Heart - A few of the photographers I looked at did a complementary maternity shoot when you booked a newborn shoot. Could be worth looking into?
Pup - here is the one I got.

Pups, this is the one I bought:
www.amazon.co.uk/PILLOW-PLEASURE-BI...1A8U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1332970138&sr=8-1
It looks the same as croy's and hopeful's.
In real life I don't think it takes up quite as much room as it appears to in the picture. Also, being feather light makes a difference as it just squished or is pushed out of the way rather than squattly hogging the bed.
I have a different pillow for breast feeding, which a friend gave me. It is made of foam and has a flat top.

Hopeful, we're papayas in week 24 too. I just saw someone's ticker who's 24 weeks. Boo to being the same fruit for 3 whole weeks!
They didn't tell me how much my baby weighed. How do they weigh them? I hope your cervix is super long and closed!
I'm having pillow envy.

Croy, you are tiny! I'm 37 inches and so is Davies! Although after lying down so much I lost about 2 inches, but seemed to have regained it.
Thanks Hopeful and Pip. They didn't give me a printout of any of the measurements and didn't tell me anything except that she was perfect and measured exactly 20 weeks and 3 days which was what I was at the time. I'll have to ask my doctor for the specifics.
I can't stop watching Baby Story while I'm at home. I assume it's similar to One Born Every Minute. It's amazing to watch women giving birth. I cry every time!
Next fruit is eggplant. I guess we'll get to see it at 25 weeks.
Oh, happy 16 weeks Jen!!!

I got my pillow yesterday, it's just one that is the length of two pillows sewn together, It was so much easier to stay on my side all night . they don't take up nearly as much room as I thought they would.
Good luck for your scan hopeful. hope those little ones are growing strong.
they told me that bubs weighed about 340g at my 20wk scan but didn't tell me it's measurements, except it's belly had a circumference of 15cm. She just said everything is perfect too.
Now to go back and catch up!

Heart - I love birth story. Even though, I know I am in complete denial about having to do it myself some day! Plus, I am 34.5 inches I didn't want to put the extra half because I had in my mind that you guys were 31 inches!! Vanity!!
I should remeasure in a day or two because being home today I ate the whole candy dish of Cadbury mini eggs! ha ha

Love the 1/2 inch vanity Croy!!!
I'm also in denial about birth. I watch these women in pain and can't fathom that will be me. It actually occurred to me today that this baby is eventually going to come out. Apparently I'm a little slow in my comprehension of how this whole pregnancy and baby thing works.
need a pillow! Heh.hopeful23456

Happy 21 weeks justw!
Happy 16 weeks Jen!
Heart- I need to start watching that show. I was asking a coworker all about c sections today, she's had two. My other coworker said for all the shit I've been thru, birth will be easy
Croy- you are tiny! I'm 41 in too.
Puppy - hope you can sleep! Dream about a pregnancy pillow

Somehow I don't think birth will be easy! Just sayin'
There is another show called Make Room for Multiples. It made me think of you. You should watch that one too.

Heart your not slow on the uptake about birth and the reality were actually gonna have to look after these babies and push them out in the near future. I'm in denial about it all. I know I'm having a baby and it's gotta come out but really the reality of it is still a bit dream like atm. I'm sure it'll hit when I'm huge, red in the face screaming at hubby driving over another pot hole at 3am trying to get me to the hospital!!
I'm also in huge denial about how hard parent hood is going to be. But'll we'll all get there and we'll all be fine, right!
Heart it's just a normal shaped pillow thats twice as long and soft. I'll try take a pic.
I was reading back and saw some of you are looking at mat/newborn photography. Look on facebook for local photographers or people starting photography business. I have several friends who in the last few years who have started doing family photography and they just advertise on facebook. I'm getting maternity shots done by an old friend who needs to build up her maternity portfolio, half the price too.
