oh and thank you for your stories girls, its made me feel a little better about it all. im having a bit of cramping tonight, every time i sneeze or blow my nose which is alot because i have a cold lol but hoping its all fine. im sure hte doctor will say not to worry
Yeah, even better is that DH just got his annual performance review... 'Performance is satisfactory when he attends'?!?!?! I am FUMING. What, like he shows up three days a week if he feels like it? Are you kidding me?! The poor sap works 10-hour days five days a week (unless he is literally too ill to get out of bed, most sick days he takes he doesn't even get a doc's cert because he truly cannot get out of bed and go to the doctor to get a certificate) and takes whatever OT he can get!! I've just about had it with this 'new' (not that new, but has only been there a couple of months) manager kicking DH when he's down, but for some reason he loves the brown-nosing, lazy bastard who 'is keen to help others' (yeah, because it means he gets out of whatever menial task he's *meant* to be doing so he can go and suck up to more senior employees and make himself look good)
Had another antenatal check today - stupid midwife has ever-so-kindly adjusted my due date for me, despite the fact that two separate u/s techs have provided the same date AND I know the day I stopped taking the Pill and therefore believe I have a more accurate idea of when I'm due... I mean, it's only been adjusted by three days, but it's only because some idiot must have misheard me say 'May 24' and wrote 'May 21' at some point in my book - every other record states 'May 24', but apparently having it repeated fifteen times isn't good enough for this midwife, it MUST be the 21st because she saw it written ONCE...
Ugh. Effing public system. Sooo glad I'm not having any more kids, I refuse to put myself through this crap ever again!!
I think I've been having Braxton Hicks tonight... ate a big dinner and then was sitting on the verandah with DH having a ciggie and just about fell over lol... he kept making me laugh and that made it worse hehehe
I feel so sick!! Is that normal with BH/labour?? I was induced with DD so I have no idea what first-stage labour, or BH feels like :/
Lol sorry for the rant, chickies... just needed to get that off my chest hahah How's everyone else doing?
Mum2Maddie, its a normal thing to happen. I get it too, its the tightening and stretching of the lower stomach muscles and ligaments. Its the same muscles that can pull out of alignment if you lift something way too heavy, and get a hernia. When you have to sneeze or blow your nose, bend your waist, curling your tummy up. It doesn't hurt that way.
GothMum, that totally sucks! My DF just quit his job because his boss personally doesn't like him, so reduced his hours to less than 8 a week. Which is so unfair! Now we're both looking for work, with a baby on the way. Sigh, oh well, things will come good soon.
Yeah Mum2Maddie, I get the same thing (cramping/that awful pain when sneezing, twisting the wrong way etc)... hopefully it's nothing to worry about
Aww echidna, that sucks... I had the same problem when I was working at Sanity a few years ago, one particular girl there had it in for me and kept telling the area manager (who only came to town maybe once every three months to check on us) things that weren't true (hahaha apparently I was offering to burn CDs and give them to customers who were too cheap to order them in, wtf?! among other things) and she just cut my hours down to zero until one day she called me and said, 'Oh well you haven't worked for so long we're deleting you off the payroll' - ie, 'You're fired' lol... I was spewing over that for soooo long...
Got my fingers crossed for you guys, don't worry something good will come along when you least expect it - darkest before the dawn, etc. It's always happened like that for DH and I Chin up!!
Donna - ABC childcare did that to my bestie. It is actually illegal but she didnt bother fighting because she hated her boss. That's why I flatly refuse to ever use them.
thanks for the reassuance girls with the tummy pains. thats pretty much what hte doc said too. but god it can be so painful.
sorry to hear about your partners job echidna, hope you both find jobs soon
doctor said all was well with me and to come see him next week after the ultra sound and then we will talk about booking into the hospital which im very excited about because it will feel more real.
well hope your all well
Oh no Echidna, maybe he could look into being one of those labourers for hire or something???? thats how my DP got his full time job, but that was like 5 years ago. GL to u both, its so not something u need to be worrying about right now.
GothMum- Some midwives are just stupid, i never went through midwives, i saw my doc who is also an OB the whole way through, never stepped foot in the hosp after my booking in app until i was in labour Not long to go now, u must be getting so excited?? OMG about ur old job, What a &%^&% some ppl are just rude.
I went up to the family resouce centre yesterday and a lady is coming out next week to help me get charli into a proper routine, i explained to her hows its really hard cause alyssa has kinder and we only have one car etc and she said she'd come to my house and do very in depth personal routine for us and even help me get charli to stay asleep, she says half hour naps arent long enough, getting her down is easy its gettign her to sleep for longer than half hour at a time during the day which is the hard part.
