No worries Clover - only sorry it took me so long inbetween catastrophe after catastrophe here and not actually physically being able to get to Post Office. I can't tell you how proud I was to be able to get in my little car and drive to the Post Office now we've moved.

If you're taking it off because of daggy embarrassment factor - DON"T. Not worth it.

And remember, the belt will stop pain from starting but it won't stop pain once it has started. If you're in pain, ICE, ICE, ICE.

I am currently going to bed with an icepack between my legs and a hot wheat pack on my back. Took me a while to work out that my bad back was just a run-of-the-mill pregnancy bad back, not a pelvis-related bad back so best to use heat on it. Don't know if I'm Arthur or Martha I tells ya. And it's minus 4 degrees here so if anyone tells me that they can't ice because it's too cold, I will tell them they are a wuss
