We're both food weirdo's EA I can eat fish, any vegetable etc just not things that have been made into different things that you can no longer identify! Sausages gross me out, if we ever get them I have to get the absolute best ones I can find to try and tell myself it's ok it's not pig bum that I'm eating!!!

I just remembered another one, i cant have certain textures in my mouth. So anything jelly like makes me gag. Oranges make me gag as they have a jelly like texture once you chew them. And also semen... :rotfl:

Tomatos have the jelly like texture to *shudder*

I cant eat the yellow bit of an egg either, that has the jelly like texture and once i was in tesco having a fried breakfast and i was eating the egg and the yellow bit was very gooey and jelly like and the first thought that came to my head was "im eating a dead baby chicken" and since then i haven't had the yolk in eggs. I cut around it lol.:rotfl:

Once i was at my ex's for dinner and his mum made pork curry and didn't tell me it was pork. I had a bit and knew instantly that it wasn't chicken and was almost sick. I wanted to punch her :rotfl::o A bit OTT but she knew i only eat chicken curry and hated pork :rotfl:

Thanks for that Nikkit, no I've not got green notes but MW explained - last time I was 3/5 palpable, this time 1/5 palpable, so 4/5 engaged - wonder if they do it differently in different areas? Basically she said he's very low - so think she must've meant that?

nikkit72

yer sounds like it , its weird how different areas in uk do and say different things differently, you would think every midwife was taught the same stuff to get the qualifiction, but seems not , so if i learnt to be a mw down here and moved it would be all different , how silly ?

Hello,

well went to see the consultant who did a growth scan as last week i was measuring 35 when i am 30 weeks! Baby is fine, just big! Glad we are having a c-section in 8 weeks, really don't fancy pushing a big baby out!

This is me today, 30 + 4.

Jolene , all i can say is wow, u are havinga big baby , no offense meant , but my u are as big as me at 38 + 1 , but i am little though 5"

You look great Jolene! Did they estimate babys weight at all?

gymfiend

Wow Jolene I think you're bigger than me! Lovely bump & yay for a c-section, must be lovely knowing exactly when baby is due! Did they give an estimated weight?

eta: I'm obviously a nosey parker but flipping heck, your 12 & a half week bump was bigger than my 26 weeker!! & I love the scan pics

I know Nikkit, it's ridiculous - I see different MWs almost every time and even they give different info every time.

Lol EA to the punching :rotfl: OHs parents delight in telling me they're glad when I don't go over when everyone else does because it means they can have beef/pork or whatever they want as they don't have to suit me! I take this as a positive sign to mean I don't have to go too often as I'd hate to trouble them :P

Evansangel

Haha! What they going to do if baby is exactly like his mummy then? Not invite him round? lol.

My current IL's are great, they always do me chicken when we go round for a roast

No offence taken! I am short but not exactly a small girl! I was at slimming world when I found out i was pregnant, was half way to my target, put all the weight I lost back on now though, oh well, no preoblem i will lose it again.

I was in maternity jeans from about 9 weeks!

I am like a beached whale when getting of the sofa from laying down! I often have to get hubby to help me up!:rotfl:
