[IceNoSlice]

Thread 9

Shiny new thread. Welcome all those due to pop out a baby in March 14, whether you're an old hand or a newbie, come join the fun!

Welcome writer! I'm due on the 24th as well

All this food talk is making me hungry, which is good as we have lamb and roast veggies in the oven . Bit late, I know, but I've been working, DH has been studying and we're both lazy sods

Sorry, haven't been able to catch up with all the posts. What's up with your arm, mummy?

I've had to take a couple of paracetamol for lower back pain tonight. It's not just when I'm lay down any more...it kind of feels like I've had a fall and bruised it. This is just something I have to deal with, isn't it?
Have had a lovely roast dinner at mum's after barely being able to eat all day. Have drank 3litres of milk though...What's that about? ?

Yess pram make me own yorkshires not half bad either quite yummmmmy and piled up with parsnips lol ahh love me a roast stuffing yumyum x

im here prambo, just been throwing up the last few hours. clearly didn't phrase very well on my original post. I felt so sad seeing everything gawj is going through and it made me wish she could find someone amazing to be with. I also was shocked by kara's posts to be honest as I can't believe a guy would behave like that to his pregnant oh. I realise the post was a bit general but the idea of what they were going through really upset me but I felt uncomfortable name checking them both as I haven't been part of all the conversations so I made it quite general, not considering the whole thread would jump to the conclusion I was suggesting leaving partners at the slightest thing.

anyway, sorry to anyone who took offense, it was never intended that way.

Tomato chutney
Tomato jam
Tonato sauce

My OH is perfect. Perfect for me his flaws, warts and all makes the relationship interesting and compliments my own baggage issues. Stones and glass houses and all that. But the need to discuss and rant are all part of human nature practically a requirement otherwise we wouldn't be in monogamous relationships.

Saying that there are limits. gawjus you were with your partner for a reason. Good reasons I hope and your feelings won't change over night. But accepting violent and threatening behaviour is a very serious line to cross.

Currently eating curry with family, chicken biryani

Is anyone else going to baby show in London?

jo random question: how are your toilet endeavours going?

apprentice my mum did a fab roast lamb too. Unfortunately I feel crap today. Was almost sick this morning (I have only been sick once in all 3 pregnancies!) I'm so tired and I have the most horrendous heartburn and has the worst pain in my kidney area. I'm feeling so sorry for myself and want sympathy! Please! Thanks in advance!

They're not really bad right now liberuna - been a couple of occasions where I've felt like I was trying to shit out a dry sponge I've had difficulty but not nearly as bad as that first time as it generally resolves itself by the end of the day.

Lots of milk is good for baby. I'm still forcing myself to try and take my daily intake with not great success.

Sorry to hear all the issues today. Wonder agree with others - don't think you can force the issue, it will only build resentment on both sides. Can totally understand your frustration though. Kara would really draw the line at smoking indoors though - appreciate it's difficult though.

Apprentice I agree - counselling is the best place to raise your frustrations with an impartial person there. Hopefully you'll be able to move through concerns later this week.

Gawjus please be honest about your situation. I'm guessing you're probs worried about our disapproval but there is a lot of genuine concern for you out there. I do think there are a lot of people on here who have had similar experiences before - I do think their advice is very wise.

Now, new topic altogether. Those who know male/female so far, what were your experiences of ms? Just to see if we have any trends on that front.

Poor you Lumpy . If I had some cake, I'd share it with you. x

Sending you sympathy vibes over the interwebs, lumpy

Have some

Oohh poor lumpy have some milk or gavidcon

I had kidney infection last year so not nice. . Drink lots if water and put your feet up, you deserve it

I had a flu jab yesterday super.

Awww lumpy poor you

Is that enough?

I had a lovely roast for tea and now after reading I'm hungry again!
Lyra I gave all my spare tom's to my hens once I'd made a few chutneys and sauces, definately need a few less plants next year. But that's probably not an option for you :P
I'm sorry if I've bitched about OH too much he is quite a knob end sometimes but mostly he is great and he's my best friend and all though he's stubborn and hard headed I'm sure he'll do what's best for me and bean!

Awww, Lumpy Here, have these: and a for when you're not hurling chunks.

Babybear, I can see now where you were coming from and you are right; there are women on this thread who, I think, we are all worried about and want to help. I am thankful, though, that no-one has made me feel inadequate for taking th'usband back when he gambled. It's a toughie, because Gawj is so young and so very vulnerable with no-one in her life but her fella and her dad. I wish we could do more. We all have to make our own way in this life, I guess, but those of us who've put up with dangerous arseholes can't just stand back and say nowt.

Kara, I'm sure if you put your foot down hard enough your fella will tow the line. You strike me as someone who won't tolerate any fuckwittery. And rightly so

sympathy coming your way lumpy. Take it easy.

..Especially if u were unable to appreciate roast lamb joy. I'm still starry eyed in post lambal bliss!

Aw, thanks everyone. Your sympathy is wonderful. I feel better already. Going to bed now!! Night all.

Sleep well lumpy.

I'm off to bed soon too. I need to be bright eyed and bushy tailed for Monday morning!

I wonder if my midwife will turn up tomorrow?

cool - boy and I wasn't sick at all so i go with the stereotype!

I don't take shit, well not now. I've had enough shit in my 20 years on this planet. :) early night tonight I am bloody tired and I haven't done the dishes, or anything since this afternoon and it feels GREAT!

Evening all - just catching up on the last few days - been working this weekend (ugh!) so no time for MN. Sorry to hear about the smoking OHs but maybe they'll stop when new babies are here? I guess for them it's still all a bit abstract - we can feel the kicks inside (well some of us can) and our sickness etc is a constant reminder of what's going on so it's all very real for us. Hopefully they'll have a change of heart when they see their tiny, vulnerable offspring. Want to give a wave to writer - I think I remember that name from the July BFP bus. I'm due the same week as you! Sorry to hear about the scary bleeding etc. Had a bit of a (thankfully non pregnancy-related) scare myself today. Had to give a work presentation infront of about 400 people and the camera man collapsed in the middle of it! For about 10 mins we had no idea if he would make it but thankfully paramedics came and everything was ok in the end. We think he had low blood pressure, fainted then camera fell on his head, knocking him out. Feel shattered and emotionally drained now - just want to get a good sleep ready for the Mon-Fri slog. On the plus side DH cooked a roast mmmmm! Hope you feel better tomorrow lumpy.

Hello lovely ladies; I have only just discovered these threads so I'm a bit late to the party but I just wanted to pop my head in and say hi!

My DS is 16 months old and I'm now due twins (gulp!!) on 21st March! Totally shocked to be having twins but 3 weeks post-scan I think we're finally getting our heads round the news and are thrilled! Anyone else on here having or had twins? Feeling a bit at sea as I haven't had any appointments since the dating scan when we found out and apparently won't have another appointment until 28 weeks as this is my second pregnancy.

I just thought that because apparently I'm now considered high risk because it's twins (according to the sonographer) that I would see someone in between and get a chance to ask some of the 10 million questions flying round my head! :/

Anyway, sorry for the ramble! Hope everyone is well! :D
