    HotI: yep your IM can do the heel test at home . the amazing thing is that you can BF your baby when they do it and they sleep/feed right through it! breastmilk is amazing for pain relief! i just remember DD1 screaming and being manhandled last time so the difference this time was phenomenal!

    Ash: i reckon this IM will be the one

    Thanks Hot! I have a belly belt thing which is supposed to help, dunno how much it does, but it certainly is more comfortable but a little awkward to get firm enough, particularly when you have this massive belly hanging out everywhere lol. I'm not sure how bad mine got with Elijah, but I remember the night I felt it happen, OMG the pain was rather excruciating! I'm still somewhere between 2 and 3cm I think. I just can't get it better than that. So I know that if we have another, I need to really nurture my belly right from the get go and really help it and give it as much support as I can. This is how I looked just before having Elijah lol... hmmmm massive but I did get over people being totally shocked by my belly :/ https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater you should be able to see it, I set it to public.

    Wow Ozzie, that is one impressive belly! No wonder you have muscle separation - there is only so far they can go before something has to give!

    Beansbeans, I hope that your appointment goes well

    I BF through the heal ***** all three times and they all screamed anyway
