Hello Ladies and getting to know you

[BabyMagic]

Hi Everyone,

I am another one who has been reading the forum occassionally. As I'm now on a maternity leave I thought to join the fun! So hello everyone!

So far, if I've had an issue with my pregnancy, I've found that someone else has already posted a threat about it! So thank you for your advice so far (even though you didn't know that you had helped me out).

I thought it would be fun to get to know you a bit better so perhaps you could answer the questions below:

1) tell me something that not many people know about you?
2) the happiest thing about your pregnancy at the moment?
3) the least favourite thing about your pregnancy at the moment?
4) are you exercising? if yes, what?
5) your favourite holiday destination?

My answers would be:
1) I used to be a party animal in my late teens/early twenties (and now live a boring, yet happy, life!)
2) when my OH gets excited about the baby moving and speaks to her!
3) trouble with sleeping due to feeling uncomfortable, I didn't sleep well last night and then had TWO naps today (hence not tired atm and still online!)
4) walking and swimming, pelvic floor, struggling with perineal (oops, don't think that's exercise though!)
5) New Zealand

hello.........im sarah!!!

1) theres not much not many people know about me as my mother in law from hell makes sure everyone knows everything even things that arent true! typical!
2)the best bit of my pregnancy at the moment is feeling all the kicks and my hubby putting his head on bump and getting a good old kick in the head - was very funny as he jumped!
3)worst bit is the hip pains and aches between my legs not very nice stops me doin much with the day
4)pelvic floor cant do much else due to hip pain - MW said it was sciatica but it is getting worse so need to ask GP about it. i try to walk a bit everyday though as my son goes to pre school so i detour on my way home with my daughter in the buggy so atleast i can lean on the buggy if i need to.
5)my fave holiday destination is mauritius as thats where most of my family on my mums side live. gorgeous beaches but i love the culture and the urban bit!

i think thats about it really. well as you can tell i moan a bit and i tend to go on and on.
i love having something in common with everyone on this forum. its fab!

Hello! I am glad you decided to come and join us

1) tell me something that not many people know about you?

I LOVE the Eurovision Song Contest. I am also a closet Neighbours fan...people would be surprised at that because I really really hate soap operas (Eastenders, Corrie and the like), but Neighbours is different, a happy, cheesy world of it's own


2) the happiest thing about your pregnancy at the moment?

Reaching term today and knowing it isn't going to be too long before I meet my little one

3) the least favourite thing about your pregnancy at the moment?

Getting uncomfortable on the evenings.

4) are you exercising? if yes, what?

I regularly move my arm in a repeated back and forth motion between the fridge and my mouth - does that count?

5) your favourite holiday destination?

Thailand without a doubt.

[BabyMagic]

Thanks for your replies.

Georgie Lass - I love Switcherland too, but I prefer going there in summer (I had enough of cold winters as a child!)

3rdbaby_duemay23rd - you are lucky to have family living in a hot country!

Happybunny - I love the Eurovision song contest too. I used to watch it every year as a child. Mind though I was a bit embarrassed about Lordi winning two years ago as I am from the same country where they come from!

Inforabumpyride - haha about your nipples! I have the ugliest belly button, for some reason it has bruised (not to mention it has popped)...

Babybee - I know you possibly meant toy ducks but here is a photo for you (my brother and I as kids with our 'friends')

Mummetmummy - your due date is a day before mine. Exciting!

We don't really do holidays per se. Can't say I have a favourite place. Australia was cool, so was a summer spent on the east coast of the US, Italy always. But then I adore Dartmoor and can happily spend days there (used to live there)

I'm really embarrassed about it as well, not even my hubby knows about it! I was really crap and never practised and used to get told off by my teacher every week. I'd feel sick the night before a clarinet lesson I dont know why i didnt just give it up!!

haha! you sound like me. I only ever passed grade 1 because I hardly ever practised at home. I used to do it because my clarinet lessons clashed with maths lessons (which I hated and loved the chance to get out of!) and I'd get time out of school to play at concerts and stuff. It was basically an opportunity to skive!
We were also allowed to mess around in the music rooms at lunch time which was great when it was cold and wet outside
