babies with men and we go together flyer!

I'm afraid I can't join the bra conversation as still managing to fill just a B cup...

ananikifo · 27/06/2013 22:16

Hot milk lingerie is on casabu at the moment if anyone is interested. I haven't looked at it for myself. When should we buy nursing bras? I feel like I'm still growing and have no idea how big I'll end up.

Today we had a leaving party for myself and another colleague (even though I'm just moving to the to room next door and doing some days at a different site!) and one colleague came to lunch with her new baby! He was adorable and I got sooooooo broody!

I got a baby blanket and velvet babygrow as a gift and I am now obsessed with velvet babygrows. Does anyone know where I can buy more, other than vertbaudet? I find them overpriced and I dislike their constant, relentless emails and voucher codes. I have ended up buying other baby clothes (as everyone in the Facebook group knows) but I need more velvet! It's so cuddly and warm.

Natalieand · 27/06/2013 22:18

Seriously is anyone else having stomach issues (except the fact we have a baby inside them lol) everytime I eat regardless of what it is I have to go to the toilet and have an upset stomachs within the hour. I don't have a bug as I'm not feeling unwell as such and haven't got a crampy stomach I just literally get no notice and have to dash. Anyone else?

PseudoBadger · 27/06/2013 22:23

I have several velour baby gros Anan - is that the same thing?

ananikifo · 27/06/2013 22:32

I don't know, pseudo. I've ordered "velour" stuff from vertbaudet and it was just normal cotton but their velvet was fuzzy and thick. I think it may be because they're French and the English descriptions are probably translated. I'm looking for something like this: www.vertbaudet.co.uk/baby-boy-pack-of-2-sleepsuits-green-dark-solid.htm?ProductId=700130078&FiltreCouleur=6719&t=6

thethreeblondies · 27/06/2013 22:36

I've been getting that Natalieand was on the phone to DH earlier and had to hang up on him to race to the loo, explosive to say the least! Sorry guys! Grin

legallyblond · 27/06/2013 22:38

What's casabu Ana?!? Also, 34-36 weeks is good for buying bras, plus buy one or two bigger, v comfy plan brad for when your milk comes in. After thd first week/10 days, you go back to about 36 week size... And reman at that size for another 6 months at least!

legallyblond · 27/06/2013 22:40

And Clapham, I've only just moved up to my 32C bras that I wore at the very tail end of DD breastfeeding (I bf until she was 2 but was working fulltime from when she was one, so they're not nursing bras as I only fed her at night and first/last thing for that final year)... DH thinks they're HUGE though (in comparison....!)

ananikifo · 27/06/2013 22:46

Casabu is the latest company that bounty has sold my email address to. They seem to send daily emails with deals, mostly baby/mum themed. I've only had these emails for a few days. Zulily is similar, but seems better to me, and they've had hot milk as well.

Talking of bounty.... When do we get bounty packs? I got one at booking in and haven't had one since, anyone else?

Natalie to get the second pack you have to sell your soul to the devil and fill out a card with your information. You exchange the card for a bounty pack at boots or superdrug. That pack has a hooded towel, a full-size Simple moisturiser and samples for sudocrem, detergent, and ovaltine, among other things.

ananikifo · 27/06/2013 22:54

Thank you pseudo!

Natalieand · 27/06/2013 22:57

ana how do I get the card with the contract to my soul on it? Xx

ananikifo · 27/06/2013 22:59

My card came from my booking in bounty pack but I'm sure the bounty website will tell you what to do.

GTbaby · 27/06/2013 23:02

Anna what is the towel like? Bounty was a waste of time last year. Best thing was sudacream pot. You can decant cream from big pot into small tester one and keep in your changing bag. I'm sure I've read on MN that sudacream will send you a few pots if you email them??? I've just never got around to it...

natalie I am with you on the tummy issues, better slightly than being constipated though.

Up every hour last night with leg cramps and my tummy muscle tightening. Not across tummy but up and down my side so feeling a tad tender this morning. Needless to say I should be at work now and I not even left the house yet, oops! Looks like a short pay packet for md this month
