I walk into the village on my own most days! If I want to get out and about and spare myself insanity I have no choice seeing as OH is at work as are most of my friends and family! Long as you take contact numbers and your mobile with you I can't see the harm really x

I go into town on my own all the time,which is a 20 min waddle there and a bus back!
I always make sure phone is charged and with credit,water and something to nibble on with me just in case i get dizzy and go to shops near the loo's lol oh an i always have a mcdonalds choc milkshake as a reward and it cools me down

As long as you know your limits you'll be fine. Town always kills me but things have to be done getting food etc.

You'll be fine.

I always go out alone. In fact, I drive long distances on my own...I am sure it will not be a problem for you to go out alone!

i think it's fine. When i'll be on maternity leave I'll be home alone, DB will be 20 mins away at work - Whats the difference?

The older generation tend to worry a lot more than us. I'm forever being given disapproving looks for painting, going up ladders (only little ones doing the nursery!!!) or for just generally living a normal life.
My neighbour told me the other day that painting is not good for the baby...oh good grief - it's not smelly paint, and paint doesnt have lead in it like it used to. I told her it was fine and she looked at me like I was rediculously modern and irresponsible...drives me nuts

i know that feeling i keepsaying im pregnant not ill and i know what i can do i know my own limits x

tinytoes

exactly. I felt my neighbour might as well have just told me I was an unfit mother. How dare she tell me I'm doing soemthing that is bad for my baby..I mean - if I was smoking yes, if I was slurping vodka yes...otherwise she can shut up. ooooh its enough to send us round the bend. Guess I'm just hormonal today.

you head off to the shops - just take your phone.

Do you have a Lush or anything similar in your town? If so I'd be making a beeline for there and indulging in a bit of retail therapy then coming home and having a nice soak in a warm bath!! But unfortunately we don't have a Lush shop in the village lol the nearest one is a good 40 minute drive away boo hoo!! x
