It feels difficult to function when the 'love of your life' seems to be constantly hurting your feelings.

im here too pfj i can take over when neeko finally decides to give birth

4everhopeful · 22/03/2010 11:15

Im here too pfj sorry to hear ur feelin low & unsupported, your Dp is prob finding it equally as hard as you to deal with things & im betting u are in the middle of the awful post mc hormone crash as ur cycle returns to 'normal'... Remember to be gentle on urself & have a big emmsys hug & some mini eggs! X x x x x ......Mornin Neeko try bouncin on Dh next! Glad Dd is so much better too, maybe ur well behaved babe was waiting for big sisters recovery as instructed! ..... Afternoon to Barbie bet its lovely over there at the moment, does Devon like the sun? I cant wait til our summer arrives!! (Hidden meanings in that statement! ) .......Lbm cheeky puttin urself ahead a whole week! I paniced & also got excited for a moment & thought i was further along too! ..... Im still in bed, spd now seems worse at night, have physio on weds, hopin will help.. Also have growth scan at fetal meds tomorrow at 11am to check progress/effect of 2 vessel cord bit weebly, had 2nd dream in a week about plane crashes last night which apparently means insecurity or fear of an unobtainable goal!

Neeko · 22/03/2010 11:51

PFJ Men are particularly useless when it comes to dealing with this. They don't know how to handle the fact that they couldn't protect you and are generally petrified of trying again. Also it's not macho to discuss it - far more manly to pretend it never happened. Not fair or right, but that's how they are and that's why you have us. Feel sorry for him - at least by talking about them you are dealing with your feelings. It will get easier, lovely, I promise.

Barbie Do I sense you becoming a little impatient?

4ever Here's my hand for tomorrow. Your girl's a fighter and all will be fine. Now stop bloody analysing your dreams and freaking yopurself out!

Pram is out the loft and clean. List finished!

ThePFJ · 22/03/2010 11:56

sorry am posting just about me, I am still here for you all..

I hope it is my hormones, because my DH is cutting it very close to breaking me completely with his fowl temper and his 'mistralations' of me trying to be nice to him becoming evidence for me trying to be manicially mean to him.

Dreams are funny things aren't they...? I had the fish dream again last night.. I can't remember if I told you all about the dream I had before my ectopic but basically a gold fish on the floor after an oak tree falls out of the night sky and crashes into our house and totals the kitchen, ....me trying to save the injured fish, but every glass I put it in smashed, so my father comes in, I yell at him to help me, so he puts it in the sink... phew.. and he then chops the by now very mangled fish cleanly in two. A day later I started with mc symptoms.

Last night after pissing about alot with another fish, this time on the bedroom floor, I managed to save it, and put it into a tank. I want to see that as a good omen, but my DH pointed out'why does the fish need to be saved? Why is it always on the floor to start with, with no evidence of a broken tank there in both dreams?'

Dreams are annoying.

ThePFJ · 22/03/2010 11:56

*mistranslations... damnit.

ThePFJ · 22/03/2010 11:59

Neeko - yes men are useless. A friend of mine lost her baby a few months after she was born years ago, and her DH can't even make love to her for fear of making another tragedy. I feel so badly for her. He won't face it, talk about it, nothing.. they are on the verge of separating.

barbie1 · 22/03/2010 12:01

coo wee 4ever Is your lo going to be called summer? or am i reading too much into your post? . You have every right to be wobbly for your scan, although im sure you will be 100% upright after it! Good luck at the physio. I guess i was very lucky having had a small baby i wasnt in too much discomfort throughout the whole pregnancy.

lbm lol at you q jumping and wishing yourself a whole week a head! I did laugh at your poo story too, black slug

vjay had a chuckle at your post re poo and you saying it will pass! The poo or the grumpyness

Gosh i must stop talking poo and get back to real life!

mls i was most jealous of your trip into convent garden, it was one of my most fav places when we live in surrey, lazy sundays browsing and enjoying the street entertainment.
Back in london on thursday but sadly only for one night as we leave early friday to go to a wedding in essex....how mad bra S o we are booked ve are we doing the flight and a wedding with a 5 and a bit week old

We were going to leave going home until Devon was three months, but as some of you might remember Dh mum has a bad eye after being attacked but now her eye is so bad she is having it removed. As she hasnt seen the baby we want to show her before she loses even more of her sight
We are booked to come home next week which coinsides with a wedding on route.....

just back from hospital for one month checkup where has the time gone....good weight gain, she is finally out of prem clothes! had an injectiion, i think i cried more than her, i hate seeing her hurt. She screamed so much my boobs started leaking and come through all my clothes...

Neeko · 22/03/2010 12:06

Oh PFJ my heart goes out to you. It's still such early days and everything is so raw. I know you want to try again immediately but maybe your DP feels under too much pressure? All I know is you have to keep talking and that can be really painful.

Can't help on the dream front, but funnily enough I dreamt I was being chased by a huge fish last night and DH saved me

Just logging off now to go to mum's but someone else'll be along in a minute hopefully. Keep your chin up. Thinking of you.

Neeko · 22/03/2010 12:10

Barbie x-post. Poor Dh's mum. Good that you're coming back to Blighty and letting her have q-time with Devon.
One month check How did that happen? Give Devon a kiss from me for being so brave.

P.S. I thought 4ever meant that too.

ThePFJ · 22/03/2010 12:18

Neeko I am so excited for you... am waiting with baited breath as to when you will pop.

Fish are obviously evil.

4everhopeful · 22/03/2010 12:38

4ever did mean that! !

VJay · 22/03/2010 12:51

4ever I thought that too, Summer is a gorgeous name

Hi pfj what is it about fish at the moment????? neeko has said it all really, men just cope in a different way. When I had my 1st mc ds was with me in the hospital and I was lying on a bed shaking with pain and fright and he absolutly hated it and said we weren't going to try again, which made me cry even more, but he only said that because he never ever wanted to see me go through that again. Just try and keep talking, but that is what we are here for, men don't seem to like going over and over thoughts and feelings, but we do, so we are all here to listen and comfort xxxxx

barbie Devon can't be a month old already , time is going too fast

I've been to the docs today, she is referring me to physio and putting me through as an emergency, the I've arranged for another coil check but that's not until late April, but if the pain gets any worse there I will go back sooner.

neeko get bouncing

VJay · 22/03/2010 12:52

Meant dh was with me, not ds!!!!

We need to start thinking about a new thread ladies

VJay · 22/03/2010 12:54

ThePFJ · 22/03/2010 12:57

ThePFJ · 22/03/2010 12:59

VJay · 22/03/2010 13:00
