oneday.. MEN! they are so dumb sometimes!!! and just a word about bad patches... Dh and I went through an awful patch a few months after DS arrived. Having a new arrival who is your top priority can be very difficult on a relationship, you are both tired, your horomones are crazy, you don't have the time you did for DH and if you are physically healing as well... well that doesn't help matters. I know one of the girls on this forum when I was preg with DS did a whole thread about her and her dh's struggles post baby Anyhoo, it's just really really tough because a baby is such a massive change to your home, yourself and your relationship. I know DH and I will be better prepared this time but I'm planning on sitting down and having a chat to him about it before this bub arrives to make sure we are in a better place this time.

aimee- i think you did the right thing going to the docs! don't feel silly!!! As for the pain, yeah with DS I had pain from my over stimulated ovaries... it lasted til abotu 34 weeks i think. I had a scan with a ob (who also did scans) and asked her to look for me and she showed me my right ovaries were still really swollen and with a baby in there pressing on them, it really hurt. It felt like i'd been punched and then occasionally i'd get a really sharp twinge. This pregnancy was a natural FET and I don't have that pain.

which hardware did your mum get that thing from??? I sssoooo need one. I find holding DS (who likes to sort of be propped on top of my tummy) is very uncomfortable. Getting loads of ligament pain in the last few days as well bbrr and generally my tum is just aching and feels very stretched now. ugh.

We all try so hard and it's so heartbreaking for us to get pregnant and I hate it that all I can do when finally UTD is whinge about how crap i feel... and I don't even have any other complications and am considered low risk! I don't know how you girls with other health issues on top of pregnancy do it!! you are truly amazing ladies!!!

well better go feed the child and get off to playgroup.
