evening all, just checkin in, I need to catch up on whats been happening but my dinner is ready and I just saw your post bex about chicken butties.

That's what Ive been eating since last night, dh roasted a chicken and its divine! Ive added coleslaw and it hits the spot! Im about to have some now.

Kittyrose1 · 09/02/2014 17:54

Sounds like we are all feeling pretty ropey!
I woke in the middle of the night feeling sick but wasn't, then today I was stood in a shop queuing to pay and I suddenly came over really unwell, came home and slept an hour and a half. Been laying on the sofa since. I've got a really horrible "hangover" type tummy, it's obv not a hangover, is it a common pg symptom? I feel sicky with it and tired beyond belief!
Wishing you all some relief ladies x

We are a right bunch aren't we?!
I feel useless, the house looks like a bomb's gone off but I just can't face it. Dh just cleaned the kitchen for me so I can go and do dinner. In a minute...

On a positive note, I just had my booking in appt and have learned that there are some changes to the forbidden food list since last time I was preggers and now I can eat sushi, cured meats and Stilton!!! I am one happy lady!

Lotty I'm pretty sure of my dates as I was using opks and we only dtd once on the day I got a smiley, plus according to the scan dates I would have got my BFP two days after conception!

topmammy · 09/02/2014 18:29

Chicken and coleslaw butties sound sooo nice! I want one now! Had a warm one of those at Dublin airport once in a crusty baguette, mmmm!

I've just resurfaced after having a nap for a couple of hours, feeling super tired.

Ms seems to be a bit better really, but seems to have been replaced by tiredness. Saying that though last night in a half asleep state I randomly sat bolt upright, coughed and wretched. No vom though thank God!

broodylicious · 09/02/2014 18:29

lh Stilton is ok?!?!! Omg!!!!!!

Today I did laundry and hoovered!!! I woke up feeling physically quite well. Of course then descended into emotional melt down but so relieved to have not felt impossibly nauseous all day. Maybe 10 weeks was my turning point and now I'll "bloom" obviously unrealistic optimism is part of emotional incompetence

broody advice is to avoid it but only because of a minute chance of poisoning from blue vein cheeses. Please don't panic! Xx

LH1981 · 09/02/2014 18:48

Apparently Stilton is fine, but that's the only blue cheese that is ok. Says my widwife anyway. I'm going to check on Google for a current food list x

BexBoo12 · 09/02/2014 18:50

Nhs has an avoid foods list

topmammy · 09/02/2014 18:51

I wouldn't eat Stilton if you paid me to. Not because I think there is too much risk but because it is so disgusting! I call it the smelly socks cheese, haha.

LH1981 · 09/02/2014 18:54

I LOVE Stilton!! Yep. NHS says it's fine. Just not soft blue cheese.

Daytona79 · 09/02/2014 19:08

I've had a great day, got up had breakie, walked my dogs.

Then went to the yard (I have a horse). Stuck her in the trailer and drive to local Forrest, rode for two hours round the woods, got back to yard, cleaned my trailer, got home at 5pm made dinner for me and hubby.

Quite proud of myself :-)

I find if I sit about I tend to feel ill etc, but if I get up and get out keeping busy I feel pretty much normal.

Daytona79 · 09/02/2014 19:09

But I did wake at 1am this morning and felt really really sick , which is strange. Managed to go back asleep without being sick. Thank goodness

broodylicious · 09/02/2014 19:13

Whoop whoop!!! I'm going to have a smelly sock cheese feast!!! Haha. Always thought it was off the menu but thinking back, that was Brie as I love that too.

daytona good for you! I was never sick when I was at the yard or riding in my last pregnancy. Well, bar the time I had a little sick come up during a dressage test but tbh that could just have well been nerves! Reckon you're right about being busy and not having time to dwell on feeling yukky.

Yes defo I'm c

Daytona79 · 09/02/2014 19:19

Yes defo I'm convinced being outside busy in fresh air helps, one day I did stay in and I sat on the sofa, feeling exhausted and ill. But if I get up and outside first thing with a plan for the day I feel ok.

misog2000 · 09/02/2014 20:41

I always feel better once I get to the yard too Daytona, think its a combination of the fresh air and 'having' to just get on with it as she isn't going to muck herself out lol

Daytona79 · 09/02/2014 21:26

Yeah totally I'm sure it's prob the same for pregnant women who also have say a toddler to look after, you just got to suck it up and get on with it , feelng ill or not type thing.

broodylicious · 09/02/2014 21:28

Apart from a horse is helluva lot easier to deal with than a toddler!! Wink

Ladies ive fallen over and hurt my foot :(
My gosh it fucking hurts!
I did this in mu 1st pregnancy (fell down stairs on holiday, concrete stairs)
its the same foot and cant put all weight on it :(
it came out of place last time and some handy man popped it back in (no pain relief whatsoever! )

misog2000 · 09/02/2014 21:44

Oh dear broodylicious don't say that......I'm already panicking about knowing nothing about babies or small children!

misog2000 · 09/02/2014 21:45

sounds painful isitme, hope you can get it sorted again soon

broodylicious · 09/02/2014 21:53

misog don't worry about it Smile a lot of it is the same as a horse (geldings anyway) - tell baby what you want, be kind, understand how they think/feel, they do it. Lol! Xx
