bubblez · 24/01/2007 17:26

I have to say though that I am getting a lot more braxton hicks in general then with dd anyway. Not just when 'doing the deed'. And either I don't remember them right or they are just more painful then when I had them with her.

Sexonslightlypuffylegs · 24/01/2007 17:40

Well, I am losing in the nipple size contest. Mine are only 4 cm's! Can't believe I measure them - I need to get out more!!

The hairdressers was awful. Becky refused to do anything she was asked and it was a relief to get out of there.

Flump,I just had Tesco delivery and the guy was really helpful here as well. He didn't bring stuff in to the kitcen, but he lifted stuff out for me and told me not to rush - bless him!

Right, need to get tea for madam!

Hi CharlnBump.

Did someone say something?

Welcome back charnbump!

Aw Ellie, that happens to me loads too, I just figure it must be everyone having tea or bathing kids or whatever. It´s normally what makes me think I´ll go have something to eat too!

Bloody HILARIOUS that you are all now measuring your nipples - what have I started??! - I don´t have a ruler or measuring tape and anyway - I WOULDN´T TELL although I am rather curious now...bunch of weirdos

I just had a chopped pork sandwich, been years since I ate that, probably since school but it was really yummy. I blame the pregnancy hormones.

Charnbump, as documented by my BITCH of a mw I have gained 8 kgs so far (27 weeks) but it seems to be going in fits and starts of gaining nothing for ages and then loads at once so I am not even going to try and guess what the final weight will be. Hoping that lots of sunshine and summer salads will sort it out without too many tears

maveta · 24/01/2007 18:11

LOL @ Liath

flumppootle · 24/01/2007 18:15

Liath

Chopped pork sandwich Maveta?????????
I cant even begin to imagine what that is

maveta · 24/01/2007 18:16

I am now going to run a lovely hot bath (sorry, no not HOT, no, no way, that would be just ONE luxury too far for a pregnant woman, of course it will be warm, only a smidgen more than tepid, in fact ) and read a parenting mag my sis brought me over.

Nipple measurage may or may not occur. I cannot guarantee anything either way.

and by the way and OH.MY.GOD do we REALLY have to start looking for our cervixes (is that the plural) soon? One of the earlier threads than ours is doing it and it really freaked me out.

runnyhabbit · 24/01/2007 18:25

Evening everyone

Liath - such great news! Really happy for you

I measure 5cm

Bump has been so solid today, its made my tummy feel a bit numb iykwim. Decided to measure my waist (well, seeing as I had the tape measure out anyway ) 42 INCHES!!!! I was only about 30ish to start off with and I've put on 2 stone, which might explain why lots of my maternity clothes feel tight As everyone keeps pointing out to me - I look like I have beachball up my top and do not look pregnant from behind.

Sorry if I've missed anyone out. Am sooo tired lately, and having a lot of trouble sleeping (needing to wee, baby moving, SPD, dh snoring......the list is endless)

Not sure if its the tiredness, but feeling a little bit down tonight. Have no logical reason for it, just these darn pregnancy hormones

10 weeks & 6 days to go........OMG!!

EllieK · 24/01/2007 18:29

At least it will be warm in the bath Maveta and you wont get the scruched effect

How was your appointment weeonion? Hope you are okay

Sexonslightlypuffylegs · 24/01/2007 18:49

Runny, sorry to hear you are feeling a bit low. Seems we are all feeling a bit blue this week.

Looking for our cervix? What's that all about then?

Re weight gain, I think I am up by about 1 1/2 stone now which sounds a lot. Hopefully it is all baby and nothing to do with chocolate doughnuts!

The glands under my armpit are really sore. It was the left armpit at the weekend and now it's the right.
By the way, a stupid question I know, but how do you know if you have a uti?

flumppootle · 24/01/2007 18:57

Big hugs for Runny, hope you get some rest tonght.
SOL, UTI is usually weeing little and often, can cause burning down below and some cramps low down. Even just feeling low and out of sorts can be a Uti. Best to get it checked out.

eca · 24/01/2007 19:32

hey lovlies

not had chance to catch up today's gos yet, but just wanted to say hello. Made it to pregnancy yoga class this morning and it was wonderful! Really enjoyed it. We did some massage which was so relaxing. Can't wait to teach it to dh this evening! It's the 1st time i've met some other pregnant mums in RL too which was nice.

Then was out working freezing and hungry again this afternoon! Not sure how long I'll keep it up for, we'll see. Hoping that mild weather will come back soon!

Right going to catch up!

EllieK · 24/01/2007 19:36

Hope you feel better soon RH and not so low..
BTW I'm so pleased that you and Elliek have joined me with the 5cm nips.. This is one time I don't want to top the leader board..

bubblez · 24/01/2007 19:47

Oh and checking cervix's?????? y???

EllieK · 24/01/2007 19:51

waiting for maveta to haul herself out of that hot bath and explain the cervix thing!

just seen a thread where they're looking up google images of christian names, a good tool to use in deciding on name for baby?!

try it, is very funny

go to google.co.uk, above where you type what you want to search for you can select images, then enter your first name and see what comes up

this is one of mine

mammyjo · 24/01/2007 20:01

I am hoping that my cervix will remain pretty well hidden as I dont really want to find it!

Thanks to everyone for your good wishes. Saw the midwife who is not overly worried about me. May have a UTI so have to take sample up to the hospital tomorrow morning. Will hopefully know by tomorrow afternoon whether it is anything or not. Blood pressure ok, baby ok so I really dont know why I feel crap. Bought some Floradix though so will give that a try for a bit.

I havent yet done the nip measuring as only last night my dh commented on how large they were so am scared of topping the leader board! He reckons that because they are large we are having a boy - not quite sure what the logic of that is!!
