The Pregnant Womans Moan Thread.

January

Am I the only one who wouldn't mind my partner going away before the baby was born? Especially if it was planned before we found out I was pregnant? All you can do is go on what your girlfriend wants, if she really doesn't want you to go then just organise something here for you and your mate, so you're close in case anything happens.

Lol I thought I was the only one! If it's planned and flights booked etc, what's the problem? I'm asleep half the time anyway so not great company haha

Nope SarahJ and January........I'd be the same mind as yerselves:)

Wouldn't bother me either, although I'm only coming up to 16 weeks on my first so ask me in September when I've a month to go & my answer could be different.
Hoping to go away myself in September with my mam to a hotel for 2 nights, so couldn't see it being a problem if he wanted to go somewhere too!

Oh if i could get rid of my husband and my 3 kids for a MONTH i would.. i'd have some hope of keeping the house clean for longer than 5 minutes. Spent the whole day yesterday spring cleaning with my newfound energy. looking at it today i might as well have stayed in bed :mad:
On the up side i have the 2 worst rooms cleared out for the party that's in a month. . whats the chances they'll stay clean:rolleyes:

Thanks Squiggler *hugs* For the first 12 weeks I was glad of it, at least it was a positive sign, but its 14 weeks now and it's beginning to get on my wick:D

Finding it harder and harder to waddle places now. Nearly 33 weeks and tossing and turning at night, needing wee's all the time..........and still 7/8 weeks to go! I shouldnt moan really, I can't wait for end of June! :-)

im at 33 weeks today and today im feeling terrified. ive been watching so much "one born every minute" ive completely freaked myself out.

Squiggler

Maybe stop watching it

Worrying isn't going to help at all. Try to relax and think positive thoughts.

How Strange

I purposely avoided that programme when I was almost due. I was nervous enough about labour and giving birth without scaring the living daylights out of myself watching someone else go through it.

tried to watch that the other day - lasted 5 minutes and ended in tears...just don't do that to yourself, there is no point...


still eating anything that doesn't move out of my way quick enough. Not good.

Also a bit paranoid, oming up to week 12 now, and my symptoms are subsiding (to be expected) - which sends me into complete panics about there being no heartbeat, and the baby not growing cause I have no symptoms and all?! Is this normal, and is there anything I can do to calm myself down????

Am 36 weeks and my rib is killing me - is it possible to take it out and then pop it back in after babes is born still have 2 weeks in work left and boss is being pain in backside - feel like getting signed off for the last week due to having a 5 pound alien kicking my insides all the time!

When I was in hospital having my eldest my boss rang me to discuss a client (and i was actually in labour at the time and stupidly took the phonecall) :eek:

I have one word for you..... MEN!!!!!!!!!!!

I did the same the other night. Watching that woman screaming ii wondered why am j doing this again! Survived it twice,I'm sure 3rd time will be a charm! And I remember getting to that stage on my previous pregnancies where I thought - I don't care what I have to go through, I want my baby out, and I want it out now!!

Sore legs today too! Spent all day yesterday and Tuesday on my feet, which I'm not used to being for hours on end...
Suffered last night and this morning as a result- my poor heels were all puffy and my legs and back were in bits! Feet up for the evening I think :rolleyes:

Good call

How far along are you, if you don't mind me asking? I'm just wondering if the pain should have faded by now. I don't remember it lasting so long on my first pregnancy....is there something I'm doing wrong?

Feet have been up since I posted that!

I'm 23 weeks... I have to say, my boobs aren't as sore now as they were up to about week 16 or so... I think being on my feet the last 2 days combined with XL monster boobs triggered the soreness again!
(my nipples however, are a different story- they haven't not been sore and non- pokey since the first pregnancy test! )

Moan 2 of the day- today I'm having a "freaking out about pregnancy/ labour/ prepared-ness/ parenting/ all things babies" day... :eek::eek::eek:

oh no 23 weeks...I'm hoping it'll fade within the next week or so....I've come to the conclusion that it might be my choice in underwear I might have a lurk around the net see if they can make things worse.

Haahaaa oh no....I reckon those freak out days are only going to start getting worse and more frequent...you'll be grand when the time comes...though I doubt that's much help to you now

I'd love if they did like lemas (sp) classes...you know like you see on american TV where they teach you breathing and stuff....that'd be so uselful!

Winnie

Feeling quite breathless today, baby still not turned so its head is still pushing up against rib cage, lungs etc. !

WAT IS WITH THE IRRATIONAL TEARS?!

Have you tried pregnancy yoga? We learned loads of breathing techniques last time that were very useful during delivery, as were the various positions and relaxation exercises. My yoga teacher even sorted out the severe back pain I was having by giving me some poses to do to help shift the baby a bit off my spine.

My moan is that I'm still sick as a dog at 12 weeks and I don't have my first antenatal appointment/scan til 19 weeks. So much for any hope of an accurate dating scan!

Funnily enough, just after post my post I did a bit of googling and pregnancy yoga came up. There were some really helpful hints on the website I found about breathing etc. I might look into doing a few classes a little later. Thanks for that!

My moan for today is clothes....I'm neither big enough for maternity clothes, nor fitting into my regular clothes....went through 20 changes of clothes before heading out to work this morning...I'll be mortified if anyone asks how far along I am and they hear I'm only 4 months

I'm the same - have the button on my trousers open all day, but then trousers keep on slipping down. Think I'm gonna have to try invest in a pair of maternity trousers soon. I bought those button adapter things but at the min my bump isn't big enough so they keep slipping off.

I look ridiculous...the baby belly is kind of pushing everything around...so the flubber that was already there looks 10 times bigger than it should be...unless it's nowt to do with the pregnancy and I should have calmed down during the 'spring roll craving' episodes

Stepped on the scales today and I've lost 2kgs in 2 weeks :eek: My sister calls it pregorexia, thinks it's hilarious that the only time I lose weight is when I'm pregnant. My 21 month old has started singing a little song called 'mammy-mammy-bleugh', where he sings my name prettily and punctuates it with the sound of dry retching. Lovely.
