kara - you'd be weird if you had no worries about how much child birth hurts. As it is, you're just going through the normal worries m'dear. Yep, it's going to bloody hurt, but the result at the end is worth it.Smile

LyraSilvertongue · 24/09/2013 21:13

Oh dear, Kara. Don't think about the birth till the time comes. It's going to bloody hurt, you know that, and worrying about it won't help.

I'm watching the Paul Gascoine thing too. He said in an interview I saw that at his worst he was drinking something like four bottles of whiskey a day and not eating at all

faithfulandtruthful · 24/09/2013 21:21

I have just been sat here doing my KEGALS, watching Midwives and for the first time in a week I can feel my baby kicking. Its going like mad!!

Makes me happy.

I'm trying very hard not to judge him but I cannot for the life of me understand why, once you've got your life back - not to mention your sanity - you would pick another drink up. The selfishness is astonishing. When you have detoxed and gone through rehab the body no longer craves alcohol. There's no excuse to relapse. Unless, of course, you continue to consider yourself an utterly worthless twat. In that case you may aswell drink yourself to death.

I'm liking the axe idea thanks pram bloody drawers.

Just caught up on last week's midwives and had a holy shit I have to to thAt wobble! I did give dh permission to slap my if I writhe and scream like that Tara!!!!

Yay for the girl rock let the name talk commence.

Beccadugs · 24/09/2013 21:37

kara did you go to Jimmy Chuengs? (I used to live in Dundee, just around the corner from there)

We had corned beef hash for supper. Yum!!

In other news my parents dog ate my wedding dress... Feeling a bit gutted, but also a bit histerical...

karamcleod · 24/09/2013 21:55

Becca yep jimmy chuengs! It was fan-dabby-dozie and I'm glad I was wearing my maternity jeans (more space for food!!). Maybe you should get a crate for the dog...
I loooove cornbeef hash :) actually I love all food just now.

Breaking things up with an axe is great fun I got to smash up a fence with a crowbar and axe last week, just make sure you don't strain yourself Lumpy.

I tried to PM you Grey did you get it? I'm bloody hopeless at technology shite!

Beccadugs · 24/09/2013 21:57

They have a crate for her, but their cleaner accidentally shut her in the room with the wedding dress... Their dog has serious ishoos!

Very jealous of Jimmys, I really miss the place, not been to another half as good!

Jolleigh · 24/09/2013 22:02

I've still not fed myself. Really should. Eurgh.

karamcleod · 24/09/2013 22:10

I've not been in ages but it was better than I remembered, I love the Mr. Whippy. I so want to stick my head under the spout and just eat it straight from the machine... Ahaha
So good not too be feeling sick although I need to calm down I've put on 5lb's this week but still got 7lb's til I reach my pre-pregnancy weight.
I'm on my second box of capri-sun since yesterday! Shock

Sorry but I think it's maybe the cleaner who has issues that's bloody terrible!

karamcleod · 24/09/2013 22:13

Holy shit I just looked at the sugar content in a single juice pack. I need to find something else to indulge in :(

rescoonetwothree · 24/09/2013 22:15

kara i just messaged you my fb link in a private message on here - let me know if you get it - i haven't got yours!

Congrats on a girl rock

I think my bean is a boy. Heard the heart beat today for the first time, bit sporadic cos it was moving. 140 BPM midwife said. I think that is on the slower side, think that means it's a boy!

karamcleod · 24/09/2013 22:17

joll just eat junk, you can make up foer it when your feeling better by eating healthy.

OwlinaTree · 24/09/2013 22:26

kara I had stabby nipple pains at weekend, had forgotten till you mentioned it. In my case it's probably because they are so flippin massive, and keep growing!

All the rib talk is making me feel hungry for ribs - think I need a visit to harvester!

Jolleigh · 24/09/2013 22:27

I'd have to cook the junk though kara - I'm drooling one minute at the thought of a hot meal, heaving the next at the thought of prepping it. Had to be on the night OH is away for work Angry And I just plain don't fancy the thought of a takeaway. I'm thinking I'll give it up as a bad job tonight then do myself sausages for breakfast (if I can stand the thought of pork then...it's been one of my main puke triggers)

Jolleigh · 24/09/2013 22:29

I've never understood why people like ribs...always thought they were quite shit myself. Even got told to sample what was apparently 'the best rib ever' and it did nothing for me. The texture of the meat just feels wrong in my mouth.

IceNoSlice · 24/09/2013 22:36

Congrats Rock!

I had a bit of a mini-stress today about not having felt movement yet. I'm 18wks tomorrow and this is DC2 so I ought to feel movement earlier. But I went to preg yoga tonight and I'm pretty sure I felt wriggling during the relaxation bit. Smile

However I'm glad I was able to relax at all! TMI alert: I've felt so uncomfortable with trapped wind today I was convinced I was going to let out a massive fart during some of the moves. Pelvic floor was particularly tricky. Squeeze, fine. Release? Uh, I won't, thanks. Narrow escape - that would have been excrutiating.

IceNoSlice · 24/09/2013 22:38

Prambo did Lyra's rib description have the desired effect? Talk about food porn!

karamcleod · 24/09/2013 22:44

Owl big boobs suck, 36GG :( its gone now, touch hairy wood!

Jol I cannot stand ribs. Or any kind of meat on the bone for that matter. I'm actually feeling sick at the thought of it!

Jolleigh · 24/09/2013 22:50

kaea give me a good, juicy, rare rib eye steak any day Grin Now THAT I'd even cook right now lol

Jolleigh · 24/09/2013 22:50

or should I say kara Hmm daft phone-typing

NoMaybeAboutIt · 24/09/2013 22:53

Oh Joll I'm drooling!! Rare rib eye is amazing!!!

But I do love meat on the bone

Jolleigh · 24/09/2013 23:01

Also a fan of meat on the bone NoMaybe ...in fact; other than ribs I'm a pretty damned good carnivore. And the rarer the better for beef and lamb. Raw fish...can't beat some good sashimi. Oysters! I'm craving a lot of stuff I can't really have Sad

Prambo · 24/09/2013 23:02

Ice, I am actually moist at the thought of gnawing on some succulent ribs. I'm meat mental at the moment, it's like the court of Henry VIII round my gaff.

My wrecking ball tits are still improbably pert and bouncy. I can't believe it. They really are a work of art. It's just a pity my sweaty cleavage persistently reeks of cheese products. I don't even eat cheese Sad

More cock-squatting tonight but my thighs were a bit jelly-like by the end. Before you all go thinking I'm actually enjoying myself I'm not; I'm in training for labour. I have no sexual desire whatsoever. None. I occasionally fancy a strum when there's nowt on t'telly but invariably can't be arsed disrobing enough to get access.
