No BS Mum?

Yes, I know, the web address is effectively (and purposely) 'Nobs Mum', but I do love an innuendo! The #SusanAlbumParty hashtag wasn't a PR stunt by Susan Boyle's record company at all was it?! ;)(..'anal bum party'.. remember it when her latest album at the time came out? No, I guess many of you wouldn't!)

So, why 'No BS Mum'? As I write this first ever post I sit here with an ever-expanding stomach (which still, on occasion, - depending on the top I'm wearing -  doesn't look quite big enough to be a baby belly and so I receive daily disapproving looks that say "keep off the pies, love!") - I'm currently 22 weeks pregnant and am finding myself in a whole world of baby BS (yes, that's BullShit).

For example, yes, I know, it's dangerous to Google any symptoms of any ailment, pregnancy or not, but in finding myself randomly searching 'when will I feel it move?' or 'bum pain', 'constipation' and the like, I am faced with a never ending torrent of utter BS from all over the world. If I believed everything I read online and across all the ridiculous mum and baby forums, everything ends in a miscarriage or of course the obligatory brain tumour.

There's that and then there's those that can only write in text speak, or 'baby forum speak' - to those of you who may not have come across this, here's an example, "Did the BD today" (that's 'baby dance' apparently, ie. sex - Christ, it's 2016 isn't it, surely we all know babies come from S.E.X??!!) Or there's, "AF came today...gutted" - that's 'Aunt Flo' ie. her period. Surely in a forum that's all about babies, the 'art' of baby making and all the bloody palaver of it, where people are discussing their deepest private matters to complete strangers, people can allow themselves to tell it like it is eg....

.."Have been at it like rabbits for the last week ...but to no avail...came on my period like the bloody Niagara today..ah well, must try harder, where's that husband gone?" But then, that's just me ;)

For now, the days are gone where I would Google 'going out dresses', 'nights away', 'restaurants in...', because I'm quite simply well and truly cream crackered. But I refuse to be a baby or pregnancy bore and just wanted to write a little something from the heart, something a little fun, with a no BS approach, and to keep myself entertained (and hopefully a few more along the way) in the process. Comment, laugh with me, share with me and with others.

Welcome to NoBS Mum. I've a kiev in the oven so I'm off for that but back soon...
