NEW THREAD!!!! Could this be the last one before we all start to drop???

Sorry yes of course meant childbirth not pregnancy

Oh mossy if you still have an old school vcr I can send you the David Tennant tape if you like

SAZZY!!! I certainly do!!!!! Oh that would be lovely!!!! Email me with your address I'll send you an SAE, my email is msrlmoss @ hotmail . com - take the spaces out!!!

You are so nice!

Blimey - wasn't expecting you to get quite so excited
I'd be delighted to send it on - I'll email you

You weren't? At the thought of DT naked?

[being sick emoticon]

Lol Kitty! Hey at least we'll never come to blows over our respective TV boyfriends!

(I am sure that statement could be made to be laden with innuendo!!)

Well I'm off home now, see you all tomorrow!

lol kitty. And at Mossy's rampant PG sexy-time hormones.

I seem to have got past that bit now. Not that I actually wanted to have sex - just felt all unnecessary IYKWIM.

Now I just feel the football-between-my-legs no-penis-is-coming-near-me feeling. Bugger the prostaglandin. (Speaking of which, no doubt someone from the NCT will soon be spouting research suggesting that the semen should be inserted anally for best effect. Am starting to suspect that some of this 'research' is being done by adolescent boys).

An old flame actually came over to see me and DH on Saturday and brought his 2 year old son with him. This particular old flame is a bit of a looker as it goes - film-star looks. (Makes DH grumpy ). His son is also absolutely adorable. Any stirrings from me? None. I am officially a sex-free zone.

Nothing this end either, foxy. I just took the dog for a long-ish walk, made myself walk uphill, am popping the raspberry-leaf capsules and am looking at a pineapple (can't being myself to eat any). Will bounce on the birth-ball later).

Lunar and muppet: I don't feel ready either, but have been universally informed that one never really does, so now I'm on a mission.

Callie: great to hear you sounding so upbeat. You're a proper seasoned Mum now.

Are any of you pop-ees going to start a pos-natal thread? Not that I want you gone, you understand - you're giving us all hope that the end is in sight! I'm just obessessed with starting new threads.

Sazzy: hope you go into labour pre-induction. Get nipp-twiddling!

Piffle: I'm forever missing people's posts. I shall not take it personally .

Sazzy - is it David Tennant porn ?

Mossy - careful when you watch it - it might bring on labour !

Well my health visitor was as limp as she was last time .... I assured her I was still not using illegal drugs . She gave me a red book with someone elses details in it (which I pointed out and promptly returned) AND as she left said " thats a nice little play area" as DS2 was broooming cars down some boxes containing the new bathroom which were precariously balanced on their sides in the hallway..... WTF ??

Foxy - I too have been dealing all afternoon AND put Ds's cards into numerical order - me Bored ??

Sazzy, can't offer any advice, hope starting another thread helps

lol Boo, I know what you mean (yeah, right like I have a choice in the matter anyway).

Talking of new threads, we're due to start another one here soon. Have we decided on a title that's bound to annoy and offend???????

evening bumps!

Well had my scan, and have caused some headaches apparently with my consultant. I have gone from measuring off the scale to now, below average..... how very strange. They checked the blood flow to make sure hes recieiving enough and that was fine, so they have put it down to the last scan being wrong...not quite sure how to feel to be honest, relieved its not a humungous (sp) one but a bit annoyed that they could get it so wrong. Anyway i have to go back again next Monday to check things are ok, and to see the consultant again. He had mentioned something about inducing me, but have said that as long as the boy is safe i dont want to be induced. Piffle am inclined to be on your side now with scans showing diff weights sizes etc, i guess at the end of the day he will be what he is, as long as hes ok i really dont care !!

Diva, how did your appointment go? I am with you on the scoffing of Pinnapple, not sure if it works but hey ho in for a penny!!

Sazzy, hope you get/got some answers from the 'ole wise ones' at least you have a date though, its quite exciting knowing!

Kitty am sure we could think of a great title for our next thread, although my brain at the mo cant think of anything offensive, witty or annoying!!!

Hello girls

Just skimmed the last few posts - Sazzy I am going to go to your preg thread as I had polyhydramnios last time and it was very worrying. Over there in just a second .

No lust here either boo - am completely libido free. I was last time, and it does come back but took me a wee while.

Glad you are feeling better callie .

Hello everyone else! Sorry i can't reply to all but can't remember more than about 2 things at once XXXX

PS I ate about 5 tonnes of pineapple last time and still was induced at 42 weeks. I hope it works for everyone noshing it but if it does I shall be SUPER jealous. My consultant suggested lobster and champagne last time. She said lobster has something in it which gets you going *(ooer) and the champagne makes you mind less if it doesn't work. I think waving a large diamond at your fanjo might persuade a girl to come out, given my DD's penchant for sparkly things, but alas don't have a large diamond to try it out.

jay-i dont find it exciting knowing my date,in fact it reminds me of waiting for my GCSE results,ie,this is going to be the most boring,longest week of my life.ever.

my mum text me earlier saying she cant get a train ticket cos virgin trains arent selling any cos of the crash.

i dont know how the hell shes going to get up here

post-natal thread created here . Probably won't get much use until there are more of us mind. I can see two little hands waving from the sofa, time to go an feed (again - looks like the bath will have to wait - again).

Diva - can your mom get a National Express coach instead? (sorry have no clue where you or your mom are)

Boboo - Now I just feel the football-between-my-legs no-penis-is-coming-near-me feeling. Bugger the prostaglandin. (Speaking of which, no doubt someone from the NCT will soon be spouting research suggesting that the semen should be inserted anally for best effect. Am starting to suspect that some of this 'research' is being done by adolescent boys).

PMSL!!!

His bath, not mine, I mean. I have managed to wash today - that hasn't happened every day

Oh yes, Mossy, will post a link to DP's website when I get the chance.

Diva, have you got a date then? Have i missed something??

Jay, don't worry, as you can tell scans are mad. My friend who has just had her 10lber said that when she was having all her scans ( I think she had 1 a week for ages) that sometimes the baby seemed to actually shrink, now that's just not possible is it ? Just goes to show how inaccurate they can be. I mean a couple of mm mismeasurement and it puts you in a completely different place. The differences are SO small between above and below average. You know whether the baby is growing, go with your gut feeling at this stage.

Kitty - totally agree re. the scans. QC dated my EDD as today based on a length scan at 12 weeks. It would have had to be the immaculate conception according to their dates

My Dad just rang (he's supposed to be looking after the kids while I'm in labour) and basically said I'd better not go into labour on Weds, as he is too busy to come over on Weds and well, I can't expect the whole world to arrange itself around me having a baby

I am really upset - now I have to ring his partner tomorrow to see if she can look after the children if it happens on Wednesday

the national express takes 9 hours,i dont think she would be able to cope with that.ive just been looking on the vigin trains website and it reckons the service is only affected between lancaster and carlisle(she has to change at lancaster to get here anyway)so methinks she spoke to a clueless idiot at the train station.

booboo-wasnt the anal thing suggested on that slagging off of thread titles thread ?i seem to remember lowering the tone even futher than it had already gone.

callie-i have found over the years that the only way to ever get a bath/shower again when you are alone in the house with a baby is to take baby into the bathroom with you.i had an extra bouncy chair in the bathroom for dd2

kitty-i was given an induction date when i was 30 weeks and my bp had been playing up.im glad i asked then cos bp is baing good now,but its all booked and sorted.7th march...a week on wednesday.

fox-you have to go into labour when its convenient for other people,you know,how dare you expect your father to be available at any time when you've only given him 8 months' notice!!

if my EDD(which was based on my 12 week scan)is right then i conceived 5 days after i ovulated,when it had been 3 days since i last had sex.super-sperm

aww fox, thats a bit insensitive of your Dad, surely he knows babies arent sent to us on demand????

Thanks Kitty, i was a bit worried at first, to think he had shrunk so much, but i heard the heartbeat and the bloodflow through the cord, also saw the pressure through it and all is well, so didnt feel to bad after. Its just the fact that one thing can happen one week then something else the next, sometimes i wonder how necessary they are at this late stage. I have to say though that this baby does feel bigger and heavier than DD but as i said before, time will tell!!

LOL callie, i dont think i managed to have a bath everyday when DD was ickkle, and the fact he hasnt had one is irrelevent, i mean its not like he does a marathon everyday and needs one! You sound like you are really getting to grips with motherhood, how quickly we get into a whole new way of life!!

Diva, i can see where you are coming from with the being bored in the run up to your date, but at least there is an end in sight! made me laugh when you put GCSE results, i did o'levels...makes me feel old!

sweet little 23 year old dp keeps reminding me that i'm nearly 30...but at least i did gcse's not o-levels!

guess my only consolation is that i was the LAST year to do them !!! MY DH (5 1/2 yrs my junior) like to rub it in all the time....
