Due April 2008 - new thread for October

[lemonaid]

Old thread here.

On the wine, I have started have a glass a week (as I really missed it!) but my DH tuts and ruins it for me. Grrrr.

I'm so jealous of the food
My appetite in the evenings still isn't great, problem is, I really can't face cooking anything and I think I've run the freezer down

May have to get dh to concoct one of his "creations" - he never quite knows what it's going to be til it's ready!

Don't worry, Ellie, it's just shock.

So relieved my inlaws are miles away- FIL and his Partner are lovely, and DH 'disposed' of MIL and by deafult though not intention BIL about 2 years ago after she called DS1 a freak thinking I was outside the room (cow)- she wanted ds3 aborted becuase of the high riska s well, said to skip amnio and terminate

Sadly am expecting ablow up soona s FIL took a phone call from BIL (first in 3 years, since FIL left) to say MIL and he had been tipped off to the pregnancy by someone who saw a post by DH on a website he uses.... not sure how that will play out yet. Especially if we have to tell her FIL's partner is to be a Godmother.

Whoops, delayed post!

Gosh Peachy, how awful
I can't imagine family being so unsupportive

Grr, your MIL sounds like an absolute cow. Delayed hugs for your traumas!

Hello to aninha

Peachy - Your MIL really does sound like the MIL from hell, you poor thing.

Scampmum - Im so glad Im not the only one with a nipple issue in the clod, by the ens of fireworks on sat night they were so painful

smcg - I have to stop DH pouring me another peachy - you poor thing sounds like you´re better off without them. toastaddict - my DH is like that & thankfully 99% of them taste gorgeous

Ah Dh has the sense tor elaise and FIL and my parents more than make up for it

She did get invited on a This Morning special as the worst MIL in the UK PMSL.... Dh so should not ahve nominated her pmsl (shame I got the bleedin blame though)

Peachy at This Morning!!
Hilarious!!!

Home time in a min so I shall love you and leave you all. Have good evenings. See you tomorrow

That is brilliant! well done DH.

The nipple thing was way earlier in my last pregnancy if I recall - before I even knew (five weeks). Maybe because our 'summer' holiday was in Scotland it got an earlier chance to show itself...

I DRINK WINE.

Well, I had a couple of glasses on friday after the kiddies halloween party. The only reason I hadnt until then was because I couldnt have managed it, even the thought of it made me feel sick.

With DS someone told me whisky made you go into labour so xmas day, at 39 wks I drank nearly a whole bottle of whisky in the desire to go into labour so as not to have to have another c-section, which was booked for the 29th. It didn't work.

I totally abstained from alcohol with DD yet drank a little every few weeks with DS and it was DD that had the problems!
I also ate peanuts with both of them, but havent done with this one yet.

Soph, I will have to get your dh to talk to my dh! I was only having a small glass not my usual bucketfull, so there is no harm in that, surely!

Peachy, your mil sounds like a nightmare.

My in-laws are nice but they are also miles away (often a bonus).

my out-laws live about 300 miles away which is fine for me. they are not really my sort of people.

like the name change VictorianSqualor

My MIL lives about 10 miles away and is a godsend as my parents are on the other side of the world! (she is wonderful with dd and a very laid-back, easy to get along with sort of lady).

LOL @ the This Morning thing Peachy - was both ed AND ing when I read that!

Finally!
some recongnition.

Well while we're all in confessional mood - I'm drinking wine too! Only a small glass on a Friday or Saturday night, I really don't think it does any harm and it makes me feel better (helps with these blasted headaches too) so I positively refuse to feel guilty. I was addicted to peanut butter and dry roast peanuts with dd but haevn't felt like them this time, so I think the wine is my only vice at the moment. I sooo miss blue cheese though - I'm already fantasising about the pate and blue cheese I'm going to have the second I'm out of hospital.

I've ahd a glas or two, and I had a small glass of cider shandy alst week- when I didnt know I was pg though I was camping (missed AF day after we returned) and drank loads!. Dh loves me to have a little- ie he gets to finish the bottle- nos elf interest there then LOL!

Hi all,

Just catching up again as usual. I'm 17 + 3 now and still haven't felt any movements. Should I be worried? I was at the Doctors at 16+3 and she heard the heartbeat and told me I would feel something closer to week 20 but so many of you have had movement already, it's a little worrying...

On the subject of alcohol, I have a friend who works in the champagne business and he invited a bunch of us to a champagne tasting on Friday (of all things!). I went along and even though I think it's probably ok to have a glass once in a while I just couldn't bring myself to drink more than a quarter of a glass. So then I thought I'd go wild on the canapés but of course they all had paté or soft cheese in them... so frustrating!!! The indian diner afterwards did make up for it a bit though

Hurray it's not just me!
I have been eating peanuts too. But not cheese, mainly cos no one else likes runny cheese and so there's no point in buying it for the amount I could have.

My pie was SO SO yummy, by the way.

Have a really busy day today and makes me feel a little bit sad - plus am trying to have a no-chocolate day after weighing myself yesterday and nearly collapsing in shock (and because legs are obviously finding it hard to cope with the extra weight).

Morning all. I´m also eating peanuts. I can´t stand blue cheese anyway so that´s not a problem & I very rarely eat pate. Will get weighed next week at midwife´s - not really looking forward to that, although I lost weight last time

I' allergic to dairy so cheese something ahve miosed for years rather than cant have now- still annoying though LOL, loved brie etc before this developed. never mind, hey?

Am 20 weeks today on the revised dates. HALF WAY!

mollyfloss - is this your first? If it is then I don´t think there´s anything to worry about & everyone´s different anyway and you´ve also heard the heartbeat so that´s a good thing Maybe your beanie is going to sleep lots for you when it arrives
