Hey Marg, so glad things are better!

Poor doggy and poor you! Unfortunately he prob hasn't learned his lesson!
No idea about the poop but when my dogs have a bad tummy the intestines produce mucus. It's a reaction to inflammation I think.

Went for a swim with OH, was great apart either I trapped a nerve or got some sort of hemmoroid prob as I had this shooting pain in my bum and down my leg... Was a bit annoying but managed to swim through it.
The pain is still there now when I walk and I had it once before because of the constipation so might just be another pregnancy delight

How is everyone?

 

[SBB]

I like swimming! Hope your butt feels better

Man I am in such a shit mood this afternoon!

Danny is out for the night, now do I have mushroom risotto (he hates it so I usually have when he's out, but it's quite a lot of effort!) or home made potato wedges? Much easier but not particularly healthy! Although I'm not sure how healthy risotto is either!

X x x

 

[babyloulou]

I think home made wedges are healthier than risotto to be honest! (assuming is a full-fat cream and all risotto??) wedges aren't unhealthy done in the oven. I'd definitely vote for those with garlic, salt and chilli on!! Yum!! X

V- how's your leg now? I got loads of sciatica-type pains throughout the pregnancy! X

I googled the mucous poo thing. NHS Direct said to "see a GP TODAY" as it can be a sign of a serious intestine problem. The rest of google results though were saying it can happen because of a virus but should only be a one off and needs urgent attention if it carries on- so I'll see if he gets anymore tomorrow and take him if he does x

 

[SBB]

No the risotto doesn't have cream in, just mushrooms, wine, risotto rice, more mushrooms, water and Parmesan. But you're probably right! I think I feel like risotto though!

Hmmm def take him to the doc if there's any more of it tomorrow then...

X x x

 

[Euronova]

Another trip to the doc then.... I hope he hasn't got anymore tomorrow.

I am completely stuck I can't walk or stand up straight... I think I trapped a nerve... So annoyed! I think it happened as I went down the ladder in the pool, I had no pain before and it started immediately in the pool... Who manages to injure themselves in the pool, I feel so annoyed.
Just had 2 toast with nutellla and asked OH to bring back wagamama... So pissed off! I really hope it disappears after a night sleep otherwise what do I do??!!

 

[SBB]

Ouch V it sounds kind of like sciatica or pgp but it's early for that so maybe it's just an injury that will heal... Do you have a tens machine?

X x x

 

[babyloulou]

I hope it's not pregnancy sciatica or pgp hitting this early V Like Suz says hopefully it's just an injury that will be gone soon xx

 

[Euronova]

No but I wanted to get one (didn't plan to get one that early though!), would it just help with the pain or can it help unlocking things. Getting quite worried, it seems to be worse on my left side (I.e. lifting my left leg or turning left) I cannot stand straight but once I am straight it's fine... Just every tiny mouvement gives me a shooting pain in my bum, actually it seems between my anus and back bone.... Will try some back stretches...
Was so happy I finally made it to the gym... what a mess

 

[SBB]

I think it will just help with the pain V not actually fix it

I made risotto (it's yum!) with wine and I smelt the wine, I forgot how bloody lovely it is! Now I'm gagging for a glass of cold white!

X x x

 

[SBB]

V there's some maternity stuff on sale here https://polarnopyret.co.uk/all-pop-maternity/pg-2 including cheap jeans / leggings xx

 

[Euronova]

Thanks will have a look now. It seems my pain would have started with the first breast stroke I took and that's a classic SPD sign
Hopefully it will just be a one off and tomorrow will be better. Otherwise I am good to go to the osteo and hope for the best!

 

[Peach Blossom]

His name is Barney...

V, sorry about the pain. Have you tried going on all fours, do big circles, stretching your back out. Hope it gets better.

Lou, sorry about Ben's mucous poo. Our babies seem to be constantly ill!! Hope it was a one off.

Suz, I'm sat having a glass of wine...

I've just been to another counselling session with Joe... I asked him to move some of his stuff out. He's thinks it's too soon for a divorce... WTF?!! Anyway we agreed that he would move his stuff out and go to a few more counselling session before we start the divorce proceedings... Not sure how I'll cope on Sunday when I come back to his stuff gone... So tough.

 

[Euronova]

I can't believe he is still trying to call the shots! It will be hard to notice his stuff go e but soon it will be easier than having them under your nose all the time.
What does the counsellor says of his attitude?
Are you getting anything positive at all from the counselling?

Felt so positive and energetic today. Thought I was going to finally get back into my gym routine. I am in so much pain now. I can't do anything but sit or lie down really knocked me back for six
Caved in and took a paracetamol, I had swore not to take anything chemical (why not drink or avoid dying your hair if you are going to pop medications all the time... Unless you really have to)... Feeling so annoyed please please all keep everything crossed that a good night sleep will sort me out!

 

[babyloulou]

I really hope it's just an injury V. I had SPD pains and hip pains from my arthritic hip during the 2nd and 3rd Tri. I ended up finishing work early at 27 weeks and having physio - it was nowhere near this early though - hopefully it's just a pull of your new sensitive joints xx

Jess- god Joe really takes the piss! (and I hope you are spying and reading that you saddo!) does he know about your "date"??? Is the counselling doing anything at all? Does it feel productive? It's not depressing you even more is it?

Suz- I'm drinking a glass (or two) of white in honour of you too!!

 

[babyloulou]

Is anybody watching the program on channel 4 about the Tsunami in Japan? Its eye witness accounts caught on amateurs cameras. It's so sad...

 

[Euronova]

Suz- I am totally with you on the drink! I had a micro sip of the champagne at our wedding venue... It was so nice and fresh... I could feel my mouth watering just looking at Oliver drinking it... I saw an ad for a non alcoholic wine in one of te pregnancy mag... Must be disgusting but I do wonder if it might be nice!

 

[babyloulou]

The darn dog has messed up Ben's new sleeping with his palaver last night! Ben's been up 5 times since 7 and is fighting massively! Nearly 12 months to get him sleeping... then one greedy Labrador and it's all gone to shit in one night!!!

 

[Euronova]

Poor you, hopefully he will fall asleep! Does make me laugh... Such a typical naughty retriever thing...
Fingers crossed Ben gets back to sleeping better x

 

[babyloulou]

Yeah - Piper has managed to figure out how to open the composter in the garden tonight though and has eaten a cauliflower head, a rotten bag of cabbage leaves, 4 rotten sweet potatoes and a bag of carrot ends so we may have the same problem tonight!! 2 years that composter's been there and he's never bothered! Its sealed for gods sake!

He's so "trained" food wise- won't eat from his own bowl until you release him to it, will "leave" a treat until told ok, etc.. - he's always been greedy but he's got so food obsessed since we had Ben! Ste jokingly mentioned it to the vet at his injections the other week and the vet (who's a big behavioural expert apparently!) said "spoilt dogs" ( ) will always have awful jealousy with babies that will manifest itself in some way. He said Ruudi is showing it by "ageing" fast and becoming ratty - and a non-agressive dog like piper is showing it with food and stealing!!

Both dogs were fine with the newborn though- it's since he's been on the move and my every single waking second is taken up by him that they don't like it!!

I feel sorry for them but I'm still going to wire Piper's jaw shut tomorrow!!!

Get some pro-kolin online. It works absolute miracles on dogs' tums. Any time they eat something naughty I squirt a bit in their mouths and it usually helps everything go through. Same for diahorrea or vomiting, it really helps.
It seems so hard to manage everything, I hope OH will manage to keep helping with the dogs and hopefully we will manage. You mentionned Ste helps a lot with yours too...
