Morning Beller... dont worry I think it is going to be more and more difficult for all of us now as we get closer.

Well done on the Christmas shopping. I have done none. Had a conversation with my mum about various bits and pieces for DS and she went out at the weekend and bought everything we talked about so now i have to think of fresh ideas from us. Want him to have a stocking of little bits that he can open with us in the morning then maybe one big thing from us then all the rest of the pressies from family when they come round, want to have our own little routine.

good luck mixedmamma! I now find it hard to get to my ironing board through all the plastic bags! Good excuse not to do any ironing though x

anyone any ideas for a new thread title....

Morning all

Beller, if itch is so bad you can't stop scratching mention it to your midwife it can be your liver. Of course it is more likely to be cold/stretching skin/central heating .

MixedMama how about 'aaargh, getting close now'although ten weeks still feels like eternity.

Fruitful, glad your baby is still doing well. Good for you for prioritising sleep and time with children. Placenta and bladder thing sounds eeek.

Amani, feeling for you, wish your handover was more like mine.

Had another really rubbish night. DH coughing every three minutes and me having a blocked nose and snoring so we kept each other from falling asleep properly. And I need to work late tonight, doing a presentation about law and working with your solicitor for young asylum seekers tonight, they are great to hang out with (a few are my clients too) but I won't be home much before ten. Oh well, I can come into work a bit later tomorrow.

Have a good day everyone.

Ladies new thread here

Morning all, hope everyone is feeling better what with sprained ankles and itchiness etc!

MW appointment yesterday was fine - BP has come down so that's a relief Also did some more shopping for the hospital bag - I begrudge paying £30 for a pair of pyjamas (in mothercare - daylight robbery!) or £10 for a pair of completely unsuitable pyjamas (I don't think hot pants are going to quite be me for a while!) so I've bought two pairs of black jogging bottoms for a fiver each, and will get a couple of button up vests on the cheap as well. Also given in and got mattress-like maternity pads etc. Can I also make a real recommendation for the tesco's short and long sleeve v-neck t-shirts - they're a fiver each, in a variety of (rather nice in my mind) colours, and long enough to cover the bump. I wear these all the time as I find the mothercare stuff shrunk in the wash (!) (and was stupidly expensive in the first place) and the Blooming Marvellous stuff is tent-like. I don't like tesco's for food (especially fresh stuff) but they've got some good clothes

I ordered some lilypadz the other day and they arrived yesterday - "tried them on" as it were, and they seem really quite cool - they just stick to you without being sticky... I don't like wearing bras at night, so hopefully this will get me round that - also I find the thought of milk-soaked breast pads rather icky...I'm sure I'll get used to ickiness soon!

Hope everyone is doing well - I'm very envious of the meet-ups, although we're going for a work curry night out tonight which I'm looking forwards to!

My DH (bless him!) has volunteered to do something for Children in Need tomorrow...and his office have decided that they will sponsor him to dress up like a woman (as frilly as possible too!) all day. FYI my DH is big, hairy, and fairly butch! The MD has now said that he'll sponsor him an extra £50 and buy him drinks all night if he goes out on a team night out in the centre of Leeds dressed like that! It would be rude to refuse! The pictures will be amusing anyway!!

Hello ladies - I'm aware that I'm getting WAY behind here but seem to have the attention span of a gnat at the moment. I can't concentrate AT ALL.

Feeling sorry for Amani (the sods! I'm sure yuo're fab), Sabinar (ouch!) and Angechica (hang on in there - it won't last forever). Know people who suffer from SAD too. It's not a joke, I know.

TMI question - is anyone suffering from a dicky tummy? Every couple of days I seem to get a slight tummy upset. I should be glad I don't have constipation I know! Maybe it's this which is making my head all fuzzy. #

Waves to everyone - I am keeping up - I just don't seem to be able to put it into words at the moment.

OH! and something for you lovely ladies to bear in mind about weight. I have spent WEEKS of my pregnancy barely eating 1000 calories a day (half of what you should)and have still put on LOADS more weight than they say you should. I have no idea how. So, I have come to the conclusion that you have very little control over weight during pregnancy and might as well eat whatever you please (as long as blood thingies ar ok, of course). So! tuck in girls!I'm going to, now I can

Sorry the bit about SAD wasn't for Angechica obviously.

Am mystified about maternity pyjamas too. Why are so many of them pale pink and blue? Do the designers know what happens after having a baby?

See how unconcentrated I am - I can't even do one post.....

susie the thread got too big... new one below.
