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!

Fuckadoodah.

Spent the last three years cleaning the house, gardening etc, because of house viewing today. Due at 3pm, it's now 3.40 and the bastards have no-shown. No phone call, nada. VERY miffed. LC on a no-telly week due to misbehaviour so he's under my feet as the playroom is also out of bounds due to keeping it tidy. YOB has just taken him out on a bike ride so I get 5 minutes but playroom will def be open on his return. He's been an angel helping me clean and garden but his incessant chatter is just too much ATM.

Seems like I'm in good company feeling a bit ill today. Woke up, went to loo.... shock horror - blood. Turned out wasn't as bad as it sounds as overnight I've developed raging bloody (literally) thrush but it meant waking YOB and having him have a poke around to be sure of the source of said leakage (nice for all concerned), followed by phone call to labour ward (on call midwife number goes there it turns out) to check they didn't want to check me out - they didn't, they just said shuv up a Canestan.

ON top of which I'm also - how you say - in some pain a little further back. I've mentioned it before but it's really bad today and getting me down somewhat. OTC stuff helps a bit but not enough so I think a trip to the docs is in order .

And then these bastards haven't shown up, just when I didn't need to be doing a complete bloody house clean .

Ho hum.

head good luck

pony and carrots that sounds all round shite. Carrots how can thrush make you bleed???? That sounds fking bad man. And I've had it ALOT. The bit I'm worried about is cystitis which is another ailment I am unfortunately familiar with. Pressure on bladder etc does not bode well.

I seem to have developed a bartholins cyst which has a tendency to pop up every few years. And oh good, just when I can't take antibiotics... Hopefully it will go away on it's own but means I can't wear my now-really-fucking-tight-and-uncomfortable-with built-in-muffin-top skinny jeans. I keep looking at pictures of sexy preggy mamas with skinny jeans and nice tops and there is just no way I am ever going to look like that (3 months ago or anytime soon).

And where are these censored posts in the times today? Apparently everyone's on here talking about sex. Oh no not us, let's stick to barfing.

Cripes honey welcome to the mangy pregnancy things club I'd not heard of that, had to Google it. Sounds most uncomfortable

Thrush - bleeding - weeeelll only when skin breaks down which means I must have scratched in my sleep . I have no memory of it but the MW said, "It's no point saying you didn't scratch love, we all do it and that's what you've done". Nice.

Cystitus is a problem during preg of course. Do you "rock" when you pee? I pee, then rock slowly back and forward once or twice which usually releases more pee.

cunty yes, I would wash everything non-organic before use in soap nuts. To clarify as your post seemed to mix them up, they are different to non-bio, meaning they're not non-bio soap nuts! I've bought from here before. They do free samples too. They smell a bit strong/funny in the packet but they don't make the clothes smell (quite the opposite). Use them about 3-4 times then compost them.

pony hope you feel better soon.

one of the many reasons I don't eat KitKats

(It's a bit grim, sorry).

I was thinking about it after watching the Riley programme where Galaxy is being given Rainforest Alliance certification despite using rainforest-destroying palm oil. I was incensed to find that KitKat have been given FF certification (like Galaxy, just on the cocoa) which implies that it's suddenly an ethical product.

It's so sad.

Evening all. Today I am suffering from extreme tiredness. Has some friends over for dinner last night who arrived at 4.30 which sounds ridiculously early but it was to allow the little people to eat tea together, have a play and settle nicely in bed before adult dinner. I felt I was in the kitchen cooking and washing up all day. I even attempted my own profiteroles, which I failed at in the first attempt (Delia ? who usually always works for me) but second attempt worked out fine (recipe according to prick Gordon Ramsay). However I spent 2 hours making fucking profiteroles which I could have bought for £2 in Sainsbury. By the time we sat down to eat I had no energy to make conversation. So I will not be doing anything more which is remotely sociable until week 13, it is just too much effort - I am therefore officially in hiding.

Sorry Pony that sounds horrible all round. Hope things get better soon in the pony house.

Head nice to see you. IMPLANTATION BLEED! But you are fucking menkul P'ingOAS already! Arms crossed for you.

Making profiteroles? Utter madness...

LC yesterday:

LC, "Mummy, what does a Freeze Gun do?"?

Me, "Umm, what do you mean?"

LC, "You know, like on The Incredibles"

Me, "Oh, you mean the Ice Man?"

LC, "No, the police. They point their gun and shout, 'FREEZE!'"

Oh cokie, cokie, cokie you crazy lady. I can barely stack the dishwasher these days (laziness could arguably be a factor, but I'm sticking to MS as far as Mr Moo is concerned). How you managed to make profiteroles is beyond me. Dessert wise I can only ever be arsed to make crumble and even then I mainly make Mr Moo peel the fruit. I officially instruct you to fetch your duvet, a family sized bag of ready salted crisps and a large packet of rich tea biscuits and sit on the sofa for the next 5 weeks.

Oh I see what you mean Carrots. Maybe you should wear cotton knickers to bed to stop you cutting yourself. I used to get it bizarrely as a little girl and remember my mum making me do that with lots of canesten.

Also very familiar with the whole cystitis debacle. I once banished poor Mr Moo from my flat (in the days before we were married) because I knew I would be weeping on the loo for the entire night rocking like a crazy menkul woman. I get it really bad when I get it, so very anxious to ward it off at all costs.

Yes the cyst is horrid but not as bad as it could be. Once I couldn't actually sit down which was fairly annoying.

God and if that weren't enough I've got a bleeding abcess which means I've got to have a tooth removed but doc says leave it until later on in the pregnancy.

I'm a f**king disaster. As you can tell self pity is rife in the Moo household tonight.

Hello Cokie, hello! Yessir I have enforced a de-menkulising regime upon myself. I have Googled 'implantation bleed' so many times my PC is actually starting to roll its eyes. Shall hold off further POASing until the end of the week. No I will. No really!

Hello also all others: your tales of woe are sort of entertaining but also quite alarming.

Anyways. Back before long 'opefully!

Mantra: People who are not pregnant who want to be pregnant want these symptoms.

It reminds you life isn't too bad, even when it feels a bit shitty

cunty I was going to say the same thing.

You can't get to it with a razor either?

"I do not advise pregnant dog lovers to watch the film Marley and Me. I can't see for crying so much all the way through."

Ahahahahaha. I heart that movie, honey. Labradors rock.

honeymoo I've had Bartholins cysts too. The first time I got one I'd just split up with a fella so marched in to the doctor demanding to know which STD he'd given me. Meh. I've not had one for over a year and they're not as bad as they used to be because I think the skin has burst so many times now it's less strong. One of the worst was when I was away on a ski holiday. I decided to man up, ordered a steak dinner and a couple of G&Ts from room service. Ate and drank everything then armed with the steak knife I balanced myself over the edge of the bath and went for it. Never in history has a 1.3km button lift been so sweet. Btw, I too got thrush as a child - wtf?

Shaving a ladygarden? hahahahahahahahaha and hahahahahahahaha.

My symptom: up since 1am, it's now 3:30. I suppose it's practice.

Continuing along the vein of all things vile, might I remind you of this thread? www.mumsnet.com/Talk/pregnancy/780260-Well-nobody-mentioned-THAT-Things-I-never-thought-about-pregna ncy

How are we all doing physically other than the barfing/SPD & the like?

So far my feet and ankles are not doing anything untoward and I'm going to put my hand up to "don't give a damn about stretchmarks". Having been a serious fatty in the past I don't think pregnancy can touch what I've already done to myself - and got lopped off with my tummy tuck... only to get all over again. My tummy is a write-off zone anyway - but having got me pregnant jailbait has to shag me, it's his duty.

As far as shaving goes. My legs are the most difficult because I tend to do them sitting in the bath leaning forward - Julian objects to this. Sometimes I feel that if I lift my arms to do my pits in the shower then I'll faint and as for my bikini line. I've told jailbait he knows where it is and how to operate a razor...

Ah, nice to see there are others in the thrusg/cystitis/cyst club - thought it was just my bad luck. And while we're down there, I've loving that cunty now has an unkempt lady garden. I'm sure you are the one who told the rest of us to man up and wax earlier in pregnancy. Mind you, if I paid as much attention to my personal bush as I have been paying to my actual garden the last couple weekends, there would be a veritable Eden below my bump. 'Spose I'd better give it a trim. NO RAZORS, THEY ARE EVIL! Legs need done too, now that the sun is out. Perhaps SFF will help out...

Ski I'm feeling surprisingly lively at the mo. I stayed up till 11 on Friday and 12.30 Saturday, with early mornings following both. I'm really quite proud. I also managed to eat copious amounts of chocolate yesterday, which again puts me closer to normality.

Yesterday I:

Made breakfast for friends who stayed but had an early start

Walked dog with SFF but ended up running after she fucked off (cue hurty bump)

Planted all my herb seeds, tidied flowerbed

Viewed a damp-ridden property

Empty half of the loft, and re-packed stuff in a more sensible order.

Ate a huge home made pizza

A busy one, I think you'll agree. But it did mean I slept well last night. On the stretchmark front, My belly remains clear, but both breasts now look horrid. I think I need new bras again

I would never wax - only my eyebrows. And besides I would be in the same boat only worse. I simply can't life the apron away like I used to

Actually now I think of it, you did just tell us to get the blades out

at lift the apron. I had an in-shower "if I stand up straight I can't see my feet" moment yesterday. Then I tried to look for belly movement when she was kicking quite low down and I realised I could not actually see where she was kicking without a mirror.

My bump is a wierd shape. Bigger on the left where the placenta is.

Please bow down in awe everyone - I has shaved/ epilated & trimmed all extraenous body hair - feel all summery!

I haz viewed 6 houses over weekend - not liking any of them at this rate we'll sell ours and be homeless...

In other sadder news... teenager is coming to try my horsie next weekend for potential loan... they haz said they will let me ride anytime I want.. but is still sad - he's the first horse I paid for myself (my last one - that I still have, but who is out on loan, was bought for me as a teen and I rode him for 12 years)... I know is good thing really - but still...

LMAO @ cunty for even considering tidying THAT garden.

casper we're not worthy - very impressive!

I also am scrutinising for belly movement (esp in bath) but none so far.

Thanks for the link ski. I KNOW I'm not the only one suffering "furthre back" but I AM suffering now Off to docs on Wed to see if I can get something stronger than the OTC stuff.

Yikes - sorry to hear about all the ailments. They sound terrible and particularly bad when I muse on the fact that they probably await me in the coming months . Honey, Pony and Carrots you really seem to be going through the mill! - I hope things improve soon!

Well, morning sickness has kicked in. Stupid the way they call it that though. It really does last all day, I have discovered. I actually thought maybe I was getting sick with something as I felt so crappy on Saturday evening, but it continued through the night and all day Sunday and onwards into today, so I figure this is maybe the new status quo. I must admit though that I am not half as ill as some of you have been. Just a constant nausea and unattractive burpy behaviour - like permanent car sickness - but no actual puking. Boyfy announced that crackers were the biz and insisted on bringing me one to nibble in bed. This actually did really help and also revealed once again that he has been doing some research on the quiet. Very sweet.

So, 6+5 scan is now tomorrow morning! Can't believe the day has almost arrived. I'm very nervous obviously, but really hope everything will be looking good. We are booked to leave on holidays on Wednesday, so would be a bit of a disaster if there are problems. But let's see!

head I was enthralled by your graphic description of potential symptoms. I had no spotting at all before or around the time of the BFP, so no help there, but it still all sounds very encouraging! Hope to see you back here soon, so I won't be the newest Pesh on the block!

As for rugby, bah, stupid disappointing game. I guess I am the only one here who was saddened and chastened by (though admiring of) Scotland's late victory.

Seriously impressed by Goddess igster. Now, come here for an inspection

Good luck for tomorrow witty. Defo no sadness here about our win...

Hope all the bums, tums and other bits feel better soon PESHes.

switty My docs here won't give me half the medicines they'll prescribe in the UK but they have given me "emesaphene" which is a seasickness drug and has stopped me going potty on occasion. My sickness has at times been like seasickness, my balance would go, my vision would go and I'd be permanently. Thankfully now that I'm 22+ weeks I'm only vomitting 2-3 times a week rather than lying on the sofa 24/7 and sobbing. However, the joy of barfing later in the pregnancy is that the baybee on the bladder causes me to wee in conjunction with the barfing. Awesome. But... all said and done I do seem to be unusual in the barf stakes and everyone else's ms pretty much passed at the 12 week mark. I found if I woke at 3am (which I often did) - just eat the fecking weetabix and don't worry about the extra 300 calories! Nothing makes me barf quicker than an empty stomach. Good luck with the scan tomorrow - I take it the spotting has all gone? Just remember, every time you puke it means your baybee is sucking the goodness from your soul and all is healthy! That thought is what got Cossie and I through the darkest days.

I had another midwife appointment this morning. All is good with my little fella - my uterus is in the right place and heard the heartbeat again. I was asked not to tell them the sex of the baybee but she also told me they'd already spoken to the sonographer (standard practice) and that everything is brilliant. My blood pressure is a little higher than it has been (later appointment, 2 cups of coffee + ongoing court case worries?) - anyway, it's still well within the realms of normal and still low for my weight. She thinks current blood pressure is actually healthier than when it was lower.

I too am impressed with the iggy/curly energy fest - and iggy about the pony - but on the plus side you'll get to start Shitland shopping in a couple of years. Maybe one with matching colours to your boy?

I do hope we get some more BESH grads before too long.

I can't believe I'm racing towards the third trimester and that in a week or so Julian will be viable.

iggy I hope to god you've not epilated your bikini line!

PS She (midwife) said I was coming across as really happy, calm, in control and knowledgeable about the whole thing - especially as it's my first. So I just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you whom have shared your knowledge and laughs because it's certainly made it a whole lot easier for me.

PPS Weird physical shit - I'm getting that downy white hair on my bump!

yeay for healthy Julian, and also for furry bumps ski. I have a nice layer of fluff developing across mine too, I will admit now that someone else has No pigmentation changes though. Just a big, white, fluffy bump. Good job I don't show it off chav style, I'd need a fake tan.

lol @ curly - this is true - I'm not planning on wearing a crop top any time soon - not at my age! At least we're fair... not sure I'd want to rival jailbait - or silverback as I call him on my meaner days.

I keep dreaming/worrying/waking up because I think he's going to die. Anyone else having silly irrational fears like this?

rots What would happen if you spent a day eating nothing but tinned pineapple? n.b., ponymum please do not spend the day eating fruit!
