checked the slendertone system apparently they run on EMS not TENS 
learn summat new every day....from the website...
"Slendertone uses Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) toning technology to create strong, deep muscle contractions to tone your body. It simply mimics the body’s natural muscle movements; signals are sent between the pads, switching on the nerves that control your muscles and causing them to contract naturally. EMS technology has been used for over 40 years in hospitals, clinics and physiotherapy practices around the world to strengthen and rehabilitate muscles"
Think I'd prefer the generic branded ones in this instance, they offer more flexibility with positioning, where as Slendertone seem to want you to buy loads of different kits for different body parts... = £££

I know Vicky said we need to do cardio to burn fat...but here's an idea I'm considering...
Slendertone = toned muscle (admittedly under a layer of fat)
Toned muscle = higher fat burn capacity/metabolic rate
higher metabolic rate = more fat loss
fat loss + muscle tone = 1 hot momma
y'never know! could work lol

You should have a look see if there's any pregnancy yoga classes near you Cheryl, can help make the birth easier so I'm told - that and your fitball ...keeps you supple and flexible...walking is also good for that as I'm sure you already know I was walking loads right up to the birth of mini me

You don't have to attend each and every class - I'm sure they'd be ok with you turning up ad hoc, after all not everyone is at the same stage of pg at the same time
... if it's a gym that does the yoga class, try and find one with a creche?... a couple of the larger public pool/gyms here have that sorta thing going on ...hope this helps - bit of you time wouldn't hurt either
