    Yay exciting times! Enjoy your rest hun and make the most of it :) I bet it feels really real now you've finished! I've still got 9 weeks until I finish :( which is ages away lol. I'm so looking forward to it! I've got absolutely loads of tv programmes recorded on our sky+ box which I never...

    Really down - am I harming my baby?

    Oh bless you lovely! So sorry to hear you're feeling crappy. I don't really have much to suggest that your doc hasn't already, but just wanted to say I'm sure your lil man is happy as larry in there and you're not harming him... You get ladies who are in and out of hospital with that hyperemesis...

    Sister wants to sell me a travel cot but will I really need it?

    I've got one, but I intend to use it as a playpen/toy storage box more than a travel cot really. Ours was 25 quid from asda, I think 50 is very steep! Drives you mad people trying to sell you stuff doesn't it, lol... Its kind of people but all these items really add up when you're not sure if...

    Anyone else finding work hard much earlier than they expected?

    I sit at a desk all day too and I'm struggling so hats off to you ladies who are on your feet doing physical work! I'm finding the pressure and stress more difficult than the physical side, I work in a law firm so lots of very urgent work and deadlines. I ended up in tears at my desk last week...

    Should I be feeling baby by now? So many people seem to be but I am not sure?

    I got my first proper kick the day after my 20 week scan so would have been 20+2 I think... Before that I only had the funny little finger-tap things like you describe, and they were few and far between, just once or twice a week, so I didn't think it was baba either! Still plenty of time hun...

    Who is going to be at the birth?

    I definitely want both my mum and OH there... I totally agree its a time in a girls life when she needs her mum if at all possible! As long as you're close of course. My mum is always the person I go to when I'm upset or ill or whatever, even though I'm 25 lol - I can't imagine not having her...

My friends are brill and so excited about the baby but they havent been through it so can't really answer a lot of my questions! This forum is fab though, defo keeps us all sane :) I don't...

    DTD Sorry if TMI

    So sorry you've been going through all this worry hun, I hope you get some much more positive answers today :) I can't believe the way the consultant spoke to you, I'd have been so upset too! No way to treat someone who is already upset at all! Xx

    Pelvic floor exercises.....

    I'm doing them whenever I remember... But that's only about once a week! I think I need to start writing it in my diary or something :o Yes that's right :) my mw told me that you can do a couple when peeing just to check you're doing them right (as it should stop the flow of wee if you are)...

    Such a fat slob!

    I've actually been doing loads in tri 2 as I've felt really well for most of it.. Been working 40 hours a week and doing tea most nights, walking to work and back, swimming and clearing out the spare room on weekends! I don't know where all my energy has come from but just feel I should make the...

    Cervix length question?

    I'm under consultant care because I had some treatment on my cervix after an abnormal smear test back in January (I was actually 3 weeks pregnant at the time but didn't know!). But I've not had any scans or anything on my cervix yet and my consultant appointment isn't until 28 weeks! A bit...

    shopping is a nightmare!

    Totally agree girls! I've been wearing the same 3 outfits cos that's all I have, and I just can't be bothered looking for stuff! Our town is awful for maternity wear, only New Look stocks it and its pretty grim tbh, so impossible to get excited about lol. Ordering online is always an option but...

    Hurt & upset

    We hardly dtd any more either, maybe twice in the whole of tri 2... My OH hasn't come right out and said anything but I can tell he's just not into the idea at all! I'm trying not to take it personally and trying to think its quite sweet that he doesn't want to hurt the baby, but its hard not to...
