I don't have one, but I should lol! I have a few friends who swear by it. I also have a fear of doing it but everyone claims its painless and easy. I just haven't ever been desperate enough to buy and try one. But when your miserable in pregnancy it may just be the courage one needs to try �� I also have lots of success with using a few drops eucalyptus EO in coconut oil and then rubbed on my chest or feet. Also cut up onion near bed, sounds weird and it smells gross but if you can bear the smell it's produced good results for me.

Lol I'm in the same boat where it completely creeps me out, but man, feeling this crappy can't be half as bad as using a damn netti pot. My step-MIL gave me some EO to put in my feet (theives maybe?) and a mix of others. I think it worked a bit!

Question ladies - I feel like my uterus has been contracting off and on lately. It's not really painful, but uncomfortable? I always think it might be baby moving (maybe it is?) and then I feel my uterus and it's rock hard! Almost like after sex and having O. I'm 19+2, is this contractions? Normal? I have my anatomy scan next Tuesday (although still staying team green [emoji6]) so I will ask next week but wanted to check with you ladies.

Totally normal! It's called Braxton Hicks contractions. They are harmless but can be uncomfortable/painful. It happens as your uterus grows to prepare it and baby for delivery! Don't be surprised if they increase or get stronger the closer you get to your due date!

If you don't like a Netti pot (I hate them!) you can try the Neil Med Sinus Rinse kit. It is a squeeze bottle that you put distilled water that has been warmed and one of their premixed packets (it's an isotonic solution when mixed). You control how much pressure is exerted and the water goes up and over your septum and out the opposite nostril. It cleans the sinuses well and more thoroughly than a Netti pot. Any grocery store or Pharmacy carries them. It is over the counter. I always rinse my sinuses with it when I feel a cold coming on. I haven't gotten sick yet and there have been 4 NASTY colds that went around my house!!

When is your next scan? I need to know what you are having [emoji38]! I'm so happy for you [emoji4]!!

Thanks on both accounts XX! I got nervous thinking that Braxton Hicks could lead to preterm labor (it just seems so early!). Glad to know my uterus is expanding - at 20 weeks I basically still have no bump - maybe it will just pop soon! [emoji4]

I may need to get the sinus rinse kit! DH now has my cold and you ladies know how it goes when they're sick. Nevermind the fact that he could take all sorts of medicine to feel better and get through the day. But I think this sounds great - I will have to keep up with this simply because it may be a LONG winter if it's already starting!!

Next scan is Jan 5th! It's the "big" one so I've been thinking about how I'm going to get a sneak peek? I'd like to think when she's just moving the wand around we'll see SOMETHING!

Hi taytum :) I tried to pm you but it failed to send. I was wondering if you still have a pic of your bfp chart? From memory you had a huge dip below coverline prior to your bfp? Is there any chance you could send me the pic if you still have it? Have someone in our current group who's had an out of the ordinary huge dip and just want to show that it doesn't always mean af is coming......
Sorry for thread crashing ladies!!! Hope you are all well and I'll keep popping in and spying on you all lol!

I jumped on for just a second today Pbn3, but SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! [emoji322][emoji322][emoji177][emoji177] Feel free to pop in here as well - I'm sure I'll stalk you in your due date thread!

I still do actually! I'll pop over to 2WW and post - I've had a dip with both of my BFP charts. [emoji4]
