Whats all this shite about Alpha and Beta. A loada bollix. I just know all of our OHs are fabulous as otherwise they couldn't put up with delight in our company.

My fella looks like Keanu (ok only I can see it) and is definitely his own man. Sometimes there is a bit of a culture clash (me being from the Land Tact Forgot). Didn't notice the middle classes are more polite in UK, what like are the rest of people ill-bred yobbos or something? Think everyone in general is polite compared to where I come from. I likeee.

I fecking love England.

Couldn't tell you if Alpha or Beta - who the hell fits in those boxes. Where would us bunch fit in?

That thread just reminded me of the Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman twats deserting their families. At least they were working. I'm all for pople having freedom, but within limits.

Do you think sperm (god. we need a better word) egg / fanjo get Performance Anxiety thats why up diff-ness is not forth coming?

BTW got an e-mail from friend today admiring another friend who didn't put on weight in pregnancy. wanted to yell who gives a fuck, but restrained myself as have been really going off this person recently anyway and best to just withdraw gracefully from friendship....

NeedChoos · 04/08/2009 15:50

How the fuck do you not put on weight?? surely the baby must weigh something and the gubbins thats goes with it must also weigh something plus there must be other bodily changes that cause your weight to change??

It is quite clear from that last sentence I know NOTHING about this process....

Hang on I can puit on half a stone with the RTOD....

Yeah, I only have to spend 5 seconds on any relationship thread to be astounded at what some people will put up with. I can't imagine putting up with some of that shit for a second, but know I have managed to get super lucky on that front... Having said that they probably can all get knocked up at the drop of a hat so we all need something to obsess over eh?

Have spent the afternoon googling faint preg tests that don't get darker, ectopic pregnancies (found a couple of sites that mentioned a faint test result that didn't get darker that turned out to be ectopic), missed miscarriages (it's not getting darker => it mustn't have survived), and no end of other related shit. As much as I love the internet sometimes it drives me crazy that it allows you to find someone else's completely unscientific opinion - which could easily be that of a 14 year old - and decide it must apply to you. Tomorrow I WILL go to the doctor and get a proper medical opinion... (I did ring today but couldn't get any sense out of the fella on the other end) Which is partly and answer to your question ski - there are lots of yummy foods I miss but the mind numbing bureaucracy, inability to get anything done, ingrained corruption and general ineffectiveness of pretty much everything, is what will eventually send me screaming for home....

skihorse · 04/08/2009 15:59

needchoos well if the baby weights 7lbs and all the shit&gunk weighs another 14lbs - then to only put on 8lbs during pregnancy with a big tummy & big waps then something's got to give. Maybe they're amputating their feet?

I'm now really angry with motorbike_girl and all her "oh but I loooooove 'im" - I hadn't realised she was 40 - that's the kind of crap you hear in your 20s. "eee always sez sorry after eees 'it me"

Cosmosis · 04/08/2009 16:02

longwee step away from google now!

NeedChoos · 04/08/2009 16:06

psml @ amputating feet. I think their heads are just empty.

NeedChoos · 04/08/2009 16:17

You can miss a miscarriage? Fuck....

Tis not easy as it looks this baby lark?? How do stupid Vicky Pollard types do it so easily?

I must get a book or something....have been quite scared to gen up on TTC as it highlights all the disasters that await plus there is NO WAY I want to know too much about the giving birth bit as it freaks my tiny mind out that a HEAD can come OUT of my FANJO!

ginhag · 04/08/2009 16:19

stoppit you.google is very very bad for your mental health under these circumstances.bet you have also totally ignored all the 'i had this,it was fine' stories.

Chin up til u see the doc mate

Lyra thanks,you're luvverly.

scorp yeah a 'tone of voice' button would be handy eh?glad we cleared it up anyway..I am very tired and emotional today which makes me v oversensitive.one of the things mr gin is good at dealing with!

ski jailbait is obviously lovely too.

As for mr gin,he will get out of work late as usual,run a couple of miles home in the pissing rain,get home in time to play with the boy,bath him,clean his teeth and read a bedtime story,and then go and cook my tea while I settle mani to sleep.so a thorough alpha/beta combo I guess.

I would say that what we all have with our fellas is equality and however that plays out in each relationship just suits the personalities of those involved!!!

As for weight in pg,I put on about 3 stone.and not much of that was mani.I did lose it fucking fast but that was not intentional,I actually ended up hideously skinny but have fixed that now

SkaterGrrrrl · 04/08/2009 16:25

Never google your symptoms! It doesnt matter if you have hayfever, t'interweb will diagnose cancer. True fact!

donttrythisathome · 04/08/2009 16:27

longwee or just crap POASs or wee-fails? Step away and put your faith in the doctor. They'll sort ya out.

Seriously wee try not to google.it won't change a thing,you won't 'know' any more,you'll just be scared shitless.

SkaterGrrrrl · 04/08/2009 16:42

You can do it! You and MrVAG can make a baby and really love it and look after in nicely and everything! Here, have some gin.

VeryAngryGusset · 04/08/2009 17:03

Ooh gin!

Cosmosis · 04/08/2009 17:05

Champagne all round from me

donttrythisathome · 04/08/2009 17:09

Get out from under my bed you two. If I have to tell you again there'll be trouble...

VeryAngryGusset · 04/08/2009 17:12

Hey, isn't that George Clooney standing over there in his pants?

LESBIANS UNDER THE BED EATING BUTTONS!

SkaterGrrrrl · 04/08/2009 17:16

You can do motherhood! You'll be FINE! You're an intelligent adult woman who hides under beds and you can cope with being a parent.

Plus you have all of us to support you. And look how capable and mature we are! Pass the bottle, I fancy a funnel.

cheggers · 04/08/2009 17:24
