30s TTC - Butterdish Smashing World Record Attempt

[PollyPoo]

Line up, line up for the world record attempt for most dropped butterdishes per fred.

The bar is here, along with squishy sofas, some fluffy beanbags, low lighting, and most important of all, free booze.

I have installed some naked waiters (Morgan from being human, together with Russell Howard) - they have trays of champagne cocktails that can never run out, so dig in laydeez and lets make this a fred to remember.

AAAARGH! Epic Folic Acid Fail - literally! Ten days ago I started taking a pre-natal multi-vitamin, as recommended, and stopped taking folic acid cos the multivit has slightly higher dosage included. Just read bottle and I'm supposed to take 3 a day - Twatface here has been taking only ONE. Have just necked four Folic Acid tablets in panic Am scared that I will now of course be pg and spend the next 8 months panicking that my foolishness will have created a freakish head-on-a-pillow monster child with no brain (I saw something similar on ER, so it must be possible ). Seriously, I am proper fretting - I am the worst worrier in the world. will the fact that I've been taking it for just over a year mean that there'll be a good build up? And will I actually have done myself even worse by taking 4 tablets? Can someone pretend to be a Dr and reassure me? If not, where did Dr House escape to?

PS Update: no russet gusset as yet but norks are about 18% hurty.

what mg is the folic acid in the tablet? I'm sure you will be fine - there's plenty women out there taking none - as you have been on it for so long.

405 ug per THREE tablets, waaaaah!

(I realise I am an idiot, but... waaaaah!)

200 is the daily requirement, so you have had more than half of that each day. I'm sure you will be fine.

sorry, it is 400 - but you've still had a third of that each day.

It will be totally fine. I didn't start taking it till I could be arsed about 2 weeks after I found I was diffed and there ain't nowt wrong with Rastus. Really it's a recommendation, not a rule - all will be well and all manner of things will be well.

It is in food as well so you could have been getting the recommended amount even if not in tablet form tha noz

Gah, now you're all saying the perfectly reasonable and rational thing that TYF said to me when I wailed about it to him. Seriously though, thanx guys. I shall shurrup and chill out.

In groovier news, lovely Five Element Acupuncture lady just rang me back and I can start seeing her for treatment as of April 13th (lucky for some). Am excited, cos 5E is what they do at the Kite Clinic which has helped so many BESHes win their baybees (someone here won via the Kite clinic, didn't they? I can't remember who, so sorry). So am lucky that the Acupuncturist nearest me and with the best price and the best rates of helping baybeewins practices such a good form of needling. Huzzah!

Hope I will therefore win an ironic diff thus making it unnecessary to see her grin]

About the boobs, Scorpette, have you tried starflower oil? I know you've got lots of allergies and stuff (was that you, several million pages back?) and I know you're also not supposed to take it during 2WW (or whatever the feck you lot call that!). But a few months ago I got really fed up of terrible monthly nork pain and read about it and it's more effective and concentrated than EPO. I started using it and for the past couple of months the pain has been much better, even though still there. More bearable, you know? It hardly seems fair seeing as I hardly have any boobs to speak of but still. You probably have already been there and are in the process of "Duh" as you read.

Re the folic acid. It'll be fine. It's in cereal. It's in veg. And you've clearly been getting some.

Scorps folic acid doesn't hang around and build up in the body but it is in lots of different foods. Also, pregnant women take folic acid to help neural growth and spiney things, neither of which will be growing yet in your lickle baybee. So stop being neurotic, it will be fine. Think of all those people who don't realise they are updiffed for a few weeks, there aren't that many mutants walking around. I think the bigger risk is if you only eat junk food because of the lack of natural nutrients (and folic acid) in it and you must eat the least junk food of everyone in the world.

Right, I'm off to watch one born every minute.

Oooh, exciting from the start!

Um....I don't want to sound horrid and mean but aren't an awful lot of these on this programme unplanned and initially unwanted? Do you think that's an accurate reflection of their intake at the hospital and Southampton and the country as a whole? I swear I'm not a DM reader!

I didn't know about Starflower Oil, Ariefairie, thanks for that

Am feeling horrible in me Wimbledon common. Either the very earliest signs of updiff feel like pre-menstrual meh-ness or it's pre-menstrual meh-ness.

Please can someone else be menkul and waffly now, I'm really boring myself (never mind you poor lot)!

Not a prob Scropulous.

Ariesboy has had enough of OBEM and has switched over to watch a programme about particle physics. I'm not entirely without sympathy, I have to say.

Hom preferred to waste our money chance his arm on the National Lottery mini games, whereupon he failed to duly note delivery room etiquette and instead threw away something in the order of twenty sheets.

That's what I like about him. Absolutely nothing.

I always cry my eyes out to OBEM. I actually shouted 'Come on Abigail!' alongside the midwives!

TYF wins the 'most literal man-fool of the week' award for getting something out of the oven when I asked him to but not actually turning the oven off because I didn't also specify he should do that (thus leaving the oven on needlessly for yonks) 'But you didn't tell me to!' 'Do I actually need to? If the food is out of the oven it should be automatic to turn it off. A grown adult doesn't need to be told that' 'But you didn't tell me to actually turn it off' 'What are you, a retard?' 'No need to insult me - if you wanted it turning off you should've explained what you wanted properly' 'Yeah, you try that line on British Gas when the electricity bill arrives' .

I love him so much but I cannot believe a man with a top degree (not an Aspergers-tastic science one either) from a Russell Group uni cannot turn the oven off, shut the fridge/freezer door or turn taps off. I have to follow him round turning things off or shutting them, etc., and EVERY morning, after temping and having a wee, the first thing I do is go to the kitchen sink to turn the bastard tap off. Every. Single. Morning. FFS!

You need to ensure this behaviour is 'unlearned'. In the same manner as you would train an animal, associate the leaving of thing on with some sharp an unpleasant pain, e.g. a kick in the gonads. Order will be restored within a few hours.

That conversation sounds very much like ones that happen in our house..... Is TYF blind to things that need putting away because he's just used them/washing up/cleaning as well? Or are those specific to TH?

I've been less menkul today which is good, have decided that I'm clearly not updiffed on no real basis other than I'd rather convince myself of that and be wrong than the other way round. So maybe I am still menkul......

No, to be fair, Occy, he's very good at putting things away and is actually a lot tidier than me and does a bit more housework but he is also incapable of putting things in the bin and it took me months to get him to accept that when he arrives home with bike oil all over his hands (and sometimes face!) he really does need to wash his hands. Same goes for after handling raw meat. But if you remember the MIL-hygiene saga at Xmas, this is understandable. He is wonderful in every other way and the first thing he does after washing those hands when he gets home is to cuddle and kiss me and tell me how wonderful I am for at least 10 mins. Stop pretending to vomit, you lot!

Oh, you're not pretending... ?

Cunty, I like your style. We Northern lasses know how to get things sorted, huh

Morning folks. I get to have more blood tests today, what fun. Here's hoping for another steep drop in my beta HCG.

Good luck Muser, I hope you get good news. And don't have to sit in a waiting room for ages with small newborns.

Scorps what news of gussetwatch and buzzwamcam? Could we get some kind of webcam live update going on?
