I look at my ticker and think with dread about how far i still have to go.... I am so sick i feel like i am going to die. I just want to feel human again
No one has posted here for a while so i thought that i would join in with you ourlux!!!
The only whinge that i have is that i want to know what flavour my baby is
I can't stand it anymore its all i think about.
Oh well i find out on the 21st of december not long now.
I'm tired.
Oh soooo tired.
And I just woke up from a nap. I feel like I could sleep through until the morning.
My belly hurts and I have NO motivation to do anything - why aren't I nesting??? I want to nest....
It's GORGEOUS outside but the thought of getting Isabelle and the pram set up was just too much so I put on a DVD for her and now I feel like cr@p for taking 30 mins for myself.
I want to enjoy these last few weeks of pregnancy but I'm just too tired.
I don't remember being like this in the last few weeks with Iz.
The Wiggles annoy me.
DH went back to work today after a week and a half off and I miss him.
Off to feel sorry for myself.
Thank god for vent thread. I've had the most awful night last night and morning!
Partner is giving me the absolute Sh@!s. He's usually very sweet and patient but last night he had a 6 pack with a mate and i'm exhausted and told him i'm going to sleep so he followed me into the bedroom and kept talking to me - i kept asking, 'please let me sleep, it's 11pm i'm TIRED and have to work tomorrow' .... he just kept talking (about nothing much).
of course i got cranky and then he got cranky and said 'go to sleep then, that's all you're good for these days'. makes me feel awful but at the same time SOOOOO mad. He's not had to sacrifice ANYTHING for this so far (given, he quit smoking but so what)... what i wouldn't give for him to carry the friggen thing for 9 months, no drinking, certain foods, exhaustion, hormones etc etc etc.
Why can't men understand (even the nice ones!). Are there any books out there that explain it in 'men speak' because it doesn't matter how much i tell him i'm tired, not hungry, don't like smells/ food, feel nauseous. i feel like he thinks i'm putting it on!
BLOODY MEN!
has anyone else had to put up with this - how did you cope? I feel like i'm going to have to endure this alone with no understanding support!
hun - they really have NO idea and no amount of reading or explaining does it for them. It has only been in the last few weeks that my DH has had the lightbulb go off because he has been home alot during the day to see WHY I have been so tired! Im huge and he watches me get up off the floor from playing with Isabelle and the look on his face is priceless! It will pass for you though and then you will have the 2nd trimester to be feeling wonderful, pregnant and gorgeous!!
I hope it sinks in for him too and feel free to vent any time!
my belly is huge and getting in the way
I'm starting to swell up in my fingers and feet
baby is sitting so low I feel like it is going to drop out any minute
still have sore back
and sorer hips
have to waddle everywhere now as can't manouvre my way round anything because of the belly
feeling like I have to clean then getting puffed just from getting up
Grr I need to have a big vent about public transport in Melbourne!!!!!!
I took a packed tram at lunch time up to the hospital to have my 20 week u/s. Bubs is measuring large for her gestation so I am a bit bigger than you'd expect and to my eyes I am clearly LOOKING like I am pregnant. It must be obvious as people I haven't told are starting to ask me when I am due!
For crying out loud, I got off at the hospital stop and got back on to go back to work at the hospital. So do you think people would realise and offer me a seat? NO!!!!!!!
The same thing happens when I get the train home from work. If I do not shove my way on to grab one of the precious remaining seats on the train, I have to stand, for up to 45 mins until I get home.
How rude are people!!!!!!
I am worried it is going to get worse the bigger I get and the hotter it becomes!
C'mon people of Melbourne - offer a pregnant woman a seat!!!!!!!!
Ocean - what line are you on? im on the werribee line and i make sure i get seat for my 50 min train ride, if i dont then i make someone move. i dont care how embarrassed i am about it, my body is going through enough without having to stand for that long. If you are on my line at the same time as me i would be glad to save you a seat, otherwise use the transport law to your advantage, the signs do say they MUST give up their seat for pregnant women.
Thought I would have a vent in here... some things you just can't share with family or friends!
Whinge #1:
Having a cold and not being able to take any codral *cough* *splatter* *cough* *sniff* - and to top it off everyone wants to tell me what I should be doing to get over it - "Drink lots of water, eat chicken soup, drink lemon tea, lots of bed rest".... LIKE I DON'T KNOW ALL THAT! IT DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL ANY BETTER HEARING IT A MILLION TIMES!!!!!
Whinge #2
I like to think I am a fairly practical, intelligent, sensible woman. This however doesn't stop people giving me advice on EVERYTHING. I know they mean well, but when MIL says things like "I'm really worried about your cat when the baby is here" - I mean really! Firstly, its my cat and my baby - let me worry about it. Secondly, do you think I am so stupid that I would just let my cat have free reign over the house to curl up with my baby whilst I'm not looking
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh That feels so much better! Thanks for listening
I'm on the Hurstbridge line - can take anywhere from 40 to 50 mins to get to my stop.
Thanks for the thought though!
Lilcosmo, I know what you mean! Its like being pregnant gives every single other person who has been remotely involved with a baby at some point in their life (even being a baby when they were younger is good apparently enough ) the instant "expert" status!
At work I am currently in comeone else's role while they are on long service leave. They had been here 7 years and I haven't even been here for 1.
On friday I bled LOTS and on Monday and Tuesday discovered that I had infact had twins but miscarried one of them. After being prodded and poked, been to 2 hospitals, 3 doctor appointments, ultrasound and a needle in my bum (anti-d) I come back to work on Wednesday.
I have 3 uni assignments due in on Friday and have been so exhausted, haven't started them. Couldn't even pick up a box of printer paper at work this morning and just about puked everywhere when I tried. Also have a freelance graphic design job to finish (which I am thinking I may have to turn down).
Have what feels like the flu and am not sleeping well and have shocking cramps still.
My body is past it...it's so tired. It's had enough. If I was in my normal role at work and not this one I would ask to go part time for a few weeks but no one else knows how to do this job and it's integral to the running of the place. People keep telling me I look like s**t which really doesn't help my spirits :-)
Slipped in the kitchen on Saturday night and had a fall. Hurt back, wrist and ankle. Bummer.
All I want to do is lay down with a warm pack on my belly and try to sleep!
Am so confused over whether to keep trucking on through work stress (with these assignments to finish...which means a few all-nighters) knowing that I will burn myself out or say "stuff work" for a bit and have a rest.
I'm not the crying type but I could definatley cry now!
Ever since telling work i was pregnant at 9weeks i've had people freely commenting on just how massive i apprently am for so early on in my pregnancy Just recently it seems to have eased of some.
That was until today!!!!!!!!
I had a customer happily make a comment about my belly. I was told "Gee you're massive for not being very far along" I promptly replied with " I know i've had people telling me how huge i am since i was 9 weeks". Thanks ever so much for making me feel like a freakin whale lady, I'm having a baby & popped early.
I bet if i wasn' showing as much i'd then probably be told i'm too small for how far along i am,you just can't win.
