Due in August - part 6

[sarahlou1uk]

thought I'd start one off girls (and Salamander!)

Thanks everyone.
Glad to hear some people are having a good day, sorry to all those who are not.
I hate queue jumpers, but too scared half the time to say something to them!

lol at your daughter dreamydowler!!

sorry to hear pepole are having a bad day my dh had to work nights last nite and as he was starting late today we had brekkie in bed and a cuddle{wink}

arabica im having a girl and im very randy but have been all the way thur dont know if that helps

didnt get out of bed til half three im knackered now

anti d tomorrow and a good mw appt so will be fun

dreamydowler that is adorable re: your daughter!

lunavix - that is really silly that the anyone doesnt talk to you because you are a childminder! I would! AND I would let you sit down!! I really do not understand some people. I'm sorry your DH has had to go away for a while. It's not nice is it.

Olivo I know how you feel about always typing a P when you want brackets. Every time I try to write the word... Um no I cant remember which word it is. There is a word I regularly write that I do something weird every time. I seem to be losing the ability to type anyway it takes me ages to write these posts legibly! Yay for another waterbirther! am crossing my fingers for all of us! (Waterbirthers and non-waterbirthers!)

bursting - glad you scan went well!! congrats on having a little boy!!

I am having a really rotton day. Week actually. I am just SO tired. I cant do ANYTHING. I feel this exhaustion I have never really felt before. But I have so much I have to do and I feel guilty I am not being more productive. Is it normal to be this tired at this stage of pregnancy?

I just escaped from a roasting on a "Should a 4yr-old be breastfed" thread, that I was stupid enough to post on a while ago.

What a silly mistake!!!

oh no what did you say? oh god. i will have to go look!

Hi Eeny et al!!!

Nice to be amongst pleasant friendly people!

Clearly i'm a horrible man who doesn't intend to help out DW with anything during the bonding period, and i'm blind to what is ahead because this is our first and I think breas-milk is like burgers.

or something like that!

DreamyDowler that is hilarious re: the spanner!!!!!!!!!!!

Afternoon all, i'm sorry did try catching up at the weekend but all the posts from Thurs/Fri just beat me hands down!
Is everyone ok?
Finally have stretch marks and proper ones this time and i didn't even cry! They are on my arse so not too cut up about them (got plenty on there already!)but think still might have an episode when they are on my stomach!!!
Not much else been happening really-horrendous heartburn which woke me last night, i felt that sick! Cannot get comfortabe....PERIOD....oh and my bladder falls out everytime i move! Is this normal?? Seriously think i have wet myself in the night so many times enroute to the loo, good job it is night time though cos at 3am i don't really give a crap!

Really cannot wait to meet my little fellow now although got a bit emotional thinking of not being pregnant the other day...women there is just no pleasing some of us!

Anyone else continuing to get cramps, stomach, arse, back etc?? Not worried enough for labour but think ooohh is this the start (i'm not due for another month!)

Oh and if i read another 'breast is best' slogan i'm going to swing for someone! Yes i will be attempting breastfeeding with all my might but i think the campaign has gone in to overkill because every magazine and book just repeats itself and i'm getting fed up of spending cash on magazines that repeat/repeat/repeat!!!

Now tantrum over dh on second driving lesson just now and can't wait for him to get back!

Did anyone else fancy a meet up in Yorkshire, or did i miss it?

salamander there are friendly pleasant people everywhere

Just to let you August ladies know the post from bundle is regarding another thread - the breastfeeding one Sal mentioned earlier. Just thought I would explain, I dont want to bring any of you in to that discussion as it wasnt going well.

Well i'm still here.

So p**d off thou. Dh is going away this weekend for yet another stag do. (my brothers) I have been asking him to help me pack the bags for me, baby and ds as i'm feeling so achy and crappy so what does he do???? Goes to the sodding pub after spending all afternoon in one instead of working. Since he came home from work he made dinner then has been horizontal ever since til we had a row, he said its all me and stormed off to the pub. Good excuse if you ask me. So i am here in pain and feel like crying but have ds to look after and bags to pack and a house that is a tip!!!! So i've locked him out and sent him a msg to say he will be sleeping in the car tonight. (Have made him before when he got home at 6am but he obviously hasn't learnt)

Ok, sorry about that. Feel less angry now. I think....

SnowBoo - Sorry about your problem with your DH. I dont blame you for being upset. I am really sorry. Hope he just says sorry I think you deserve it.

Just wanted to write you all a note -

I dont think I am going to come on MN anymore. The debate about breastfeeding - I was never interested in. I only went on there to stand up for Sal because... well I love him! And I wanted to put the record straight. But in the process I got drawn into an argument as well which I guess was inevitable.

Basically, I am not great with confrontation. I like to be nice to people and I like the same in return. But equally I dont want to feel like a doormat who cant say boo to a ghost.

You know I dont have friends or family in this country and I have used MN as a means of support during this pregnancy and have really enjoyed making friends with all you August girls I guess right now I feel MN has been messed up for me because there is this negativity towards me and Sal and I cant cope very well with feeling disliked and made fun of. I have tried to have a thicker skin but I just cant.

So... basically I dont think I will be back. I never wanted to do anything but enjoy the more positive aspects of MN like this thread but I got drawn in to this thing so there you have it.

I have really enjoyed getting to know all of you and am sure I will miss our daily chats! Maybe in a bit of time I will come back or toughen up or whatever. I wish you all the best of luck for you & your babies. Sorry if this seems extreme but I am really upset right now and this is all I can think of doing.

Lots of love,
eeny

Snowboo - hope you are ok - I can sympathise - my dh and I have been arguing lots as his sympathy for how I'm feeling is very sporadic! hope you get an apology too.

Eeny..What has happened? I don't understand, don't leave though...please.XXXX

eeny, if its any consolation this is how i felt when i posted a thread asking for advice and ended up with abuse. The b*h actually made me cry. Please don't leave because of some silly people with their heads up their own backsides! We're not all like that!

Apology??? Joking. He'll come home really late, drunk as a pig and think he's done nothing wrong. As is every flippin week. Asked me why i didn't divorce him and its got me thinking....why not???? He's changed recently and he is not the person i married. Maybe i should scare him. Would that work?

oh eeny - i'm sorry you've been made to feel like that. but you are such a part of MN on this thread. stay with us, even if its just on this one - we'll all help each other through. I have often thought about posting on threads but stopped myself as i dont want to be misinterpreted - its so easy for things to sound a different way to how they are meant, but we are all entitled to an opinion (trust me, i often cringe at how i sound when things havent come out how i mean them to) and you've often helped all of us on this thread.
please reconsider!

Hi y'all
(see that sounds crap coming from a Brit Eeny )

Eeny please promise me next time some pig headed arse face of a man does that to you, give him what for!
He's bloody lucky he didn't do it to me otherwise my cash card would have been inserted somewhere else

Dreamydowler, bummer about the waterbirth. I thought they just gave you a jab for the strep B, didn't realise you had to be hooked up. Will you still be able to keep quite mobile then if you wanted?

Luna, you should place a towel or something on the wall at the school a la typical brit on holiday stylee . I'm glad I'm not the only one getting upset at dh's going away.

I think dh secretly a bit concerned about me having these panic/anxiety attacks. He came home yesterday from work and announced he's taken the next 3 weekends off as annual leave and taken his name off doing any sleep over shifts, bless him.
Going back down to good ole Barnsley tomorrow night for a couple of nights because of some training he has to do so we're stopping with his mum and dad tomorrow night and then at brother and sister in laws on Friday so that should be nice.

Had a mad day today. Been flat pack furniture making all day and had my MW appt. Actually saw my proper MW this time. Shes really lovely. Read my birth plan to which she said it was very good and that I shouldn't have a problem with getting what I want when I go in. Apparently each room has a bed, birthing ball, tv, dvd, cd player and bath . Might book myself in now!

Got my new pregnancy gal pal coming tomorrow. She works or should I say worked with dh but is now on Mat leave. She's due 25th of this month and is expecting a girl but its her first pregnancy. So it be a baby chat day

God that was a long post, sorry!

Oh shit

Wheres the thread?
Don't you dare leave you two!!!!

Breastfeeding is a very very very raw and sore subject on this site. Its not very often I post on them for that reason.
Please please don't leave over it.

Has eeny gone now????

Just read thru it and they were quite rude to her and Sal. But it was some familiar names on there doing the stirring. Hope she's ok.

EENY WE LOVE YOU, COME BACK!!!!!

Ok hi again

Thanks girls for your words of support. I am crying right now and just generally upset, this came at a bad time. I guess I need to cool down and think a while. I would miss you all!

Sorry - I feel so critisied, I'm even feeling paranoid I will come under attack next for being too sensitive!

SnowBoo I have to say - I cant ignore your post, I'm sorry about your not so D H. I dont think there would be anything wrong with you 'scaring' him as long as you do it in a way you know you can live with and can follow through on. He should be more supportive of you. Good luck hon.

And Yellow dont worry you can pull off the 'y'all'

I'm going to go eat dinner now and calm down and see if I can face coming back.

Love
eeny

Sorry, there WERE some names on there. My grasp of language has now gone.
