    When I first joined this forum I noticed some of the girls came up with a great way to compare each others bumps- which I thot was quite funny.....

    In order for everyone to compare the size of their bump you measure it with toilety roll!! Just wrap it round the widest part of ur bump and count how many sheets it takes to go alllllllll the way roooouuuuunnnnnnddd there!!!

    I am 28 weeks today and I measure 9 sheets anyone else?????

    Lol, no wonder people say pregnancy makes you crazy! I have the opposite problem, I bought a grobag temperature egg so that I would be used to having the house at the right temp for when the baby comes and it turns out that the "correct" temp is chuffing freezing!! Its at 18c at the mo which is about perfect and I am sat in a great big jumper (took the loo roll off).

    Dont worry debbie I wondered too - think my brain disappeared completely about 10 wks ago! Hubbie & kids already think i'm mad without having to wrap loo roll round my bump!!

    If you wrap it all the way around i'm nearly 10 sheets & Im 31 wks - but everyone has told me I'm huge - including my m/w - decided it was best to try this after hubbie left for work tho my 2 yr old tried to copy me - she thought it was great fun!
