What with Kitchen then DIY-a-geddon, I've been a bit slack with the old bump watch...

"You may notice that colostrum leaks a little from your nipples – it may have been doing so for some time. It doesn't matter if you see nothing though. Some women only see it once their baby is born." NO! Thank GOD! My nipple are like the Sahara Desert! Whoop!

"Heartburn's nothing to do with your heart, and everything to do with digestion... and in pregnancy you may well get it for the first time. It's regurgitated food mixed with stomach acids, and it hurts. Ask your doctor or chemist for antacids which are safe for you to take." Don't even START me on heartburn! Nothing works, sipping milk, Rennies or industrial strength Gaviscon - back to the docs next week I think, once I've shifted this cold (so I don't give it to the whole of New Cross!

"Short of maternity tops? A comfortable option is your partner's shirts. Just roll up the sleeves." Maybe not shirts but I wear Al's clothes anyway. It's just worrying how they are starting to fit...

"You may notice the start of Braxton Hicks contractions from now on, and they may continue to the end of pregnancy. They are 'practice' contractions, which don't usually hurt (but sometimes do...)." Oh yes, and they usually happen in B&Q! I don't know if that's because I spend too much time in B&Q or Dylan has a DIY shop aversion! Painless? Yeah, if you say so!

"Your antenatal classes may start about now – you'll probably manage to complete the whole course before the birth, as they last about seven or eight weeks." Nope, start of November for me, then I have the double whammy of NHS and NCT classes - I'll be an expert by the end!
