Springy & Suprise have gone to Brum for the weekend.

contractions/BH's/ movement/ailments aplenty

sorry if i have missed anything out ....

I've just texted DH He's at uni with a group of young men, so we may get an even wider response than we hoped.

I wonder how many people get texts like this out of the blue:

'We have a question. Why is it okay for men's balls to hit our arses during sex, or similar scenarios, but not for any sort of other vaguely intense contact?'

Of course now he knows that I'm only MNing at the moment, so I probably should at least do something useful soon

I need some advice/opinions... a bit long...
What do you think?...
Dh says he wants to invite MIL and FIL down to help with the last minute baby prep as I'm having trouble with energy/ stairs. He wants to ask them to come help do a 'proper' clean and help paint and finish tidying the garden.
I really don't want them down I don't think. I'd be embarrased about the doing a 'proper' clean. and I'm so tired already I don't think I can cope with any more 'guests' for a while.
Personally the cleaniness of the house is reasonable enough for me and I feel the baby...I just want to get on the the nursery painting and the crib/cot painting. And I don't want anyone making a fuss...over me or any of the things...which MIL in particular is apt to do because it's all she ever does...
plus it's not like I can just set her loose in my house because she takes intiative only on things which mean so little to me that it's like dust in the comos (like what sort of product to use on the sink), while the things that do mean stuff to me she tends to deride my choices and question the benefits or embarassingly points things out which I would prefer she would just keep to herself, but in a really polite way so that you cannot really be angry with her..
What should I do? I admit I need some help as today clearly shows... but I cannot feel comfortable with the ILs...if it were my Mom and family...another picture ENTIRELY...but his

Haha, yes, Puzzle would have great fun with her statistical analysis

So another question - what about the men who enjoy the pain of having their balls trodden on, or stuff like that? Surely if it's that bad, it's just impossible to enjoy it? It's not like you ever get women saying 'actually, I was quite aroused by childbirth'...

Bleu, I think he's just trying to find a way to make you stop pushing yourself so hard! He can't ask your family to come & clean (partly because of the distance, partly because they're not his family), but he can ask his - & he probably thinks that if there are other people doing a lot of domestic stuff as well, that your load will be lessened so you can relax a bit.

If you don't want their help, then just tell him what you've explained to us - but please consider winding down a bit now. You're always so exhausted & worried about pleasing other people & nobody will think any less of you if you take a couple of weeks to breathe before the baby comes!

Bleu - for the sake of your sanity politely decline. and FGS woman you are always on the go, have a blardy rest for once in your pregnancy, let loose and lol on the sofa like the rest of us, you will be busy enough when the baby arrives use this time wisely and put your feet up and get your dh to pain the crib etc.

Springy - fab ooh maybe i should text dh the same???

I know Dh doesn't mind taking care of me/helping...but I mind because the poor boy is really stressed and it doesn't help him to see me so stressed...he needs time to cool down and de-stress (i.e. ride his bike) which he's not been getting a lot of lately because of me and my needs and the worries with jobs/job searching.

Hahaha:

'You know, that's a very good question. I've never thought about that. I really don't know.'

I love DH - he didn't even question why we'd be asking

Springy - how fab ok will text dh

Bleu - you have got to stop minding and start soaking up the attention, tbh your dh is probably relieved to be looking after you cos it takes his mind off the stress.

AND he feels the stress of all these things to do hanging over his head even if I think it's ok for a while... My 2 goals are simply paint crib and nursery... he's got an even longer list... with giving the house a proper clean and tidy the garden and freecycle/ebay a load of thngs and paint the stairwells and re do the attic... He should be the one at home nesting rather than me...

Springy - I'm sure I saw something on the thread about PIcke Me Up and Take a Break referring to an article about a woman who orgasmed when she gave birth (something like 9 children). I'm dying to know your DHs response. May text mine, just for fun. He is in an office full of blokes.

Bleu - I think I would say no. Mainly, I don't really like other people cleaning my house (for this read: "don't like other people seeing how dirty it is!"). Also, ILs, however well meaning, tend to be stressful, and if you are already feeling tired it will be even worse if you are worrying about them. I think it should be DH who really knuckles down and lends a hand with all the last bits and pieces. Or, Team April Mums could come round - we could do 10 minutes work each, collapse with exhaustion, but because there are so many, everything would be done!!

hi all , just a quick one to say hope you are all feeeling fine. I am so jealous that some of you are getting so so close now. I still have to wait until the 28th April!

But no more heartburn/reflux here thanks to the wonderful people who told me to ask for omeprazole, boy its a wonder drug!!!
Bleu-- get some now and if it works for you it will be heaven. I was munching and guzzling gaviscon by the bottle. Now its just one little capsule a day. Its FAB!!!

Now I just have to sort out my restless legs. MW has recommended having a rest during the day and keeping my legs raised a it is to do with circulation. So going to try that.

Bleu-- could you say you just want the nursery finished. It would drive me mad if someone came in and started a 'proper' clean like that. My mum bless her heart always puts things away if she babysits for us and I never know where to find them

Carameli - hurah for the heartburn being gone glad all is well with you

Aye. "don't like other people seeing how dirty it is!" This is how I feel about MIL who tends to be a bit like 'oo haven't dusted in a while...' Though she's not that rude being FAR too polite. But ILs coming over is really like having to entertain.
DH keeps saying that maybe the more we have them over the more they'll realise that our house doesn't run like theirs and they'll not expect a set table for every meal or need to be asked if they want a cup of tea or something to eat(I am personally horrible at remembering to offer this as in my parents house it's always been a 'want something? then go get it...or ask where it can be had- anything you see is yours' and I'm not much a a tea drinker anyhow) They often will sit about waiting to be entertained/ talked to rather than intiating? things...

9 children? She does realise that there are easier ways?

Bleu, I mean this in the nicest possible way (I really am quite in awe of you!) but you are being so American. Us Brits aren't half as worried about being surly or rude or a bit selfish, especially at the moment. You're living a life in the style of the whole 'have a nice day ' thing that seems so strange to us. I'm really not having a go at you (I think that it's lovely & like the American friendliness & all that) but I think that you need to understand that your ideas of how perfect things should be right now aren't shared by most people on this landmass - & you can definitely afford to take some time for yourself without anybody thinking any less of you at all. You're putting too much pressure on yourself - take a leaf out of our book & sit down & eat too much without worrying about what else there is to do!

Carameli, so pleased that your reflux is so much better. It's always nice when these things work as they should - we don't get enough of those stories! Anything that makes this last bit of pregnancy that little bit easier is a total Godsend.

hi all speeding through threads to catch up and what do i see in big letters anal virginity and my dh thinks mn is all about babies how wrong could he be.

hey springy whats so bad about a brummie baby i'm one and i turned out ok apart from dodgy accent although I live on the coast now. dh is being very sweet at the momement and bought me and ds cake and tea in a cafe overlooking the beach yesterday. He also did lots of housework over the weekend mmmm wonder what he's after . Shame really housework isn't the only wifey duty i'm neglecting, not really in a fit state for any romping at all so he will be disappointed

Made up the cot the other day even though we will use a moses basket for a while but it looked so sweet until dh found the cat curled up in it so i've now had to strip it again.

DH says about the balls thing... Difference between some nice steady or rythmic pressure and some sharp intense pressure. first being nice...second not so nice...

mrsfossil, I'm a Brummie baby, too In fact I'm just a Brummie. I was still living there this time last year & had never lived anywhere else. There's nothing wrong with it at all IMO, but Cumbrian DH may beg to differ

Bleu - springy is right, and tbh your dh may "worry" (i use that word very lightly) about these jobs but i'm betting it all pales in significance to your wellbeing and the top of his list will be "make sure bleu is comfortable and happy" above all else.

Wahey for Brummie babies Fossil (though strictly speaking I'm supposed to get all offended if called a Brummie, as am from the black country !!). Living near the coast does smooth the accent out a bit! Cake and tea overlooking the beach sounds just lovely. I want to go to the beach now! It's such a gorgeous day.

Mrsfossil - our cats did the same, we havent stripped it simply because they will just get straight back in and muck up the mattress. have ordered some cat nets now though to go over the cot and moses basket so when they arrive we will strip the cot and give the mattress a good clean.

Hmmmmmm......sharp intense pressure sounds quite nice....

Where in the Black Country, Ju? I'm from that end of Brum - I was born in Birmingham, grew up in a Birmingham post code, went to a Birmingham secondary school, but had a Yammer accent until I was about 12 due to my primary school being in Sandwell

I can say with total complete honesty Springy I have no idea what you're talking about. My whole day is a life of ease...I'm not going to work after all. I spend a good 85% of the day on my butt on the net. and another 5% on my butt (in the toilet [wry self mocking smile]) the other 10% of the day I wonder around the house being rather ineffectual but making it look like I've at least moved out of the livingroom.
In short I have far too much time for myself and I feel a right lazy cow for not getting more things done, pregnant or not.

Juw - i like the intense bit not so keen on the sharp

Near Stourbridge/ Dudley! My Dad is from Sandwell way though (though I'm not sure it was called Sandwell back then....). My family all have really broad accents, which was the cause of some ruffling of feathers at our wedding, when chavvy Kentish friends took the piss out of SILs blck country accent! Ooops!
