Shit State, is there something in the air today? Shock

BonkeyMollocks · 15/11/2012 12:34

Oh State :(

T'is a snuggle day in the puddle !

StateofConfusion · 15/11/2012 12:44

Must be show

He's back with dd and playing at mr nice talking sickly sweet loudly, I want to go downstairs and punch him in the face, I am so angry with him I can't stop crying and shaking. I've now got a splitting headache. I've got a cake order for tomorrow so I should be doing the sponge today to give me longer time to decorate tomorrow but I don't want to be anywhere near him to ask him to take me to sainsburys. I'm staying upstairs.

showtunesgirl · 15/11/2012 12:55

Keep munching. And take deep breaths, this can't be good for you.

Can you get the ingredients yourself and then beat the hell out of the cake?

StateofConfusion · 15/11/2012 13:00

Were a 10 minute drive from the nearest shop that has what I need and I'm no good walking far anymore.

He came upstairs to change his socks and asked if I'm just sitting up here all day now, I said I don't really want to be around him and he muttered something about be like that then. He won't appolagise he never does, I'm so shocked hed stand there screaming at me how he did when I was already crying.

I'm going to have to go down as I need some lunch and he's getting crabby with dd for dropping yogurt on her top.

Tee2072 · 15/11/2012 13:46

Wow, State. How horrible. He is acting totally like a child. There is no excuse for that.

{{{State}}}

StateofConfusion · 15/11/2012 13:59

I'm actually going to murder him, whilst I was eating lunch he decided to bring the changing table downstairs, yes it was going to go there but NOT YET, yes I had spoken to him about it but at no point did I say please dp trash the carefully organised baby corner of our bedroom. I now have no idea where to put stuff and it had been keeping me awake before I sorted it! I had all the 'stuff' stored on it in our room so now my rooms trashed and I'm having to sort that.

Shaky · 15/11/2012 16:12

Oh blimey!
Poor you State I hate having rows, I'm no good at it, I just cry when I get angry. I tend to seethe silently, swearing in my head. Big hugs and snuggles.
I just read about your funny turn in sainsburys, do you think you could be anaemic? It might be an idea to start taking some iron tablets and ask your midwife to check your iron levels. The best way to take iron tablets is with a drink of orange juice as vit c helps to absorb more iron. Avoid drinking tea with your meals as the tannin in tea stops you absorbing the iron from your food.
Being anaemic may account for you feeling so exhausted (as well as already having 2 dc's to look after). I hope things are better for you soon x

Tee I hope you are feeling better soon.

Show my ds is very challenging at the moment as well, he's so bloody stubborn.

I've been having a bad week too. Still feel really ropey from increasing my meds and the depression has been bad this last week. My sick note runs out tomorrow so I'll be back to the docs. There is no way I'm fit to go back to work just yet, I have zero energy. I went upstairs for a shower and sat down on the bed for a little rest, woke up 3 hours later!

The conservatory is still not finished although we have had the floor tiled and the electrician is coming tomorrow.

AND the bloody washing machine has packed in.

I was going to see my sister yesterday and ds started coughing and threw up all over the car, everywhere. I had to pull over, strip him off, clean car seat and change him at the side of the road. Not fun. Got going again and 5 minutes later he did it again, it was everywhere. Stripped off etc all over again. He's been ok since though. I can't quite get the stink of spew out of the car yet .

I have spent a couple of days reading some of the mad, bonkers threads on here, I have been Shock

showtunesgirl · 15/11/2012 16:22

It's all a bit Twilight Zone at the mo isn't it? Confused

Shaky · 15/11/2012 17:03

Definitely mad as a box of something or other Grin

StateofConfusion · 15/11/2012 18:07

Thanks for the advice shaky couldn't get hold of my mw today so I'm booked for general clinic on wednesday but will call tomorrow and hopefully see her before then.
Had really bad tightenings this evening and I think spd may have caught up with me at last.

Dp still being a twat I'm biting my tongue though until the children are in bed.

I'd been feeling so upbeat but he's really knocked it out of me and I feel like I'm going to cry the whole time.

Shaky · 15/11/2012 20:11

Ouch! SPD is painful. Have you had it before?
Do you have any paracetamol to take (or cocodamol if you need it)?
I have seen women on crutches with SPD before, it's so painful.
It's worth mentioning it at your clinic appointment and asking for a physio referral and fitting for a support belt. Some women find that they really help.
My other advice for SPD is to always try to keep your knees together when getting out of the car, getting out of bed etc to keep your pelvis as stable as possible. We do not under estimate SPD, it can be really excruiciating.
Ask them to check your blood count as well.
I think your body is telling you to rest up a bit and take things a bit easier, (easier said than done I know).
I hope you get your dp to realise that you need more support at the moment and that upsetting a hormonal, pregnant woman can seriously damage his health!

StateofConfusion · 15/11/2012 20:21

I had it mildly with my big two and get achy hips from time to time since having them, my gp said having two close together at a young age won't have helped much. But this evening it was a proper take my breath away pain like I'd had the middle of my pelvis just above my ehem, fanjo, smashed each step I took, we'd been to watch my little sister sing on stage at the christmas light switch on and I felt fine stood there but the short walk back to the car got worse step by step, sat down for a good hour at mums and now I'm just a bit achey when I move but it goes when I sit down. I'm going to make more of a conscious effort to keep my knees together, I did try before but will make sure I do now, luckily our cars flat in the front like a van, there's no dip/foot well as such and higher up than most so its easy to get in and out for me.

I'm going to talk to dp later on, his moods fizzling out, I still feel very emotional though and I need to hold it together or it won't go well.

Thanks shaky :)

I have ben and jerrys, a fluffy throw and new series of big bang theory and 2 broke girls, my day just improved :)

Tee2072 · 15/11/2012 21:32

What a crap night. My mom and I are having a fight via email as I put a thing on Twitter, which fed to FB, about LittleTee's teacher asking for a word and she's read this whole thing into it and apparently I'm the worst mother ever and god who knows any more.

Sorry things are great for you either State. I never had SPD, which is a miracle with my joints, but I hear it's horrible.

StateofConfusion · 15/11/2012 21:45

Oh tee social networking can cause such crap can't it! Littletee is a perfectly normal child, and you are NOT the worlds worst mother.

I've decided bed is the best place for me its warm its comfy and I really should go to sleep earlier.

I put the crib up today, since dp trashed the bedroom I figured I'd just get everything sorted. Its weird laying here looking at it, I can't imagine having a baby in there in the next month! I'm not sure if its because we don't know the sex so this wriggly little creature doesn't have an identity yet as such, or its the lingering fear of the mmc.

Anyway enough of my waffling on, how are you doing shaky? Xx

Shaky · 15/11/2012 22:52

I'm a bit fragile State to be honest. I have doubled my medication but still feel like shite. I'm so irritable and dp can't even breathe without me snapping at him. It's not his fault that I'm not so well but I can't help taking it out on him Sad.

There is no way I am fit for work yet.

I hate this depression, I just want to feel like me again. I feel like I have been stolen from myself and I can't find me again Sad.

The puddle is the only place on here that I can admit these things. Thank god for the puddle

Shaky · 15/11/2012 22:55

I tend to withdraw from everything when I'm not feeling well and it's not good.

If you ever notice that I'm absent from the puddle again please shout me back and kick my arse. This has been a real life line. I love the puddle!

Shaky · 15/11/2012 23:03

Hey Bonkey! You're famous again.
