A new thread for the gabbers.

Hopefully we will find out during the course of this thread whether dear cheggers has laid a baybee or two yet!

Ah the joys of constipation! Glad to know I'm not the only one. I'm having a good few days on that front after breakfasting on all bran last week for a few days, and have reverted to porridge to try to cut down on the amount of wheat I eat (a lot).

All I want are simple carbs though!

But hey at least it's sunny!

Pan we're having union ishoos at my place of work too - I'm all for power to the workforce but not to idiots whipping people up into unnecessary frenzies against a management that is genuinely trying to do the right thing.

I'm hungry. Again.

Ski when you put it like that I am a terrible mother and should be prevented from ever having any more children. You think it's bad worrying about what we can eat now, just wait till you get to weaning and try and unravel the minefield that is 'what is a baybee allowed to eat?' DD lives on chocolate and bread and butter, as everything else might be dangerous!

I'd love to be out there in the terminal doing something useful, but apparently Elf and Safety reckon the chances of a violent nutter who can't get on his flight to Magaluf of wherever might punch me in the stomach, or my hormones might make me over-emotional and unable to cope with sqreechy shouty angry passengers. So little map books it is, sadly.

I read Switty's 10 as being just 10 - could be 10am. That would make her more normal.

pandora69 · 16/03/2010 12:13

Wrt consitpation - beans on toast for lunch every day works. Are we allowed that? With non-processed, pasteurised, non-mouldy cheese grated sparingly on top. Yum!

pandora69 · 16/03/2010 12:13

Washed down with gin, of course

SilverSky · 16/03/2010 12:15

no butter? Is there no enjoyment left?

Last night after troughing my tea of chicken korma, whilst watching masterchef, I did wonder if its considered greedy to have a jacket potato with cheese and beans as well? In the end, I could stand it no more and halfway thru Glee i put myself to bed. For my own safety.

skihorse · 16/03/2010 12:19

Surely people who go to Magaluf don't fly BA pandy?

Many, many years ago I ran in to a "spot of bother" with the Spanish authorities and had to peg it... I spent a very strange 24 hours in Magaluf, it's a different world there kids.

Have any of you other first timers gone menkul? We were talking last night about having another.

Gin & beans? How very 70s of you pandora.

silver I can't believe you ate chicken - full of germs. Korma = full of spices which will make your baby sick. Jacket potato = carbon. Cheese = mould. Beans = protein overload (plus Vit A obv.).

I hope you're proud of yourself.

Hence the emoticon, Ski. I wanna be out there crossing the picket line and being really right-wing. 'Snot fair!

givecarrotsachance · 16/03/2010 12:30

"As for Greek yoghurt - I've never heard of that. But, I eat it daily with blueberries & nana." ski you eat your Nana? I'm SURE that's on the prohibited list:

"Mothers should avoid eating blue cheese, runny eggs and elderly members of their family".

Don't worry whoever it was (sorry) who said they're getting clogged up early so it doesn't bode well. I got clogged up before I got a BFP - first symptom for me - and I'm managing it just fine. Pessaries are just one of those things, not caused by that as such but more baby sitting on my blood vessels.

SilverSky · 16/03/2010 12:35

well, thats it then. Bloody fruitarian i will be. But only once its hit the ground and landed in cat shit shall I eat it.

I tell you, its more than a minefield its a bloody joke.

Got mw coming to house next week for 2hour appointment. Will she give me date of scan? I will also test her on her foodstuffs suitable for preggos.

VoilaAnotherGimlet · 16/03/2010 12:42

Heh - there's a thread complaining about thread titles - and BESH./PESH features heavily! And per poor disgruntled Bessie we're all right wing horsey types.

I think people spend too much time in MN thinking about MN.

skihorse · 16/03/2010 12:47

Fock's sake. She went to boarding school herself. She's hardly orphan bloody Annie.

I am very busy between now and my maternity leave so I shall read that thread toot sweet.

skihorse · 16/03/2010 12:55

hahahaha I thought you were joking VAG! Wow, can't believe people would get their knickers in such a twist over something so trivial.

Right wing dog loving bastards.

Sounds like a possible PESH thread title?

Hello! I have been lurking, trying to be busy at work although I am having motivation issues, meaning I have none at the moment. Did you see this www.guardian.co.uk/society/2007/may/29/health.medicineandhealth (sorry I can't seem to manage that link thing) which was someone referred to on BESH fred before. Interesting reading on advise regarding what not to eat and why. I still can not bring myself to tuck into blue cheese though...

CurlyCasperReturns · 16/03/2010 13:08

And here was I, being diplomatic and filling them in on who/what we are.

"Horse, dog, cat, human - we don't care whose shit we talk about"

skihorse · 16/03/2010 13:16

I think it's really funny. Maybe there are a high proportion of horsey/country-loving women on this thread.

Down with dogs, up with terracotta pots and lovely things dahling.

had scan - scan good - no anomalies

Ponymum · 16/03/2010 13:28

Golly! "tedious right wing women who like ponies and dogs and hunting" - is that us? So I suppose as a liberal socialist immigrant I'd better resign from the thread, no...?

I am amazed that people have the time/energy to get in a tizz over things I'd never really noticed. (Though I was upset by a thread title once: a postnatal thread entitled "Welcome to all the little Princes and Princesses" or something like that! Puke!)

switty At the stage you're at 8:30 pm was about my limit. I would mostly fall asleep on the sofa involuntarily if I didn't get myself into bed by 8!

silver Have a look here. Sensible, official advice about what you can eat! Live/bio yoghurt def OK.
Is that Aussie Masterchef you're watching? MrP and I are completely addicted!

givecarrotsachance · 16/03/2010 13:28

LOVING both ski and cas's thread title suggestions!!!

Bessie said, "PESH is for people who were on the BESH thread and did manage to get pregnant (actually, it seems to be mostly for tedious right wing women who like ponies and dogs and hunting but that was not the original intention)."

Or, "I wasn't welcome on that thread coz I just kept causing trouble and winding people up so now I'm all resentful about it"

Plus I know for a FACT that a) we're not all right wing, b) we don't all like ponies, c) we don't all support hunting and d) we're not tedious. But I THINK we all like dogs? Even if some of us are allergic to them?

Ponymum · 16/03/2010 13:29

Yay for iggs on the scan!

skihorse · 16/03/2010 13:36

Yay iggy - did you see anything dangling or did the sonographer gloss over that area? Congratulations on your lovely news!

Pony Actually I don't mind the soppy thread titles... the further I get along this journey the more soppy I feel. Although I'm not having a fucking prince!

carrots I contest a) - having differing political views from someone else does not push them to the very edge of the political scale - unless of course you live in a "black & white" world. b) I loves poniez, c) my dream in life is to get my little emperor on the cover of H&H before he passes his 11-plus, d) definitely not. e) Dogs are brilliant.

givecarrotsachance · 16/03/2010 13:36

FANTASTIC iggs!!!

Ponymum · 16/03/2010 13:44

Actually rots, I'm not sure whether I really like dogs. I mean, I like them, just not sure if I want one in the house. MrP is whining like a child over wanting a puppy. Even though he has asthma and hayfever and is allergic to his pillows.

And also, I think she was welcome, at least by lil' old "tolerate all views" me. From memory I think it was self-removal due to finding others' views too repulsive to tolerate, or something like that.

ski I find your views on soppy thread titles repulsive.

givecarrotsachance · 16/03/2010 13:47

Oh yes, good point ski. What flavour, iggs??? ski a) no, but I think the point is that "right wing" is intended to be an offensive term. To be mentally finished with, "right wing baby-eating down-with-the-workers I'd-not-kick-Cameron-out-of-bed Capitalists".

As opposed to just someone who doesn't feel that Labour's been doing a grand job, overall, although some stuff is ok, but on balance it's time for a change.

But obviously ANYONE who likes ponies is also right-wing (as OBVIOUSLY noone can afford them unless they're super rich). And obviously anyone with ponies LOVES to hunt the foxes and smear their kids with blood (as OBVIOUSLY one can't have a valid point of view about fox hunting without having to take part in the less acceptable parts of it) and OBVIOUSLY anyone who likes dogs is - well - normal?

Moving onto more important things. Let's just invent our own language and be completely cliquey about it all - finish the job.

Now, cheese. I need to yet again come back to the topic of blue cheese. When will you lot understand that blue cheese is NOT to be eaten in pregnancy? Or not in pregnancy? Or in fact ever? In fact, it should be BANNED and anyone who disagrees is a fox-loving COMMUNIST. It's disgusting. Full stop. It's wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong again. It is GONE OFF FOOD.

CUNextTuesday · 16/03/2010 13:53

@ 'gone off food' cos you know hot spices kill EVERYTHING!!! What you need is a Stilton Madras.

Well? What are you waiting for??

Well done iggpigg!! Hope you mind is more settled...
