Cossie I saw your walking trousers query and did some googling for you. I couldn't find anything specifically for walking in the UK/EU - just "yoga pants" type stuff. However, Next are doing maternity 3/4 length combat style troos which might fit the bill. No point buying from the US lest you get hammered with import tax.

fanny That sounds really horrible. Can't you get your girl-helper to stand in until mater arrives?

Polly I haz not puked since Sunday in the street.

I haz just bought Julian a rattle, some storage hanging off the back of the door, 5 towels (will get more) and decided on a changing cupboard/clothes storage.

PESHgals IKEA are currently doing small off-white hand towels for 29 cents (25p in real money?). I only got 5, am sending jailbait back tomorrow for scores - I think it was one of the second-timers said we'd need billions of them. Can't argue at that price.

ski thanks for that, will take a look, could be just the ticket.

Why are preggos only allowed to do yoga as exercise?????

Not much longer now, FP, although I know it might feel like forever! Seriously, put your feet up and MAKE everyone else run round after you. Have you got anyone helping you during the day and with the child? Could your cramps just be big BHs? I have noticed this time round BHs seem to be a lot more noticable, even earlier on. If I get myself stressed they seem to be a lot stronger too. So the moral of the tale is don't stress - have a slab of Dairy Milk and a glass of vino tinto instead, and get a potty

As for horse, he will be lucky if he survives to this afternoon without being turned into lots of sausages. I have given all 3 acres of him a bath (Ski you were so right about the hocks!) and he managed to freak himslef out about 3 minutes in by putting his leg over his lead rope. Bloody animal! So I untied him to wash the rest of him as I couldn't be doing with him pulling back and snapping bits of baler twine and pissing off every 3 minutes, and let him eat the grass. He then freaked himself out by standing on his lead rope and going 'aaaaaarghhhh! My head is attached to the ground!' Eventually I got the increasingly manic creature washed (but gave up on the idea of trimming him too.) Aristo-buyer will just have to accept that a 6-month pregnant woman is not going to climb ladders to trim her horse's ear hair. So I put him out in the field with the racehorse, Racehorse got straight down to the important job of eating while big horse rolled and rolled then proceed to stand so high up on his back legs I honestly thought he was going to fall over He spent the next 10 minutes alternating between rolling and standing upright, giving me heart attacks whilst really annoying me at the same time as I had just washed all that! In the past when he has been an almightly pain in the arse in the morning he has been fabulous later on, so here's hoping! Either she'll buy him or we'll have a big barbeque at the weekend.

Cossie Because doing exercise will kill your baybee. [rolleyes] You may wear "lounge pants" though and go for a slow stroll as long as you don't overdo it. Whilst looking I saw a fair selection of very ordinary jogging bottoms, a few tank tops - but it's all very yoga inspired...

c.f., Today's thread of stupidity on Pregnancy - I'm pregnant, can I be pregnant in Greece or do all Greek women gestate in Sweden?

I am going through a reverse pregnancy. 31+6 and I am finally blooming - my skin is golden and glowing, I volunteer to go out after 8:30pm and I feel wonderful!

You'll all be very relieved to hear that after much googling I have discovered cause of vomitting. Dried fruit. Yes good ole raisins make a barf. Apparently too much sugar and can irritate your tum tum. Junk food it is then.

Curly is breaststroke banned for preggies then? will I get SPD if I do it? Not very good at FC so otehrwise will need armbands. Or can just float on back I spose.

Doggy paddle honey ... nobody says you need to hang on to your dignity. I do a length of two of breaststroke but I won't push it.

I'm going to the spa tomorrow for a differ's package - yaaaaaay!

Well done on 3 days without puking Ski, maybe you have finally turned a corner?

Boxer I did have to larf at big horse's antics. Hope it goes well this afternoon.

Cos I saw these on Very and fort they looked quite nice.
Look here

ooh they looks quite nice pols.

honey breaststroke only bad if you've already got SPD I fink?

I fort so Cos, and quite cheap too.

I have just taken delivery of my first Hot Milk bra. After initial horror at the sheer size of the thing, I have to say it is quite lovely and fits well, whilst still having bit of room for growth. And best of all, it hoiks my norks back up where they are supposed to be, as opposed to crappy M&S maternity bra. Hoorah!

Glad you are feeling better mooster

Think we decided meeting at 2.30 at bandstand on clapham common on 5/6 for Peshnic. Don't be shy. Further details on t'other place in due course but know the odd one is not familiar with t'other place yet.

Had nice appt with consultant yesterday and heard nice strong hb. Was worried post CVS that I wouldn't hear hb despite growing a big tum tum in the last couple of weeks but I am innately paranoid.

I am losing the will to live. DD woke up several times in the middle of the night last night, and was up at the crack of dawn for good. Now she is tired. She has spent the last hour and a half wailing 'nonononononono' because I won't give her milk in a baby bottle and let her watch her favourite DVD yet again (I am sick of Barney the fucking Dinosaur.) I feel like wailing 'noonononono' a bit myself. She has pooed in her knickers 4 times so far, and she also removed her nappy this morning and wee'ed on OH's side of the bed, so I have to clean the sheets from that too (they were clean on yesterday.) Can anyone at all tell me why I want more of this?

Lucky Pesh-knickers(ho ho)I hope you have a lovely time on Clapham common. But Will you MISS me? [needy emoticon]

So I was hoping someone would say to me yesterday that my air bubbles feeling was definitely the baby. But no...so just me and my farts then.

Fanny poor thing. The situation sounds absolutely grim. Now you have described it in detail, I realise that your door notice was actually a masterful exercise in understatement and restraint. You are amazingly brave and I hope the two weeks pass as smoothly as possible. Sounds like lots of feet-up is the key. I also personally thought the dairy milk and glass of wine advice was right on the money. Anyway, please, complain and vent all you want: you are more than entitled.

Okie I was interested to hear about your big tummy. So is it a bump now? I have a tummy that is rapidly expanding as well (I can still hide it mind you), but I can't shake the feeling that it's mainly fat. Could it still be? It's all very perplexing. But I have put on about 5 pounds already...

boxy umm, so it sounds like toilet training is a trial. Gosh. I am getting more nervous by the second contemplating my poo-filled future...

I'm off to the midwife this evening. Hope it all goes fine. I'm nearly 16 weeks, so I guess she'll have a go at listening to the heartbeat? Dunno what else to expect really.Maybe I should look up the Dutch for urine sample

ski thx for the Ikea tip!

Am you all going to clapham common?????!!!!

ski I got those hand towels this week - but was 49p each here. Bought a few for the changing mat.

honey swimming is good for you! It's only once you have SPD that you should not do anything that involves spreading your hips

fanny. I can only send you wishes for an as painfree and speedy as possible next two weeks.

Today I love poo. Not the shit, but the lovely polly. swoon.

Hope PESH meet is fin

swits I fink your bubbles was too high up for baybee feelings, my first were right down below belly button.

boxy Because on other days she strokes your hair, tells you you're pretty, and gives you a big sloppy hug? (Not sure how you're coping what with naughty horse and naughty daughter on the same day. Sod's Law, innit?)

Thanks for all your support, lovely BESHes. I have got about as much help as it is possible to have. Daughter is farmed out to childcare every day now as I can't even do the littlest thing to look after her. It's costing us a fortune but we knew it would get like this towards the end. I feel rather pathetic that even with only me to look after I'm still so hopeless. Parents arrive next Friday.

Yes, box I think last night's pains must have been Braxton Hicks. I shudder to think what real labour feels like.

Appointment with midwife today was so painful and I really don't know why I went. Yes, it's nice to be told everything is fine with the baby but I can kind of tell that myself by the way he is doing gymnastics on my internal organs. She was running late and I had to wait until 12:20 for an 11:45 appt! She was obviously preoccupied (about to go on her holiday) and couldn't even calculate my date correctly. I cried several times from the pain of getting on/off the bed but she didn't even discuss it with me, just rushed through the usual checks. She was probably absolutely fine but I am very sensitive and grumpy at the moment (did you notice?). I refused the clinic appt next week so she has organised a home visit for me instead, hurrah. (Note: better get someone to tidy up before next Wednesday.)

BESHbaby alert on t'other thread! KimDeal produced at 5am! Huzzah!

Congrats to Kim!

I've been sorting out Julian's stuff - so far 3 washloads. I also bought him a pair of trousers today in the sales. I can't stop shopping for the man. In my defence this is winter clothes in the summer sales so good for after xmas.

I nearly laid a baybee in the supermarket yesterday. I was packing the bag when a lady behind me started sqwaking about something spilled on the floor - I looked down and between my feet was a puddle which looked like tea/blood mix. I must confess I thought my waters had broken. Is it wrong that I touched my gusset?

okie I'm glad you got the thumbs up today - great news!

boxer Has she been yet has she been yet? Your daughter sounds a real delight today - and yet she looks so angelic in your photos - not one poo to be seen. 4? Four? Start feeding her eggs and soldiers ffs!

polly Given that you used to take photos of your norks for comparison when TTC - any chance of you modelling the new Hot Milk for us?

PS I know this sounds pathetic but when I said I hadn't puked since Sunday (and actually meant Monday) - I completely lied - it's just that I do it so frequently I don't even realise anymore. So actually I had puked this morning it's just that I'd already put it to the back of my mind.

Aw, I love you too GhostlyOne. Hurrah for KimDeal, yay!!

Ah poor pukey Ski. Bet you can't wait for baybee to come out just so you can stop puking. So what was the disgusting mess on the floor, if not your waters? Your bowels?

Seeing as you brought up my past menkullism Ski.... No chance! (But it is v pretty for something that feels like scaffolding)

haha noooo, I have no idea what it was, checkout girl thought someone had probably dropped a coffee... but who knows? Honestly my first thought was that a complete stranger was pointing out to me that my waters had broken. All I could think of was "I'm not ready!".

I'm still not ready to have him or have jailbait's favourite pub burn down - so for the time being I'll take the puking.

My hot milk is waiting to go... it's a beautiful looking bra considering it's got no wire and is made for udders.

you menkulist you!

ski hehehe - see I've had a grump on all day due to working far to excessively, I come on here and see your comment about your gusset - seriously lady will you just write a book. It'd be hilarious!

Will catch up with all tomorrow, time for tea now, baby wants fajitas!

Odd one reporting in for duty. I haz not joined ovva place yet.

How the shit am I going to find Clapham Common? Let alone the bandstand ? And which day is it? Last time I was in Clapham was over ten years ago when I went to the Clapham Grand and spent the night drunk and sniffing the face off this lush fella!

Talking of big 'orses! Mine literally dragged me to the field today. Clearly spending time out of field not eating is clearly very distressing!!! Horse also covered itself in poop all over hindquarters, the midges will have a feast on the bits I've missed later!!!

box hope big boy behaved and you have the readies in your mitts!

Scan tmw. V v v v v v v excited but slightly scared that all is not well.
