We are the unluckiest bunch of pregnant women...........

blooming and glowing does not exsist (is the conclusion i have reached)

oddeyes- (hugs) it's always a relief to find out whats wrong and that you are not turning into a mad woman xx

i only have plain hobnobs and haribo left what would you like?

men are rubbish at stuff like that lol

frekkles · 02/12/2008 12:14

maybe the myth of the blooming second trimester is because you feel slightly less dodgy than in the first. I just want to sleep at the moment, tis all I want to do.

Hello everyone, thanks for all good wishes. I'm hanging on in there. Watched eternal sunshine of the spotless mind last night and it made me cry lots. If anyone's ever seen it, then I am clementine and my ex is joel. I think I'd like to have my mind erased at the moment.

But did manage a nice moment yesterday morning when I was having a salt bath to try and combat the killer fecking thrush I've got ( so no sex grrrr), when I decided to sing some of my favourite songs to see if bambino could hear and it started moving so I started talking to it and ended up making it lots of promises about a nice sunny summer of beaches and meadows.

Told some people at the weekend and it was really nice to get a positive reaction. And new bloke has been able to tell his pals which has made him happy. I just feel really sad though, I'm trying to feel happy, but when I close my eyes I just see the pain on my ex's face and it hurts so much.

Need to tell my flatmates this week. scared again.

BabyBolat · 02/12/2008 12:24

Hey frekkles, just think of it as a series of hurdles that get progressively smaller and then once you have done them you are on the home straight and can look forward to even more sunny summers and beaches! YOu have done the biggest one now, just a couple more to go and then you are there!!!

Oddeye, yay for the diagnosis, hopefully you will start to feel better soon!

SantasNuttySTaff · 02/12/2008 12:28

Frekkles -ditto good advice from bb :-)

SantasNuttySTaff · 02/12/2008 13:24

girlies if you want to ahh or lol got to this site :-) icanhascheezburger.com/

full of cute n furries with funny/ cute captions :-)

BabyBolat · 02/12/2008 14:19

I am so hungry I could eat a horse - just had lunch and I am still starving - how is that possible!!!!

SpringySunshine · 02/12/2008 14:22

So, the results of my scientific study are that technology is a good thing for making sure that you aren't going to explode in a big mess of sexually-charged hormones, but still doesn't quite live up to a good session with a good man. Nobody ever tell him I said that though, okay? & I am feeling a bit more relaxed now

OddEyes, it's good to know that you've got a diagnosis now. Not perhaps what you'd have hoped for, exactly, but at least there's light at the end of the tunnel now & a very distinct reason as to why you've been feeling so rough. I hope you feel much better soon xx

frekkles, BabyBolat is right. Things will start improving from here. There are still a couple of rubbish things to get through, but it's all going to be worth it. Think about your baby when things are tough, not anybody else.

SpringySunshine · 02/12/2008 14:24

BB, I don't know, but I'm the same. Can't stop stuffing my face! Apparently our babies are busy doubling in weight during these few weeks, so that must be it.

Also, should someone go & check on Boffin?

SantasNuttySTaff · 02/12/2008 14:26

springy - scientific study lol

SantasNuttySTaff · 02/12/2008 14:30
SpringySunshine · 02/12/2008 14:34

It was very scientific! I've just done womankind a great service with my very important research

BabyBolat · 02/12/2008 14:46

If I was Boffin I would stay in that bath (would do ANYTHING to be in the bath relaxing now rather than at work doing projection plans for fund management - who said PR was a glamorous industry!!!) If Boffin has any sense she is ignoring us and topping up that bath with some more hot water!

Springy - was DP aware of your scientific study? I think you should inform him of your thoughts omitting a few of the comments!

I genuinely don't know what to do about the eating thing - I don't seem to ever get full! my baby is going to be the size of a small toddler if I keep this up!!!

SpringySunshine · 02/12/2008 14:51

DP's currently out, but I shall notify him later. Not quite sure how I'm going to broach the topic though, as I find myself becoming a bit nervous as it gets closer to seeing him. I'm a little embarrassed, I think I may just brandish it at him & not bother saying anything.

I don't believe you that PR isn't glamorous. I'm picturing you as Samantha from Sex and the City now

& gosh, imagine giving birth to a toddler

SantasNuttySTaff · 02/12/2008 14:51

ah eat and be merry - we wouldnt want the food if baby/we didnt need it

SantasNuttySTaff · 02/12/2008 14:53

just leave your scientific apperatus in a place where it can be stumbled upon by dp

SantasNuttySTaff · 02/12/2008 14:57

and if he has a face like thunder and you cant bear it just say well nice postman delivered it here by mistake and i thought why look a gift horse in the mouth, its been a dry period in the nookie department after all :-) or something to that effect :-)

SpringySunshine · 02/12/2008 14:59

That's what I'm thinking... But I just know that it's going to end up in me being very red-faced. I don't think he'll be angry or anything like that, but he'll probably tease me

SantasNuttySTaff · 02/12/2008 15:04

use the teasing to your advantage

SpringySunshine · 02/12/2008 15:06

It depends which kind of teasing occurs, I suppose

BabyBolat · 02/12/2008 15:15

HA HA!!
Samantha from SATC - not quite - although I do wish I had her balls!

Oh I would just leave it in the bed on your pillow and if he says anything just reply that you might not have fantasies about other men, but at the moment you do have fantasies about getting some, so you are acting on those!!!

I think he will love it!!!

SpringySunshine · 02/12/2008 15:44

Haha, I may do that. I may in fact pretend to be Samantha & be all "Oh sweetie, a woman has her needs..." & then jump on him

BoffinMum · 02/12/2008 16:23

Hello, my bath went very well, and I didn't drown! Thanks for trying to rescue me, Nutty!

I have not been in it all this time, otherwise I would be very wrinkly by now. I actually got out of it at lunchtime, had two cheese sandwiches and some Heinz tomato soup, painted my toenails bright red, blow dried my hair nicely and generally glammed up a bit, and then went to chiropractor at 2. He was very nice if a bit violent, and I managed to walk for 8 minutes without crutches afterwards. This is the furthest I have walked for ages (although I am tired now).

He told me a funny joke:

Four people in a plane about to crash - doctor, banker, priest, and a boy aged 10. Only three parachutes.

Doctor shouts, "I save lots of lives, so I should have a parachute!", grabs one and leaps out the plane.

Banker shouts, "I am one of the cleverest people in the world and I make lots of money for everyone, so I should have a parachute!", grabs one and leaps out the plane.

Priest turns to the boy and says, "Well, son, I've had a long and happy life, but you have your whole life ahead of you, so you should have the last parachute."

Boy says, "Oh, it's quite alright father, the banker just leapt out the plane holding my backpack".

Thanks for all your support earlier everyone, things are very hard at the moment but I am trying to hang onto the fact that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

frekkles · 02/12/2008 16:38

thank you every body xx

bright red nail polish ! well done miss boffin, that really made me smile your attitude is really inspiring, I hope the chiropractor continues helping you x

and miss sunshine, i can appreciate your frustration. I've had nasty thrush for the last week and therefore no nookie either. Although I had an 'ear job' at the weekend, which apparently was my bloke treating my ears the same way he would my doodah. Twas rather nice. Maybe you could try a similar suggestion with your hubby, as maybe he's subconsciously a bit freaked out by your pregnancy and doesn't feel turned on by your doodah just now because it's so obviously busy doing something else. So maybe suggest he could focus his attention on different parts of your body instead and therefore take the pressure off? so it doesn't become an issue and escalate? and perhaps seeing you get so turned on at his inventiveness might get him turned on again?

I've been making apple chutney, apple crisps and apple pie today. Feeling a bit domestic goddessy. tis nice!

SantasNuttySTaff · 02/12/2008 18:08
