Wow..rock concerts, new pg news, private hospitals, high BP's swollen ankles and some freaky and scary comments from ob's. And you all seem to be going great guns in dealing with it.
My journey at the moment consists of tears and more tears. The emotions are getting well and truely on top of me. DH doesn't get it at all and just doesn't have the capacity to empathise with my weird thoughts and feelings - he will more than happily continue to do the cooking, cleaning, asking if i need anything, but struggles to just sit with me as I cry and get whatever the hell it is out - he takes it as though it's a personal attack on him then gets stand offish rather than put his arms around me and 'say the right things' and no, even i don't know what the right things are to say, but he should shouldn't he??!!.
I dont think starting back work after the nice break is helping, or the fact that i also have a major assessment due today...I've called in sick to sit at home and complete assessment, but don't have the motivation to begin (cause of the crying, AAARRRGGHHHHH!!!).
Amazingly though, this week of emotions have confirmed i can feel bub move. All the time, especially when i'm overwhelmed with emotions. I'm scared that all the stress and tears are upsetting her too but there's nothing i can do about it. I hope it really doesn't impact on her development - i don't want to be the cause of my baby being emotionally disturbed!
Anyway, sorry for the selfish post, i will hopefully get things together and come back all happy and smiling to share stories of the good stuff.
