Hi Lisa,

Hi Helen,

congratulations on the arrival of baby Duncan, I am so pleased for you and dh. I remember we tested + around about the same time, you have brought it home to me how close my own little arrival is due.

I can't get over the size of baby Duncan, my friend had her son 4wks early due to pre ...

Hi Girls,

hope everyone is doing well. I was just wondering whether anyone else is suffering from this. I have only developed it this week, apparently it is quite common in women during the last 2 months of pregnancy and is caused by all the extra fluid in your body pressing on the median nerve ...

Hi Girls,

glad to hear you are all feeling so well apart from the obvious aches and pains. I am 33 weeks this week and also feeling really tired. I too am haivng difficulty sleeping and like Tracey have one pillow wedged either side of me and one in between my legs and I am only having one! I have ...

Hi Girlies,

have added Daniel also. Interesting there seems to be a lot of boys about at the moment. My midwife said the other day that loads of her patients are having boys as well

Love Julie xx

Helen,

glad to hear everything is looking good. My clinic don't scan again after the 20wk one so I feel a bit left out!

I am surprised at how big and cumbersom and tired I feel, I thought it would only be in the later stages that I would feel knackered but the last couple of weeks I have felt ...

Hi Janice,

I don't want to give you false hope but just thought I would share my story with you. Just over a week into the 2WW on my second IVF cycle in November last year I got all my usual af symptoms - cramps in stomach and legs, felt irritable etc, exactly the same as I felt during my first ...

Hi Helen,

Glad you enjoyed your holiday.

Happy to report I don't have any whiskers but have got a very hairy belly!!

I know what you mean about bump size worry. Everyone keeps telling me I am gi-normous! Each time I have seen my midwife I am measuring 2 and a half weeks bigger than my dates but ...

Hi Girls,

can anyone tell me whether it is safe to colour your hair while pg? I usually use semi permanents to colour my boring brown hair but they don't have any peroxide in. I am now considering using a stronger dye or maybe even having highlights. Does anybody know whether it is safe to do so ...

Hi Girlies,

Tracey - I agree I think Babies R Us have some really nice stuff. We have decided to do our nursery in the "Little Bear" range from them which is cream and beige with a tiny hint of blue. As well as doing all the normal mobiles, curtains, bedding etc, they also do the baby bath, baby ...

Hi HelenLouise,

great news on your scan result, we are having a boy too. Any names yet? Is that right that you are due 20th August? if so then snap I'm due that day as well!!

Take care

Love Julie xx

Hi Tracey,

just wanted to say congratulations on your scan, I am so happy and pleased for you. On the subject of your daughter giving you "the finger" Daniel did a somersault and waggled his behind in our faces at my scan, it must be catching!!

Take care and have fun spending!!!

Love Julie xx

Hi Girlies,

well had my 20 week scan on Monday and all is well. The sonographer was really good and pointed everything out to us, we saw the bowel and kidneys and even though the major blood vessells going in and out of the heart! the baby was being really awkward though and kept wriggling about ...

Hi Helen,

congratulations on your scan, I had mine on Monday and I was amazed at how detailed and clear everything was. It's a fabulous feeling isn't it, I walked around with a big grin on my face for the rest of the day!!

Take care

Love Julie xx

Hi Girls,

I too get stretchy type pains in bed at night. Helen, I am like you and toss and turn most of the night so I have to turn over really slowly and gently as well. I also get a really strange sensation where my heart is, it feels like a funny tingly feeling and I normally get it if I sit ...
