Are you expecting a babe in November this year? If so, get ready to get glowing. Breaking out in spots, or tears, or both is part of the so called glow. Feeling sick, contemplating births and having the odd good day of eating well is also all glow.

Come on then. Wee in the corner to mark your spot. Have some Brew or Cake or Wine. Then glow.

I'm sure it's not normal to be awake at 5:30 thinking about the left over pizza the restaurant sent me home with last night. It's just downstairs.. Lonely. I think I'll put this down to the baby Shock

feathergirl1 · 06/06/2015 06:14

Mmmmm leftover pizza! Yum!!! It would be rude not to! Grin

Crumbelina · 06/06/2015 09:25

Thanks so much all! Smile

Feather, I haven't felt that much movement so far and it's really strange to see the baby moving around on the monitor but feel nothing at all.

Austen - I know the feeling! Praise be to the weekend. Smile

Hope you're having a lovely holiday Nomore!

I'd love some leftover pizza for breakfast alittlebit

I'm back home in Ireland for a few days and having a girly day out with a pregnant friend today. I've no friends with kids in UK but yesterday went out with 3 friends & babies & was learning all about buggies & car seats etc, it's starting to feel more real! I'm just not used to being around kids!!

Cheers Takestwo, I've just googled SPD and it sounds like exactly that. I'm at the midwife on Thursday so will talk to her about it. I always thought it was something to do with hips for some reason.

Last night I dreamt that I had my baby in the middle of Leeds train station (I've not been to Leeds in about 10 years and have no connections with the place) and I had a girl. That's three dreams so far that I've had a girl. Last time though I was convinced dd was going to be a boy so I'm not taking it too seriously.

cryingbabymess · 06/06/2015 10:59

Morning ladies! I'm shattered today! Trying to do my cleaning that I've not done for weeks! Confused So far I've managed to do a toilet, living room and hall! I've still to do kitchen, big bathroom, 3 bedrooms, upstairs hall and stairs! Also got to do the washing! Shock Falling asleep with exhaustion thinking about it!

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 06/06/2015 18:18

I suddenly look pregnant today at 19+2, my friend noticed (I was about to tell him anyway). I'm in the office on Monday and wasn't going to tell them yet but guess I'd better if it's obvious!

cryingbabymess · 06/06/2015 18:38

I'm seriously fed up! Probably overreacting and over thinking things as per usual but I'm pissed off with my OH! Angry Hormones are making me sooooo much worse! Ugh!!! BlushHmm

cryingbabymess · 06/06/2015 18:53

I hate hormones! I keep winding myself up and I'm really sorry to constantly vaguely moan on here but I can't speak to anyone in RL! I'm now crying my eyes out yet again!

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 06/06/2015 19:09

What's the matter crying we're here to help if we can.

So today I have done a complete u turn and decided we will find out the sex. DH wants to but I didn't. However, I'm convinced I'm having a girl (for no particular reason) so I think I'd better find out. I don't mind either way so not sure if I'm explaining this very well!

GuybrushThreepwoodMP · 06/06/2015 19:17

Talk to us crying Thanks Thanks

cryingbabymess · 06/06/2015 19:19

I'm just a mess! OH is out with his work, they played a football tournament this morning then was having a few drinks and said it would be about 8ish for me picking him up. He said he'd keep in touch. I've text him a few times and he's completely ignored me yet can put up videos and photos on his "snapchat" story. Then there's this girl he works with, I feel she's a bit too familiar with him, I've met her twice. In these photos on his story she is next to him in every single one, her arms around him or vice versa. I trust him 110% I just don't trust her! He's now finally text to say they're going to "someone's" flat for a drink so I just said so much for me picking you up at 8 (it's about an hours drive away!) and also who's someone? I work myself up about every little thing and I'm so insecure at the best of times let alone being pregnant. I'm stressing out over nothing I know I am but I also know that if I say anything to him he'll fall out with me. I just feel really crap within myself just now and all this doesn't help and I've not seen him for more than 6 hours since last Sunday and it's going to be the same until Friday! I just feel really alone!

cryingbabymess · 06/06/2015 19:21

Sorry for being such a mess!

GuybrushThreepwoodMP · 06/06/2015 19:44

Oh love.
Firstly, if you trust him, it doesn't matter if she's in love with him and looks like Angelina Jolie. As long as you trust him, all is fine. Maybe you can later calmly mention to him that all the photos with her make you feel a bit insecure? But make it clear that it's not a trust issue.
Secondly, you are not his slave. You are his partner and you're pregnant and tired. So if he wants to stay out later, tell him he can find his own bloody lift home.

GuybrushThreepwoodMP · 06/06/2015 19:46

I can understand you feeling a bit crap about him finding other things to do when you've hardly seen each other. I would too. i expect my partner to want to spend time with me! Why do you think you are so insecure generally? Do you think it comes from you, or does he behave in a way which makes you insecure?

Laura7010 · 06/06/2015 20:07

Oh Crying, so sorry to hear you are upset. It's horrible when you are in on your own getting yourself worked up. Try not to get too stressed, tell us. Is there no one you could ring who would understand? Just to listen to you? Sending positive vibes! You should however not have to go and pick him up if he is going to be late. Tell him to sort himself out!!

roughtyping · 06/06/2015 20:51

annatha I dreamt I had my baby last night and I was raging because no one had bought a car seat, so we couldn't leave the weird campsite next to a river where I'd had the baby. There was also a bear and bows and arrows! Didn't dream if it was a boy or girl though.

crying, my stomach dropped reading that. I'm so sorry you're upset. Please find something to occupy yourself for tonight to distract you. Don't let this make you feel bad. Big, squishy, un-MN hugs.

I've booked a holiday for DS and I! Just to Majorca for a few days, but will be nice to be in the sun.

cryingbabymess · 06/06/2015 21:15

Thanks ladies. I'm halfway home with him now. Currently parked in a lay by so he can puke....3rd time we've stopped! Ok so home now, typed that when I could! He picks me up from my nights out when I drank so I do the same for him. The annoying thing is and I've told him time and time again that he tells me a time then changes it to later! I always tell him a time and either stick to it or get him to come earlier.

He has never ever made me feel insecure about myself, it's just the way I've always been! Hmm

At least he's finally home....totally wasted, very apologetic because he knows I'm pissed off!

I know it's all me overreacting and just being me but I can't help it at times! Hmm Think it's because he's perfect, the best guy I've ever had and I'm scared there's someone better out there....!

As for people to talk to, my best mates are all out doing other things tonight so I don't want to bother them. One is coming round for tea tomorrow so I'll get a good rant with her.

Thanks for listening and sorry for being so depressive! Xxxx Envy

thatduck · 07/06/2015 00:37

Sending hugs and support cryingbabymess, I know exactly how you feel but unfortunately I have no advice to make it better other than it will probably feel better tomorrow

Gr33dyeggs · 07/06/2015 08:03

I hope your OH is suitably ashamed this morning crying? And that you are feeling a little better. On a positive if he is rough from yesterday it will probably be a while before he does anything like it again!

roughtyping · 07/06/2015 08:36

I hope you're up and having a nice day crying - sun is beautiful here! Hope you're feeling a bit more positive today Flowers

cryingbabymess · 07/06/2015 11:50

Thanks ladies. I spoke to him this morning about it all and he's still very apologetic which is good. Surprisingly he's not too hungover at the moment, it gets worse later on tho! I've to drop him at his work about 3, currently just had lunch at his grandparents!

I feel better than I did last night but feeling a bit sick Shock

LadyStark · 07/06/2015 12:06

Sorry you had a crap Sat night crying, hope DP makes it up to you.

Weighed myself this morning and have only put on a pound so far this pregnancy which I am so pleased with as was overweight to begin with, hope I can keep it up!

We also had a gender scan yesterday (£40 with ultrasound direct, bargain) and we are having another a girl, I'm delighted and so is DD - she really wanted a little sister!

Really enjoying the sunshine this weekend, maybe being pregnant through the summer won't be so bad. At least that's what I am trying to convince myself, I'm sure the tube on Monday will knock those fantasies out right out of the park.

Alittlebitofeverything · 07/06/2015 13:15

This weekend has been lovely so far if a little action packed.. Dinner out on Friday night, 2 horses mucked out first thing then managed to find actual maternity clothes in h&m on Saturday so kitted myself out for a few months. That seems to have helped me look pregnant instead of fat which is always good. Long walk on the moors with the dogs then BBQ for MIL's bday. Breakfast out this morning now just gearing up for another long walk with the dogs.. Hoping this walking is going to keep the donuts weight off.. All I can think about it miniature donuts at the moment!!

Sorry everyone hasn't had a happy weekend, hopefully the lovely weather will help to cheer you up! If it's any consolation I have a silly husband who likes to tell me he will be home at one time and always changes when he's having a fun time out so really know the feeling! Insensitive swines sometimes! X

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 07/06/2015 13:26

Sorry you had a rubbish night crying

I'm at my parents this weekend and everyone is still avoiding the subject of my pregnancy. It's so weird, every time I mention it the subject is changed. Oh well. I'm used to it now, it's just....weird though. Hopefully they'll come round to the idea when the baby is here although they have no idea when I'm due anyway
