Congrats on team blue Charlie!

Just purchased my birth pool - went for La Bassine - they're on special offer at the moment if anyone is interested. Hoping to have everything sorted for the home birth by Xmas, so I can then relax knowing I'm all set for whenever babs makes an appearance.

Milk just makes me sick at the moment Doesn't even reach my tummy, which is odd because I can cope with cream, yoghurt and mild cheese.

I've always disliked milk, makes me gip but when I am pg it seems worse. Amusingly I am not dairy intolerant as I love cheese and chocolate, its just the taste of milk.

TP you are a girl after my own heart. I find that milk tastes awful, and I can only have it on cereal. If there's any left in the bowl once the cereal has been eaten then it goes down the sink.

Well throughout this pregnancy I haven't felt much of a bond with sproglet, or much in the way of excitement. I usually feel too embarassed to tell people that when they ask if I'm excited about the new arrival. I don't feel that I can say "Well, I want this baby, but I'm not excited or looking forward to it". I don't talk much to it. We do have the occasional poking fight (he pokes me, I poke back, he pokes, I poke etc), and I don't feel terribly close to it. Does that make me a bad mummy? I do love this child, but probably not in the way I'm supposed to feel.

Just now bump had a jolly long wriggle and when I looked down I could see the shape of sproglet all curled up asleep. I could make out where his head and bum were, and I can feel his feet in my ribs! I suddenly felt some kind of bond and overwhelming love for this thing inside me. Why can't I feel like this more often?

Sorry, enough rambling from me. Time to go to bed and feed DH some medicine for his man flu. Have to get up in time to see if I feel like going in to work tomorrow.

Night all x

I'm terrible for using a kirby grip in my ears

:eek::eek::eek:

Strangely I've just been doing my 2 yr old DD's she's a nightmare with everything like that teeth cleaning, brushing hair, clipping nails etc and always gets hysterical but begs to get her ears done I've had to ration her to only after the bath as she's addicted, my mam says I'll make her kinky if I do it too much?!? It is disturbing how she goes into a trance when I do it, then runs to show her Dad "look Dad look my wack!":rotfl:

I think baby boy as he's known was stuck last night as he kicked me in my right hip constantly for 2 hours I did get a bit freaked out about cord entanglements but drifted off in the end to be woken up later by more regular movements.

Honey, there is no way you are supposed to feel, and there is no right or wrong way of going through pregnancy and parenthood. I didn't bond at all with DS when I was pregnant (he was a surprise and I was 26 weeks when I found out I was pg) - in fact, when he was born, I remember looking down and thinking, "oh my god, that's a baby". I felt terribly guilty, and we bonded slowly. I felt fear for him, and guilt, but not really love, not even after he was born, for quite a while. Now though, he really is the light of my life, and I love every second that I spend with him. I am so proud of him, and all his little achievements and joys give me such pleasure. (He has just done his first two accident-free days with his potty training, and he comes and gives me a high five and a big hug when he uses his potty - small things!)

Your bond with your child will come, whether it's when you find out you're pregnant, when they are born, or the first time they smile. You might not even realise it's happening, but it will.

You don't fall in love with anyone else without meeting them, why should babies be any different?
