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!

Thanks for the reminder rots. I know our sales were coming up but it had completely slipped my mind - one this weekend and another the next. Best get my membership sorted now so I can get in early...

(Dreams of the days when pandora used to have sex . Although OH can keep his hands right off me atm!)

Ski, have you seen the maxi dress Jojomamanbebe have in? It is a bit pricey, but it seems to come with a free horse!

I have pinched loads of maternity clothes off my sister and friends, plus some I saved from last time. So I can justify a splurge when I get a bit fatter - which may not be in the too distant future. Nothing fits at the moment, and this morning my friend called over the garden gate at me (she was sitting on her horse or she would have obviously come in,) and I was out of breathe just jogging the 50 yards to go and chat with her! Pathetic.

Thanks for the chicken-y sympathy laydeez. I am looking to re-home them, as I cannot spend all my time watching to see what devious ways of plotting to kill each other they are coming up with next.

Far more excited about sales than sex

poor ski! Thats awful. The sick, fart, wee - not the sex!

I said to husband this morning as I was about to head off that I was really struggling with the constipation. He, the little oik, cuddled me and patted me on the back in a "i am pretending to care but its TMI and I am not yet awake". Sort of like a granny saying there there .

pan soz about the chicks. I love animals but they do turn us into stress heads worrying about them all the time.

I am getting fatter. My troos which were bit big are now getting bit snug. Going to have to be inventive with work outfits at this rate!

pandora With approaching parity 39 is very reasonable although that 'orse is a bit small for me... perhaps suitable for Julian? I am almost permanently out of breath. I live in the flattest country on earth and yet its hills still leave me griping for oxygen.

silver I have not have constipation woes thank goodness. I put this down to all the bloody fruit & veg I've been eating plus pumpernickle bread rather than "normal" bread. How far are you now?

rots Go grab your man - you know you love him really! I'm not 100% convinced kegels would've saved me - I mean I don't normally wee myself... and I didn't wee myself at the beginning when I was puking, but I suppose by now Julian can really squish my bladder and with the whole inner tubings contracting it's just not going to happen.

curly Tssssk! You need a healthy combination of sex & shopping! I think there are some hip/bump friendly positions for you to try especially as your man is all muscle.

There was a lovely article I was reading last night about home births, a lady was saying she gave birth about 1am, the three (plus midwife) stayed up until 6 drinking champagne and ordering in pizza then they fell asleep. Naturally I cried. I can't wait to have my little person at home - I've also realised another bonus - it's going to be really hard for us to go home with the wrong baybee... (another NHS nightmare )

skates you could have tried Top Shop maternity section at Ox Circ? Or mama's & papas - which is on regent street - but right near ox circ bit... dat is wot i did

I haz much violence ski usually when I try to go to sleep... haz seen movement as well as felt it!

I have scan tomorrow morning.

No sex please, I appear to have a sharp knife permanently embedded in my pubic bone. I have gone downhill horribly and still have three months to go. I should be celebrating today on reaching the third trimester, but instead I want to weep over how much longer I have to survive this crap. I don't like being pregnant.

Yes, in case you hadn't noticed, today is Moany Monday. Soz. Can someone please tell a joke to cheer me up? (And by joke, I don't mean 'NHS maternity services'.)

Pony Are you going to have to get a chair soon do you think? Your poor thing, here, have a slice of Battenburg and a coffee - you can even stroke my life-like Johnny Depp doll if you like.

I'm so sorry things are getting worse. Are they actually giving you any physio, or just the belt and painkillers approach? Congrats on your third tri anyway - it's all a step closer to the pain going away. Wish I could say/do more to help.

I want to see my baby move

Excited for you for tomorrow iggy

ski is anomaly scan - will be 22 weeks excatly tomorrow.

poor pone here is joke:

Why is a wonderbra like a border collie?

Because it rounds them up and points them in the right direction.

Thanks ski. But don't you find Captain Jack a little, erm, dirty? (But then we know how you like a bit of rough to excite the blue blood.)

casp I am having regular physio checks but as of 10 days ago everything was still in alignment, just drifting apart. She hasn't done hands-on realignment as it's not been needed, but checks all the joints and goes through the current exercises.

I'll now have to use the chair for any outings, which means I can't go out on my own if it involves more than about 10 metres walk. Crap.

iggs Thanks for joke!

pony I didn't think you were in any sort of frame of mind to want him washed and sent to your room! If you want him a little more Cry Baby, I can arrange that too.

How is your SPD going curly?

I'm afraid I'm going to steal Cossie's thunder somewhat, but this site www.funmum.com/ has to be shared asap with all laptop shoppers. They've got some gorgeous stuff and especially for me and switty there's a 20% offer! Yay! Please ignore my earlier ramblings about not wanting to spend too much on pregnancy clothes... this was before I saw the gorgeous stuff on this site and was blinded by a 20% off sign.

iggy what did you do to your little person to make it jump around like it just don't care?

ski nothing - is most violent when I am trying to sleep... Although I think it may have been squashed yesterday cos I did a 3.5hr car drive alone and I got violently booted halfway through and had to find service station in hurry - think it may have kicked bladder...

Although, like you, orgasms do set it off..

My little darling really likes to give mummy's bladder a boot when I'm already desperate. And squashing her will do it too. If I lean forward or try to lie on my front (yeah, like that's going to happen now) she finds a way round the placenta to make sure I know she's not happy. She does seem to be wiggly for about a quarter of the day now.

ski It's going ok thanks. I learned pony's lesson about pushing heavy shopping trolleys the hard way last week and ended up with an evening of pain. And now I really have to be careful of how I sit. Mine seems to be a Pelvic Girdle Pain (umbrella term) rather than SPD, because most of my problems are across my lower back and the top of my hip joints, rather tham in the pubis symphysis itself (front pube bone). Although some days I have sharp pain through my foof - a big contributer to my current attitude towards sex.

cunty was suffering too. How you doing, BESH mate?

pone That's shit. sorry, I know that won't cheer you up. You'd think they'd have found solutions to the problem by now. Here's hoping the final weeks of your pregnancy somehow fly by, so you can have your wee boy in your arms and be pain free asap.

p.s. I am so rubbish with jokes. FAIL

carrots I just did a little reading about the third stage over my sandwiches (mmm nice) and from first impressions I think my preference would be have it managed - less risk of bleeding and over quickly without even more pushing sounds better to me. Although I will be asking which injection they use at my local unit, and hoping that it's the one less likely to cause headache/nausea. I'd rather get it all done with so I can concentrate on my baby. Or perhaps on eating first

if you put in funmumnew you get a discount too (I just google discound codes before I buy anything online these days).

I haz bought the black & white tunic in the partywear section.

you can thank TGO, he found the site - as well as bringing me home a load of Gap mat clothes from the sale the other day. He's a good 'un

Nice bloke Coz

casp my concern is potential increased risk of retained placenta - some reading says there is, others not, and out of hospital that's bad (as is bleeding )

Also don't want cord cut for a while and I am not sure whether it is cut quickly with the injection. I need to find out.

I'm a bit confused about it because on the one hand I feel that really, we do work better than this than to actually need intervention as a matter of course, but on the other hand the evidence I've read is confusing and contradictory.

pony really, really sorry to hear about how bad it is Did things get better quickly when little lassie was born?

brief stop in to say ello ello all

work a bit chaotic today so nae time for much chat - boooooo

hope everyone's ok - pone/caspa- everyone with pain- that's miserable. massive sympathy from me.

loving the mat wear link ski is brill

iggs good luck w scan tomorrow

had brill day at rugby on sat - probably best poss result to avoid major conflict

bugger bugger bugger buggering work

sal that's what i thought re the rugby - SFF and I went on to have a lovely evening together instead of one of us being in a bad mood. Mind you, a Murrayfield win and getting the Cup back would have been nice [wonk]

carrots - I see what you mean ref it being a worry when not in hospital (as I will be).
You could plan to go natural, then have the injection if the placenta hasn't budget after a certain amount of time. This should be something you can agree in advance with your MW. By all accounts the biggest downside to natural is more bleeding overall, but if you can handle that, why not?
i think I would be thinking about it very differently if having a home birth.

of your bloke finding you maternity clothes cos. I wish.

[wonk] WTF????

ski I am now 9wks, 10 on Thursday.

Its like being 17, ie when asked your age instead of saying oh 17, you inform them of how close to 18 you are!

Sunny and warm here today, so equine out in a mw with on neck. Bliss! Horse is fully clipped otherwise would be out starkers!
