I know but I have always had a firmly positive outlook only. If I went around saying it might not work I wouldn't have lost 4 stone in 4 months on slimming world! I know bf is hard and many people have complications and yes I may be one of them. I have three friends who have tried and been...

Your dog wakes you up at 7am crying so you take him to the garden but he still doesn't stop so now you've had no sleep and have a massive headache.

Thank you :) everything you've said is why I want to exclusively breast feed until 6 to 9 months and I'm reading up on baby led weaning for 6 months plus. I just feel that why would I give formula when I can create something much more natural and full of exactly what my baby needs myself! I...

I have a friend who is very slim about the 8 stone mark and she shows immediately, everyone's bodies are different but she put up a pic of her 16 week baby bump today and she's bigger than me and I'm 26 weeks lol it's just all dependent on you! No one will show in the same way so it's hard to...

That's why I'm going for gas and air and my own personal tens machine. I don't like or trust my hospital, my dad got sicker and died there. My sisters fiancé's dad caught mrsa after a routine op and died there, a friend had a c section caught mrsa didn't see her baby until he was 3 months old...

I think she's just having a bad day, I started crying so my mum phoned her and she got all moody with my mum and put the phone down. She text me and said sorry only trying to help because breast feeding doesn't always work. I'm well aware it's difficult and sometimes babies just don't take to...

Your sister gets all moody with you because she's not going to be feeding your baby because your not going to be expressing and using bottles you are intending to solely breast feed because introducing bottles is one of the biggest reasons for failing to carry on with breast feeding!

Your mum offers to take you for Sunday lunch on her yum!

Oh right lol! Well you can make it at home! I love me Sw fry ups! X x x

What idiot watches titanic when they have high hormones ... Oh yes that would be me!!

Lol yeah we have some that you can't tell who is coming on shift because all you will hear is how long now how long now how long now lol. Rosalin is more severe than ken, ken is quite able but has really bad balance and severe curvature of the spine, I hate seeing him fall! I'm adding dyjhiw...

Lol well ken is busy singing on his karaoke but was supposed to be going to a vintage car show today so he was upset about that and rosalin has been singing, dancing and colouring all day but she should have been at her club from 10 until 12 and is still a bit stressed that she hasn't been. If...

Support worker for adults with learning difficulties, I'm in 10am until 10pm on my own now, someone should have been here until 4pm then another staff member is in at 10pm to do the sleep. It's rubbish because in the house it's ok to have one carer to the two service users but I can't take...

They don't offer pethidine anymore in Wales because it's so addictive as it shares it's family tree with heroin it's diamorphine you get around here which isn't as strong or addictive. Forceps just look so cruel! I don't understand how they don't pull babies head off the amount of pulling I've...

There's nothing wrong with having a cookie! I love them when they are soft and chewy you just have to allocate the syns to them and then you don't feel guilty! That's what syns are there for to teach us that yes we can have these lovely treats but we are learning via our 15 syns a day about...

Wow well done you! I had lost 4 stone on slimming world I've gained 16lbs so far and I'm almost 26 weeks so I want to lose some of that again if possible! It's funny I'm not a mega chocolate person but I'm finding that if it's been a while since I've eaten I need chocolate or something sweet to...

It's not about dignity but I just can't imagine ever wanting to flip through a photo album and say here look at your head coming out of my vagina! And even worse would not want my mum down there, yes she wiped me at birth but it's Been a very long time since then lol. My hubby is very...

Would any of you ladies take pictures of babies head coming out or video? I've just been told my cousins mother was busy snapping pictures of her bits as baby came out who are they going to show them too? If my mam turned to me and said here Amy look at these pictures of your head coming out...

Would you feel confident enough to visit a salon? Lots of places these days offer a service where they zap the hair and it means that it thins becomes lighter and less noticeable. My mum has been having this treatment on the hairs on her chin and it's really working, it's like the electrocute...

The 30th of December :D they do a Christmas tree festival in my church over would you believe Christmas! Lol they take them down by the 5th so the 30th means we will be using the church when it's looking stunning, our baby will go into the new year christened and we will get to spend a night...

The mw is happy for me to follow Sw or cc but Sw isn't giving me the flexibility for when I'm feeling sick and need an instant sugar boost whereas with cc I can have healthy meals but have chocolate when I need it within my cals X x x

I've already booked my christening date even though bubs isn't here yet as our church books up a year in advance and we have christenings by 6 months in our family. X x x

HI everyone, I'm usually on Sw but I'm pregnant and finding it hard to stick to the right foods so I am trying cc for two weeks to see if it helps! I'm using my fitness pal and I've inputted my weight and height and it says to maintain my weight I would need to have 2500 cals, is it right...

Hey huni sorry to hear teddy ended up in hospital but great that he's putting weight back on. Just wanted to let you know when I was born I weighed 7lbs 5oz and I immediately started sleeping through the night and missing feeds, within a few days I had gone down to 6lbs 9oz i was bf, my mum...

Hey Hun, You've taken your first step just by admitting to yourself and by posting on here so well done, welcome and the next step is probably going to have to be to weigh yourself (sorry :() I know it sucks, I missed three weeks of wi's and I really didn't want to go but I put on 4lbs took...

All you need to do is remember to eat until your full because then they are free foods, if you eat past feeling hungry then they are no longer free, that's why I would recommend you eat the super free portion of your plate first, that way your fuller when you get to your free foods like pasta...

Dyjhiw your hormones have you sobbing at glee lol!

You can come to my house and stock me up if you want :D X x x

You weigh 10 stone 8lbs? My left leg alone weighs that much! Lol

I'd never claimed before either, you spend ages on the phone, I don't see why they can't do an online application! When we moved to Wales it was really difficult for my hubby to get a full time job so he did 3 part time ones while I worked full time, we didn't qualify last year as we earnt too...

I feel your pain, my car is a nightmare, first mot it cost £600!!! Second mot £330! It's due on July 4th :( if I had been saving money on mot's I could have bought a reliable car by now lol! It needs the latch on the bonnet fixing on payday as it won't open, I basically flashed as much boob as...

I'm getting the panics about not being able to do anything in my house, there's just no point until the central heating has been installed because they will be selling and lifting floor boards and just the thought of it is making me stressed! We need to get the nursery plastered and also our...

Your obviously needing the cards then Hun, our bodies will always tell us when we need something, you've not got very long left now have you X x x

You open a banana and it's black inside but has no bruising on the outside so you pick up your apple to find it has loads of open rancid scratches :(

Aww brilliant! Glad it went well hun, I had to go back at 22 weeks as baby was in a real awkward position slop but at 22 weeks she checked everything! So your a blue bump then :D I didnt want to know so we are waiting for a surprise X x x

I love my pressure cooker, it does potatoes and carrots in 10 minutes! Makes doing a roast dinner much quicker lol X x x

Do you have a slow cooker and reassure cooker? I will probably rely on the aswel because you just bang all the ingredients in and with a slow cooker do it in the morning it's ready by tea time and pressure cooker makes soups and stews in 30 to 40 mins. With reheating stuff I take it out in the...

Doesn't it have something to do with mastication (now now ladies I mean chewing ;), ) My C has always explained it to our group with pears, tinned pears take no chewing as they are so soft and slippery you pretty much put it in your mouth and swallow but eating a fresh pair takes chewing and...

Well my cousins labour is going very slow she went in early hours of the morning and was 3cm and now she is still only 4cm! They've just broken her waters and will be putting her on a hormone drip if things don't start progressing. On another note, what is everyone using to keep there bumps...

I worry all the time hun I think it's natural, I had dreams that at my anomaly scan she put it on and my tummy was empty with no baby even though I was feeling movement! I still worry when I see the midwife and she's looking for the heartbeat. It's training for the rest of our lives when we...

Thank you :) I haven't felt so positive about my diet in months! X x x

I am on the right thread! I was talking about gestational diabetes not blood pressure with regards to my hubby's cousin do I'm confused at your comment?

I know yeah, I told the girl weighing me to f off in shock lol, I though she was taking the pee especially since on the Wednesday (I'm a Monday weighed) I ate a whole box of French fancies lol Before I got pregnant my average loss was 3 to 5lbs a week but then I was 19 stone when I joined Sw...

Just found out my hubby's cousin (she's 26 stone and 33 weeks gone) has gestational diabetes and is having to have injections everyday now ouch! And she laughed at me when I said I was carrying on doing slimming world when pregnant, maybe If she had got out of the mindset of eating for two...

I'm having my husband and my mum with me, I'm going to try tens machine and gas and air only to see how I go! My mum has pethidine and said she thought she has dreamed giving birth and I don't want that. Trammadol made me space out so don't much fancy anything stronger lol. X x x

Omg I'm the same!!! It's only zombies that get me, I seriously sometimes think about my action plan incase I woke up and there were zombies outside! There is just something about them that just scares me silly. I think it might be because I think of 28 days later and the "disease" came from a...

I'm not aloud to work after 36 weeks without the Drs permission! I'm a support worker for people with learning difficulties and I think it's because of all the risks I.e being hit, clients falling and having seizures, long hours etc also we are supposed to drive their cars but depending on how...

Romance

Does it cause any complications or anything or is it just another one of those things that can happen? Do they have to clean you out after or what happens? Sorry lol I like lots of info on what might happen to me lol X x x

Lol! Someone I knows baby pooed inside her while on the way out! Is that unusual? X x x

Castor oil is what everyone is telling her to have but all that does is give you raging runs which can bring on contractions - no thanks lol! I'm already scared of doing a number 2 when I'm pushing haha X x x

It's a nice change yeah, it makes me feel very summery :D X x x

Oh dear lol, my mum thinks because I'm being so laid back over when bubs arrives I'm going to go early but I really don't care! I won't have a sweep or anything until I'm a week late just take it as it comes I guess! X x x

Dry

It was huge! Urgh lol

Very true and a lad won't carry a rape alarm because it's not "manly" I think boys are more likely to end up alone at some point whereas girls go in a pack even to the loo! My only trouble was this big glowing sign I have that follows me about saying weirdos welcome, I always seem to attract...

I'm really dreading it, I'm just hoping the next 10 weeks pass quickly so I can finish work for a year lol! X x c

Did it work ? :D

She's not with the father not that she knows who the father is so she's ruled that one out. I think she is so desperate to have the baby she's going to go over by a lot! I mean she's been drinking raspberry leaf tea for 8 weeks I think that was a very stupid thing to do try and bring the baby...

Tears

You have to go back to work tomorrow after a week off :( but only 13 shifts until another 8 days off and then just 28 shifts until you go on 5 weeks al before your mat leave.

Bills :(

From 16 to 18 my mum didn't ask me to pay anything I was in 6th form and working part time but saving that money for UNi. I left for UNi and have never moved back, my big sister lived at home for a few years and my mum didn't charge her she just did food shopping sometimes. I feel a bit hard...

Bag

You told your cousin time and time again that none of the old wives tales were going to bring on labour any faster, babies only come when they are ready and she didn't believe you and her due date has passed lol I just like being right! X x x

I started going to gigs in Manchester London and Liverpool either with my friends or I would travel alone and meet friends there from 16 years old. I'm in Holyhead so was a long trip to London alone. Our main benefit was if we were concerned about anything we could speak welsh to each other and...

Just made myself a chocolate scan bran cake for my b for later yummy!

So today so far I have had. 250mls blueberry and pomegranate juice no added sugar - 1.5 syns (just checked syns online thought there was loads in it, only 1.5! So going on my shopping list!!!) Pasta with primula light (hexA) ham and mushrooms. Spaghetti bolognese made with extra lean mince...

I think it's the two A and two B that isn't helping so I'm going to try and get my calcium and fiver from elsewhere for a week and see how that goes! X x c

You remind me of my friend except she has poor eyesight and instead of getting run over by push bikes she was the one doing the running over lol! She also rode into a big metal sign once, she's never learned to drive ... X z x

Toes

My day one is SPF 15, I think it's best to have something with sun cream in it because it helps prevent skin cancer as well X x x

Birdseye

I'm 25 and remember all of these ! :D Anyone else remember cartoons being put on upside down on April fools day morning so you had to sit with your head hanging off the sofa and your feet up the back! X x x

I remember having a birds nest in my mums garden and I went to have a look to see how the eggs were doing and a big black rat was sat eating the eggs :( upset me for life that did evil rat! Anyone see that giant rat in the news someone killed? It was the size of a small ish dog! X x x

Rain

I think it's so different now from when I was growing up. My childhood home was a 2 minute walk from my school so I had a key when I was 8 and was ok to walk to and from with my friends. I was also allowed to play out by myself from 8 because we have lots of fields nearby the only rule was...

Knitting

I'm 25 and I use moisturiser tinted with foundation by Olay and I put a night moisturiser on my face every night, in my opinion prevention is better than a cure so by looking after my skin now I might not sag as much in later life. I also use a full body moisturiser everyday after a shower...

Sheep

Ok so my gain so far Is 16lbs at 25 weeks I'm determined to stick to plan from tomorrow so I've had a blow out tonight on everything I fancied lol. Draw a line under it now and start fresh from tomorrow!!! X x x

I've not been on plan at all so it's not toooo bad considering lol, going to try an be healthier now though! The thing that will effect my syns is my craving for pomegranate and blueberry juice! X x x

Oh dear better put my gain up to 1st 2lbs! 4lbs on over 3 weeks lol X x x

Oh good lol just one of my pregnancy fancies! X x x

I kept the wee thing a secret until the girl at work said I know this is gross but last night I threw up and did a wee, I was so relieved not to have been alone and thinking I had a weak bladder lol! I've been ok since 12 weeks gone, I find that if I'm over tired or over hungry I will be sick...

I had a cream egg phase as well!! Lol I'm drinking loads, I'm enjoying syn free fizzy flavoured water from tesco I'm drinking litres of the stuff! I'm just feel hungry even after a big meal I'm like a bottomless pit, maybe it's that we are digesting food faster because of baby so maybe I...

I didn't think you had had your baby yet? Or am I having a total baby brain episode!! I thought she meant your weight at final weigh in? Has anyone weighed less at final weigh in than when they discovered they were pregnant? I've had weeks where I've lost then gained then maintained, but...

I think some Drs just handle it wrong as well. I've had some Drs who just politely ask about my weight and I can happily say I'm on slimming world and I've lost 4 stone so far (before baby bump lol) to which they usually say wow well done keep up the good work. Those I don't mind, they are being...

Hi ladies, This may be a really silly question but if I add sugar free squash to diet lemonade is it still syn free? Just because I know there are some "cheats" that turn free foods into syns and I was wondering if by adding these free drinks together I was turning them into a syn? Thanks...

Hi ladies, My eating is starting to get out of control, my hubby has been buying chocolate and stuff for him and when he goes to have it I've eaten it and I don't remember doing it! I'm 25 weeks today, I'm going to class at 7pm so I will see what my gain to date is, I've not been for 3 weeks...

Hey huni. I had extreme sickness for three weeks and was put on a drip because I couldn't keep water down but I also would do a little wee! It's one of those things, a pregnant girl I work with also would wee when being violently sick so your not alone there. Has the Dr prescribed you...

Yes unfortunately you do X x x

I've not seen anyone lose weight before labour, only after or is that what you mean?

Oh good, she didn't seem worried but she was a bit flustered, she's normally a labour ward midwife and explained that she is only used to looking at the notes for info important to the labour lol she was nice though and it was nice to see the face of someone who may be there when I give birth...

She said she couldn't feel baby's position with me today but I'm only 25 weeks, is that normal? Lol X x x

I'm measuring on time, this was my first time to be measured and I was just wondering if weight gain made a difference my next appointment is the 4/6 so we will see lol X x x

I really didn't want to put any weight on but so far I've gained 12lbs and I'm 25 weeks but weigh in is today so I might have (probably) gained more lol I'm trying to keep my weight gain at half a lb a week and I'm on track so far! Question for ladies who had babies before did gaining a lot of...

It's a fab idea! It's exciting to keep track lol My cousin is due today, she's going for a sweep later she's desperate to get baby out lol X x x

Your right I've just read backwards a bit she was talking about doing something when she was 37 weeks lol. I dunno everyone needs to post in the due date thread :D X x x

That's who I was thinking of! I think mummy Clark is next then, I'm sure she said she was 37 weeks last week. X x x

I'm sure someone was going in this weekend for a C section but I can't remember who! Mummyclark is soon I think! X x x

Aww what gorgeous pics so cute! I've just come back from the midwife, it was a different one today who's come from the labour ward so I've at least met one that might be there when I give birth! All is good baby has a very strong heartbeat which she found immediately my fundal height...

Yeah long awaited baby number one after nearly three years of trying :D hehe I'm sure I will be having all sorts placed on my tum before long lol X x x

I'm 25 weeks tomorrow :) I've been feeling movement since 16 weeks but it's the first time my belly has jumped lol can't wait for my hubby to see! X x z

You see your baby bump move for the first time with baby's kicks :D

I've got the tidy house part but it's blowing a gale and raining here so no gardening for me lol X x x

My family is like that I share my birthday with one of my nannas sisters who died three years ago, my dad died 12/2/11 his birthday is 13/2 my nanna died 21/4/10 which is my cousins birthday and our wedding anniversary is on 25/4 I'm so sorry you lost your mum and dad sp close together, it was...

Tell me about it, I keep getting tired and sitting down though and all of a sudden half an hours gone past! I still have dishes to do and kitchen floor to wash :( X x x

I know what you mean Hun, my dads been gone 15 months and I still get teary over little things. As for the situation it just sounds like a lot of crossed wires, I would just call her and discuss it find out what her idea was and explain to her that with your high hormones and with his 30th...

Your husband asks your opinion on something and because you don't give him the answer he wanted to hear he turns into a stroppy child. If you don't want the truth don't ask me in future!!

My baby is always busy does anyone else have that not kicking but like wiggling lol I get lots of kicking as well but I swear my baby never sleeps! X x x

Yeah, I'm really lucky. She said in her will that my mum had a house and didn't need two so me and my sister were left the house, I paid my sister 50% of the value of the house so we own it with no mortgage, we thought we would be able to get a small mortgage for say £25,000 to do the house up...

It is beautiful, I didn't appreciate it when I was younger but when I loved in Liverpool for 3 years and Stockport for 2 I realised how lovely it was, we moved back after my nanna left us her house X x x

Yay someone with a non food thing hehe I like biting polystyrene because of the squeak but I don't swallow it lol X x x

I found out yesterday you can donate breast milk if you have extra aswel for prem babies, we don't have any facilities nearby though :( X x x

I'm in Holyhead north Wales :D x

The average gain is 28 to 34lbs so for me as someone who is overweight I set my weight gain target as 20lbs tops because you should lose that and more through labour with the weight of baby, placenta, amniotic fluid, blood, water etc. I've gained 12lbs so far and I'm 25 weeks on Monday so if I...

You find your school books from when you were 11 and 12 and have a right giggle at your stupid answers to questions and what you had written to your friends when you were bored! I.e do you think I'm prettier than so and so Friends reply - yes your well prettier and you've already got boobs...

I was smelling the inside of Easter eggs lol I ate them after of course but was happy smelling them for a few days first!

Has anyone had any non food cravings? I read about a woman eating furniture polish!

White bread! It's been a real issue for me lol jam sarnies, paste and toast!!! Worst part is the white bread is for my hubby I have wholemeal staring me out while I'm bust sneaking white bread!!!

I get some pains when I turn over in bed it's like my bump was settled on one side and it groans at me for moving lol, I've been getting some stretching pains which I think is everything expanding! X x x

I'm sticking with slimming world because I don't think it's a diet it's just healthy eating! And that's what your supposed to do when your pregnant :D lol X x x

Heyy, Well mine is 24+5 and I've put on 12lbs so far I'm due August 28th :D and I'm Amy X x x

Agreed, my dad died from pneumonia and it's a horrible painful way to die and the Dr missed it as a "water infection" even though we were calling them to the house for two months!

Lol well there is not much they can do about it! How exciting! My hubby thinks that's going to happen to us because I won't go on any contraception after it took us so long to get pregnant this time! X x x

If a baby's movement has a bearing on how much they weight at birth I would be having a small baby as I've had non stop moving all day and now the Irish jig is going on in there lol I love it!

Wow your still on mat leave with no2 but your pregnant with no3? How long will you have back at work before you go back on mat leave? I've had non stop movement from my bubs today he or she has not stopped! My dog has begun with guard dog like behaviour around me and my house, he barks non...

Your playing pointless against your hubby and instead of football questions which you suck at the question was about Harry potter woop woop!

Thanks hun it's just really frustrating that they are being horrible! All of my managers are women aswel!

Hey huni, it took me almost three years to conceive, I was told I had pcos then I didn't, I do have a partially blocked tube but after losing almost 4 stone with sw we conceived naturally :D I think losing weight is deffinately the key to success! X x x

I've had enough of my work! I am fed up of them treating me like I'm a pain in the arse because I'm pregnant they are stressing me out so much! I'm off sick because I've got a throat infection, don't speak to me on the phone like I'm the most difficult person in the world, lots of people are...

Mines monthly but my hubby has three pt jobs one pays weekly the other two weekly and the other 4 weekly but mine pays all the bills because it's the same date so I'm always the skint one!

Have you told them that your only available until the 10th? Maybe they could be flexible, or just be sneaky work till the 9th then call in sick lol X x x

Once in a lifetime thing!, ask for your college work in advance, work it at home buy a dictaphone that you can connect to the net and ask a friend from your classes to record and upload all your lectures so you can keep up and three weeks is nothing in lectures! I missed three weeks in a drunken...

I agree, I've been dancing since I was 3 so I think I'm quite muscled as well which I think makes me look smaller my mum was 4 stone lighter than me and wearing the same size. It's bizare hey! How are you cas3? I've never done cal counting I know I would be a big fat cheater lol! X x x

Some consultants haven't been trained properly and they give people the wrong information! Really winds me up grrr

A loss is good when it's * week Hun well done, I'm sure it will show next week when your not retaining water :) its all swings and roundabouts x x.

Congratulations hun wow lots of new pregnancys! The old way was only one of each, it was updated January this year so I'm not sure why you consultant is unaware of that! did you tell her you were pregnant? It says in my January 2012 issue leaflet to have 2 A and 2 B and my consultant is the...

Glad I mentioned the extra healthy extras so you know then!

Yeah your consultant will have a pregnancy leaflet for you, during pregnancy you need 2 healthy A and 2 healthy B. if your planning on breast feeding the first 2 months you need 5 healthy extras they recommend 3 or 4 A choices and then if your exclusively breast feeding from 2 months to 6 months...

Congratulations hun! I got pregnant after losing nearly 4 stone with slimming world, I'm 24 + 3 at the moment and I've gained 12lbs so far I'm quite pleased with that lol. The main thing I would say is don't beat yourself up the weeks you do see a gain because it's going to happen! I have...

I think it totally depends on your size, a person weighing 25 stone should be losing more per week than someone who weighs 13 stone for example, we all know it slows down as you approach target. My body quite happily lost between 3lbs and 5lbs a week following slimming world and there is...

My target weight is set at 12 stone ATM I haven't been that for about 10 years so I don't know what I will look like. From there I will bring my target down 7lbs a time until I am happy but the lowest I will go is 10.5 I'm 5 foot 6, but I carry my weight well at 19 stone 5lbs I was only I size...

It's all part of the fun lol it teaches us a lesson - drink more so next time you don't remember :D I did it in uni with one of my best male friends who lived with me! It was like if we didn't pull someone else we would gravitate towards each other lol I don't know how it was never awkward I...

We've all been there! Usually when an incredibly thick pair of beer goggles are being worn lol! X x x

Sorry I've been in work a long time without any adult conversation ... Think I may be going slightly mad! X x x

I think bmi is a totally outdated scale to work by! My mum was a size 14 when she was 25 the measurements now would struggle to fit a size 10! And bmi is older then my mum lol. My scale is the comfortable scale, one day when I feel comfortable with what I see in the mirror be it a 10 or 14 I...

Hey congratulations! I think the main thing is try your best to stick to plan, have your extra healthy A and B and don't be too hard on yourself! I found that low syn treats like sorbet and frozen yogurt help me it's all about finding something low syn that gets you through sickness or...

You get a pregnancy craving and suddenly nothing is more important than a big bowl of cold custard. Now I feel sick!

Random craving of the day- a bowl of cold custard? Lol

It was the inhale of breath that went around the whole room that was funny lol I think everyone thought I was upset until I screeched no way your lying show me that thing come on give it! Lol Thanks :D I'm looking forward to my first weigh in after baby is born haha that will be awesome! X x x

Your doing a ten hour shift and your only 2 hours in and totally bored!

I only sleep thanks to my dream genii pillow I love it!

Lol luckily she didn't take offence, I made her show me the hand held thing so I could see for myself lol! X x x

I know what you mean when I was told I lost 7.5 in a week I told the girl to F off I though she was taking the mickey lol X x x

It's just today all of a sudden I feel like someone's made me wear ankle weights lol, as soon as hubby is home from work I'm off to bed, 10 hour shift tomorrow! Double time =£140 for a days work woop!

Bless him he was so gobsmacked he left in silence he said he couldn't stay because he didn't know what to say!

Lol tell me about it! Is have reached my 10% lol X x x

It really varies from person to person, what you've eaten as speed foods will make a difference etc but I've seen people lose 2lbs up to 1stone but I think the average is 2lbs to 7lbs I was 19st 5 when I started and lost 4lbs. My biggest loss in another week was 7.5lbs. Another thing that...

I'm feeling massively pregnant today lol 24 weeks tomorrow, I'm starting to feel tired like I did in the first 12 weeks I can't wait to go to bed! Lol X x x

It's just worse because I look bigger than my cousin who is due may 14th! Lol

I've not been tagged and it was my mother, she's fat aswel she should know better than to take pictures from low down the cow! That dress is in the bin and I'm off to buy some volume shampoo and a darker foundation!!!!!

Had some horrible pics of me appear on Facebook not a happy lady :(

You wear a dress that you thought made you look nice and then you see pictures and you look huge and everyone says you look blooming in pregnancy but you just feel like a lanky haired greasy faced heffer :(

Make sure you do and I will ask my midwife why I'm not and we can compare notes lol X x x

Exactly :D I feel so much more relaxed knowing I don't have to do night shifts alone anymore! X x x

I think it's more than just bmi because if it was bmi I would be under a consultant because mine was 36 at booking in. I think it goes on your previous health issues, family history and bmi because apart from my weight I have no health problems, I've not got any pregnancies for them to go on...

She thought at first I was off sick for 3 months which on a way was good because when she realised it was only night shifts she was kind of releved lol x x x

I've got one of the dream genii pillows and it's amazing, helps me sleep better and you can use it after as a back support and breast feeding pillow X x x

Try the morrisons version it's exactly like actual lemon sherbets lol X x x

You need to call work to tell them the dr says no more night shifts until after your mat leave and your a bit scared of their reaction so haven't called them yet.

Yeah I think it's to check on how baby is growing, my hubby's cousin has had them and she is under a consultant. I was told I would only get one at 32 weeks if they think baby is too big or too small lol X x x

I'm not finishing, she just written it so I don't do night sleeps I can still do day and evening shifts, I'm finishing July 23rd because I have new annual leave from June 20th and have to use 5 weeks before my mat leave and 2 weeks after my mat leave because after that I get new annual leave...

The lemon sherbet one from morrisons is really nice as well!

And scan bran! X x x

Well ladies been to the Dr this morning and my blood pressure is a little high 136/78 and she asked me what I had been doing in the last 24 hours and I explained to her about the long 24 hour night shifts and that work weren't being flexible and she has written me a fit note saying no night...
