    Big Yarrawin. I hope things settle for you soon. If you're sorried, maybe call your midwives at the hospital? Or OB if you have one. Better to be safe than sorry and maybe you worrying about bub is making it worse with you stressing out? Try to relax a bit hun. Sounds like things are kinda tough at the mo.

    Thanks hun, problem is no-one really knows what happens in these situations. I have an appointment on Thursday so I'm going to speak with them about it then. Obviously if she can stay in even for another week it's better but still scary. Most medical people don't really know about the condition I have - it's quite rare and my mw and the obs at the hospital don't know a huge amount about it (which is part of why I'm so scared I think... I feel like no-one knows what the hell they're doing!)

    Do you have a specialist in your condition that they can liaise with? As you say, it'd be better for bub to stay put a little while longer if she can be made safe in there. I hope the appointment on Thursday goes much better than you expect so you can worry a little less.

    Hi all, how is everyone going? I was just wondering... is there ANYWHERE I can get cheap feeding singlets? I have looked in Kmart and Target so far but their singlets don't go past a 16DD! I need at least an 18 just for starters, and I'm looking online but I really, really don't want to spend more than $30 per singlet plus postage! We're really tight on money at the moment but I wanted to wear these in hospital instead of button up nighties and I figure I'll pretty much live in them at home.

    it's just so disillusioning

    Yarrawin, if you have a Trade Secret near you, the sell some really nice, cheap and good quality ones, though I can't remember the exact price . They only usually have a few colours, I have purple and pink ones, thye come in a two pack and one is just plain, the other is stripey (white/pink and white/purple). They have magnetic clasps too. Not sure if Trade Secret is in Melbourne....? Sizes go up to at least 18 cause I remember wondering if I should get 16 or 18...I got 16's and they fit me really well with a little growing room for the booby's!

    Just googled and I don't think Trade Secret is in Melbourne. I will have to go and check out what brand my singlets are. Will let you know, maybe you can get them else where...?

    Ahurani - No, Big W is for another day... started getting quite a bit of pain when I was out so I thought it best to head home! Am thinking a quick peek at Big W is for tomorrow but given that i don't fit into anything else there now I don't hold out much hope.

    Lilias - Thanks but ARGH!!! No Trade Secret in VIC. Poo If all else fails I'll just fork out for the loveable ones but if I can find something cheaper I'll def go for it
