Forgot to say I ate fresh pineapple in the bath too! X

 

[Bunny432]

My MW told me it's the middle of the pineapple you should eat? Mash it up in a blender apparently?

May just go get some fresh pineapple today anyway ! What do you think about it being too late for me to use epu Tessa? xxxx

Good work ladies, glad you're on board. It is an extra powerful moon tonight with it being so close to the Earth and crossing Pisces into Virgo or something I read this morning. Also affecting the gravitational pull and with the babies being in water and the moon effecting that too. Probably why a lot of you are feeling a bit shoddy as its already at work.

Even if it doesn't work, it's fun trying and gives you something to do today x

 

[purplecandy]

I think you'd be best to insert it now Bunny if you're going to try epo. The midwife recommended up to 4 inserted, pricking the end before getting into bed x

I am howling at that picture omg that is friggin hilarious!!! Does your cat always do that?!?!?!

Sorry to day kelly but during my labour i was extremely sick! Not even sickness injections helped. Constantly sick every few minutes for hours as soon as i gave birth it stopped immediately! would not wish it on anyone tho xx

Oh my gosh! That's my worst nightmare total sick-o-phobe! I think I'd be more traumatised by that than the actual labour pain! Was it because you reacted badly to pain relief do you think? I've heard that Gas & air / pethidine makes some people sick? ...

Yes - haha. I trained him when he was 12 wks old - he uses the toilet because he's an indoor cat and doesn't have a litter tray he just meows when he needs it flushing. Only issue we occasionally have is that he forgets he doesn't need toilet roll and seeing as he doesn't have thumbs he just unravels the whole roll and shoves it down there ...

Purple candy What a great idea!! Can I get bonus points as I've also just scrubbed the bathroom inc. tiles from top to bottom and about to do the kitchen floor haha
Xxx

 

[purplecandy]

Yes summer, I agree, any additional scrubbing or strenuous housework gets an extra point x

 

[H16]

Awww Summer your cat has beautiful markings!

I scrubbed kitchen earlier so extra points for me then! Although I can't convince OH to have sex anymore as he too worried about me giving birth now haha so that isn't going to happen even though he told me himself that is what will get baby to arrive! Never mind!

Going to take a bump pic in a mo just incase it is the last chance I get x

 

[hayes]

Summer I'm so sorry to hear that ur scan went so horribly I feel so angry in ur behalf that stupid idiot!! Really going the full moon kicks off everything fir u later.

Loving the cat photos they r brill!!

I hope we have a Labour thread soon so many symptoms so few babies lol.

[Bunny432]

I'm also going to get a bump picture today H

Where can I get epu from? xxxx

 

[H16]

Bit of a comparison then, first pic is 31/32 weeks and second pic is today at almost 38 weeks

 

[Mary Poppins]

Evening primrose oil is from Holland and barrat. Bunny I haven't been brave enough to insert it yet, just been taking it orally. Purple candy did your midwife say it was ok?

Hubby just went to get me clary sage oil and they said not to use until last week of preg as it can cause 'complications.' Well that work is enough to put me off using it for good so have left it. Would rather have a safe birth in a week than do any damage! Just wanted to warn you all xxx

 

[Bunny432]

Eeeeeek love your bump H!

Yeah that's why I've been a bit funny about it and wanted opinions as seen people say it's very potent and apparently on the bottle it says not recommended in pregnancy. Thanks lovely , debating wether to drive to H&B or just leave it now as I'm so late on in my pregnancy xxxx

 

[purplecandy]

Holland and barret I would of thought bunny x

 

[purplecandy]

Yeah my midwife said to take it orally when I asked about it at 35 weeks and said 39-40 weeks to insert it. One of the girls in the class did and on the 2nd night went into labour x

 

[Kelly450]

I remember people being wary of clary sage last time round and I never used it. I only did the rlt and pineapple x

I haven't had any motivation to do a thing! I will go make myself a rlt with some lunch now I think as I'm so hungry after my morning in bed.
Summer, your cat is absolutely hilarious and also very beautiful. My cats are so dull and boring compared to yours lol.
H, love the pics, baby looks right up front xx

I'm going to have a walk during 6.30pm I think

 

[purplecandy]

Love the fact the cat uses the toilet, fab pics. Loving the bump pics too! Yeah everyone must take a bump pic this weekend

Anyone used/going to be using arnica after birth? I feel like a right hippy with all the supplements and things lol. My friends call me an Earth Child haha x

 

[Mary Poppins]

Oh thanks for the advise purple candy... I am sure a woss, still wondering....man up tess!

Fab bump h, it's like you can see a proper baby in there!! X

 

[hayes]

Fab bump h. I have arnica tablets for after birth recommended by mw n my friend for the healing.

Been out this morn with Harry n went on this little train(God knows what I was thinking) and that really hurt my back n baby didn't like it at all really pushing down etc!!

[Bunny432]

My friend from this forum (Lulu) massively recommended arnica! She said it's helped her loads!

I've scrubbed the kitchen, had 2 RLT's, bounced on ball for half an hour so far, will watch the football on the ball too. Tonight going to order a curry for tea, my old assistant manager said madras should do the trick I don't think I could handle a vindaloo and then DTD tonight. After football I might clean our bedroom stick some music on and dance like a nutter too! See if I can fit a walk in when OH is back too xxxx

 

[Mary Poppins]

Don't really know about arnica except it can bring out bruising. What do you do take a tablet to help your foof heal? X
