I was just reading about Jump on Amazon, and you've summed it up better than the reviewers could! A little departure from reality is always welcome. I think we'll be needing that even more in the next week or so after LO arrives!!
 
Is anyone else eating like total crap lately? I don't mean the usual sweet cravings that we give into but I mean absolutely awful.

I used to try to make home cooked meals for at least 4 nights a week and lunches at work. Then we'd get carry out or go out to eat the other nights and usually we would eat at decent places and try to get something not too terrible.

Lately I just can't be bothered with cooking, we got Chinese the other day and ordered all of the fried food and greasy stuff. I've been eating tons of cookies and candy every day (currently homemade peanut butter cookies and Reeses peanut butter chocolate eggs). These aren't low calorie items, probably 400 cals each and I have several! It's not that I'm necessarily craving these things, but I'm too lazy to eat real food so have room for all these empty cals.

Just feel like I"m going to turn into even more of a house before little one arrives but I can't stop myself!
 
So the other day I forced DH to check my cervix because I wanted to know what was going on. he said that it was WAY back there and that when he did feel it, it felt flat and mushy.

Afterwards, we found a long white mucus thing on his fingers. I think that ended up being the mucus plug because since is when the cramps started slowly. Also-- i've been losing little bits of more mucus plug.

So tomorrow at my appt i'm going to ask for an exam... just to see if what I think is right... to see if ANYTHING is going on in there, even if it doesn't mean anything!
 
bernina-- I have to say that lately i haven't been very hungry at all lately, but when I am it varies but mostly I like to eat veggies, fruits and lean proteins.

I have another question: does anyone have more severe swelling in one leg than the other... my doula said it's normal especially if the baby prefers one side of the other. My baby is on my left side, and so my right leg is HUGE while my left leg looks semi normal. It really weirds me out!!
 
bernina, i've def felt like eating crap! am still managing to cook semi healthy meals but tonight after having pasta with veggies a sauce and some bacon i'm just properly craved a big bowl of cereal-golden nuggets :haha: and now want biscuits :dohh:. Kinda figured right now i'm overdue and its not fair so will eat what I want :rofl:...watch me regret that in a few wks when i've got rolls! hehe
 
Casey I wish I had your eating habits!

Hope the appt goes well tomorrow and dr performs exam. Can't see why they wouldn't. Hope it shows good progress being made!!!

I have totally been eating horribly over the last couple of days:haha: lol I have done good throughout this whole pregnancy but here recently i have been eating a lot of junk food and going out to eat more than i should!! Just today i went to Krispy Kreme and i have eaten like 3 doughnuts today :blush:

I am considering it a final splurge!!
 
My OH is out at work still at the moment so not a football widow (for a change) however, there is nothing on the tv tonight to keep me entertained while I wait for him.

Not heard of jilly cooper Sazzle but sounds like my kind of book, I love Jilly Mansell, Jodi Picoult, Cecilia Ahern, Jane Green etc......I do occasionally read a 'proper' book and loved the Island by somebody Hislop, that was a great read.
 
That's exactly how I am Caro. I'll manage to eat a decent meal but then top it off with sweets and snacks. Like you said I figure since I'm still pregnant I migh as well indulge and enjoy. I know I'll pay the price afterwards though!!!

Well, let me just say.... I have been craving LOTS of carbs!! Toast, bagels with cream cheese, biscuits... :flower: I don't think it matters.

lets all eat the way we need to! :thumbup:
 
ps I too am eating total and utter crap.....I have nearly finished a pack of chocolate biscuits today!!!

Bernina here in the UK they dont seem to do routine exams, I have not had one although I am booked for my sweep on the 26th if nothing has happened by then

I completely agree!! :)
 
EmmysMommy you've just made me crave Krispie Kreme now!!!!! :) Might have to settle for a cinnabun at the mall later. Must stop eating junk (after baby arrives)
 
Chocojen it's so interesting how different the schedules for exams can be from country to country. I always think of the UK and US as so similar but we're so different on something as basic as prenatal care. Obviously there's no right or wrong just a different approach.
 
haha i've cracked open the custard creams I bought for midwifes and DH to snack on during hb :blush:. Maybe i'll go tonight if we don't have anything to offer them!?

def agree go with whatever we need right now! apparently a lot of women don't eat much in labour so need to stock up in advance :haha:

choco, they don't do exams at all in the uk until you get to sweep stage. And even after my sweep on tues she didn't tell me tones, sort of got info but i didn't overly understand it! hehe. hoping theres some progress on fri when i intend to ask for another! i want this baby out now!
 
Bernina I've also been eating crap, but I can't help it. I can't get enough of peanut butter and jam on toast. Yum. I've heard so much about crispy cremes but have never tried one, they do sound good :)

Good luck tomorrow gem.

I have a mw appointment tomorrow and the lovely sweep. Not looking forward to that but it will be nice to know if anything is happening down there.
