Gaw that is not good! I hope you geeling better soon!

I came on for a moan as I am not well and my throat feels like its on fire, but now I just feel like a tit who is feeling sorry for herself

Not a tit April. Have you taken some paracetamol? I had a throat and chest infection a few weeks ago and was told to dose myself up and get some lozenges.

That sounds immense Fox. I've managed to get a smoothie down my neck. Just. I'd love a sausage roll.

Gawj they sound like pains in the arse. Don't worry about them, you take as much time as you need to get better.

Naked conference calls are definitely one of the finer things in life Grey. We can both work from home too but I insist we alternate our days so I don't murder him.

Gawjus Sounds awful love. Hope you're feeling better soon.

You too April

I'm putting off going to get lunch as I don't fancy anything and find wandering round food shops aimlessly really stressful. I don't even think I can stomach a Greggs!

I just had a long walk around Manchester City Centre in my lunch hour attempting to find a shop that has a bounty pack for me. Tried 3 different places and all 3 had run out!

I want a smoothie! Maybe you genius.

I found the Bounty pack underwhelming personally, looks like a nice big bag but only a few free samples when you open it. Mostly it's extra copies of leaflets that were already in the pack I had from the doctors.

Gawjus, hope your time off helps you recover.

It's all I wanted Comms!! It's hit the spot though!!

joll i did that this morning, none anywhere! I'm so intrigued!

sorry to hear gaw - cant believe some people are so crap!

it's turkey dinos and potato waffles for me today (the baby wanted it...)

Oh Grey! Potato waffles?! Yes yes yes!! I want one now!! With ketchup

Maybe All I can manage is fruit and juice. Need a Tropicana drip!

Thanks so much everyone for your concern wish everyone else was as understanding!!

Finally got paperwork thru risk for T21 is 1 in 5,635 which isnt bad wish it was higher though im such a worrier!

Haha grey turkey dinos i really fancy turkey twizzlers those things got taken off market when i was about 13 for being full of so much shit! Xx

P.s love that "the baby wanted it" my exuse for everythin at mo specially when I need to pass wind "uhoh baby needs to fart" haha

Just catching up, now have real cravings for a chippie, a Greggs sandwich and lots of pie, luckily bought a pie from aldi yesterday, debating whether to cook it tonight despite cooking only for myself tonight. Will prob end up with cheesy bean on toast though as too impatient to wait for food to cook, when I need to eat NOW! anyone else get that? Not hungry, no appetite then starving!

On the sickness front I've been signed off work by GP think he felt sorry or me as I burst into tears when saw him. Also got a prescription for Cyclizine not sure if it makes me feel better or worse though.

Also agree with Pram please no talk of 'skinnies' as some of us can't get in them normally! My belly seems o be rounder and less flabby tyre so guess that counts as a bump? Reason I've openly told everyone I'm pregnant is that didn't want everyone thinking I was just gettin fatter again.

I'm the same Comms. My current favourite is tropical....

Bec I have the same thing. The thought of good repulses me, then bang, I need food now!!

I'm having the issue now, having spewed up my breakfast an hour go am now finding I am starving but wary to eat too much as it may just reappear again :(

Also really need to start sorting out unpacking some boxes my new house looks like an obsessive compulsive hoarders dwelling, everything piled high in the living room, can't face carrying anything upstairs as makes me feel dizzy, I feel so pathetic not my usual pre-pregnancy self hats for sure.

That's* my spelling and typos are suffering as well

Right, finally caught up - you lot don't half natter

Welcome Baking

and congrats to everyone who has had their scans in the last week.

I think it was Frank who commented about their DP working 2 hours away? I have a 2 hour each way commute and I start at 8, and I manage to do it every day, with the odd exception when I work from home, or if I have an event in the evening I'll stay in town with my sister. Not wanting to sound like a bitch, but your husband needs to man up and deal with the commute if you need him there for you

I got my maternity bras in mothercare after ordering several pairs on line and sending them all back I bit the bullet, they have some really nice ones now and I no longer feel the need to strip my bra off as soon as I walk in the door (home that is - not work)

I'm also still suffering with the constantly feeling sick, it's definitely worse when I've had less sleep, but it's pretty much constant, I find myself getting into really dark moods about it and wondering whether this whole pregnancy lark is actually for me. I seem to manage to pull my head out my arse after a few days, but then feel so guilty about feeling that way - that I beat myself up about it, and then the dark mood returns - I just wish the sickness would stop now, I've really had enough of feeling like death warmed up

On the twins front, DD has taken to telling everyone she meets that I have 2 babies in my tummy - we had a scan at 7 weeks and we only saw one, but apparently they can "miss" the second at that stage - WTF?

I told for the same reason Becs - my tyre appears to be inflating and I'd rather people didn't judge when they see me stuffing my face with salt and vinegar posh crisps...or even worse, think I have an eating disorder when they then hear me retching in the loos after every meal

Can you all stop talking about food please?

I'm like old mother hubbard at the mo. Had a mad busy weekend and didn't do the big shop. Now I'm sitting twiddling my thumbs waiting for the online shopping to be delivered.

I might snog the ASDA man when he arrives with my scran and blame it on the hormones!

Thanks everyone :)

maybe popped some paracetemol but they dont seem to be doing anything (I am really all about the coedine anyway!) I really wish I could gargle and swallow some disprin/super strength aspro clear, have ibuprofen with coedine and then paracetemol 2 hrs later.....

Note - I am not addicted to pain killers...just appreciate their effects :)

MTB I get what you are saying but it's slightly more tricky than that with the nature of DH's job. He potentially has to do long hours at short notice and as the military pay for him to have a flat in London it seems little sense for him to spend money commuting back and forth to the big smoke everyday.

By the time the baby arrives and he's taken his leave he'll potentially only have 2 months left in the job. Plus if he's likely to get sent abroad straight after I have no choice but to dope without him. Such is the lot of a military wife!

Frank sorry if my post came across a bit mean, there was a thread in relationships the other week, where a woman's husband was staying away during the week due to a commute of an hour, turned out he was having an affair. But it's the "my poor husband has such an awful commute" that really gets me, try doing it on a train when you're suffering from morning sickness!!!

Argh - sorry rant over - I think I vented my frustration over your situation (is is just me or does that sound a bit yuck?)

If it works for the two of you, then that's what matters

Gawj, sorry you're so ill. Hope you're better soon. Make the most of your bed rest.

Pirates, DP's gone to see his family in Turkey. He hadn't seen them for 3 years.
Pram, I'm working on manning up. It's just that I'm not used to being without him and I love his company.

We're both pretty self sufficient - he works long hours so time together can be pretty scarce. I don't rely on him for practicalities at all. I was a single mother for a year before he came along.
I never used to miss XP when he was away with work, which was often, not even when he was in Qatar for weeks during the Iraq war when DS1 was just a baby. Actually it was quite nice not having to pick his dirty pants up off the bathroom floor. The lack of "missing" even in those earlyish days should have told me something about that doomed relationship.
I'll stop rambling now. Are we getting scan pics today?

Gadzooks, MTB! That was a bit harsh on Frank. The thing is, I was on an antenatal thread last year before I miscarried and I stalked caught up with them all when they had their babies. The women who were clingy, co-dependent wifeys fared terribly when darling hubby went back to work after paternity leave. I swear I couldn't believe the abject neediness of some of these women who clearly couldn't make a move through life without leaning on their husbands for approval or succour. They were the type who did everything with their husbands and had never learned to just deal with shit on their own. Tragic.

I didn't get past the fish stall I saw the meat in throbbing red mounds of gloriousness but simply couldn't get past the fish. The fucking stinking bastard fish. I had to run away and breathe deeply in the market bogs. have you ever tried breathing deeply in market bogs. Well, don't.

I bought some ace stuff from H&M (I defy any of you size-12-ers to get into the H&M size 14 skinnies) and Debenhams, but the piece de resistance are my proper black cowboy boots from Mantaray. Über-cool. I also cracked and bought maternity bras. I tried normal ones in bigger sizes but they just fit horrendously. The ones I bought were from Debenhams and at least separate the tits slightly. I am now an F cup (after only being measured last week as an E)

I wanted Greggs desperately but it was too far from the bus stop so I resorted to M&S tuna mayo sandwich (which was awash with spunky-looking mayo and more sweetcorn than you could shake a fucking stick at) and a most mediocre Belgian brownie bar. Bleddy crap.
