Pleasantly busy here, isn't it?

I don't own scales either but can use the ones at work. I think they need recalibrating.

Now. I should pop to tescos. It's lovely here. I should walk. But ghj is at work and I'll have to carry the shopping back. And the Braxton hicks have been a bastard recently. Do I have PESH permission to drive (it's less then a mile)

No jeans or trousers, 2 dresses and 5 tops. HWCA kindly described one as 'a fat essex chav top' ( but he had a point) and confirmed that one dress and one top made my boobs look droopy even more so than they are One is quite nice but even for a maternity top needs a smaller size. At least I have something pretty to wear on ny daytrip to Lille next week.

Balls to weighing yourself sinks, I could have cried at the 12 week scan weigh in and will easily weigh what you do when NinjaQueen is born. It'll all come off with breastfeeding and nice summery walks in the park And yes. Drive. Too far with BH and heavy shopping.

God yes to driving Sinks, I can barely manage the 5 minute walk up the road to the CoOp!

sink a friend of mine (who posts on MN sometimes ) put on 5 st with her first. She lost it pretty quickly (although she did work hard at it - I saw her pounding the treadmill!), so it will all be fine.

I still need to try on the rest of my order and work out what is staying.

That's the minimum I figure Bugs. My aim is to get out of the house to, at the very least, walk round the village every day once I've recovered from the birth. It takes about 45 mins to walk a circuit so I hope that will help.

Sore fanjo?! I've booked a sneeze birth dontch know

I've got a sore fanjo already. I'm praying (or whatever a confirmed atheist does) that means bump has decided to engage... The stabby pains yesterday were fun. But at least I can be certain that the birthing ball was a very wise purchase..

I live just by a big park frank - I have big plans for a daily walk in the lovely spring weather. We'll see!

There is a nature reserve in my village It's a bit of a there-and-back-again walk, but I could conceivably walk for AGES :)

HOTB met up with friends yesterday, and had a go with someone's sling (complete with baby) - he was very pleased with it (baby immediately went all dozy on him too, awww) so that's looking encouraging for our general pro-sling current feeling!

Once I have had my baybee my aim is to be showered and dressed by lunchtime. This sometimes was a challenge first time round! A also this time I will remember breastfeeding only burns calories if you don't scoff cake at each feed.

My only aim is to fit in my uniform by the time I go back to work. The trousers may be a challenge; they changed styles and the ones I ordered may have the same size label as my current pair but are at least a size smaller. I fear I will actually have to go on a Proper Diet.

Since we are overssharing about fanjos mine is hurting and I am only 23 week. What is that about? It feels Sore and bruised as if I had squeezed a baby through it already. Ouch. I am walking about feeling like I have been kicked in the groin. I am shit at pregnancy!

Slings are awesome by the way. This time I have got a close caboo for the first few months. Can't wait to have a snoozy girlie on my chest :)

kat is there any chance you may be in need of a big poo? My fanjo hurt this morning but after a big poo it felt a whole lot better.

I think we're all fully in overshare territory. No point beating about the bush is there.

I haven't weighed myself in several weeks - MSB has the scales at work as he and a colleague are having a weight loss competition! - but I'm pretty sure I'm heavier now than just after I dropped. Like Kat points out, yes BF burns calories but it makes you soooooo blardy hungry! No-one told me that! Also sleep deprivation makes you want food to keep you going. However, I certain my clothes are looser since going back to work and I'm doing the shred on most of my days off. :)

Nah, don't think it is poo related, you will be pleased to hear I did one earlier. It is more towards the frontal area.

I've got a sore fanjo and I am only 15 weeks. I had it during my last pregnancy though and it was SPD related.

Bruised feeling fanjo could be your pubic symphasis (if it hurts mostly at the front) or varicose veins perhaps. Have you checked for swelling?

Oh I am a vaginal variscosity. It was like someone had taken a hammer to my clitoris. It was so painful.

I had I mean, not I am. That's just weird!

Oh dear I had better get a mirror out! I do have pelvic girdle pain but that is in the back, in the sacro iliac joints. It could have migrated though. That is better than a varicose vein in the foof at least.

The thing about Mr whippy style ice cream is true. Is due to hygiene risk of listeria from poor machine cleaning. However I have not let the banned food list trouble me too much.

I really really hope this morning brings good news bugs, am rooting for you so much.
