I had very bad hip pain (only at night) during my first pregnancy and in order to avoid getting it as badly this time around I ordered a memory foam mattress topper - a friend of mine said it was a lifesaver when she was pregnant.


And of course I now read lots of negative comments about memory foam being toxic (either the chemicals that help it behave like memory foam or the strong fire retardants used to keep it from combusting as it's highly flammable material). We won't ever let our kids sleep on it but would you use it during the second and third trimesters of your pregnancy?


I need to google a bit more and find some research backed articles about it (so far I've only seen strong pro and anti camps online) but it would be great to get some input from a community that seems to talk lot of sense about other topics as well :)


Any opinions welcome.... thanks in advance

It's actually a mattress topper / mattress pad that I put on top of my normal mattress (to save money) but yes I guess it's (almost) the same material as the tempur mattresses. Your children certainly don't seem to have been affected by it! ;)

Thanks, if it comes back (I'm ok right now but only 17 weeks) I'll go see him - I'll try anything to be able to actually walk to the loo at night without having to do five minutes of stretching first!

We have a memory foam mattress, can't recall exactly when we got it, but it was def on the bed whilst I was pregnant with my youngest and made a massive difference to my hip and back pain. We co-slept a lot at the start too and she is a 15 month old picture of health and mischief now.

I’m sure we will all agree that it’s great Southwark is listening to businesses. “This request came from the businesses on Lordship Lane, informing Highways that they have large vehicles coming to collect and deliver goods from the business which causing an obstruction as vehicles are parked both sides of the entrance and opposite resulting into the vehicle having to block the whole road and cause obstruction.” “Officers attended site and met with the local business to discuss what would be the best solution to allowing the large vehicles to drop off and collect without obstructing and blocking the road off. As a result, it was agreed that double yellow lines will allow space for loading/unloading without obstructing the road.”   a Officers attended site and met with the local business to discuss That isn’t true, so long as the driver is actually loading (ie not shopping nearby).
    • Thanks very much, that's really interesting. I feel better about the shredded paper not being recycled now! And even better that I can get it out of the house and into the green bin! I will save a bit for future composting though  (and homemade seed paper, thanks Peckhamgatecrasher) x
