Due April 2009 - Saucy dreams, squirting boobs and spacehoppers. Whatever will the April mums get up to next?"

your womb must be very cosy holly lo is probably having a snuggle with the umbilical cord and having a good old thumb suck

i'm sure i read somewhere that they can do that now?!

lol nutty - maybe its that - but I have had the odd bit of pinky discharge (sorry if tmi) so was wondering about phoning the midwife, but I dont want to do that if its just something that happens normally.

had some overnight last night but we did have sex so have read on some sites that its fairly normal after that. just not sure whether i am irrationally not worried iyswim.

posted on the pg threads earlier but so far no replies.

give your mw a buzz i'm sure she wont mind and you will feel better if your mind is fully at rest, and they do like to know these things even if it is just normal pg stuff

and have you also been eating beetroot?, that turns everything pink

lol nutty - nope no beetroot. am at work just now and dont fancy phoning with my boss just across the hall but will maybe give them a wee ring tomorrow, especially if i havent felt it move much still by then, or have more of the same pinky stuff.

Just back from the doctor - after a bit of them faffing around trying to decide whether or not any of them could use a doppler, one of them decided to have a go - & found his heartbeat immediately! I didn't even twig that it was his at first, I just thought that it was mine but a bit fast because I was so scared. But she was feeling my pulse & said 'that's not yours' at which point I was all , which made her laugh. & she tapped out my pulse onto my arm so I could compare the sound. It was lovely, but not at all what I expected - I'd heard things about trains or galloping horses, but it just sounded like a real person's heartbeat. I know that sounds stupid, but it still feels a bit impossible that I'm growing a person.

I've really surprised myself with how much I love this little baby, though. He's not even here yet & I'm already completely besotted - I don't know how I'm going to manage to love him very much more at all, but I know that when I see him there'll probably be a 'rush of love' & I can't imagine loving anyone so much. He's the best thing in the whole world, ever.

One day I'm going to tell him about how much he scared me this morning & how I ended up crying all over the internet & he'll just laugh at me. What a horrible young man

Nutty, I've had a lot of the cookies, so you can all help yourselves to the leftovers. Save me from myself! I read that they can suck their thumbs now, too. Bless them. Also, apparently if you prod your tummy they start 'rooting' as if there's a nipple to suck on. I was about to say about how I like prodding mine in the face, but you might all think that it's no surprise that he's deliberately scaring me in revenge & as for the Alien moment, that's what mine's usually like - that's why I was extra worried by the silence. I'm going to enjoy almost having my body to myself for a little while, if I can. It's an unusual experience these days to be typing away on MN without my tummy bulging out all over the place.

holly, I've heard about the pink discharge after sex too. I've not had it (but then I've not had much sex ) but I think that it's normal. But if you're worried, see if you can get your doctor / midwife / hospital to check like I just have - it really helps

aw snowy bless ur bursting heart, glad you feel a lil better now

I do, thank you Nutty. & DP is out for the rest of the afternoon, so I have a lovely quiet flat until he comes back with chocolate.

He has an appointment with the doctor next Monday to talk about his issues. The nurse measured him today for his registration & he's 6'3! Last time he was measured, a couple of years ago, he was 6'2. He's some kind of giant (this is partly why he's so scary when he gets angry, because he's 9 inches taller than me ).

I just got kicked right in the bladder. I never thought I'd be pleased to feel that. Hopefully that's the start of him waking up a bit now he knows that he's had his fun & scared the living daylights out of me.

dh is 6'3 a whole foot taller than me tis a blessing and a curse ....i can spot him a mile off in a crowded place and on the downside i need tippytoes or the yellow pages for a snog

dontcha just love Male order choc delivery's

He probably knows you are a bit calmer and more relaxed now and has decided he is quite happy that he has you running around after him it is time to put you out of your misery!!!

Holy, just had a look online and apparently it is perfectly normal but if you are worried agree with others - just go and check it out, can't hurt!

wonder how boffin's doing i bet shes had her appointment and feeling like a new woman and taken herself off shopping or coffee or something equally fun

and where has LuLu gone???

I bet she is - Quick question - Is anyone else still getting ms - was really bad yesterday morning with actual sickness and feel a bit rough now - there is less than 15 weeks left so wondering when it is going to stop!

I quite like the tall man thing - snuggling in for a cuddle is lovely. But there are practical issues like we can't holiday in cute cottages because he's too tall for the ceilings. He doesn't even fit in normal beds properly It does mean that he can walk home with my chocolate faster than a shorter man could, which is the really important thing.

I was wondering about LuLu as well. She's probably baking something fabulous again.

How are your legs now, Nutty?

BabyCRIMBOlat, I've not been sick for about 6 days now (the longest period of time since 6 weeks!), but still have to race against hunger so as to avoid it & will probably be sick again soon. Until last week I was still suffering fairly badly with it & being sick at least once every 2-3 days. I'm 22+2 now. My mum was very sick with me until 26 weeks. I think it just depends, I'm afraid.

thanks babycrimbolat - will leave it till tomorrow when the midwife comes to our little local gp surgery and might give her a phone there and see if i can pop down to have her listen to the heartbeat.

sonwy and nutty - snap with the tall dh - mine is 6ft 2 and i am a foot shorter. i do love the height of him, but occasionally wish the difference was smaller for dancing etc (strictly come dancing type stuff)

BB -my ms stopped at around 14 weeks still get a bit of nausea now and again though and bad acid (gaviscon is my nbf), i hate to be the harbinger of doom but i have heard that some people get it all the way through

left leg still dead, can feel my foot though and shooty pains in the right but it stil works so tis a good day

oooohhhh i would so love to do a bit of strictly

The idea of me & DP doing any kind of Strictly stuff makes me laugh. I trip over my own feet at the best of times.

Nutty, take some cookies will you? You obviously deserve some

ok ok you've twisted my arm lol

i'm weak when it comes to choc biccys and cookies

It's not weakness - your baby wants them! I distinctly heard your baby asking for some cookies

my baby is going to be blue & furry with crazed wobbly eyes and its first word will be coooooooookkkkkkkiiiiiiiieeeee at this rate lol

You'll save a fortune on funny outfits, though

to add to Nuttys joke contribution thought I'd share the following!

MY LIVING WILL

Last night, my friend and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her, 'I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.'

She got up, unplugged the Computer, and threw out my wine.

She's such a bitch.....

i feel sorry for the mw on delivery congratulatons mrs taff .....its a ......welll its a small blue furball.....what would you like to call it lol

purlease - ooohhhh i like it
