Pregnant women

[tedebear]

Some women treat pregnancy as an illness.

some women do get genuinely ill to be fair though... although I agree there are a minority who do take it as an opportunity for and overdose of attention...

however - squeezing a watermelon out of a hose pipe is a fairly mean feat - a little attention wouldn't go astray for the right person... a colleague of mine ran a half marathon when she was 6 months pregnant...and worked up until 2 days before the birth - you wouldn't have know she was up the duff really (except for the bloody great big attachment to her stomach) the amout of stuff she continued to do without so much as a word of distress...

Quality rants from ROBBO. For anyone that hasn't met him, he talks exactly like he types. f***ing NUTTER.

That's just f***ing stupid.

That's just f***ing stupid.

not really - she runs some unbelievable amout of miles a week anyhow so it wasn't an ordeal for her at all.... she has a beautiful healthy daughter now!!

Fair enough. Not sure I'd be happy with my missus doing something like that. I'd rather she sat down with a bottle of claret and twenty Bensons and take things easy.

My Missis nearly died with her first, all three have been ceasars as that's the American way nowadays.

I promise to bring another quality rant to this exact thread 2moro. Not because i have to or feel obliged to, but because there is sure to be something else that gets on my tits 2moro about the said person and subject!

Oh, and for the record, when the sprog is born, it will have to live with the fact that he/she was an ACCIDENT!

Aint that the truth!

It is by the way!

One of the partners at our firm was in work the day before and 12 hours after giving birth.

She's quality.

Everybody should be neutered at birth.
Then undergo intelligence tests if they want to procreate.
We just have to try and reverse the neutering

Should dramatically reduce the population problem.

What is quality about being lucky enough to remain healthy throughout a pregnancy?

Before anyone slates me, I had one very good pregnancy where I felt as fit as a fiddle, didn't have any sickness and really blossomed.

That was my second child, my daughter.

My first pregnancy was dreadful. My sense of smell was extremely sensitive so I can understand the problem with someone's sandwiches. I was throwing up all day and all night for over 4 months and I got the sack, yes, in 1970, I got the sack for being pregnant and there was nothing I could do about it.
I had a threatened miscarriage at 12 weeks (spot on Gunter) and had to rest for a week. I had a letter shoved through my door telling me not to come back to work!!!
Fortunately it was ok and I had a healthy son.

So, just because one pregnancy is great it doesn't make someone quality. They're just lucky.


As for talking about it, well, it is a life changing experience. Why not talk about it?

....cos it's funny?

It's a nappy changing experience too. Still a good friend tells me that it does stop you biting your nails.

Because it gets on everbody elses tits, thats why!

It's called "knowing your audience". I have friends with whom I do talk about fatherhood, but people in my office are - generally speaking - not going to be interested in the fact that I was up twice last night (once because of teething trouble and once because of the need for a bottle), which is why I'm sooooooo tired.

I agree with your comments regarding women "moaning" about their health in pregancy. No doubt some of these intolerant muppets will be the ones in 10 years time all grumbling because "we're getting swamped with immigrants" owing to the fact that our birth rate is dropping because of such social pressures.

You lot should regard youself as bloody lucky you live in such a women-and-baby hating culture like Britain's! This thread has a severe case of the Travis Bickle's about it, thanks heavens psychiatry it still available on the NHS.

Go to Italy, Spain, in fact, let's be honest, anywhere where cold weather doesn't drive the locals a bit mental, and the whole society revolves around young kids!

Have a young kid in this country and you're virtually f***ing barred from going anywhere in a public place after 6pm!

Robbo, admit it, your reference to the fact that the preggars women is "fine", you're just consumed by jealousy and self-loathing that your didn't cause the "accident". Get a grip son and find a nice young bird to get up the duff. Then come on here and make sure you show us all the lovely Bolivian weather maps.

I've already got a bird thanks, and we're not planning to have kids just yet!

And for the record, i'm glad i didn't cause the ACCIDENT, and to say that i am jealous is absolutely comical you

yeah, look at me, i'm so jealous coz i can't whinge about being pregnant everyday! What a BINNER!

And my point was in my opening statement that is was remarkable how as soon as the said person found out she was preggers, all the signs and symptoms suddenly appear. She wasn't exactly complaining before she found out!

So i suggest you get a f***ing grip.


Jesus, some f***ing people!

Robbo, in 10 years time, when your Mrs of the day is grumbling and whinging and 6 months into it, I'll BET *you* will be an absolute crawly bumlick whenever she's around and finding it tough.
