Ill add to the tiredness also, just feel wrecked today....silly i've sore legs also but its the frount of mine, at the shins feel like i walked miles but havent been doing much!!

Only things i know worked for leg cramps on my previous pregnacies was drinking more water to keep hydrated and bananas for potassium and sometimes stretchin before bed helped!! Hope it stops soon...

oh my back is killing me since yesterday all i can say is thank god i have the next 3days off work x

kildareash

Must be something in the air ladies, because I woke up this morn and my back is aching too. Been awake since half 7 too

OH is away for the weekend and I don't know if it's the hormones or what but I feel like I'm pining for him, which is not usually like me. We'd be quiet independent and I've loads of plans for the weekend but I just feel miserable because he's not here. Hope I'm not turning into one of those clingy girlfriends!

Mink

Sore back here too! Got a cushion for work which is wedge shaped and has cut out at the back for my tailbone as that's where most pain. Went to my chiro last night and that's helped loads, feel nice and loosened up. I got to lay on the special pregnancy pillow it's got a big cut out for bump and then two for the boobs. Was able to lie face down and it was sooooo comfortable, would love one for home!

I find I'm quite clingy to OH now as well, and he's like that with me. We're usually very independent of each other but now it's weird like we're drawn to each other. I think the bump is a magnet! I'd be seriously freaking out if he had to go away for a week or weekend, which is not like me at all.

For heartburn sufferers, the Rennies Rapeze tablets are gorgeous. Just like sweets. So glad I found them!

Weak pelvic floor muscles and vomiting... really not a good combination... kinda embarassing really.

16 weeks left now... :P

Cadyboo

Mink am going through a stage with my OH also. Don't want him to go anywhere and normally I'm like off you go..
Am really emotional crying over stupid things.:o
Swollen ankles and feet all the time...
Feel hungry a lot. Crave something, make it and then don't want it when I start eating so am back to square one!!!:mad:
4 weeks left.

Saurelin

Cadyboo, poor you. I have this same problem with feets.
i bought shoes that are size bigger and looks like one my grandmother used to wear and they help a little.
oh and cooling lotion with lime from avon

Moan: when people tell you to make sure you enjoy all your lie-ins until the baby comes.

Oh yes, I can get so much sleep seeing as i wake up dying for the loo every half hour, and when im not waking up for that reason, i wake up cos my back and hip are sore and I need to flip to the other side (which is SUCH a simple, graceful motion to pull off, and doesn't involve any unsexy grunty moany noises at all). And then in the morning my back is so sore that i have to get out of bed, regardless of whether I need more sleep or not :-P

Bright side: at least its preparing me for the lack of sleep when babs arrives in 5 weeks. Eeeeeep :-P

Kash

My only moan is that hubby has left for Budapest this morning, and won't be home until April 14th. I wish his job didn't involve so much travel.

Very much dislike Kash. Hopefully the time will go quickly for you both.

God that used to drive me NUTS!

Also I find the lack of sleep/tiredness completely different WITH the baby than when I was pregnant. When I was pregnant, I was lying awake. Could not sleep for love or money. Now, when I have the chance to sleep I drop off straight away, it's just that those opportunities are less frequent!

I really hope this is the same for me. I'm a hopeless napper, I just lay there and can't drop off. OH drives me nuts, he's asleep within 30 secs and snoring away. He can nap at will also. I know I'll need to try grab naps when baby sleeping for first while but don't know how to.

Kash

Same here - I have never been able to nap. I hope that will change when Miss Melody makes an appearance!

oh my god, just had a friend of mine over for tea and a catch up, she got engaged about a month ago and was telling me all about her party that they are having in 2weeks time and she just said to me that because i won't be drinking that i shouldn't bother coming to the party, Im so ****ing pissed off right now, like just because Im pregnant doesn't mean that i can't have fun grrrr

What would annoy me about that is not that she thinks cos you're pregnant you can't have fun, but the fact that she thinks you can only have fun if you are drinking. It's very juvenile!

Kash

Wow! Most people are fully capable of having fun AND being fun without alcohol.

Now that I am pregnant I do tend to cut nights out short (considering that most parties I go to would rock on until the sun comes up), but I would be really pissed off if I was told not to bother coming at all - and none of my friends would ever even suggest it. I'm actually a bit shocked that someone did!

Betsie_xr3i

oh i know Im so pissed off with her, still can't believe she said it, i don't drink often anyway so its wouldn't be the 1st time i have been out with her with no drink

What a b*tch, not only was what she said idiotic and rude , but the fact that she was harping on to you about the party beforehand seems like she was trying to rub your face in it. Grr. I don't blame you for being annoyed :-P

As for me, I decided to treat myself to some microwave popcorn. NEVER AGAIN!!! I ate waaay too much and my massive stomach must have been cramping my lodger's style, he literally kicked it back out of me. Now im sore, I feel like a pig for eating so much and I feel rank because I got so sick.
It reminded me of the morning sickness, to all the ladies currently suffering with it (who Im sure want to throw something at me for moaning about being sick when i totally inflicted it on myself), I say keep the chin up, once its over you forget all about it and you can focus on all the positives! :-)

People are so bloody stupid. Have you got her a present? If not then don't...

My friends haven't asked me out since I got pregnant. They would ring me on a Sunday telling me about their night out the night before and I was like... What about me? I suggested Id go the next night but they told me the bars they were going to were too busy. Haven't had much contact throughout pregnancy because I am now an invalid and they would have to mind me.. Ridiculous. But I will not be making contact when I have the baby and they all think they can come round for cuddles all the time. :mad:

Oh and I am now 37 weeks and one of my friends bday is next week. Asked what she was doing and she said going out. At this stage now I won't go out because I'd be afraid I'd be bumped, so I was about to suggest we go for dinner. And as I was saying "sure me and you could" she butted in with "and I wont be going for dinner or lunch either because Im on a diet"!!! I was extremely hurt as I can't go out to celebrate. She has a child and I was there for her from day one of her pregnancy all through his life, he is 8 now.

Ladies I can't get over all the inconsiderate bitchy 'friends' out there :eek: Worse are the one's that have children and should no better, it's not like pregnancy is contagious :rolleyes:

It's a bug bear of mine even when I'm not pregnant, I rarely drink & the amount of people that assume I can't/won't have fun without drink is ridiculous :rolleyes:
I enjoy myself far more without drink on board, I find I'm less inhibited or anxious of making an eejit of myself than I might be if I was drunk!
Does get a bit of a pain in the ass being the designated driver though.
Rant over

No pregnancy rants this week, found out the sex of our baby (boy ) and all is looking lovely & healthy so can't complain

Betsie_xr3i

no i have no present for her and im in no rush to get one for her, im after being invited to a 30th the same night as her party now so guess where im going haha

IvyTheTerrible

God that is shocking that your friends are so inconsiderate! I would be using that sort of behaviour as a friend-filter tbh...plenty of nicer people out there!

Luckily I didn't have to deal with that sort of thing when I was pregnant...half of my friends over here are either pregnant or have babies. And there is less emphasis on drink as part of a night out over here too.

kildareash

Some people don't have a clue, but you would expect women who have kids to know better.

I can see relationships changing. My closest friend is still single, I'd say my pregnancy has probably been hardest for her coz I wasn't out over Xmas, either was she. I'd say she'll find other girls to socialise with, just so she has someone on nights I can't make it or for the next few months while I'm not drinking.
But I can see myself getting closer to a few other girls who before now wld have only been aquintances or other halves of boyfriends friends because we're due around the same time. One girl whose having her second has already said we will meet up with the babies because she found her first maternity leave quite lonely once the fuss had died down.

I suppose it's all part of the life cycle.

Ms2011

Moody, moody, moody :'(

OH has been sick for the past couple if days so I've been playing nurse maid but today I could just throttle him, no reason in particular I'm just finding him so irratating, which I feel bad about cos he is genuinely sick!

4 days to go & I'm tired, sore & miserable :-(

kildareash

Stupid gallstones...haven't had an attack since Xmas but stupidly had some chilli chicken dish from the chinese last night, must have sent me
Over the edge.

Cld hardly talk with the pain a couple of hours ago, althought it was the same type pain that I had experienced a good few times before, i was really worried about babs. By the time was seen by emergency doc the pain was just about gone but she found it difficult to find baby's heartbeat. We were freaking out, but she said it was the machine and assured us everything was ok!

Before i got preggers it was well worth the €60 for the painkilling injections they wld give...think I panic myself more now knowing I can't have it which makes the pain worse. Still that was my first attack since Xmas, so I have been managing it pretty well.

two moans in one...stupid gallstones and stupid foetal heart monitor!

caprilicious

Ms2011 I know the feeling. My other half is to be fair suffering a lot with tendonitis, but my goodness am I hearing all about it!
I was discharged from hospital at lunchtime after a painful night of false labour & feel like I have been kicked up and down the garden, but haven't so much as an 'are you ok?' since we got home :rolleyes:

Kildareash I sympathise with the gall stones, that sounds incredibly painful my mum is waiting for a diagnosis to confirm if she has them and she has been in agony with them
I hope the pain eases soon. Certainly didn't help the foetal monitor not working either :eek: glad you got reassurance there though, not like the doctor that told me 'she couldn't find baby's heartbeat' then took 10 mins to return to bring me for a scan :eek:

cyning

Ms2011 your nearly there! Bet you can't wait

Ouch Kildareash: not nice on the gallstones but even worse on the heartbeat :mad:

And Cap your's was even worse: I'd be a nervous wreck.

Vomiting back, bump hurts like hell and i have back pain and thigh pain and i have no idea why: feel like crap and need to go for shower cuz have doc later and i'm pretty weak which means I need to get someone to be here in case i faint: pregnancy sucks sucks sucks :mad::mad: moan moan moan :rolleyes:

Ms2011

I feel a bit guilty having a whinge now ladies considering the pain you all seem to be in.
A good nights sleep last night has boosted my resolve a little today, it's amazing how down you can get without a good sleep

Kildareash, Cap & Cycing hope you're all feeling better soon x

kildareash

Sleep...the answer to some of life's problems! At least the end is in sight and hubby can pamper and look after you for a few days

Cyning, I feel so sorry for you. I'd say you're wishing the days and weeks away till babs arrives and all the sickness is gone. Hope doc can shed some light on back and thigh pain and the vomitting goes away again soon. ***hugs***
