Sending you hugs swiss hopefully he will come to his senses soon

NervousAt20 · 26/07/2012 12:35

Thinking of you swiss hope you and your DD are both okay! And hope you have lots of RL support and you always have us lot here anytime you need us :) HUG

Swiss obviously no-one else knows what it's like to be on the inside of another couple's relationship BUT it usually takes 2 to make or break it. It is very unlikely to be your fault alone. I would hazard a guess he said it to hurt you. Try to keep it together enough to get through the day each day and worry about the big picture when you've had some time to mentally start dealing with it.

As a slightly related aside, my hormones/being on the pill caused MASSIVE issues between my DH & I in the first couple of years of our relationship. It broke us up.briefly, as I became a horrendous bitchiness with PMT. Genuinely, I lost the plot each month. Pg does strange things to your hormones. Thankfully for my sanity/marriage, I am ok when pg (although have my moments) but DH knows it will pass, because of our past. He often has to be very, very tolerant/patient, far more than I am with him. We do have some big rows but we have to suck it up after and apologise.

Hopefully Swiss a bit of time and space to get some perspective would help your DP twig the same sort of thing??! Perhaps some time with Relate or similar could help you both? hugs

swiss I hope things get better for you it must be a horrible situation esp being pregnant.

chick it sounds like the same low hormone I've got which is why I'm having extra scans and I'm on daily aspirin. It should say on your test results how low the hormone is, your mw should know too I'm surprised no one has spoken to you about it.

MadamGazelleIsMyMum · 26/07/2012 13:46

swiss sorry to hear your news. Hope you have good RL support. Vent away on here.

Have finally done my first bit of shopping for this baby, picked up a sling at a car boot sale! Last of the big spenders, me!

Off to see MW this arvo, to discuss achy hips, prospects of GD given baby measured about 26+5 at 24 week scan, and generally whether this will affect decision to VABC or ELCS.

Also due to have growth scans at 28 and 32 and 36 weeks, but that is due to being a lard arse.

DesperateHousewife21 I will take a look at my notes again, but I'm pretty sure there is nothing on there. Thanks for the heads up. All very strange.

TitsalinaBumSquash · 26/07/2012 14:32

This heat is crippling me today, the kids are fed up and bored, I'm fed up and tired and uncomfortable.

DesperateHousewife21 · 26/07/2012 15:45

I'm sunning myself in my sisters garden while her kids entertain my ds, lovely!

Chunkychicken · 26/07/2012 15:45

I'm in a weird mood today. Very happy/content I suppose, but haven't wanted to eat properly, been picking at things (left over Pringles, a few biscuits etc) but no proper meals. Very unusual for me, more so for preggo me Confused

WaitingForMe · 26/07/2012 15:58

I'm in a funny mood as well. I went to my weekly networking breakfast and forgot the name of my business!

"Good Morning I'm WaitingForMe from... umm..."

Felt really inept and upset ever since despite getting two new jobs and booking two slots at a workshop I'm running. The sun is shining, my baby is kicking and business is going well yet I want to curl up and cry Confused

ValiumQueen · 26/07/2012 16:00

I have decided to go back to cloth! I have some Fuzzis, but have decided to try Little Lamb Bamboo nappies at night time with DD2 as she is soaking every morning in disposables. The Fuzzis never worked well overnight, so I started a thread on here, and was recommended LL bamboos. If they work well I will get some for new baba at night.

applepieinthesky · 26/07/2012 16:51

Woah, just felt some seriously strong kicks. Stronger than any I?ve had so far. Really high up as well and I have an anterior placenta which is at the top so baby must have had a major growth spurt!

I am guessing you need to live in London for that?

Mine doesn't. I have just emailed them suggesting they do. They have a real nappy officer though.

FatimaLovesBread · 26/07/2012 21:44

My god I have the itchiest soles of my feet ever! Sad I'm rubbing them on the carpet like a mad woman Grin

Catbag · 26/07/2012 23:38

Just got up again after over an hour of trying to get to sleep. I know I'm going to feel like crap in the morning. Bugger.

GTbaby · 27/07/2012 00:53

cat can't sleep either Sad too hot. Have a fan on but not much help. Think I'm just uncomfortable regardless of the heat.

Iheartpasties · 27/07/2012 02:21

ooow, my friend is the nappy officer at oneof the London borough councils so he will be very happy that lane81 is getting re-usable nappies :)

swiss so sorry to hear that your partner has walked out? I hope you can get some practical help with bed time etc with your little one, me and my DH take it in turns as it's so exhausting. Just reach out and ask for help :)

Iheartpasties · 27/07/2012 02:27

I have just requested to join the facebook group, I have messaged the administrator with my name on here. It will take me a while to figure out nicknames and real names :)

DesperateHousewife21 · 27/07/2012 06:51

Yep pasties you're added :)

Iheartpasties · 27/07/2012 07:49

thank you - lovely to see some bump pics, I'll try and get one up. I took one each week last time, so far I havent taken one of this bump. Probably coz I'm a whale this time round.

Iheartpasties · 27/07/2012 07:50

Eurgh, just had to fork out for a new battery for our car, we've only had it for about a month and a half.

TitsalinaBumSquash · 27/07/2012 07:52

I'm having some maternity shots done soon, I know a lady who does really lovely ones and is trying to expand her business so I said I'd take part. I'll post them on the group when they're done in Aug. Smile
