The berries in the chopper (thread 5). All together now... clench

[CatsCantFlyFast]

For pregnant berries at any stage. Scary thought but this is the one where some babies will appear!

Foody I didn't get a home visit pre birth. Maybe depends on your trust

Afaik our midwives are too busy to do a home inspection!

Had a voicemail from the HV a couple of weeks ago trying to make contact. Returned the call and left a message, but nothing back. Think they'll want to do a pre-natal visit. Very odd.
Can't sleep. Very achy and DH snoring.
bunny loved the reveal pics. Very creative. Gender cake next?

Tell me, wise berries (more knowledgeable than NCT, it would appear), when does the wind go away?

Morning all,

Lovely milestones with the reveal, second and third trimesters in here yesterday

And tally how sweet is that?! Lovely! You deserve a little fuss to be made of you my dear.

foody sorry about the hormone fug, sounds like taking action has made you feel a bit better emotionally if not physically.

And cats, you think the wind goes away, ha!?!!! seriously though i don't know if there is any pattern really. Certainly wasn't throughout my pregnancy.

foody I get another home visit. Don't really mind though as guessing i won't be wanting to traipse to the surgery at 38weeks.

charming maybe the hv is just due to your past medical history? Wouldn't worry though, sure it's just routine

I don't think I get any home visits, but then I'm not sure I'm on the mw's radar since I've never seen her... HVs do a home visit in the trust I work for but not heard from them here at all. Being left to my own devices, just as well since house is dirty hovel!

Pamper day today. Roll on massage o'clock! Feet and hands just starting to puff up a bit which is annoying, they'll have to mani/pedicure my fat trotters instead of proper appendages!

ooh boom that sounds nice.
Dh is off this week so we are getting the room sorted. I wish I had a pamper day booked! Went round the neighbours' house to sit round the bonfire last night and I had a go on their massage chair. it was heaven! I do hope it's ok for pg women!

Ah pamper day sounds goooood.

The health visitor is actually due to visit chez brod this afternoon! No idea what she's going to ask or inspect - will let you know...

Morning all!

Think I overdid it yesterday as feeling crappy today Been sick and have a banging headache. Too much excitement! Also feeling really ratty, everything annoys me, especially DH lol

cats no gender cake for me!

Question, when does second tri start?

Enjoy your trotter manicure boom! How do you get a massage when you can't lie on your front?

Bunny, loved the reveal story - are you enjoying being official? I think second trimester starts sometime between 12 and 14 weeks depending on who you ask! Personally I decided the first tri ended on my last day of throwing up which was 12+6. Are you starting to feel better?

Enjoy your pamper day, boom!

Not much to report here, feeling comfortable and no longer exhausted, enjoying being able to get outside in the sunshine to garden and play tennis, which feels great after weeks lying on the sofa listening to the rain! Still ekeing out the roomier/stretchier end of my pre-pregnancy wardrobe, though thinking about starting to wear maternity clothes to help me look pregnant rather than paunchy!

I agree bunny, tiredness makes it so much worse. sending you hugs xxx

oh shit oh shit oh shit. Just got my date. It's next week. oh shit.

Gosh, Tally, I can't imagine what emotions you must be feeling, probably lots simultaneously. Hope happiness at meeting your little one at last comes out on top! Thinking of you....

And at least you have a definite reason to insist on getting all your baby clothes etc back from the grandparents-to-be!

At

mil is currently helping dh paint the room so she'll get it brought over very soon now. I'm alternately terrified and excited right now...

Eeek tally EEEEEEEEEEKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

eek tally, how exciting!
I know in theory I'm due in the next few weeks, but it must be odd to have a specific date!
So exciting to know when you get to meet your little one, though.
How are you doing?

yes, I'm going to meet her this time next week!!!!!!!

tally I am so excited for you!

Oooooh exciting tally so Monday is the day! how you feeling?

I think I'm ok. my first reaction was to burst into tears but with a huge grin. not quite sure where my head is.

Tally am so excited for you - Monday will be amazing!!! And plus it gives the rest of us time to get snacks in for Baby Watch!! x
