purdey that cakes looks delicious!
Birth stories shudder I'll go for an epi and all the drugs they've got thanks!

DH says we're starting the shagathon tomorrow CD7. Uhuh, yup, let's see if he's still keen on CD20. Haha

Sparkly123 · 12/03/2015 12:43

Mrsb that's an early start!! Good luck lovely!Flowers

mrsb0710 · 12/03/2015 12:46

Haha sparkly he's been off work all week, so I think he's just randy. Confused men.

DizzyMerry · 12/03/2015 12:51

Shock Kissing thought my 8lb was bad, ouchie!

Nomio230 · 12/03/2015 12:58

Dizzy, I am sorry to hear DH is being an arse. Hopefully he will come home later with flowers and an apology.

Purds, that cake looks great. Save me a slice!

I made orange and cranberry bagels last night & ended up eating two straight away. Blush

Sparkly, you are definitely preggers. The relaxed feeling is clearly due to your subconscious knowing that you are pregnant, so not stressing about it. Grin

I find it quite reassuring that even though some of you had terrible births, you are all trying to go through it again. It just shows that the benefits must massively outweigh the costs. My sister had a 24 hour labour with her first, had to have stitches which then got infected & swore she would never do it again, yet has ended up with two more!

Nomio230 · 12/03/2015 13:00

I am going to ask for all the drugs they have, then sneak a few Co-Codamol too. I don't get this whole pious thing about how giving birth naturally means you must love your baby more. No, it just means that you are crazy!

DizzyMerry · 12/03/2015 13:04

That's the way to go nomio. I was open to all sorts of pain relief as I did know it would be painful, only I didn't think it would be that bad! The epidural was amazing and I wish I'd had it earlier on but the consultants were in surgery so midwife had to wait for them to check me over first. I'll be asking for one again

Oysterbabe · 12/03/2015 13:14

I'm CD13 and FF reckons I ovulated on CD10. I don't buy that at all, my cm was still a little brown following AF at that stage and it just seems too early. My temp has been gradually rising but is still only 36.20. I'll see what happens over the next few days. I have lots of cm today and my cervix is at its highest position - I can't feel it at all - so I think it's imminent rather than past. Either way I'm going to try and DTD the minute I get home from work.
Do people try and make a bit of an effort to get their partner in the mood or is it cool to just wander in and demand they crack on?

nightandthelight · 12/03/2015 13:23

I tried to make an effort on a couple of the days of the dtdathon oyster, sexy lingerie etc. The other days were too busy though so was much more business like. Good luck!

Nomio230 · 12/03/2015 13:25

We do a mixture. Some days just have a quickie to get the fellas up there, and other times I will do the whole seduction thing. I think it partly depends how long you have been trying.

HeirToTheIronThrone · 12/03/2015 13:26

I am impressed Night with your lingerie efforts - I just sidle up and stick a hand down DH's pants...

nightandthelight · 12/03/2015 13:32

Sexy heir!

I don't think that DH would have performed if I hadn't put the effort in, he has been looking forward to me having to put effort into seducing him and so was playing hard to get Grin

victoria401 · 12/03/2015 13:33

Haha! heir that's what I do too! Dh never initiates, except when he's had a beer! I don't own sexy undies coz dh just isn't into anything sexy or slightly fetish-y. My ex was into all sorts of things but its so hard to turn dh on. Sigh. He just has zero drive.

victoria401 · 12/03/2015 13:37

Tried to seduce him the other week, was on my way round to nibbling his earlobes when he says "were you just sniffing my face" then we got into an argument about whether or not I sniffed his face! Ffs! This is why we missed ov this month...

Oysterbabe · 12/03/2015 13:37

Mine does appreciate some lacy knickers so maybe I'll don some later rather than just lie back and demand to be impregnated, he's not a piece of meat after all Wink

Oysterbabe · 12/03/2015 13:38

Lol Victoria!

Sparkly123 · 12/03/2015 13:58

This is where I'm glad of the AI and dtd seperation.. It must be hard. You lot do a good job!!

Nomio your poor sister. Ouch. Can't believe she did it all again twice!! Thanks for the confidence.. I'm trying to be calm, but it's really hard! Frustrating how you can't fully control those emotions...!!! How are you?

kissinggiraffe · 12/03/2015 13:59

Sorry if my giant baby post made any nauseous I'll ask to have it removed if it offends.......probably not the most sensitive post I've ever made.
If it makes it any better that doesn't happen very often and it can't have been that bad or I wouldn't want to do it again. (She's also not a giant anymore. A dinky 22 lb at nearly 2 years! !)

Sparkly123 · 12/03/2015 14:03

Kissing I wasn't at all offended of nauseated . It's good to hear others stories!.. And it just shows- after what you went through, you are up for it again (hopefully less traumatic this time though...!) and that's the main thing!

juneybean · 12/03/2015 14:04

kissing having watched every birth programme since I was 15 I'm all too aware what can happen in birth you didn't offend me Wink

DizzyNorthernBird · 12/03/2015 14:04

We have no frills 'baby making' sex. I tell him it's time. He either obliges or makes his excuses when he can't be arsed. For the three cycles we've been trying we've only managed it 2/3 times during fertile window. Sexy sex is for other times of the month. I do envy you lot who seem to get it on tap for a week beforehand. Although if truth be told I couldnt be bothered dtd every day or much more than we're managing it! I'd like a fourth shag but that would be me done.

DP has thawed slightly. Been texting, says he loves me. Should be back to normal this evening!

purdey, cake looks lush!

Sparkly123 · 12/03/2015 14:05

I might attempt a cake Tomor. It's my brothers bday on sat.. Think it will need to be chocolate! He loves a chocolate orange so I wonder whether I could use that in there Cake Cake Cake

Sparkly123 · 12/03/2015 14:05

Dizzy glad the thawing process is in action! Wink
