I have just picked a fight with DH regarding his bloody stinky feet. We are not talking. I am now lying stretched out on the sofa like a blimp, farting and burping. I am wearing leggings with a hole in the knee and another one developing in the crotch area. No bra. I need a bath. Considering a bowl of Rice Krispies for dinner.

Would anyone like to stake a claim to being more glamorous / sexy than me this evening?

I always thought I'd be a glam preggo... glossy hair, cute bump enhancing clothes yadda yadda yadda.

Since I have worn the same clothes since Friday I suspect becoming a glam preggo is unlikely.

gaggiagirl · 05/07/2015 22:29

We still have lots of sex. DH must be a saint, I couldn't look at me and get any level of horn.
I attempted to shave the lady garden again and managed to cut my fanjo to ribbons.

Morning you gorgeous lot.

I'm no longer pregnant having delivered my little boy yesterday! I hope you'll still let me be in the gang though as I'm looking well sexy owing to c section... Pressure stockings, not had any pants on since yesterday morning, maternity pads, catheter - you just can't buy this level of sexiness. Wink

(Obviously worth every sexy pregnancy and post partum look though... The Boy is gorgeous)

Ahhh congrats hippy! We have our first glamour thread baby!

Thank you!

I no longer resemble a sea cow on the bright side, although I do now look like a deflated balloon instead. Wink

Toothfairy7 · 06/07/2015 10:45

Congratulations Hippy ... Such great news :))))) enjoy your beautiful baby boy .. That's brought a smile to my face!!! Hope you are doing well xx

Paperblank · 06/07/2015 11:11

Congratulations Thanks squishy newborn cuddles are the best.

DXBMermaid · 06/07/2015 13:55

Turns out infection is not fungal, but a yeast infection (like thrush). That just sounds so much better doesn't it?

Have got some cream and hopefully that should sort it out. Soon enough!

To add to the glamour, my waddle is truly fantastic at the moment... Good thing I'm seeing the osteopath on Wednesday. Only downside is that he is a very very dishy charming French guy and I look like like an egg on stilts.

geekymommy · 06/07/2015 14:26

DXBMermaid, I thought yeasts were fungi?

Congratulations Hippy!

DXBMermaid · 06/07/2015 18:02

I thought so too. Dr Google informs me that yeast is also a fung, but difffers from mould. Either way let's hope it's gone soon!

Hippymama1 · 06/07/2015 19:42

Good evening all! Well so far, the post natal glamour hasn't just been restricted to pressure stockings and deflated balloon tummies!

I look like im still about 6 months pregnant.

I can't stop farting. I think my c section has disturbed a fart store somewhere in my insides.

The sweating. God the sweating.

And the weeing are full on! Not getting any slimmer though.

Pressure stockings have got rid of my cankles but left the hobbit man feet as was. I look like minnie mouse.

Sexy times to look forward to, ladies! Sexy times. Wink

RockerMummy184 · 06/07/2015 20:32

Good god hippy, you didn't hang about there did you!! MASSIVE congratulations!

And even more congratulations on staying sexy! Wink

I think the name of those awful sock things needs changing, the use of the word 'stockings' lulls you into a false sense of attractiveness!

DXB my waddle is looking quite comical at the moment! Not only do I have rapidly worsening SPD but awful piles from all the iron tablet induced constipation...Excellent!

geekymommy · 06/07/2015 22:20

I don't think I'll be wearing any shoes other than Birkenstock sandals or Crocs for a while. I'm 37+4, tried today to put on a pair that I would have to fasten (with Velcro), and realized, nope. I'll be having a C section, so this may last a while after the baby is born, too.

KnitFastDieWarm · 06/07/2015 22:27

Woo hoo! Baby Hippy! Grin

Keep us updated on the postpartum chic we all have to look forward to! Who doesn't love a catheter?Hmm

My acid reflux has now mutated into noisily burping up acid - I don't know how Dh is managing to keep his hands off me when we're out in public, the man's self control is legendary!

Hippymama1 · 06/07/2015 23:17

Thanks everyone... I'm quite the glamorous yummy mummy in my hospital gown! Wink

DXBMermaid · 07/07/2015 06:30

Rocker, I feel your pain! Had it in my last pregnancy as well. It's great feeling constantly like you've been kicked in the fanjo. I can really recommend going to see either an Osteopath (doing that this pregnancy and finding it very beneficial) or a chiropractor (did that during first pregnancy, was helpful but not as good as osteo). Turning over in bed is not just painful, but resembles a car doing a 10 point turn Hmm

What are you all wearing (when out and about)? I seem to live in leggings or dresses. If I wear normal trousers I just look fat, in leggings at least I look pregnant (and fat).

Armpit has shown a bit of improvement. Can't wait till I can wear deodorant on both sides. Nose is still blocked so can't smell my own pong which is a good thing, but only for me. Receptionist at Drs complimented me on my smell yesterday. She asked me what scent I was wearing... Eau de Pregnancy with a smidge of wee

Sparrowlegs248 · 07/07/2015 07:27

I posted this on another thread and was directed here.......

Constipation. The thumb solution. That's all I'm prepared to say.

Baguettes · 07/07/2015 17:46

DXB despite still being early days for me (10+4) I am wearing leggings. I'm still trying to hide my pregnancy from most of the world. Not easy when my previous baby destroyed my stomach muscles with his 10lb 4oz weight (love him).

notta Welcome to the glamour fest. I'm not sure whether to be proud or embarrassed that you were directed here Grin Did you solve your poo problem?

Last night I farted in bed. The smell was so foul it woke DH up .
