I'm sure you love her and all, but she is a dope.
I love the bones of her but yes, that exact phrase came to mind for me too
I'm hoping it was just a silly off the cuff remark, we're somewhat limited in support so I kind of need this to work with her. I'll maintain my optimism for the time being!! 0 -

Awake since five. I had to move into the spare room with the noise of my husband. No, he wasn't snoring, jbut he was breathing. His breathing - at 5am this morning, when I'd only slept for four hours - might as well have been a war time siren. Who does he think he is with his respiration and his alive-ness, inconsiderate poopyhead...
I may be a little grumpy today.
:pac:
Things are a little bit up in the air with some family stuff so I told my Mum I was really going to be relying on her help when this little one makes her grand entrance. I was duly informed that while on maternity leave it's my duty to have a hot meal on the table when my husband comes home from work and I have to make an effort not to let my standards of home cleanliness and personal care slip. I honestly don't know whether to laugh my face off or cry with frustration!!
OMG I actually laughed at this! You've been in my house, it's a mess, baby does not care or notice that it's a mess and neither do we. (Well OK I'd love a clean home, but I can't afford a cleaner. It might not be clean, but it's at least hygienic. Ish. ) Give me time playing with my baby over time scrubbing the floors any day. Sure it'll build up his immune system! You only get those few months of maternity leave, you'll never get that time with your baby again, make the most of it. As for the hot dinners and housework in general - it's half and half between myself and boyfriend. Sure it'll be that way when I go back to work anyways so he might as well get used to that routine.
Looking after a new baby is a full-time job. It really truly is! And I say that as someone who's bottlefeeding, you will be breastfeeding, that baby will be literally attached to you! Do not expect or hope to get anything done around the house, just enjoy the precious time with your baby!
You will not look back on your maternity leave and remember that one amazing day you scrubbed the house top to bottom and got all the laundry done. You'll only remember the amazing special moments you had with your tiny baby. That's what this time is all about. Not about feckin housework and dinners! 0 -
Chat your home is a long way from being a mess!! But thank you, you've vocalised a lot of the thoughts I was having and couldn't quite put into words. I've been looking forward to having this baby for my whole adult life and I'm going to enjoy every flipping minute of her

I think some people are just missing a sensitivity chip bobskii :-) Ignore them and enjoy this time after waiting so long.
After my first failed ivf 2 girls in work asked me straight out if I was pregnant cos I looked like I was according to them. I was devastated after everything and was still bloated after the treatment.
Second treatment was grand cos was in December where we were all well wrapped up and everyone was fighting the Christmas bulge while I was quietly growing my bump!!
You might very well regret saying you won't moan. I said the same and in fairness I'm having a very easy pregnancy but now the moaning and groaning is starting a little :-) but I think that's part of the enjoyment!!0 -

Feck them all Bobskii, what you've achieved is amazing !!
So you had to put on a few pounds as a result of the drugs to do it, so flipping what! We're all going to be huge in a few months time anyway (and some of us are already well on the way!) so might as well get started :P0 -

Neyite what do you mean by 'sit sideways on the bed' sorry now it's probably self-explanatory but do you just mean to sit on the side of the bed or to lie on your side? Also I don't understand if your bum is far enough back on the bed to allow your bump to be resting on the bed, how could you be close enough to cuddle your partner sitting on a stool in front of you?
What I mean is sit up, on the side of the bed. Shuffle your bum backwards a little bit on the bed so that the backs of your thighs are also on the bed, spread your legs and lean forwards so your bump rests on the bed. Then you are able to lean forward a bit more because your bump is not resting on your lap, but lower.
Your partner sits on a stool and positions himself facing you between your legs he leans forwards into you and supports you so your weight is not on your bump or your back.
I was able to put my arms around my partners shoulders and my face into his neck and his hands were on my waist. When a contraction would come, I would put my hands on his biceps and push against him while he held me firm. It seemed to help me immensly, far more than when I was curled up on my side.
Its basically one of the three positions they can put you in for administering an epidural so if you ask the midwife about the sitting position, thats the one. 0 -

My moan today is that the worry doesn't stop at 40 weeks!
So my beautiful baby girl Christine was born on Wednesday. Unfortunately an emergency CS was needed but we're both doing great. I'm still in hospital and I just find I'm worrying about EVERYTHING! For example, my milk came in yesterday and she seems to be latching on well and has a great suck. But she only feeds for 15-20 mins and then that's her for 3 hours. Sometimes I have to wake her to feed. She has wet nappies and I know she is feeding as my boobs are softer after she feeds. But I'm just worried she's not feeding enough and sleeping too much! Also she isn't having a load of dirties yet, though the ones she has are yellow.
The midwives are great and are telling me not to worry but I can't help it!
Other than that, she is perfection personified and I can't believe we have made something so beautiful and perfect. I also can't believe she's a girl! I was sure she was a boy, I keep having to pinch myself to believe my luck.
congratulations on your little bundle arriving. Just sinething my mum said to me, you'll never not worry again. It's what mun's do
With regards feeding, babies take what they need and starting off it's very little. They only have tiny tummies. She'll let you know when she's hungry and feeding will increase. Also, they sleep loads. I couldnt believe how much our little woman slept. Take this time to relax and rest when she does.
Enjoy every min. You're already an amazing mum x0 -

You have to squat down on your haunches to reach low stuff as opposed to bending. Learned this in preg yoga and have been doing it for the last 2 months instead of bending.
That's interesting. I've been advised NOT to squat at all in the last couple of months. The midwife said that it can force the baby down into an unfavorable position before its ready to engage naturally so any kind of squatting is ill-advised. I think it's probably fine until you get to the more advanced stages. I'm 34 weeks now and fear if I was to squat right now the little man would come flying out!! 0 -
Isolt , i think i can empathise with your pain (literally ). Getting the odd round ligament pain e.g. turned too quickly in bed yest and ouchies!
Also find that it is getting increasingly difficult to bend over!! I am already struggling with taking shoes/ runners on and off and OMG what's it gonna be like as bump gets bigger?!! I'm 24+5 so if the bending is hard now.....YIKES ! Anyone else having this prob so soon already ?
I'm 24 + 3 and finding bending over hard too. It's actually pretty uncomfortable, even to put shoes on! I am hoping this is just the initial phase of getting used to having a proper bump and that we'll get used to it.... right? 0 -
