nice to see you Bogwoppit Did they suggest geranium oil? I've been using it in the bath and haven't had half as much swelling as usual - but have also been making a supreme effort to drink loads of water which is hideous but seems to be worth it. Oh and I have to laugh at the whole OFP/relax in late pregnancy/put your feet up to avoid fluid retention thing - completely infeasible with a toddler, but believe me I'd love to.
Went to the supermarket today and bought my labour scoff supplies - lucozade orange, dextrose sweets, cereal bars, cashew nuts and dried apricots. I will of course proceed to fancy NONE of those when in labour and eat them in a fat heiferish fashion whilst lying in bed postnatally. Also bought some cotton wool for bottom wiping which made it seem very real...ooh and my pool arrived today!
MG, I bet a few months of cramming yourselves into the flat and he'll be househunting like mad...
Cathncait, you're right, must try not to grumble Keep telling myself this is the last time and I should be enjoying this, but then realise that the reality is I don't like being pregnant very much
BTW Gomez, are you scottish-in-scotland or a displaced one like me?
Secur, am impressed by your super-virtuous diet this time round - mine is hopeless! Started off with carbo-junk-food obsession to stave off morning sickness, went on to 'can't be bothered to cook, let's have a takeaway' and now am eating very healthily (all fruit veg and wholmeal bread) but am not at all hungry.
And Lazyeye, I echo the 'lie around doing nothing all morning' sentiment - dh has been off work and I've been a lot lazier this week and feel a bit better so it does work.
