Martians 2014 Thread 14: on intra-uterine discos and knocking stuff over with your bump.

[SuperMuddle]

Come join us on our shiny new thread!

Well the sick note is only for next week but I don't intend on going back. I need to make an app t with my gp to see if he'll sign me off till my ml starts.
I found that although I didn't need friends when I'd had ds1 but they have a habit of finding you!!

Foxy, I am being entirely serious. I had three minutes of ultrasound last Friday, which resulted in a worse pain that same evening. Since then I have had not a scintilla of pain in my arches and stomped back from the hospital today on foot (fifty minutes). The physio said that ultrasound causes sonic waves to infiltrate and disperse inflamed tissue and that it is quite usual to only require one session.

P.s..the haemorrhaging lady in the bible is not make-believe but I don't think a streaking man is part of the Gospels. Can you direct me to said passage?

Comms, hate 'feeders', especially the fat ones who simply want everyone else to be as fat as them. Would you like my gavel so you can unceremoniously smash them over the head?

Everything is repeating on me today. I've got heartburn from a bloody apple.

That sounds brilliant cookie!

I didn't mean to suggest the haemorrhaging lady was make believe I was just saying she was exaggerating her story to get in the bible. I was just being silly.

I wish I could direct you to the passage about the streaking man but I don't know my bible well enough! They always read it at Easter. It's when Jesus enters Jerusalem, I think. It goes something like 'suddenly a man streaked through the crowd' and then carries on with the story with no further mention of the streaker.

Mummyp it's awful isn't it? I'm trying to work out what I need to avoid eating but it's pretty much everything which doesn't help!

Cookie I think a loan of your gavel would be a good option right now. They're all serial biscuit/cake eaters who have up on me long ago but this pregnancy seems to have given them a new lease of life. I keep getting told I need to 'give the baby a treat'

Foxy, I am deeply upset by your suggestion that any kind of haemorrhaging should be taken lightly, especially that which took place 2,156 years ago. Note to self: never go to Foxy with a nose bleed.

Fox Yeah I do a lot of batch cooking so I don't have to cook things from scratch every night. Sometimes I am home by 6:30 but only maybe about once a week. I get to lie in til 9am if I want to though.

Comms, you really do have my sympathy. Maybe try passing around the hummus and celery sticks saying: 'Any of you mammoth-arsed fuckers want a snack?'

Your colleagues do sound particularly annoying comms. Also, 'yes' to the Maggie Howell natal hypnotherapy CDs. Thems the ones I got.

Yes comms those are the ones. Don't bother with Amazon though - the whole set is anything from £30-£50 brand new but managed to get 3 of the CDs for £4.99 from ebay (plus whole load of maternity wear for 99p!!). The poor seller must have been weeping - everything was as good as new.

good call painaux my mates just done the full course and said she regretted paying out for classes as the books /cd are just as good!

comms yesterday I had no heartburn, almost constant today, and I've not eaten anything very exciting so I don't know what causes it. It's so annoying.

i've dodged the heartburn so far, much to the disappointment of my sil, she was chugging industrial sized bottles of Gaviscon from about 4months. It was horrible for her, so my sympathies are with anyone suffering

Yay, thread has got busy again!!

Foxy if you go to baby groups you will make friends with other mums - I was the first of my friendship group to have a baby and felt very isolated at first (no friends in similar situation, no colleagues any more to talk to about real life) so I started going to the sure start centre and doing free classes and groups there - the ones aimed at folk with babies specifically are brilliant (we had breastfeeding group, and a birth to walking group) and I've made some brilliant friends there as everyone was in the same situation. The ones aimed at 0-5's were scary with a baby as I felt like I was the only one who didn't know anyone, but go to them happily now that I know people there!

Lumpy you're doing the right thing, there's no point sacrificing your health for the sake of work.

My hips are agony today, have finally admitted defeat and I've been to the dr for a physio referral

There's f all on tele and my kindle has decided to deactivate itself and as it's registered on my mums account I can't re activate it and get my books back without her details and she's away!! This wouldn't happen with a good old fashioned book!

Gaviscon is my best friend!

My parents are here. They arrived at 6pm. They are driving me bonkers already!! They moan a lot. Not at me - but about the roads, the TV programme that they are forcing me to watch about Tudor farms, about people I don't really know... Annoying!! I would blame the pregnancy hormones but I always feel like this with my family

lumpy can u get I-player? we're watching 'it's a beautiful after life' HILARIOUS!

Lumpy, have you actually had any physio yet?

lumpy glad you're taking some much deserved time off. sucky about the book reader.

Are we allowed to take Rennies?

comms I would tell your colleagues that your doctor as said that too many sugary, fatty people food is bad for baby. At least you can guilt them into leaving you alone.

cookie so glad your feet are sorted . I've never heard of such a treatment or of either of those bible stories.

Rennies are fine, however mint flavour can actually make acid reflux more likely so stick to fruity ones :)

Rocky, what you doing up at this ungodly hour? Listening to thrash metal or summat?

I can't stand gaviscon so I take rennies, the mint ones (sorry rock) I haven't seen any fruit ones.

Yeah cookie I've seen the physio 3 times. She gave me the belt that does help but my pelvis keeps becoming misaligned then the belt makes it worse and I have to have it manipulated back. She gave me the crutches last time to try to help me go longer before "slips" it's happened again tho. I can't walk more than about 200m without being in agony! And it was when the mw started talking about morphine that I realised that unless I want to spend the next 15 weeks doped up risking the baby I need to do as little as possible!!!
