I also stink. I have abandoned deodorant because the smell makes me puke & every time I brush my teeth I puke too. I'm truly grim.

NoMaybeAboutIt · 22/08/2013 14:05

Oh Bec that's the last thing you need bet some rest today if you can. It'll be a relief to let everyone know.

I also cannot imagine MrM ever commenting on my weight during pregnancy. It's just not fair. I'd go on strike ladies. Leave then to fend for themselves.

Fox that's shit. I too was really suffering after I ate. So now I make dinner last hours. It really helps. And a peppermint tea if you can stomach it.

Jolleigh · 22/08/2013 14:07

Pram - I can only assume so right now. He flat out refuses to go to the docs, counselling, anything that might help. He also refuses to pull his finger out of his arse and stop getting the pregnant woman to practically cut up his food for him. I'm quite literally doing everything. And I'm trying my hardest to get this fixed but there's going to come a point where my physical ailments mean I need to slow down. I'm physically and emotionally exhausted.

On top of that he frequently has his nasty hat on. He complained yesterday that I never to what I'm told any more. All I could respond is 'that isn't tge type of relationship I agreed to be part of'. He also said the reason he isn't giving me any affection is because the way HE gives affection is 'playing' with my boobs. And my boobs are too sore so he isn't giving me anything. (tmi, but his playing isn't in the slightest bit gentle).

He frequently gets like this when he doesn't get his way, even if it's something irrelevant. I just hadn't thought his selfishness would extend to what's supposed to be the happiest time in our lives.

FoxMulder · 22/08/2013 14:07

Thanks No Maybe I'll take that on board.

PramQueen1971 · 22/08/2013 14:07

I didn't know you could use bold and italics

PramQueen1971 · 22/08/2013 14:07

does it work the other way too?

PramQueen1971 · 22/08/2013 14:08

Ooooooh....!

Edamame · 22/08/2013 14:09

Not aspie, pram, just twatty at the moment.
Fox, Maybe I do think it's temporary though v annoying, and probably to do with fear and/or power - in a normal subconscious / psychological way.

Massively cheered up by this thread though. You guys are awesome!

Do we have any scan reports today?

PramQueen1971 · 22/08/2013 14:09

Jolls Shock and Sad and Angry What on earth are you going to do with that creature?

PramQueen1971 · 22/08/2013 14:10

I don't know about you, Jolls, but I feel like I'm rapidly falling out of love. It's an awful feeling Sad

PramQueen1971 · 22/08/2013 14:12

I have a report after 'scanning' Inside Soap magazine: Liz MacDonald returns next week and runs the Rovers with son, Steve.

Jolleigh · 22/08/2013 14:13

It's horrendous Pram and the timing of his behaviour really couldn't be worse. We planned this baby. But the way things are going, I certainly wouldn't subject a child to him.

I'm just hoping he improves soon and realises what a twat he's being.

commsgirl · 22/08/2013 14:15

Fox sounds like you're having a horrible time, you poor love. Hopefully seeing baby next week will cheer you up.

faithfulandtruthful · 22/08/2013 14:19

Fox I 2nd the peppermint tea or fennel, also try to cut down on sugary things as they can cause more bloating. A warm bath may help everything relax, if you know what I mean, probably a hot water bottle would do the same thing.

As for the deodorant get an Alum block they don't smell of anything you run it under the tap and then rub. It isn't a antiperspirant just deodorant I have used one for years and works fine for me.

Edamame - definitely hope it's just temporary for you. Though I have to say, some of the comments he's already said would be the tipping point for me. The man must have a death wish saying that to a pregnant woman!

Edamame · 22/08/2013 14:21

Good to see you making full use of your time there Pram Grin

Beccadugs · 22/08/2013 14:32

fox I totally know what you mean. I am very stinky, which makes me feel sick, but washing also makes me feel sick... It's a nightmare.

So sorry to hear that there are so many men problems on the thread today. My DHs worst flaw is that he leaves stuff everywhere and never picks it up. Not much in comparison so feeling quite lucky.

hoopins · 22/08/2013 14:33

My DP was really freaked out at the start Edamame- didn't say anything directly like that to me but was really distant at a time I wanted to talk about so many things. I knew he'd come round when he bought a baby blanket. Might just need time.
I'm new here and 10+6 got my scan on 30th August and really can't wait. Been having loads of weird dreams about scans and heartbeats. Anyone having the same?

MummyPig24 · 22/08/2013 14:35

fox joll edam sorry you are having a shitty time.

I can't wear perfume at the moment, it makes me feel sick. On top of already feeling sick. I was up at 4 this morning so I feel knackered.

faithfulandtruthful · 22/08/2013 14:36

hoopins welcome, your scan is two days after mine. I can't say I am having dreams about the scan but deffo dreams about how I am going to cope with new baby. It's just your brain trying to process things.

Best of luck for you scan.

I had a weird breast feeding dream the other night... I was really sad when I woke up that the baby won't be here for another 6 months!!

Jolleigh · 22/08/2013 14:40

Welcome hoopins Brew

MTBMummy · 22/08/2013 14:51

Welcome Hoopins no dreams yet this pregnancy, I recall the last one were horrid

hoopins · 22/08/2013 14:57

Thanks everyone Smile. This is my first and dreams at the start were all demon baby who hates me, but those have gone now thankfully!

Edamame · 22/08/2013 15:01

Apprentice - hmm...seems this is more common than I thought.

Poor you Fox, hope the puking resolves soon

Welcome Hoops - and congratulations!
