Was in town today, went to the protest for a while and then got caught to meet the MIL. She was giving out my son wouldn't eat the cake she bought, it was rose flavoured, can't see a 4 year old alive that would willingly eat that! Then wanted to get his shoes sized, and was complaining he needed new ones. Now I am not going to say for one moment I am not grateful for her forking out for not one, but two new pairs of shoes for him, but I wonder somedays is the complaining she does worth it. It also involves having to go to 3 different dept stores with her and rake through all the women's departments, with a big belly and a bored 4 year old that is not fun! Era sure, tis done now as they say. I am just so sore from being in a pair of wet converse all afternoon. Flat soles and loads of standing is not fun!
Also, I have thread veins. On my thighs and a few on my belly. I have the legs of a 96 year old at 26. I just want to cry
I feel so crap about it.
I was sorting a few things yesterday and I found a bag of clothes that I forgot to wash from before I got big (slightly embarrassed to admit) a load of my size 8-10 clothes in it. Looking at them now is depressing, I know if I eat well and look after myself I will be back to that in no time. But still feel shítty.
And my bellybutton has popped out, much to the disgust of my partner, which is hilarious really, since he thinks pregnancy resembles the movie Alien! But some days (like today) it makes me feel crap because I know as much as he tries to hide it, he finds my belly almost grotesque at the moment, which brings me down. I think I should just eat my lovely left over pizza and go to bed. I don't think anything other than a good sleep will cheer me up in my current mood.
Dear Jesus, I am sorry for the sheer amount of moans I have today, I just needed to let it all out!
Red Fraggle I had the cramp feeling for a few weeks too. But as pothers have said, if you have any concerns, talk to your doctor. And I don't envy anyone in the ms stage, I will never miss it! It must be hard with another little one so dependent on you too.0 -

Congrats red fraggle! U had ur little one just a month before me last yr
I had bad cramps with her up til about 9 weeks, and cramps to a lesser extent this time around for the first couple of months! Think it's just usually stretchy nestling in pains and nothing to worry about! I booked a scan at about 9 weeks this time as just wanted to be sure all was well. It's so hard to relax those first few weeks! Not that I'm exactly zen like now.....

Wolfpawnat ya gotto love the MIL's they sure do know how to wind us up even when their intentions are good!!!!
My hubbie still presents to find me attractive bless him... I've seen the mirror.. It ain't pretty!!
I was a size 10 before first pregnant and in the 4 months between pregnancies I had lost all the baby weight but still only fitted into 12 jeans etc - my body shape had not recovered! I hate to think what it's gonna be like now after the 2 so together!!
Last time I used breastfeeding as excuse to eat all around me! Altho to be fair it does spur on an appetite!! But this time I'm adamant ill behave better after! I've eaten so much chocolate & cake this pregnancy my poor child is going to suffer sugar withdrawal!!!!0 -

And as soon as they get they + on the test, they don't care about every one else "I'm pregnant, I am boss since I can't do anything" I have a friend pregnant too, and she thinks since she is pregnant she should do no travelling, "Sure I am too" I stated one day, "Yeah, but you have a 4 year old to help you" What good is a four year old? they can be a stress, I either have to push a buggy or walk him, but I am not one of these women who lets being pregnant get in the way of what has to be done.
But her ringing me to see if I am going to Tesco to get her several different things and then head to hers with them in bad weather because she is doesn't like to go out in the bad weather equal parts drives me mad and makes me laugh. She closer than I am, but there is a hill back to her house. I did it once, because she is due after me so you know MS, you like to help people.
I will take so much BS and hold my tongue, but when I let loose, I am truly a born bítch and I have a tongue of acid. Some people are getting close to my limit. My partner cannot understand how I am still biting my tongue.
But I know your pain.
Omg did she actually ring you to ask you to get stuff for her in tesco???? She was due after you and made you walk the hill back to hers? It's so outrageous i can see how you would laugh!
I don't know how you're still biting it too! that takes the bucket! When i let loose, i tend to go crazy too and bring in all sorts of other things and it gets very complicated so i tend to steer clear of that!
i don't bother replying to some messages, then these great answers will come to me, but i don't bother replying coz it's only dragging the arguement out!! 0 -

She is nothing compared to the crazy neighbour who nearly banged my door down the other day trying to yell at me for doing light housework. Not pregnant, just lazy, rings me everyday to see if I am going to Tesco to get her Polish bread (I have no idea what brand it is, there are like 4!) and cigarettes. I went mental at her for the cigarettes one. I told her as a pregnant woman I am not going to subject myself to the dirty looks to get her something she is well able to get herself! She doesn't even make an excuse "But you are there already, I would have to walk" heaven forbid :rolleyes: Her daughter may actually get outside and get some fresh air!0 -

How Strange wrote: »OMG, what a night! Where to start the moaning! First off I got in a strop with my husband because I'd had a midwife app yesterday, told him at least once and then he asks if I did anything during the day!!!
Went to bed, started getting cramps. They def weren't Braxton hicks although the baby was moving loads and loads. These were cramps under my belly and they went on for over 2 hours. So I was lying in bed waiting to seeing at what point do we phone someone to come over to look after our son.
Then our son, who was very unsettled all night with a cough, woke screaming at 2.30am. He'd gotten sick in his cot so we had to take him up, calm him down, clean everything etc. back to bed at 3am but at that stage he was out of his mind with tiredness and cried for a good half hour. These nothing we can do as he won't sleep in our bed so after trying to reassure him once we had to leave him to it.
So I think I got 2 hours sleep, as did my husband (who I very graciously forgave!) and we had one hell of a cranky toddler this morning.
So now I'm on knicker watch for any signs and am half afraid to leave home in case I go into labour.
The timing is awful for the little man to be sick / but seriously - huge yeah on the imminent labour!!!!!!!!!! Very excited for u!!!! If u can get anyone to mind him today pls pls do as you need sleep & rest now so that your going into labour strong! Also try eat done pasta and other carbs today if u can to give yourself some quality energy! Hope this means you'll have ur little bundle soon just try as rest - and forgive the hubbie anything.... They are just not clued in at all... I've given up trying!!! U need him in top form too for the next few days 0
