New thread over here Hope its OK and see you over there!
Diege, I had something similar about 8 months after having DD1 then again a couple of months after DD2, I've never had piles (grin) but I was bleeding a LOT of bright red blood (enough to turn the water red and big drips in the toilet) and had the broken glass pains with every poo. I never did get round to going to the doctor but it took a good couple of months to heal each time. Btw, the best bottom-friendly way to poo is to squat, so I used to climb up and crouch on the toilet seat - much easier and waaaay less painful!

Oh and can I join in with the complaining?

- I have insomnia
- I am exhausted
- I'm still being sick sometimes
- I have the beginnings of vulval varicose veins again (had them badly with DD2)
- My jeans keep falling down and I can't find any that fit - apparently I'm just a stupid shape
- I have no idea how I'm going to cope with another baby
- My home is a mess and I have no energy to do anything about it
- my children are being neglected and I'm finding it hard to care
- My boobs are growing stupidly fast but are REALLY painful and feel like bags of rocks
Go for it STT!
Glad you got CD LBOX smile, don't thank me, thank SORKY grin
TINKS, I would just go to chemist and get something like diflucan (oral tablet) that should clear it up pretty quick (though pricey). My GP just prescribes and doesn;lt take a swab etc for thrush, so if you just want quick results and don't mind paying, I'd just go to chemists.
Right, better go. J's been grisley all pm and has brought up lots of milk, so will see how he goes with this feed.

Crikey - any new thread title suggestions?

Umm, something to do with wagons, whinging, winding and teething?
Sorry for just ignoring everyone else blush

Diege - sorry you are suffering but I would go to GP.

Tink - I would try to get an appointment as you will be away if thrush treatment doesn't help.

Kay - yah for teeth
Hi STT and LBOT

Can I join the whinge?

I am GRUMPY.

- I have insomnia and can't get comfortable at night
- I have restless leg syndrome
- I am exhausted but don't have the sense to plan less so am crazy busy all week, late nights and full days
- I have heartburn and keep belching
- I have don't piles (yet) thank god
- My jeans and trousers are uncomfortable and I can't find any that fit - apparently I'm just a stupid shape
- I'm hungry but feel too full to eat and get indigestion when I do
- I'm shitting myself about the birth and I've still got 10.5 weeks to go till due date but am also totally impatient to get there (stupid contrary person that I am)
- I have no idea how I'm going to cope with a baby, I know nothing!
- My home is a mess and I have no energy to do anything about it
- I feel totally unprepared for this baby, in every sense yet can't figure out what to do to get prepared.
- I can't relax when listening to the hypnobirthing CD's
- My birthing ball is flat and DH won't help pump it up
- I don't even understand some of the exercises I'm supposed to be doing plus I keep promising myself I WILL do pelvic floor exercises, breathing exercises and try to sit forwards to encourage baby to get ready but am too bloody busy, tired and fed up to get round to any of it.

That's it for now, but will probably think of more...

I felt great up until 2 weeks ago. What has happened???

wow kay he is doing well having 2 teeth

diege - i suspect probably thrush :-
with having the implant put in them 3 mnths of periods non stop then being put on pill hav been taking for a mnth periods stopped straight away :- now dryer

right ladies do i :-

number 1 - ring up gum clinic and try and get appmnt when they open today 4:30-6:30pm
or
number 2 - get dh to buy thrush treatments on the way hom

main reason is we go away to centre parcs on monday so want it be cleared up.

stt - lol

insomnia - have you tried paracetemol before bed i found this helped when pregnant
exhaustion - try and sit if possible
food - just eat what you can
birth- try not to worry you have done it before you will have a gorgoues baby
dont worry about mess do what you can get dh to help
get dh 2 pump up ball luved min sat on it while watching tv

received dd1s rosebud bday bits they r great
good timing as she was @ nursery all day
luved her party
they had a puppet and magic show and games
Afternoon ladies grin

Diege - I meant to say ages ago THANK YOU fro the CD! It arrived the day after you sent it. How rude of me to have not thanked you! blush

As for piles...well, I can sympathize!

STT can I steal your list? These all apply to me too!:

I am GRUMPY.

- I have insomnia
- I am exhausted
- I have heartburn
- I have piles
- My jeans trousers keep falling down are just incredibly uncomfortable and I can't find any that fit my huge bump
- I'm totally off my food
- I'm shitting myself about the birth
- I have no idea how I'm going to cope with another a baby
- My home is a mess and I have no energy to do anything about it
- I feel totally unprepared for this baby, in every sense

Oh, and I just bought five pair of granny pants sad

<<sigh>>

I know its normal - at least that's what I'm telling myself, but I still feel like stamping my feet and crying.

It doesn't help either that DH has just announced that he doesn't think he's up to the job of 'birth partner', I think I'm putting too much pressure on him and now he thinks he can't do it - I just want him to make some kind of effort and show some kind of interest - but its really like he doesn't give a shit. He was the same last time.

Am also wondering if perhaps I should just opt for an elective CS. That would take all the uncertainty out of it wouldn't it.
Oh STT grin. I shouldn't laugh but there are so many on your list that are just so familiar (not inc. the piles wink. ) Birth ball and jeans were biggies for me grin. I prescribe a trip to the shops for treats and a big reassurance (touching on the condescenidng) that it is all perfectly normal to feel like this wink
