I'm getting really itchy nipples I think it's because I'm leaking a little bit and they are getting a bit.. well...crusty at times

DH has said he has great sympathy with your DH, Bubbaz as I think that was about his luck this time, too!

Pinkali37 · 14/07/2008 14:15

I keep trying to tell my DH quite how lucky he is!!! He must have had it at least 4 times in Majorca and generally it is once a week. He thinks that is badly done too but I just tell him he is lucky he is getting it at all!!

Apparently when overdue it is best to swallow it ifykwim??? Apparently doing it this way is more likely to induce labour as it is the same thing in it that they use in the drug. If you are going to 'do it' so to speak, it needs to be an awful lot to have any effect

MerryMarigold · 14/07/2008 14:41

oh my, pinkali, i am ! i haven't "swallowed" since i was a teen trying to impress...I'd rather be induced! i suppose it's rather like warm oysters, but i could only eat them once after that thought...

No action for dh either, not since we conceived on valentine's day! (it really was ok with ds, not sure what's going on this time...never really got back into it I reckon). to be fair, i did offer on saturday night to go up for an 'early' night. but he chose to watch the boxing, so...if that's what tickles him that's fine by me. i was only offering for his sake.

Pinkali37 · 14/07/2008 14:54

P.s. my 'do it' I meant the normal method not the swallowing.. MM i know, i shock myself at times!! All i can say is YUK to oysters....

Dozymare · 14/07/2008 15:02

Pinkali am at your comment about swallowing!!!!!!!!!!!! Do people still do that?!! Merry I am afraid I am with you as haven't done swallow for so long, in fact was probably trying to impress as well as remember going "mmmmm" afterwards!!!!!!!!!!!!

Off to hide my head in shame after admitting to that one!!!!

DM x

bubbaz · 14/07/2008 15:05

what interesting conversation for a monday afternoon!!
made me have a wee giggle!!!

bubbaz · 14/07/2008 15:11

Hana me too am off to the docs to see if I can get something other than Gaviscon for my now continuous heartburn, I think I did last time all this talk of swallowing will not help with the Gaviscon swigging!

bubbaz · 14/07/2008 15:12

Just a thought if the lady that that was disturbed by our 'uterus' thread caould read this she would be shock] he he

Pinkali37 · 14/07/2008 15:25

Oh yes forgot about 'that lady'....

Oh blimey i've started it now. Hey you never know it could be good for heartburn? Ok i'll stop

I have to admit that every now and then I DO .... you know... however now pregnant the fun does goes as I would have to say "could you come up this end as I can't move that easily".. omg far TMI... sorry ladies..

Dozymare · 14/07/2008 15:26

yes but still on the subject of "swallowing" I cannot even go near a bottle of gaviscon now after Lacksadaisy comment about it being like MINTY SPERM!!!!!!!!!!!

Yuck,,,,,,,,,

MerryMarigold · 14/07/2008 15:27

dozy at the "mmmmmmmmmmm". Think I will be chuckling for rest of the day over that one!

Pinkali, what have you started here?!

Sorry for those with heartburn . I haven't really had it much, but it's not nice when I have. Personally, I quite like Gaviscon and think it is nothing like the flavour, texture or temperature of the above discussed ummmm...'stuff'.

babylove123 · 14/07/2008 15:36

Hi,

The whole boobs thing is really annoying to me! If i use the measuring technique in all the catalogues etc i am a 56G! What?!

I wear a 42DD normally now and it goes round so thats all im bothered about, lol.

Oh and as for the private time, my libido has always been pretty low (have a rather hectic life) and its the last thing on my mind. However we made the choice to abstain from anything up until 12 weeks for fear or miscarriage and im now 21 weeks and i think there have been 3 "occasions"..........you do the maths! Poor dp, lol.

PInkyminkyohnooo · 14/07/2008 15:41

pinkali you are a shocker!

I know eaxctly what yu mean,DM about the Gaviscon, but it makes me sick anyway.

I just find sex such a faff when I'm pregant.I have to really really be in the mood. Poor DH.

ChocOrange05 · 14/07/2008 15:46

Babylove well done for trying to steer the conversation back to boobs - that one seems very tame now!

No comment, for fear of meeting any of you and looking at me in a completely different light!

As for the boob thing - still a 34C and luckily the soreness at the beginning seems to have gone but still suffer from permanently erect nipples!

PInkyminkyohnooo · 14/07/2008 15:53

choco but now you are leaving us guessing, which could be worse!!

On a completely different topic, I've just got off a marathon phonecall from my sister (she lives in OZ) and she is pettiioning me relentlessly for the baby to be named after her!

tegan · 14/07/2008 15:55

Well we are back from our scan and we are having a BOY. After 2 girls.

chocolategal · 14/07/2008 15:57

aww, congratulations tegan

PInkyminkyohnooo · 14/07/2008 16:10

lovely news, Tegan!! Clothes shopping for you, too, methinks!

LackaDAISYcal · 14/07/2008 16:43

lol, what have I started with the gviscon comments? . I think it was April 07 AN who had a minty sperm thread title and boy did they get some stick over it! Doesn't happen too often now though as a lot of posters hide the AN threads.

We had a lot of stick for some of our titles when I was pregnant with DD...lol have people nothing better to get worked up about!

Have sold some more of DDs old nappies, and am itching to buy more . But common sense tells me that with two in nappies, I'm going to be washing every day so I should have enough.

Some nappy bargains here though

bubbaz · 14/07/2008 16:46

Congrulations Tegan great news. DH loves my bigger boobs but is not even allowed to touch them - Poor love!

bubbaz · 14/07/2008 16:47

Or even Congratulations
