Really, i never knew that!!

I might give it another go then and see what happens, obviously i wont tell him why im doing it or he'll start panicking!!

mixedmama · 28/11/2007 15:37

Oh Skid you and your BJ comments have me rolling around the floor.... well if i could actually get to the floor and manage to get up.

fifisworld · 28/11/2007 15:38

She's a wealth of knowledge isnt she

Beanstermummy · 28/11/2007 15:40

fifi - Just to clarify, it is you receiving a BJ we're on about isn't it?! think some endorphins are released which help - not as effective though as the hormones in semen. For what it's worth - my older sister swears by the sex method - both hers were late and duely arrived the day after a good night!!

fifisworld · 28/11/2007 15:43

No, me giving a bj, well im presuming so anyway ive been told ive got to swallow

Dp flatly refuses sex

skidaddle · 28/11/2007 15:44

well now I am confused - how can a woman receive a BJ????

fifisworld · 28/11/2007 15:46

I think she means oral to have a orgasm to release the hormones???

mixedmama · 28/11/2007 15:47

I censor Skids comments when speaking to DH otherwise he will get all kinds of ideas.

RANT ALERT - just need to shout
So fed up.... DH has just text me to say he cant pick me up because he has to take his dad somewhere.... peed off... that he decided to tell me now. Plus for all he knows i may have got meat out for dinner and would be cooking only for him to tell me at 6 that he wont be home for dinner and he wasnt home last night for dinner and since his dad flies to bangladesh tomorrow he will eat there tomorrow too. ahhh. not the end of the world but am so fed up could just do with him coming home and keeping me company. plus have broken my once a week thing with DS and he stayed there friday night until sat evening as we were moving and my mum and dad were away, then DS threw crazy tantrumss all weekend until yesterday and alwayys is like this when he comes from there, he was there monday too and now has to go tomorrow cos FIL is going on holiday. Will then have to deal with tantrums for another two days... getting stressed as it seems that by moving back that way this is going to become the norm and I cannoot do that ... ahhhhh

Rant over sorry... back to BJs much more lighthearted.

mixedmama · 28/11/2007 15:48

hahaha... think that is a better idea, me receiving rather than giving... might mention the hormones angle

skidaddle · 28/11/2007 15:51

Oh MM you poor thing - think your DH needs to be a bit more supportive. Where is your ds now? Is he at your parents' house? Could he stay there and your DH pick him up on his way back so you don't have to deal with him all on your own? I know what you mean - I can cope with DH going out often as long as I know beforehand and can prepare myself. I can't BEAR these last minute changes to plan..

oh I see fifi/beanster - well I'm sure a bit of reciprocation would do no harm at all

fifisworld · 28/11/2007 15:55

Poor you MM -
I hate it when that happens, dp did it yesterday, i had the tea almost done, ds's bath was ready for him to go in, dp baths him as i cant bend over the bath for long.
Anyway i rang him and he was just leaving the pub
Someone from work was leaving and they went for a drink which i dont mind but it would be nice to be told.

mixedmama · 28/11/2007 15:55

Yeah he is with mum and dad today. My mum will pick me up from the station and stay with me and bath DS etc (since i cant lift him in and out now). But if DH picks him up it may not be until 9.00 pm and that is late for DS. Just annoying really but I know I am quite oversensitive these days.

Might need a little tidy up before DH might recipricate. Might need his help for that too as I cant see anything.

fifisworld · 28/11/2007 15:59

Ha ha MM - im presuming your referring to 'down there'
We had this exact conversation at the weekend, i asked dp if he would do it for me as i cant see a thing and he just looked disgusted and said to use the mirror
Its funny how we are all discussing/doing the same things atm

mixedmama · 28/11/2007 16:03

My Dh is rarely put off by anything, last time he did it for me. One thing I have found him squemish about is my breasts leaking, very funny as he is the kind of man who tries to convince me to have sex on period, two weeks after giving birth despite still a little bleeding... never put of sex by pregnancy or anything. Yet leaking breasts and he pulls such a disgusted face.... hilarious.

fifisworld · 28/11/2007 16:08

Lol, thats my dp as well, the leaking breasts not the rest of it.
I just think he's put off by me altogether atm

mixedmama · 28/11/2007 16:11

aahhhh a lady at work just bought me a little outfit for the baby... so sweet I dont even know her that well.

mixedmama · 28/11/2007 16:13

makes me wonder how he going to deal with BF as he wasnt mega supportive last time, not unsupportive but didnt really try and stop me giving up or anything and am determined to try and make a go of it this timme so the leaky boobs are here for a while yet.

Housemum · 28/11/2007 16:32

Jonathan Ross said on his show a little while back that over 50% of men admitted trying breast milk?? Obviously yours won't be one of them MM!

Hope that sex will kick-start labour a bit earlier - at the moment the one thing it does is guarantee a good night sleep for me!! (Perhaps one morning I'll wake up with a baby? )!!

Bouncingturtle · 28/11/2007 16:33

Well some interesting conversations going on here!
Would eating fresh pineapple take the taste away after giving said blowjob, can't say it is one of my favourite activities but if I get desperate!
Welcome back Lizzer! I had similar problems with BT when I moved house last year, bunch of tossers they are!
Beanster - when I was at my AN class a couple came on the 2nd day with their baby to talk about her experiences, she said similar about her labour, really thought she was going, rang her Dh, when he got home contractions stopped. She eventually gave birth 2 days later!

mellymooks · 28/11/2007 16:39

Oh you guys are so funny - Just been catching up on the afernoon's chat, Skid has had me laughing my head off!!
Just back from M/W and all is well, baby still 3/5 engaged, bp and wee all good, but she did say i looked a bit more "puffy".
So all still on for HB at the mo.

I've been the opposite today and not felt that hungry only had:

boiled egg & soilders
cuppa tea
choc cake
veggie burger in a bap
yoghurt
loads water

feeling very uninspired about what to have for tea - want something totally lovely and yummy that requires absolutely no effort on my part!!

Hello Lizzer - I think i must've joined thread while you've been without internet access.

fifisworld · 28/11/2007 16:40

Just a quick unrelated question....
Because we could have our babies any day now when are you planning on putting your xmas trees up???

Beanstermummy · 28/11/2007 16:44

LOL at the BJ / BF comments. It definitely is the receiving oral sex that does it - NOT GIVING!! Think my DH tried my milk - not directly from me though - that would be just far too wierd!! Did ask last night where my hot lovin to get Button out was and got a ' bugger off, it's half past mindnight ' response!! Funny breed aren't they??

Can't really complain though as DH was fab about just about everything last time - and he's being fab at the moment too. Although after a weekend long discussion over finances etc (ie. don't have any spare at all and so little extras let alone the skiing hols are NOT happening this year), just discovered on Ebay he's bidding for a pair of forks fro his Bike for £140! Does my head in! Talk about a goldfish. It's frustrating as all his biking budddies don't have kids so very much get to spend whatever on toys for themselves - although one is due to be a Dad next spring so I suspect things will chanage a tad then!

Take out Curry, pineapple for pud and then hot sex for me tonight then ladies! Will have to instruct our partners/DH's how to log on and post if anything happens

mellymooks · 28/11/2007 16:44

i'm gonna do it this wkd as long as not in labour!! I figure its Dec. so I can get away with it!

buzzybee · 28/11/2007 17:04

LO seems determined to wake me up early! 4.30am today - she's moving around so much impossible to get back to sleep. Plus having crazy nightmares where I'm somehow part of a violent incident - finding a friend beaten up or similar. Very unpleasant.

Local hospital birthing suites not that flash - basic rooms with standard issue bed, plastic chairs etc but do have nice large spa-type baths installed in the corner which is very appealing. Bit appalled to see tho that the "regular" labour rooms are little more than cubicles with curtains across them out onto the main corridor. I guess they do that for safety reasons...

Beanstermummy · 28/11/2007 17:13

Buzzy - I know how you feel. Last time in Lancaster with DD compeltely seperate maternity building not brand new but newish and the rooms they had weren't the biggest but at least modern, en-suite, and one had a big birthing pool. this time in Stirling, very old crappy hospital, no pool facilities, but rooms ok I think. Looking back to last time though, not really bothered when you're in the throes of labour if curtains match carpet if you know what I mean. Wouldn't like just a curtain though - noise transfer would be horrid and you can imagine trying to relax and person next door screaming away!!??

Warning on the bath though - don't let your DH/Partner fill it up - mine did and was far too hot - never seen a MW move so fast - think I was pickling Beanster

Button now has hiccupps which is amusing - seems far more chilled during the day then goes into breakdance routine in the evening/early hours - hopefully will get out of that timeset very very quickly
