Ooo enjoy Lynne. I have sneezed twice today and feel like I have pulled muscles on my right and left side lol so I must be having a stretching spurt. Xx

 

[3lilmonsters]

Becky I still have morning sickness! I gag every morning for about 5 min touch wood I've been ok through the day and not needed my antisickness but I have been feeling really drained xx

 

[Blanco]

Oh no... Why can't we have smoked salmon?????????????????

 

[3lilmonsters]

Think it's if u eat it raw hun x

 

[Gillyboos]

Oh no... Why can't we have smoked salmon?????????????????

I've eaten it. NHS website says that some countries advise you don't eat things like chorizo, parma ham and smoked salmon but UK guidelines don't advise against it. Love smoked salmon and avocado.

I've still eaten smoked salmon. It's fine on NHS site. Just limit tuna/oily fish and avoid shark, swordfish etc. x

great news about the smoked salmon, I love it! would still like some pate though, probably just because I can't have it sickness is all over with for me (fingers crossed!)
my work stuff and jeans were getting tight weeks ago, I seem to be huge and people keep saying am I sure it's not twins or have they got the dates right! matenrity stuff is soooooo much comfier! I think it's probably partly because my whole wardrobe is size 6-8 and tight fitting so any slight bump has shown - I was so bloated early on that my work trousers were too tight at 4 weeks!!!!! the bloat never went down and has just turned into bump! I wear a fitted shirt for work (uniform) and have had to go up 2 sizes 2 weeks ago as I couldn't do the buttons up! lol Some people are saying 'it's because your so small the baby has nowhere to go but out!' When I wear mat jeans and a vest top & cardi out of work there is no disguising it now, and it looks like a definite bump and not just fat, I suppose I should be grateful for that!

As for work, I also work with children, a little younger than the rest of you though with under 5's as I am a day nursery manager, at least I will have childcare sorted!

Aw nice that you're making friends with other mummies to be Lynne!! Hope I meet some at pregnancy yoga when I start next week.
I'm having a tearful day today, no idea why! Xxx

 

[pink79]

I wish there was something like yoga or aquanatal near me, we don't have anything

 

[naomi88]

Aw that's a shame... I didn't think there was anything near me either but found some stuff on dear old google!

Lots of stretching pains today... Only minor but always make me worry! Although I also worry when I feel completely fine! Xxx

 

[MrsPod]

We have aquanatal but nothing else, and the aquanatal is weekdays during working hours, so no good for me. Going to just have to go to the evening swimming pool sessions when it's quieter

Hi Karen welcome to April Mummies!

Oooh Pixel, I like the zoom! And what a bargain My cot arrives today, eek!

Well nowhere near as bad 'stretching' pains today so fingers crossed yesterday was just a big growth spurt - less than week until my 20 wk scan and I'm just feeling so nervous! Xxx

 

[tinks77]

Wearing my maternity jeans today & OMG I think I'm in heaven & they only cost me £5 from eBay

 

[Karen0209]

MrsPod...would it b possible for u to speak to your work abs have a "lunch hour" scheduled to match an aquanatal class time? Im lucky as I work from home one day a week so just going to change the day to same one as the class so I can nip out for the class...I know its not always easy if your not in a flexible office job. Good luck though! Xx

 

[MrsPod]

Karan, that would be an awesome idea, but I work in a school, so lunchtime is lunchtime. I'll try to go in the school holidays to do somethinng a bit different and get out.

On a different note - hello maternity jeans, you are now my best friend!

 

[Pixel]

Hi Karen My cot arrives today!

How exciting! What did you go for? X
