    I'm trying to decide on what to tackle today - I'm really struggling mobilitywise so Tia I'd dread to think what you're like with your back :eek:
    Strict orders from my DH on not overdoing it but the house is a tip, kitchen is a state and there is loads to be done *sigh*
    Also want to clean the bathrooms and the floors... maybe I should do myself a list of to do's too :D

    Clean Main Bathroom
    Clean En Suite
    Clean Downstairs Loo (yes... small 3 bed house and we have 3 loos... nuts!)
    Tidy and Clean Kitchen
    Do Washing
    Iron *shudder* the Clean Bedding
    Brush the Dog (trickier than it sounds... she hates it!)
    Hoover the Stairs
    Hoover Downstairs
    Wash downstairs Floors (need to go get knee pads so I can do this on all 4s hehehe)

    And first I think we'll get dressed and go shopping LOL I need mince for batch cooking and kneepads for cleaning the floor... :)

    Imagine a cross between Igor, a very old lady all bent over and a woman doing labour breathing and that's what I'm like walking. And I like to pride myself on my high pain threshold but am in tears by the time I get to the loo.

    GP is printing me a prescription for co-codomol, ready after 2.30pm! :mad: I need them now!

    And I'm hungry too, wonder if I can get food.

    Morning all,

    I wondered if the title would have grabbed your attention! :p

    We haven't had nookie for a few months now. But, I am quite horny at mo as I am pretty sure hubby is too! There isn't a problem pregnancy wise as to why we haven't done it - just stresses of loft extension and how much diy we have had to do. :o

    Would love to have some nookie with him but scared about bringing labour on. As I am 37 weeks now, it is close. I know sperm can set the cervix ripening (or something like that) but that can be sorted via condoms. Want some nookie but also we need to get past this weekend and hopefully we will see an estate car we can buy (sorry, practicalities often prioritise over the good stuff) but will involve a lot of looking etc.

    So, do we do it and risk the consequences???? :confused:

    Also, friend sent me a link to Scarlett magazine online. I have never heard of this but when and looked (you have to become a member) and it is a naughty little mag for women and it has an article about s*x during pregnancy and this has set me off even more {thanks friend!}. :rolleyes:

    Please advise!

    ickle I'd kill for my hubby to be up for nookie :rotfl: If you did go into labour tomorrow and hadn't had nookie then it will be 6ish weeks before you can have any again (possibly longer) - if you DID have some and went into labour there is no guaranteeing it's because of the sex so why not enjoy yourselves whilst you can? I wish we could :rotfl:
    Infact DH has been informed that if we get within a week of due date he's doing his duty whether he wants to or not! He looked a bit shocked to tell you the truth :D
    Till then I'll just carry on munching pineapple and spicey food ;)

    Hey, where is everyone at the moment? It's very quiet!
    Just wanted to ask what peoples experience of Placenta Previa is, apparently i have it because they picked it up in my scan on Wednesday, but does anyone know what the stats are for it moving or for me needing a C-Section?

    No idea about the stats but I had it with DD2 (diagnosed on a scan after bleeding at around 14 weeks), but it had moved sufficiently by my 32 weeks scan and I had a VBAC. My bf bled on and off through her second tri with it, but by the time she got to 34 weeks was also told it had moved enough for a VBAC but she opted for an elective c section anyway.

    would you believe zoes just handed me a letter she had in her bag since yesterday :rolleyes: saying they're banned from flavoured waters :eek: x
    God I hate those type of letters, who ho the school think they are telling you what to give your child!:mad: BIL got a letter when he was at high school asking that parents didn't send their kids to school with crisps and/or chocolate I mean !!!!!! can't we have anything nice?!

    Tia - do you have a good girly friend or a sister that could come and stay with you?

    Tine - Whats Kira like with the hoover? my nan's dog was so lazy he'd just lie there while she hovered him :rotfl: much easier than brushing if its to get the dead hairs out!

    Ickle - I make hubby's little man wear his rain coat because it tends to not set of BHs if he does ;) plus what heavily preggers lady want to be dealing with the aftermath when you can barely reach down there :rotfl:

    did they say how bad it was? sometimes its just the edge thats over the cervix so as u get bigger it moves up out of the way but I think its much rarer to have the more serious kind when it is completely covering the exit - that would deffo require a c/s.
    Did they tell you that jiggy was off the cards? it is supposed to be but a few ladies who have only slight PP weren't told to not get jiggy.
