I'd love to have a go at making my own, so yes please!Does anyone here ferment anything? My shopping is due today and in it are the ingredients for a new batch of Kimchi

It's $8.50 for a smallish tub here, although saying that, sometimes the cabbage you need costs that much too
I did see a pre made sauce you just add to the salted veg, in my local oriental supermarket (which is huge and awesome, and I usually spend too much money in 
) which sounded interesting.
If anyone wants a good laugh today, go take a look at the 'What is the weirdest pregnancy craving you've had' thread in off-topic - I'm on a conf call and had to mute myself as I keep laughing out loud. Someone ate their midwife notes! 
I buy this kimchi. It is sold at a local Saturday market along with his other products- sauerkraut, dill pickles and onions. It’s available from Waitrose now. All highly recommended.

Omg you’re so cute haha, just catching up on this thread this was a lovely message to read
I’m absolutely shattered I don’t know how women in the Jack thread carried round 10lb babies, their poor backs!Ed is shooketh at the whole ordeal the midwives had to get him a seat by the window the other day and put his head between his legs during the birth plan because he had a funny turn hearing about the placenta. This morning he was horrified to learn me and baby share blood, and he thought collestrum harvesting involved him injecting my nipple with a needle to withdraw it like an oil mine so god help me.
Had some crunchy nut for breakfast but now want some orange juice and crunchy ice
I bought two sweet potatoes yesterday - I was just gonna make fries with them is there anything fancy you ladies would rather do?
Aw bless Ed. Possibly best not to show him the placenta then. But reassure him you and baby don't share blood, you have completely separate blood systems. Ouch at the colostrum harvesting Ed style thoughOmg you’re so cute haha, just catching up on this thread this was a lovely message to read

Ha ha I’m screaming with laughter!! My first was 8lb 6 with a big head and my second 9lb 3, the first was more difficult due to being back to back and a big head. So sometimes size may not make a differenceOmg you’re so cute haha, just catching up on this thread this was a lovely message to read

Men (and I say this fondly) sometimes are clueless. Mr Badass is particularly squeamish and had to stay up top, his face when the midwife asked if he wanted to see the baby’s head was a picture. Aww it’s making me feel nostalgic, giving birth is so magical you feel like you could do anything after that 
Eek @heretoreaditall2019 i felt a bit faint reading your last bit
spoiler as I don’t want to risk putting people off lol

yeah nobody ever thinks of the head size- mine were 6lb odd and 9lb odd but both of them had heads up near the 100th centile line
I have a picture of my placenta (fella took it), couldnt believe how big it was!!
There’s a good Leon recipe where you roast them whole then mash together with chickpeas and cumin and make into a veggie burger, it’s really good!Omg you’re so cute haha, just catching up on this thread this was a lovely message to read

Brilliant bhaji burger | Jamie Oliver burger recipes
Celebrate National Burger Day with this gorgeous veggie burger recipe from Jamie Oliver. Paneer, butternut squash and spices make this a flavour-packed hit.
This recipe by That Man is a wicked veggie burger, it uses squash but we've also made them with sweet potato and a mix of sweet potato and carrot. We make a batch and freeze the extra as they're so yummy, and we're all meat eaters in our house.
Other than that my favourite way to have sweet potato is simply baked, topped with sour cream/crème fraiche and sprinkled with chilli flakes
I’ve never been pregnant so I wouldn’t know, maybe it would be goodI thought you were talking about placentas there for a second
This is my favourite way to have sweet potatoes:
Ottolenghi’s sweet potato wedges with lemongrass creme fraiche
Another recipe from the wonderful cookvook Plenty by Yotam Ottolenghi. This book is a good influence on me, I am eating more vegs than ever before. And I certainly needed someone to introduce veget…

But I freely admit it requires you to have some FANCY ingredients hanging around.
Otherwise, nothing wrong with sweet potato fries (except that they give me an earworm, as my other half sings 'Sweeet potatoooo friesss' to the tune of 'Sweet Caroline' everytime we eat them). Coating them in salt, pepper, paprika and a bit of semolina/polenta for crunch is nice too.
Omg do we not share blood?! That’s my fault for being an idiot then! I had an antenatal class where they spoke about that p injection in your thigh and said that it crosses over to baby that’s why they don’t like doing it late in so I assumed it was all the same stuff!Aw bless Ed.

You poor thing!veggie burgers look fun, thank you! I’ve grown weary of Linda McCartney. Does anyone remember how bad her stuff used to be? It was always very greasy and bread-y? In the 90s I remember fearing it!
I love sweet potato. In Nigella Express, she sprinkles cinnamon on them before roasting and it really works.
For lunch I’m eating about 20 mini sausage rolls and I’m taking the eldest for a McFlurry after his last day at primary school today. So clearly nutrition is low on the list today.

Pethidine?
You and baby have separate blood systems but the placenta transfers nutrients, oxygen and removes waste between the two systems. Some things are small enough to pass through the placenta membrane Inc drugs so that's why pethidine would effect baby too. I'm a bit of a placenta geek, always fascinated by them (midwife not weirdo)
You're not an idiot, when I had my first before I was a mw I was shocked when the mw told me I had to birth my placenta. I thought it came out with the baby, a bit like a backpack

Also, I am loving your username.
ETA: I feel like I should stop using HOOT on non-Jack Monroe threads. It makes me sound slightly deranged.
Mine is too, had a quaver, spinach and mustard sandwich for lunch and I'm not ashamed
