Afternoon all. bigmac. I considered a Memory foam mattress topper, but decided ours is so old and cheap that we really should have a new one and in fact are off to M&S to try some out tonight

do you think of we all chant, owlet will make an appearance??

MW apt yesterday. Rubbish! 25wks and she didn't measure my fundal height?!!! No mention of size or position if pup either. Back in 2 wks though as still some traces of protein on my urine. Told me to take some cream for thrush.... Which she didn't prescribe either so had to pay £12 for and I don't even think I have thrush!!

Yay harassed for week off. I'm off for a week from after Thursday, but also off Tuesday next week too!! Yay!!

Thinking sticky thoughts for dachs

harassedandherbug · 12/08/2011 14:22

Collie if you have thrush lovely, the cream won't clear it up! The infection is inside not on the outside . Might be worth a trip to gp, they can check properly and prescribe pessary if necessary. When I was prg with dd (5!) I never had my fundal height measured, which was weird after having it done every 5 mins with the boys.

tunnock will they scan eventually to check if bubs is breech??

bigmacandhappymeal · 12/08/2011 14:44

Oo good, something to distract me from work

collie - brill re new mattress, although I would fear the getting up, not the getting on :) That sounds like a very frustrating MW visit. They have such significance. I think harassed is right re seeing the GP

Have a lovely break harassed

Oh Oooowwwwlllllllll

tunnocks glad all is OK and hope the alleged breech sorts out

CollieandPup · 12/08/2011 14:47

harassed it was canesten and pessary. NOT impressed if it's not what I need, especially as I had to pay and didn't even want it!! Angry Bloody mw! Well she said shed take swobs next time I go of there are still traces. Don't really want to pester gp as I'm not even having symptoms! Did have at about 18wks but only for a couple of days and it just stopped. But because I didn't treat it, she's had me doing this!

Am seeing GP next week though. Got a red blemish/bump/moley looking thing on my right nipple. Noticed it not long after bfp so not sure if just related to changes and have been ignoring it, but someone on my 'due in Nov' thread found something and is having it checked, so i really felt I should do the same. Hopefully nothing.

LaraandLittleBean · 12/08/2011 15:03

Collie - I have one too (a little bump on my left nipple). It's nipple coloured and raised like a little bobble on the actual nipple itself. It hasn't bothered me so I haven't done anything about it and I figured it's just pregnancy-related.

How is it that I seem to have every unattractive symptom going??

CollieandPup · 12/08/2011 15:29

Yes lara sounds similar. But it's slightly redder than my nipple. I thought that too, which is why I've not done anything for months, but now feel I should make sure. Did the worst possible thing last night and google image searched for similar looking things and of course used words like 'cancer' in my search. Similar looking things did come up so felt a bit anxious last night, but in reality it probably also looks like a multitude of others things that are not serious. So I'm calmer now.

Hmmm, does anyone actually bloom whilst pg?! I think it's a myth! Let's see:
-moley nipple, check
-hairy bum, check
-smelly bum from increased gas, check
-hairy legs as can't be arsed reach to shave them, check
-hairy fanjo because can't see fanjo to shave it, check
-fat, double check
-lard arse, check
-constantly picking knickers out of arse as knickers to small and resfuse to by yet another larger set, check

-face full of cake food all the time, check
-tears for no reason, check
-snappy rage monster, check
-walk with waddle, check
-stained clothed because only have 2 other tops that fit and ones in the wash and the other one is drying, check
-bags under eyes from lack of sleep, check
-look like whale when trying to get up out of seat/bed, check
-look like whale in bed, propped up with cushions, check

now, in contrast:
-glowing skin, have I bollocks, more like another spot outbreak. Any glow I have is thanks to my bronzing pack, NOT being pg!
-thick rich hair, maybe. BUT this is now almost always scraped back unto pony or is greasy and lanky due to being to late in a noting to wash it as a result of lack of said sleep

I can't event think of any other glamerous benefits!!!!!

Did I mention fat???!!!!

cep · 12/08/2011 15:46

collie lol oh dear, i'm sure to everyone else you look fine. Grin

am having to fight off eating, i am constantly hungry at the moment, it's driving me crazy.

I bought my first xmas pressie today. trying to get a bit organised.

ALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 12/08/2011 15:48

PMSL collie I check everyone of those!

Talking of moley things, is it normal for moles to grow during pregnancy? I know they aren't meant to grow at all but I wasn't sure if perhaps increased blood flow may constitute to a little mole growth? I have a whopper on my side that I have had for years and it has suddenly become crusty, itchy and does look slightly bigger. If I go to the GP they won't remove it while I'm preg will they? So should I just leave it til after birth?

And the little bumps on your nipple - are you sure they aren't just Montgomery Glands?

LaraandLittleBean · 12/08/2011 15:53

That's the word I was looking for... Montgomery Glands..

In addition to all the above I also have:-

  • Much bigger moles (some are becoming positively wart-like)
  • Skin tags all over my neck
  • A permanent headache
  • Persistent cough-wees / laugh-wees (self explanatory)
  • Manky discharge
  • Hot and bothered / sweaty
  • Due to increasing bump size I always seem to spill food all over it
  • I actually have v dry hair (i.e. frizzy)

I asked my GP re. my mole (same as you Coconuts and he said it's due to pg and it should reduce / disappear afterwards

LaraandLittleBean · 12/08/2011 15:56

Cep - I find drinking lots of water helps my body realise it's thirsty and not hungry 24/7.

bigmacandhappymeal · 12/08/2011 16:07
Grin

yes yes yes... I can add to the list

-not skin tags but red dots (but not spots) on my decolletage.
-double chin
-wrist bulge over watch strap
-hairy belly

  • knickers pulled up over said hairy belly so look like billy bunter when I get changed.

Ladies, I too have a small skin coloured nobble on the end of one of my nipples (left). Not like the bumps around the nipple.

owlbooty · 12/08/2011 16:14

You lot are well classy Grin

Mole expansion and general skin crappiness seems par for the course; I am now covered in lumpy dark freckles that weren't there before and am definitely getting a couple of moles removed as soon as I am not updiffed any more as they are now officially gross. No hairy arse though although TBH I haven't checked and don't want to know. I have however managed to shave my legs and paint my toenails which I think is pretty damn impressive at almost 41 weeks.

I AM SO BLOODY FED UP NOW.

owlbooty · 12/08/2011 16:17

Also, Collie I don't think MWs can prescribe unless they are specially qualified - def. time for a GP appt if you need any magic drugs etc. After all, prescriptions are free! Hoorah!

ALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 12/08/2011 16:27

owl how the hell have you painted your nails?

Dear Mystic Tunnock will my wind ease up tonight for long enough for MrBigMac to find me even remotely attractive?

I am well impressed by your toenail painting owl. My bessie mate is coming over tomorrow and I will be prevailing upon her to do go near my callused beauties. Hang in there - owlet will come...

Velvetcu · 12/08/2011 18:31

Haha am loving the list :)

I'm very moley anyway but seem to have a few more every day! And I'm not impressed with the hair growth either! After a brazilian I usually get 3 weeks of silky smoothness then a gradual grow back over another 3 weeks. Well not this time! I could actually go back and get it done again now and it's only been 3 weeks since I had it done :(

Owl please do tell how you painted your toenails, I can barely tie my shoelaces. Owlet get a move on please you are hogging the top of the list, besides Tunnocks says today is the day....

My sister found out today she is having another girl. Yippee for me I don't have to graciously accept all her pink frilly hand-me-downs now Grin

Daisybell1 · 12/08/2011 22:25

Oooh, another list Grin

-hairy bum, yep
-hairy legs as can't be arsed reach to shave them, and armpits, yep
-hairy fanjo because can't see fanjo to shave it, check
-bum so large that when lean forward to pull the bath plug out half the water gets trapped behind me
-walk with waddle
-look like a cockroach trapped on back when trying to get up out of seat/bed, check
-snore like a demented warthog in bed - OH moved out 10 weeks ago

  • OH too freaked out by baby to come near me (or is so repulsed by immense bulk but too kind to say)
-Pelvic floor already knackered
  • No longer have any dignity - waddled out of bathroom semi-naked after throwing up to announce to OH that I'd thrown up in my hair and done a wee at the same time
IreneHeron · 13/08/2011 08:52

Ladies, I see your hairy arses (so to speak) and I raise you a pile!
I do have glossy (head) hair though.
The sound effects of everything I do are particularly attractive 'ugh, harrumph'.
I've also got lots of those weird blood blistery skin tag things.
I woke up this morning to DS in my bed shouting 'big bum' at me, so yes, fat too.

~I dream of a mattress topper. I got the spare mattress from DS's bed, (he's got one of those pull out beds under his bed) and put it in our room last night. I've been having such achy hips that I've not really slept for weeks. I didn't end up sleeping on it but when DS woke up in the night for the 3rd time, I elbowed DH out of bed to deal with him and he forgot it was there and went flying banging his head and hurting his shoulder. I felt awful and it meant the whole family were wide awake.

owlbooty · 13/08/2011 08:59

No babies here, sorry. He's just not coming out.

I would however like to add to the list:

Dribbling into pillow all night and thus waking up in pool of the stuff

I painted my toenails with relative ease as I have freakishly long arms. Grin
