Anyone else suffering with swollen feet in this weather? I'm a teacher so on my feet all day... I looked down around 2.30pm and couldn't believe the size of my ankles!! Currently soaking them in Epsom salts.

Is anyone else HAIRY?!! I can't keep on top of my bloody legs! hahahahaha

@Emma198 I've got a bit hairy too.... seem to have developed darker hair above my belly button which is a bit gross!

Emma198 · 27/06/2018 21:14

@ND348 I've got loads of fine hair on my belly and some darker ones too. I even got an ingrown hair next to my belly button. Grim!

My husband keeps asking if I'm having a baby or turning in to a bloke 😭😭

A client asked me when I was due earlier, so I must be looking pregnant rather than just fat...

My entire belly resembles a peach... fluffy!! I was tempted to wax the snail trail as that's the annoyingly dark bit but my sister chewed my head off for even thinking it! lol

AnotherOriginalUsername · 29/06/2018 10:04

That's sweet of him Catherineann107 so far all my husband has bought me is industrial quantities of gaviscon and ice cream!

JessicaJ88 · 29/06/2018 10:06

Oh my gosh that is adorable! I just bought myself one :)

AnotherOriginalUsername · 29/06/2018 20:07

I don't have the BMI for this weather 😭😭😭

Emma198 · 30/06/2018 21:37

I've burned my back today out for a picnic 😭😭

It's TOO HOT! Angry

AnotherOriginalUsername · 01/07/2018 12:09

We're on a yellow weather warning here today for storms and flash floods...and it's just starting to rain - hallelujah!!!

How's everyone doing? Is anyone getting breathless? Trying to work out whether it's pregnancy, my asthma, my dodgy heart or all of the above Confused

ReiofHope · 01/07/2018 13:18

@another I've been breathless for a few days because of the pregnancy and the heat. I'm jealous of the storms, it's still 23 degrees up here.

AnotherOriginalUsername · 01/07/2018 15:44

It started about a week ago for me (around when I was in A&E) and coincided with coming down with the cold that was doing the rounds at work. I'm not used to resting and taking it easy Confused

MrsCrumbtious · 01/07/2018 16:50

I’m boiling hot and normally a sun worshiper. Have been sat in the garden with my feet in a bowl of cold water. So tempted to buy a paddling pool!

HungryN · 01/07/2018 17:08

I’ve got mastitis! And I’m not even half way through my pregnancy! Hoping the antibiotics will work quickly!

hammeringinmyhead · 01/07/2018 17:14

I want some rain!

Found out on Tuesday I was right and it's a little boy. Absolutely delighted - didn't have a preference but now I know I can visualise him as a baby and toddler already.

AnotherOriginalUsername · 01/07/2018 17:19

HungryN I didn't even know that was possible Confused

hammeringinmyhead it's worth finding out then? We weren't going to, always said we wouldn't, but we're very quickly changing our mind!!

hammeringinmyhead · 01/07/2018 17:23

I think so. It's kinda cool because friends and family get excited for you all over again. And I knew I wouldn't take it in when I'm drugged, bleeding, holding a newborn and waiting to birth the placenta...

AnotherOriginalUsername · 01/07/2018 19:08

hammeringinmyhead I hadn't thought of it like that 😂 I'm not a huge fan of surprises and I'm sick of looking at white and beige clothes!!

Emma198 · 01/07/2018 20:05

When my sister had her baby she asked her husband what the baby's name was. As if they hadnt chosen it and she'd popped out with a name badge 🤣. We're finding out a week on Thursday.

Sounds sore @HungryN Sad Make sure you're drinking plenty of water in this heat!

My doc has signed me off for a month - combination of my back being bad and the fact I had a meltdown in the car on my drive to work on Friday, so much pressure at the moment and I'm so so shattered I had to pull the car over and sat at the side of the road bawling my eyes out. Not good!
