Aw ducky!
Glad ur going out with ur friend tho :)

I'm feeling awful :( I'm in pain and feel crap!!!
The other night I had painful contractions from 2:30am till 5am every 9-10 mins then they just slowed n I've been having a few irregular ones all day n night since.
But today sharp pains down below and awful back ache all day and I've been feeling so sick all day like I'm gonna throw up :( :( I dunno what all this means! But it's awful! I can't do much with the kids like this :(
Going to my moms on Saturday and she's having the kids while I go lie down for the day. But I dunno what this is all about, is it beginning of labour or what? Sad

Haha lulu, the people in the village I grew up in think they are match makers now I split up with stbxh Hmm they aren't very good at it!

I had a message absolutely ages ago from a friend I haven't seen in about 9 years asking if I would like to meet up for a drink. I messaged her the other day and she said she'll meet up with me. So I'm actually going out ShockShockShock

LuluJakey1 · 08/02/2017 23:36

Ducky, where are you finding all these men 🙂

duckyisback · 07/02/2017 13:54

Well that lasted long. I saved up some money, I had it for a bit. I haven't brought myself anything in ages and I only wear leggings and strappy tops, so I went out and brought a whole outfit for Saturday along with some new make up. It used up all my spare money. He's cancelled Sad. Now I'm feeling right bleh!

I feel like stbxh was right and I won't ever meet anyone else.... and I've wasted a lot of money and organised a baby sitter (which was a pain in the arse!) all for nothing. I can't even go out with any friends cus I don't really have any!

Just after I got told that, another guy asked me out but I just said no. He wasn't my type, but I think I'll be like you cupcake and stay away from men.

Poor ds1 cupcake! Is he feeling any better now? How many rooms does your house have? Did you save ds2 Moses basket and stuff?

My ds fell over earlier and bashed his face and I think he bit his lip because there was quite a bit of blood Sad he keeps saying it's sore and asking me to kiss it better

Cupcake92 · 07/02/2017 09:48

I'm glad I'm not the only one who got the breathlessness Grin I can't do anything without sitting down to catch my breath haha

Going to build the crib today and Moses basket once ds2 is asleep for his nap!
Ds1 is ill.... he has an awful stomach bug! he's that bad he pooed in his sleep last night and woke up covered Shock all over him, his bed covers and his teddy!! I was nearly sick at the sight of it Grin

Oooo good luck on ur date!!! GrinGrin

CupcAke I had the breathless thing!! It was awful! Has stbxh been helping out?

I have another date for Saturday now Blush so nervous! X

Cupcake92 · 05/02/2017 19:31

Hello!!
Sorry I've been distant. I am literally exhausted :(
Did anyone else get breathless even just going down the stairs?
I'm so breathless.
He's very low down and it's aching my back too :(

Aww ducky. U need THE perfect man next so a depressed one isn't the one! U need someone to be able to pick u up when your down and treat u etc :)

I'm off men for a very very long time Grin

Lulu how's the pregnancy going?

OP posts:
duckyisback · 04/02/2017 20:51

Thanks lulu. I haven't heard from him again.

Do you have any birth plan this time? Or are you just going to see what happens?

How you doing cupcake?

LuluJakey1 · 04/02/2017 08:58

Don't be down, be glad you didn't get involved with another man who is a 'drainer'. Don't contact him again Ducky, he will draw you into this. You deserve someone who is mentally well-balanced and knd to you- not another 'me me me' self-obsessed and self-indulgent man.

duckyisback · 03/02/2017 21:47

That's why it won't go ahead I think lulu Sad I dealt with stbxh sucking the life out of me for 10 years so can't go through anything that could do that again.

Just feeling down now, I'd been saying to my friend for quite a while now that I liked him. Then that happened. I had been smiling all day, but now just feel kind of blah Sad

LuluJakey1 · 03/02/2017 21:01

You don't want a depressed man anyway- he'd suck the life out of you.

duckyisback · 03/02/2017 19:42

Yea don't think it's going to happen.

It's someone who lives by my grandad. I'd known him when we were little bit lost contact. Started seeing him about recently and started messaging today.

He asked me to go for a drink and I said yes. We had been messaging all day non stop. But about an hour ago it kind of slowed down and was seeming kind of disinterested.

Then about 15 mins ago he said he felt like shit, I said why, he said he felt depressed and just wants to sleep so I just kind of left it at that Sad

Kind of gutted tbh now.

LuluJakey1 · 03/02/2017 19:16

Oooh who? Is he nice? How did that happen? When is it? Where are you going? 😉

duckyisback · 03/02/2017 18:47

I think I just agreed to a date with someone BlushShockShockShockShockShock

duckyisback · 02/02/2017 21:46

Did you bf ds2 cupcake? I can't remember?

I still haven't heard anything regarding the divorce, just can't wait until it's all over and done with.

I'm sick of seeing pictures of stbxh girlfriend sat in my house, using my stuff but unfortunately until this is over I can't delete him as I need to take evidence of stuff, like when he's saying he can't afford to pay a penny towards his kids yet he's taking her out for meals, buying a whole new wardrobe and buying her flowers and booze and take always and going to concerts.

I think he's trying to get my name removed from the mortgage too secretly so he can keep the house. It's a long story but to cut it short, on our income (my income!) we shouldn't have got a mortgage as big as we did, but stbxh grandad was very very high up in the bank, he'd passed away but his dad still had connections there, so our mortgage was 'dodgy' and done through his connections. I'm worried that he may actually be able to remove my name somehow which would leave me without a penny from the house I had paid for, every bill, I had paid to decorate and furnish. He had everything. But I spose we will cross that bridge when it comes to it.

Cupcake92 · 02/02/2017 20:14

How's the divorce going ducky?

OP posts:
Cupcake92 · 02/02/2017 20:14

No she's literally round the corner from me Grin

It's easier to just share a room Grin
Tho ds2 is good as gold and does sleep in his cot all night in a room by himself! Ds1 is next to me in my bed. But when baby is here will be easier if ds1 is in his own bed to incase ds2 wakes up there's somewhere he can go and I can still have room to lay and feed baby.

Going to be trying hard to breastfeed. Just to help myself out especially at night so I don't have to get up and down to make bottles. Not sure how it will work out tho Grin

OP posts:
duckyisback · 02/02/2017 15:04

Oooh exciting cupcake! Is your cousin far from you? We all share a room too Grin

Cupcake92 · 02/02/2017 09:21

I'll be having him on Monday 27th Feb! So this month Shock I'm really nervous. And they couldn't give me a straight answer they said maybe I have diabetes but saw I had passed my glucose test. So they dont rele know why his stomachs grown fast. But my heart rate was quite high so I'm having to have that checked regularly now. Just a nightmare. I've no idea how I'm going to cope with recovery :(
I might ask my cousin to come and stay with me for a week or 2 cuz I need to be home I can't go to my moms to live for a few weeks and I can't get my mom to come stay here as she has my brother to take care of.

I need to get things ready tho. Nothing's ready. Need to wash crib and Moses basket stuff and set it all up I need to try get ds1 back into his bed at night. It's crowded in here lol I might have to bring ds1's bed into my room and get him sleeping in it in my room. I'm getting nervous now Grin

OP posts:
LuluJakey1 · 01/02/2017 21:41

I'm almost 28 weeks. Only 12 to go, over 2/3 of the way there.

What did they mean Cupcake - about his stomach? It can't be too worrying or they would do it immediately- I hope.

duckyisback · 01/02/2017 21:00

Thank you cupcake.

Sorry to hear your appointment didn't go as you wanted Sad what does that mean if his stomach is growing fast? What date is it?

Cupcake92 · 01/02/2017 16:28

I'm having a csection at 38 weeks 1 day. They are worried as his stomachs growing at a fast rate.

:( :(

Oh ducky bless u :(
Ur stbxh is an idiot!
Happy birthday to ur dd1 Halo Flowers

I have my scan and consultant apt tomorrow. Very very nervous as I'm going all by myself :( I've never had a scan alone before so this will be weird. Just hope everything's okay with baby.

duckyisback · 29/01/2017 23:12

Went out with the new pushchair today, there were a couple of small doors but I managed to get through dragging it sideways. Looked a bit silly but I did it! Ds enjoyed it at first, but the decided he was bored and wanted to 'run away' Hmm he kept shouting that he was stuck! And he kept putting his feet across dd which he thought was funny, she wasn't impressed.

It is dd1's birthday this weekend Sad she would have been 3. I've wound myself up again as stbxh brought his gf a huge bouquet of flowers, I bet any money he will not put even a single flower on dd 1's grave for her birthday. He's only been there twice. Once was for the funeral and the second time was because I asked him to come with me because he hadn't been there.

I'm having a tough week this week but suspect it's because of the time of year. I'm hoping next week I will feel better once it's all done with.

duckyisback · 28/01/2017 13:35

Ha lulu I hope he touched wood after as there is still time Grin is this pregnancy a lot different from with ds you think?

Cupcake Angry stbxh should want to be there!! That's rubbish going on your own, you need someone for support! Could your dm come with you? My hosp have never let dc in the scans but they did let ds in with me because of what happened with dd1 I needed my dm with me for support because i was always so anxious and there was no one else to have ds.
