Thankyou everyone - im glad to hear (as bad as it may be/sound) that im not the only one.....

I am doing a hyrdo class every week to help with the ligament pain/back pain etc......by the time monday arvo comes (the day i have it) im really needing it, sometimes im fine for a few days after other days im back in pain by the following arvo

My favourite food is on hold until after bubs

For some reason i really dont like having baths and we only have x amount of hot water, so i try not to shower more then once a day unless i really need it....then poor hubby has to miss out on a shower if i have 2 (enough hot water for 3 showers, 1 for me, 1 for hubby and 1 for the boys)

Yeah my midwife suggested panadene forte aswell.....i just dont like taking them or relying on pain killers, iykwim....
although i took some panadol last night and was able to get to sleep, mr 5 was already in my bed and then at 4 am mr 3 decided he was in our bed or look out, by this stage i was wide awake cos bubba decided that it must mean its wake up time, finally got back into bed (and find room lol) to only have hubbys alarm going off lucky kids stayed asleep and when hubby left i was able to doze back off and get an hour or so more sleep.....

BRose - i too woke last week the same way, still havnt been able to shake the sore throat either hugs, its hard when we have other little people to look after......but i know they are strong kids and will be ok.....
prehaps you need to atleast drop some hours so you can start to rest BEFORE bubs comes and spend some more time with DS??? I know when ive been a bad mum, i try and make up for it when i can......even if its small things throughout the day, or something the next day....
sometimes im a bad mum for a few days before i realise its me and not them (iykwim) and then i have a really downer day, kinda like a min break down, then the next day i try and make it up to everyone.....

i know 7 weeks isnt long and that i wont be pg forever, this pg has gone fast right up til i hit the 30wk mark, but thats also when things slowed down around here, so im thinking if i try and keep myself busy again then the next few weeks wont be such a hurdle......
