large bump measured!

Hi all

Saw my midwife today. She measured my bump (24 weeks) and I am in the upper percentile. She said it feels like a lot of water...I hope so!! I have only put on 12lbs so far so not piling it on really. Just got a big bump!! Lol!

Back is killing me and I walk funny...was determined not to be like that but can't help it.

Hope everyone else is ok?

I saw my midwife today too but she said she won't measure my bump until next time, she just felt it and said it was fine! I've put on over a stone with the amount of junk I consume so I'll prob have a 10 pounder! X

ah u never know when ur waters will go if they do, mine went in the middle of the night but luckily i was up anyway so no mattress ruined! hurrah!

a stone is a good amount for half way angel, thats how much ive put on so far.

Just wanted to say re: waters breaking in boots they sell disposable maternity mats a bit like the ones you get for toddlers. With DS I had one on the bed and the rest spare for either the car or post natal yuck.

I read somewhere that only about 10% of water's break before the onset of contractions, so you hopefully you should have some warning Sophie!

I think I will get some just incase - don't want to have to buy a new matress amongst everything else. Thanks for the tip for Boots. x
