elfraising (too tenous?) I went right off the sechs until I hit about twelve weeks, not sure why but think combination of mega tiredness, ms, rapid body changes, fear of dislodging baybee and the wrong hormones racing. When we tried I found physically difficult and unable to relax in the crucial area. Then suddenly it passed and I have found myself returned to sex pest form. And in my experience is true about second trim intensity, is possibly the best ever now!

Oh good lord. Amanda Holden has lost her baby at 7 months. I can't imagine it.

Hello all.

Sproket I iz good ta. Knackered but can't complain. Tbh things became easier since I accepted the fact that BB needs a lot of cuddles - she won't sleep during the day unless she is being held. It is odd as she sleeps brilliantly at night in her moses basket (6-9 hrs sometimes, fucking Amaze!), but try and put her down in the day and she screams instantly. And when I say screams, I mean she shrieks at the top of her lungs. I'm not kidding, her voice would cut through glass. She is bloody gorgeous though and if I didn't have Boo already, I'd happily spend all day on the sofa snuggling and snuffling her. Instead I have resorted to putting her in the sling sometimes just so I can get stuff done.

Well the Dunstan dvd has been bagged but the rest is still up for grabs, plus I have a birthing ball if anyone wants it?

Where are cho and clucky? Are they laying or do they have lives?

Soz, massive x-posts as it took me so long to type that. Poor woman. I don't really like her but that is just fucking heart breaking.

:( that's so sad. Poor woman. :( :(

That's terrible . Do they know why?

I need a birthing ball, Pol if you have one going?

GG, fab - PM me your address and I will get it off to you this week.

Morning haglets. What news this morning? Any overnight layings?

Morning! My news is that my boobs woke me in the night by being enormous and sore. Could feel the fuckers growing! After a night full of pee breaks and a vay odd sex dream about a gay colleague I have woken up this morning looking like a proper differ! Bump and everything bit worried about work tomorrow as haven't told them yet but absurdly pleased all the same!

Have we got any birthdays happening?

No laying in the Cluck household [harumph] - will have to try another tack.

Very jealous of the gorgeous, sleeping BB Polster - sounds like you've got it sussed. Have the preggo ailments cleared-up too???

god, poor woman, what a horrible thing to happen.

Warning - self-indulgent whine coming up..

I managed to have a completely stupid strop last night. MrM has been cooking lovely dinners recently (mainly from Jamie O's latest) and I was cooking last night. Expensive steaks from our excellent local butcher, and I had made a big batch of dauphinoise potatoes, some to freeze and a portion to eat. The steaks weren't well cooked, the potatoes were underdone for most of the duration of the meal, and he left lots of his and I took away the plates shouting, well that was shite, and took myself off to the bedroom and threw myself onto the bed in a manner I haven't done since my teens!

Completely bonkers about nothing, but my brain started going, well, if I can't cook a normal dinner that I have done lots of times, I won't be a good mother, which then lead into thinking about my own relationship with my mother and all sorts of other shit.

Completely batshit bonkers. Anyway, MrM came through after a while, gave me a cuddle and we went to Sainsbury's for pizza for him, Gu puddings for us, and a box of Lindt, which seemed to sort us out. We'd both had a crap day doing domestic stuff not very well, and realised we'd barely had anytime together being nice. So today, after I have done my yoga and he's shot stuff on the Xbox, we're going to do stuff together - what I don't know yet.

ahh meds sounds like something good has come out of it at least. I haven't had one of those rants for a while but I do remember having a proper cooking related strop in the first few weeks of being diffed and thinking 'aha that'll be the hormones' Hope you have a lovely day. You are going to be a great mum! Babies don't like steak and dauphinoise spuds anyway

I am picking TB up from the airport in a few hours! Cant wait to see him :o I have had a nice week and kept myself busy but have really missed him. Just wish he was off tomorrow so we could spend some time together properly.

Also really [hmm[ about BBC coverage of AH situation. For a start they keep calling it a miscarriage which it really isn't at that stage and they obviously have no other information so just padded the article banging on about Piers Morgans twitters of sympathy. FGS as if that has any bearing on the situation and I think its really inappropriate to mention some thing as trivial as a social network tool in relation to such a tragic event just to pad out an article.

Bitey you jammy bugger. When is it my turn?

Pols sleeping all night! Bloody hell, what an absolute gem. Shame about the wailing during the day but I get the feeling it's better that way around?

Meds Well done on the barking mentalness And hoorah for lovely MrM being sensible about it.

Mountie tis always a joy to log on here and read about your flange first thing in the morning - Teh Sechs is still happening chez Boots but it is a bit weird somehow. Cannot quite explain why that is. Feels different. As for the not sleeping, it seems to be mainly because I get random stretchy womble aches in the middle of the night, or roll over by accident on the buzzwams which then hurt and wake me up. Last night I tried out a three pillow combo (one either side of me lengthways plus one under head). This seemed to work quite well but I ended up lying on my back with one under my knees and the other two under my head. I have, however, slept and am therefore less mental than yesterday. Phew.

Aaaah, can't believe I've managed to miss an entire thread! Hurrah to the recent differs! I'm watching closely for the next round of baybees, the list is going to start moving quickly...

Meds I always lose the ability to cook when I'm diffed - burn everything, can't get timings right, nothing tastes quite right etc. My other half is used to having to cook everything now, which he doesn't seem to mind as he fancies himself as a bit of a chef! It will have no bearing on your ability as a mother, and the fact that you think about what you'll be like and the relationship with your own mum means you'll be an insightful and loving one yourself, so don't worry.

I'm 21 weeks now but still waiting for my bloody anomaly scan, going to be almost 22 weeks by the time I have it. However, good news is that I've finally been transferred to the community midwives and they've said yes to a home birth even though technically out of their catchment area. Hurray!

We're in the middle of building work hell, builders due to start knocking things down next week but time estimate is a bit tight. I have visions of moving in about a week before I'm due. Eeek!

Have good Sundays all.

Oh god, can't bear reading about the AH situation. So, so sad and unbearable for her and her little family Looked on the BBC new site - they're rightly calling it a stillbirth now but the stuff about twitter, etc., is a disgrace, like Rocket says. Are they somehow suggesting that getting some social networking messages will make it all alright?! They're just using it to shoehorn some celeb names into a piece I was also pissed off when the media called Lily Allen's stillbirth a mc, as it was just after 6 months.

You'd have to be a monster not to feel for AH but on the subject of empathy, does everyone else find it unbearable to see/read/hear about anything bad happening to babies and children, even if it's just a scraped knee? I started crying yesterday seeing a dad shout at his daughter in a film.

Medee, I've had a few (okay, a fair few) daft hormonal strops about nothing-much too. Think it's par for the course. Most of mine revolve around panicking I'll be a crap mother or twisting the slightest thing TYF says into believing he doesn't love me any more or won't be a good dad, which is pure menkul on both counts. There's so much change happening and upcoming that it's enough to send anyone wibbly, without their body being flooded with hormones too. So don't feel daft (or too daft). Doing lovely stuff together sounds like a fab plan :)

Big yay for the return of Mr Leaf AKA TB. Hope you both have a luffly day together, my sweet.

Another big yay for Bitey and her magical insta-bump and boobs

Yay also for lovely sleeping beauty BB but not so much yay for needing constant cuddles. Is your fault for being such a wonderful mum, Poo - she doesn't want to ever let you go :) Sounds like hoiking her round in a sling all day is the way to go.

Aw Medee, you are doing well if that's your first completely ridiculous strop. I like to do them regularly, keeps TBG on his toes. I actually sat and sobbed the other day because I got confused when doing the washing up and filled the sink up entirely with cold water.

Hope the two of you have a good day today. A bit of time together not talking about babies is definitely a good thing.

Other stuff

I am glad to see the BBC have corrected their website. The miscarriage thing made me want to go and slap them a lot. Fucking miscarriage. She would have been induced and gone into labour and given birth to a baby that could have survived. Babies born at that age do survive. I find it to awful to think about.

Oooh, Twinks, I didn't refresh! How the devil are you? So lovely to see yer

Great news about the home birth. And hope you'll be getting your scan asap (is it this week?). Don't be a stranger! :)

Moos that is a most excellent reason to wail.

I concur on the slapping required. The littlest baby I ever met was born at 23+6. 7 months is in no way a miscarriage. Fucking idiots. Grrr.

Scorps the worst are the Barnardos/NSPCC adverts. I start snivelling the second they start, I usually have to leave the room.

thanks for sharing your tales of irrational meltdown, ladies, knew I could rely on you for non-judgeyness.

The BBC coverage is saying stillbirth now. I do dislike the new trend of quoting celebs' Twitter comments, though probably not as much as the celebs' PR people do!

Hurrah for Twink's homebirth, and SleepingBooty

Proper LOLing at Muser's washing up wailing. It's a waste to get mardy over anything actually worth it

Here's my most ridiculous menkul ever: on Friday, me and TYF were having a laugh and we often act out or mime daft things and I was pretending to cradle a baby whilst being bored of him. He then took the imaginary baby off me to cuddle it too and I got really upset and distressed that someone else was holding my baby. My invisible, imaginary mime baby. FFS.

(If I'm this bad already, what am I going to be like when he's actually here?!)

Muser, I wonder if the BBC amended their website after loads of people complained about the miscarriage thing. What that poor woman must've been through doesn't bear thinking about it; you'd think they could have the barest amount of decency to get the terminology right first time around

Booty, don't even mention the adverts. I feel like weeping just thinking about them

Aw meds I am mental 97% of the time so you have my sympathy.

News from here? So far today I have thrown up 4 times and had 5 poos...only the first one was solid, the rest have been like bottom vomit. TMI? IDGAF

ooh, your body clearing itself out for labour, Gin?

Oooh, I definitely think gin is gearing up for a queue jump. I shall be ever so jealous.
