Due November 08 - A clove of garlic to cure Strep B...but where do I put it? Oh dear, Oh me ;0)

[LackaDAISYcal]

I kept it pretty clean; too chicken for anything else

will try and catch up on posts just want to put a me, me, me post on first.

DH is without going into it is making me very depressed to the point that I go off and have a cry quietly. Had a horrible night with him last night. It was that bad I considered just getting in the car (in my pjs) and just driving as I hated being in the house with him. Even worse we had the night to ourselves as mum had DS (even though he got cold) and I expected with it being the last chance we can go out together before baby (dropped enough hints and even asked) to be taken out for a meal and treated well (doesnt tend to happen) like I was special and he actually means it when he says he "loves me". It didnt happen and I just ended up stuck in the house with this thing that constantly made me depressed and doesnt care about anyone but himself.

Then today he has been terrible with me and DS. We didnt pick DS up until 11 either and DS is ill.

I just feel so s**t and DH behaviour and lack of love just doesnt make me look forward to the new arrival (39wks tomorrow).

Oh vbab, my heart goes out to you. The thread is so busy I can't recall if you mentioned problems with your dh before. Is it just that he has got lazy and can't be bothered to make the effort with you or is it something more than that? This is a stressful enough time for us all without the men letting us down.

{{{{{{hugs}}}}}} vbab . Not sure what to suggest lovely, but try and not get too stressed about it all. Easier said than done I know.

oh vbab is this a one off or something more permanant??? I have posted before that during both my previous PG's (and indeed this one!) my DH has a bit of a selfish, me, me, me moment where he turns into an absolute twat for about a week. I have concluded that this is all down to him facing up to his responsibilities and thinking "Oh my life as I know it is over"

He was dreadful with DS1 and not as bad DS2 and better still this one, but it is quite a common occerence in my experieence.

How are things now??

lacks what a great source of knowledge you are - Drswife reckon you might beat me to a baby!!!

My DH and I have also had moments during all my pregnancies. He was especially twattish when I was pregnant with DS as he wanted to end the relationship......but obviously he came good in the end.

He has been great this time around, but I think he has learend to keep it to himself as he knows how crap I've been with my mobility etc through this pregnancy. He's still had his twattish moments though and they usually involve him wanting to spend a whole day fishing and using DS as an excuse whilst I want him to help me get the house ready.

What is it about sundays and men?
I was having a ding dong with DH this morning for being thoughtless too.
Telling him that DD and I are so much happier when he is not around cos when he is he just causes upset and arguments.
To be fair, I guess you can't have too many arguments with a 2year old so they are bound to be less when he is not around.
But they (men) can just be so thoughtless sometimes. I bet your DH had no idea that you fancied a night out and, being that you are 39 weeks, maybe he thought a night in would suit better?
Talk to us gentlemen, you will get more answers and understand us a little better if you do so.
A tall order for most though, eh?

OOh docswife you're gonna have a baby soon. I so hope you are up at 2am with contractions.
I am also only in my 35 week, I may just be hitting 36, I just can't remember. And the end seems impossibly far away.

Did I tell you all that they are still concerned about baby's size? He is still only 4llb, 2 weeks ago he was 3llb 10oz, so that is not much to be putting on in 2 weeks is it?
They are gonna scan me again in another 2 weeks to see what is happening.

How did they find out abut pinkys placenta not working so well. I am worried that that will be me in 2 weeks. If baby is just not growing enough, they may decide to get him out?
But I am second guessing and just supposing. I will remain calm and wait to see what they say. No point panicing before the need to arises. Even then, there is a littleselfish bit of me that would be happy cos I so want to meet this wee guy
Wasn't I just saying how frightened I was last week? Fickle thing that I am

lol at great source of knowledge, Dozy....some might say know it all

Am toying with the idea of training as a doula so take an interest in all these things.

I think the baby hadn't grown since her last appointment so the MW sent her for a scan. I think they can tell from the ultrasound how the blood is flowing to and from the placenta as well.

I hope all is well with yours missygoo.

Gosh so much has happened since last night. Fingers crossed for DW I hope you get to meet your lo tomorrow!

vbab sorry to hear about DH - mine hasn't taken the hint about having a cosy weekend either. I'm going to book a meal out during the week as I'm having a membrane sweep on Thursday. I wanted to go to the cinema too, to see anything, but he said he'd rather wait for 007, I reminded him that we might be parents by next weekend and the reply I got was 'well that's the risk we'll have to take'. So no cinema and no meal for me so far .

They can be so insensitive can't they?!!

Oh, so was it all a rush?
Mine seemed fine at the scan n Friday, I mean the blood flow from the placenta to baby.
They told me a couple of scans ago that that was what they were checking. At thi slast scan they did't really tell me much about what they were doing, but then I was distracted by DD and they will have figured there was no point in repeating themselves.

DD was so funny at the scan, she is good every time I have appointments. Insisting that I lie on the bed to 'hear baby' and when I do she has to hold my hand. This time she actually wanted to lie with me, which was fine for a mo but didn't last, obviously So the scanning lady said that it would be her turn after. Which DD took on board and the moment I was up, demanded to be 'put on bed' and immediately hauled her top up The lovely scanning lady immediately took back her, cleaned, scany thing and gave DDs wee tummy a scan! teehee. Then told DD that she had had rice crispies for breakfast. Which she had, funnily enough. DD thought it was all just fab!!
She is only 2, bless her little cottons.

mummynic that is the risk HE will have to take. You don't have to take that risk. Give 'im what for and get thee to the cinema, if that is what you want!!

Hmm, night out. Meals not at our own dinner table. What are those??
Methinks it is time that I told DH I want to be treated!
We were meant to be going out for our anniversary, had put the money aside and everything (literally, it was in the biscuit barrel, so we wouldn't spend it) But spend it we seem to have and no meal yet. What happened there? Anniversary was in September!
Oh, I remember, we went out for an anniversary lunch instead, with DD.
Still I want a meal out now

I insisted dh and I went for a nice lunch yesterday after my hospital check up. DD was with MIL so it was a chance to have a meal in peace and quiet. My dh can be a bit difficult to motivate at times. I find it better not to try and make him plan anything. I just decide and spring it on him at the last minute.

Awwwww bless your DD missygoo; that's a lovely story

Hi ladies

Wow DocWife, sounds promising, I hope you get the birth you want. X

Well DH just got a call so thought I would log on with a cherrier post than earlier.

Still aching like hell but trying to be more cheerful.
Thought I might make you laugh with comment from Bridezilla. She came round to measure DD for bridesmaid dress, 1st time seen her for weeks. I mentioned about the seatng plans at the wedding and don't forget we need room for pram, she said not to worry she was sitting us near the toilets I said why do I need to sit near the toilets, . .wait for it . . . incase the baby needs feeding Is it just me or does that seem wierd?

Really want to give BF my best shot this time but I am not planning on walking round with my boobies out but at the same time wince at the idea of sitting in a toilet cubicle, although she tells me the toilets are nice and painted lilac - FFS.

So once you finished ROFL let me know what you think!

hello

will catch up reading a mo.

have had a lovely sunday roast at in-laws house.

and have been planning our fireworks party, i figure a few loud bangs might scare this one out at 38 weeks lol.

lol Coolkat obviously they must be fine if they are Lilac!!
Vbab hugs for you
Drswife hope to get some news from you soon.
Missygoo your DD sounds so sweet aww

oh, coolkat, we shouldn't laugh as that's really quite insulting, but OMG what is your sister like

I'm sure the hotel will have a nice lobby with some big comfy sofas for you to move to if you'd rather not feed in a room full of people, but if I were you I'd be tempted to just get on with it just to annoy her.

does anyone have a cat? My cat is driving me nuts today; she has stuck to me like glue all day and if I get up she jumps into where I've been sitting. As soon as I shift her and sit down she is on top of me again and she even had a go at me when I tried to move her. I'm wondering if she has noticed a hormonal change or something? Cats are pretty inutitive animals.

Ooh nearly forgot mummynic I really haven't forgotten about you and will get the wrapper posted this week - Sorry

and mummynic; give your DH a kick in the pants and tell him you are going to the cinema with or without him; his choice.

Funny thing is Daisy its in Village hall

Mummynic go see HSM 3, I went with DH and DD on thursday, any excuse for choc and popcorn

Anyhow going to have a warm bath to see if helps pelvis before bed. DH back at work tomorrow and need to be up and ready for school, although Mum taking DD before she goes wedding dress shopping!

Coolkat am so v at your sister - Bridezilla probably sums her up!!

Doctorswife how exciting that you could be meeting your baby v v v shortly. Can't help at all on waters breaking etc as it never happened with DS but it looks like you have had some good advice anyway.

Must be something in the air today with DH/P's (is it a full moon ) Mine has been in a real grump for no reason that he is prepared to tell me. He has shouted at DS several times today for no reason, shouted at me several times etc. Even now, I tried sitting in the lounge with him but he is just not talking to me so I have retreated to the office for MN/Scrabble.

missy - I had not-very-subtly hinted that I wanted to see a musical (Phantom again preferably) in London for our 1st anniversary back in August. Still waiting.... But did get some nice flowers - about my 3rd bunch in 17 years!!!!

We'll go out for a curry this week I expect - I love our local Indian. We've become such hermits - rarely go out, even to visit friends - naughty really.

Coolkat - lilac loos, wow, that's pretty special and loos are SUCH an hygienic place to BF - you must thank bridezilla for her thoughtfulness.... . I worry that I haven't seen HSM1 and 2 - would it matter? My niece would love to see it and it's half term this week so I could take her and have a 'girlie day' - she's only 8 and the only girl (my sister has 2 boys and my lo is a boy).

Daisy - I might go shopping again - that'll frighten him - I've spent hundreds (feels like it anyway) since starting leave!!

LadyBuzz - no rush, it's for 6m isn't it?

In your own time

Big hugs to those with pelvis problems - my SPD is quite bad and my hips are killing me too - I'm glad they aren't going to let me go overdue so only 11 days to go at the most!!

I've just spoken to Obs . She sounds in much better spirits tonight and has been expressing like a mad thing to get milk into DS2. She managed to get 200ml from each boob in one sitting so he has had lots of milk and she feels more comfortable and they are both more settled. She wanted me to say a Big Thanks for all the support she's had and doesn't know where she'd be without mumsnet and we're to give ourselves a big pat on the back, especially Cricri and Autumn Lady who she'll see tomorrow. She is trying to get him feeding from her now and getting her blood sugars sorted out. DS2 has some jaundice but she will hopefully know tomorrow whether ro not she will be allowed home. Fingers crossed things are well enough for that to happen. I texted her last night about keeping a PMA so she said to tell ChocO she has been repeating it as a mantra all night

Go Obs, Go Obs, Go Obs...woo

just a quick pop in!
got a lovely picture message from obs of her beautiful new baby boy.
she sounds like she is doing well

200ml? isn't that about 6oz? I'm sure I thought a 3oz milking was a good one! I'm glad she's feeling better about things and hope she gets her sugars fixed soon.
Hope everyone has a good night
Today has felt sooo long but got plenty done - finally tidied the pile of clothes in our room (approximately my entire wardrobe!) hoovered and put up baby's bed. Don't feel at all nesty though, just a job that needed doing. Having said that nesting last time amounted to cleaning out the fishtank and hamster cage!
DS has been really cute as well - pretty much daily he's coming out with new words at the mo. And DH was so impressed with his painting!
