A toothbrush! How desperate would you need to be?

Ah bugger! Hopefully, fingers crossed you'll see some action soon......

Fatima A toothbrush! [hshock]

The toothbrush didn't work she said.......

Glad you are finally getting looked after tits

Congratulations YW

tits I hope you are ok.

My friend had her baby this morning and I am very jealous excited. She was due the day after me.

I too am wondering if this is it at every twinge. It's ridiculous. With DD there were no warnings- slight period type pains then contractions almost immediately. With this one, I'm working on the assumption that if I'm not sure if this is the real thing then it isn't!

Wow...a toothbrush...woman needs help!

Chunky I was talking to DP about many if you guys getting pains, sometimes regular, that seem to stop eventually. I would be exactly the same in wondering whether to start the cascade of phone calls and prep etc. thankfully nothing like this has happened for me so I'm hoping the when it starts, it starts! I hope all is ok now.

Quite looking forward to my Caribbean food now. I'll just have a pint of milk and a bottle of gaviscon afterwards.

I think I'm going to go for the blocks (or the box) just need to pick a colour. apple They have a Facebook page which has lots of photos of things they do.

The health visitor turned up at 3pm! Just as I'd climbed in to bed because I was bored tired. The woman who'd made the appointments had cocked up and she was very apologetic. Offered to come back another day, I just said as long as she didn't mind my shelf sorting mess.
Brings up the reality that I'm actually going to have a baby [hshock]

Hope everything comes back ok tits

Oh and Detective, I had a moment today. I was glossing the skirting boards in my bathroom and I remembered you saying that baby wipes can clear up gloss paint. They really can . Useful for my painting escapades but they can stay the hell away from my baby's backside.

Don't say that Shelly I am really hoping I stay fully engaged now

A toothbrush?! boak

I was waddling through town earlier it actually hurt quite a bit, ha a nice shopping day with my mum though and ds was an angel all day.

All I bought though were newborn socks, that's it. Obv my hair but that doesn't count

Can wait to get something close to a figure back after the birth and I can go clothes shopping woop!

I also won a mama and papas 0-3 cardigan barely worn for £4 inc postage yesterday, then today won a new, boxed 60 piece wooden train set for ds' Xmas present for £13. Love eBay, I'm watching a ton of stuff on there it's addictive!

Just been to a shopping outlet. So tempted with all the pretty dresses and jackets and tops and skirts. I assume I'll go back to a 10 but couldn't buy anything in case I don't :( oh apart from shoes and boots!!!! I could buy them!!!

Nan bought the baby LOADS of clothes. Seriously he's got so many!!! It's great!!!!

So glad to hear you're getting sorted out at the hospital Tits I was getting worried about you.

I got the kids from school then promptly went to bed. I'm tempted to get a chinese takeaway tonight cos there's nothing to eat in the house and Sainsbury's aren't delivering until tomorrow. Then I'll have to try and tidy up the ruin of the house caused by throwing things down through the loft hatch! The boys are glad to have some of their toys back though.

horsey I have been the same around clothes. I have my fingers crossed that I will go back to pre-pregnancy size but I suppose I can't tell.

I really don't know what's wrong with me today. I feel sick, headachy and completely lacking in energy. I cannot be bothered doing anything. Poor DH has said that he will go to the shops despit the fact that I have spent all day sitting here doing nothing. I haven't emptied the dishwasher or anything. I feel a bit tearful as well.

I need to get a grip!

Caribbean food sounds fab!

I'm just out of the bath...which was quite an effort! MIL is bringing DD back at 6pm and staying for dinner. I am doing roast chicken which I'm quite looking forward to. So easy to just bung in the oven as well

. I may have overdone it a tad today as I put a load of baby clothes on to wash. I appreciate that sounds like buggar all but sorting through the bags and then putting in machine along with all the bending etc is actually quite exhausting and painful at the moment :( it makes me feel like Ive done a little nesting though so I'm happy. I'm tempted to put my pjs back on but think Ill go for leggings and a long top, equally comfy except the bra that I feel I must wear and a bit more presentable for having someone round for dinner!

tits I'm glad you are staying in to be checked. Even a night in hospital resting will do pelvic pain the world of good hopefully. If not at least when they see you mobilising they may begin to understand the extent of pain you are in.

I've got jacket pots with cheese and beans and salad tonight. Had a full blown pork roast for lunch aswell!

Mmmmmm. Cheese and beans.....

I'm getting burritos tonight. I love my DH.

Steak and jacket pot witha sneaky glass of wine.

Pass that's how I felt Tuesday and yesterday? Today I felt better though still have bloody huge bags under my eyes! Just rest up and take it easy. Dh was taking me to a&e Tuesday night as I'd got myself in such a state!!

Yes to being back in 'normal' clothes too!!!

Dh no idea what I'm having for tea. Had beetroot soup for lunch, might have soup for tea too!!

We're having posh tesco pizza for dinner. Lazy yes, but cheaper than a takeaway (thursdays our awkward work/client times day). Problem is i wont be home till 9 - later if i stop at ikea for more hangers, which I will - hello heartburn later!

Sofia and Fatima ur near southall? As I live here! We should do a southall curry meet up . I thought everyone on our thread is from Scotland lol.

Know some yummy places to eat. But actually none that deliver.

Interesting to see detective and i are the longest thread members. I can't keep up any more. Post natal thread is a little slower so managing ok there.

Right gota get bk to feeding my little man. Ill try keep up a little more.

Just come on for some virtual (((( )))) and support really
Have done nothing but argue over txt/phone with ex DP and havnt seen him for a week coz he's not bothered to come around. He just txts me evry morning general bland message to establish if anythings happened then maybe phones me once later on for a very stilted convo which 9 times out of 10 turns into a row as I just cant help myself, I am so fuming with him for leaving.
Its SOOOO hard and I feel very sad and lost. I know he is a complete and utter twunt to the fullest degree and that I am better off without him but its very scary knowing I will be having a baby any day now (due next Wed) and that Im facing it alone.
Not what I imagined or dreamed of when I found out we were expecting, I had such high hopes for our little family and am beyond gutted that its all gone so wrong. Overriding feeling though is anger and you know when you are so angry you cry in frustration? Thats me.
I just cannot forgive him or see his side to anything even though Im sure there is one. Im scared of what will happen after the birth, pissed off that he is just going to swan in for the good bit (the birth) meet his son, then piss off out the door after leaving me with my 3 day baby blues that will surely turn into PND with all ive got on my plate.
My parents dont know (cant face telling them) My Girls are still getting over it themselves so Im having to be all smiles and brave face for RL hence my coming here to offload and dump. Such lovely ladies, come and tell me I can do it and dont need hime please!!

shannell big hugs xxx. U will b great. But maybe u need to tell someone in rl? For some hands on support. Spesh for after the birth.

U sound like a strong brave person. U are and will b a great mum.

shanelle you can and will be able to do this on your own. He is trying to have the best of all worlds and blaming you which is just not chuffing on. What is putting you off telling your parents? Even if they are judgemental or whatever else you will need them soon - your wee girls will need them. I am cross for you. I want to come round your house and swear.

shanelle sorry things are crap for you atm, I don't have any words of wisdom but you have my every sympathy and we're all here for virtual hand holding and hugs. We're also good for baby advice and random 4am chats :)
