The Pregnant Womans Moan Thread.

I don't think I've ever asked someone "any stir". Like that's Silly, they will get in touch when there is news.
I might say it to a family member if I met them in town, but more of a how is x's wellbeing rather than a question I know the answer to already!

Kildareash, it's not something I would ever ask anyone either, but from the number of texts, phone calls and emails my husband and I got last year we seem to be in the minority.

18 weeks pregnant now and we still haven't told family. We're seriously considering being extremely vague about when the baby is due, as in, out by months because we nearly cracked up last time between the irritating enquiries and the other day-to-day stress we were dealing with in that last few weeks.

What's wrong with burgers? You can have a burger can't you.

Omg me too!!! I've actually been sitting here in work looking at the Eddie Rockets menu......

Kash

I bloody hope so! I've been eating them throughout my pregnancy!
I do over cook the burgers though...

iguana

I've googled and it's apparently fine once they are well cooked. And as a result we are having burgers for dinner this evening. And sweet potato wedges.

Kash

Hmm, my moan: I don't have burgers and sweet potato

iguana

My husband was sent to Tesco.

Mink

I'd give my husbands left nut for a massive wedge of Brie right now.

Actually a sushi starter, rare steak dinner, mousse for dessert & then the Brie after with crackers.

I guess Caprilicious has graduated the moans thread !

notsobusy

God I am starving.....think I'm going to have a burger for lunch!!! Have to wait till 2 till I can get anything to eat though......:(

oohhh.... Pate, or scallops or mussels as a starter, rare steak with loads of blood, bottle of red wine, tiramsu for dessert, brie and stilton with crackers...mmmmmm

There is so much I'm gonna eat in about 3 weeks time! Couldnt give a toss about alcohol really except for a taste of a nice red wine from time to time, but really miss my grub.

It really pisses me off having to have "well done" everything. I like my steak to be mooing!

I've been eating occasional mussels, was I not meant to? Oops!

To be honest, I'm not much of a drinker, but I miss being able to have more than one glass of wine/beer. It's the fact that I'm not allowed that makes me want to go out and get sh1tfaced haha. I told OH that as soon as I'm well enough after the birth I'm going out on the tear (I won't of course as I never really did anyway, haven't been properly drunk in years) but it's just the fact of it being "banned" that makes me want to do it.

Must be an "apple in the garden of eden" complex thing.

notsobusy

I've been having the odd drink here and there, mostly glasses of red wine but it gives me severe indigestion so don't really bother anymore

I'm not a big drinker anyway. If you cook the soft cheese like cheese on toast it's supposed to be fine!

cyning

Okay I know some of this isn't banned but I've developed massive aversions since I got pregnant sooo....

French Onion Soup followed by a well done steak (hey I like mine well done!) with chips, garlic butter and loads of fried onions, and homemade bailey's cheesecake

Oh and goats cheese and brie.

And a massive 99: I could murder an icecream cone! And a soft runny egg :P

Also could the acidy heartburn that is making me puke please please feck off

Kash

Goats cheese, drizzled with honey and walnuts - rare steak with fois gras and truffle topping, and merringue. Followed by roquefort and brie. And a glass of champagne... my imagination has no limit on it's credit card.

And eggs and soldiers - hard boiled eggs are oh so crap.

notsobusy

I am starving, was only supposed to be working till 2 but now am working till 5. I don't mind but a client came in earlier and now I have to hang around the office till he comes back and I can tell him that I'm off for lunch and that the boss will be back tomorrow morning......sodding starving.

Practically drooling over the thoughts of steak and french onion soup.....:(

Betsie_xr3i

oh my god a soft boiled egg is all i want to eat i can't wait for one :-)

Oh stop, now you have me drooling! A soft boiled egg with soldiers!

I've had two white wine spritzers since I found out I was pregnant. We've had a few dinner parties and I've put out a wine glass for myself but then changed my mind.
I don't think I've ever drank as much in a short period of time as I did before I found out I was pregnant. I was convinced the queasy feeling I had was a three day hangover. I think the shock of finding out I was pregnant then put the fear of god in me.

I think mussels and other shellfish are ok once they are well cooked. The same with soft cheeses, so you could have a baked camembert, deep fried brie or toasted goats cheese as long as you let it bubble a bit under the grill.

It's the opposite of what belongs on this thread but yesterday's burgers were honestly the best I've ever eaten.

Neyite

The first thing I'm gonna have coming home with baby is a soft fried egg double decker sambo with butter and a little sprinke of salt...all that gooey yolkey yumminess getting my sammich all sticky...

With mussels and other shellfish its to do with the ones that are bad getting in accidently with the good stuff so easily. I dont think that if you have a well cooked mussel that was bad it makes a difference- you'll still get sick.

I am totally craving the stuff I wouldnt even bother with much normally...

notsobusy

I want to eat my hand I am so hungry 55 mins till lock up time. Fried egg sandwich....so cruel.

Lads I'll be honest I've been eating fried eggs and soft boiled eggs. Duh head me didn't realise that that meant it was uncooked so sad now.

Betsie_xr3i

oh all i want now is a boiled egg, i think we should stop talking about what we can't have x

Saurelin

i asked my doc and midwife about eggsand they said if they are slighty soft its ok

iguana

Sickness back.:(

cyning

Oh Iguana I know that feeling :mad:

I'm exhausted from having to get up to get sick at night... I'm shattered and pukey, And I want a shower but on my own and can't go for one cause really not well enough right now

I'm waiting for my very easy non-painful labour, and a baby that sleeps through the night from the start after it

KD3107

Dear god the leg cramps have started 5 o'clock this morning, took twenty minutes to get rid of it. The other killer is chronic heart burn, this baby is gona have a gaviscon or fruit rennie logo imprinted on it.:(

iguana

The vomiting has turned into a killer migraine that has been plaguing me since I stopped throwing up yesterday. I can't take anything for it as whenever I take paracetamol I throw up quite quickly afterwards and when I throw up the pain comes back full force. Every so often it goes away for an hour or so and I think it's finally gone and then it comes back at me full force. I took a bath a while ago and it eased but I can feel it building up again now and I want to cry. Worst of all it's my husband's birthday and I've treated him to a shít day of me being a grumpy moaner who handed him his presents this morning while lying on my side, faced away from him in a dark room.

Also lukewarm baths are crap.:mad:

cyning

Agh iguana you sound like me a few months ago: when your puking migraines are so much worse esp if your a bit dehydrated from vomiting: I used try heat patches on my neck or a hot water bottle, and then migraleve cooling patches on my forehead. It's so so difficult it doesn't get rid but it did help abit.

I really really hope it eases off

I'm so tired I cant even moan tonight!

Mink

I really hope you feel better soon Iguana and that this isn't something you have to put up with for the duration!

Yeah my baby is coming out fruit flavoured I think.

iguana

Migraine day 3. I used to get menstrual migraines or occasional tension headaches before but they never lasted past a day before. I feel like cracking up. I have to get out of bed in a minute to go to a birthday lunch some friends are making for my husband and I really hope I manage to get through today. I'd give anything for a piping hot bath to soothe my neck and shoulders followed by a pair of industrial strength migraine pills and a chance to sleep it off.

notsobusy

Indigestion is really get to me. Bought some lemon flavoured gaviscon tablets this morning and they are revolting but all I have so sticking it out.

The peppermint flavoured Gaviscon liquid is also revolting.....running out of ideas

Betsie_xr3i

oh the heartburn is killing me the last few days i can't get rid of it :-(

fitzcoff

Ahh piles and heartburn!!!!

I just couldn't get comfy in the bed last night. Had to go to the chemist first thing this morning

Roll on the end of June

Mink

I'm pretty sure I'm going through a box & 1/2 to 2 boxes of the fruity rennies a week :eek:

Fun pregnancy list! What order do you list your favourite Rennie flavours? Mine are blackcurrant, orange, strawberry and lastly lemon which is too Lemsip like.:p

Betsie_xr3i

for me it has to be blackcurrent, strawberry, orange and then the lemon if i am desperate as i don't like them x

Mink

Favourite is orange, then strawberry, lemon and then blackcurrant (not fond of last two but they are still far superior to the dreaded Gaviscon tablets or minty tablets).

Maybe we should post a collection of the ones we don't like to someone else that enjoys them & vice versa :pac:

Neyite

I've only started to get acid indigestion in the last week or so. Monster bottle of the Aniseed Galviscon Advanced formula, its really thick and a bit ick but it does the job.

... I'm developing a fine set of Cankles.

Lola92

Paying a quick trip in here to get rid of the broodiness!

You can get tablets in the chemist for heartburn & indigestion called Remegel. They are chewy like sweets and come in mint and summer fruit flavour. I found them great for the heartburn and they taste pretty nice too!

notsobusy

Someone reccommended Bisodol to me today? Or I think it was Bisodol. My brain is mush at the moment so can't remember anything!

Betsie_xr3i

im willing to try anything now at the moment to get rid of the heart burn

kildareash

I had it pretty bad a while ago, but I was talking a stomach tablet for excess acid before I got pregnant.

It's not easy but I found finding the root of the problem (or one of them) helped big time. For me it was onions.

Also, sleeping sitting up or in a semi propped up position keeps the acid down and i found milk helps to neutralise it.

Unfortunately there is no cure tho because its just the muscle relaxing, these r just things that helped me

iguana

According to my mum, her number one heartburn relief was vanilla ice-cream. It didn't take it away but she said it eased it a lot. I'm still too nauseous for sweet things (and the last time I had ice-cream, 4 days ago, it ended very badly ) but it might be useful to someone who isn't still getting sick. And it will taste nicer than rennies.

Betsie_xr3i

oh thanks ladies i must try ice cream i like that idea

silly

I had heart burn all last week - at the same time every day.....
then at the weekend i had none...so i realised it was my mommy's delicious brown bread that was giving me the heartburn as i had been having it for my lunch all last week.
I dont have any heart burn anymore thank god.
Can ye girls try and pin point a particular food to the heart burn??

surime

Healthy diet, not any ice cream!
