Ok, here's my vent. I have that M/S makes being on BellyBelly for more than 1/2 hour at a time unbearable. All the scrolling makes me feel sooo nauseous (sp? preg brain bad today) that I have to stop!!!

OMG....I know you wrote this yonks ago but i was curious about this thread and thought I would take a look.......when i was UTD with DS#1...I had the same problem! Also the smell of the computer as it was fairly new made me green!

I thought I was the only one.

Here's my vent...

I'm sick of being pregnant!!! I'm sick of period-pain, back pain, false labour, pre-labour, and what appears to be labour beginning only to have it stop!

I'm over the heartburn, the already lack of sleep, and I swear to GOD the next person who says to me "enjoy your time alone while you can", "get your rest now, while you have the chance" or "try not to think about it, baby will come when she's ready" I'm going to murder them!!!

You try NOT THINKING ABOUT IT when you have a bump the size of an overgrown basketball in the middle of your body, feet on the right side of your ribs, bum on the left side of your ribs and a head in your damn pelvis!

Try not thinking about it when you can't lay down because of heartburn, when you have cravings so intense that they're painful, and when you're constantly hungry but there is never enough to eat.

Try not thinking about it when every second day, you get more and more signs that labour will start "soon" only on the 3rd day to have the whole damn lot disappear!!!

And as for "enjoying it while I can"... what do you want me to enjoy? Sitting around, alone, all day every day because I have no friends and no money? Being in constant pain? Being so emotional and over it that I'm in tears at least twice a day?

I want my baby out of my belly and in my arms where I can start getting to know here. Where I can look into her gorgeous eyes and know that she'll never love anyone the way that she'll love me. Knowing that I have supported her for the last 9 months, and that I'll continue to be her support through breastfeeding for the next however many months.

I want my baby girl IN MY ARMS and not in my belly anymore!!!!!

Wow, this thread rocks!

Hi, just randomly looking and had to post, I simpathize with you all, it is only now I think back about how wonderful it all was (for me so long awaited) and remember some one telling me the best time is when they are in your belly as it is the only time you know exactly where they are/can control them lol if you know what I mean. It only gets 'more' of everything after they are born, good luck, fingers crossed I can't wait to be in your position again sometime in the near future xxx

So this has got to be the best thread ever - why on earth have I not found it sooner!?!?!?!

Okay, I apologise 'cause this is going to be long, let's start at the beginning...

When #3 is only 15mths old I realise that although I am on the pill I am pg, again! DH is shall we say, less than impressed, we work out #3 will be nearly 2 when this one is born and decide to panic less, not such a bad gap after all.

Then the fun begins, ms (ALL DAY) for 12 weeks, lost 8kg, but not feeling good about that just feeling nauseous ALL the time. Had a scan and I think it's a girl based on heartrate and I confess I am disappointed, we have two older girls and one little boy and being mildly ocd I liked the idea of two and two.

I am not even half way but I have 'popped' and look so fat, ppl will be wondering if I am fat or pg and soon probably asking when I am due - I hate saying Dec and having ppl look at me and say "Oh I thought it'd be in a few weeks, are you sure it's not twins in there!" - happened that way with DD2

Aside from all the pg BS, in April (mth of conception) DH is having a melt down whilst we are on holiday, talking divorce and wanting to leave me with the kids and drive or rather fly home, how considerate of him to want to leave me the car?!?!?

Then we get home to find the house has been broken in to... Oh dear, this leads DH down his path of depression and he is soon needing 3 wks off work, one of which he doesn't get paid for! - OUCH! At least during this time DH works out that he is sorry for taking all his anxiety and sh*t out on me!

A week after we have returned home we realise the spare car key is missing after an attempted theft in the early am hours. I empty out the car all morning (cd's, dvd's, kids toys etc) then stop to get lunch ready for the family, I think I hear the car and run to the door with the little man in my arms just in time to see the car rolling out the drive with the door open and the door hitting the carport pillar and turning inside out! AHHH! I run to the car and realise it won't stop before rolling onto the road, I jump in whilst it's on the road and pull the hand brake, little man is screaming so I go get him, put him in his seat - luckily the keys were in my pocket from cleaning out the car so I start it and pull back into our drive, then get out DS and we go inside to call the police.

After all this the police say they know who did it, great right? BUT nothing happens, we are still out of pocket for the contents insurance excess and the car excess (which was heaps!) and the car insurance company refused to pay for the key locks! they okayed $7000 of repairs but wouldn't change the key locks, they basically said the key can't be taken out when the car is in reverse (I said they must've taken the key when they realised they were going to break the door and ran) but when I was proved right they still wouldn't pay! So the lease company paid for the key locks and we now have to support their claim to state the insurance company unlawfully denied a claim (the insurance broker said the insurance company could not support their refusal with any of their policy) incidentally the key locks they refused to pay for came to about $900, they were also told the suspect was not in custody and still in town. They were prepared to cover the vehicle if stolen with the key ie. risk $63k over a $900 job????

Meanwhile DH goes back to work, first day - the MOTHER (an EA @ school) of the teenager accused of breaking into our house and stealing our car walks into my hubby's classroom for something and DH notices her new bag - OUR BABYBAG!!! He is not in a good mood at lunchtime...

Needless to say DH has decided he will leave this town after this year which is the end of his contract, however he neglected to mention this to me and put in his preferences (last I heard he wanted to stay), we still can't afford to move back to the city (not until the car is paid off in 2 more years) but he put in all the country placements without discussing it!!!! And we already moved in 2009 with a 10 day old baby and spent 7 nights in a sh*tty pub room while the house was 'getting ready' - still a hole when we moved in - now I have to do it again!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Already I can't imagine how this birth is going to work, here's the problems,

I want a hb - I have had two cs and an easy vba2c
I can't get an IM up here
The hospital is 100km away, if I go too early I will get harrassed to have a cs, if I go too late DH might be catching bub in the red dirt on the side of the road as the 54m road trains go by!
We can't afford a rental in Perth and as yet a housesit hasn't come up (hoping to get an IM in Perth over the hols)
I really want my girls with me for this birth (it would mean so much to them) and I can't leave my little man, he is still a booby boy!

Even if we get an early uplift and move into a 'ready' house before Xmas (highly highly unlikely) if it's not Busselton where the south west IM's will attend or close to the city that won't help anyway???



So, I think that's all for now (really it should be!)

Thanks for a great thread

Oh Sporty i hope your MS improves soon. I know how you feel. I had it til 20 weeks really bad. But on and off til the end at 39w. CHin up, think of the end product, will all b worth it

[*Hope*]

Oh Sporty chick me too, except for I've only just realised thats what making it worse (so blonde sometimes!! LOL).

Before I winge I will say that I am not complaining about the M/S - Its good in the sense that I know all is well; HOWEVER I'm over it, its non stop, its been worse the last week, and nothing is really relieving it anymore. I kid you not its 24/7. Its now making me grumpy (or as DH says bumpy). All food tastes average, smells are getting worse, eg garlic, that just about makes me pass out. And my tummy is so puffy I look 20 odd weeks pregnant.
But yes I truly am happy to be pregnant and am looking forward to every other part of the pregnancy.

Thanks

OOOH back to Mumma Jugs (my current nickname at work)...
They are just blowing outta proportions!!! Peeling my bra's off kills, they weigh a tonne too, stupid big boobs!

[MrsBump]

I still am not sleeping, actually it is worse than before! I think i have had about 8.5 hrs sleep in the last 2 days, to top it off i have been getting bad BHs every 10 mins, i am that tired i dont know if they are getting stronger or what!!
Nesting is kicking in and everytime i layed down yesterday to have a kip (DS at preschool today and tomorrow) i would think of something else to do! WHATS GOING ON????????????

[sasha]

I'm with you on the not sleeping. Either I can't relax - like you, I'm thinking of too many things I should be doing - or I can't get comfortable. And DH started a new job which means he has to leave the house at 5:30am, that's going to take some getting used to! Yesterday I came home from dropping him off at work (needed the car for myself later) and went to sleep on the couch until 9:30, can't believe it! At least I got some much needed sleep, can't do that today unfortunately, or tomorrow. Getting the carseat fitted today so I suppose I had better go out and clean the car. Joy.

[Percy]

I'm with you on the non-sleeping bit! So over it! Actually no, I'm more over people telling me "oh its good practise for when the baby comes" GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

[MrsBump]

Percy,
You will find you have a 'better' sleep when you have had bubba, you will be waking up from 2-4hrs for feeding BUT your sleep will be deeper and ALOT more comfy!

Sasha,
You lucky duck for sleeping for 4 hrs! I am lucky to get 1.5hrs extra sleep during the day. I wake up! Not nice. Yay on getting your carseat fitted!!

[Percy]

Exactly!!! Thats what I think too! At least I'll be able to roll over without being in agony!

[Lisa]

Other than the braxton hicks all day and night, the back pain, the SPD pain, the reflux, the not able to sleep for longer than an hour, the constant thinking about what needs to be done, the strange dreams when I do sleep, the feet under my ribs making me not be able to breathe properly, the needing to eat all the time, the heartburn that comes from eating, the constapation and the bloatedness... I am loving being pregnant!!!

[sasha]

Actually no, I'm more over people telling me "oh its good practise for when the baby comes" GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

Yep, that's always seemed kind of stupid to me, too!!

I am lucky to have had the sleep, it made all the difference, and I must have been exhausted by nighttime as well, because apart from the usual 3 trips to the toilet, I slept well again last night. Loving this carseat. It's a gorgeous blue, looks very comfy!

[Snook]

I'M NOT USED TO THESE NEW BOOBIES!!!!!! :eek:


Sorry for being a little graphic but I've been a 12 B for most of my life...until now. I'm sure I'm at least a largish C cup but some 12 sized bras fit me and some don't and some 14 sized bras fit me and some don't. For the 1st time in my life I am having a lot of trouble buying bras :frown:

[Debbie Lee]

Why can't I sleep??
I'm tired... I've had a long day and I can't fricken sleep!
Betcha Gab wakes up at the crack-arse of dawn too.... grrr!
