The PESH Deli - Going MAD for Hallowe'en.

[Scorpette]

Tales from the dark side, from a coven of evil hags obsessed with ghoulies. Hellish talk of FJ and puke will chill you to the marrow. Unspeakable horrors from our uterine crypts do creep - but thankfully, we're also having baybees...

So come on in and leave your broomsticks and pointy hats by the door!

pollypocket I misread your post and thought you called moomoo your VIRGIN twin!!

No more period pains tho if I am sat upright (instead of larding on sofa) I feel immense pressure on my fanjo.

I got two days off nag duties so junior now has permission to arrive by Friday.

HI, under duress, rubbed cream into my horrid feet. Was quite nice. Could do with a pedicure and getting my eyebrows seen to before the big day.

moo I love Crunchies and I am not fussy about what day of the week I scoff em, I don't restrict myself to Fridays ya know.

Lovely news about your scan drom, really great x

I'm onto the mini maltesers now.

I can't remember the last time I was a virgin. A looooooong time ago.

More cramps under bump - but really slight, not that bad at all... oh god, I wish I knew when this baybee was coming! I'm thinking of going to westfield tomorrow to get him a-moving. smokie wanna come?

Great news about the scan drom thats so lovely! and the heart beat styffy weren't we sharing NEXT sunday in the moo sweepstake? [hwink] So we are still in the running.

muse i think you are WELL within your rights to moon over your scan picture for as long as you like. You have a real life baybee inside you!

I have a question about 'morning' sickness. I am having muchos dry heaving at the mo but no actual substance although feels just on the edge. (sorry) Would I feel better if I actually threw something up or should I just count myself lucky? The constantness of it is really wearing me down as even eating doesn't really help for longer than about 15 minutes. I felt ok yesterday JUST but I think that because I skived of work and slept for most of the day, being in work is really quite tough.

Just popping in to make sure I don't miss any exciting Silver or Moo action. We're waiting for you on the other side!

It's been very quiet, I think baybees are being laid.

Poor Rocket, that sounds exactly like what I've been having. Mine got worse after 6 wks and I did start vomming. It does feel better for about 40 mins... although that's not cheering, is it?

I've started eating normally again, with a few more snacks, instead of 'little and often' and that's made me feel much better - think my stomach copes better with a lot to deal with, for some reason.

I think the only advice anyone can give is that you just need to work out what works for you - what foods can you stomach, how often you need to eat, what types of liquids make you feel better or worse, etc. I find chips work and also ice-cream (not together, natch) and I can keep cheese down fine (for me, ice-cream is no-sugar vegan stuff and cheese = goat's, but it's the same principle).

I've also found that pg vom is different from normal spew, ie chunkier, which is not only gross, but makes me worry about choking sometimes, as it seems to come out for ages without letting up for air and I once nearly did choke on some vomit after a friend made a joke whilst I was throwing up and I laughed (we were 19)

It's rubbish, isn't it? Just gotta keep focusing on the pay-off

Scorps speaks wisely rocket, you just have to experiment and see what works for you. I did not find that puking made me feel better when my sickness was rampaging. I just went straight back to feeling sick, which was the most depressing thing.

As I mostly throw up first thing I do not get that chunky problem thankfully. There is never anything to throw up. Which means its bloody painful as my stomach tries to find something to eject. Ah, bile.

drom Massive congratulations on your scan today! :)

It is indeed a race - and the elbows are being sharpened I fear - although, where is silver
? She's normally an early morning gal.

switty Do you need any girl's clothes? curly and I have a friend who lives between you and I who laid a girl in July and is trying to offload about a billion little girl's things... let me know if you'd be interested.

alipally I iz here. No insomnia last night and as not got to get up for the hoss no alarm was set and I think my bod was grateful for it.

Last night's cramping amounted to nothing.

HI did a massive tidy up last night cos I mentioned that if the cramps turned into something I don't want to come back to a messy house! Clearly my trickery worked! Still need to dust the tv. Today's boring chores consist of dawg walking and a trip to the shops oh and I I can stretch to it one ye old big momma sneeze. Plz to not rely on the sneeze occurring today.

witty you dark horse you! Quietly dilating off radar! Sure you've not given birth in the night ??

witty I can't believe you iz 1 cm dilated. Beatch. I bet you've had your slime prop an all.

Nuffink here. Lots of painful BH and some cramps overnight, in fact light cramps now, but nuffink else. I think this could go on and on really. It's not really building to anything.

silver my shopping date has cancelled and dog has poorly leg so I can't even walk the little mutt! I'm basically getting dressed today, but then again maybe not.

Mr Moo slept in the spare room last night - first time in 9 months. I think I may have been a bit of a bitch before bedtime. Anyhoo twas not the same waking up in the night and having no one to moan to. Dog had more space though, so he was happy.

Tee hee, yes I am quite sneaky. But I did a bit of googling and found loads of people saying things like "I was one cm dilated at 36 weeks and the baby didn't arrive 'til 40+4" so apparently it does not mean an awful lot. No sign of the slime prop, thank God. I did briefly think maybe my waters were breaking this morning. But it was the the increased discharge in the third trimester that all the books talk about. So I still consider myself very much an outside bet .

AP thanks for the offer on the girl stuff, but we have two friends here who have recently had little girls and who gathering things up for us, so I reckon we are pretty much set! We don't have tons of storage room either, so I don't want babyje's wardrobe to be too extensive... Very sweet of you to think of me though.

styffy that was lovely news on the heartbeat. How amazing! And congrats on the wedding and honeymoon too.

moo like you another quiet day in paradise. Even junior is quiet perhaps tired from all the jiggery pokery it was up to last night. I have to walk k9 so that will get me out of the house and HI has asked me if I will do some admin for him. I may even pop to the supermarcado to get some bits as I may cook dinner. Again I may not.

HI sussed me on my ruse to get the house tidied as he mentioned it over breakfast this morning!! Ha Ha BUSTED.com.

Had a preggo moment earlier and have spent the last 30mins freaking out that I have been driving round without car insurance since Feb! Tis not the case luckily but for a moment there...

Spose I should go and get in the shower. Or I may surf a bit more online whilst I have the place to myself.

Whitstable get you and your head start. Deffo no slimey oozit here either, tho I am gusset checking and even turning the light on when I have my middle of the night comfort breaks.

I am not so worried about the birth , more concerned about how to look after a Baybeeee!! Does an instruction manual come out attached to the placenta? Plz to say it does.

Don't you just shut it in the bottom draw until it turns into a small person that you can reason with silver?

Thanks for the sympaffy scorps and muse felt bad about having a whine as really its not so bad as actually voming (although the loud and violent heaves while driving down motorway are a leetle bit scary). Just gonna have to get on with it and remember its all in a good cause.

I haven't really done the half portion thing as I feel much better with a proper full stomach, but have been doing the little and often in between :o At least no one will question my growing bump in work as they will just assume (quite correctly) that I am getting fat from troughing all the time.

silver I am bricking myself about what to do with a small bean. I couldn't even get the doll washing right at NCT. I can't bring myself to open books or else I might want a refund. I am leaving the panicking to the post birth bit.

Just had a v nauseous episode. Ate some yoghurt and x 3 digestives. Feel a bit better for it. I am analysing every bloody thing in my body, I need to CHILL OUT.

Morning lionesses - here's your christian for the day!

Uh oh, the Food Police are on the rampage - here

I have contributed . Bit harsh but am not in a mood to entertain noodledom

Moo I missed the westfield invite! I have been up and about early doors sorting stuff like collecting bedside lamp I ordered, buying boxes of nappies for #1 and #2 child and sending off recently sold items on ebay. Pissed off cos a laundry basked that I ordered in white is clearly cream and it just won't do. Now I will have the fucking hassle of another trip to post office to send it back and it is massive.

Wit are you queue jumping?? 1cm dilated already and it also sounds like moo could be in "latent Labour". I fear I will be laying at Christmas at this rate. Mind you 2 strangers have said to me today that I look as if my baybeeee will come any minute. One was the lady working in Starbucks who looked quite concerned.

Tooth still causing me grief. Called the consultant about it and she advised to keep tooth until after baybee had come (no good lying on back with heaps of local anaesthetic which will make my hear race apparently) - but she doesn't have to live with the pain and frankly paracentemol does jack shit (can I have an epidural in my gum please) Will give it until the end of the week to simmer down and if it still hurts then it will just have to go.

Sorry to hear of more sickyness around these parts. It seems the early differs are vomming and the late differs have wee trickling out - classy bunch we are...

Yes you wouldn't want to actually EAT anything from this deli would you? It would no doubt be contaminated with some nasty bodily fluid (and would harm your baybee.) [hgrin]

Those threads make my BP soar. I am now waiting for the thread "will going to the really loud fireworks party hurt my baybee's ears?".

okie nay bother, I have been doing sweet FA apart from giving doglet his vet meds and talking to a Brissie friend down under for 58 minutes (oops). I don't feel like I am in latent labour - I feel BORED. No crampy cramps recently.

I decided against laundry basket and bought 2 laundry bags (like kit bags) - one for wash and one out. They have them in Lizzies on webbs road and are nice stripey material.

Really feel for you with tooth. She is right though - not pleasant and will need loads of injections. It makes me shake like a nutter. Either way is shit. Could you gargle with aspirin maybe? Might be more direct effect than paracetemol. Worth an ask?

Oooo I was thinking of taking mini cokie to see some fireworks. He will either shit himself or will love them. Also, tis 1 day prior to due date so was hoping the loud bangs may scare the blighter out!

Right, I am going to clean out bathroom cabinet.

Clapham Common is on the 5th... who knows if I will have actual RL baybee by then. I'm more worried about the dog going nuts. He barks at planes passing so not a great omen.

As I child I was a bit scared of the noise, but liked the food. No change there then.
