who's treating themselves over c'mas?
who's being naughty and ahving a couple of things they probably shouldnt ahve?
Im not eating peanuts but will be ahving...
brandy butter......christmas cake/pudding which have been spiked with alcohol! also have a small amount of warm mulled wine that i will slowly sip!
tempted to tell family...they cant drink wine cos im not allowed it lol!
Im 16wks but havent told family yet. Decided not to until cmas unless i start showing before. hubby and I keep ourselves to ourselves and therefore we are not people who like to be centre of attention etc. Not looking forward to my families shreking reaction when we tell them!!
how did everybody elses parents react?
Look forwad to hearing your replies...take care xxx

I don't like brandy butter anyway, but its ok to have xmas pud as most of the alcohol gets burnt off whilst its being cooked, if anything its quite good for you coz its mainly dried fruit.
I couldn't have waited til 16wks coz I already had a huge bump by then and could only wear maternity bottoms!x
I have treated my self to a miniture baileys to have on xmas say with ice!!!
But thats all really as i will be 32 weeks next monday.

I will treat myself to v small gls of weak wine (lambrini perhaps) as xmas treat - really really want peanuts but as hubby allergic i best not!!!!
I might just treat myself to another one on christmas day whether baby is here or not.. I've had a bottle in the cupboard for months that hubby bought me for after baby is here..just need to remember to get some lemonade!
I told my parents about the pregnancy after we'd been for the 12 week scan when they were in poland tracking down family.. it amused me to tell my mother that she'd need to be adding one more to the family tree..the timing was great! Hubby told parents over the phone cause they live away. No way I'd have told them face to face... I'd rather keep myself to myself and not have to deal with in my face reactions!
I've had a couple of peanut butter sandwiches in the last few weeks, they were so good it was worth the guilt!
think i might indulge in a glass of wine on xmas day as well, bad mummy!!

I'm fairly convinced that my lactose intolerance has its roots in the 3 or 4 years that my parents were pretty much dairy free when my mum was told she probably had a dairy allergy (she didn't... they were just fobbing her off!!)
I'd be interested to know what the connection between peanuts and asthma/exzma is to be honest!!
Someone posted this link before but i agree, it kind of makes sense that you need to expose babies to things to build up resistance - see link about eating peanuts http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,91168-1285008,00.html - it supports what Crotchet Mom says.
I will have a glass of wine and christmas pud etc cos the alcohol is burned off. Non alcoholic Becks is quite nice for those wanting something other than fruit juice!!! (i think someone on here mentioned it already) . I will miss cheese and pate this year . All worth it though - am really excited about Christmas this year - Merry Christmas! x
Weird isn't it how allergies/intolerances can come on later on in your life.. I think I was about 25/26 when the lactose intolerance started to kick in - just took a long while to figure out what it was and then sort my immune system out - doctors weren't much help and I had to get stroppy to get the tests! the dietician on the other hand was fantastic when I finally got to see him.
Bet you have fun being pregnant in summer and unable to take antihistamines!! I got the nasal spray from the docs for hayfever which did keep mine under control..but I don't get hayfever that badly any more fortunately!
i may have a small glass of something alcoholic on Christmas day and NYE but will see how i feel. We are out with parents in law for NYE and they like to drink pink Cava which i love so may have a small glass of that.
All ive had since i found out i was pregnant in August is a very small glass of champange which i took ages to drink and the odd sip of hubby's beer when we have had a curry. Looking forward to the food more than anything!
I've also been indulging in runny boiled eggs - yum!!!!!! I shouldnt have cos I can't get enough of them now and have had them 3 times in about a week oops...I've been loving pickled onions as well and suck the vinegar off a spoon, I'm sure that can't be good for my teeth!
I'll probably have a few glasses of wine over christmas but won't go over 2 units a week, a shame, lol. Although saying that, that doesn't count the brandy on the christmas pud
telling my mum i was preg was so funny about a month b4 i fell preg which was a happy accident my mum sat down with me n o/h and both my bros with their girlfriends and told us she was ready to b a nanny and told us all to get a move on lol but we all laughed at her as none of us were trying to get preg !!
i fell preg a month later and went to see her the day we found out i told her to sit down and i gave her the preg test and see kept looking at the test and then at me this went on for about 5 mins lol
she then looked at me and said r u pregnant??? to which i said yes!!!
she then jumped up and hugged me while my step dad got a bottle of champers my mum then hugged my o/h and he said to her "your gonna be a nanny" to which she started crying and screaming lol i will never forget telling my mum her reaction was so funny lol
