Right I have done it.

Here is the new thread!!!
Arti good luck for the meeting, really really hope you get the right result and they book you for the MLU. And waaah at you MW suggesting a sperm OJ shock

chutney "a hand in my fanny" grin I should be so lucky! wink

KMP I've got some lovely soft lounge pants from these people -

http://www.hush-uk.com/index_index.php

not cashmere but brushed cotton theyt're lovely and warm. In fact today I'm wearing a pair of mens size m/l that are officially DHs but they fit under the bump better blush If you use the code BDAY5 you get 15% off as well
OMG - "mix it with orange juice"!!!!!! shock bleauuuuurrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhh. Your midwife is either an inspired comedian or a sadist!

kmp I have the blocked nose thing - particularly at night - and it drives me demented. I got some of those nasal strips (verrrry sexy) and they are weird, expensive, but do help. chutney's right though and it is just a normal pregnancy thing. The plus side is that as soon as you have the baby, symptoms like that and the bruised bone just disappear! (To be replaced by sore nipples, swollen boobs and ouchy bits... but hey, who's complaining? grin)

I'm also not sure what to do today. DD is in nursery this afternoon and I feel this time before the baby arrives is soooo precious - what I ought to be doing is napping/sleeping - but I am just burbling about on here... Was going to make and freeze some casseroles but just can't be bothered!

Arti I use to live in W6! right near Charing x! I'm having a CS so does that mean i'll be in a diff section after? Or will i be where you are? I'm clueless!
Kayz - My midwife told me about the benefits of oral sperm intake! She said if I did not feel "romantic" I could ask DH to desposit in a cup and then mix it with orange juice shock. A friend tried a sperm milkshake to no avail. I think I would prefer an induction!

KMP - Sorry you are feeling pants. I meant to tell you yesterday that I live in W6. I had my last baby at QCH too. How weird that we could be in adjacent beds and not know it. We will have to think a a secret wink!

On weeing. I so want to do a satsifying wee. Do you know what I mean? I feel desperate and then go and it is never satisfying because there is so little there. I just want to do a proper big wee blush.

I am very nervous sitting here. The Head of the Birth Centre at the hospital is calling me in teh next 15 mins to hear my case for going to the MLU. This is my last ditch attempt at an appeal. Aarrrrgghhhh.

yeah Chutney I did that this morning - got blanket, pillow etc, drink, put on Jeremy Kyle and just couldn't get comfy on couch - then dog kept waking me up as she wanted her spot on the couch. Normally I would get mad and lock her in the kitchen where her bed was, but I feel guilty as I haven't walked her very often and she just wanted pats!Is anyone watching 'thismorning' - they are showing all those pants that hold your bulges in - i will need to invest in some sad I am badly wanting some cashmere tracky pants (jog pant / bottoms ?) not sure what you call them in the uk - lounge wear? lol! M&S have them for £99!! shock that's silly and i'm not thinking straight right? anyone know where i can get some for less? perhaps cashmere blend?? they just have to be really soft smile and stretchy..... gosh i'm rambling...

I can't read!!!

I thought Chutney had written "Sorry you are fanny pants". I am now laughing so much my sides hurt!!!

Just found out something interesting. You know how sperm has prostaglandins in it which can cause contractions. Well it work better if absorbed through your stomach. If you get my driftwink

JJ - the potty thing is inspired! I know I'd kick it over though. It reminds me of being at uni and getting locked out of my room wrapped only in a towel shock on a pissed nocturnal wee trip, after which I had to create my own, er, facilities for such eventualities

<<suspects that no one will speak to me either or accept a cup of tea / glass of water chez mary ever again!>>

grin JJ ! I would def consider it! I have an ensuite and even then it's too far.... I always roll out of bed and 'carry' my tummy to the toilet, moaning all the way! I want a cathetar!
