morning all.
i ache. hips especially. at 6am i even considered paracetomol but managed to get back to sleep without it and its a lot better than it was. Sometimes i worry about hips as mine were dislocated at birth but really should be ok now but they havent yet had to cope with childbirth. but it could be my fault for jumping on dh last night..
lwatkins - sry about deadline. what a nightmare. anyway all over til september now ?? i went to uwe ummmm a few years ago quite a few...was only just uwe then)
scoot - yep still up for today
lgandt - news!?
befnalbub - welcome back!
and hello to pebble, julie, cinnamon and everyone else. keep smiling! pregnancy is a wonderful thing honest!!

MarsLady · 18/05/2007 10:32

Just get your men to indulge in some heavy duty sucking on the old nipples. What makes you orgasm girls? Love got the baby in and love will get it out.

scootermum · 18/05/2007 10:34

Morning all,

Hurrah. its not raining!

DD slept woke at 5 this morning but then went back to sleep 6 till 10 so the real Scooter and I went back to bed as well..feel a bit more chipper as at 5 I was close to tears I was so tired!

I was so hot in the night I had to get up and mop my face with a cold flannel..It was so humid here..gaaah I hope it isnt like that whenever I give birth..no pains this morn, so my two paracetomol last night have obviously had some effect!

Your uni are complete tossers Lwatkins..that said I dont think I ever once got an essay in on time..Leeds only knocked 2 marks a day off so I used to give myself the extra weekend where needed..Try and get some rest hon..more important than your essay now..

Lol at the rabies dance TYG..

Wish I could get hold of a man servant..My DH has been in the library since about 8am I think and whenever he is here he is wittering on about cost analysis and all the other exciting accountancy stuff that he is revising..Will I be glad when these exams are over!

My antenatal from DD friend is taking DD to Paradise wildlife park this aft..she must be crazy as her son is the same age..but its so lovely of her to offer..so im off to meet Madeindevon hopefully this aft and have a lovely potter around John Lewis..

Have nice days all..

Hope we get news of largegandt today...nice day to have a baby!

Juicylucytoo · 18/05/2007 10:48

Mornin all. While you're all trying to get your babies out, anyone got a tip for keeping it in for a week. DH not due home until next Thursday, so Pod is under orders to stay put until then!

Tam - did you ever buy one of those baby bean bag thingies. Am trying to find them on the net and can only find a square one at Mothercare. Thought there were loads out there.

Pebblemum · 18/05/2007 10:51

Have a nice meet up you two

Not sure what im doing today, ds2 has got pre-school at 1pm and is then off to his 'girlfriends' for tea lol so will have a peaceful afternoon but apart from that i havent a clue what to do.

Part of me thinks i should stay in and relax, my mum moaned at me yesterday when she saw me, my ankles are swollen and legs are very blotchy and as bad circulation runs in my family as does Thrombosis she decided i should be sat on my bum with legs in the air not walking around or sat on the pc First time shes told me off since i lived at home lol. The thing is if i stay indoors i sit there trying to analyse every little twinge i get thinking that this may be it oh well i guess i will wait and see what dh suggests we do

cinnamontam · 18/05/2007 10:56

Pebble - what about going to the movies and seeing a couple back to back with your feet up on the seat in front of you? Not sure if they have them here but in Oz we have a thing called Gold Class Cinema. It's totally brilliant. Deep burgandy velvet recliner lounges in a cinema (bout 12 per room) and you order drinks and food to arrive at intervals through the movie. It's so deluxe and if you go during the day costs the same as a normal movie ticket. I think that would be an excellent way for you to rest up but take your mind off things

Juicy - do you mean the breastfeeding pillow? I ended up getting one from Blooming Marvellous. Can't remember a bean bag thingie

Juicylucytoo · 18/05/2007 11:00

Looked like this:

Bean Bag Thingie

But it might have been someone else talking about it and I've got my wires crossed - around the time you were thinking about the hammock type cot thing.

God with my descriptive skills I should be a writer

Juicylucytoo · 18/05/2007 11:01

Possibly FSF - God my memory is mush.

twelveyeargap · 18/05/2007 11:03

How right you are Cin.

MKG · 18/05/2007 11:06

Hey everyone. It's 6am here, but I feel like total crap today. I woke up with the worst pain in my bump, and now I feel like I have to throw up. Could this be it for me? I doubt it. I probably just feel like crap again. I have a Dr. appointment in 3 hours so maybe she'll tell me that my time is nearing. I doubt it.

I've been pregnant for a 100 years.

aprilmeadow · 18/05/2007 11:08

Morning Ladies

Juicy - i think it was Lupins that had a bean bag for Arlen.....

LW - what a bunch of tossers at your Uni!

twelveyeargap · 18/05/2007 11:10

Oh fingers crossed MKG! Would be horrible to feel miserable and it not be for something.

MKG · 18/05/2007 11:15

Thanks tyg,

you know what my fear is. My fear is that because I feel tight all the time and I have a few hours during the day where I get tons of tightnings and lower back pain, that when the real thing happens I'll blow it off, and end up giving birth in the bathtub with the dog as my midwife, and my 21 month-old ds as his assisstant. I can see the headline in the newspaper now, "Woman's Dog Delivers Baby, Infant son Cuts the Cord"

Juicylucytoo · 18/05/2007 11:15

Thank God for the search option!! It was Lilkel back in Feb and here it is:

Doomoo

Unfortunately £75 for a baby bean bag will have to work on DH for that one methinks.

Juicylucytoo · 18/05/2007 11:16

MKG - hope this is it. Sounds like you're having a really crap time.

cinnamontam · 18/05/2007 11:21

TYG - i meant to say earlier. You were pulling our legs about the rabies dance surely . My DH wants to know - doesn't believe me!!

cinnamontam · 18/05/2007 11:23

Thanks for looking that up Juicy

I was convinced pregnant brain had struck again and I was unaware (YET AGAIN) of entire conversations I had had with people

MKG - oh love i so hope this is it for you. These pains have to mean something for goodness sake

MKG · 18/05/2007 11:25

Thanks Juicy.

No it isn't my time, I bet you that I'll still be here in June.

I should but some scrubs for the dog and ds just in case though.

MKG · 18/05/2007 11:27

No Tam these pains mean nothing. I'm convinced of it. I'll go to the doctor and she'll tell me I'm no where near anything happening.

Pebblemum · 18/05/2007 11:31

MKG thats what ive been worrying about. Have been having pains etc for so long on and off that now i find im ignoring most of them thinking its yet another false alarm. I would hate to have everyone rushing around just because i think im in labour and then it turn out to be yet another false alarm (remember what happened to the boy who cried wolf!) Now though i keep thinking 'what if i ignore them, it turns out to be real and i leave it too late to let people know' Dont really fancy giving birth on my own or with ds's acting as midwives (pretty sure it would scar them for life lol)
