Silver I am with you. Started out a not small 34E and now grown out of the new Anita unwired mat bras in 38G (think they come up small tho) and back in Hotmilk motherfuckers which basically mean I can't wear anything thats cool at the moment. Am so fed up. Feel gross.

How many sets of bras did other people go through? At 5-6 months am I likely to stay in these til the end and then need even bigger for BF?

go rots! You'll have quite a lengthy and varied birth story then... "and finally, after weeks of tryinb to expel and protect, mummy sneezed you out into a lavender bath, then ran off with the dishy doctor."

I too did bra shopping today. Was feeling all proud of my B to DD leap till I saw the sizes above.

We also got a baby gym - madam screamed until we took her away from it; car sun shades and a pram parasol. Just watch the sun go now...

Oh and we had a pub lunch, with lots of ladies stopping to admire our pretty little girl [beams with pride].
She slept througn it all: cue over hungry, too alert baby. Bad Move

wow, rots that's brilliant. I take back what I said about you not bumping yourself up the list.

I am covered in Lansinoh. This is not funny.

That stuff bloody well stains, too, cunty. One of my vest/t-shirts now has permanent nipple rings from when I used it sans bra in hospital. Nice. (clearly that was before proper milk came in, because now I dribble milk 24/7 like a dodgy tap. Keep getting wet toes after my showers )

I'm guessing your wee fella has a good appetite? If it helps, my ravaged right nip has healed already and thanks to the Lansinoh and better latching, it remains damage free. Hope he gives you a chance to heal.

Still channelling happy birth thoughts to rots, even though it might be weeks away.

Hola Chicas! Runs in with a crate of sangria for celebratory purposes. Fuck me, I go away for a week or so and three baybeeees are laid!! Well done Curls Cunts and Ski. I am v impressed with the labour updates from Curls and the double hard no drucks for either Curls and Cunty. Ski hope you are on the mend and will be out soon! It is such fab news all round. Have spent the last 2 hrs catching up and have yet to check out fb - that'll have to wait until tomorrow as need to get my arse to bed. Rots you sound well in control of the situation!

Great news on the recent diffments in the Besh palais too! Hope to see you all around here more often. Muser best of luck for Monday!

Skater very jealous of your glasto frivolities. The lasst festival I made it to was in 2007 pre pregnancy #1 and a lot less care free. Hope you had a great time.

Just noticed an error on the not-list. cunty, it appears, has just been born...

i only got re-measured as a C or a D cup.

i think i'm going to demand a recount

mucho sympathy with all the nip problems. stick with it though. it does get better.

cunty have you tried getting him on with an asymmetric latch? made all the difference when my little one wouldn't open her mouth wide enough.

rather than just trying to shove a handful of boob into their gob, you hold your nipple at their nose level and then when they open their mouth a little bit, you roll it in catching their botton lip on the way in so it splays out properly.

worked a treat for me. well either that or the constant battering has now rendered them numb

rots Tuesday is a young to have her first born non!?

FellowBigMommaJugs I just hope mine don't get much bigger. I think Bravissimo go up to a K cup. I bloody better not get anywhere near that sizeage. On the plus side I got a black and a White bra in a pack and also it's a nursing type one ( not that it will fit then ) an already comedy boobs look less hideous in clothes. You got more chance of escaping from Alcatraz than my boobs have from this monster contraption. Nuff said on the topic. Til the next bra shopping saga no doubt.

Indeed best of luck and happy times to the brand new early days PESHs. Have everything xd for ya.

Might be purchasing the pram tmw.

I have spent the whole day out of the house to escape the pressure of a weekend wait. Would be roundly chastised by the pregnancy Nazis for having a glass of wine AND a soft icecream. Yum. Worked out that if it's always you pouring the glasses of wine you can sneakily not top yourself up. Thereby easily sticking to my one small glass limit.

And please spare a thought for gin and salty who have had some scary spotting. May they have wombs of Velcro.

muser most of the PESHs have had some early day spotting and all was fine. Their medical professionals classing it as implantation - indeed the BOC velcroing itself to it's rightful home.

Very sneaky on the vino front. Top score.

Last night we went out for dinner and I had this mega banana and toffee dessert and it had nuts in the icecream which was just dreamy!!!! In fact I think I came home and dreamt about eating three more!!

Poor things, hope all is well with the beshes.

Okie glad you are back... how was your holididdles? Hope you are feeling fine.

I am a worried doggy mummy this morning. Little hairy moo got a grass seed in his ear yesterday evening. Not happy at all. Unsurprisingly. Cue rush visit to emergency vet in Victoria who managed to have a look and luckily agreed to sedate him there and then to remove. However he ended up with a perforated ear drum and is really not himself at all. Very clingy and keeps trying to itch his ear still. Poor baby is cuddling on my lap as i type.

SilverSky I know bleeding can be nothing, but it can also be something. And when you've had losses in the past like our lovely two then it's pretty damn scary, even though you know it might be nothing.

muse wasn't trying to be insensitive or make light of the bleeding. Was attempting, and it seems very very badly, to try and offer positivitity. Tis all. Apols if I unintentionally offended.

honey did the vet manage to do more damage whilst getting said nasty out of pooch's lug 'ole?

All PESHy stickiness to gin and salty. Thinking of you both, my lovelies. As sliver said, we have seen a lot of it on this thread, and by far it has turned out to be positive rather than negative. That's what gives us such positive hopes that you will both see this through. We all know what a horrible time those first weeks are. We'll have you as fully fledged loony PESHes yet.

cheggs I've been trying that a bit. Don't you end up with nipple up nostril?

I am finding my nipps start to gush as soon as he starts crying. Yesterday I had to get out of the shower in a hurry to tend to him, didn't have time to pull on a bra, and by the time I'd changed his nappy I had milk streaming in rivers down my legs on to the floor! Bodies are weird.

Morning all.

I've updated the list to add a boy for Cunty and also to remove DD's name. getting paranoid now as no-one else added names (wot a sensible bunch!)

Please don't keep saying that chaps. I know you are being positive etc, but I am already one of the people that early bleeding didn't turn out fine for (and indeed also someone who a nice normal pregancy with full proper symptoms,no bleeding etc didn't turn out fine for.)

I already know the stories of most of the peshies from last time my pg went wrong. And I really don't mean to be ungrateful for reassurance, but after repeat mcs is simply won't work. Sorry.

Can I just have some good hippy vibes and hopes and shiz instead?

And obviously the fact that I am higher risk for ectopic after last time doesn't help either

don't get me wrong, I absolutely want you to be right, but with my track record since my first (successful) pregnancy, and my own experience of bleeding, I am somewhat difficult to reassure

gingin I really want this to be ok for you this time, but do fully u derstand the not wanted the 'it will be ok comments' cos I was told my bleeding was ok cos it was brown and it wasn't ok. I didn't want people to not acknowledge my real and justified fears with 'don't worry' shiz. Not saying that is what anyone meant.... You can have some hippy positive thoughts and a massive snog from me... And possibly also some gin

I hope
you ok rots ? sounds like you were proper hardcore with the doc.. Liking it!

Hope all the new babies are doing well and also much lucks for muse for the scan.

I am a whale, but a happy whale... And no sign of anything yet, but as have more than 2 weeks till due date, am not expecting anything!

gin - good on you for speaking up for yourself on this point. Every one wants to say the right thing, including me. But I know there aren't many "right" words given what you have been through already. So, with actions speaking louder and all that, I have made you a Red Cross parcel containing:

• 2 self-replenishing bottles of "gets you sozzled without so much as tickling a growing BOC" Palais Gin

*one dozen giant doughnuts

*four male playthings of your chosing (their form will adapt to suit your desires - whether for work or play. I suggest getting them to do the dishes and make dinner while you have some fun time with BoyGin)

*two rolled fifties and some Class A Telfon-free Babydust.

*a freshly baked "sticky thoughts" cake

*and a big fat bong of baybee-ness

I am also pleading with the sun, moon, stars and baybee Jebus that this little one is tha real shiz, and we will all be nekkid jiggling on your honour early in 2011.
The same goes for all the other BESHs stuck in post BFP limbo. Smooches all round.

Not wanting to make light of anything. Just want to share the love. (I'll leave iggy to the bumsex though )

And yes, ginhag we do still recognise your status as a Double Hard Bastard

Question: I know it's been asked before, but would it be helpful if the new baby tales moved to a postnatal thread? Would that make the deli more comfy and welcoming for early PG menkulling? The doors between BESH, PESH and FESH, would remain open, of course, so readers can chose their own adventure content, and avoid ought that might upset them without having to tune out altogether. Your thoughts please, all?

rots would be nice to hear how things are going. It's a bit windy today for any action in the lavender field...

anyone why is my husband the one who is completely knacked and falling asleep at all hours of the day? He slept from midnight to 7.30am last night, but is a complete mess. Just sent him back to bed. Does this not sound a little backwards?
Maybe he's mentally tired after worrying about me and the girl? I have no other theories. Bizarre.

muse, gin, please take it a bit easier with fanny, silver, anyone else who has tried to be supportive/positive but said something you weren't comfortable with. Obviously you have more experience of this than most of us, and believe me, we are all very much with you on praying that your pregnancies are good and sticky, but someone trying to offer support even if it doesn't work for you is surely better than not caring - or daring - to say anything at all?

We all know how hard this period is and I can't begin to imagine how much harder it is for you who have been through so much horrific trauma in the past. But this is a supportive forum, and I wouldn't want people to stop trying to be supportive.

Going on to cas's suggestion that baby stories move to another forum, personally my vote, and it's only one vote, is that so many of us have spent the past 6-7 months + waiting for our babies that I want to make it as easy as possible to hear more about them, and to stay in one unfractured group to do that. If this is no longer the forum for it, that's fine, but I think that would be tough on those who aren't due for quite some time. Furthermore I don't want to be away from those girls, "just because" they're a few weeks back from some of the rest of us.

Give it a couple of weeks and those going through the first weeks of hell will be settling into a positive and healthy pregnancy, and be able to enjoy their pregnancies and share the ups and downs here, as we have all been doing for so long.

We've had such a good time on here. Let's not let it break up now.

xxxxxx

casp must be the enormity of it all taking it out of him I guess you may as well let him sleep until he regains usefulness?!

I have just made a 'baby changing area' in the spare room... Is about as close I have come to a nursery, but as house move is iminent, doesn't seem worth chaning the while room... Anyway, am quite pleased with our efforts..

Quick update on me - seems we are def going for IV antis in labour but I am trying to work out if I can get these at home. Hopefully will find out in time. Alternatively birth centre. Prob neither but we are working on it.

In a lot of pain from baby not being cushioned by waters and a bit stressed and fed up today, but carrying on regardless.

Would have liked to have spent these last weeks with my feet up and chilling out. Sadly life doesn't always go to plan and on a clearly uber positive note, no sign of infection and while baby is causing me great discomfort it is only coz he's healthy and moving around a lot so I'm focusing on that.
