I'm thinking I should get measured again, haven't put on as much weight this time. But you can always get measured and buy one when your milk settles in rather than guessing now.

VictorianSqualor · 31/03/2008 21:19

I love hot milk undies, best nursig bras EVER!
jennie, dp is watching road wars (its the police force he is hoping to join) so I have to watch it on CH4+1 but really want to see it, am hoping its as good as girl,interrupted!

Aussiediva, I'm taking a look at your chart now.

bunnyrabbit · 31/03/2008 21:22

I'm a 30HH normally.. last time I had comedy porn breasts and am already into a 34L, and that's before milk comes in!!! Yes my ribcage did shrink back but not immediately.

Jenjen, sorry to hear your feeling so low. Can't you find a favourite film to cheer you up?

Yo PFJ. Go for it!!

I'm afraid I'm old enough to remember the Herbs and Crystal Tipps and Alistair.

Oh and I just had a small show... yeah!!

BR
PS.Can some one pleae mail me PAL's baby's name?? tania_bunny@hotmail@com

EllieG · 31/03/2008 21:26

Good grief you lot can talk! I was only away for a day and there's a hundred messages on a new thread!

Anyway.

BEST OF LUCK sagitta and PFJ. [waves pom poms and does little baby producing dance]

And obviously to anyone I have missed who have be sprog-popping in the near future, have only skimmed the thread, will go through properly in a mo.

Jennie - HUGE hugs to you. I am a complete loon a lot of the time throughout this pg, you are by no means the only one. I am on AD's and have been for yonks, tried coming off the as PG but turned into a she-wolf and reluctantly agreed with DP and doc that was not a good idea yet. Also had lots of therapy which has now stopped, but was immensely helpful. Don't worry about mood swings too much - I know is easy to say, but your body is going through MASSIVE changes and hormones all over the shop and it isn't easy. I am snappy and teary and growly more often than I care to think about, and my DP is great at not biting back. Perhaps have a little chat with your after you've seen psych - help you reflect some of your worries to him in a positive way? Or maybe ask him to come to a session with you?

Anyway - try not to fret. You are NOT turning into your mother. My Dad is bi-polar and the first time I had a depressive episode one of the things that scared me most was that I might be like him. I ain't. Am mad in my own special way but nothing like him. And I got help and continue to and am much more able to cope for facing it all square on.

LOTS of hugs to you.

Can someone email me PAL's name please?

elliepinelatyahoo.co.uk (obviously an @ not 'at')

EllieG · 31/03/2008 21:28

Oh and I got my bras from figleaves today and they fit like a dream and are pretty!

Didn't see the underwired ones though...must investigate....

bunnyrabbit · 31/03/2008 21:29

Sorry that should be [email protected]

jenniejennie · 31/03/2008 21:31

Poppy Shakespeare is making me feel quite normal ha! I dont think I have the concentration levels to watch it or anything else at the moment.

AussieDivaOnABreak · 31/03/2008 21:36

Groovy VS, I'll wait to hear from you .
Go BR, a small show is better than no show! I had none of the signs last time, no waters breaking, no show, nada. I want the works this time!

EllieG · 31/03/2008 21:37

Oh poo I wanted to watch that poppy programme but DP is on PS3.

chipmonkey · 31/03/2008 21:46

Sorry, haven't read but posting to stop me posting on the old one!

PortAndLemon · 31/03/2008 21:47

Ellie -- if you look at my Facebook profile and photos you can see everything.

AussieDivaOnABreak · 31/03/2008 21:47

My DH is upstairs in the study. As usual. Until 1:30am. After which time I've gone to bed on my own again. Grrrr. Sorry ladies but is it too much to ask him to leave his "den" for five minutes???? Time to slink into the bath then watch old Life on Mars on my Ipod in bed me thinks.

EllieG · 31/03/2008 21:50

Ta PAL - trouble is I forget people's RL names! I will try and find you...

ThePFJ · 31/03/2008 21:54

Jennie - just wanted to say that people who are upset/stressed/argumentative tend to fall back on an excuse like 'she's just pregnant and emotional' rather than 'bother' with actually getting down to the real issue in hand. It saves them having to make the effort to think up reasons for fighting their corner iyswim. That way they can just make you feel bad by writing the argument off rather than 'talk'.

This of course completely sucks arse.
You have my sympathy, I have felt exactly the way you have at quite a few times in my pregnancy and it makes me feel like bashing my head against a wall!!!

If its any help half the time they don't even realise how hurtful they are being.

BIG HUGS FOR YOU FROM ME!

VictorianSqualor · 31/03/2008 21:55

Grrr, trust AussieDiva to be born in the southern latitude

Quite interesting so far btw AD.

Your chart is pretty similar to mine, both moon in pisces. (Basically means inner emotions are more piscean traits than capricorn).

I'll go and finish your other bits now and have a basic outline typed up for you in the morning.

I forgot how much I missed this astrology lark, every so often I get my books out and get lost in them, so whilst I'm in the mood if anyone else wants a basic birth chart I need your birth date/time and place, my email is down there VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV somewhere

AussieDivaOnABreak · 31/03/2008 22:03

Wow (yes, sorry about the whole southern hemisphere thing)...having a Pisces moon would actually make a lot of sense to me. I'll really look forward to the rest. Thanks VS

Mum2b2BabyRoo · 31/03/2008 22:08

VS - I would love for you to do mine please! However, I am also Southern Hemisphere! Will email you now.

jenniejennie · 31/03/2008 22:10

I honestly have no idea what I have done which is that bad half the time, in fact most of the time I dont think I have done anything wrong at all. But as DH keeps on pointing out they cant all be wrong.....

Last night I was so rude and unreasonable to have a moody look on my face because I had a migraine [sarcasm] how dare I [more sarcasm] grrrr. Must apologise to DH for my bad attitude......

Mum2b2BabyRoo · 31/03/2008 22:17

Jennie - keep in mind that because of how you are feeling you might be reading more into something than you would normally. My DH has pointed this out to me when I have been feeling particulary emotional.

And you know what - the friends that are sticking by you right now as you go through this emotional time are the true friends. Concentrate on that.

As for your DH, me thinks he needs to be a little more sensitive to your feelings!

Mollyfloss · 31/03/2008 22:28

I was wondering about the star sign thing too. I'm a Gemini and the baby will most likely be aries unless she's quite late. My Mum is Aries and we clashed a lot when I was younger, despite me being the only girl with three brothers. I wonder if it the same kind of relationship with a Gemini mother and aries child. I'd love a birth chart VS if you have time or just the basic outlines, anything really. I was born in Dublin at 11.20 on 17/06/75.

jenniejennie · 31/03/2008 22:30

DH needs sensitivity lessons or a slap!

I know I dont have any patience any more and that I say exactly what is in my head rather than biting my tongue but it doesnt mean I have changed, I dont think any differently to how I did before. I do read to much into things sometimes but when I had a text from best friend since we wer 6 which said "I know you are pregnant but you have totally changed. You are really wierd and judgemental now" well.... cant misunderstand that can you. The tears just rolled down my face. So when DH says I am different it hurts a lot.

Mollyfloss · 31/03/2008 22:30

Jennie: Sorry you are feeling like this. I agree with all the others advice. You have done the hardest thing by admitting to yourself how you feel and getting help is the next big step. I'm sure it will all work out for you because you want it to and you are trying your best to deal with this.

I've got one nursing bar for the moment until I'm sure I've got the right size. They told me when I was measured that the ribcage will shrink fairly quickly (but the boobs will be huge!) so I was told I should be a 34E. I was a 32B before pg. It's the hips apparently that don't spring back for quite a while
Hot Milk lingerie looks really nice. If I order over the internet can I trust that the sizes are pretty standard?

EllieG · 31/03/2008 22:33

Jennie - grrrr on your behalf. I frequently have to restrain myself from inflicting harm on my nearest and dearest at the moment, and occasionally, like mum2be says, have to remind myself that I may be being a teeeeeensy bit more irrational than usual. That said, you are PG so fully allowed to be. And I will testify to that in court for you if necessary.

I found PAL! Fab name, beautiful pics x

Mollyfloss · 31/03/2008 22:34

Jennie: I can't believe your friend sent you that message. I mean even if you have changed that much she shouldhave sat down and TALKED to you not sent you a text message. I never understand people who try to deal with serious issues by text messages anyway. Show they have no idea how to communicate.

EllieG · 31/03/2008 22:35

X-post jennie - that friend is mean and horrid and spiteful and nasty and jealous and doesn't like the fact that your life is changing. What an awful, awful thing to say. You are not those things. She is not a good friend.
