I have a few questions as im due on April 2nd and im so so scared, but not really about the pain.. mostly due to the fact people are going to see me, near enough naked. I am so shy! its on my mind 24/7 about how embarrassed I will be. I want to be in a pool/bath through my labour.. are you allowed to wear a bikini or anything? and bottoms? obviously when i give birth I wont be able to. And also can it be just that one midwife delivering, or is it mostly quite a few people? I will be so frustrated if a load of women are looking at my you know what! along with being in all that pain. Oh god. Reassurance please?!

Im 6 months pregnant, and the other day l all of a sudden had the urge to suck a wet sponge! The smell of it was just amazing, and then I sucked the water out of it.. I would love to just chew it and eat it but obviously im not going to do that. Also the smell of clean wet washing when it comes out of the machine sets me off too! My mouth is watering at the thought of a wet sponge

I have started writing a book, and when I am finished I would absolutely love to sell copies of it of corse. The dream is to see my book on shelves but at the moment I really can't see it happening as I am completley broke, and basicly just about getting by. How on earth do I go about getting my dream? getting my book published ect?

Im playing piano music to my little girl, and she is moving around like crazy :) when my child gets older will she remember certain songs, or react to them? Basically what can playing music to an unborn baby do?

Im 20 weeks pregnant, and ive been getting Alot of movement, but its really low down.. like little kicks. But if the head is supposed to be low down, how come I can feel what is like little feet kicking me far down? or could this be her arms? I was breech, my mum was breech and so were my cousins, so can it be passed down?

What are some good romantic films? (dont have to be British, but would prefer)

And some good horror films?

Films like e.g. The Notebook, The Time travelers Wife?

Bit of a weird and different question, but I watched an episode of Darren Brown ages ago, and it was the one where he hypnotizes this guy and the guy falls asleep, and when he wakes up hes in a made up zombie game, and he thinks its real and doesn't know how he got there? also there was another one where a guy is in a plane simulator, and truly believes he is flying a plane, and saving peoples lifes, because it was going to crash?

Im 19 weeks pregnant and am hardly showing, but when my belly gets huge, and if my bellybutton pops out, will I HAVE to remove my piercing? or can I get one of those special belly bars?

This is weird, but I am convinced I should have been born 100's of years ago. e.g. in the victorian/georgian period. I am obsessed with old victorian houses and mansions, and the thought of living in one and how victorians used to dress makes me want to go back in time so bad. I am sure that im not supposed to be from these times. Why do I feel like this?

Is my blood pressure dangerously low at 80/40? Im pregnant by the way. What can I do to get it higher? should they have even let me go at the hospital when I had my midwife appointment?

I heard that it is normal for your blood pressure to drop while pregnant, but lately mine has droped alot. When it was normal and ok it was 105/80, and a few weeks later it went down to 81/40... the midwife said that if that was her, she would be passing out, and she was surpised I hadnt. In the last few days I have felt really light headed, and if I stand up for too long my head goes all dizzy and I feel sick, and have to sit down. Is there something really wrong?

I found out I was pregnant at 3 months, as soon as I found out, I quit smoking. I thought maybe I could cut down and wean myself of it and quit, but it wasn't working so I went cold turkey. I heard that after 2-3 days of quitting your craving goes but its been a month and I havent stopped craving one! its driving me nuts. I wont touch one, as im pregnant and even if someone was to shove one in my mouth, I still wouldnt but I want to know: Will I always feel this way? when will I stop craving one? ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

The time im due to fly to go on holiday I will be 22 weeks gone. Is it safe to fly? Please tell me anything I need to know :)

Im 17 weeks pregnant, and have a really really strong instinct that its a girl. Before I even knew I was pregnant I had a dream that I had a baby girl, which makes me think even more that it is. Has anyone heard of the 'nub theory'? because on my 16 week scan picture the 'nub' is pointing horizontally. I heard this means its a girl? (could be a load of rubbish) The only thing that is making me think it could be a boy is that when my mum had me, all through her pregnancy she was 100% adamant that I was going to be a boy.. but I wasn't. Has anyone else experienced this? and why do I have such a strong feeling?

I have faded red hair, which has been dyed numerous times. There is ALOT of colour build up from previous colours and now I really want a natural colour e.g. light brown or a dark blonde colour. Ive heard 'b4 colour' is really good? has anyone used it, and what do you think of it? also what other options do I have if that fails?
