Yes and Mr C lugged furniture and beds about last night while I was out since we still have the painters in - all bedrooms are topsy turvey ATM. Nothing better than getting the men to slave about. I am better at putting together IKEA flat packs than him though - I have more patience and seem to have an ability to make some sense of the pathetic IKEA drawings that they call instructions.

Seems weird you have to wait so long for results. What if iron levels are really low? I had a lot of blood tests in hospital after the last birth since I lost so much blood and results were pretty speedy - guess that was because the wanted the bed back and me outta there! I guess at 32 weeks there is still enough time to boast the levels before labour so it is not a danger they are worried about.

Hi ladies - once again a flying visit - 6 working days left until ML!! (Hence the quietness). Am also off on hols next week but in case I don't make it on here later (and I prob will now I've said that) I wanted to wish the Scan PESHes all the best for the forthcoming scans. Yet another milestone for you all - so exciting! (But I know, also terrifying).

Woohoo to 6 working days VAG!!!

b drom
I'm a mixture of doing lots of reading (my usual coping mechanism) and lots of inward menkulling about the scan (next Friday). MrM and I had a fairly frank chat about what we do if the results were not good, but had to stop the conversation part way through.

gah, formatting fail.

I iz emotional wreck. Hoss came in from field sans near fore shoe = hysterical non coping reaction. Fellow livery helped out but now need to sort out how am going to muck out and shit over the next few days. No way farrier will come out asap (they are like fricking plumbers) and I am keeping nag in as vets foot sore without. Did contemplate the nappy with duct tape option but as Its so wet out there the chance of it staying on is slim. Secondly the reason shoe came off in first place is cos the silly sods were buggering about gallopping up and down. So stupid to be so emotional it's just I feel bloody useless and hate asking other people esp as I hope to borrow a few favours when junior arrives.

muse you baby is more than likely getting everything it needs hence why you feel so wretched. As long as you are eating all will be ok. Are you taking multi vit too? I found that made me feel more human.

Silver call farrier and beg - tell him you are in dire need due to reasons you have just told us. When I got my current farrier I made it clear to him that big horse lost shoes faster than farriers could put them on, mainly down to his sheer size - he only needed to trip in the field for a shoe to just drop off. He wasn't fussed at all, and always popped past asap when he lost one. Btw, got your message on FB - just off over there now to answer it.

VAG - counting down now!

Today I had IM and osteopath double whammy. New IM is very practical and business-like. I like her a lot. She says baybee is in good position and starting to descend into pelvis. Only 4/5 atm, but it's a start! She3 also recommended to me that a small glass of red wine was good for me at this point, so I have obliged and consumed my quota for this evening already . Then I went to lovely osteo, and she did lovely things to my hips, back, shoulders, head and neck. She says she can do things to hint to the baby to get moving. I have next appointment in 2 weeks and she will start dropping hints then, on the same day my reflexologist has said SHE will start dropping hints too. I'll be 38+4 then. Hurray - let's get this show on the road!

box have called Farrier - no reply. Have sent text. Lets just hope that he is not off on his hollibobs. If he is then I'll have no choice but to look for new person.

Girl at work went off on her ML today, another goes next week. Am so envious. Totally wish it was me.

Anyone else watching the obvious plot lines that is Mistresses!? I can't bear it.

EFFING BOLLOX - DOUBLE POST. ARSE.

I was watching the bizarre Beckii, a 14 year old English schoolgirl who is a popstar in Japan.

Drom hoping all goes well tomorrow for you.

Menkullers - please stop doing this to yourselves! We all fought so hard to get pregnant, all that sex, all those precious angel baybees, ill-advised babydust et al - ENJOY your pregnancies. What will be, will be and no amount of worrying can or will change that.

medee That girl is wrong on so many levels.

VAG You're about to go on ML? How's that De Nile working out for you now?

I am fucking awake. Have come downstairs for hot choc and mumsnet. Sleep is just not fucking happening. Partially I suspect due to the fact I am raging about certain people at work who are pathetic, immature, egotistical c**ts. This is what is it like working in advertising. Seriously, I suspect a nursery full of toddlers would prepare you for the sort of skills you need to deal with the infantile self justified behaviour I experience on a daily basis. It honestly makes Mad Men look entirely professional, reasonable and quite underplayed.

Anyway this is the first time I've ever got up in the middle of the night and I am guessing not the last. Have massive presentation to write in morning (left til last minute) and I could weep at the thought of how tired I am going to be.

Poor Moo if it had been the night before I could've kept you company. Hope you got back to sleep.

Ski what's wrong with a bit of menkulling? The BESH freds wouldn't be the same without them. And gawd knows these ladies have enough bad luck in the past to be allowed a "moment" or two. I can't wait to hear their good news next week.

Am still swimming in De Nile - yesterday was last day with boss in office and she said bring the baby in...a little voice in my head said "the what?". Please to tell me this is normal until one actually sees one's child....

Everyone can be as menkul as they like, but it's not good for the soul to carry around such negativity during such a joyous event. :( IMO, too much negativity does away with the humour... and it all gets a bit "poor me" but without the "another drink". My opinion.

Just wait until people outside your home call you "mummy", you'll be swivelling your head and wondering who they're talking about!

So I post one worry about weight loss and I'm "carrying around such negativity?"

Umm, I'm really not. Yes, before a scan I get a bit worried. It's very hard not to get worried when you've been there before as they peer up your fanjo trying to find something. But that doesn't mean I'm not enjoying my pregnancy.

I'll enjoy it more when I can actually eat more than a quarter of a sandwich for my lunch. This bit of pregnancy is really not much fun. Sorry if that offends anyone. But it's very dull feeling sick all the time.

It's not like I'm sitting quaking in my boots because I had half a glass of wine last night or carried a fucking cake.

And if us new differs can't have a little menkul in the early weeks then what's the fucking point of having a Deli?

Actually that wasn't what I was referring to at all and I'm sorry you've interpreted it as such. I'm glad you're enjoying your pregnancy.

I just personally feel there can be a trend of negativity and then that leaves everyone else walking on eggshells and so they stop posting.

I really don't see any trend of negativity. Anywhere. A little bit of understandable nervousness is all.

I've read back. Medee saying she's done a bit of inward menkulling, me worrying about weight loss, problems with horses. It's not exactly doom n gloom all round.

this place is for whinging as and when in my book. Like me last night. Muse it is FUCKING SHIT feeling sick for so long, and to be honest there were days when I couldn't be arsed to post just because it would have read, yep still feel sick. If ANYTHING makes you feel better then you do it love.
ski stop winding everyone up :)I think you might have forgotten the hideousness of vomiting all the time!

Lovely, practical ski! I really admire your level headed no nonsense nature. I know you are right, but as a fellow worry-wart I know how menkullers feel. And the 12 week point is an important milestone.

TSF's Dad calls TSF's mum "Mommy".

By the way, I'm doing all this from my phone! [proud face as VAG leaps into 20th Century emotion]

CALM DOWN, everyone! There's room for all the different kinds of menkulling here. And sometimes a little bit of kindly slapping can be useful too . Sitting here in my privileged position of being extremely pregnant, on ML, bored yet to fat to get up and do anything else, I am able to sit here on my sofa and pontificate. So: Early menkullers - in my opinion there is no such thing as an enjoyable pregnancy. I hate it myself and would happily moan about it all day, but have restrained myself for OH and clucky's sakes as they are the ones who generally have to listen to it. Later PESH and FESHes are in the happy situation that they are discussing different menkalities, but sometimes menkulling nontheless (oh, yes you are! ) They have forgotten the early day menkulling as they are far too worried now about boobs and all the different kinds of bother they can cause. So have a little menkul about your scans, but try and remember that regardless of what has gone before a scan is generally something to look forward to - you get a better confimation of your diffed-ness at your scan than anything else early on.

Now: Ski I like you lots, but SLAP!!! There you go. Let them worry among themselves. It's not harming you and it can be therapeutic for them to have a little stressed gossip together. WE know they are most likely to come back in a few days and go 'ah it was lovely. My baybee flashed it's bottom at me and I suddenly found I had a gritty bit in my eye.' and we'll all be able to pat them on the back and welcome them to the club of hardened PESHes who have seen their baybee fo' real! You were just like it too

Gawd, I could have written War and Peace in the time it took me to write that! (Not helped by having abandonned the desktop in the stinky pit we call 'the dungeon' or sometimes the study, for the notebook PC on the sofa with it's microscopic keys that are not designed for fat pregnant fingers.) No doubt you've all moved on to a completely different topic like preggo orgies or something.

As for me, hips held on by knicker elastic + the world's most humungous baby writhing in my body = midnight pain and no sleep for me. Great. Got to clean the chicken sheds today - iis it mean of me to make DD do it?

I actually feel a bit better today. Still threw up but don't feel sick now. HOORAY!

See, I do positive! Also, it's the weekend.

Menkullers, be as menkul as you like! Ski's only trying to cheer you up, but this is definitely the place for not holding back how you feel and it's lovely to have a forum to let it all out when sometimes we can't tell RL people what's going on in our heads.

Bumgrape update - still there - why won't they magically disappear? Think will have to tell TSF so he understands the wincing and long hours in the bathroom. It's all passion and sex in the last trimester, isn't it?

And my other positive is scan on Monday! While a tiny bit of me menkuls the rest is all bouncing around at the thought of seeing Bob looking like a baby instead of a squid. But I am definitely nervous. And excited. And nervous. Oh I am a mess of emotion. Bloody hormones.
