I am sick of ligament pain. :( Everytime I think its gone away, it comes back and its pretty disabling for me!
I'm also sick of not being able to eat oysters. Or smoked salmon, or have more than a glass of wine a week - and knowing that even that is considered naughty!
Poor me - how pathetic if these are the only things I have wrong!
Anyway - just thought I'd have a vent to let others know that we all feel crappy throughout the various stages of pregnancy! ;)
Oh just what i needed today!
Fi - I empathise with you on the ligament pain. I had a crap night's sleep and i think it's going to be that way for the rest of the pregnancy! My belly was hurting so much last night(mainly ligament pain) and i just couldn't get comfortable no matter what position i was in and rolling over was an effort and a half! I can't put up with this for another 13 weeks! I'm also starting to get rib pain which i remember all too well from Lily. A couple of days ago i was loving being pregnant. I think i've jinxed myself coz now i can't wait for it to end! :(
My asthma is really playing up :( I have my pulmicort, but still needed 3 lots of 2 puffs to breathe properly. Plus my m/s is back, and my back hurts:(
Plus I'm really craving boiled peanuts and I can't have any for ages yet!
Ahh girls just what I need to see. The real side of being pg. If I get ideas again I know where to come ;)
Great Thread girls!
Im so sick of having Carpal Tunnel in my left hand and 3 of my fingers constantly numb theres nothing I can do. Also waking up every 4hrs to either go to the bathroom at night or because of leg cramps :)
Bel

4 hours? I wish! I'm fed up with everytime I roll/move in bed, I wake up... if I wake up, I need to take a trip to the loo (and I roll over/move lots at night!)
I think mostly tho I am fed up with just not feeling like 'me' - I'm normally such an active, fit person... I just feel so un-co and tired of not being able to do a lot of things that I used to do! Having to slow down and take things easy sucks.
well here goes........im so fed up, im sure i have every horrible symptom
# heartburn, hurts so much 24/7
# reflux, its like ive swolled a golf ball, and it hurts like hell to eat.
# sleep, whats that again, apart from waking every couple of hour to go to the loo, im sick of sleeping sitting up.
# pain down low, not sure what it is, but when i get it im in agony for Aa few hours.
# swollen ankles, i feel like a elephant
# short of breath, im sick of doing nothing and im puffing like ive run a marathon.
# food, i dont feel like eating much, and i cant fit it in anymore anyway. I just cant wait for all my favourite foods back that i enjoy, but cant stand the sight of at the moment
# excersize...........whats that again?
# wine.........cant wait for my first glass after bubs is here!
#waddling, i forgot how i walk normally.
# sex..........whats that?
#back ache.....oooch
#morning sickness, back at 28 weeks
well i think i have covered everything that has been driving me mad, sorry for the big vent girls, im just looking on the bright side i only have 10 weeks left, so not long now to put up with it all.
THAT FEELS MUCH BETTER
I'm still searching for my sex drive!LOL!
I'm sick of getting tummy pains when I eat!!
I'm so fat already I can't do much, or walk to far.
I'm sick of not being able to do the things I want with Gemma.
I'm sick of ligament pain.
I can't sleep.
And I miss red wine!!!
LMAO - the ligament pain all sounds pretty common huh?
And the active thing, I know that too. I am very active, and I hate being clumsy and unco. It does go, and then you swear next time around you will try and stay more agile. How many weeks have I been promising myself I would check out the locall yoga class???
Yeah tell me about it..my sex drive has gone for a long journey somewhere.
I also didnt know it was ok to have at least one glass of wine a week? iv been suffering for 7 months now lol.
The nights are awful,im sure im awake more then im alseep,and listening to my hubby snoring away is making me jealous. (Not the actual Snoring :p ) .Iv started to get Calve cramp and my groin is soooooo painful when i roll over or get out of bed first thing.The peeing is getting on my nerves during the night and the fact that inbetween 2 and 4am,i need to eat Chocolate.
During the day,i feel completely exausted purely because my clock is the wrong way round and i want to sleep during the day because im not at night.I cant walk very fair and climbing my stairs is like climbing mount everest.
I pick at food terrible,mainly at night and im sure im going to be 20 stone still by the time iv had this baby.The headaches are a nightmare ,but i dont like to take tablets if i can help it.
I got bad stitch in my right side yesterday for a few hours,unbearable.And as for the baby,well im sure hes going to be a footballer,gezzz he never stops and hes using my ribs as the goal because they feel soooo bruised.
Hows that for a moan LOOOL :rolleyes:
Wow, all these things to look forward to... I can hardly wait!!
I know I'm just new at this, but can I join in? I'm so sick of feeling sick! I feel sick ALL THE TIME! And I'm moody. Poor DH wonders where I've gone, as I've been replaced with some crabby naseous woman who goes to bed early every night and still complains about how tired she is.
There's more, but it's mainly the sick-feeling. Once I get over that I'll start whinging about the other stuff. I used to love food...
The novelty has worn off, and I just want my normal cool body back. I keep singing that song 'don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got til it's gone' :p
And SLEEP!! Oh how I miss you. I just can't get comfy! I'm sick of not being able to get comfy anywhere.
AND while the plus side of a kicking baby is that I know it's alive, I wish my baby would exercise moderation!! It does not stop. :eek: I am getting REALLY concerned, because the kicks are super painful and I still have 10 weeks to go, where bubs will only get bigger and bigger...I really am worried about it breaking my ribs or something..But honestly, it moves non stop and makes me feel so sick and I just can't relax.
On the plus side, I have developed a deep and special bond with Frosty Fruits ;)
My main vent at the moment is.... I want my gastro to go so I can get my energy back to give birth and not feel so exhausted.
Other then that:
It`ll be nice to go to bed and be able to sleep
I`d love not to have to make nightly trips to the toliet
When I manage to go to sleep it`ll be lovely if my painfull BH`s along with cramping wouldn`t wake me up
I`d love to be able to hold DS for longer then 5 minutes
To bend without pain would also be lovely :)
Right now, my big whinge is that I feel the need to eat every hour otherwise I feel too hungry and nauseous. And I have to go to bed at 8:30 each night!
I wasnt expecting to be this tired this early!
Have to add mine here!
I had terrible morning sickness until about week 14 and since then I have had some mystery feverish bug which i cant shake so I feel dreadful, in the trimester I am supposed to be blooming, when I had planned to swim and exercise to get into good shape for the birth.
And now I've hurt my back!!
So I am not sailing through pregnancy!
I'm sure it will all be worth it though!
I want to have a big night on the town and have a few drinks,i want to dance at a wedding this weekend,i want my groove back and i hate my back fat! I want to look hot or at least be a yummy mummy,not a plumpy one.
plus i want energy and some spark to get stuff done.
I just need to get this out...
I have been sooo sick and vomiting for the first 12ish weeks and now Im just exhausted. I just don't feel myself, ugly, covered in acne, no sex drive, no energy and I just feel fat and lifeless. I always wanted to be one of those chirpy, happy, lovely looking pregnant ladies, not a negative girl who's no fun.
We really wanted to have a large family but at this rate, that just isn't going to happen and it's getting to me. I feel like a bit of a failure at all of this.
Phew, it just feels better just to have put words to all of this emotion.
Awww Thank you so much for your support girls. Onward and upward huh...
Time for a relaxing bath and a facial perhaps...
I'll put in a good word for the 11th Fletch ;)
Hope your feeling better, Emily :)
I just wanted to say
I AM OVER IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! iVE ALREADY HAD ENOUGH. i'M TIRED AND COULD STILL HAVE UP TO 4 WEEKS TO GO.
hurry up bubba - your mummy wants to meet you!!!
Oh, gosh, I need a vent at the moment...
Right, I hate this cr@ppy lowered immune system because the baby is just a parasite living off me, I hate feeling like cr@p every day and no-one giving a d@mn, least of all my DH. I hate having a fat podge of a belly when I want to be either as flat-stomached as I used to be or pregnant, not podge-ised.
I hate my horrid DH who would rather Liebling and I weren't here so he could spend his money on cr@p, except he couldn't because it's MY wage paying for HIS car loan and HIS stupid hunk of cr@p in the garage that he calls a car when in fact it's just a load of rust (now with some paint on). I hate the fact he's at home "ill" when I know that I feel twenty times worse than he does on my good days. I hate that he told me I should give him sympathy when all he said about my (one bout of) morning sickness was "it's about time, isn't it?" I hate that he doesn't want to do any pregnancy classes or learn about the baby and that he told me he's "not ready to be a dad". If he's not ready to be a dad then WTF did he stop using condoms? The whole point of him being in charge of contraception was so that I didn't get so broody and have an "accident". I really hate the fact he tells me off for being irrational and upset when it's HIS BLOODY BABY that's giving me all these stupid HORMONES and making me feel like cr@p every day and then I'm supposed to come home to him and his horridness and be nice to him. I hate him! I hate the fact that he won't think of names for the baby, won't talk to the baby, doesn't want to do classes, look at pregnancy books, find out about giving birth or anything about babies - he doesn't even know how to change a nappy: probably doesn't even know what a nappy is apart from something to ignore when I bring it up in conversation.
I HATE HIM! :rolleyes: I guess that's a normal part of pregnancy, though - right?
I also hate feeling like this and daren't take a sick day because I am already facing being made redundant, along with half the other girls with whom I work, and I hate feeling like I'm going to burst into tears all the time but can't, and I hate feeling like I have to watch what I say ALL THE FREAKING TIME because I'll upset someone with it - like usually my DH. I'm sure there are lots of people avoiding me know because I'm just not bothered with censoring myself so much any more. I also hate people who don't say "that's not how I feel" or "that upsets me" and just ignore me - TELL ME that there's a freaking PROBLEM and I'll sort it!
Sorry, I'm just so angry all the time and I also hate that I can't do my aerobics or kick-boxing to get rid of all this stress, I really, really need to.
Ryn, you sound just like I was when I was pg with Noah. I was horrible (not saying that you are of course) I knew that I was overreacting alot of the time but just couldn't help it. Of course it wouldv'e helped if everyone didn't go out of their way to annoy me so damn much.
Yep your supposed to either really love DH now or really hate him. Obviously, you've gone for the latter. I found that my DF wasn't hugely interested in bub until I was well and truely showing and after he saw the ultrasound he was a lot better too. Men are funny like that, we bond with our baby the minute we know it's in there. Men take a while to realise or accept (perhaps not the right words) that there is a little person in there and slowly they begin to love bub.
Just letting you know that your not alone in these feelings and that it WILL get better.... Someday :)
Aaaaaaaaaargh!!
The Morning Sickness that I had in the 1st Tri is back. Lucky me!! Food is gross, and I feel the need to spew all the time in my throat.
I also ache all night long in my hips, legs and back....i counted 36 roll overs last night.
I just feel gross all the time. I think my stomach feels like it is in my throat. I constantly feel the need to spew, but I do feel alot better after I do a big spew.
I havent been able to eat meat, mashed food, oranges and most other fruits, or anything that tastes like anything at all because I just spew from it. I have so much trouble drinking any fluids at all, esp water as I vomit this up.
I dont like the constant need to eat and lie down because I am so tired. I cant sleep at night. I hate how the house is messy and I have no energy to do house work. DH has a cold and is lying down feeling sorry for himself and he is constatly sneezing all over me and breathing on me and coughing on the other computer, so I dont want to go near him because I'll probably catch his freaky disease.
I have no libido.
I dont like that I'll probably have even worse things happen with me in the coming months. I already want to leave work, but that is not just because of feeling sick but also because I feel a huge lack of respect from my colleagues.
Magnums are very helpful though, but this will probably make my bum expand alot.
After a perfect 39 week pregnancy with DS..I have to say I thought that this pregnancy would be similar. I have had bleeding on and off now for over a month, resulting in 10 days total in hospital stays. I just know that I am going to bleed again.. I know I will end up back in hospital again and I dont think we can take much more!! No one seems to know why it is happening which is frustrating. At the last bleed there was so much blood that I thought we had lost the baby.
It is taking its toll on DH, who has been wonderful. But, with all the time taken off work and all the stress with worrying about me.. and my DS.. he is being so brave but he cant understand why Mummy keeps going to the hospital. I am worried that he will resent his baby brother and I am trying so hard to not let that happen!
There are so many stories about bleeding in early pregnancy but I cannot seem to find many about late bleeding. I know it is all just one step at a time now.. At least the baby can be born without any major consequences.. But.. can it all please be over???
*sighs* I have to vent this and this is as good a place as any. Ever since I told mum I was pg she has been telling me what to do and what not to do and blah blah blah! I'm over it! Mum is a full on health fanatic (vegan vegetarian). So, everything I do is wrong. Don't eat this, eat more of that, don't buy anything yet, don't find out the sex...I told her tonight that I'm having my 12wk scan in 2 weeks cos I want the nuchal fold test. Well, that turned out to be a mistake! "Oh no don't get it done, only get the one they're bad and what are you going to do if it shows possible Downs etc." I said well at least I have time to get my head around it! I had 3 with Joshua and he is fine! She hasn't had kids (my bro and I are both adopted) so everything she is telling me is stuff she reads from health courses and natropath courses she does.....IT'S DRIVING ME INSANE! I just feel like crying :crying: right now and I don't mean to sound so horrible about my mum. I know she means well but pleaaaaaaaaase it's my body, my baby and I'm not stupid! Thanks for your ears.
I'm soooo tired. I amjust exhausted, and I dont know how to fix it. I'm seriously considering a sleeping pill option, cause I am beside myself.
I spent Sat looking after the drunk netball girls on our trip to Ballarat, and while it was my decision, I couldnt get away from cigarette smoke. I hate stale smoke, andthe pub we stayed was full of it. I stunk when I got home.
I got about 3hr sleep as the nightclub in the hotel boomed their music til about 3:30am, and I'm just completely f****d.
Yesterday I got a dry patch of skin on my nose, so I scraped it, and now I have this mammoth weeping swollen nose that is killin gme. My glands are up, I'm worried I have an infection that could hurt bubs, and I can't see my dr til Thursday. I tried to get to a dr's clinic tonight where I have been told the waiting time is 2hr (to probably see an immigrant dr that wont care anyway).
I've done some self diagnosis on the internet, and it very well looks like I could have contracted Herpes I, which is a complete ba$tard as I have never had cold sores, and I am so careful when Shane gets them. I am really worried that I might have passed on some of the bug to Jenna and I have caused a whole life of coldsores.
I know there are worse things that could happen, but I am seriously considering walking into a clinic and collapsing to try and ssee someone. I have an appt tomorrow with my clinic, but a different dr, and I'm going to ask him/her about what I can do to help me sleep. I'm not uncomfortable yet, I just lie awake for hours thinking.
I have 13w+ to go, and its only going to get worse.
Thankfully bubs has finally woken up and is kicking the cr@p out of me, so I know at the moment its OK, but what if I lose my nose through a flesh eating disease or something.
OMG - these hormones and the tiredness are killing me.
Vent over. :(
A flesh eating disease Fi?! It was funny til I thought about how scary that would be...hope you manage to see a (helpful) dr soon, poor thing!
How much does it suck that our immune systems seem to totally abandon us during pregnancy...I mean, I'm glad that the baby is prioritised, but argh!
My little vent is just that I'm sick of stressing about what position the baby's in, its spine is on my right side when it should be on my left, and I will do my exercises and sit and lie the right way, and it will move, and then...nope, it's back to the same spot as before! :rolleyes:
The midwife says 'well, some babies just pick a spot they like and stay there'. I'm sure that won't sound so cute to me when I have a back labour...
I love it when people say to enjoy the last few weeks of you PG because when you have the babbies there will be no rest then, Heatburn,leg cramps,aching feet,don't like the smell of food cooking, todler tantrums, must be the weather cold rainy even if we have the enegy to do house work it's a good day if the washing to dry not that ive started washing the bubbies stuff yet.
Okay. I um..only vented two posts ago so a little disclaimer to anyone who doubts it - I AM very thankful to be pregnant and realise what a blessing it is. :)
But, HEARTBURN, AAAAARRRGH!!!
Trouble is, I can't decide what's worse, heartburn, or the texture of gaviscon, so I usually spend at least 30min in extreme discomfort, tossing and turning before I cave and take my medicine :p
OK, I need another rant. Life is crap right now.
First, my DH (and I don’t mean dear husband here). I’m back to hating him again after he managed to make me like him for about a week. He’s just such a prat. Really he is. I mean, I’m six months pregnant and he doesn’t care. He makes no secret of the fact that I’m not attractive and I hate that. Why can’t he just pretend to still like me? Why can’t he just pretend to be interested in what Liebling’s doing with the kicks? I’m getting so many now and I know it’s supposed to be fantastic but not when all I want is sleep and I can’t get any. I hate being so fat and ugly. I hate being so tired all the time that this is an issue. I hate doing all the housework. Yes, DH did the decorating and the central heating, but the SECOND his mother calls he skips round there to help her, why don’t I get help? I hate that she upsets him so much over the whole Christmas/Niece crap and then he’s off all skippy and happy. At least I’m cold to my parents for a few weeks after they p*ss me off. Why can’t DH just vacuum for me? Or do the cooking? Or do the washing up without being nagged – or think that because I’m off on Thursday I can cook and wash up on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and the weekend? I hate that! OK, so on Monday he does dinner. Woop-de-doo. Yes, it’s nice of him, but it’s not hard. If he did it every night I’d appreciate it. I hate having to nag him for help. I’m over six months pregnant – give me some help! I’m obviously fat too, so it’s not like he can forget. I hate being so fat and ugly. I hate it that I’m going to get fatter. I hate it that I get in and he’s on the computer shooting things and ignores me until dinner is ready then eats and is back to shooting. I hate that I never get to talk to him. I hate that he’s more interested in the TV than me – and we can’t go without a computer or a TV, heaven forbid! I just hate the fact that I’m never first in his life and he doesn’t even see what he’s doing.
And I hate my work. My day off is the only way I'm surviving it now, I have a job interview in January and I DON'T WANT ONE. I don't want the poxy "new" job, where I do twice as much work for no extra pay or hours. I don't want to run around after two consultants and I just know there'll be huge ****-ups because it's bad enough trying to just organise one consultant and a registrar, let alone two, then all the extra housemen! I don't want to take over the organisation of the Wednesday Educational Meetings, as Jen does them now; I don't want to have to re-learn nephrology for another specialist interest; I don't want to do a young persons' clinic when you get the mums of 19-year-olds calling up for results and getting narky because I can't give them out; I DON'T WANT TO DOUBLE MY WORKLOAD. This is crap and I'm so glad I'm out of it in just another 25 working days after today.
I hate the fact my DH doesn’t care about that. I hate it he doesn’t even know because his work is “too stressful” and he doesn’t want to hear about mine. He doesn’t care about anything that goes on in my life. He doesn’t hug me or kiss me unless I nag, he certainly isn’t interested in doing anything else, he’s crap. I hate him.
You know what else I hate? The fact that he’s so bloody sensitive I apologise to him when he’s p*ssed me off just to keep the peace a bit. The man is an insensitive buffoon who never listens to me then when I get upset he calls me an embarrassment. I hate him. Why can’t he just love me and try to make my life easier, not five thousand times worse?
I am so made that my maternity girdle hasn’t come in yet and I bought it a month ago. I need it! The bandage just isn’t doing the job now the pain has moved and I need something to hold my hips together. I hate that DH doesn’t care about this too.
And this sodding baby… OK, I do love my Liebling, but pregnancy has taken over my body. I’m tired and grumpy, I can’t walk anywhere any more, I feel like crap, I’m fat and ugly, I’m going to lose my job because I’m pregnant and they’re going to pretend it’s because there were more suitable candidates, I’m just so sick of everything. Normally I love the whole pregnancy thing, even when I feel like this, but the kicks just never stop, even when I walk around for ages trying to get the baby to sleep and I JUST WANT TO BE ME FOR TWO SECONDS. Not this huge fat thing I’ve become. I was even so knackered last night that when I finally got DH off the computer to e-mail my mum for her birthday I got her age wrong and had to mail an apology from work. I only realised when I was getting into bed that I’d done it wrong and so couldn’t sleep because I’m just being so stupid all the time and I’m sick of it. I know that’s not Liebling’s fault – it’s DH’s. If he came off the computer when I asked him then I could have done it before I fell asleep on the sofa. But ooooh no, shooting things is waaaay too important. I’m not going to hide or ruin his CDs. I’m going to fiddle with the computer so it will only turn on for me. DH does that, you know. So if I need to do e-mail and he’s away then sod it, he’s barred me from the computer. OK, I know I spend some time on the computer, but he spends hours shooting things and won’t talk to me, even about the sodding game. I hate all of this!
Why do I get my ten kicks within five minutes of waking up and why do they not stop all day? Why do I only get a 10-minute break between kicks? I know it’s fantastic to know my baby is alive and kicking (oh, and kicking so much!) but why can’t we just relax a bit? Why can’t I just look nice instead of being so fat? Why do people not just take pity on me and give me all this crap in my life – ok, so people on the end of a phone can’t know I’m pg (and I’m certainly not going to tell the people calling up about their infertility issues), but just people in general. Like at work; they must know I don’t need this crap. DH MUST know that I’m feeling this bad; he’s not blind. He’s just so useless. Did you know he doesn’t even want to cut the cord? Why does he even want to be at the birth? I don’t want him there. If he thinks I’m ugly now what on earth will he think when I’m in labour? And it’s not me imagining it – he told me this weekend it’s “normal” not to fancy your pregnant wife and that I’m emitting “not-turn-on” pheromones. The only good thing is that DH also stands for d-head, which is what he’s being.
I think that’s everything without repeating myself too much – I’m just so sick of all of this. I just want things to back down a bit – I could cope with everything without the work stress, or without the housework: it’s just one thing too much. I just want to spend all my time in bed playing with Liebling and not getting mad at the poor baby for kicking. And I don’t want to be so fat. I hate that all my clothes are tight and I can’t afford to get new stuff.
Well, I hope getting it all out helps a bit; no doubt I’ll just spend all evening crying because I’m too tired to do anything else! Bet my girlfriends will love that one, but at least I don’t have to put up with DH telling me off for it.
Ryn...huge :hug: for you. I wish there was something I could do or say to help you...I'd give you a real hug if you were closer and btw I think you look beautiful.
I hate not being able to sleep on my stomach! I cant get comfy in bed, sick of being kicked when all i want to do is sleep....
Also, i want to be able to shave my legs! I cant see them.. I am going to have to get them waxed, then i will have to listen to DF whinge coz it costs money! Oh how will i win?? Being preg in winter is so much easier.
Oh, Jen, I'm with you over the being kicked awake and can't get comfy! I really hope you get some good nights soon. Could your DF not do your legs for you? A couple of days in and he'll probably pay for your wax without complaint!
Ryn, read your post and I hope it helped to vent. It sounds like you're having a rough time and I just wanted to say ((HUGS)).
I am so over m/s! I didnt really get it in T1 but for some reason i have it now! Um hello body you are a bit slow on the whole thing! I was supposed to get it weeks ago!! Oh and i thought insomnia kicked in a while ago, well i was wrong! I average on about 4.5hrs sleep these days. I am so lucky DS goes to school 2 days a week and i have a great DF who takes him out if i cant sleep! I turned the tv off at 9:30pm and didnt sleep till 12:30am... Only 11 weeks 2 days to go..
Oh my,
Big hugs to you all :hug: !
My vent really is that i have an 8mth old and preganant with the second and my head seems to be in the toilet bowl day in and day out:mad: !
Dh thinks i am bunging it on of course, men i tell you they have no friggin idea and i wish that they would understand a little more sometimes.
Apart from that i feel my day never ends i have an 8mth old who is into every thing and i cant even go to the loo in peace or have a shower! Dh gets home and has his time and by the time that has finished i have fed DD, Bathed her and organising dinner he plonks himself in front of Tv and does nothing. His words are i had such a hard days work i am nacked..... AHHHHHHH I'll give you a hard days work mate!!!!
Anyway i went off last night must be hormones or am i being a ***** i don't know! Well he couldn't believe it and actually put his washing in the cupboard and helped:) me for once. I said thabkyou and i hope it stays like this cause when the next one comes you will be helping alot more as there will only be 15mths apart.
Finally i think he will help but see how long it will last?????????
Anyway thats my vent Men i think they are all the same some times!
Hugs to everyone and tell me if i am being a ***** or just hormonal as the 1st pregnancy i wasn't like this at all. Maybe its going to be boy this time?
Jen:cool:
Oh Jen, that's great that your dh helped out a bit, I had to have stern words with my dh too, it's hard for them to understand just how exhausting this whole thing is.
I think what also helped us was other women (our mums, my friends) and other father friends telling him also that is really is hard work to be pregnant! That helped him understand that though I was dramatic about it (pregnancy does that), I really wasn't making it up or exaggerating it.
Just keep communicating, try and understand him and help him understand you :hug:
And understand that sometimes men have rocks for brains and if you need to throw a few things at him to get through to him, well...
But HUUUUUGE hugs to you all girls, I remember how crapola I felt, eugh, I don't envy you! But I do feel for you - take care of yourselves, and find other people who will look after you too :)
Little note: Just having a smile to myself, my last pregnancy vent was pretty much 24hrs before I went into labour! I was pretty feral the whole day before, so if you get major crabbyness and downright b!tchiness when you're due...get your dh on alert :P
Take care girls.
LMAO, Nelle @ your reason for editing...
