The Pregnant Womans Moan Thread.

How Strange

It's flying in now. Once I got over 30 weeks I started thinking of the hospital bag, listening to my gentle birth cds, washing clothes, getting things sorted in work to handover etc. I've yet to do any of these but I've been thinking about them!

Ok mine's not much of a moan but how sad is it that I cant even read the description of a food show (ie; man vs food) and not have the nausea rise up! Its text ffs! Madness.

Does anyone else get that?

Yes Pat, I get that too!!! I also regularly have to walk out of a room if people are discussing food, it's awful

It did during first trimester for me. And the odd time now at 34 and half weeks I find the sight of certain things make me feel sick.

Still itching. Was awake til 4am last night with it. Tried calamine lotion, took anti histamine, tried moisturiser, tried scratching, cried...kept OH awake too then it stopped and I got a few hours sleep. But it has just started up again and has moved onto my arms too. The next 2 months are going to be tough.

I feel so bad for you I had a bit of itching on my bump never lasted but I'd go mad if it did. I was however awake most of the night too counting the hours. I was sure I'd go into labour so tender and the pressure down low but around 6 I passed out

So tired today, and so hot in work. thankfully no one is annoying me in work today (hopefully i haven't spoken too soon). have my scan tomorrow morning, so excited baby's been moving about a bit which is good because it was quiet for a while. some days it seems like pregnancy is so natural, but other times it's so weird to think there's a little baby in there, just underneath my skin! haha it's crazy!

I have scan tomorrow too hubby is comin this time and warning the doc not to say what I'm having I already know thank to her blurting it out 4 weeks ago and it's killing me cause I'm doin my best not to let slip... My dad and hubby try to catch me out and read into what I say but when I say I'll tell ya what it is the answer is NO! So annoyin!! My bub is massively active they told me this since I was 13 weeks. Iv felt all the activity since 16 weeks and now some kicks can mildly hurt really strong.

Goodluck tomorrow.

I had a shocking dizzy spell this afternoon. Usually it only lasts for 10 minutes or so but not today. My head was spinning and I was getting that funny sensation just before you faint. I had to leave work early in a taxi. I couldn't even trust myself to get public transport home. I came home and went straight to bed for a couple of hours.

My son is teething again at the moment so we all had a bad night last night and I think it was a combination of tiredness and low blood pressure.

I can not be the only person that is tired of being tired!!!

Today I got a bit of a scare, went on a bus and it the heating was on full blast. Within minutes I was feeling sick. within ten minutes things started to go a bit hazy. I had to get the bus driver to stop the bus and leave me off at the side of the road. I never felt so faint in my life, and I have actually fainted before. I had to sit on a wall for a few minutes, I felt like death at 41 degrees! I could hardly breathe! After just fifteen minutes and a sugary tea in the nearest village and I was right as rain! The OH went off on me because he is terrified I am not eating enough, I know I should eat a lot more veg and drink about another litre of fluids a day, but I am never a really hungry person, and certain smells turn me right off food. So am now googling veg soup recipes and will boil up a pot tomorrow to eat hopefully frequently.

That said, I am at home now stuffing my face with sausages, seriously just polished off a whole packet of them single handedly!

It is just one of those days!

I'm an emotional wreck! I was in a baby shop today and started looking at one of those baby record books. Was looking at a page where you insert a photo of "Mammy and Daddy before you were born" and I started to well up....I'm welling up again just typing this....Why?? I was mortified in the shop and just had to leave as I was full sure I was going to burst into floods of tears!

So easy to have tearful days! These hormones make us look crazy and unstable to say the least but we should find comfort in known we are actually normal. Even that sounds crazy

uuuuughhhhhh so so angry. you people must think i'm off my rocker. for no reason what so ever, i am angry. i'm stuck in work because i'm waiting for a lift home and instead of appreciating the lift in this weather, i'm pouting and moaning that i've to stay another hour in work. i'm angry at myself for being angry, for wanting to be angry, i know i have to stay calm for the baby but i just want to ducking scream. i am so stressed out with the father of this baby and i just can't do it anymore. i am sick of feeling like i need to go to the toilet 24/7 but then it's a false alarm. i am sick of having to deal with my friend drifting away from me at this beautiful yet hormonal time. i am so tired full stop. wah wah wah. i am feeling so sorry for myself and i am beginning to feel so moody because of it. i sound so selfish in this post. i just want to cry sorry if this seems utterly selfish and bitchy, but i just am so frustrated i don't know what to do.

ps i just read over this and laughed at how stupid i sound!

U don't sound stupid! Moan away!!
This is the place where it's guilt free to be selfish!!!

My moan is that since my baby turned from to breech to proper position it's killing me with it legs!!! I can hardly sit at all without feeling like my ribs are gonna be pushed thru my shoulders!! I wanted this baby to turn more than anything - so I really really should not be moaning!!!
But ow. It hurts... And I'm only 32 weeks... Where the hell is it all going to fit!!!!

Oh I feel it too I'm 35 weeks and it don't half hurt when it kicks. Bed time is fun.

My moan is the fact it's so easy to feel emotional I let it get to me tonight and I googled what I shouldn't of and didn't like what I read so off I went on my cry fest. I don't feel any better for it just as confused as before
Google is the devil at times and we're no longer talkin

How Strange

SS I've been reading your posts about your scan. I've no consoling words but just to let you know I'm thinking of you. And get off google before you drive yourself insane!

My moan is that I'm completely and utterly winded and out of breath to the point of dizziness.i suppose it's how the baby is lying because I was at the hospital earlier this week, got fully checked out and thankfully baby and I are right as rain. I feel like I've been smoking 60 a day for years though. I'm off work this week but don't know how I'll cope over with working over the next few weeks until I finish up.

The joys of being heavily pregnant!

I know the feeling. I, the genius that I am went on twitter the other day. And in an even greater act of genius, I went and clicked on the video's for "Fiction Deaths I am still not over" yeah, three dead doggies later and I am a blubbering mess, God I am an idiot some days.

When will we ever learn. Your told and know better than to look at the pink elephant in the room but just can't help but do it. I knew I'd have no joy but not knowing is hard goin and well iv learnt my lesson for a few more days then I'll resume normal stupidness and google somethin else.

Google is both our greatest ally and worst enemy. It can tell you where to find something you need, but at the same time can scare you senseless if you check certain things. I remember my partner googling something because our son had delayed speech, two consultants and €350 later, he was still unsure. Also I have been freaking over not feeling any movement from the baby until yesterday, google was not my friend on that either!

Yea the no movement would freak me out cause this is an over energised baby has been from the start. I'm pretty sure hubby talks to it when I'm asleep tellin it to attack!! Can't prove it just yet!
I got my scan letter this mornin for next Friday so I'm happy and nervous at the same time don't think ya can win with pregnant woman

Well if you had seen my little one in the dating scan, wouldn't hold still for the photo to take the measurements, so I thought it odd I could feel nothing for so long.

The scan is equal parts exciting and terrifying. Great to see them, but that tiny bit of terror regarding is everything alright.

Synyster Shadow

Amazingly the baby sat still for 13 week scan to get pic and 14 week it showed it's back after it was poked to get it stop sucking its tumb I wanted a pic of that but she wanted the measurements!!!

I hear it's a really clear scan that they do? Does it mean you can nearly see how the baby looks? I need somethin to look forward to and make it less of a stressful day

You see everything down to their little noses. Which is scary, because even in utero my guy had a little boxers nose and he still has it today, I love it!:D

Most everything is clear if the baby is in a good position and often they have their little bits on display so a well aimed scan may accidentally reveal it to you if you are watching carefully, or they could be bashful and show you nothing there.

Synyster Shadow

Aw can't wait for that now. As for what sex the baby is I know already as it got blurted to me 4 weeks ago but hubby don't know or anyone else so I try to keep my mouth zipped I best warm him that he may see. If he did life would be easier.
Really can't wait to see all the good stuff but the reason I'm there will arise quick enough I suspect

Pat McGhee

A stupid trivial moan but I'm p*ssed off nonetheless. After 2 months of living like a virtual hermit thanks to the hyperemesis, I finally feel good enough to want to go out and do something fun. Cinema was decided upon for tomorrow but just checked the listings and there is nothing but sh*te showing. It was the ONE thing I looked forward to. I can't do my usual socialising because they're a big no no with the pregnancy, so now I'm at a loss. I can't go shopping for something nice coz I'm broke, half my family are off to Lanzarote on hols today and I'm so jealous, I can't go out for lunch tomorrow as it's mother's day and everywhere is booked, there's nothing of interest happening around town so it looks like this weekend is another where I'm stuck indoors twiddling my thumbs.

I wouldn't mind but I had to pass on a weekend away last week because of the stupid ms, same with a dinner invitation. I feel so deprived!!!!!! And angry. Stupid hormones won't stop making me cry. All I have to look forward to is work and a snotty demanding boss with snippy comments. AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Synyster Shadow

Feels like one of those weekends. All I want this weekend is my baby here safe and sound. I was awake since 4 this mornin goin over everything in my head about what iv left to do before baby comes iv 4 weeks to go. By 9 this mornin I just wanted to cry. Hubby is tryin to spoil me I'm just in a mood and can't see through it but that's just the hormones. I remember my ms days and they were rotten we had a weekend in Galway in the middle of it and goin for dinner was awful and the breakfast in the b&b the next mornin and I was out like a light at 11 from all the walking around. It's hard to keep up with everyone else that ain't pregnant!
It's mothers day tomorrow and some of the mum's to be are sick some are ready to pop and some have heartburn not how we all envisioned it...

How fun can life be

Pregnancy, contrary to popular belief, is not a barrel of laughs! Huge hugs! The good days are good, the bad are horrific. Nothing goes right.

I was waiting for a bus today in the rain, 50 minutes!!! Had a great afternoon, we celebrated Mother's Dday with a Hot Chocolate and VERY delicious apple pie, yes, we are just that hardcore But seriously cold even after coming home. And the wait made my son act up for a lot of the afternoon so very tired. Cannot wait for a hot shower in a minute! My back is in bits and after taking off my jacket and jumper I realised the rain got in to my underwear and vest and everything. Not nice

Synyster Shadow

I hate gettin wet and I hate even more staying wet! I'm afraid of been in town when or if my waters go so I'm having a bag ready with spare clothes so I can at least not stay wet. As for the embarrassment not much I can do there ah well!!

Couldn't imagine that long in the rain let alone pregnant and with a toddler hats off to you! Hot chocolate sounds awesome though.

How Strange

SS if your waters break there's not enough layers of clothes to keep you dry. No amount of sanitary pads will work either. Mine broke at home and we had all the towels down on the floor and underneath me on the sofa and it still wasn't enough.

Contrary to what the tv shows would have you believe, it's not just one big gush.

I really wouldn't like it to happen to me when I'm out and about. Hopefully it won't this time around.
