The PESH deli - where the goal is to get a nice holiday/back in the saddle

[skihorse]

I haz made new fred.

sorry ski. Unfortunately I can only agree about feeling shitty and feeling like you'll never be able to be active and energetic again.

Perhaps, as this is so out of character for you, you might want to ask your MW if it's normal? it must be harder when you are used to being v active.

I'm hating being out of breath at the slightest activity and dreading going back to work on Monday. I'm currently on my second chick flick of the day and I'd rather be regrouting the bathroom tiles

skihoss twas my husband that celebrated the BFP with demo'ing a few thrusts, a big cheesy grin and announcing "well he works then! Yeah!" Silly sod. Quite cute and hysterically funny. Still smile recalling that now.

Its been a week since the BFP. Have had a right week. Started off with lots of cramping, which has now faded. Abdomen now feels tender, in that when Husband tried to cuddle me or wrap his legs round to snuggle up (think contortionist and you are almost there) well, go figure, it hurts and so I have to shove politely ask him to move. As I said before I often forget as don't have any feelings and then something twinges and its like "oh there it is".

Dont have any sickness, though I am wondering if I feel sick, prob all in my imaginations. Oh and I still cant stop eating..... My mother put on 3 stones with me, so looks like I am going to probably follow the same route and will end up mimicking a walrus but with better teeth.

Knickerwatch is still priority. Keep wondering what is going on in there! Think I am 5 weeks or about there anyways.

Saturday's are made for vegging and watching TV. Today's choice a Dolly Parton documentary.

Drs appt next Friday.

Oops soz Ski advice duly noted and filed.

Silver we must be about the same time wise...or are you 5 weeks from ovulation now? God this timing thing is doing my head in. How can I be 5 weeks when I conceived 2 weeks ago? Hmm.

honeyitsfuny according to the due date calculator on here, we conceived on 31 January and due on 23 October, so who bloody knows! As doesnt that make me 3 weeks? Not sure where I have got 4 weeks from tbh.

I fink I have made it all up and the dr is going to know I am a nutter.

ladies, remember pregnancy starts from the first day of your last period, not conception. (40 weeks from there) It's not worth asking why - just get used to it! All you will be asked for the next 35 weeks is the date of your last period. No one gives a shiz when you actually did the deed! (although it will matter to you, because the dates you have in your head will be different from what the doctors say, after using their little wheel to predict your EDD. But from your first scan you will all have something more certain to go by)

Just come back from Kingston and have bought:
1 cot blanket
1 gro-bag
5 sleeveless vests
3 babygros
2 pairs of scratch mitts
2 ickle iddy biddy hats
1 amazing fleecy soft-as-you-like romper suit ready for next winter as it was in the sale at JL.

1 bouncer/rocker chair on order. Travel system pram ting settled on, about to look for it cheaper on t'internet.

Tis fo real

ski feeling your pain my darling. Take it easy - it's one of the only times you'll be able to get away with it

ArseyBreather checked my diary and I am officially thick. Got my dates mixed up, date of last droid was 14th Jan, making due date 19th Oct, making me 5weeks, and then 6 weeks next Thursday. Confused? Me? Never!

My EDD was 21st July, midwife said 24th due to LMP, scan said 22nd. They won't update my notes because... - so I'm using 22nd as my due date.

Grumpy I'm honestly not moaning due to lack of energy, this hurts. I know it's not a bad pain, I know the baby isn't going anywhere, but it hurts.

I have a midwife appointment on Monday morning anyway and will obviously be raising this... I don't want to spend the rest of my pregnancy on a low dose of paracetamol but I'm not quite sure what else to do. Gin? Am continuing with the feeling of how the fucking fuckety fuck would you, could you not know you were pregnant?

Silver Some days I cannot even tolerate jailbait resting his hand upon my abdomen - it's very tender... hence the longing looks at dungarees.

I think I'm feeling doubly sorry for myself because my ski gang are flying to San Francisco/Reno on Monday and it's all come around so quickly and I'm stuck here.

pistednag

Its gotta hurt when your buds piss off on hollibobs when you should be going with them.

Let's face it, what would you rather? Two weeks of memories or your very own speshal baybee?????

Hell, it won't be half as much fun without you there anyway and they will all wish they hadn't bothered and saved themselves the cash.

We haz been looking at the jojomamanbebe shop, they haves lovely baby clothes and v nive maternity clothes too.

People on In It To Win It really are as thick as your proverbial mince. Jebus, I've been raving at the telly at the quantity of pond life they managed to net to participate.

I'm not watching telly again, it just makes me vexed.

Yous vexing meh?

I am going to need proper maternity wear very soon I think. My bump has risen like fucking Atlantis over the last 2 weeks.

Nearly had maor meltdown last night, Husband and I went out for pizza. I am halfway through enoying a pepperoni mutha of a pizza which was delish, then I had a sudden panic! Not supposed to eat pepperoni/salami type thangs are ya? Husband said that as it was cooked, it would be ok.

Guttingly, I did leave some as was unsure.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO SURVIVE WITHOUT PEPPERONI PIZZA????

Calm down Silversky, you are allowed to eat all the pizza family except hawaiian, this is because pineapple with meat is just wrong and you shouldn't do it at any normal time.

I haz had nice morning of vomit at 18+3. Nom nom. [cries]

Going to go and feed the goats now, I think that's on the banned list due to "goat disease".

Really? Tis true?????

Gutted.

I agree on the Hawaiian thing too, in fact, lots of fruit on certain foods can be weird. Not a fan of fruit cheesecakes or glazed fruit on top of things.

Not envious about the puking.

You have goats? How many? Pets or farm?

Basically when you eat something ask yourself the following questions:

i) Is it August? Am I at a wedding? Has this been in the buffet in the midday sun for hours?
ii) Am I buying this from the back of a van with a slightly rancid smell?

If the answer to both of those is no, then you're safe to eat it. It's just common sense really... you don't normally eat stuff which looks or smells bad, why start now?

See, you are acting like a mummy already! Yes, I remember reading something about goats, and also new born lambs or sumfink. But as we have goats in the village and in a few weeks hundreds of sheep will be having their lambs in the barn 12 feet from my back door, I kind of glaze over when I see that stuff. As far as I know people have been living on farms while pregnant for centuries.

Sorry about sickness and rising Atlantis belly. Sickness at 18 weeks is a bit crap. Also please can you describe your pain more specifically as I am a bit worried - you should not be in pain all the time.

preggos should not touch sheep (signs everywhere on public farms etc), but I figure it's ok if you wash your hands rather than lick sheep spit from them. That said, I am being careful around da animals at the mo.

My baby is going to look like pizza when it comes out I eat so much of the stuff. Pepperoni and all. NOM!

It's gone kicking crazy over the last 24 hours.

Ponymum Quite, seems a bit daft getting my knickers in a twist about giving some bread to baby goats when I get dog-snogged on a daily basis and the other week had to scoop horsepoop out of a water feeder. I do wash my hands again before eating but what can you do? Exactly curly, I will not be using sheep spit to fry my runny eggs in.

As for the pain it dawned on me that if my tum has grown SO much in 2 weeks then fuck, it's going to hurt. It seems to be this ligament/stretching pain - almost like a feeling of trapped gas permanently although I can parp AND poop! After puking this morning the little bugger did a couple of cartwheels as if to ram home the point...

Thinking about the pain... I had a tummy tuck in summer 2008 which healed very badly and at one point they thought I was depositing calcium in my abdominal wall (ultrasound said no). It hurt to run because it felt like I had a stone under my skin or something. This is what it feels like now... a constant non-specific pain and I know it's not baybee, he's fine. I took a couple of paracetamol, a boiling* hot water bottle and an early night.

*I made it as hot as I could and then prayed to baby jebus that it wouldn't leak down my belly button and boil the baybee!

sounds like you've pinpointed the cause of the pain ski. Hope the boiling water bottle worked.

Wish my baby would do somersaults. It keeps kicking in the exact same place (lower right) which is also where I get searing ligament pain when I move/sneeze/cough. Talk about kicking me where it hurts!

I'm sure I came on here to answer a question I realised I'd missed... oh well, i'll be back later

I ave cough and sneeze pain too. Entertainingly I have to bend double to try and stop too much pain and then it invariably forces a trump out too . Just waving my dignity off at the door....

Oh Silver - ski is right ref fodder. God how the government have got us running scared of everything . I said to the gals yesterday, the only thing I actually consciously gave up was peanuts cos of a history of allergy-type illnesses (hayfever, eczema etc) and thus a theoretical risk of similar allegies, and then discovered that the Crunchy Nut Choco Clusters I had merrily been addicted to for weeks were packed with them. hey ho.

Will listen to ghosty and be careful with the baa baas. (But what do I do about the plague of mice in our house? One has actually jumped up on the sofa while I'm sitting on it! God knows what they do when we're asleep.)

ski Did they do a thorough exploration after the op? It's just you are giving me eerie reminders of (one of) my pain(s) last pg which they kept telling me not to worry about. After the foal was born I ended up having emergency surgery for an adhered appendix/intestine thing. I wanted to go back to the condescending midwives and say 'See, I told you I was IN PAIN you ignorant cows'. If you have any serious worries do make a fuss.

I was told yesterday that 'Oh you don't look pregnant at all.' I am ignoring though as the woman who said this is known for talking nonsense due to good breeding and the need for polite conversation. Also if I do take it seriously, this would mean accepting that people see me as being a fat cow generally, so really must ignore. We were at the meet (patting horsies and standing in manure) when the aforementioned Lady X made this comment, before grilling me about exactly how old I am now then braying loudly 'Well these days having a baby at 41 is absolutely fine.' Er, thanks for that...

shetland which hunt are you wiv? Its the job of the posh folk to make non posh folk feel inferior. They is like born wiv dis natural backhanded compliment technique.

silver Not with any - there was a meet just down the road yesterday so we decided to take the foal along to watch. Yes I agree on the back handed compliment knack! I used to keep my horse at her stables, and her groom is a good friend of mine so we always have a good laugh about the latest thing she has come out with. Not that nice for my friend though, who has to put up with a fair bit in order to keep a dream job and the stunning cottage that goes with it. Everything has a price I suppose.
