Through my first pregnancy I was bursting with questions and dutifully attended the Parent Craft classes, TENS classes, completed birth plan etc. I've done none of these things this time round, and with baby no.2 due in 9 weeks, I realise I've forgotten everything! Do I NEED a birth plan...

Thanks, will have a look! :D

Help! I'm bridesmaid/witness at my sisiter's wedding just 4 weeks after my due date, and as I'll still have a bump, I'm looking for suitable maternity wear. I'd rather wear a dress that shows off my bump, than a massive suit that makes me look even bigger. But everything seems to be in black...

Give it a good airing before use! I remember how smelly my inflatable bath was (new plastic). But looks good.

My daughter joined the swim school at 20mnths, and they use 'muscles' rather than arm bands. They're polystyrene disks that you put your arm through (like arm bands). She wears 3 on each arm, the idea being that as she progresses she'll go down to 2 per arm. She can happily paddle from one side...

I've been browsing these forums for weeks, and only just realised what this thread is about! Until now I thought the answer to "who's having what sex" was "NONE", and "NOT LIKELY TO HAVE ANY IN THE NEAR FUTURE" :rotfl: Don't know pink or blue yet. Hope to find out on 2nd Nov (scan).

Seems I've been naive about nursery waiting lists. I've just realised my daughter would benefit from going now, but the nursery we like say there's a chance she may get in Sept 2007. :shock: It seems 12mnths+ waiting is the norm in my area. So if you wanted to put your baby in at 3months, by...

Hang in there! It's Friday. You can sleep all weekend. My nausea and headaches have stepped up a gear over the past few days, and my 2yr old has been waking in the night. My house is a pig sty, my poor husband is doing everything he can to help, and I just wish I could feel better soon. I...

Got mine in John Lewis. Had to cut to correct width, but v. easy to cut.

Hi. I was unsure about posting, but will go ahead anyway. I had a missed mc last Sept. I was 20wks, but it seems our son died around 17 weeks. He would have been our 2nd child and I was devastated. I had an induced labour, we met our little boy, and in the weeks to come we quietly scattered...

DH snuggled in last night and whispered "is there anything I can do to make you feel better?" :twisted: . He seemed alittle disappointed :shock: when I piped up "ooh, a glass of OJ and a couple of digestive bisuits would be lovely please". :sleep: Don't think it's what he had in mind.

Congratulations on your pregnancy, made all the more special by your long wait. And enjoy your 2nd trimester! It's sooo much better than the 1st. See you there in a couple of weeks! :wave: Sharon x.

Porridge is full of oats and releases energy slowly, so should keep your tummy happy through the night. If you've never tried it, you can buy ready made from the cereal aisle, and just add milk. Try with warm milk before bed. I prefer unsweetened. Are we allowed honey? If so, you could...

I gave away jars of my beloved brazil nuts and walnuts, but I've just read it's only peanuts that should be avoided. Fantastic! I'm off to Tescos. Strange how tastes change each pregnancy. Can't believe I've GONE OFF CHOCOLATE!!!! :shock: When I've struggled to contain my choccie cravings in...

Hello, can I join please. I'm due 15th March 2007 (tbc at 13wk scan). Thanks, Sharon.
