I have opened the virtual gin, found the Desperate Romantics and am about to start playing I've Never. Who's with me?

Why did I decide to experiment with not taking my anti-puke pills on a weekend involving pendolino trains? Thank god I wasn't too far from the loo. Puke city.

rocketleaf · 09/10/2010 12:17

Oh god they make me nauseous at the best of times, actually you have clarified what this feels like. Its JUST like motion sickness, raggedy edge pukiness with slight headache and the urge to sleep. Poor muse I hope at least you are going somewhere nice so the journey will be worth it.

Scorpette · 09/10/2010 12:40

Ah, so you've stopped wishing you could get a spot of morning sickness, eh, RockyRoad? Grin Poor you - have you tried ginger?

Have you been walking the streets of Liverpewl in a sugar-pink velour tracksuit with huuuuge rollers in your hair? I refuse to believe you've not Wink

rocketleaf · 09/10/2010 12:47

haha you just described PERFECTLY a girl who left just as I arrived, doen to the colour of track suit. No I just have an inch of bouff on top of my head (an inch too much IMO)

RE: MS (why is it called that? mine is in the avo/evening) I know I deserve everything I get for getting panicky last week. I got a leaflet that suggested ginger biscuits from the MW the other day, it was full of all sorts of lovely patronising stuff you lot would just LOVE, not to mention recommending taking multi vitamens such as Pregnacare. And surprise surprise who do you think have funded this little gem?

ChoChoSan · 09/10/2010 13:28

There is NO WAY I would go without dying my hair for 9 months...Cruella De Ville look wouldn't suit me.

Medee · 09/10/2010 13:49

Pregnacare - the tablets which, to a woman, have done more to induce MS than anything else. I tried one again the other day, and it made me gag (first gag in ages.)

rocketleaf · 09/10/2010 13:58

i am still taking my pregnacare conception, they dont really bother me anymore. When they are gone its back on plain old folic acid (i have millions of them)

Scorpette · 09/10/2010 14:36

Not Pregnacare, but the differd-tabs from Higher Nature, which are approximately the size of Uraguay and you have to take 3 a day, are what took me from nausea to vomming Angry Gawd, just the thought of them is making me pull a face and feel my stomach flip with spewicity...

Hairdressers always want to give me a neat, shiny straight blow-out. I have crazy bag lady wavy hair so thick that I've actually broken 3 pairs of hairdressers scissors with it in the past (yes, really). It doesn't look like me and it lasts all of ten minutes before I start to look like I have the worst growing-out home perm the world has ever seen Angry They also try to do the layers too short and too thick, which makes me look like I've got about 6 different haircuts on one head. I'm going again in a fortnight - have just got my gal doing it perfect when she's moved to Leeds Sad Will have to train some other poor, unsuspecting fool in The Way of Scorpette's Hair. Expect tears. There was less work put into the discovery of the human genome than it takes to get my fringe to my satisfaction Grin (I expect a great haircut and pay loads because then I can do the bare minimum with it for the next however many weeks )

Rocket, does your hair co-ordinate with your baby blue knitted Uggs? Wink

Muser · 09/10/2010 15:35

We have been visiting TinyNephew. He is very tiny. No cuddles or touching allowed, but lots of gazing.

CUNextTuesday · 09/10/2010 15:42

For first timers: my doula has sent through a write up of my birth shiz. No idea if it would help anyone to have a butchers but I'm happy to email it to anyone, especially if you are hippo or water birthing.

Scorpette · 09/10/2010 16:48

Ooooh, Cunty I'd be VVV interested. Not just because I wanna go the hippo n water route, but because I'm really into prurient info about your vagina Grin Wink Can you FB it me or do ya want my email address?

rollerbaby · 09/10/2010 16:52

Cunty that would be ace. I shall fb you my email address forthwith.

Muser lovely news on your nephew! Hope everyone is doing ok in your family.

Scorps you broke scissors???? Jaysus lady you have hair o'steel. I have the total opposite - hair of candy floss. It takes about 13 seconds to cut AND blowdry my hair. Pathetic. Still I insist on paying a gazillion pounds every 3 months to maintain the charade.

On the preggo vits, I have been a bit lazy in late 2nd-3rd trimesters. Take them when I remember... but I have been eating from all the food groups so hopefully my baybee will be OK. Topping up on the iron now though... v important according to mrs mw.

ginny mw was v nice and knowledgable but unfortunately is sending me to mr consultant on weds for a stern warning on the risks of homebirth due to the massiveness of my baybee. I have to say we are beginning to waver a bit as a result. Having packed all my hospital bags yesterday I keep thinking, so long as I stay at home as long as possible and then get to do hospital jacuzzi/hippobirthing I would be happy. And if there are any adverse happenings we are in the right place. Oh I don't know... Let's see what he says on Weds. I iz living the cape action from Topshop.

Just back from last NCT group session with a diary full of dates for meet ups. I really like our group and think there will be lots of laughs. One girl is a little bit of a scatterbrain though to put it politely and actually asked if they changed the water in the hospital pools Confused. Maybe it is Kiki in RL.

Sorry - all me, me, me. Hope you all have a super duper weekend. I have Milk Tray and X Factor night ahead...

okie where are you luvver???? Are you laying a baybee?

CUNextTuesday · 09/10/2010 17:49

Can't attach a Word doc to FB message so FB me your emither address bitch Grin

ginhag · 09/10/2010 17:52

cunty I am also fascinated by your nethers Grin

actually though I would be v interested to read as is gonna (I bloody hope) be such a different experience this time. In many ways tis the first time for me really (I say that to all the girls Wink)

So I dunno, pm me or fb me or write it on a pigeon or summat.

honey big decision... And most important thing is that you do what makes you feel safest and most confident I think. Hope it goes well with consultant whatever you decide.

Btw the bras you mentioned are tops ime too, I nearly kissed the woman who sold me one last time I was pg. This time vie just had to cut off the inner strap bit that holds it together when you wop your buzzwam out, as it has been irritatating my boobs beyond belief!!

CUNextTuesday · 09/10/2010 17:53

x-post - that was meant for scorps. Not that you ain't ma bitch too moo

Scorpette · 09/10/2010 18:33

Ya-yy..? I'm... Cunty's ... bitch ? Confused Nah, you knows I loves it, slaaaag. Will send you me email biz asap.

Honey, have sent you an old pic of my hair! Sadly, my hair is no longer as mental as it used to be. It fell out when I was at my illest in my 20s and grew back darker, less curly and not as thick. I mean, it's still ridiculously thick but at least I don't look like I'm wearing a long novelty afro wig anymore and I can actually fit a hair bobble around it Hmm

SilverSky · 09/10/2010 18:42

tues I too am interested in your experience. Plz to email me too.

Have had a weird afternoon, felt very dizzy but didnt pass out. Then felt bit lightheaded again. Called the hossie, who said Stop worrying you silly mare, take a pill. Call back when you are having contractions.

Well that that was the jist. Worry not ye PESH. Chillax.

Dinners in the microwave and its all about Strictly and XFactor ce soir pour moi.

rollerbaby · 09/10/2010 19:53

Silver put DOWN the cinzano you little lush.

Scorps you used to haz pre raphaelite hair I can only dream about... or I could buy a wig.

cunttteeee bitch slaps all round!

ginster those bras are like heaven for norks. You iz right. See what consultant says and then more deliberation. I just dunno anymore, I can't even decide what to have for dinner let alone baybee names and where to give birth.

Curry and beer.

CUNextTuesday · 09/10/2010 20:09

CUNextTuesday · 09/10/2010 20:14

rollerbaby · 09/10/2010 20:23

CUNextTuesday · 09/10/2010 20:30

SilverSky · 09/10/2010 20:40

Fanks for the article. I iz strictly not pushing nothing. Yet.

Feel like I got a bloody foot stuck in my rib. Junior is wanting to us my ribs as a soddig springboard! As s/he is engaged then clearly this is one tall/long person. Shite.

CUNextTuesday · 09/10/2010 20:43

Rastus was so long that his feet were still in my oesophagus when his head had crowned Grin
