I've been for my 24 week check up with the midwife this week, and she is happy with my progress. The swollen ankles aren't a sign of anything untoward like pre-eclampsia which is a relief! And actually my blood pressure was on the slightly low side, which is what it normally is anyway!
I even had my bump measured, but not around the middle like I thought but from top to bottom! And apparently the size is spot on, so all my worries about my bump not being very big were all for nothing (that was a couple of weeks ago though)! Recently I've been feeling like a bit of a frump, especially with wearing Marks clothes which don't really flatter a pregnant bump. So I've been for a visit at the shop I mentioned before, Jojo Maman Bebe and bought some proper maternity clothes and a winter coat. I had such a lovely time, the ladies were all really helpful and I came out with a smile on my face. So next time we have a bump photo shoot I'll put one of my new tops on :)

You look lovely - great t-shirt :) I was given one that said 'Optima Mater' and I wore that lots throughout my pregnancy! Wonder where it went? (I digress....) Look forward to seeing your new clothes in future pics!
You look great! New clothes will be lovely as you go forward...you'll only be getting bigger from here. :) Don't fret too much about the photos - we managed about every other week with my first pregnancy and now, by the third time around, I think we've only taken three 'official' bump pictures so far.
so pleased the swollen ankles are nothing serious Gem! and really chuffed you've bought some pretty maternity clothes, it's a time to celebrate your bump and feel good about yourself!
