I remember it well-trying to hold all the boob away from DS's nose so he could feed and breathe. Blush

Grin i think DH might quite like the look of that! Grin

I feel like i'm having a women's period.
I keep expecting to go to the toilet and have knickers full of blood.
very strange sensation.

Knickers full of baby perhaps? Grin

CuriosityCola · 06/12/2011 18:59

Nickel, mine went bigger for a couple of days when the milk came in. Back to an 'a' cup, but plenty of milk. Was hoping to have gigantic norks for a while Grin

youtalkintome · 06/12/2011 18:59

nickel you ate going to be so busy posting you'll end up with a baby in you're knickers Grin

youtalkintome · 06/12/2011 19:00

Ha x posts an are not ate

ChippingInNeedsSleep · 06/12/2011 19:02

nickle - don't worry about your boobs!! If they stay small you wont get saggy baps :)

I quite like ChippingInAPearTree ... any other suggestions?

It's really hard when you meet/know someone who's pregnant and due though isn't it - no matter what you say it's wrong, but on the other hand it just feels far too rude to ignore the fact that they're clearly due - so you make a comment and still piss them off...

'a women's period'?

is there any other kind?

i mean, when DH gets grumpy i ask if he's having a 'man period', yet tis but in jest...

nickelbabe · 06/12/2011 19:06

i was quoting that woman Rimmer from Red Dwarf.

nickelbabe · 06/12/2011 19:07

pretend you haven't even noticed.

it wasn't the woman Rimmer, it was when Rimmer became Christine Kochanski for Lister. (took her hologram disc)

Oh come on Nickel. I've been away for a couple of days - the least you could have done was produce a baby for my return!

Grin
EdlessAllenPoe · 06/12/2011 19:11

things you can say that don't piss off a pregnant past 40-weeks woman.....

:you look nice (actually, annoying.)

:would you like a cup of tea? (according to DH, the only non-annoying thing)

:here is a winning lottery ticket?

SantasNutellaFairy · 06/12/2011 19:12

Nickel- I have been lurking. You sound really fed up, but is it possible that the feeling you're having are your plug coming away?

EdlessAllenPoe · 06/12/2011 19:12

ah, yes. Red Dwarf...

i remember screaming my way through the 'lager kills vindaloo' moments...

Flisspaps · 06/12/2011 19:23

Isbn wants to get a wriggle on. This thread is already 10% full and it's only been going a couple of hours.

Perhaps he's going for the longest labour thread(s) in history Grin

chipping anyone mentioning anything to do with me still being pregnant by 42 weeks was very nearly punched crossed off my Christmas card list - ignoring my non-shifting bump was the kindest thing people could have done for me!

thanksamillion · 06/12/2011 19:43

Just checking in nickel. Not sure what else to say that won't antagonise Grin

pixiestix · 06/12/2011 19:52

Hello again Nickel. You look lovely, would you like a cup of tea? Wink

Sparklingbaubles · 06/12/2011 19:53

Your bump is looking very low. Jaffa Cake? Smile

youtalkintome · 06/12/2011 19:56

Now you see if you distract me with a Jaffa cake you can say whatever you like to me, all I'll here is Jaffa cake.

youtalkintome · 06/12/2011 19:57

*Hear, oh fuck my fucking brain.

nickelbabe · 06/12/2011 20:04

yes, the latter two in your ideas Edgar are perfect.
In fact, my friend came into the shop yesterday and that was the first thing she did :)

I worked out today, as well, that instead of saying "it's fucking 10 days over and i want to punch you for asking 10 days ago Grin " if i said "any day now! Grin", i got less of the twattish comments in reply.
In fact, whenever I said "any day now! Grin " today, the response has been "oh, well, lovely, good luck Grin" instead of "my mary and her baby and the next door but one neighbour and this random woman i knew 30 years ago had their babies 10/14/356 days after the date"
it was soooooo much nicer!

Nutella - if it means that the baby comes in the next few hours, then that would be fine! Grin

I really really do feel periody
it's not pleasant.
I hope it's a sign of movement - 1124 posts talkign about hte fact that one day i might possibly give birth must be boring for everyone Blush

Oh Nickel You spent months telling us to tell ISBN to be 2 weeks late, so that you can keep the shop open as long as poss pre-christmas. You can't really be complaining that it worked can you?

Anyway, you can't complain til you're 40+13 (cause then you'll be equal to when DD FINALLY decided to show up. And the daft MW wanted to induce me at 40+9 ).

Have a ham and mustard sandwich. Followed by champagne, pate and some brie.
