jools - Yup, like everyone else says things started pulling around my waist quite early (around 9 or 10 weeks) as I just got really bloated. Progesterone makes your digestive system sluggish, so you?re not the only one. And don?t talk to me about constipation!
Kalikaroo - great that you got that ?telling boss? milestone out of the way. My (childless, female) boss is a pretty formidable woman who, until another colleague of mine got pg about 18 months ago, had not had a single member of staff pg. Everyone asks me anxiously how she reacted to my news, but she was very sweet ? I think she was ?broken? by my colleague, luckily for me
Brightside - for the scan. Your child is clearly in training for great feats of athleticism ? you must be very proud! Glad you?re not feeling too nervous about the ECG ? and it is good that they are keeping a close eye on your. How lovely to be able to tell everyone at work ? so weird isn?t it? You can?t imagine how everyone can not have noticed when it?s all you can think about!
CE - I?ve suddenly sprouted this week, too. Bought a cute pair of ?boyfriend? jeans in Blooming Marvellous today ? the bump band is sooo comfy! Their tops are cut quite big, though, so I?m sticking to my one-size-too-big t-shirts from Top Shop for now, but I reckon BM tops will be great for the last trimester. A friend did tell me they were the only things that fitted her in her last month. Also their wide-leg black trousers with a ribbon belt are lovely ? I might get some later, but will make do with my cheapie New Look ones for now I think How sweet about your kids asking about the pregnancy . And about you going to Amsterdam. I think we might do a little trip in January as a pre-baby treat, before I get too big to be comfortable.
brettgirl - I think Top Shop maternity trousers might come in a longer length, too. Have you tried their stuff?
Flirty - glad you?re feeling a bit better ? here?s to an easier second trimester. Hope you had a good no-builders-in-the-house day ? look forward to comparing finding-dust-in-every-nook-and-cranny stories when we meet . But about the wedding. Is it in London or would you have to travel? If it?s not far to go you never know, you might be able to do it? Can your friend have a standby in case you can?t?
skiingone - welcome back ? glad your family worries are sorted. A GIRL, how exciting . Just watched the episode of SATC last night when Miranda finds out the baby is a boy and looks horrified ? lol. Hope you?ll be able to meet the London girls in December.
binky - yay for not feeling sick today!
I have that stomach bug that seems to be going round, except my only symptom is bad cramps across the top of my tummy and radiating downwards. Much better when I sit still, but unfortunately have had busy day today (despite being on holiday for the week ? hence the long posts this week ). It?s a bit disconcerting having cramps but I?m sure there?s nothing to worry about [slightly worried emoticon].
