Due April 2009 - Chapter 24: Pulling the Plug on the April babies!!!

[BabyBolat]

Here we go again....

Mathsmummy - oh no, at least he was nice about it, i would have been ribbed endlessly for months!!

Dh would have been appalled! I would never hear the end of it!!!

Springy - shes hooked up to the monitor, His heartrate is 170-180 and shes waiting for the doc.

At least she is being seen and not waiting around this time

That's an ok heart rate isn't it?

yup its at the higher end but normal which is good

well hopefully se will be sorted really quickly compared to last time as its midweek and daytime!! hooray!!

i'm not sure about it tbh i think so

wondering if I should fill you all in on my icky details

fill us in fill us in!!!

we need some distraction until Springy pops out george!!

go for it bronze

oooh and be quick as I have to pop to the chemist!

Well my diarrhoea has come back. I've had it on and off (more on than off) for over a month now
My bits are sooo swollen I feel like if I step over something its going to go slchlup and disappear

my nipples are flaking? no idea

my legs are swollen and look so unattractive. I don't think it helps that theyre so white theyre blue

and Ive just discovered a hole in the toe of my sock. I say mysock in fact theyre dhs which Im wearing int he hope that being a bit bigger they wont cut off the circulation in my ankles.

I'm sure theres more but thats enough for now

Ok will have to catch up when I am back - see you in half an hour - smutts will you txt if any development from springy!!!

bronze the feet thing is annoying me too - so fat they look like blue sausages

just think it could be worse..could be high summer...

I've never had swollen legs before. Well I have but it wasn't until I had ds1. I got back into my normal clothes to go home then couldnt get my feet in my shoes

bronze I always wear DH's socks. I buy extra for him so that I can wear them. My toes like to wriggle all the time and appreciate the extra wriggle room in men's socks.

Bronze i'm with you on the first 3!!

why do nipples flake?

the diarrhoea is bugging me. I'm starting to feel weaker as I don't have much appetite either and my owning craving has been salad of all things. I havent put on any weight in the last month.. if anything I've losta pound or two.

Don't know about flaking nipples but I have insanely itchy boobs at the moment. Been like that for a couple of weeks. Mostly on the underside. Desperately want to scratch them all the time. V. embarrasing (caught someone's expression of utter horror as they watched me having a good ol scratch in the car when stopped at the traffic lights )

Must just delve into that diarrhoea in more depth (!!!) - have you been to doc? Is it normal bowel-opening frequency for you, but runnier, or is it multiple times per day?

Hands up for swollen bits and flaky nips here too.

Bronze i have no idea but i take off my bra these days and its filled with blooming bra dust!!

salad cravings? Can you bulk up your salads to make them a bit more nutritious. I did a side salad last night where I added to the usual greenery some chopped up left over new potatoes and walnut pieces. I often chuck some feta cheese and olives in to make it a bit more Greek.

Is bra dust like cervix dust?

nutty- will admit to lying in bed watching tv int he evenings and picking

sweaty at night too especially under the boobs... ugh

juw no I havent. Its more than normal but has been so long thats its almost normal in itself if you see what I mean

My bits have never been this swollen, even fully engaged witht he others. I'm only 2/5s this time too. Oh except of course after giving birth but then you expect it.

I have another month to go of this crap...

though mw did say she didn't think I would go over

see now Im whinging

lulu we often have salad with things like avocado and prawns and crusty bread (or bris so I think I'm doing ok. I guess a lot of people would kill to have a salad craving rather than a doughnut craving. At least it'll be easier afterwards.
