BeckyAu ? the deception is quite stressful I found especially as they?ll later find out you were lying to them! This time, I?m telling people on a needs must basis when I can?t get round it. I have actually been surprised when people haven?t even asked why I?m on softies but most people have asked. I guess, given today?s headlines, if people know you are TTC, you could always say that is why? Otherwise, get someone who knows to get your drinks!
Barristermum ? that is true. When I MCd in March, I was so glad a few close friends and family knew. It was exhausting having to tell people from scratch. I of course hope that this is never something that happens to you I was at a champagne tasting with clients the night I MCd actually, it was pretty awful, had I known the outcome, I would have drunk the champagne rather than swirled it round my mouth and then spat it out ? always an option for you, at least you get to taste the stuff even if you don?t swallow it! Virgin G+Ts are the way forward! That said if entertaining at home, I am addicted to 0% Cobra beer ? yum! No Bank Holiday for me but all my clients will be on hols so at least it should be quiet!
Birdseed that is a tricky one ? give that sauna a wide berth! I was at a Hen when pg before and managed to avoid the Spa by saying it was ?the time of the month? and I didn?t feel like it, seemed to work and was only a half lie as it would have been that time had AF turned up! Don?t envy you that porridge pan! It is lonely at this stage I think; I think you naturally feel a bit introverted too. It might be nice to share with your S&BIL you are so close in dates that it might be just the support you need.
Housemum you are due on my b?day now! DH and I did that with wine at a wedding and as he was drinking for 2, he was totally plastered! PMSL it?s not essential to be devious as a lawyer but it does help! I?m like you, boobs grew a couple of sizes immediately but now my waist is definitely going my trousers are very tight today and I haven?t put on any weight yet. I can also see that I look different; the bit just under my rib cage is sticking out! This is my 3rd pg (though 1st baby) and I can?t help wondering if because the last time was only March and I got to 10 weeks that my body just knows what to do this time and has just let go, that said, I think most of it is bowel distension and bloating, the baby?s only a couple of cms!
Hello letsgo it is exhausting! That?s why I can?t be bothered this time!
Hey Lilyloo ? a special secret between you two is lovely when I was last pg, I felt I had a secret smile all the time!
Awen poor you hon I can empathise; I have felt like that before. Sounds like a migraine. I find that I know whether I?d prefer heat or cold and put either an ice filled cloth on my head or a warm one, worth a try! Have you had any ginger biscuits? The ginger helps with the nausea. I think you can safely use Tiger Balm on your temples but I haven?t tried that as I hadn?t looked into whether or not it was safe. Hope you feel much better soon.
Skibump glad things went well today. Bleeding is so scary in pregnancy isn?t it? Even if it means nothing bad, it?s just the fact of it that worries you. Sending hugs and support. Take good care of yourself! Like the sound of your beanies growth support and HB maybe you will be like my friend Greedy on the TTC Graduates thread ? she?s had lots of bleeding and clots throughout and is now 20 odd weeks. Seek her out if you want a chat, she?s lovely! I read that article and it made me angry, we live in such a nanny state! The only reason for the change in guideline is because they feel some people are not taking the guideline of 1-2 units a week seriously enough! WTF! I?m not drinking at the moment either but later on, if I feel like it, I might have a nice glass of red wine on a Sat night and I don?t want to be eyeballed by the public for it as if I am being irresponsible with my baby
Katyt1 ? hope people are really excited for you! Odd comment about the roller-skates! that said, my Mum was out roller-skating with us when she was 4 months pg with my sis, she fell and my father was furious but my baby sis was fine!
Hey Plummy ? how are you? have to say, I am snobby about drinks from the gun but that?s cos I worked in a bar for years! I like tonic water plus the quinine stops muscles from cramping apparently, my calves cramp quite a lot at the mo.
Goingfor3 hello, I feel like you do I have to say ? apart from the cleaning, evenings are my worst time, I can?t be bothered to do anything
Congratulations Bluebell wishing you a very happy and healthy pregnancy!
Gingeme ? have a good weekend!
