crazyaboutsaving --- !!!!!! bowl of brussell sprouts with butter???? i can manage a few at christmas, but couldn't do a bowl.

i trust you eat more gracefully that mikey of BB this year during the 'sprout task'.

no, honestly, enjoy!!!

I know, silly isn't it? I've always liked my green veg, but that was just a snack, not as part of a meal or anything....!

I could eat a bowl full of sprouts PRE-pregnancy

My major craving a while back was tinned fruit or frozen fruit, I could not bear to eat fresh for AGES.

Right now I just feel 'weird',, the baby has 'dropped' and people have noticed, I am just waiting...and waiting!

I went completely off green veg when I was having cravings - It was cheese all the way for me. Ihad to get a big bag of mini baby-bell to keep in the fridge at work, and I lived off cheesy chips and maccaroni cheese and things for the first trimester. I think the baby will be made of cheese when it emerges!

I'm 23 weeks now - everyone keeps telling me I'm massive. I've blown up like a balloon over the past month. I went to a pregnancy physio session 2 weeks ago, and I was as big as some of the ladies who were 10+ weeks ahead of me! I will as MW next week if it's anything to worry about, but I'm not overly concerned. Everyone's different. And I have been eating lots of chocolate

I'm starting to suspect that this baby is going to be a martial artist - I'm already getting kicked so hard I can see my tummy moving! If only it would keep kicking me there. Favourite game at the mo seems to be to kick me in the cervix. I would prefer if we could avoid that one thankyouverymuch! It's reassuring though - I suppose at least I know everything is ok

DD had her scan today, and wouldn't listen to me, so it was hard to ge a clear pic, but we saw the heartbeat and everythings fine:)She was a bit emotional seeing all the other "happy couples" in the waiting room, but that's to be expected.The midwifes brain washed her into breast feeding, so i've told her no nights out from now on, and she's rethinking:rotfl: :rotfl:
Hope you're all ok, and babies are cooking well;)

That's a bit harsh candygirl, I breastfed DD till she was 3 and had plenty of nights out!

As a peer supporter we often find mothers who want to breastfeed but come under pressure from family members to formula feed...

Glad the scan went well though and everything is ok.

Whoops sorry,I'm not harsh at all, but you'd have to know my DD to fully understand what I meant.Can't be bothered explaining right now as it's been a very long day, week month in fact.I've gone from being a prospective nana with DD living with her bf to having her living here in the space of a week, plus am nursing my terminally ill Dad so am very very stressed and tired.I'm not knocking breast feeding at all, but know I would be left to pick up the pieces a lot of the time:o

It's ok, I can't begin to imagine how hard it is for you at the moment... I hope I didn't come across as judgemental. xx
