    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.

    Aw - pants for you tia :( - have a ((hug))

    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!

    We tried it daily up to 3x day with our babies - and all 3 of them were still late!!

    My hubby is always up for it when I'm pg - he thinks pgnancy is s*xy. Which is nice - sometimes.........

    intrigued by scarlett mag - off to have a looksee!

    I took 2 co-codomaol at 11.30am (DH got them from the chemist, our pharmacists is lovely) and they are helping with the pain, but I feel out of it. Staring into space, trying to talk but realising my mouth isn't moving. Plus I feel slightly sick, so having a sandwich. Typing is hard I keep stopping and staring at the keys.

    Dh is still going away, but is only an hour away ond on strict orders not to drink (the BB leaders are naughty). Kids are away all weekend and he is went to our shop to get me ready meals (we sell lasagne and stuff that is fresh made and kept in the fridge and microwaved when needed and it's yum). Friend is coming up later tonight and tomorrow to keep me company but if I keep taking co-codomol think I will spend the weekend sleeping and being spaced out so it doesnt matter. I've to walk as often as I can.

    Bra's arrived too. I thought they were underwired but they aint. Still lovely. Will try them on when I go up for a pee.

    Heyyy, I have money in my paypal account too.... :D

    What strength are they? I find with 30/500's that they make me a bit woozy so take one and then another one an hour or so later. Not so bad then (that's not medical advice just my experience)

    Are those the bras from eBay? If they are comfy could u post a link?
    I def need a new bra.

    Greent - mine find pregnancy very sexy but agree it's nice but not all the time!!

    I am not writing a list of things to do... Don't want to set myself up for failure ;)

    Just rang kiddisave about the pushchair, waiting for someone to call me back and let me know when they'll be picking it up and ordering a replacement.. Have squashed it back into the box, minus the polystyrene that Aimee has an obsession with breaking up... That's my one task for the day completed!

    Think the baby is trying to force it's head down... Pubic bone is starting to throb... Not that comfortable!

    Tia, you sound how I did when I had my tonsils out and the Dr prescribed me tramadol for the pain... I was off my face all day!

    8/500mg. Think I will do that when I take them next, due again at say 4pm, so will take one then one at 6pm.

    http://shop.ebay.co.uk/merchant/emilybnursingbra_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ

    I honestly thought they were underwired which is why I bought them, but anyway...

    The maternity bra cup size is just a bit bigger than an asda padded t shirt bra, very comfy and didn't give my granny 38E's. I'll wear it even though I swear by underwires.

    Nursing bra cup sizes are a bit small, so I'd go up a cup size. But very comfy and very pretty, especially the Rosa (the Sophia has two thin fancy straps that I think would dig in after too long).

    I was gonna bid on a couple of those bras Tia, but they ended right as I was wasting my time at the bloomin hospital! Oh well, googled my size and there's a stack... Couple of years ago when I was feeding Aimee, they never had my size... Things are looking up!

    Was too full after eating my tea last night to contemplate pudding... So just had some toffee cheesecake... And seeing as there was some elmlea left in the fridge... Seemed rude not to... Trouble is.. I promised Aimee I'd save her some... There's a real danger she's going to be disapointed when she gets home....

    Krystal, they seem to list every few days. I think I need some matching pants...

    DH has got me a lasagne and a something else (mince and mash I think), but they are sold out of red soup! How dare they! Can you imagine having your own sammich shop and them not having any soup left for you? It's totally, totally pants!!! :rotfl:

    Time for my walk.

    Hmm... Have a dilema... Basically, the Dazzle came and it is all lovely... But there is some scuffing on the buckle where the pushchairs been folded up straight off the production line or wherever and some of the paint from the patterned part of the seat has been transferred onto the buckle and some of the buckle paint has come off... Not much.. But enough to be noticable... I do know that in a few months when we have a sticky toddler it will probably get scuffed anyway... But we have just shelled out £200 on it... Called the shop and they've offered us 3 options...

    1, The black is no longer in stock but we can go down and choose another colour and they will replace the accessory pack too...
    2, They will inspect the buckle and offer us a discount based on how much they think it's worth up to 10% (£15)
    3, We can take the pushchair back and they can order a new one in but don't know when it will come into stock... Can't guarantee within the next 3 weeks anyway...

    Now I'm not really fussed on waiting for a new one in black because we have the big pram to tide us over for now... But hubby's a real impatient wotsit... And would rather go for the 'right now' option... We chose black because it's the most practical one... He's now saying he liked the silver one too... But I don't imagine it would stay silver for long... And he doesn't like any of the other colours... And I don't really want to trudge the whole thing down there for them to tell us its not that bad and offer us a fiver off... What to do?!
