    LOL....darn you, i can't top that....but you can send some my way if you like :D:p - god i'm craving chocolate big time at the mo, don't want anything else. Thats the period pain symptoms coming through i think. ARRGGGHHHHHHH baby GET OUT!!!!!!

    And i have a big bottle of Coke here, i have already drunk 1l of it :eek::eek::eek::o

    I'm usually healthy - i have been so far from healthy for the last week or so. :o oh well!

    Oh MLSL - i hope you feel better soon - yay for being signed off though, wow, thats nuts thinking you'll not be back for well over a year. I hope you get some rest! As for constipation, fruit juice always helped me, but i would drink a few cartons at a time which means you end up with the flip side of constant peeing. x

    Ewww chocolate. I'm actually very very scared in that I really really did not want to buy a bar of chocolate today (even Wispas which are normally insanely addictive)... while at very very early 3-4 weeks-ish I still don't feel pregnant and haven't had any real nausea (apart from generally feeling pants) - the thought of chocolate is enough to make my stomach do the macarena. Since normally I'm the sort of woman who will hysterically pace the floorboards like an addict in cold turkey when I want some chocolate - this is not normal behaviour for me so I suppose it counts as a symptom.

    I'll go back to lurking now.

    MLSL - I had awful C during my 2nd trimester. I found drinking lots of water and fruit juices with bits in (which I actually hate) made everything a bit "softer"....

    And I steered clear of anything too fatty/greasy for a week or so, and ate a lot of green beans/broccoli and sweetcorn.....oh and was having weetabix every day for brekkie......

    I also found (sorry if noone enjoys this topic of conversation LOL) that massaging the base of my back (top of bum cheeks) for about 10 mins before trying helped, and if your bump is pretty big, lean back on the toilet, seems to "open" things up a bit more

    i went all savoury in my food choices for quite a while, and its just mainly been the last week or so i've really wanted chocolate/haribo LOL

    MGEB - I've just polished off the last of the pepsi max we had.....and i'm annoyed there is no more LOL

    Cakes are done, lets see whats occuring in the kitchen....

    PS Ay recommendations about exercises on gym ball, so far im just having jolly's on it like a space hopper, Gordon Ramsay hates it MUHAHAAHAHAHA He jumped up at it and it bounced him back! tee hee hee hee.....

    Madwife said I need to try and turn baby a bit because his back is slightly round toward mine, and it would more ideal for his back to be round at my front. All she said was leaning forward.... but then that gives me heartburn and hurts my back.....

    And does anyone know anything about maternity allowance? I think they've had my form about 3 weeks (cant remember when I sent it), and I've not heard anything :(

  • Pigpen is still about - her last activity shows as today around 11am. Hope she ok though!

    Lol at the Gordon and the gymball - my DD likes to bounce about on mine, she bounces all over the place and i'm always scared she's gonna go flying and smack her head on something - she really has no fear lol. And hubby uses it as a footrest - i barely get a chance to use mine.

    Honestly some days this dog could provide all my entertainment!

    He's having a nap now :)

    Hubby got himself stuck on it last night doing his own version of chiropractic adjustments.... I told him he would regret it, and this morning, he does! LOL
