I had the lamb I didn't eat last night and some rice for breakfast. Since then I have eaten a, ummmm, number of foamy sweets since then. Good work all round I feel.
Ed is going to get quite the shock when you're giving birth!Omg you’re so cute haha, just catching up on this thread this was a lovely message to readI’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?
Me too!I thought you were talking about placentas there for a second
lmaooo like a backpack, I just laughed and read this out to husband he laughed too but looks slightly haunted behind the eyes in remembrance that the placenta exists. That's amazing you're a midwife btw - and thank you for explaining, yes it was pethidine!! I'm not doing anything weird with mine though like keeping it or using it for arts & crafts.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
AHHH mega babies, is he tall now?! The blood lady said her 9lb 6 baby is 4 now and in 6 year old's clothes!!Ed is going to get quite the shock when you're giving birth!
My son was 9 lbs 3 with a massive head. Still haven't forgiven him
Laughing hard at this.omg sorry guys I've made baby talk happen - I've been told off on another thread for making it like mumsnet so I'll put this all behind a spoiler! It is lovely to chat about though, thank you, especially those that have made me giggle because I was a bit shakey yesterday after thinking about being induced early / slightly heightened risk of a c-section.

The midwives think he's going to be a fainter, I've been back a few times since without him and they've cackled over it all. He absurdly wants to wear a go pro throughout (he's charging all his batteries for the hospital bag as we speak) - I pointed out he will never, ever want to watch the footage again but he's convinced it's a great idea.
Oh, I love Plenty. Please immediately make the roast garlic tart, the aubergines with buttermilk and those sweet potato wedges I linked above upon receipt.Afternoon all, I’m really excited. I’ve been inspired by you lovely bunch and have just ordered Ottoleghi’s ‘Plenty’ and ‘The Green Roasting Tin’. I can’t wait to get them!
Me too. Got a bit squeamishI thought you were talking about placentas there for a second
Perhaps you should ask him if he is definitely sure he wants a first person view of him hitting the deckomg sorry guys I've made baby talk happen - I've been told off on another thread for making it like mumsnet so I'll put this all behind a spoiler!

That’s so good - a relief I’m sure. Boogie like Julia Davis!Perhaps you should ask him if he is definitely sure he wants a first person view of him hitting the deck
I finally managed to get through to my GP (the one who knows me well and takes me seriously) today.
I have been having a concerning issue for the last four months but no one will examine me/keeps telling me it's all nothing and to just cope basically.
The receptionist was so horrid to me this morning I actually cried a bit after I got off the phone, and I am a right hard bitch tbh. But later my Dr called me and she was immediately concerned and is arranging relevant imaging and I'm so happy and grateful fucking hell.
I'm also getting to resume some of my usual hospital treatment next week so I'm just ecstatic tonight

It was so delicious, thank you! I’ve already added more pork to my online shop to make it again next weekOmg @Toffee finger I hope you enjoy the pork, it's great and so easy - it's become my non-cooking boyfriend's signature dish.
Our MWs laughed at it too, tbh his little am dram noises panting and heaving like at the appt the other day would be comedy gold after the fact, so I'm all for him filming hahahaHahaha a go pro. I've never come across that yet. It'll be good for when he does go at the end and you get a good fainting shot
This is lovely news!!Perhaps you should ask him if he is definitely sure he wants a first person view of him hitting the deck

This is lovely news!!
ALSO on the Jack thread - I know she thinks we're all jealous haus frau so I hate perpetuating that myth, but honestly wouldn't you just love to be able to go out and about like that away? I don't think it's a good idea don't get me wrong, but can't help but think how nice would it be to pop into a coffee shop and get a posh hot choc and a pastry and go for a walk around somewhere new! What would you eat/drink if you could have a city break somewhere?

Sainsbury’s four cheese stuffed crust in the frozen takeaway section. We hadn’t had a shop bought pizza for a while after Asda stopped my favourite one but I fancied one the other week so gave that a go. It was lovely! Tried the bbq chicken one at the weekend and that was tasty too.What is everyones fav shop bought pizza?
