It is hideous isn't it! The thing is you need to work out what your lifestyle is, and then you can eliminate lots of choice, and then pick the best of what's left. Things to think about are: 1. Do you live in town or country? If country you probably want something with good suspension. In town...

Yes, me too. I've just posted a pic on the tummy pics thread taken yesterday, and I look at least 5 months pregnant. My tummy feels quite hard too, not squishy like normal bulge would be. Not sure how I'm going to hide this until after my scan on 17 March!

This is my bump at 7+2. I feel huge!

Here they do it at the 6 week check if you have stopped bleeding totally. If you haven't and you are overdue one, you are asked to make an appointment when the bleeding has stopped. Any blood at all on the sample will give a misleading result

This is my third, and over the last week, I've been feeling tiny little flickers and twitches occasionally. I've been convincing myself it must just be early BHs, or a sign that the uterus is stretching, but it does feel very like the movements I felt with 1 and 2! So maybe buddabun's website is...

Cooked prawns and other cooked shellfish are OK (though personally I would still avoid them, as they make me ill even when not pregnant) but smoked salmon is debatable. The gov website says "probably OK but you might wish to avoid to be on the safe side!" The icecream may also be made with raw...

Sorry, not sure about the sizing, so not much good there. Maybe its easier in the slightly smaller sizes to pick things up easily and cheaply. In all seriousness, if you are planning on having more than one child, and you usually like to dress nicely, it is an investment to spend a little money...

There are loads of cheap and nice maternity clothes around, and unless you think the pregnant shape is horrid (which I don't) there's no need to look hideous unless you generally don't care how you look! I went to New Look yesterday, for example, and bought one pair of bootcut jeans (which look...

I had bleeding on and off with my last pregnancy and have had a little this time too. Both times all my care was under an OBGYN and on neither occasion did he do, or even suggest, an internal examination. Both times he did (as you have had) do an u/s scan to make sure baby was OK. Bleeding in...

Lovely pics. If its pink she's going to be gorgeous with those legs, and if blue, I suspect not likely to have any Tom Cruise style hang-ups about women in high heels!

I have a little bump already too, and I'm not quite 7 weeks. This is my fourth pregnancy though. I have started to wear maternity clothes already as none of my pre-pregnancy clothes fit comfortably, even tracksuit bottoms. I know that my dates are right and that the uterus is still tucked in the...

I'm having a burst of energy today after spending the last 3 weeks flat on my back for most of the day, and in bed by 10pm. Which makes me wonder, why I'm surfing here and not catching up with my housework! Also had a massive craving for a cooked breakfast this morning, which I thoroughly...

Thanks! An online friend on another forum said "Look, its a fried egg!" lol

Oooh, I've never done that before. Does this work?

Hi Trixiepaws Yes it was a private scan. I had a bad NHS experience many years ago with my first pregnancy, and since then I've always opted to have all my care privately
