Lizzz - brilliant advice, thanks. I bought some of the Miriam Stopard maternity bras in Debenhams sale - they have flexi underwire in, so still hoist them up sufficiently. The soft bras from M&S are suprisingly comfy, but again I agree about the "trained" bra fitters there. Used to work there in the summer holidays, and refused to measure people as I didn't know how. John Lewis were fab though.

Been to physio today for my pelvic pain and have a new accessory. It's a very gorgeous support belt. Hopefully it'll help as the pain has been worse this week.

Have a fab weekend all. I'm going to be resting... that's the plan anyway!

another nosebleed this morning.

I'm well a truely fed up with the pregnancy lark now.

I told DH yesterdya that unless he has the snip once this baby is born we're never have sex again. And as amusing as that sounds I fcking well mean it......I NEVER* want to be PG again and for quite obvious reasons we cannot be trusted to use condoms. I'm not being pumped fulll of chemicals by going on the pill, and I'm definatley not having a coil...YUK, that make me cringe.
And anyway, why the fuck should I be pumped full of chemicals or have a little device inside me so that he can get his end away??
I will have given birth 4 times, giving him 4 sons.
He's giving me no end of grief.

It's payback time now.

So unless he get his wanger sniped, we are not having sex. FULL STOP.

(happy today, aren't I??)

Morning LTH (i'll miss the 'goog' bit off as not sure if it is a good morning for you!) saw you on the other thread about who's up! We have discussed whats happning after this baby as I am not having any more kids (and Ill only have 2!!) he says well I think about it. No you won't think about it you'll have done or like you doors are well and truly closed, his excuse his because of his heart condition is it safe ffs it s nowhere near his heart he doesnt have to have general anthesaetic (sp?) he is just a scaredy cat as our BIL had it done on xmas eve last year and spent all of xmas day moaning!

he'll be moaning more when his bollocks are swollen up through lack of sex.
I'm not even going to touch the digusting hairy things unless he gets it chopped.

The way I'm feeling today, I'll do it for him in the backgarden with pitch fork and 2 bricks.

Sorry for butting in. (Its very funny here though.) Just want to leave a message for Oonaghbunagh to say hi (waves)and to look in chat at try this its cute.

(round of applause) for giving the men what for!
Good grief, we go through 9 months of sore boobs, sore backs, SPD, stretch marks, insomnia, nose bleeds, fainting, blood tests, being booted to hell and back, then hours (sometimes days) of pain, more needles, ripping, suturing, then a period of sore boobs (whether bf or ff), agony when we just want a poo, years of incontinence, varicose veins, piles, and possible surgery to correct. And they have the cheek to balk at a local anaesthetic and teensy cut just becuase it's on their oh so precious wrinkled sac. Hmpf.

Oh crap. Should have previewed, those claps were arranged in a circle when I typed them

what also pisses me off with my DH is that he seems to think that because my prev PG have been quite easy going this one is too.

I've lost count of how many times I've said I'm struggling, in pain, or I feel it's aged me 20 yrs. He must see a difference in me, he's not stupid....but he still thinks I can carry on as usual.
He just phoned (no doubt to check up on me not being on here) and asked what I'm doing today(obviously forgetting that by the time he'd got up I'd hung the washing up, washed up last night dinner stuff and tumbled dried another laod of washing already)
I felt like saying "fuck all" because thats what I wantto do but apparently it's such a nice day I should go to the beach with the kids and dog.

I just want to sit on the sofa and do nothing.

It not likely though is it??

I will go to the beach with the kids and the dog but I'll park the car next to a bench and sit on it for 15 minutes while the kids throw the ball.

I hope he's not expecting any dinner tonight because he won't be getting any.

my prev PG's even....christ I can't believe I'm going to have 4 kids.

Heaven help me....

Oh dear LTh def a bad day for you today at least it is a nice day and you havent got the 3 boys driving you mad indoors because its raining!! My DH just phoned me on mobile and said where are you no answer at home told him I was food shopping with DD (bad idea 99% of time but on sat am as well) oh since you're there can you get...... and lists half a ton of crap that we don't need nor am I going to waste money buying aaargh if he wants it go queue in the supermarket and get it. He had DD yesterday wilst I worked he wanted to go into town to get some new gloves and scarf so he drops dd off to mil first so he can go in peace (what does he think I have to do when I need to go into town not take her) then he tells me hes spent £47 on a scarf and gloves FFS my whole maternity wardrobe hasnt cost that so took them back from him and got a refund this morning and bought him almost identical set in next for £15!!Men huh thats what got me in the this mess in the first place!!!!!

well, I'm still here....dog is in the garden and the boys are watching a video.

And i managaed to break the computer desk by pushing the keyboard pully out drawer thingy in too hard. had to take the bloody runners off it to get the drawer back out. Crawling about on the floor to see underneath the drawer so I could unscrew it all wasn't my idea of fun.

FFS...can I go back to bed and start today again??

Going out now...before I commit murder.

Hope your day got better yesterday LTH!

DH working again today so just me and DD and my back is killing me, going to pop up to MIL in a minute as she has found some of my nieces clothes in her loft so going to look if there are any I want (think there are a few things we bought for her so may use them for this one she said there is a pink newborn snowsuit which may come in handy in Jan!)

DD is in ahelping mood today so far he has (tried!) to hoover for me and 'helped' me get veg ready for dinner (chopped her carrot with a plastic knife so didnt get very far) and she keeps asking to make a cake (think daddy put the idea in er head as he wants choc fudge cake for pudding) so pop round tesco when they open to get some caster sugar and more eggs!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend (Jess how did things go with DH on fri night?) x

hello all.I caught the bug from kids after all and spent all night fri and most of sat sat on toilet with a bucket between my legs.Was convinced must be seriously bad for baby,what do you lot think?oh and lth totally agree on the snip front,my husband booked in for febuary!Dont think my body could go through all this again.Hope you all enjoying the weekend,and enjoy your sunday lunches!Ill be sipping water and attempting to eat toast!

Actually a positive thought just occured to me,if i had caught worms there certainly wont be any now!

Hi all.

Dh is so bloody frustrating! He couldn't see at all what the problem was, I quote " It's not as if I do it every week and you would rather me stay out because you hate it when I am really pissed" And do you know what the most annoying thing is!?!?!?!? I just can't keep up the angry silent treatment with him and he knows it! The fact is, we get on so well 90% of the time, he is my best mate, so we naturally fall back into chatting and having a laugh. He is just a bit of a party animal i guess and I am not...well sometimes . I know he flt guilty deep down, because after me losing it friday night and having a go at him, he sat down in front of the telly and didn't say a word. And if he believed he was in the right etc then he would have argued back and made a point, but instead he just took it and sat looking sad and sulky. Hopefully we are back on track..!?!

Well, on an up note, Basil Brush live was fantasitic!! dd and I had the best time ever! I had belly pains cause I laughed so much! And our friend who we were with got pulled up on stage to help Basil with his show! It was amazing. The subtle adult humour was spot on. I understand that he is on tour, so if he is near you, go see him! Also, dh and I saw Little Brtain at the Hammersmith Appollo last night and that was wicked to. We got on really well, so what am I to do Hey ho! Gonna try not to stress out.

Got mil and fil for roast dinner tonight (who after discussing son with thinks that he is having a mid life crisis!?!?!) And dh has bought one of those firework displays in a box, the one were you light just one fuse to set off the whole lot. So should hopfully have a nice evening..

Thanks for all the advice girls and putting up with my ranting!

Welcome all newbies!

And totally agree with the 'no sex or have the snip!'

Hope you are all having a good weekend.x.

Jess

glad all okay jess sounds like you have a nice evening planned. I've just stuck the roast potatos in the oven and dh should be home around 4 so dinner at 4.30 followed by home made choc fudge cake that me and dd made earlier.

Have been so bored today as not used to dh working sundays and my mum and dad out for day popped to mil but she was going out as fil away golfing for the weekend so only stayed for abit, never mind dd and i been for a walk and found a leafy lane so we have been leaf kicking and she is currently watching the wiggles attempting to join in with heads shoulders knees and toes!

OK so we have just had rugs cleaned, which included some treatment to stop the moths coming back. Should I be worried about whatever dodgy pesticide they used on it? Too tired to think let alone move them out of the bedroom.

LMAO at LTH! W're the opposite, my DP wants to get the snip after this bub (he only wants one) but I want 2. I'm hoping he'll change his mind.

Jessdibs, keep your DH in check, he sounds like hes goes 'on one' now and again, my DP did this last year and I soon booted him in to touch!

Bit worried about bubs, I can usually SEE movement but haven't been able to today. Pregnancy paranoia has reared its head again

Its reassuring that others are having problems sleeping! Do you thinks this a valid excuse to not go in to work? I don't like having time off, but on friday I was so tired my eyes were stinging and I felt really lightheaded I wake up at least once a night and can't get back off for hours, its SOOOO frustrating as I'm knackered.

Sorry for glum post.

Hope everyone has had a nice weekend. x

Buggy arrived Spent last night with dh assembling it from the box and it's now sitting in the hallway. And the maxi-cosi carseat is in the car boot. I sat putting it in and out last night - it fits ok (although the seatbelt is at absolutely full stretch to go around it - I'm not using an isofix base) but seems a bit wiggly and insecure when it's in and I try to move it around. Is that normal?

Oh DP I think not having slept is a totally valid excuse for not going into work - you won't be any use if you go in anyway. If your manager's not cool with it, think of something more contagious.

Well, I had a bit more sleep last night but now my back is aching. Is it about this time that our bubs will be moving in to the head down position?

Think so DP - mine has def turned and is now wedging feet in my ribcage. Fingers crossed it stays put there!

Muppet, after spending the weekend shopping for car seat and pram system, feel like a bit of an expert at the mo, (pg brain has not yet robbed me of the ability to recall this info!).
Apparently the way to test your car seat is in ok is to give it a hefty shove with the heel of your hand in the area where baby's head would be, it shouldn't move. Obviously make sure as you are putting it in that you pull tight on the seat belt.
I finally mananged to get mine too, I had a few problems trying to get one for a cinquecento, but eventually got one in Mothercare for £35! Bargain! Apparently it's the same one as the Britax rock a tot, but made by fisher price - I have to say I was sceptial at first that it might be a 'my first doll's car seat' but it has all the safety info on it!. This one too only fits with the seat belt on full stretch in the passenger seat.
LTH, I think after 4 kids you are fully obliged to ask your DH to go for the snip. Crikey the way they go on you'd think it was the same as asking them to cut it off completely with a rusty saw.

Thank you! I shall wander downstairs later and try shoving it like that. When I can drag myself out of my dressing gown and into the shower that is ... am loving this maternity leave far too much Online shopping rocks
