Hey girls,
I guess I'm lucky - I have 2 dressy dresses:) One bought back in September in Mamas and Papas, was reduced from €60 to €19, was a crime not to buy it. The second one came out of the blue - a friend of a friend heard that I was pregnant and gave to me her dressy dress - lacy black dress with a red ribbon, very nice. Guess she wanted to get rid of that dress as she's not planning on any more pregnancies and it was just lucky that I got it
But clothes for maternity are a disaster. If I wanted to start a business that would be the area where I would start it - definetely an empty niche in the market, and there is a baby boom going on!0 -
Morning
Girls I got a skinny pair of jeans/jeggings from Mama's and papas online think they cost €40 and they are soooo comfy had them on both Sat and Sunday, they are the bands that come up over the belly. I got a size bigger and for the first time in awhile i was able to say my jeans are a little big so i can see them lasting me till the end. I had them within 5 days of ordering and that included the weekend.
My goodness its cold out!!
I was out yesterday with my mam and everyone was asking where my bump was and telling me how neat I was. I just hope it stays like that. I may look like ive a small neat bump but the scales is telling a different story!! :eek:0 -

Lucky you! I had a work meeting today and a colleague told me I was very big...in fact 'very wide' was one of the phrases used! To be fair, I have gotten quite big in the past fortnight but I'm 28 weeks so I think I should be obviously pregnant by now!
I feel like I'm getting a cold today as well, have sore scratchy throat and totally stuffed up too

Hi everyone,
My throat is feeling a bit scratchy and sore as well. Hoping I'm not getting sick for Christmas.
Tiredness has hit me with a bang this week. I can barely keep my eyes open. So glad Christmas is around the corner and a few days off to go with it. I think I need the break.
I have gone from having nothing to wear to having loads of maternity clothes. One of my friends donated all her mat clothes to me - she said she's definitely done now after her second. And I found a great selection in H&M, so I stocked up on leggings, dresses, jeans and tops that do for maternity or breastfeeding.
My bump can't seem to decide whether she is big or small. She is moving around a lot, so some days it looks like I have barely any bump, and the next day, she'll be lying transverse and I'll feel stretched and massive! Right now I feel full to the brim, like I've eaten all around me!
I have totally migrated to a maternity wardrobe now but I find that the maternity dresses I wear to work make me look huge :eek: Just the style of fitting etc automatically makes you look bigger!
I'm back with consultant this Thursday morning for my 28wk check so I'm hoping he might tell me what way the baby is lying. Have to do my GT test too.. not looking forward to that. Have a meeting in work at lunchtime so will be in a mad rush to get back for that. 0 -
I had lots of movement the last two or three days and was thinking baby might be going through a bit of a growth spurt because i didn't feel well at all, ive started to get indigestion, and i'd a bit of a headache yesterday, literally went home had something to eat had a shower and was in bed by 9. Still not feeling great, feel like i could just burst into tears at any stage aswel!
i have a feeling baby is transverse especially in the evening time as i feel like im gonna explode when i try take deep breaths its not a nice feeling at all. I think we're at the start of the uncomfortable stage
Everyone's bumps are all different shapes and sizes, i met a girl on sat who is a week behind me and her bump was tiny and then i met a girl due a week before me and her bump was the complete opposite she was much bigger and wider i felt i was somewhere in the middle of them both, but its amazing how quick the shape and size change. I don't think i'd have the balls to tell anyone they were huge or 'very wide' even if i taught it, unless of course it was one of my good friends. Sure my own friends and family have told me my bum is huge even my dad has said it hahaha but i dont think id be impressed of just anyone said it!0 -

They are the business! I have three pairs of pants from them...big huge wide band that goes up to the top, no waistband to cut you off...I have worn them from the moment my regular pants stopped fitting and at 39+4 they are still the most comfortable things I own. wash great and dont shrink or fade. I was going to order more online but shipping and duties would have tripled the cost of the pants! I also got a load of maternity t-shirts which have fit and looked great the entire time (I bought some maternity camisoles to wear under them which still fit as well!) The clothes are priced really good and wash really well and are so versitile! I can't say enough good things about them! I would bother with thier sweaters or nicer tops though (i.e. not cotton) because i found they didn't grow as well with me and I only got one wear out of a nicer top before it stopped fitting the bump! My only regret was not buying one more pair of jeans than I got!
Rach you are a legend!!!!!

Hello everyone! Caramelbarrel-welcome aboard!
Well, spent the whole morning at the hospital yesterday-GD test, midwife, scan and consultant. Got GREAT news, the measurement we had all the stress over has reduced and baby is now measuring perfectly on target!!!! I was so relieved! I didn't even realise how much I had been carrying it with me I think.
GD test is a whole new form of torture! Thought I was going to faint between the hunger and the blood giving by the time we got to second bloods!
I have mine tomorrow and am not looking forward to it have consultants appt after the first set of bloods so hopefully that'll distract me for a while! Re maternity clothes, I looked in NY in sept and didn't see anything but then I had no bump and its hard to imagine what'll work for you later on. Am dead jealous of you heading off there. You too caramel barrel, a hotel now sounds like heaven!! 0 -
You'll survive the test yellow hen! I like you had a few appts to keep me occupied, but definitely bring a book and food!!! Not sure if it'll be the same for you but I had to set a timer on my phone to make sure I went back to get the bloods done EXACTLY on the hour each time. It seems to be quite a precise thing.
Holding out for Sunday now I can tell ya! Between his exams assignments, his work, my work and trying to buy this house our heads are melted!! Poor babs doesn't get a look in 0 -

Ok !!
Right !!
(That's me in shock - learning something really new!!! tee hee! )
I've had two blood tests so just waiting on the last one now. It's actually been ok so far, the lucozade has given me bad heartburn though
Just something that came up with consultant this morn and would be interested if anyone else is told this. Apparently, the hse has recommended that women get the whooping cough vaccine around 32weeks to protect their baby in its first few months. I've been to to ask for this at my next gp appt..0 -

I'm butting in a bit here (due in June) but thanks for this advice! I was reading an article about it the other day, about how many young babies have died in the UK and I was wanting to ask for the vaccine. Was worried they didn't do it here but going to ask my doctor now when the time comes!0 -

Welcome aboard Caramelbarrel
My baba defo likes scaring me, we had another quiet day on Tuesday, i dont like when baba is quiet, much prefer to feel all the movements. Its like i get days and days of acrobats twisting and turning and kicking and punching and then i get a day and a half of nothing and it scares me a little anyone else get this?0 -

Elly, don't worry - the baby need to sleep too, he can't just do his acrobatics 24/7!
Awh I know, I don't mind the quietness and then the odd kick to let me know all is OK. I just get a bit worried when I go a full day without feeling anything!
I know a girl from a few years ago didn't feel her baby move and left it for 10 days before going to the hospital and when she did go baby had died, cord had choked baby and things like that just play on my mind.
There is no way in hell no i'd wait 10 days tho. If i didnt feel anything for two days after trying the oul reliable cold fizzy drinks i would rather be over cautious and contact the hosp than not do anything!
The cold sparkling water seems to help tho
OHHH and Lilbe i just realised you called baba a he:D im convinced its a boy. Only 12 more sleeps until i open the envelope 0
