horsey I did think you had been out of sorts. This is the first I have felt anything like this - I hope it passes quickly.

DH has come home with sainsbury's ready meal curries. At the moment I still feel sicky and not hungry at all but I am sure I will recover. If I feel the same tomorrow I am just going to surrender to it and stay in bed. Can't decide if it is pregnancy related or just a bug.

I spent an hour in the bath reading sainsbury's magazine. I had to lean in on bump though so I now have criss cross marks on my tummy.

Watching British Bake Off Masterclass with cat on knee. No more whinging. Just give me a slap. Ok?

Sorry to hear you're having such a tough time Shanelle. Considering we're all such hormonal messes at the moment it's no wonder you're struggling to deal with your separation. Do you actually want your ex at the birth? Surely it's up to you to decide that. Please don't condemn yourself to PND, it's not a sure thing. Some people cope well under pressure and manage to get on okay. I can't give you any advice other than to please keep talking on here even just to give yourself a chance to moan when you can't in RL. For a bunch of moody hormonal pregnant ladies/new mums we're a pretty supportive bunch!

Shanelle huge hugs. No idea what to suggest.

Pass eating tended to make me feel temporarily better. Today I've felt ok, I look exhausted though!! Will try to sleep more tomorrow!!

Opps. I think it's everso who lives near southall. Not Fatima. Anyone else? I have no friends who live near by if any one wants to b my friend lol , but I am being serious, if any one near by wants to get together would be great!

Also apple thank you, my little man is gorgeous. He has the cutest sigh lol. He just looks up as if to say "mum get over it, I know I'm cute, now stop with the kisses" then sighs.

shanelle I really feel for you, but you will be ok. Agree with others that it's your decision whether or not to have him at the birth, maybe you shouldn't let him just 'have the best bit' after all he has put you and your girls thru? Also think you should tell your DP's - they will want to be there for you, please give them the chance to fully understand your situation. Sure it won't change their opinion of you! Sending you a virtual hug x

I have been feeling like that today too pass and horsey totally down in the dumps and beyond tired. It's no fun. Am going to have a glass of wine now to treat myself

I wonder how VQ is getting on!

Hello all, hope you are doing well. Have been in hospital since 7am Tues attempting induction. Despite contractions since 3am Weds I've made v little cervical progress so unless things change overnight I will be having a CS tomorrow or Sat, depending on when they can fit me in. Am shattered sore and a bit disappointed but looking forward to seeing my baby when I can.

No 3G or Wifi in hospital but have popped escaped to my Mum's for a nice shower so I thought I'd update.

Ooh good luck for tomorrow blonder! Try not to be disappointed you'll meet your baby tomorrow

Oh blonder you must be so frustrated. I hope you get some progress really soon.

kissy my DH suggested a glass of wine but I had one in Sunday night so I will stick to tea.

Thankyou ladies, very much appreciated as always.
Good luck blonder and thinking of VQ who must surely be having lovely cuddles with her little boy by now.
Cant wait to see more piccies on FB, just so cute

Bless you Shanelle, so sorry you're going through this. I agree with others that you should try and get some support in RL and also that you should really think hard about having him at the birth - unless you feel that you could bite his hand hard or something during contractions, to get him back a bit! Thinking of you.

Argh blonder, that's not fun at all. I have a friend who had GD who was exactly the same, induction that lasted for days, did have a CS in the end and all was completely fine. Sometimes you just have to roll with what's happening - and whatever happens, you'll be seeing your baby soon which is SUCH good news.

Sorry you're feeling rubbish pass. Hope the Bake Off helps! Always cheers me up.

Gosh, VQ will no doubt be cuddling her little one by now ...

Sorry Shanelle, x-posted! We had the same thought about VQ at the same time!

Sophia and GT I'm in Northfields. New to this part of London, so no idea how far I actually am from Southall, but def up for a curry or a cuppa once we're all settled in with babies and can think about socializing again.

Shanelle Sorry to hear things are so difficult right now. I agree it would probably help to talk to someone in RL so you don't feel you have to deal completely on your own.

Good luck, Blonder. I know from experience how frustrating induction can be, but at least you know the end is in sight and you'll meet your LO very, very soon.

Hugs for shanelle

pass, horsey and kissyfur I'm in the same boat, tears, very tired, BH, upset stomach...I too need a good slap...feeling a bit sorry for myself.

Good luck blonder you will be all good.

shanelle I am so sorry that things are still tough for you. As hard as it is try and focus on your girls and your new baby and of course yourself. We can take the offloading. Bring it on! Big virtual hugs.

gt, everso I currently live in Bracknell (until approx next September when i am off to my house on the hill in Northern Ireland that we are building. ) so it is just a short hop down the M4 for a curry (and a quick visit to Quality Foods) once I have got this one settled into a routine I am defo up for a curry meet up.

Blonder how frustrating, will be thinking of you tomorrow.

My tightenings and practice concentrations are going crazy, I keep thinking of saying to DH I don't think I will last much longer, but that is tempting fate for the 11 days late club isn't it? So I have kept my mouth shut.

Shanelle :( I wish I had great words of wisdom other than he's a bastard to offer you right now. What do you want? Do you want him there at the birth? Do you want to even speak to him right now? Seems he is calling the shots by what you say. Take control for yourself... don't let him play you around. He is the one who walked out, he can't have it his own way now.

For some practical ideas, have you had a look what Sure Start offer in your area? I've been to my local one to get info on classes etc that are available. Even though I won't be 'alone', I remember feeling stuck at home first time around. plus lack of funds mean usual activities will have to fall by the wayside. And I want things to do to bond with the baby. I am hoping to meet some new mums near me and who are just as nuts as I am. There is also Homestart, who can offer you some practical help. I don't know much about them, but this is their website. I think if you feel unable to talk with family yet, you need someone to talk to, even if it is just about crap. Taking your mind off things so to speak. If you were local to me, I'd well be round your gaff for a brew and a bitch . I suspect you aren't that close to me though :(

Peaky Clearly I post too much crap on here! What is it with people taking my advice never take my advice!!

Tits I'm glad you are now an inpatient. Remember, I'm here if you need anything!

DP swept the drive eventually, after forgetting yet another reminder earlier however he broke the broom. You know what, you want something doing, do it your flaming self .

I made Taco's for tea. I had 4. I could of eaten another 4! Am now waiting for DS to go to bed as I have profiteroles to scoff. And he isn't allowed them bad muvva award. He has been to his Halloween disco, and scoffed his body weight in sweets. Fair do's I reckon!

Car is now returned, minus noise. Also minus £220. :(

I am currently being having my cervix removed by a baby, and pee pushed out of me at an alarming rate. Ouch. And STOP IT!

In a rather strange moment today, I decided to try on a pre pregnancy dress. Not only was it pre pregnancy, but it was pre pre pre pregnancy, from my days of being slimmer. Well fuck a duck, it bloody fits. And looks pretty good on! Accentuates the bump! Ace! I was a 16-18 pre pg, and currently sat in a 14 fitted (but stretchy!) dress. I looked shit in it 9 months ago, and wouldn't have worn it! Now even my back tits have fucked off. I swear if I've not lost lots of weight after I have this baby, I will cry.

Weird.

LOL detective, you would be most welcome! Your down to earth no nonsense is just what I need.
I will look up those 2 groups you mentioned, thankyou
How funny sophia we are neighbours, I too am in the delightful Bracknell! (Warfield)

For those having tightenings etc, I had none with DS first time around. No twinges or anything til I actually went in to labour. This time I've had loads. I am also frantically knicker smelling checking thanks to the constant dampness that my body seems to enjoy

I'm in the NW :(

How bizarre shanellei am Martins Heron. Which hospital are you going to? I am off to Frimley but was Wexham last time.
X

I just noted the contradictory items in my above post. Weight loss and profiteroles....

detective

Sophia I am the same - so many tightenings etc that I keep thinking it can't be too long now, but I daren't voice that opinion to anyone for fear of tempting fate!

shanelle sorry you're having such a shit time at the moment. I wish I had some great advice for you, but all I can say is you sound strong, and that maybe it is time to talk to someone in rl and get some support. In the meantime, we are always here for virtual support.

Thanks all for the lovely messages. Haven't had time to catch up on thread but Shanelle I'm really sorry for the tough time you are having.

Hope VQ is having lovely newborn cuddles and all the November babies are cooking beautifully.

I am watching the remote wobble all over my tummy.

Well I was! It just got booted off
