yer i really don't get it either! though my mum did say to make sure you drink it for a good while afterwards too as it helps your uterus contract back to normal . . . hopefully meaning a flatter non-saggy tummy quickly!!!

[spice]

hi, i'm feeling gassy and my ankles are swollen, but baby is moving around nicely, and i am feeling pretty happy in general.
I am sat reading through all these posts and getting more and more impatient. I want my baby now, but wish I was a few weeks further on rather than him coming too early!

hope you are feeling well.

 

[HeppiBean]

Glad things are ok in general Yeh I'm doing ok, just want these BH to go away x

Hi girls. I had my home visit from mw today and all good measuring 34 and babys head down low. Went over birth plan and hospital bag etc. I love our mw here we have 3 looking after area but mostly get Margaret.

Anyway, regarding ball. If anyone got sky tv, under lifestyle there are 2 fitness channels. One of em does pilates on the ball in pregnancy. Its also consistent with my ball exercises physio gave me so check it out. if just watching tv I start off sitting and do round shoulders and neck. Then I do pelvic floor 10 sets. Then clench butt cheeks while bouncing. Then pelvic tits (careful not to over extend). Then figure 8 with hips. Stretches arm over to open ribcage then arms folded, hips forward, turn left and right. Get off ball and do cat stretches with forearms on ball for support. Next I carry ball to wall and put ball behind lower back and lean back. Lots of squats varying leg positions this is meant to be really good for labour. I do other stuff on ball but you would need to watch and copy as pilates moves.... Hope this helps!!

Oh an Jen......LOVE Brooke....

Oh & Tracey, the RLT was bringing on my BH I think so didn't have a cup yesterday but will have one this arvo and see if it makes a diff as I didn't get any yesterday x

 

[HeppiBean]

Weird question ladies... But is it normal for stretchmarks to be really sore? They're only small but if anything touches them it really hurts xx

 

[Emerald rose]

Some stretchmarks do hurt just rub some oil or cream in to them it should help.
DO all tescos sell Rlt? I tried to find it in sainsburys but they didnt have any.

 

[Piglet's Mama]

I ordered mine when I did my online shop from Tesco, ER - I assume they do, I've got the Clipper ones x

 

[KellyHook]

Mine are from tescos to.. And the clipper ones aswell!

 

[spice]

i got my RLT from Holland and Barrett! wasn't that expensive either . . . my local tescos is useless and my sainsburys doesn't stock it

also just thought i'd update you all on Jazz . . . not sure if little one has a name or not yet (as its not been mentioned) but she's obviously doing well (from her facebook if anyone has her on it) she's a gorgeous baby with lots of dark brown hair! and Jazz looks like she's recovering well (no-longer having to use crouches to stand spd must be fading!)

i think we should take bets on which August 4th baby will come next, pink (songbird) or blue (me)

also, my had my work leaving do this evening and it completely turned into a baby shower! got given so many presents will take a photo of the GIANT bag they came in! its about half full!!! hope everyone else has been having a nice evening x

 

[KellyHook]

Jazz and LO (not named yet) should be allowed home today, LO has to have one last blood test and a weigh in and if all good then they can go home today!! They've both done so well!

Oo lovely about your presents from your work colleagues, that's was nice of them! ...


Just getting ready to go to my growth scan, FX everything is still working as it should! will update you all when I'm back! Xx

 

[Emerald rose]

Got a busy day today my first antenatel class, then shopping for my baby girls 4 birthday tommorow followed by a pedicure. I will have a look in tescos for the RLT and holland and barrets if tescos hasnt got any.

 

[Lulu_Laroo]

Good luck with your growth scan Kelly

I got my rlt from Holland & Barratt too - buy one get one half price! Though I've decided against drinking it now x

 

[songbird]

im so happy to hear that Jazz and LO are doing well.
Im too not drinking the RLT after being advised not to.

Hmmm which 4th August baby will be next pink or blue after all the trouble she has put me through in the last 6 weeks i bet mine will be late lol

I would put money on your little man Spice lol

 

[Piglet's Mama]

I'm not due to Aug 16 but my hubby randomly said last week he thinks our LO will come on 4 Aug

So glad to hear Jazz & LO are doing well.

And good luck today Kel, let us know how it goes! x
