If you're uncomfortable in bed, or suffer backache, tuck one end of a v-shaped pillow between your knees to get your hips level, put the 'v' under your bump and cuddle the top. It was my midwife's idea - it also cured my insomnia.Isabelle Jacobs, 34, from Edinburgh, mum to Paul, 3 months

I was convinced the TENS machine I used wasn't working because labour still felt very painful. However, it was only when I took it off that I realised it had been effective, as I could feel the difference. It got me through the first few hours until I got in the pool, where my baby was born. Michelle, mum to Sam, 6 weeks

Before you go out and buy lots of expensive maternity clothes, have a good rummage through your wardrobe. You'll probably be surprised at how much stuff can be adapted or worn a little differently to still fit you!Natalie, mum to Bobby

Ditch as much of your housework as possible and don't stress because the house is a mess or there's ironing to do. Your baby will sense you're calm and, with luck, he'll be calm, too. I know it worked for me - Daniel is a chilled-out, happy baby!

He heh... this is fun, but not to be taken too seriously:)
mr.john
one way to find out if it is going to be a boy or a girl is to take a pencil and tie a string on the ened of it and have someone hold it over your belly button start with it being completely still and if it goes it circles its a boy and a line back and forth it is a girl now this dont just go for the baby you are pregnant with it will start with the first one you had and go like if you had a boy then a miscarage and now you are pregnant it will show a boy then it will show what the micsarage is then it will show what you are having now it really does work we have tried it on someone with 7 kids more then once and it shows the ame thing every time try it for your self to see what your miscarage was or what your next will be.
