adverts.ie for very reasonable stuff if you don't mind going second hand and are not too fussy. Next had some ok stuff too.
Do not order mothercare online - 33 days later and no delivery. I called again today to find out that they attemted delivery 3 times which is absolute twaddle, I'm here all day, every day and have the hearing of a bat - and two very protective dogs who draw attention to every single car that even slows down when passing the house :rolleyes:.
The package has now been returned to them. My money was supposedly refunded. If I had not called, I would have known nothing. Useless.
So, I'm now on the lookout for maternity stuff too because hubby wants his slouchy tracksuits back

Actually I may start stealing hubby's trackie bottoms for the house as mine are way too tight at the band.
As an aside, you know how I'm whinging that I've gained too much for 17 weeks (10lbs) per a certain site. Well another says you should have gained 10-12 by 18 weeks (which is Saturday for me)
Feck it I'm just going to eat when I'm hungry and be done with the worrying. 0 -

kiwi2011, hope you're ok! This pregnancy business is one fright after the next!!
I talked to my GP and she said that she knows my consultant personally and though he has an "awful bedside manner" (understatement) that he's one of the best that she knows. Apparently as a doctor he's quite good, not much consolation. She said that she would have all her faith in him and that if he scanned the area, even just for a second he would know if something serious was wrong at this stage. I'm still going to get a private second opinion asap just to put my mind at ease. I've transferred from the midwifery led clinic to the consultant led just in case, though the consultant said it wouldn't be a problem to go with the midwives. I just don't think I fit in to the low risk category any more though. Anyway, I have my scan in two weeks & my next appointment will be under a different consultant, just by chance. So we'll see how that goes.
My GP said not to lift a finger for the rest of the pregnancy. The only thing I can do is swim & that's because I swim very regularly anyway so I have my OH, mum and sister warned that I'm gonna be a very lazy bit** for the next five months
Luckily that my main work involves writing a phd which I can do from bed anyway so here's hoping things go ok! 0 -

Just waiting at my Gps for a check up! would u believe it but yesterday I slipped at the top of the stairs and fell the entire way down on my back and now Im Black and blue! Hope everything ok. :-(
How did your check up go, if you went down on your back, I'd say everything is fine.
This is my worst nightmare as I'm very clumsy and have fallen down stairs at home & in public numerous times
My hubby has banned me from wearing certain slippers as they are more slippy than usual.
Haven't had any falls *touch wood* since preg but I think I've been uber careful0 -
Javagal Zoey Belle is beautiful name
Our family is close as well (even if they are far) and they all are involved a lot. My parents in law already bought a lot of staff for baby.
I'm 18 weeks now and I'm worried that I didn't feel baby yet.
I know I still have some time but...
Hi all,
Saurelin - will be good to meet u too and put a face to one of the names! Don't be worried, we have the same due date and I am yet to feel a flutter - have been getting a weird tickly feeling just below my belly button, not sure if its baby or not.. i figure when baby is ready to make his/her presence felt they will do so and not a minute before so there's no point stressing.. About work have you tried phoning the citizens advice centre - they are usually really helpful and will have up to date info on legal issues and welfare entitlements - might be worth a shot...
Javagal - love the name it's fab - you're family must have been so excited!!! I hit the shops yesterday and got some clothes that actually fit... Got a few lovely tops and a dress in new look, a couple of nice drape cardigans in mango , couldn't get any jeans long enough for me in shops, but found some lovely ones on new look website with extra long legs, so ordered two pairs and another dress - may have gone a bit overboard
Kiwi - you poor thing, you must have gotton an awful fright, hope GP appointment went well and put your mind at ease...
post bump exercise thread - count me in, think i will need all the help i can get!
And unfortunately yes on the swollen ankles
if u can find the time elevating them is supposed to help!
Talk soon

I got some stuff off new look today and I'm gonna send stuff from matalan to my aunt in the uk for her to bring home.
If anyone wants to order stuff from new look I get the online student discount!
Never even thought of Matalan and I was in Belfast twice this week will check it out now!
Still no bump anyway just getting fat, all I want is Indian food (the reason I was in Belfast) not really a low calorie choice. My friend keeps laughing at my food baby cause my stomach area is so massive it looks like the babies there and my little cousins keeps poking and rubbing it! 0 -

Hi everyone, was away at the wkend so haven't been on in a few days.
Then got struck down by that wretched tummy bug on Sunday...unusual for the two of us to be sick at the same time but Boyf had the symptoms a few hours after I first did!
It's literally a 24-hour thing. Grand today and back in work.
Saurelin, your boss sounds like an ass.
I didn't know the HSE were so strict with med certs, you wldnt think it the way some docs hand them out!
My own GP told me at my first appt that if I ever needed a day off because I was so exhausted, just call into him! I've never taken him up on the offer, but I think it helped to have that in the back of my mind.
Just because you're not sick enough to be hospitalised, doesn't mean ur well enough to be working either.
Boyf is getting all paternal and responsible on me - we applied for life assurance last night and he wants to take out a pension. Because of his illness, he's afraid that his life has been shortened and wants me and babs looked after.
His medical history is complicated, but he's fine now so we're waiting to hear if the company will insure him. The fact that he needs surgery sometime in the future might work against him, even tho he might not have it for 20 years.
Fingers crossed for him, because it's something that's very important to him.
Week 20 now....feel like I'm over on top of the hill and it's all countdown from here. Can't believe it's passing by so quickly 0 -

Kash,
I'm not sure, I had sort of the same discussion with the OH a few weeks back. He wanted us to go to his sister's 40th in June & when I said I had no intention of driving 4.5 hours there & 4.5 hours back for a party when I'm 8 and a half months pregnant he said "oh that's a pity but I understand, I won't drink so if anything happens I'll come straight back up to you!" I don't think he realised what he was saying at that stage he presumed the baby would come out bang on the 8th!! Luckily after the last few doc visits he has no intention of going anywhere without me
It's completely up to you though. Maybe you could get your mum / sister / friend to stay with you for the few hours & be on standby just in case. You could get your OH to keep checking his phone and leave straight away if anything does happen. If it's 3 hours away max then he should make it to the hospital before the baby does!!0 -

I can't turn it on my college computer,
but here is my belly!!
I had a very toned stomach before i got pregnant so I think I'm huge!!
Ah, you're very good. I think I am bigger though my boobs are massive too.
I wouldn't have had a very toned stomach before, not since I had my daughter 11 yrs ago, but it was fairly flat. I am heavier than you anyway, so I'd say that's why I have a bigger belly!0 -

Looks exactly like my belly bump and I'm 17 1/2 wks preg (the 1/2 is very important).
Cute top by the way
it's my very first maternity top!! got it in new look for like 9euro!
I am putting on most the baby weight on my legs and arse, so much so that mammy java said "You must be having a boy with all the new weight in your arse"
Wrongo mammy!
Silly, I'm pretty tall also(about 5ft10) so If ya take it all into consideration, we're probably all in around the same size..0 -
Thanks ladies - I think i'm just being crazy.
I've explained this craziness to hubby, and now he's more concerned than me - he's just found out the up to 1 in 5 babies are born premature, and 70% of those are born in weeks 34-36.
But as you say, as long as he checks his phone, and I can have someone on call, it should be fine. I did tell him that if he misses the birth, I will kill him and live off the insurance money
Silly, i've posted my belly as well, I was a good bit bigger than java to begin with, and think I am massive now - with gigantic knockers to boot! I'm just accepting it - i'll deal with the weight after the baby is born.
Please ignore the uber stylish hubby pants, and the menagerie of beasties 0 -

Mink remember as you are pregnant you are protected by law and they can't let you go just like that, so fingers crossed that everything will be fine.
I talked to Citizen Information and they confirmed my findings re my company obligations towards me.
So I feel a little bit better about it but on the other side I'm not sure what to do - ask my gp for longer sick leave or go back to work and deal with my boss.
Anyway I have a consultant appointment on Thursday in hospital so I hope they will let me know why I still didn't gain even a single pound! 0 -

I'm loving the baby bumps
I tried to maternity clothes shop today (because I stupidly washed the one pair of jeans and one tracksuit pants that fit me at the same time Sunday!) and all I bought was 1 stupid top. All there is in Tralee is Mothercare which has a stupid sale and the clothes were stupid sale clothes, Next and Red Herring. I bought a top.. I wouldnt mind but I have two confirmations in the next few weeks might buy from New Look online or something!! Anyone any other ideas for (inexpensive) nice dresses?
Was at doc again today: I'm back down to 5 pounds under my stupid pre pregnancy weight: and come July I bet I won't be able to shift a pound
That's the stupid vomiting in mornings and at night again: apparently my uterus is still a fine healthy size though so babs is fine
I'm not going back to work for another few weeks again: apparently just cuz I'm well enough to drive and feel stir crazy does not mean I'm well enough to work much and all as I (and probably my boss at this stage) might want to go back!!
Kiwi I'm so glad everythings okay: you must have been so worried.
Kash I wouldn't want my husband going either: he didn't go to rugby matches in Limerick when I was sick just in case: he IS going to one Easter Sunday on the condition i decamp to my mothers house for the day: he's more nervous than I am!!0 -

Kash!! Cute babies!!
Is that a gsd cross??Gorgeous!!
your belly is not that much bigger than mine though is it?
your knockers are much gianter tho!!
There's a bit of GSD in her, but they're both ladies of mixed heritage. Can't wait to see how they take to the baby, all three sleep in our bedroom currently - need to start changing that habit now I think.
Fingers, toes and eyes crossed for you Mink - try not to worry in the meantime, hopefully they will tell you tomorrow.Keep your fingers crossed, don't want to be looking for a job with my big belly and no redundancy to cushion the blow.I wouldnt mind but I have two confirmations in the next few weeks might buy from New Look online or something!! Anyone any other ideas for (inexpensive) nice dresses?
I bought from newlook online today, they had some lovely cute dresses for under 30 euro. I was pretty happy.Girls when I say I`ve no bump I mean -
Jeez - you do have no bump!! There was a girl like you at my antenatal class too, pregnanacy comes in all shapes and sizes 0 -
