Those hospital folk need shooting. How can they make you wait til then? You need to get the serious arse with someone.

I wish I was hot. I spend every day FREEZING. I am under a duvet on sofa as we type.

Had major meltdown today and started wailing in the car as I felt so sick on way to meeting. Stopped for a sausage and egg macmuffin. Instant miracle. God I feel like such an unhealthy, fat flump. But how the hell am I meant to cope with constant feeling sick? It is making me miserable.

SilverSky · 24/03/2010 21:28

honeypoo tell me about it. Like my hormones are bad enough, the thought of having to wait another three weeks is unbearable.

When I phoned up to say I hadn't heard anything she asked me how far I was and said, we've got another two and a half weeks to get you scanned and then the dumbass books me in for three weeks later as that was the first available date. Is it possible to go on a cancellation list or something?

Also unbearable was having MS and wondering how the fucking hell I am supposed to survive. My answer was to eat. Constantly. Literally. Just eat what you can and what you can keep down.

Try and keep hydrated, I haven't drunk enough the last two days and have been getting lightheaded and shiz. Tho my insatiable thirst is bad first thing in the morning, usually after I get to work, tho that is probably to do with my minor work out of mucking out at a sparrows fart o'clock.

I felt sick as soon as I woke up, to start with when I hit 6 weeks, it was nasty, I felt so ill but was never sick, I know shouldn't complain but when you are at work and people are talking to you and you don't even think you can speak without puking, it aint pleasant. I do think a trip to the quacks is probably not a bad idea.

The hospital CU/MWU 11miles away is looking more attractive.

Oh and BTW I was watching the same preggo show as mentioned earlier and this woman didnt have the um cord snipped til it stopped pulsating. I finks I may go for that, as the doula on the telly was talking about that, and I quite like the idea.

siler I'll have you having a lotus birth yet

cas sorry about the jug. Good job you had cake.

cunty idiot bloke. I would have just eaten mine nice and hot then gone and taken first dibs on the remote.

SilverSky · 24/03/2010 22:25

carrots Am I going to dread asking this? What is a lotus birth?

carrotsarenottheonlyvegetable · 24/03/2010 22:29

silver you must have missed the earlier discussion. It's when you don't cut the cord at all but wait until the cord drops off at the belly button naturally.

Personally I'm going for a compromise of waiting for an hour or so at least, until it's started to dry out and has completely stopped transferring the goodies.

CUNextTuesday · 24/03/2010 22:33

Oh me and stepson wolfed ours, and then watched as his congealed slowly into inedibility

CUNextTuesday · 24/03/2010 22:34

dinner, not umbilical cord

SilverSky · 24/03/2010 22:35

Bloody hell, how long will that take?

I like the idea of waiting til its stopped pulsating and then snipping it. If I could wait an hour I guess I would but how does that impact the actual birth. Baby has to stay in your arms til you deliver the placenta?

Ps why do they never show this on the tv? Where can I find more info on this?

Secondly what's the shiz about Vitamin K injection for the baby when its born? Can you enlighten me?

SilverSky · 24/03/2010 22:36

Tues

CUNextTuesday · 24/03/2010 22:48

Ha, you but that's exactly what carrots has in mind!! She makes casseroles out of placentas!! Plenty good, plenty organic!!

SilverSky · 24/03/2010 22:50

Even so, there are limits!!!!!!!

I'll give it to the dog, there you go, there's my efforts to follow an organic lifestyle!

pandora69 · 24/03/2010 23:11

Cunty hideous image popping into my mind's eye there - thank you for clearing it up straight away!

Yuk thing of the day - big horse had had his willy eaten by flies. he was most cross to be out in the field this afternoon, so I brought him in and saw flies crawling all over his belly. He was getting a wash anyway, as his sale ad is in H&H tomorrow, but honestly! I am going to be asking a 5 figure sum for a horse who currently has suppurating mud fever, a gouge in the back of his knee where he tripped over his own foot, and a swollen fly-eaten willy. He IS a very quality creature, but he seems to be trying his hardest to make himself suddenly less attractive.

SilverSky · 24/03/2010 23:19

Summer Fly Cream is the shiz.

I found the NAF MudGard is also top knotch,we is know mf free!

pandora69 · 24/03/2010 23:38

Ta Silver he has been mf free for years, but I think he has got it just to scare potential buyers who might want to keep him a bit cleaner than I do off. He is not a daft horse!

skihorse · 25/03/2010 08:21

skater LOL @ "Bound copy of the Tory manifesto"

donttry Wonderful, she's absolutely gorgeous! Have you put her down yet?

cunty Wasn't it you who demanded a new bathroom?

silver It was the normal gang and as you say just hi-jinks, everyone's rugs are off, the sun is shining, ALL the mares are in season and trying to get to the "rig". He's not really a rig, he's 8 and had 'em chopped off 2 years ago so thinks he's all that and a bag of chips although he only ever managed to get his mum and his sister diffed so that's nothing to write home about! He belongs to Ginger anyway but he's not shod, nor is the other girl who fancies him like mad - so it wasn't those two! Dozy animals! Btw your hospital are shit.

honeymoo If it's any consolation on friday I had mcdonalds, saturday subway, sunday burger king. My weight remains stable and I gotta keep the ba'bee 'appy innit.

carrots, I'm afraid I'm with silver - I was all for leaving it to pulsate for 10 minutes, but an hour???? gaaaaah.

pandora I thought I'd managed to save you and iggy this week by having my horse hurl itself at the vet but clearly your boy has no intention of going to new owners. Tbh mud fever wouldn't put me off at this time of the year unless it was chestnut sized (k)nobs of scurf & scab. silver What are you planning to do with your nag? Bearing in mind that the minute you find a rider/put it up for sale it'll start a programme of self-harm like a 14 year old emo.

It sounds like you are having the reverse problem to me silver. They flagged up my pregnancy as high risk right away, so I got a consultant appointment at 12 weeks. Two days before it a MW phoned to arrange my booking appointment which was in week 14. As as result, I got very disapproving looks when I turned up to the consultant app with no maternity record ("where's your green book?" snapped at me in Nazi style by receptionist). And there was an "i suppose we;d better do a scan then" attitude that day. It's not my fault they don't communicate!

On the plus side, I then found all the healthcare professionals I dealt with to be lovely and helpful

skihorse · 25/03/2010 08:37

silver, is it worth getting a private scan for peace of mind? Also, have you thought about the consequences of a negative result wrt the NF scan? E.g., I chose not to have the NF scan because I decided that it would not impact the continuation of my pregnancy. But obviously if you'd want to make other arrangements for the pregnancy then you need to sort this out sooner rather than later?

curly How are things today with you and SFF? Has the violence escalated?

OP posts:
CurlyCasperReturns · 25/03/2010 08:48

ski, no flying kitchen implements today! Fingers are bloody sore though. Took one of my plasters off and found a shard of glass inside. Nice. SFF has quite a reputation for breaking dishes, but that was one quite spectacular.

In other news, the cake is delish and glass free.

How's the hoss?

(just read thread and had the same confused/boak reaction to cunty's revelation about hear and stepson eating placenta... )

Dreamt I gave birth again last night. Was all quite nice in so far as baby and I were healthy and baby was actually a baby, as opposed to a dog or inanimate object. BUT there was no room on the labour ward to we did in a morgue

CurlyCasperReturns · 25/03/2010 08:48

hear her

CurlyCasperReturns · 25/03/2010 08:49

arrgghhhh

"so we did it in a morgue"

Cosmosis · 25/03/2010 09:31

Congratulations dontry our very first beshbaby and what a cutie she is!!!!!

iggypiggy · 25/03/2010 09:34

you did it in a morgue cas - romantic

I am back to iggy - was confusing changing - so am staying like this...

pandy v. sorry to hear of horse having fly eaten willy I had a horse with bad sweet itch a few years ago and can highly recommend this cream NETTEX after much trial and error... plus I use home-made fly spray which is fab - but the cream sticks on for longer and is gentle...

silver def go for a private scan if you can afford it - I had one at 7 + 3 when I was first pregnant last year and because of that I had warning of my miscarriage (rather than just starting bleeding) - so for me I think it was v. good. Also - I had one at 7 + 6 this time - and seeing everything ok was an amazing relief...

I have just snorted at cunty's posts from last night... what was the dinner anyway?!

VoilaAnotherGimlet · 25/03/2010 09:35

silver I can't remember where you are based, but I had a private scan, cost £100 and totally worth it for my state/peace of mind at the time. Can tell you where I went (in London) if it helps.

curly good news about the cake - gis'a piece! [Yummy Mummy Emoticon] what recipe did you use? - I love a nice cake.

honey now I require a sausage and egg mcmuffin....

iggypiggy · 25/03/2010 09:39

Oh yes! Congrats to donttry !!!!! V. cute picture too!

Fanks for reminder cosmo and while you are here - have you been reading the hippo book yet??

VAG you are back!!!! I did get knitting needles... I did.

CurlyCasperReturns · 25/03/2010 09:43

vag it was this recipe. Very moist and yummy. Here you go

Be sure not to think about flesh-eaten willies while eating it though
