Hi everyone! Is anyone else carrying big and having an issue with people saying things like wow! You are really big for 23 weeks or are you sure it’s only one baby in there.

Was your sweep successful at 40 weeks?

Bit of an embarrassing one but I have such a craving for chocolate and I have just binged through absolutely LOADS (and did so yesterday too) and now I’m super paranoid how bad that will be for my unborn baby (15 weeks 3 days).
