October 2016 #5 Third trimester here we come

[Afreshstartplease]

New thread if it works

Oh no Chatter I hadn't heard about these problems with Mamas and Papas and now I'm worried. Our furniture delivery is due in a few weeks and due to our circumstances I will be doing an hour's drive and staying with my parents overnight so that I can be at our new house in the morning to accept the delivery. I really hope it turns up on the right day! Fingers crossed for both of us!

Sooooo, rang up and spoke to some fucktard with a bad speaker who I could barely hear. Delivery cancelled for today as the cot is now out of stock until 15th August - why no call or Information, it was in stock when I ordered 7 weeks ago! 'I don't know, I'm so sorry, I need to speak to my manager they're on the phone and I will call you back with a new delivery date'

I am really tempted to cancel the whole fucking order!!! We spent over £1600 and they can't fucking call to say one item is out of stock and so we're delaying your delivery for 3 weeks! Dick heads!!! Argh! This is not good for my blood pressure!!!!

Urgh! That's shit chatter! And that's a lot of money!

Do I cut my nose off to spite my face and cancel the lot and go shopping for nursery furniture again elsewhere?? I could cry

Perhaps see if anywhere else has anything you like first!

Personally I think "nursery" furniture is a bit overpriced! Baby will be sharing a bedroom with dd (3) she has white 'Denver' furniture from Argos and I've just bought an additional set of the drawers for baby. Dd has a white bed and we have a white cot and cottop changer plus some white kallax

It cost no where near 1600!

Yeah it is - the £1600 included a

3 piece nursery set
Cybex Sirona Car Seat
Changing Mats
Baby bouncer
Blankets
Sheets
Crib
Mattress for cotbed and crib
Gro Egg
Video baby monitor
Gro bags
Cot Mobile

So almost had everything we needed in that order ;(

Ah you did get a fair bit for your 1600 then! I was thinking it was literally the nursery furniture and a carseat!
I know how expensive the blankets are from m&p! They currently owe me a £15 off code which I'm going to put towards another blanket, cannot justify £30 on a blanket however pretty it may be!

I know! So expensive ;( I got a blanket from them in the sale for £9 just a small pink cellular one which is really nice and I got a tummy time play mat with over hanging sea animals half price and all delivered no issues ;(

Just rang them back as my 1030am latest call didn't materialise....refunded my delivery charge, £30 gift voucher and delivery re-arranged for next Saturday bar cot bed which should be here after 15th August - I just said to hubby if it doesn't come next week I'll cancel and go elsewhere! At least this woman was competent and apologetic and sorted it out quickly I guess! And thankfully we don't work Saturdays else we'd be stuck! Grrrrr!!

Sorry for ranting! Thought it would all be done this weekend ;(

Must be so disappointing! I think I would have had a right paddy!

I bought some bits in the sale too, two of the 30 quid blankets for 15 each, a mirror toy and one of those curly activity toys

It's lovely stuff. It's just expensive full price!

What a pain chatters!

I still haven't bought anything yet - I suppose I really should get a move on - 26+4 now.

I've gradually started feeling more and more negative about this pregnancy. 'D'P still isn't happy about it and I feel like I can hardly cope with my 10 year old let alone another child. I just don't want to do it all again tbh. What's the point if you're only just coping with life?

Sorry to be so negative. Just wish I hadn't been so stupid

Oh dear enough, have you spoken to gp or mw or anything about feeling so low? What in particular do you / do you think you will struggle with?

Sometimes I am overwhelmed by the current DC and when they all play up at once I think Jesus imagine this with a teething baby on top! However I think I've realised that since I had dd 3 years ago I've taken on too much work wise and this is where I plan to cut back

I think I'm going to feel guilty about having less time for DD and also we'll be a bit skint. I haven't worked for nearly 3 years, just bad luck really bit perhaps I am too picky with jobs. DP keeps telling me to get a job and I have looked for temp stuff but there's really not much around.

First day of the summer holidays for DD and she's got a cold. We don't have any holiday booked. If I wasn't pregnant and had a job we'd be off to Greece like we have the last two years. I think they (DP & DD) would definitely prefer money and things to a baby.

There's plenty of time for holidays in the future though, and to get a job! Has your dp been unhappy about the pregnancy all the way through? Do you have other people to support you as it doesn't sound like he is doing

Enoughalready - sorry to hear you are feeling so down. Remember your hormones probably have a big part to play!

Has your dp been involved much with the pregnancy stuff so far?

My pregnancy was unplanned and my partner was initially a bit of a nightmare. Ive found taking him along to the antenatal classes and involving him in baby planning (in practical ways) has got him excited. Hed a joiner so hes making our nursery furniture for instance.

Really really quickly stopping by but didn't want to read and run,

Enough I'm sorry you're struggling at the moment, I. Sure your DP will come around once the baby arrives but I hope you're coping ok and have someone to talk to during the pregnancy. As Fresh said, there will be plenty of time for holidays and jobs and buying stuff in the future.

(((Hug))) enough

Enough it sounds like you're having a tough time. There's a whole thread on MN somewhere at the moment about people having a second baby who feel guilty about less time for their first dc so maybe have a look there - there's lots of reassurance etc from people who have already been through it. Also how is you dd reacting? Is she excited? I bet once the baby is here she will make a huge fuss of it. Really sorry to hear about your dp's reaction to the pregnancy, was he the same with the first one?

Chatter I'm worried about my delivery now! Which furniture set did you go for? We spent a similar amount to you, though a lot of ours was on the pram/car seat bundle, along with the furniture. We got a few other things too and they threw in a free cuddly toy and extra 10% off because my dh talked them into it!

Sorry you are feeling so low enough. Maybe have a word with your midwife or GP?
I had a rough few months which culminated in me kicking my partner out. We are still adjusting and I spoke to some professionals because there were some v v hard days. ( teen can be HORRENDOUS) Even just knowing I was being proactive seemed to help in my case and in out the other side now.

Thank you for your kind words everyone.

I will speak to my midwife and also my sister-in-law as she has 2 children and can probably give some good advice although she is the opposite to me in terms of job/career etc!

My daughter was excited when I first told her but she is a little stressy head and I keep imagining her getting all stressed when we're trying to get out the door to school on time in the morning. DP still doesn't drive so it's all down to me. Also worried about the baby disturbing everyone at night.

Hope your feeling a bit better today enough Pregnancy is hard enough without having an unsupportive partner

27+4 today. Really need to book in for my whooping cough I keep forgetting! Mw on tues, going to ask her if she knows much about current physio waiting lists!

enough when we had DC3 she never managed to wake either of the older two up during the night! Most of the time dp didn't even bloody wake up! Does your dd mainly get herself ready to go in the mornings? If not perhaps try to encourage this as prep for going to secondary school

Hey kariana we ordered the Mia set - apparently the supplier have a delivery coming in August, someone else on Twitter has had the same problem with the same cotbed in her order - I just hope we don't get to August and it's delayed again

Hi all. Finally joining and I'm due 17th October. Actually been on the November 2016 thread as I calculated my due date wrong but finally decided to join the right group.
I have my glucose test/gtt tomorrow so off to have my last snack before 10pm and fingers crossed I don't collapse before the test is done tomorrow

Good luck for your GTT!
