I got nothing.

I'm so incredibly uncomfortable and I think that every little thing is the beginning of something, like my rock hard bump most of the day, but I haven't gotten anything.

I can't wait for Monday's doctor appointment hopefully she'll tell me if I've had any progress. I just want to be told what's going on.

I told my friend I had to hold out until Thursday because she's moving back home on Wednesday and has never seen me pregnant so I told her I'd try.

How about you, any signs.

Lwatkins · 04/05/2007 21:37

Oh Lupins

Why on earth isn't he helping you out more? You've just had a baby for god sake! It was a c-section as well wasn't it? Get him whipped into place, if he's gonna be an arse stop doing anything for him. Don't cook, don't do his washing, don't clean up after him etc. If he's not gonna treat you with a bit of respect and offer a helping hand then show him that it can and it WILL swing both ways if that's how he wants it. I'm pretty sure that you being a female, can hold a far worse grudge and argument than him. Give him a run for his money and see how he likes it, or just lock him out so he can't get back in tonight. Leave a sleeping bag outside for him

Lwatkins · 04/05/2007 21:38

AHA I spot an LG&T!

cameroonmama · 04/05/2007 21:39

ahh there you are LG&T, lol at Hugs in your bed, please don't put him on ebay, I'll have him on buy it now, when I try to share a bed with ds he says 'ok mummy that's enough now, get out'

LupinsBigLump · 04/05/2007 21:40

Thanks ladies I would like to say im hormonal and sleep deprived, but im far from it Arlen is only waking once maybe twice and im such a light sleeper anyway that it hasnt really been a problem as for hormonal well maybe a little but I just seem so angry and frustrated at him more than anything - he wasnt even worried that we didnt have the rent this month, i had to go to my family (again) and borrow it, he doesnt do night feeds scoot - I asked him if he would last friday as he goes out on a friday and is back about 12 but doesnt usually go to bed till 3 or 4am, so i said if Arlen woke up would he do the feed so i could sleep through and he said no! He is quite happy to sit at his pc all day and night and not help around the house at all, I have tried asking for help b4 MKG and saying im fad up and feel like leaving and he always says here you go again, I really feel lile doing it this time, i just dont feel in a position to with a newborn a daughter and no money of my own

scootermum · 04/05/2007 21:41

thereshe is...think Hugs and Lily bean must be in cahoots because she woke at 3am and didnt go back off till 5, then woke at 6.30...she just would not settle at all-I guess it was because it was her first night back-I hope so anyway-cant face a repeat performance tonight..my hair has turned into wire wool for some reason-quite literally, some strands have gone all crinkly and horse hair-y..gross...gonna put some deep conditioner on it tomorrow, and should really lay off the straighteners for a while-but then would have to walk around scaring people, unless I dig out some sort of hat..(I read in Grazia that the Turban is a big look right now-but strangely havent seen anyone wearing one on the high st!)

Think I am getting a bit of SPD now-ruddy painful to move now right down the front of my bits--is that what it would feel like?

Lwatkins · 04/05/2007 21:42

Cam - kids say the sweetest things eh!

cameroonmama · 04/05/2007 21:43

Scoot - Amanda Holden, can't stand her either, just something about the way she smiles...

Dh returned at lunchtime, yippee, so I had a sleep this afternoon and we have just had a yummy indian takeaway. He has been telling me tales of all the networking he did in NYC, I'm beginning to think that he may be an international spy after all

LupinsBigLump · 04/05/2007 21:45

LGT your back, we are complete again

LW I love your attitude, 5 years ago i would have had the balls to do it as well

MKG · 04/05/2007 21:46

OK now that the normal reasons for post-natal upset have been ruled out:

Kick is ass to the curb.

scootermum · 04/05/2007 21:47

Im sorry to be unhelpful, but My God!

Can you go and stay at your parents for a bit-would that shake him up at all?

Lwatkins · 04/05/2007 21:49

Amanda Holden, is that that really stuck up blonde that was in that shite african, animal tv series thingy? If it is, don't like her either!

LG&T and Scoot sorry spd is getting at you. Mine has eased of a fair bit but instead my little one seems to like spinning on her head on top of her mummies nerves making me gasp in pain and unable to walk! PLeasant stuff......

Lupins Could you maybe get away with the kids for a few days? Go stay with some family and friends and get away from dp for some space?

Cam lovely to hear your dh is finally home. Spy hmmmmmm, does he have connections with Daniel Craig by any chance?

MKG · 04/05/2007 21:50

Lupins shouldn't leave, why should she change her life and her kids' lives. He's the one that needs to go.

scootermum · 04/05/2007 21:56

Ah cameroonmama-the international spy returns-good o..

Lupins-Have just been telling Mr Scoot about Mr Lupins and he was outraged on your behalf and says tell her to come to stay with us if she wants..(if she doesnt mind a potentiall falling in roof!)

(of course now he thinks he is the perfect eg of husband and Father-he is quite good-im very lucky-but he is nothing on SOH's and have told him so to keep his head small..)

LupinsBigLump · 04/05/2007 21:56

Not really, mum is all i have and she is 300 miles down in cornwall as i dont drive i cant really get all arlens gear down there very easily on the train and dont want to disrupt dd she has been pretty unsettled after me being in hospital, also i have my dog to think of, which again he has never helped with always said he is my dog so doesnt see why he should help, I just feel apart fromn his crappy attitude we have grown apart and want differant things, I am a totally differant person than i was 9 years ago, saying that he has been a rock for me when i was having panic attack and when my brother died and when we lost Morgan, soooo confused tonight thank goodness i have u lot

LupinsBigLump · 04/05/2007 21:57

thankyou mr & mrs scoot xx

Lwatkins · 04/05/2007 21:59

Yes Lupins I'm a bit fiery at the best of times, can't stand it when men act like pricks, excuse my language. But it just makes me

I may not be married or have a partner to raise my baby with but I'd much prefer that than put up with crap. Possibly why me and my ex didn't work out lol! Why put up with someone elses s**t - you've got your own to deal with that's my philosophy.

Ahhhh, relationship politics. Complicated stuff. Come stay with me, I'll help you out and feed you lots of chocolate my lovely

LupinsBigLump · 04/05/2007 21:59

Feeling some slight revenge has been taken, the money i didnt buy pizza with on HIS credit card I have just spunked on bingo hehehehe

scootermum · 04/05/2007 22:00

Thats her lwatkins--I cant stand her-I once saw her in Primrose hill being papped at the time of her divorce from Les Dennis..only time have been on the side of the nasty photographers...dunno what it is about her...but it isnt helped that she went back to being a size 8 and looking fabulous all of a week after having her baby..then went on This Morning and claimed it has just happened when clearly she had been eating nothing but wheat grass for a fortnight and spending every waking hour in the gym leaving the child with a nanny...or something like that..see dont get me started on her....

largeginandtonic · 04/05/2007 22:02

Poor you Lupins, i used to have an ex like that. No baby help and hours on the pc ignoring everything else around him. Lucky for me i was saved by now DH. Hope you find the strength to get through it, we are all here for you. You have my number chick, call me if you like

Thanx for noticing i had vanished, felt like i had too. It is like missing a meet up with friends.

Lwatkins · 04/05/2007 22:02

That's a girl Lupins!

scootermum · 04/05/2007 22:06

Did you win Lups?
IMO it shouldnt matter what he's done for you in the past-love and support shouldnt be finite resources-but I know thats easy to say and not so easy to act on...
You must try to talk to him I guess and see what his story is...we are always here and you can email me on my yahoo if you like as [email protected] sorry you are feeling like this when it should be such a happy time-but lo's are the important bit and yours are gorgeous so thats a good point to focus on...

Can your Mum come to you at all then?For a bit of support maybe?Whereabouts do you live BTW?

Lwatkins · 04/05/2007 22:07

Ah Scoot, yes I definatley do NOT like her. She's really up herself and snotty! Things like that wind me up with celebs - they breed and then hire nanny's straight away to look after there kids

LG&T we missed you today! Starting to think that babyG&T had escaped!

largeginandtonic · 04/05/2007 22:09

HA! Just skimmed and saw your 'hiding in the bathroom' post from earlier Scoot.....some days you just cant bear a visit. Ive been there, just be lucky Lily didnt shout out "my mummies in the bathroom!"

PMSL

Lwatkins · 04/05/2007 22:10

Like Madonna adopting that liitle boy, David was it? She's never with him. She adopts a kid then hires someone else to raise him! Don't get it personally.
