Sorry to bother again.

Im getting pains in my lower stomach and back that feel like im in labour but im only 23 weeks pregnant. I didnt have this with my first baby and im scared. I dont think i am in labour but thats the only way i could think to describe the pains. It's not constant, just on and off but when it happens its so painful.

Thanks whitenoise I know I shouldn't let it bother me, I'm just intrigued as to why anyone would think I was making stuff up!

whitenoise · 07/01/2009 23:38

its prob the fact that you are married to snivelus

MrsSnape · 07/01/2009 23:40

I know, I'd like to change it to MrsBean (as in Sean Bean) but I've seen someone with the same name (or similar) so I can't!

I went off MrSnape ages ago

FAQtothefuture · 07/01/2009 23:42

well perhaps not a "troll" in the same as others have been, but I do feel that there's things that don't add up. You can't afford to put heating on, yet you buy expensive game stations for Christmas for your DS. And other older odd things related to money.

Some of the things that have happened to you/you've seen/heard/experienced just seem to be far too frequent and outlandish.

I mean hell, someone got an Impulse lid stuck up their fanjo the other day, so yes you read all sorts of werid and wonderful things on MN (isn't that one of the great things about it), but it's the number.

It's been a while (quite a bit before Christmas) that I thought it - so haven't really followed any recent threads, although had read the OP's of a few, and seen your posts on threads that i'm also posting on, and they just seem too bizarre for me.

However if you are genuine and you just have an absolutely incrediby werid life, then I do apologise to you now.

MrsSnape · 07/01/2009 23:47

Oh, the "when we can afford to put heating on" was said tongue in cheek. Of course I can heat the house, just that it costs us a bloody fortune to do so lately.

The wii was bought from the catalogue (as I've said many, many times now).

Not sure what else you're referring to. If there is anything specific ... ?

FAQtothefuture · 07/01/2009 23:47

and can I just be nosey???

and ask how what your son uses to play with his XBox as you don't have a TV??

MrsSnape · 07/01/2009 23:51

I do have a TV, I have two actually...one in the living room and DS has his own that his dad bought him a couple of years ago.

I don't however have 'TV' iyswim? our freeview box broke and I can't receive a TV signal without it. But I don't watch TV much anyway so I've just not bothered replacing it yet.

FAQtothefuture · 07/01/2009 23:52

there's various things where you seem to have been spedning money on expensive things, and then not appearing to have money for the important things - think Karate lessons v a Utlity bill was one of them.

Iike I said if I'm wrong and all these odd things have happened to you, and the financial discrepencies are just my imagination then I'm sorry for thinking that you were (and naming you)

FAQtothefuture · 07/01/2009 23:54

sorry didn't realise your freeview box had broken - when did that happen?

I couldn't have coped without the virgin box over Christmas the DS's would have driven me insane

MrsSnape · 07/01/2009 23:55

I don't mind being named, as long as the reasons are explained. (As you have done).

The karate vs the water bill...yes that was a bit daft, I don't always make the right decisions, who does?
Not sure what other odd things you mean?

spookycharlotte121 · 07/01/2009 23:56

mrssnape, where abouts are you? I got virgin recently so have a freeview box going if you want it

MrsSnape · 07/01/2009 23:58

I can't remember to be honest, it was ages ago though. It kind of 'died a slow death'. For months it half worked, one day it would, next day it wouldn't...sometimes it would work for an hour and then switch off, then it hardly ever worked so I got tired of it and took it out.

We don't really miss it

MrsSnape · 07/01/2009 23:59

Sorry Charlotte, crossed post. I'm in Hull.

FAQtothefuture · 08/01/2009 00:04

I think you've lost track of time MrsSnape - your were complaining about your younger son sitting gawping at the TV just at the start of December

actually having said that DS3's Christening seems likes years ago and ws only the end of November LOL.

MrsSnape · 08/01/2009 00:14

Ah yes, was probably a DVD he was watching. Unless the freeview box was working that day lol

Lulumama · 08/01/2009 07:25

mummytoleon, of course you don;t have to explain yourself or prove anything to anyone here, but when you post in the early hours asking for help, and claim you were diagnosed with prem labour, ye your story is full of holes, human nature would dictate you would be furious at being called a liar and come back with enough info etc to show that you are telling the truth

not responding to the challenges of the inconsistencies makes me think even more you are trolling

if you had said your dates were a week out , for example, it would be less of an alarm bell, but a whole month

get real

lou031205 · 08/01/2009 08:35

M2L you could clear this up easily if you are not trolling. Why, when Nappyaddict contacted you, did you say you were given a cyclizine injection for a chest infection?

If you are genuinely struggling so made up a few bits to get more help on a thread, just have the guts to say "I lied a bit", come clean and move on. You will feel a bit daft for a few days, but it will end all of this.

Flightattendant7 · 08/01/2009 10:36

Cyclizine is an anti nausea drug.

If you had a chest infection it's unlikely it would be given especially as an injection.

I don't believe any of this I'm afraid.

MrsSnape - can I just say I've never for even a second thought you were a troll

My God though I post some weird crap, I hope nobody thinks I am...

Flightattendant7 · 08/01/2009 10:37

though they did the other day when I namechanged.

MrsSnape · 08/01/2009 10:40

Thanks Flightattendant

Flightattendant7 · 08/01/2009 10:43

thats alright

us barking single parents need to stick together

lauraloola · 08/01/2009 11:01

I have now spent half an hour reading this and the babyjjbaby thread!

1 - M2L - I am not so sure she is a troll. I have seen her on a few threads and she is very young. With a young baby and being pregnant I can see why some things could get confused.

2 - Mrssnape and some others named on here are not trolls. I also think its a bit cruel to say that some mnetters are mentioned when they arent even taking part in this thread.

3 - I am confused. Why does a teddy need so many bloody pushchairs. Dd is a real baby and only has one

Rant over

lou031205 · 08/01/2009 11:16

Bizzare thing - another thread was started, and as I was posting it was deleted. Long post too! It just went 'poof'.

Flightattendant7 · 08/01/2009 11:25

Who was the OP Lou?

lou031205 · 08/01/2009 11:38

Mummy to Oliver James - it was a thread asking "Does anyone NOT think MTL is a troll" - looking for support for MTL as she thinks it is outrageous that some doubt her. I was explaining reasons for my doubt, and gone, gone gone!
