PESH Deli - Taking the B out of BESH

[skihorse]

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!

Should check my spelling before I post.

cheggs excellent to see you!

Kidney shiz sounds v. rubbish tho... take a flagon of gin to cheer you up.

I fink I am filling out. My bridget jones' feel bit snug round the butt and gut. I just know I am going to be massive.

Last fri I was out with some pals and I walked into a lamp post. I was actually trying to avoid it! Must be the hormones.

Husband wants to be at the birth. I asked him to make sure, otherwise I'd be on my tod.

lol @ frontrunner cheggers

rots I think you'll find pandora is a lady - so you can keep true to all that crap about one-woman man shiz. So you're saying you wish you'd tried a bit of the other when at uni?

silver Can you still do your breeches up? Mine are now unzipped and I need to wear a long jumper. As I shuffle across the yard they slip down and it's only a matter of time before I show the world my arse.

cheggers I'm not sure the c-section is such a bad thing, at least it's not an emergency one - you've got plenty of time between now and then to burn your hippy shit candles & incense sticks and come to terms with it all. I wouldn't give the REAL date to people though.

I have PM'd pandora with carrots details at the other place.

I am now going home to read cosmo finish this presentation.

hi cokie yes it's 2 and well yes i am well ard lol

pleased to meet you

rots am 34 weeks today. i will try sort out a piccy of bump for you all to laugh at at some point. it's getting quite ridiculous now.

the doc was genuinely surprised today though at my belly (while he was having his weekly rummage) that it was still stretch mark free. to be fair i am too and am obsessively rubbing all sorts into it. can highly recommend that bio oil stuff. not coz it might be any good at stopping stretch marks (can't imagine creams would stop them anyway) but because it smells of holidays. lovely.

'specially for me who has in effect been grounded for entire pregnancy due to inability to fly without getting wasted

and no i don't want to do flying lessons!!!!!

sorry iggy strictly class A's for me now

and on that note skater i can't believe you're gonna be at glastonbury while i'll be knee deep in poo.

at least send us some tweets so we can pretend

cheg, skater will also be knee-deep in poo - it's Glastonbury.

Would love to see a bump pic . Are you SURE you're SM free? I was boasting of the same until LC came out, belly flopped and as well as my toes (which technicall I RE-discovered) I discovered my entire lower bump on the offside covered in the buggers. Nearside mark free. Go figure.

ski when my best mate told me he preferred men to, well, girls, like me n stuff, I was gutted coz, well, I fancied him. A lot. But I was Miss Supportive Friend and held his hand to the LCB meetings n stuff, and thought, you know, I should try, but I didn't. Do I regret it? Sort of, but then at the same time if I'd REALLY felt that way I guess I'd have done it. I'm not really adventurous in who I do it with . WHERE I do it, that's another matter...

cheggs Howzit! Oww on kidney blockage. Hope you are feeling good about the c-s. I had a great experience last time (as per calm happy photo) so can give you lots of reassurance about it. But then they only yanked one out of me... So excited that we are finally going to get some PESH babies!

pandy "I would not jump out of a fully sevicable aircraft with a parachute on for anything". Fine, but you are therefore not referring to planes owned by skydiving clubs, are you? Have you seen them? Jumping out really is the best option, I assure you.

Please expand on the "crash" your OH had. Was this inside or outside the aircraft?

I am trying to work but actually watching Cheltenham. Not my fault really. The company I am doing this consulting for has still not sent me some essential docs I need for the next bit of work, so not a lot I can do. Would love to be clocking up some nice lucrative hours now that the foal is finally back at nursery. (Did I mention she has been miserably vomiting and pooing all over both of us since last week? I try not to mention these things too much so as not to put you all off...)

ski think anuvver couple of weeks and my jodhs will be v uncomfortable round the waist.

A question that I must ask you all. Where do the PESH's go once the baybee's have arrived proper? Is there some other fred to join or is that it? Now you've all had your chillun, so fuck off.

It has to be some massive classy club with lots of booze etc etc as one will not not have much chance to go out when "with child".

silver has only gone and asked the question which has no answer. Basically silver, because no PESH has laid one yet we don't know what happens yet. I think it'll be Edvard Munch themed though. And gin obv.

silver has also pointed out another question. "What is the plural of PESH"?

PESHes
PESHs

ski I can't see anything on t'other place.

Not that other place rots, it's a secret third place.

TGO is going to be at the birth, he doesn?t get a choice, I have no one else ? no mum and no friends close enough that I would let in. IRL I am extremely private (that?s a euphemism for stubbornly independent btw) and there are very few people who get to see the real me, I don?t really do showing emotions or vulnerability ? someone once described me as the ice queen ;) Certainly can?t think of anyone other than TGO that I would want to be there. I may well have a friend there, but by accident ? an online friend I know through another forum is actually a trainee mw at my hosp. Because she?s originally an online friend I have let my guard down enough to let her in so am hoping she?ll be able to be there.

TGO and I are approaching it like a sporting event. He was my pit bitch at my 24 hr race last year and was phenomenal at it - a brilliant mix of loving encouragement and evil brutality, and great at knowing what I wanted to eat / drink / be told when. So if we can do it like that, it?ll work.

TSF is planning to be there too - though he has a bit of a phobia of hospitals (eg we saw a play set in a hospital, bare set except for a bed and dripstand, and his legs turned to jelly). I am considering asking my Mum as back-up so at least if he needs to step out he will be able to without feeling he is abandoning me. It also frustrated my Mum when at my sister's first birth the hospital refused to tell her anything (she was out of communication with us for 24 terrifying hrs). At least if her name is down as birth partner the hospital may be able to give her some info on me.

Though they have booked a holiday for my due date....! This was done during the time we knew but we hadn't told them. It's only a 4 day break and the likelihood of them missing it is miniscule I reckon.

I am toying with the idea of a doula (maybe instead of mum?) but, as you all know, am in total denial of that aspect anyway)

OMG! A secret third place? I'm so !

Now then, Newcastle. May. I'm thinking. I mean, I'll be over 8 mths preggy, in a wheelchair, and up to my eyeballs in cheggy-special opiates, but is there a way I could do it? MrP just suggested I try one of those mobility schemes, so I googled it. Looks like I could drive to a place called Eldon Gardens carpark and rent an old lady shopmobility scooter. But if I did that would any of you glamourous PESHes wish to be seen with a fat, drugged up, lunatic preggo speeding through the streets of Newcastle on a pensioner-special electric scooter? I mean, really?

haha no big mystery. I ran in to pandora on a completely unrelated site. No differs allowed. In fact it's a male-dominated place and you should've seen the size of the shoulder-chips when pandora revealed her profession!

ponymum The plan is raspberry mojitos & lunch at a place called Revolution which is v close to the station. Btw, you've just described me without the wheelchair.

I have tracked down Rots (I hope!) and have opened the door for cyberstalkiing ;).

Cheggers (pan bows and scrapes to someone who is clearly a PESH dignitary of some kind) Hello - I bypassed the BESH bit - well, I made one post whereon I was quizzed on being barren - but have found I like it here. Sloe gin and chocolate cupcakes on me!

Rots your flying sounds exciting! I sat i the front seat of a Cessna something-or-other when I was on a trip to Dar es Salaam and OH and I popped over to Zanzibar, I was rather concerned that my controls seemed to have been disconnected, so I hoped the pilot didn't have a heart attack or something.

Pony OH and his mate did a static line jump and OH's mate is a bit of a porker. He was too heavy for his chute, and he caught up with OH and as he went passed him (floating like a stone as he went) his canopy enveloped OH. They both hit the ground with a thump, a scream and then no movement. Once I had run barefoot across the stubble field in panic I found them both sitting there giggling and demanding to go to the pub. It was only once they were pissed they realised that neither of them could walk - no really. I know it's a one off, but I still wouldn't do it unless I have to. Although if I am ever in a situation where I would want to jump out of a plane with a parachute I am probably going to die anyway. No point in worrying about it!

Ski did you see the 'What's the worst thing you could find on a chalet holidays' thread, and the first reply was 'someone called pandora?' PMSL

Right, look ere this is getting well clicky. I'm either going to have to join a pony club, stalk you all on FB, or come to fricking Newcastle in May. Added to which you've all got bigger bumps than me. Humph.

Hi Cheggers! You are indeed of legendary status on the beshie/peshie freds. C-section sounds nice and organised to me. I'd quite like a tummy tuck on the side as well. Which at the rate of monster munch snacking, is quite a realistic outcome.

I think I will consider letting my mum in too. I think if this thing goes on for days, it will be good for OH to have a bit of support himself.

bloody hell, husband wouldnt be able to cope with mother go the delivery quite. I think he is going to be am emotional wreck himself and wont need any catty comments from her! I can hear it now as baby emerges, well silver, you'll have to sell your horse now.

Anyone had any chums react badly to your diffed news?

No but I had one the other week laugh her bollocks off at me getting a Doula. She proclaimed it to be a 'london thing'.

Mind same chum took the piss out of one of my other friends when she accidentally strayed into the confession of favouring organic food. No nonsense northern district nurse she is. She is not in any way a fool-sufferer

pandora I did see that. I won a bloody prize in their xmas competition which I have still not received... I have threatened to "do a Pandoara" if I don't receive it soon. WWYD? (double ski bag on wheels from small independent designer/producer). I did say it wasn't a massive rush as I wouldn't be skiing 2010, but 3 months??

Cheggers is the BESH IVF poster-girl. First frozen baybees they chucked up her worked.

silver Funnily enough I have sensed some resentment. Most have been lovely and very excited for me though.

Well, I hope you peshs can advise me a bit: I started some light spotting last night. Threw me into a total state of course.It was not a lot - just a little bit of reddish spotting and beige when I wipe.

It stopped then. And now it's started again this morning. Funny enough, my nose is kind of bloody too - both last night and again now.

I am certainly not having any bad pains, but some rumblings and feelings I think. Maybe I wouldn't have bad pains anyway: I never get period pains really.

Anyway, I'm pretty scared. Not really anything I can do I guess except wait and see.

witty not to panic - others have had bleeding and has been fine. I think if you start getting bad pains/ more blood then go to the nearest EPU.

Can't remember how many weeks you are? The others will be able to tell you when they had bleeding.

Poor you

Thanks Iggy. I'm 6 weeks today. No EPUs here, but I have an appointment for a scan Tuesday anyway.

It is a bit shit. No getting much work done.
