Wow! There's the proof then ;) I'm ambidextrous and hubby is right handed, although hubby has decided that I can't be ambidextrous because I don't write with my left hand as well. I guess all the psychological studies I took when I was doing my degree don't count then, according to him :p xx

My bump has stopped growing apparently (just based on fundal height, it feels much bigger I think) but baby is still a healthy size. You might find you get some rapid growth near the end xx

I spoke to the consultant about this, I was a wee bit concerned that nothing was happening in the nipple region but she said it's perfectly normal and some women don't get it until bubs is actually born xx

Read an interesting thing today (fantastic baby development book I found in the library!!) that whether or not the baby is left or right handed is determined in the womb, and babies usually favour the side that they will be! So my bubs always prefers my right side, so chances are it will be...

I got my car valeted this week so we can practice fitting the car seat. TBH I'll prob just leave it there once I'm done. I'm the same as you FBE, two false starts got me worried! xx

Yeah there's clary sage in my Radox 'muscle soak' bubble bath so I guessed it was good for muscles and ligaments and stuff, right now a bath is the only thing that helps mxy spd x

Still no leakage here coco, I guess everyone's just different xx

I put one nappy in my bag, and a handypack in baby's bag, but if you don't have enough room then just put a couple in your bag and make sure hubby knows where they are so he can come back for more if you're staying in longer xx

Or more likely for me (being as clumsy as I am) I'd bounce right off the trampoline!! I think that would be considered an extreme sport for me just now :p xx

Just paracetamol but the gp said I could get codeine if I needed it, I was tempted but decided to turn it down for the reasons above. I've had a few people raise a sceptical eyebrow and not really believed I was in so much pain from early on, including my own mother!! I think they probably...

Congrats hon, well done! Can't wait to see pics xx

Mines started at 14 weeks if I remember correctly, I started off with just hip and coccyx pain but then it developed into full blow hip, coccyx, pubic bone, upper thighs, inner thighs, lower back and now because of the way I'm having to adjust myself I'm starting to get upper back pain too :( I...

I'm going to go back to the physio as soon as I can but I'm quite nervous they'll tell me a wheelchair's the next step. The crutches are awkward enough as it is! I'm just hoping to hold out til bubs is here and deal with the pain for the next few weeks. The wee one will be worth it all and...

You're right mrswarner, it is all herbs and potions, the chances of any of them working are slim to none, but if that's what makes you cope a little bit better then I say go for it! The raspberry leaf is something your hubby can read up on, it's really good for preparing the uterus for labour...

I just bought nursing bras as opposed to maternity bras, two birds one stone! Will need to get remeasured after bubs comes but still hoping they'll do :)
