Hi everyone. Just left DD at school and now sitting at a cafe by the sea. I had a pain au chocolat which helped with the nausea. I might bring a towel tomorrow and just lie on the beach for the three hours that DD will be in school.

Meanwhile, smokers are really getting on my nerve. I was one, so I sympathize, but not now, when the smell makes me gag. Roll on 1 November, when smoking will be forbidden at least in indoor places.

morning all. hope everyone is well and has a relaxing day.
I'm a lot better having dropped dd1 and 2 at nursery. just having a tough time doing work.

chubby, am very sorry for your news. take care of yourself and all best wishes.

seems quiet on this thread today. hope you're all resting.
I'm taking a break from work and have just had a half hour lie down. Was feeling very dizzy and seeing bright lights/stars - is this a migraine? I wasn't sure if I'd been staring at my computer screen too long which is why i took a break.

still having a problem deciding what to eat. have just had a fish pie then a mini milk ice lolly (hope dd2 doesn't find out I ate the last vanilla one). now I feel like chinese something or other. think i'm craving msg.

see you later. xx

Cote - very jealous, wish I was at a cafe by the sea! Where do you live exactly? My brother lives up in the Alps Maritime, about 30 mins from Antibes. Know what you mean about the smoking, I smoked like a trooper until I was pregnant with DD1, but even as a smoker I found indoor places so much more pleasant without the ciggies

Momino Sorry about the dizziness. Could be a retinal migraine, I beleive they cause the dots/stars in front of your eyes, you can even have them without an actual headache weirdly. Taking a break from the computer is a good idea though, sure that wouldn't help, and a warm flannel accross your eyes (my friend who has retinal migraines swears by that)

Hello ladies. Well, I'm just home having had my scan then a lovely tea and muffin with my SIL followed by a huge lunch with my DH! So my nausea has gone for now (drowned by the mountains of food I have consumed!)
Scan was great, bean is 8+5, is 19mm long and was wriggling about all over with a lovely strong heartbeat. The doctor said it was a 'perfect specimen'!!!!!!!!!!! Am thrilled.
I now have an actual due date of 16 May so will attempt to modify list later.
Odd fact: all 3 of my children have been due on a Saturday! (does this mean that Saturday night is conception night in my house?)
However, am now booked in for CVS on 30 Oct (3 weeks) and worrying about that now. Have to do it though so will try not to think about it for the next 2.5 wks.
Ooooh, just checked the list of due dates - 16th May seems a very common date! (I'll be the 5th one due that day) - must have been rubbish on the telly that night!
Hope everyone else is Ok.
Cote am with you re: smokers. I too used to smoke but now if I so much as have to stand next to someone who recently smoked a cigarette (eg, in a shop) I feel faint and nauseous at the smell. Was walking behind someone who was smoking the other day in the street and had to cross the road as I thought I was going to puke. It's gross!

Oooh just did the list.
Me and my 'perfect specimen' are off to do some work now.

frazzle - That is great news!

Thanks Cote am still smiling

sigh. wish I were in Monaco right now.

stars have gone now, was very weird but must have been retinalwhatever migraine, MrsEvs.

has now left my head a little aching and I don't feel like working. But have so much to do I can't (well, shouldn't) spare a moment even though I keep scanning mumsnet from time to time. it gives me a nice break.

oh, but I do wish I were at a seaside cafe. instead, i'm sat here in an unheated (trying to save £)old house with my coat on, reading/answering boring work email. trying desperately to think of something to eat but failing.

Lovely news frazzle - how wonderful. Can't wait for my scan on Tuesday!

Cote my brother is in Cipieres which is a teeeeeny village up in the mountains - he's a paraglider for a living! Been out to visit quite a bit a tootled out to Monaco quite a few times - it's gorgeous, lucky you! Some of the boats there take your breath away!

Oh I wish I was in France right now!

I drove to an out of town M & S on a maternity clothes hunt. The shop started selling maternity clothes after my last pregnancy so I had high hopes of finding something new to wear. Grr. I searched the shop only to be told they stopped selling maternity clothes due to lack of interest.

I ended up back in my own town where we have a Blooming Marvellous. I managed to buy a pair of maternity jeans but bought some bigger non-maternity tops from Monsoon instead of maternity tops. I also bought some maternity bras from Bravissimo, as underwired bras are so uncomfortable at the moment. Leaving aside the M & S trip, rather a productive day. Off to Cornwall tomorrow, so I'm hoping the weather stays sunny and warm.

Oh please stop talking about lovely Monaco! Am just so jealous. I want a chocolate croissant in a lovely seaside cafe too.
Am in cold, wet, gloomy Scotland and it's JUST NOT FAIR!
My DH keeps trying to pursuade me to move abroad and on days like this I really think we should.........
And I'm hardly getting any work done either - think will just give up, brain is not working.
Thanks mrsevs - good luck for Tuesday!

momimo - let's go get on a plane to Monaco and meet up with cote in that cafe! Am sure that would make us feel better! [closes eyes and dreams of sunshine whilst listening to rain drumming on the windows outside....]

and llareggub you can come too, if you like?

I'm in too - someone order me a hot chocolate (might take me a little while longer to get there than you gals though )

i'm with you all to go meet Cote. i like the sound of pain au chocolat.

instead, i'm scoffing half a tin of baked beans (boring low sugar/salt type) on buttered toast. I really wanted spaghetti hoops but couldn't be bothered to leave the house to buy a tin. so beans it is.

got my scan appt for 23/10 and can't wait.
Frazzled, how excited you must have been.

Hello ladies

Please may I join?
Due 25 May for now and this is my second (DS is 1.5), and feeling sick as a dog this time. Just had to park DS in front of ITNG for half an hour so I could sleep on the sofa, till he started slapping my face and climbed on the coffee table! this could be a very long pregnancy..

Frazzled - congrats on your wee bean! I got my early scan today also and am 8+2, so my due date now is 19 May. I'll update the list.

Chubby - big hug!

Oh I just love the rain!! Though I too would prefer to see it somewhere more exotic. We had talked about moving abroad, but to do what??? And the grass isn't always greener... in some places it's burnt!!!

DH and I had a chat last night... it started about me mentioning the size of my boobs. I TRIED to explain to him that they are heavy and swollen due to my changing hormones. His attitude???? 'Its fluid retention and you're full of it - go and sort it out. You're a middle aged woman who's let herself go' etc etc. Now before you all get annoyed for me (thanks) I know part of what he said was true - when it comes to exercise I AM LAZY. I know I should be out there doing something, but I've been told I shouldn't swim (prolapsed discs in neck), and I can't now take up jogging, yoga wouldn't be 'exercisey' enough - any ideas??? But big pregnancy boobs aren't all fluid surely?

I am medically retired and receive a pension, however I am the director of a new company (along with my DH who helps out when he can - he's full time employed too). All along I had promised myself to make my retirement work for me, but to date I hardly have a minute to myself. I need to re-think my work hours etc in order to get time for me. But that involves getting in workers - any advice from those of you who have your own businesses?

Anyway - off to eat a handful of brazil nuts and a lump of cheese!!!
