@millsbynight I did wonder about that but it's all calmed down now. Was never in labour with DS so it's a bit of a mystery to me.

Finish work on Thu . Can't believe it's finally happening!! Wish I had been more organised sorting my classroom/paper work out tho and not left it all until my last week.

@Gemxo that sounds exactly like SPD. Try to keep your knees together getting in and out of the car and bed. Turning over is horrible!! I try to do it really slowly with my knees together and it helps. Having a thin pillow between your knees while you are sleeping also helps.

ForumUsername · 03/12/2017 21:32

Hi all
Is anyone getting a new Dad present for their OH?
I read about it being a thing but not sure to do anything and what to get if I do?!!?!

reetgood · 03/12/2017 21:46

@gemxo earlier on I got some twinges that I worries were beginnings of spd. I started sleeping with a pillow between my legs and it really helped. Probably wasn’t spd but I had less creaky/painful pelvis when I started doing it. I’ve now got a babymoov maternity pillow that’s a touch firmer than the feather pillow I was using, but is quite small and manoeuvrable. I really like it, can be used as a nursing pillow but also boyfriend can use as he sometimes gets lower back twinges that are improved by pillow between legs.

@forumusername i’m not (never actually occurred to me) but then neither boyfriend or I rate gifts as high on the ‘love language’ scale. Not sure what you’d get... just a tip though, m(not quite)il got boyfriend loads of stuff with ‘daddy’ on it and he hated it. He hates labels or slogans on things generally, though.

katmarie · 03/12/2017 22:52

@Gemxo I've been having the same problem rolling over at night, plus bad pain in my pelvis and where my leg meets my crotch if I walk too much. My physic recommended a maternity brace and pelvic floor exercise, squeezing a pillow between my knees at the same time as you tense everything inside. She said you can't really stop spd but those things will hopefully stop it from getting out of control.

I won't be buying any new daddy gifts, as far as I'm concerned I'm delivering him a pretty awesome gift as it is! He thinks the same way fortunately :)

Ruthcarr1990 · 04/12/2017 08:03

@Gemxo I’ve been referred to the physo due to the same thing consultant has asked them if it will be possible to put me on crutches A’s belt is not helping just makes me look like a wwf fighter.

Wot a weekend I’ve had. Dh went out at 4 on Saturday and rolled back home at 1.30 pm yesterday wouldn’t answer his phone!! Was called a phyco wen he got in and I flipped!! So now I’m on strike. He works away and is due to go away tonight, non of his washings been done I’ll show him phyco!! He tried sucking up last night and I just told him to get away from me.

On a plus side only have this week and next week in work!! Can’t wait to be a home all the time and be able to chill out!
Xxx

millsbynight · 04/12/2017 21:15

ShockShock @Ruthcarr1990 I’d be fuming too! My DH has form for this too Angry He’ll go out and stumble in at 5am and I’m usually sat up crying because I haven’t slept waiting for him to come home so I know he’s safe but when I go out he calls me every half hour checking in on me. So annoying!

Jeez I’m SO TIRED! Just need to push on through till Friday. The final stretch! I’m trying to keep my eyes open while watching I’m A Celeb but my eyes literally hurt.

Just did a huge online Amazon shop at work today and the only thing that remains from our list is a changing bag and that’s it, I’ll have everything ready. Woohoo!

Waitingonasmile · 05/12/2017 07:02

Insomnia was so bad last night! Can't wait to go to work. Sad

Ruthcarr1990 · 05/12/2017 07:32

@millsbynight it irritates me the fact he nos that all I want to no is he’s safe but apparently in a pain in the arse. Had a major melt down last night and I think that he has finally realised what he’s done.

I got my changing bag from Aldi reduced down from £20.00 to £7.50. It’s really good to it’s a wipeable fabric on the outside comes with a changing mat and a bottle walming bag. So made up with it. Going for the last bits this weekend then I’m done and I can start chilling out once I know everything is done xxx

WLMcI · 05/12/2017 09:37

Hi all, catching up a bit--I've been trying to do too much during maternity leave! But in fairness, we still haven't moved back into our own house and won't be in now until end of next week (when I'm 38 weeks), so the anxiety to get stuff done is perhaps understandable...Laying laminate flooring doesn't help the SPD though!

I'm currently trying anything to turn baby from a breech position. Anyone else who is in the same upside-down boat, the website Spinning Babies has been super helpful (and was recommended by my midwife). I also have my last chiropractor appointment today, and a pregnancy treatment/massage tomorrow thanks to a lovely maternity gift card given to me by my awesome colleagues! Maybe all these things will work, but if not I have an ECV on Thursday, which people are (helpfully) telling me won't be much fun! My mother had it done with me and she said "yeah, it's not fun, but not worse than recovering from a C-section though", which is my thinking exactly. Pleased keep your fingers crossed for me that it goes well and works to turn this stubborn child! Grin

katmarie · 05/12/2017 12:23

Fingers crossed definitely @WLMcI

I keep thinking my baby is in the right position but it moves around so much it's hard to tell so I'm going to ask the midwife on Thursday if she can tell. I've spent a lot of time on all fours painting the skirting boards in the nursery so I'm optimistic lol!

Currently curled up on the sofa under a blanket with the dog, fighting off a chest infection, so no painting for me today! My sister brought my nephew round last week, we've nicknamed him the typhoid toddler because he always brings us new germs when he visits and apparently this time was no exception!

ForumUsername · 05/12/2017 12:24

@reetgood yeah it didn't occur to me to get him something till I seen something online
Might get him a nice bottle of whiskey or something but TBH will probably not

We have all got or ordered for the baby 😀
Still waiting on the big things to be delivered, can't wait 😊
Still need to get a few bits for hospital bag
I'd like new pj's but finding it difficult to get nice dark coloured ones with no mad patterns that aren't mad expensive
Also need to get nursing bras but was told to wait till a week or two before due date for those

millsbynight · 05/12/2017 12:41

I’m a bit upset 😢

I’ve really been struggling with my hormones recently and crying a lot. Something set me off at work so called DH in tears and he shouted at me to stop using my hormones as an excuse and to grow up and then hung up on me. I’m in bits! Sad

It’s his first child so I don’t think he understands how raging our hormones are in late pregnancy. How do I make him understand?

OP posts:
WLMcI · 05/12/2017 13:02

Aw @mills, that's a bit shit. Here's my 2 cents: Leaving aside pregnancy hormones completely, it is not acceptable behaviour for anyone to shout at and then hang up on their significant other. So he owes you an apology first. As for making him understand, you probably can't, but he DOES need to be 100 percent behind you when it comes to baby blues and, if you should develop pnd, to that as well. So if he consistently pooh-poohs the idea of depression and hormones and chemical imbalance (as some men do), I would make sure he reads that part of the green book you'll get soon from your mw or after delivery. It's serious stuff, and he needs to understand that it's a good thing that you call him first because it means you're comfortable talking to him; he wouldn't actually want that to change. X

millsbynight · 05/12/2017 13:47

Thanks @WLMcI you’re totally right that he’s the one who needs to grow up and understand how I’m feeling and it’s not ok to hang up in your wife. Don’t know what his problem is 😒

I’ve had to leave work because I’m so upset so I’m on the train home. Really hoping he realises he was being insensitive otherwise I’ll start questioning everything with him I.e. rushing into marriage and getting pregnant 😔

OP posts:
katmarie · 05/12/2017 16:52

@mills It sounds like a sit down and a good firm chat with him is in order.

I burst into tears last night when my DP told me he'd made dinner for last night and today and I didn't need to worry about it. He just laughed and gave me a hug til I got over it. Which is all you need really sometimes. I never used to be the crying type but pregnancy means I go off at the most ridiculous things. I can't imagine how I'd feel if my DP wasn't kind to me when I was upset.

Waitingonasmile · 05/12/2017 17:08

Sorry you are having a rubbish day @millsbynight . Men can be so bloody thoughtless and not understand what we go through during pregnancy. Thanks.

My husband leaves for work tomorrow and is due back 3rd Jan. Dreading the next 4 weeks alone with toddler in the middle of terrible twos. Xmas Shock

ziggzagg · 05/12/2017 19:23

Sorry to hear that @millsbynight, hope you're feeling better soon! Hubby owes you lots of chocolate and apologies!!

Had my final growth scan today and baby is currently estimated 6/7 lbs, he is back to back so hoping he will pirouette before the 19th!

Just had my maternity confirmation letter and have been told I definitely don't qualify for occupational maternity pay so I'm taking a £1200 per month drop in income!! So stressed! I only missed the threshold by 13 days! Don't know how we're going to cope financially as DHs visa appeal has been declined so he can't even work!!Angry

At least Baby is healthy!

ElleMcElle · 05/12/2017 19:24

Wise words from @WLMcI - 100% agree! I've been getting very strung out about things recently too, so you're not alone @millsbynight

millsbynight · 05/12/2017 20:12

Thanks for all the love ladies ❤️ He has gone out with mates tonight which I think is for the best as I’m in no mood to talk to him and we both need to calm down. I hate arguing/fighting with him as i have DS from previous relationship so always try to keep the home happy and peaceful for his sake. Lucky for us it is rare when that DH and I fall out like this.

That’s really tough @ziggzagg Sad I promise you will cope! You’ll find ways to adjust in the short term even though it doesn’t feel like it right now and really hoping your DH visa comes through soon x

OP posts:
Waitingonasmile · 06/12/2017 20:18

How are things today @millsbynight?

@ziggzagg what awful news! Really hope things gets easier for you soon.

millsbynight · 06/12/2017 21:30

You’re so sweet for checking in on me @Waitingonasmile ! I’m ok. H and I civil with each other. He’s just being a stubborn man-child who doesn’t want to apologise or recognise his mistakes 🙄

OP posts:
Ruthcarr1990 · 07/12/2017 07:37

@millsbynight think it must be something in the air as I have a one of them trying to blame his weekend antics on me!! Oh well wait till I’ve had the baby and go out because he will no exactly how it feels. Already booked my mum in for having the kids so he doesn’t even have to worry about having them!!

Chin up lady’s the end is in sight xxx

hanna87 · 07/12/2017 08:40

Last day at work today for me ladies 😃
Am counting down the hours..cannot wait to rest it up a little before bubba arrives xx

Waitingonasmile · 07/12/2017 08:51

@millsbynight Glad you are ok, hope he snaps out of it soon! My husband is just as bad and would behave even more badly rather than admit he was wrong Confused.

Last day at work for me Smile! I feel really good today and like I shouldn't be stopping but think that's just because the end is here lol.

ElleMcElle · 07/12/2017 09:53

@ForumUsername - They have some nice black PJ bottoms in Primark at the moment with small flowers on them... Also plain navy and plain black ones. Also some PJ tops with button fronts.
