Thread 6

I am indeed making my own sauces Mummy and Lyra...cooking relaxes me so much so I'm definitely starting from scratch...bugger the mess!

Pram Glad to hear you sounding positive after your Relate sesh.

Jol Your new house sounds lovely. All the work will be worth it. I can't wait to move.

We went to a baby sale thing today (like an indoor car
boot). Wasn't really looking to buy anything but we spotted a lovely, good as new bouncer at a really good price so we snapped it up. I've come home to bake cookies and read a book :).

Saggy is fine, she is spending a lot of time on the pregnant after miscarriage thread (I go on here when I'm happy, and on that one when I'm stressing about things goin wrong this time).

Just been to asda and they've got some baby clothes reduced very cheap. Am skint at the moment so just got a pack of 3 plain white sleepsuits for £2, need to know if this is a boy or girl so I can go through DS's old clothes and figure out what I need to buy!

I am going to this

Jolls! Th'usband has just come in from the kitchen with Ginsters steak slice butties!

Thanks for telling us about Saggy, Rock. It made me sad to think you sometimes feel the need to go on that other thread. I will go to Asda and do the same. Thanks for the tip.

I keep reading all over mumsnet what an utterly pointless and expensive waste of time pregnancy yoga is. This makes me very happy as I thought I was missing out on something magical/enlightening/life-enhancing.

I am more sick today than ever. I am 15+1. What the absolute devil is going on??

Pram get it on YouTube, doesn't have to be expensive!

Hello, hello. Took me ages to catch up! Must not let myself get so far behind again!

Rimming! Mouth farts! Hahahahahahahaha.

Haven't been on t'rest of mumsnet in a week or so haven't seen the 'preggers yoga is a waste of time' thread. But I like it. Depends what you do it for. There's no real excerise in it. And I ended up with a CS so I'm not totally sold on the birthing positions stuff. But it's an hour and a half a week where I am not working, parenting, tidying, house working or stuffing my face. I like the stretching and calm breathing, and relaxation techniques. I like being in a room full of pregnant ladies. And it's not expensive at £6 a session (yay to not living in London).

Were not doing too bad pram thankyoy for asking :) we just piss eachother off alot lol, how are you getting on?

Got a lamb stew in the slow cooker smells loveeeely :)

And about rimming you are fking brave lyra i have put my finger up there once in our whole relationship it freaked me out sooo much its hairy argh its disgusting never looked at / smelt it / touched it since even if i do love him lol!!

Maybe I could give pregnancy yoga a whirl, seeing as I will be child free every morning from next Thursday (apart from Nando obv.)

I looked in Tesco yesterday and a pack of 3 white vests is £2.50 and 3 white sleep suits is about £4. So I will get 2 of each and that will be it until baby is born.

I have no clue what to buy for the baby yet. I am waiting for my friend to come over and then tell me what should be looking out for.

We are having a go kart racing thing for team building does anyone know if it's safe? I will be 16 weeks. I have never been before.

What is it with these pie sandwiches? It should be pastry or bread, not both!

How was your dinner, Mummy and gawk? My ribs were great but there were too many of them so I got a doggy bag. I'm well and truly stuffed. Grooaaan.

I've been to something like that before So, it was quite full on! You have a helmet obviously, but you do get jolted about a bit, especially if somebody bumps in to you. And the wheel is right next to your belly.

I'd check with your midwife and see what she says.

Gawk? lol

So, I wouldn't do it at 16 weeks. You'll probably find that they say you can't do it anyway, for insurance reasons or whatever. There was a very tame ride thing at the London Dungeons last week and even that said it pregnant women shouldn't go on it and it was hardly bumpy at all (I sneaked on because I was sure it would be fine and it was).

Well at least you will have something to snack on later! Dinner was gorgeous, we haven't had a really big yummy roast like that for aaaaages.

And it probably tasted even better because you were ravenous

Has anyone had a letter telling them to go for a flu jab? I got mine. Boooo.

Yes it did, I really appreciated it.

mummy, I'm glad to hear that your dh's outburst was an uncharacteristic thing, that he's apologised for.

Who else still has their scan to do? Mine's this Thursday, and I know painauxraisin's is the the same day. We should be almost done by the end of this week I think? I can't wait to finally tell our families, keeping it a secret for nearly two months has been killing me!

In other news, there's a group of kids playing on our street. This makes me stupidly happy.

At least you won't have to have your photo taken for the newspaper while having the flu jab. Bloody job!

So go carting is a lot of fun and bumpy. Imagine bumper cars. As long as everyone else knows you're pregnant so they don't bump into you and you go slow. You sshould be ok

Personally I wouldn't risk it, like Hot says the wheel is quite low and in front of the belly. But I'm a paranoid first timer . :)

I would not risk go-karting, So.

I have finally had my Notice Seeking Possession from the landlord dated 7th Sept and asking us to leave by 5th October I rang him and told him that my Borough Council has informed me I have two months from the date of his Notice. He did not freak out at all as I told him we would like to be gone as soon as possible but that the places we have viewed so far are shitholes. I said the problem we had was that there are no furnished properties and we don't own a stick of furniture. He said we can have all the sofas from here and as many beds as we want

We still won't be gone by the 5th

I am also a first timer and its taken me 6 years to conceive this one so would err on side of caution and not do it. Thanks for the advice.
Midwife said as long as no one bumps into me I should be fine, but it could happen accidently so I dnt want to risk it.

I got the flu jab letter too. I am scheduled for 6 oct! I might have come down with it by then.

I have a mild UTI so need to provide another sample to get checked out again. I have a really problem of producing urine on command :/.

We did work go carting. I wasn't allowed. Shame as I've done it before and it's ace. But I was quite glad not to as I went to watch and there was a big three cart pile up, and one of the carts started smoking, eek! The guys in the my work are very bolshy and competitive and tried to laugh it off but admitted later it hurt quite a bit- like mild whiplash. So might be better to be safe than sorry with this one. And I say that as someone who is pretty chilled about all the 'avoid when preggers' stuff.

All this talk of ribs, roast and slow cooker lamb- makes me sooo hungry! Just 'use-up-all-the-veggies-in-the-fridge' pasta for us tonight
