May 2013 - roll on 12 weeks!

[DizziDoll]

Thread n2 for those due in May 2013

frustrated mine is worst when I'm on the train, a few times it's been really painful and I've started to worry until I remember it's only wind.

Husband still AWOL, but I'm looking on the bright side I can watch Dr Who in peace...

I'm constantly full of wind. From both ends ! Also really bloated.

DH was shocked how bloated I was last night ! Not a good look with my bloated stomach Dolly Parton boobs and wind ! Such a good look

twink my husband does this to me almost every weekend why on earth would I want to go to the supermarket 8 am on a Saturday morning!
Pmsl at the idea of DH doing the housework or cooking.
He doesn't really see mess and wouldn't know what to do with if he did and cooking he absolutely can't cook.
Food used to be a big issue between us he has many many food issue stemming from a serious childhood illness. So we buy our own shopping and I cook it all for him. Until he met me he'd never really had proper home cooked food he lived on fruit, takeaways and eating out in restaurants.

It's only fair I do most of it seeing as I only work 3 days. He does understand once the baby comes he will have to see to himself at least for a few weeks.

I just wanted to add how amazing my DP has been so far this weekend.I'm exhausted,grumpy and snappy.I can't sleep at all at night.After work he has taken us out for lunch.Then when we got in the Ds's played nicely and i snuggled up to DP on the sofa.He stroked my hair and i finally got some sleep he said i was lying on him for near 2hours.Now he is cooking me a thai meal.

I must read this back to myself next time he is driving me mad

8+1

littlebairn my DH doesn't 'see' dirt either. Insists I must be creating the mess as before we were married he hardly had to clean at all
I cook everything around here as well as he's very picky - but have asked him to bung a pie and chips into the oven for tonight and you should hear the huffing and puffing. I'd be annoyed but just reading what I've typed here is making me giggle.

at beautician!

Yes beaut have to say I'm feeling very lucky this wknd, my OH has been amazing, we usually take turns cooking but he's been doing it all and the housework, washing, dog walking and even cleaned out the chooks today. I'm making the most of it, he can't keep this up, so enjoying it while it lasts. They all have their moments and they always know the worst time to pick them! littleb hope yours is back with M&S treats! :-)

Also.....for all the ladies suffering from nausea, OH read somewhere that Arrowroot Biscuits are good and brought home 6 packs...WOW, they are great....I'm carrying a pack in my handbag. They've really improved things for me. You can get them in most big supermarkets.

I feel like a bad mummy already just realised I forgot to take my muti vit yesterday ( forgot earlier in the week too) and haven't so far today. Also realised I actually haven't eaten a meal today. Making myself some fresh lentil soup. How the hell can I forget to eat!

picklep nope he's still sulking at the office! TBF he does have a lot of work on.
Oh and he wasnt buying me anything at M&S he was only buying his own food, I bought my weekly shop at sainbos last night.

Now I'm craving lentil soup

Awe I'd share some with you feritilty there is plenty there and DH hates lentils.

Oh dear think Dr who might be a bit scary tonight and I'm all home alone. [bush]

Bush double

littleb....hahahaha!

ooh little I had lentil soup for the first time in months yesterday :) Was nice and plain and filling for my sensitive stomach I found.

Is funny hearing DH stories. My Dh doesn't see mess either, his 'office' room upstairs is a pigsty, I never go in it! he doesn't cook either but I only work 3 days a week from home (studying) and i like to cook in the main. he buys takeaways for us instead! If I ask him to cook it is like I have set him some kind of exam, he gets all stressy and has to go shopping even if we have loads of stuff in and it takes him HOURS. he can't seem to make meals out of ingredients in the cupboard... poor thing. When I am pg though I have to he treats me like a total princess. he will go out in any weather at any time to get anything I want, I can have long baths (not too hot of course!) and sleep in while he entertains DS. He really is kind.

Arf I have been eating all day! Am so so hungry today!

sorry to hear about all the trapped wind peeps but also :(

pickle what is arrowroot, or is that a brand name? Are they nice? sweet/savoury what whatty?!

scan tomorrow. shitting myself!

7+2

wilde They're made by Crawfords and when I googled arrowroot, it appears it's a thickening agent but known to settle stomachs. They're an old fashioned thing I think. They are mildly sweet, very like a Rich Tea. Yellow and red packet with 'Arrowroot Biscuits' on front. Really worked for me to calm my stomach.

wilde scan on a Sunday??? Good luck and fingers crossed all is well. :-)

8 weeks today

Oh Wilde is it a private scan?
Fx for you all is well, you must be so nervous, is this your first one??
of lovely dh, mine doesn't react to my pg at all, I think because I dont get ill etc he just sees it as another normal day, I think I had nice treatment for a week last time then after that I was back to cleaning out cat shit which your not even surposed to do!! It is anoying he just doesn't see jobs, will do what ever I ask if there is a list but nothing off his own back, he is good with dd but I can count on one hand the times I've had a lie in etc
Anyhow I'm off to watch xfactor after a smack up tea of scallops and. Steak ummmmmmm

wild my DH has two home offices too and they are right state I'm not allowed to touch them so I make him close the door.

I will look out Arrowroot too sounds Ideal.

6+4

littleb is the bush to hide behind. I thing I'm over emotional hormonal doctor who made me cry. And that hasn't happened since my fav doctor David tennent regenerated. [sob]

MissM I'm so terribly sad to hear your news today. Take care of yourself and snuggle up in the warm x

Just updating my EDD after the scan yesterday...

I'll add myself to the list - so exciting to see so many of us. I'm getting a lot of confidence from reading all your experience and seeing parallels with mine!

Ooops forgot to delete the bit that says 'I'll add myself...''

oooh! wilde how exciting!
littlebairn I just couldn't take it anymore and made daal, it's yummy. Thank you for bringing its deliciousness to my attention.

Pear glad the scan went well!

anyone being pg on DC2 feeling that DP's attitude has changed completely?
On my first pregnancy he was so attentive, so patient, so nice, taking care of me, 'I'll cook tonight' (not something complicated, but still...), 'Eat fish, it's good for you', 'I've got freshly squeezed orange juice for you', etc. etc.
Now...he's either ordering takeaway when it's his turn to cook or is asking me 'do we have anything?' (meaning: have you cooked anything?). That's it! Helloooo!? A bit of attention? What is going to happen when (if everything goes well, fingers crossed) I give birth??

I'm already craving sushi...It's a bit too early for this... :(

littlebairn is your DH back yet? with a nice rose maybe? :) I hope for the best for the rest of you as DP has bought me a flower (just one...sunflower...I know...very...romantic, not odd at all...(!)) only once!
