Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

SOL - oh yes now that would look good....! OK have Googled the underwired bra issue and this is one of the answers:
"of course you can wear underwired bras when you're pregnant - they're not radioactive. The reason the advice is conflicting is because your breast size (as you are finding out) fluctuates a great deal during pregnancy and it is essential that you are properly fitted for a bra, otherwise you will be uncomfortable and your breasts won't be well-supported. With an underwired bra, there's not as much scope for error as with an non-underwired bra. But if you were to get fitted regularly, there's no reason why you couldn't".

So there you go!

Twinkle- my whole belly feels like it is bruised, especially where little arms and legs are jammed into it.
If you are worried phone your mw, you may have just strined it.

Sospl- aren't you wearing the crotchless panties and tassles, I thought that was standard maternity wear.

The only problem with a buggy board is that you can't strap child up so they can't escape.
My DD would be off running around all the time if she wasn't strapped up.
Thats why I was after the buggy pod. If there is any other type toddler seat or solution I am more than welcome to any ideas.

Have already thought of selling DD but Dh is not really open to that idea.

1b3, of course I am wearing the crotchless knickers and tassled bras - why else would I be called sexonlegs! No seriously though, the number of times I would like to actually be wearing nothing, is increasing by the day. Nothing is comfortable!

Emmymummy, thanks for the note re bras. I won't feel too dreadful then!

Feel knackered this afternoon. Also have a bloody sinus headache. Sat here sniffing olbas oil, but all I want is Sudafed and Anadin Extra!

Hi everyone
haven't been on for ages ... internet playing up and just been a bit manic this end. finished nhs antenatal classes yesterday (started well but fizzled a bit towards the end but met some lovely girls) and have NCT class for the following two Saturdays with DH.

Firstly, congrats CD on passing!
Also, MIABT - just read your post about Jack which brought tears to my eyes. I TOTALLY understand (as you know I have Ruby the Jack Russell) and really feel for you and what you and your Mum must be going through. big hugs { }

I am a bit behind so going back to catch up but just wanted to post those comments before I forgot. xx

1becomes3 · 02/02/2007 15:34

You have to love her Dh's "FGS sober up now your a mother"
Brought tears to my eye's.

Hi all

had mw appt yesterday afternoon - went really well. Mw commented on how well I was looking, so very chuffed I love my mw mentioned the stitch-like pain, so she had a good feel of tummy, and put her hand straight on the pain. She told me that more than likely its where bump has been kicking in the same place, and has probably given me a bit of bruise inside. She could actually feel a limb as she said it. Naughty little bump
Measuring 30/31 wks (I'm 30) and I have my prebirth appt in 4 weeks. Fingers crossed for the homebirth.

Did anyone watch Bonkers last night - pmsl at some of the scenes

Ds is better - off his food a little bit, but no more sickness.

Will catch up later - have loads of housework to do......

Sexonslightlypuffylegs · 02/02/2007 16:55

Hi Doghouse and hi Runny. Glad your mw appt went well, and that your ds is on the mend.

Quiet on here now!

Right, off to pick up Becks from preschool. Back later.

EllieKwithabigbump · 02/02/2007 17:03

nutty which support band did you get? i had a look at them but couldn't decide cos there seemed to be 2 different ones

EllieKwithabigbump · 02/02/2007 17:04

neglected to tell you all, i caved in last weekend and let him sort my ladygarden out
did get a ladyshave tho as i wasn't letting him loose with a razor

EllieKwithabigbump · 02/02/2007 17:17

on the underwired bra thing, i was told last time that i shouldn't wear them towards the end as the wire can put pressure on the glands, esp when your milk comes in. I've been wearing them still but find that my bump is so high it squashes the wire up into my norks when i sit down and it hurts, lots! found some non-wired ones in tesco, £3 for two of them (Tesco value range is fab at times ) and they aren't quite as bad as maternity ones, tho i don't have the nickname 'page3 tits' for nothing which might be why i don't find they compromise my shape

EllieKwithabigbump · 02/02/2007 17:19

just realised that makes it sound like i've had a boob job , i haven't, just that by some amazing turn of fate they have not dropped at all after having Matthew, and stayed a cup size bigger than before pg, even after i'd bf for 3 months!

Blimey - taken me an hour to catch up!

Env friendly disps - you might as well use pampers - as while they are more biodegradable than conventional disps - landfill is relatively anaerobic so nothing really decomposes anyway and if you've put them in a nappy sack then really its unlikely to decompose for a very long time! Some env disps are made from recycled materials and sustainable forests which is a bit better. I do have some moltex for in hospital - simply because I refuse to buy pampers or huggies! I also use washable wipes and a washable nappy bag!!! I am a bit of a hardened nappy user and did use them on both my boys when in nappies at the same time and would highly recommend for twins!!! (1B3 passes out!) simply because of the money saved - but can appreciate the washing thing!

EllieK - big hugs xoxoxox

Liath - congrats to your sister xoxoxoxox

Sainsburys due any minute...must go

Apologies for nappy rant!

11weeksandcounting · 02/02/2007 17:33

runnyhabbit · 02/02/2007 19:29

ok, got a non-pregnancy dilemma, and I'd really appreciate some impartial advice.

About 4 years ago, me and my best friend stopped talking. There was no real argument, just kept missing each other when we called. Its like the friendship fizzled out. I was her bridesmaid at her wedding, and we were very close.

A year before this happened, me and dh (he was dp then) went through a very rocky patch. No-one else was involved, but he moved out for a week. We decided to work through it (so glad we did!) but I'm quite a private person, but she (and a few others) wanted to know the details, and couldn't understand why we got back together. More to the point, I didn't think she understood why I didn't want to tell her everything.

We live in the same village, and lots of things have happened , I've got married, had ds, she's now got 2 children etc.

Considering how small the village is, we've never bumped into each other - until yesterday. I didn't actually realise it was her until I'd walked pass (was trying to keep control of ds)

It really got me thinking about how well we got on. But do I try and make contact - and how? Or should I just let it be?

EllieKwithabigbump · 02/02/2007 19:29

oh, just so anyone having a rubbish day can feel better, i passed out this morning, apparently i have low blood pressure and have done right through this pg, but the midwives didn't deem it important to tell me as high blood pressure is much worse! so as well as having to deal with all the questions about stephen at work today, i had to see the midwife and get told not-a-lot before i even got to work
