Morning, ladies. Hope everyone's braced for another warm one today.
I now have a fan running through the night in my bedroom and am also damping a spare single sheet with cold water and lying under that. It does seem to cool me down, though DP was away last night and I hardly slept at all, very unsettling when you're used to sleeping with someone else if they suddenly aren't there. I am officially a jet ski widow 
.
Miskate & ladydolly, I am also a OBEM watcher, though not religiously. I find myself getting a bit annoyed sometimes for various reasons, so I give it a miss on cranky days 
.
amy, I've had job horrors the last day or so too. My print company abruptly announced that they are going to not meet the end of August deadline for my project. And even better, they didn't seem to think that that constituted a major problem! 
So am now scrabbling around frantically getting in quotes and turnaround times from various other companies - who all wish to charge through the nose, naturally, as it's now going to be a rush job. Argh! So I totally sympathise with you 
utopian, the first step to making a change is recognising what you think you're doing wrong at the moment 
. I'm sure your weight will even out anyway. You'll probably gain less in the third trimester than the rest of us!
I have been avoiding weighing myself because I was getting a bit obsessive, but have a feeling MW is going to moan at me again over it. However, that potentially means another scan, which will be lovely! I don't think Bean has any growth issues - I can still feel movement pretty regularly most days, even with my anterior placenta - so am trying not to worry about it.
Experienced breastfeeders - did anyone struggle to get it going at all? I'd really like to bf as I personally think it's going to be very important in terms of bonding etc. as well as very convenient. I find it a bit off-putting that so much of the literature about it says it's so difficult though! I appreciate that it's a skill both you and baby need to learn and that it'll probably be uncomfortable for a while, as well as screwing with my sleep patterns. But is it really as difficult as general consensus seems to say it is?
