I love mature cheddar and tomato sandwiches... mmmm

pinkyminky · 09/04/2008 15:23

Exactly. How could we possibly go without unpasteurised cheese? Finding something to eat is hard enough without having to forgo farmhouse cheese!
Sorry will stop mentioning cheese now.

Emmanj · 09/04/2008 15:23

oh ok, sorry pinkyminky!

pinkyminky · 09/04/2008 15:30

No need to apologise, Emmanj. I'm just waffling because I have spent too much time being sick today to do anything else.

serendippity · 09/04/2008 15:32

i miss brie!!!!
Love, love love brie and bacon sandwhiches, really crispy bacon, really fresh bread and melty brie mmmm.
Can't stand the smell of cheese shops tho!

emmanj- yeah, get with the programme! Also loving anything crispy btw, i sent dp out to get walkers ready salted yesterday and he came back with "healthier" Go Ahead crisps. But i didn't bloody want healthy crisps! Hmmph.

misdee · 09/04/2008 15:32

just popping in, trying not to get tooinvoloved atm, sorry. i just cant relax properly with any pregnancy until after the 12 week scan, it just doesnt seem real yet.

i am sorry to read we have had a few more losses, lvoe and hugs to all xxx.

I am about 9 weeks i think, maybe only 8 weeks. waiting for a scan date still.

i have been throwing up almost constantly for the last few days. i was meant to go to the GP today to see about some anti-enamtic (sp?) but felt too rough and went back to bed for 2 hours. i have managed some soup and toast for lunch, and kept it down, so thats at least something. everything yesterday came back up i do have a tenadancy to suffer from hyperemesis gravidium, so know i do need to be careful and keep my fluids up. i tried some ginger beer earlier in the week, small sips and it did help a bit. i always try and keep a bottle of water in my bag and some strong mints as well, for those times when i throw up outside the home and need to freshen up a bit. have been drinking some coca-cola as well, full sugar stuff, in an attempt to keep fluids up. have gone off tea, well not completely, i still like it, but it sends my stomache churning and its horrible.

pinkyminky · 09/04/2008 15:48

Hi misdee sorry you didn't get to the doctors, but glad you got some rest. I spent many weeks on a drip with my last two pregnancies, but seem to have escaped HG this time, just spending the odd day (like today) being sick. Hope you will be lucky too, and start to feel better.
If you are actually managing to keep anything at all down, that has to be good news.

lackaDAISYcal · 09/04/2008 16:11

hi misdee, good to hear from you, but sorry to hear about the sickness. I've escaped very lightly this time as well

mad4, are you going to see the doc as well? it sounds like you might need some anti-emetics as well.

misdee · 09/04/2008 16:21

i'm craving chips today. proper greasey ones from the chippy. the thought of them doesnt make queasey like everything else does, so may send dh down the chippy soon and see if i can keep them down.

peanut butter AND marmite? really? bleugh.

now peanut butter on thick white toast would go down a treat right now.

i'm going for 'if the thought of it doesnt make me sick then try it' method this time.

have gone off meat again.

AutumnLady · 09/04/2008 16:31

Hi all, just logged on and have seen the cheese conversation. mmmmm, cheese. I miss Brie and Goats cheese but am glad that cheddar is still ok as being a veggie I would have very little else to eat

I have a thing for salt & vinegar crisps too! How weird is that?

Flat coke - it's brilliant. I was advised to have it years ago when I was a kid on holiday. we went abroad to Portugal, which was a big thing back then!, and I got a bad stomach bug and my parents had no idea what to do for the best but another guest who was a dr said it's the best thing and it did the trick no end! It's also great for hangovers - not that I have those now obvioulsly!

AutumnLady · 09/04/2008 16:34

missdee - I have grown up on Marmite and Peanut Butter and have eaten them together before and it's great. Now I want to go home and make toast......

Pinkali37 · 09/04/2008 16:34

Thats it - flat coke and warm lemonade thats the right way round. Sorry that's been annoying me!

I actually sent DH out for a McDonalds the other day. Usually it would bbe akin to walking over hot coals for me to eat that. Has a fish thing though. Only started eating meat two years ago and still can't stand the thought of a real burger.
Love Marmite. Bit hit and miss with peanut butter.

Sounds fair to me!I miss the blue cheese more than the burger, though. Sorry onto cheese again.

pinkyminky · 09/04/2008 17:05

Never had a takeaway burger (other than veggie)

bubbaz · 09/04/2008 17:22

mmmmmm cheese. I am having cheese on everything at the moment. Cheesy mash and chips with cheese and gravy being the fave. I a going to be like a house

lackaDAISYcal · 09/04/2008 17:36

pinky, I think you're getting a little obsessed with cheese

I've started cooking tea and the very smell is making me want to gag. but, the littlies need feeding so what can I do.

i got like this at teatime last time too, and it got to the point that I couldn't eat a meal I'd made myself. My Christmas dinner comprised one roast potato and 2 parsnips as it was all I could face....then I polished off half a homemade fruit pavlova though . i went off meat altogether and couldn't look at it until after about 23 weeks. galaxy though, no problems there. DD unsurrprisingly would crawl over hot coals for chocolate!

mummyhill · 09/04/2008 17:43

DM i have one of each to run round after. With school runs and nursery runs being done on foot at the momment I am shattered.

Lackadaisycal - Glad I am not the only one here with a cpn. I have psych app on Friday to see how I am coping with out venlafaxine (not to good) and discuss options. If they try putting my on fluroxetine I will just walk out as I have a bad reaction to that one. Been really weepy and snappy but not sure if normal for hormone levels or not coping iyswim.

Creena - I have just been signed off for 2 weeks due to the sickness. GP has also written me a prescription for some anti sickness drugs. I am a bit nervous about taking them them though.

I have gone off meat and am trying to eat as much fruit, veg and increase calcium but need to be able to keep the food in there long enough. Baby will get what it needs regardless, just worried about keeping myself fit and healthy with chasing round after the other 2.

juanitad · 09/04/2008 17:45

Just wanted to join in the cheese chat. Felt a bit rubbish at work all day today, a bit woozy at times, hungry all the time, so when I got home I knew that the perfec thing to revive me would be a big glass of milk and some cheese and biscuits!! It worked a treat, I feel so much better now. I looooooooooooooooove cheese, more now than ever before! It's brill.

By the way, loving the sound of a Leeds/Yorkshire get-together at some point....maybe we could visit a cheese factory somewhere and get a few free samples!!

serendippity · 09/04/2008 17:50

#wails# I still miss brie and bacon sandwhiches!!!!
Just found this recipe: www.waitrose.com/recipe/Tartiflette.aspx
How yummy does that sound?
Sympathys to all with horrid sickness today, i still swear by lemongrass and ginger cordial!

lackaDAISYcal · 09/04/2008 17:51

mummyhill; i was taking sertraline, which is one of the better ones for breastfeeding. I'll probably go back on it in the third trimester, but I'm trying to cope without it. It's difficult to know what is PND/mental heath issue and what is just a normal pregnancy hormonal response though.

We'll all be having nightmares after all the cheese!

I've made mexican chicken so I can have some grated cheese on top.
