DH is going away on a camping trip on the weekend - I think that is great and he deserves to spend time with his mates and enjoy himself BUT I have an issue..
I REALLY struggle when he is away- I used to b fine BEFORE being Preg - I would miss him but I could enjoy my own company. Now I find that Im a blubbering mess from the second that he leaves till the second he gets back - and its no fun for me and I know it makes DH not have as good a time as he deserves.
Its only for a few nights - SNAP OUT OF IT WOMAN AND GET A GRIP - but I find I cant! I know its prob just being preg and it makes you all over the place emotionally - but I cant help it.
Does anyone feel like this when preg or a I a weirdo?? I even start to get upset days b4 he goes away - so much so that I woke up in tears last night just becase I know whats coming!
Thanks for listening! Any coping strategies would be greatly appreciated!
well i feel a similar way when my DH goes away for the whole weekend but its more to do with having a 2 year old that i have to look after the whole weekend by myself. its fine during the week but i really look forward to the weekend when he is here to help out as well. just have to try and snap yourself out of it! :-) maybe if you go to your friends place, the the movies or do something special yourself the time will go by faster.
not a prob, im online most of the time so if you wana talk send me a pm.
hope you and bub are ok and try not to stress to much huni. huni
take care

Krissy - I do this also! As soon as he leaves the house to go away I will instantly start to have a panic attack and it gets to the point where I have to get out of the house and be where ppl are! I never used to be like that!!
Hollo - yeah I tell my self to JUST SNAP OUT OF IT WOMAN! And sometimes it works but other times it has no effect!!
Rach - thanks Ill be sure to take you up on that offer if I do get one line!!
I think I will try and make a few appointment for sat like get my nails done and get a preg massage - have some me time and see how I go.
I have my cousins 21st on the sat night so that will help occupy me for a while - its when I get home that i freak out - ill just get the dogs to sleep on the bed with me and keep my campany!!
Thanks ladies!
Hun, think of lots of ways to pamper yourself, and of all the things you "mean" to do when you have time. Set out a plan to do at least one pamper thing, and achieve one thing (at least) from your to-do list every day. Also, try and get some human contact each day - a coffee or other outing with a friend, have some-one visit, pop-in to see a neighbour or if all else fails, go shopping and strike up a conversation with a sales assistant. This adult contact makes a huge difference hun. Oh and of course, spend time on BB and feel connected to the world!
All the best hun. I am sure you will get through this, and hopefully even enjoy having a bit of time to yourself.
Oh darl big
This did happen to me when I was pregnant with my last DS. Not this excatly but when My DH left the house in the morning Early as he was a dairy farmer, then I wouldnt be able to sleep, I would start getting freeked out and just totally flip. I would start crying for no reason. In the end I would have to get up and go lay down on the couch and watch tv for a distraction. This happened everymorning and I have no idea why.
You are definatly not a weirdo, it will be the pregnancy.
Is there anyone who could come and stay with you for the weekend. Maybe a girlfriend and you can make it into a girlee weekend and watch movies or things like that?
