Ok folks here is the new thread. I have put it into ante natal again for now, we can always start a new one in the post natal forum once we have all popped.

:D Could have used that for a thread title.... Once you pop you just can't stop

Yet another moan from me I'm afraid, and another copy and paste from Oct thread.

Sorry, I'll catch up with everyone later

Am I being totally unreasonable... I don't think I am but then again I might be, so please bring me back down to the ground if I am

After the babysitter fiasco and her deciding to go on hols over due date, but then going a week later (which is good) my mum phones me today and says, you aren't going to give birth early are you, as I have the chance to go away for a week, getting back on the 27th Sept...

...then dh rings, am I ok booking to do a corporate clay pigeon shoot day on the 4th Oct, you'll be ok won't you?

WHY IS EVERYONE PLANNING TO DO STUFF SO CLOSE TO MY DUE DATE?????

I have no idea when this one decides to come, but it could come a week early or a week late and everyone seems to want to be elsewhere.... I am so bloody frustrated and feel like I am being very unreasonable, I just want some stability fgs

Mrs Fish - I don't think you are being unreasonable. You need to know that the people who should be there for you will be there for you when you need them to be. I got mad with my DH because he is going away for three nights in three weeks time when my LO is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

Am not sure what to do with myself for the next couple of hours. Am leaving for the hospital at 7.15 and am feeling very unsettled. I might try and have a hot bath since wallowing in the bath might become something of a luxury soon.

hello everyone, can I have a moan please. I just need to get some stuff off my chest and don't really have anyone else to cry on.

I didn't sleep at all last night. Little Liam was awake until 2am. Ds2 up from 2-4:30am, and ds1 up from 4:20-6am. Then Liam woke for another feed at 6am. When that was finished it was time to get up for the day.

Today I had 2 friends coming round. I also got a call from the health visitor saying they really wanted to come and weigh Liam this morning and do the new baby checks. So I had a friend round when they came. Next had to go out to shops to get stuff for lunch for next friend and her dd, and then they came round. Also I've had loads of washing to do and lots of clearing up from all the visitors over the weekend. I'm so so tired. People also keep phoning me. Everyone's being lovely but its never ending. The phone's just gone again, but I ignored it and burst into tears instead. And stupidly I cried in front of ds2 who is now confused and worried about me.

To top it all, doing the school run ds1 decided to run off without telling me where he was going. He just went off to play with some friends out of sight leaving me on the playground. He came back after 10 minutes but I was furious. I know I would have handled it better if I wasn't so tired. When I was ranting at him I told him he can't go to karate tonight and he's to go to bed by 6. I know it was unfair to say that, but I'm not sure how to go about letting him go now without him thinking I'm a complete pushover.

And to cap it all, I am dreading friday as I may have to go back to work. I burst into tears every time I think about it. If you remember I had trouble claiming maternity benefit from my employer (NHS), well I challenged their decision and the other day I got a letter from the bastards who unequivocally explained they will not let me have a penny. My last chance now is maternity allowance, but it might take some time to come through. Unfortunately the mortgage doesn't wait, so I might have to work until it comes through. I'll try to get down to the job centre tomorrow to sort it out. The health visitor thinks I shouldn't work so soon as I have a premature baby to care for.

It wasn't meant to be like this. I'm so depressed about the work thing. I know compared to most of you I'm in a privilaged positon with my baby already with me safe and well. And I can have my brie and parma ham if I want to. So I know I'm treading on very thin ice moaning here. But as I said I don't have a shoulder to cry on.

That all said, I'll probably be ok tomorrow. Or if not, able to keep it below the surface a bit better. Right I'll stop the self indulgent crap now. Sorry its all me me me.

Good afternoon ladies.

Congratulations to kelmcd and MrsMoomar! The list is growing!
Mrs Fish It's not unreasonable to hope people will not vanish off on very important corporate clay pigeon shoots or on holidays around the EDD - perhaps mentioning how awkward it is calling for an ambulance (or paying for waters breaking in a minicab) would get a point across?
Hayley, it 's a tough one, but your X-DP doesn't sound like the person you need in that labour room, esp if you know you don't want him around afterwards. He can meet the baby in good time, when it suits you, surely?
Kyala, good to hear Homer is starting to come round a bit!
Waving to all! 11 days to the EDD, and we've realised the pushchair is difficult to fold and the travel seat weighs a ton, hurrah! I'm missing my little Graco of 5 years ago, what has happened to buggies in this time???Still, I've now finished the hospital bag, popped a shower curtain under my bedding and got in some emergency cartons of formula "just in case"... should be enough to get LO moving, surely!

amyclaramum - eloise is totally adorable. Very
mrs fish - I can see why you are exasperated but not sure you can do anything. is the clay pigeon day close enough that he can get back? my dh announced last week he has to be away two nights this week. I'm 38 weeks but still feel a bit nervy as my family are hours away. My mum would normally have come but has her next chemo tomorrow so it's just fingers crossed that nothing happens. I've decided to stop trying to worry about everyone else - originally thought if could keep it in til mum finishes chemo in three weeks then it'd all be great but now they've scheduled her radiotherapy practically straight after. I figure even if it is just us and midwife we'll be ok!!
omg edie - bleeding!!I think they need to come up with something good or you should have a major pregnant strop!!!
had my nap now so off to put all new mini things away

hi all, hope you are all feeling as well as can be expected. I feel for you mrsfish, I'm due friday and am having to walk to and from school this week beacuse people moving house [choosing this week to] going away and all sorts of other things that could have been done earlier or later.

ds2 is playing up and I can't help feeling a bit up and down as dd and I reach the end of our one to one time when the ds's are at school.
I have never got this far in a pregnancy before and am feeling overdue already.
I don't want this one to be born on the due date as it is the same as my ex evil stepmothers.

Kinki I really feel for you ? what a b*gger of a position to be in.
First of all ? (and I am taking this advice solely from all the books I've read being a first time-er) shouldn?t you be saying no to visits from friends at the moment unless they bring something? (like food, washing powder, help/babysitting time etc). Don?t take on too much ? sounds like your DCs are enough to deal with!
And nightmare re work ? what crap employers they are! Is there any way you can delay mortgage payment/ loan some money from family or something for the moment? It doesn?t sound as though you should be going back to work. Really hope it sorts out, good luck, thinking of you.

Mrs Fish ? yes all my family (apart from DH) have gone away for 2 weeks (coming back 2 days after due date) but after initial deserted feeling I am relieved to be distant from my mother?s constant enquiring about my health/ state of baby etc. But seriously, it?s a bugger if you don?t want them to go ? people are just so inconsiderate aren?t they? Don?t feel bad about moaning, all moans are welcome here! (Just don?t get me started? having probs with next door's excavation work exposing our foundations - can't bear to think about it!)

Hope everyone else is well and chilling out. I am off to get another ice lolly from the freezer and sit down with desperate housewives? (this is a worry distraction technique)

try not to worry too much about labour, its often as good or bad as you let it be. Of course it will really hurt, but worrying will make it worse.

sorry to sound like a book or 'birth expert' as I am neither. For what its worth I'm a bit scared too, its normal at this point I think.

But all done now, very uncomfortable and she said my cervix was hard as a rock and my body was nowhere near ready for labour. so am booked in for an induction on Monday but the hospital can't guarantee me a bed. So probably another week to ten days to go and will be full 42 weeks by time i have this baby. Really pissed off with it all.

kinki - oh you poor thing, please keep coming and telling us what is going on if it helps. What a difficult situation, is there anyone who can help financially so you can stay home a bit longer?? thinking of you...

mrsfish - I have something similar too. I asked my brother and my mil to provide childcare for my boys when I go into hospital and they both agreed quite readily. Since then I have just re-checked and instead of saying "of course I am available" I am getting quotes more along the lines of "should be ok I guess". WTF!!! Either you do it or you don't. For some reason whenever I need them my family kind of drop out of the picture and my friends end up coming through for us - it is very frustrating. Blood is not thicker than water in this house!

holly29 - Can't wait to tell DH that other heavily pregnant women actually do have lives.....

amyclaramum - how gorgeous is Eloise, I love those black and white pics! Her older sisters are lovely too.......

sophus - cervixes are like women, they change all the time . I am thinking >> thoughts for you. Lots of long walks and stair climbing perhaps???

edie - I had terrible itching in my last pregnancy, not as bad as yours but I know how utterly miserable it can be. I tried every cream too and the only thing that finally helped a bit was putting a humidifier on in my room at night. Do you have a cool-mist one? I used a steam one but then it was winter when I had the problem.

canadianmum - 39+2 and still feeling patient

Is there any way you can ask your family to help you out financially? Just for a bit? It would at least take some of the pressure off... lots of hugs.

CanadianMum - sorry. My DH was not keen at all on me going at all either. I had to bargain quite hard and promise to take it really easy today (which was good, because I felt totally exhausted from it!). x

Evening ladies, oh my word look at all the posts since last night! you girl's have been busy!

emj23: Glad to hear I'm not the only whinger here but just think if we didn't have MN we'd be even worse to live with!
I too have had the nesting instinct kick in but just don't have the energy to actually do anything! So, am resorting to asking big favour's of friends, am being taken into town, along with a LOT of my junk, for the charity shops I'll think of something nice to do for that friend once this baby's out of me, like, she can have the pleasure of looking after it for a night or something LOL

EdieMcredie: Hope that itch goes away you poor thing! Sounds like your doc is very cool! I want one like that! I don't think I've even been able to see the same doc twice, despite my going being very carefully selected Also does anyone else have this happen?: You phone up and ask for an appointment when you pretty much need to see a doc asap and you can't get one until like next week, but when you're not in any particular hurry you can get an appointment the next day?! think it's a conspiracy myself!

Sophus: Aren't cats fun?! and just think you'll have a LO around too soon so you'll have twice as much fun, and then LO will learn to walk and talk and. . . Oh that's right . . . pull cat tails
And as for cars . . . well you know it knows you're due soon! LOL
Glad all's well with cat now, MW sounds lovely being 42 weeks isn't necessarily a bad thing but then again if I get that far I'm going to be pushing this LO out whether it wants to come or not

MrsFish: Wow! That's nothing, my DD gets up at 9ish (I know I'm really lucky!) and I'm still grumpy if she kicks off (she'll wake up most days and call me nicely but if she wakes up grumpy she gets nasty with the crying and screaming straight away, no warnings, which only makes me really bad to be around all day!)
Why is everyone asking you like you know exactly when LO's coming?! They all seem to have your baby brain LOL

Scottishmummy: well done on choice of lunch am afraid I'll be going a few steps further and not throwing our the stretchy pants for a couple of months due to immense weight gain but well done you!

Mrsbumblebee: Did you save us any of that chocolate fudge?!! Mmmmm could kill for something gooey right now, which reminds me I asked DH to bring me home some choccy. . .

EmlouT: Hope you had a really good day today and good luck for LO's arrival

HIWBB: Thanks glad I can make someone smile, no-one here seems to be smiling too much with my hormones acting the way they are, Oh well, at least I don't have to deal with me
I managed to do both washing and dishwasher today, hope you did too! Mind you I had DD helping (well, as much as a 2yo can help lol)
Good luck with all that driving tomorrow, sounds like great fun! (not)

Ccpink: Trust me your brain will return but everyone around you will lose their's!!

Hammerheadshark: Nice to meet you yet another busy house mover, what is it with you guys leaving it until the end of your pregnancies to move?! you're all crazy! LOL
Glad to hear you're all sorted now though

Amyclaramum: Wow! Three weeks already?! it really doesn't seem that long, maybe it wont be so bad waiting for my LO afterall (Am I kidding? Yes, get it out!!!! My hips are killing meeeeee )
Just looking back at the arrivals lounge and Eloise was the same weight as my DD, and she was 10 days overdue!! Did they get your original dates wrong? Or would she just have been a MASSIVE baby?!

Kinki: If it were me I'd've phones all the friend's that were due round and cancelled, said "no" to the HV, and explained why, and tried to get the kids to have an afternoon nap or play in their rooms or something ( not entirely sure how old each are, and am now too lazy to check LOL)
As for your employees, make sure if you are having to return that you work to rule!! They are taking the piss, and leaving things to the last minute means that you've not been able to make arrangements for your new LO, they need telling this and they need to help you if they want you not to be pressing them with a discrimination battle!

Hayley: Yeah good ole mum's! Ooh pamper day sounds good, might just take my wool out at some point and wash my hair (yes, that's my idea of being pampered LOL) but don't really want my wool out of my hair if I go into labour, as it's so much easier to deal with when in wool. . . . Blooming hippy
Absolutely no ideas on gift, sorry We're just going to get DD anything she wants at the time (probably something "In the night garden" related as she's only 2, so easily pleased)

Anywho, today was very uneventful, baked a banana loaf, which has pretty much gone, currently baking a loaf of bread (as we didn't have nay for lunch) and DD has been, both, good and bad today so pretty boring really
Might just have to go into town tomorrow just for the change of scenery
Hope you all get a good night's sleep, I'm going back in the nursery tonight as the past 2 nights sleeping in DH's bed (I know it's our bed but it's his most of the time now ) has left my legs aching, just can't turn over as easily in that bed either Got to break the news to him now that he wont be waking up next to me tomorrow morning I'm sure he'll cope though

Night night all, sorry for the extremely long post, but was mostly catching up
xxx 39+5 (getting closer. . . .)
