My sister who is usually the biggest snob in the world uses aldi nappies as she was given some in a hamper and they apparently were the best ones out of the branded ones. It amazed me and as the poorer sister took delight in taking the mick out of her but will def be using them when baby comes...

Its all so confusing because they change the guidelines all the time, with my last pregnancy you could make bottle feeds up and put them in the fridge but now you cant do that? You're right Oasis the only thing you can do really is trust your instincts and do what we feel is right x

Congratulations on your pregnancy. I did sw until about twenty five weeks and then have calorie counted since then. Im 30 weeks tomorrow and have put on 13lb so far and I'm aiming to not go over two stone if I can but I know its harder in the last few weeks. Good luck, as long as you eat...

Aw I'm pleased he has reacted so well to her, it is my one big worry. Did you buy him anything and give it to him as a present from his sister? And this is going to sound silly but when you put her down in the moses basket in the sitting room or something and go out the room (to make a cuppa or...

Oh wow thats amazing! What a lovely birth story..its great that you didnt tear or graze or anything as well. Do they know why she helped her way out or anything or does that just sometimes happen? I'm s glad it went the way you wanted it to. Were you able to go straight home after? xx

Aw she is gorgeous Cas! You're right it is a pink year, Out of 12 people I know there is only me and another that are having boys the rest girls! x

I think the reason why I think 4 years is to long is because LO is so used to being the only (spolit!) one and plus I would like to try for another after this one to see if we could get a girl but will be going in my 30s and for some reason I didnt want babies then, I wanted to be all done...

Congratulations Becca, she lokks gorgeous and what a lovely name xx

Ah right on Xmas as well that's rubbish, it's hard times at the minute like. Yeh hopefully now I know abit early I can get myself sorted x

It will be good for you to rest up a bit before the baby comes especially if your struggling abit with your crutches. I'm a bit like you in that I'm not leaving until about 38 weeks as I'd prefer to be off longer at the end, how long do you plan in having off? I'm feeling a bit hormonal today...

Aw I'm glad everything is ok, that's the best thing to do to get checked out otherwise you just go mad with worry. I bought a fetal monitor as I fell down the stairs when I was about 15 weeks and they wouldn't check me over til I was 17 weeks so I sometimes have a listen as I find it really...

It's Gemma, I'm not doing to badly but we went for a happy hour on mon which set me back abit n then with it being the jubilee I'm bound to Be going out to a party or something! It's just mad how all the cals add up so quickly! Will you be going anything for the jubilee? X

I think you's have both done fab considering yous have just had babies! It goes to show its definitely worth preservering cal counting in pregnancy as it really does help after the birth! x

Today.. coco cereal- 150cals 2 slices of toast and sandwich spread-150cals chicken fajita sandwich- 410 cals cerreal bar- 116 cals 2 alpen bars- 250 cals pasta bake- 662 cals clice of bakewell cake- 264 cals Total -2002 cals

Oh that does sound bad especially using crutches with a LO, have they said whether it should just go after the birth? June will be an expensive month for you with birthday presents then! But it will also be nice as they can have joint parties etc. Yeh im def going to try for a different season...

It's Gemma I didn't think about my login details when I first signed up for minimins as there were other Gemmas lol ooh 28 days left do you know what your having? X

Oh god that doesn't sound nice at all, is that caused by heartburn? You suffer from SPd don't you, has that gotten worse? I had quite a few pains earlier in my pregnancy so was a bit worried that I was going to get that badly but touch wood it seems to have died down. Yeh I know what you mean...

Ha ha so Oasis I take it you feel great eh?! The joys of being pregnant not long to go now... I just feel really irrational and p'ed right off for no particular reason I just can't seem to shake off this funk I'm in x

Just weighed in with a 1lb gain so that makes 13lb at 26 weeks. Not really surprised as I've done rubbish lately need to pull it back as wanted to get to 30 weeks before a stone went on. That's very organised Mrs S! How you finding it with two? My LO will be at nursery every afternoon when baby...

Thanks Cas. I'm sure you will, you seem to be doing really well! Im just going from bad to worse! x

I used raspberry leaf tea and I believe it definitely helped me with the pushing stage so I will definitely be using it again for 36/37 weeks I think x

I know I can't believe how sunny it is! Have you tried primark? I don't tend to spend a lot of money on summer stuff as he hardly gets any ware out of it. Apart from the last few days I haven't done to badly but I'm eating a lot of chocolate as I think im taking advantage of the calorie counting...

He feels a bit better now n has been given tablets so he's in the garden now while I'm fussing him! I feel quite bad like! We think it's came from some eggs which he ate thank god me and LO didn't have any as that doesnt bear thinking about! You enjoying the sun? X

Well yesterday and today have been rubbish as OH was taken to A&E with salmonella poisoning,....feel really bad as I complained and moaned about him being up all night :( I just thought he was being a typical man so trying to be extra nice now! So far today Bacon sandwich 2 mallows Mini milkyway

Well done on your loss Cas! X

Well done that's a fantastic loss! X

I agree with Sparkle and whatever is gained now is just the baby and water! I think everyone is doing so well keeping motivated at this late stage as well :)

Congratulations on your pregnancy! With my first baby I piled the weight on and didn't weigh myself at all (which I now regret) so this time thought I'd keep a food diary to keep myself in check. Good luck you will be fine! X

Congratulations! X

So far today... Chocolate mallow 156 Meatball sandwich 390 Creme egg 150

Yeh I know, I do feel a bit bad like but it took me hours to get back to sleep and then had to be up with the LO, but never mind it'll be harder with two! I'll go and get some fresh ait in abit, will you be doing anything nice today with the weather? I felt the heat at work in the office...

Ah shattered today like so god knows what I will eat. OH has been up since 3 with a tummy bug, up and down like a yo yo so I sent him down to sleep which led to a row about me being unsympathetic! It's hard to feel sympathy when it's taken you ages to get to sleep, your uncomfortable, baby is...

Thanks both I feel better now! I was just unsure as to whether to count the fat but I think I'll just keep going the way I am counting the cals and having the treats as long as there's some goodness in there! My last preg I just went to town n ate and ate so this time im defo sticking to it. And...

Oh my god that is excellent! Well done, you should be so pleased! Did you cal count the whole way thru? Ive been doing sw until about 1-2 weeks ago n I'm worried the cal counting might be making me just take advantage of eating rubbish but then I sts this week and didnt gain so thats good x

Can anyone answer or give an opinion on something I've been puzzling over...should I be counting the fat content on my food? So far I've been cal counting for over a week but I'm not adding up any of the fat. Is it just assumed that if I dont go over 2000 then my fat content wont be high? Reason...

Is the plan to diet straight after having the baby then? You don't want to put to much pressure on yourself as you'll have gone through enough but I know what you mean as I am at a wedding 4 weeks after due date and want to have lost a bit. Are you planning to breast feed as this may affect your...

Do you know what you are having and if so is it the same as last time? I always wonder whether the pregnancy is different with a different sex, how we feel, eat ect. If that makes sense! I'm having another boy so I wouldnt know and I think I just feel the same as last time as this time Im trying...

I havent really gone off my food, more that I have just turned really greedy I cant seem to stop eating chocolate because I know I can cal count it! I'm only nearly 25 weeks so dont think Im at that point yet but I remember with my last preg I did go off food at the end x

Aw that's lovely that they are interested and helpful I couldn't imagine it if Joshua felt left out. That gives me hope for him hopefully he will be fine, he's a good boy n quite sensitive. We like the names Noah and Elliot but still undecided. Do you and your OH have much help from family? I...

Thats still good! I've been doing sw up til now (24 weeks today) and it worked well until the last three weeks where I have gained 9lb eek so I'm going to change to calorie counting to see if that works. I weigh in today not really expecting a loss so soon but we'll see..x
