Someone to carry baby for me - I am not a good pregnant woman - my normal angry genes are revved up a few notches!

A FT nanny for my two older children. And a housekeeper/cleaner. A personal masseur. And a daily delivery service from a selection of restaurants

A magic elevation beam so that I don't have to carry DD1 around and knacker my hips, pelvis and back.

If KFC delivered I'd be 20 stone!

peanut-free peanuts

(never wanted a snickers more badly in my life)

meep · 15/05/2008 19:59

an easy to insert home catheter for night time so you wouldn't have to get up to pee every 5 minutes!

BrassicaNapusNapobrassica · 15/05/2008 19:59

A Stannah stairlift

AHLH · 15/05/2008 20:06

Something to stop me feeling sick. Also peanut free peanuts !

EffiePerine · 15/05/2008 20:07

Can't you eat peanuts now or am I imagining that?

RainyWednesday · 15/05/2008 20:32

Maternity tights that come in something other than plain bloody black

And maternity underwear that isn't either hideous, virginal (why would I now want to wear smalls that look like they belong to an eight year old?) or overpriced.

Meh.

hansnava · 15/05/2008 20:38

i aske my midwife about peanuts and she said u only cant eat them if u or partner have asthma,hayfever,eczema or are allergic to them. which pees me right off as dp has all first three

sweetkitty · 15/05/2008 20:44

A decent pelvis

Failing that a cleaner/cook/nanny would be fab. In fact I am trying to clone a non pregnant me, I would like two mes.

Essie3 · 15/05/2008 20:46

An incubator, for the whole bump (including hormones, nausea, tiredness, need to pee) so that I can take a day off. Or two. Or a week...

And a zip for getting the baby out - it could be like a washing machine, locked until the cycle is finished!

A chauffeur to push DD's buggy and a sedan chair. For me.

teacakes by intravenous drip

effieperine and hansnava

We are allergy family supreme!

Me - hayfever, eczema, psoriasis, bee stings, some antibiotics.
DH - hayfever for 6 months of the year, I don't think there's a pollen he doesn't react to!
FIL - House dust, hayfever
Niece (FIL's granddaughter) - peanuts

So all in all, mw decided that I ought to give up my lifelong toast-and-peanut-butter breakfast habit. I have half a jar left just waiting for when baby is out and weaned!

I'd like free antenatal exercise classes and maternity bras, they have cost me a fortune this week, and £80 to get my name changed on my passport!

hansnava · 15/05/2008 22:42

tarka- im with u on the crane my dp laughs at me whenever i try to get out of bed he says i look like a turtle thats stuck on its back lol

Effie - you're not imagining it - recent research suggests that it can actually be more harmful to babe than not to avoid peanuts during pg. Very frustrating. While the advice to avoid peanuts has been in place here, peanut allergies are on the rise, whereas in cultures where they form part of the mother's diet throughout pg they are very, very rare! But they have not changed the official advice yet... I have not bothered avoiding peanuts this time round. I ended up having them by mistake a couple of times last time (stirfry in peanut oil, and an innocuous looking chocolate cake).
