Anyone fancy a moan?

[victoriassponge]

Can I just have a moan please? (feel free to join in)
Am due mid Sept (32 weeks) and hospital keep giving me extra scans only to tell me again that my baby is 'quite large' The consultant estimated 7.5lbs already this week.
The thing is they kept telling me that about DS1 a couple of years back and frankly I don't really know what I am supposed to do about it!
Am bloody huge already and feel like crap as I've had a cold for the last month which DH has now come down with (but obvs man flu is so much worse poor thing!).
Can't sleep at night due to blocked nose and coughing and to top it off have mild SPD - physio says to avoid walking and running - easier said than done with an active 2 year old to look after.
FFS!

Thank you victoriassponge for this thread

Firstly, I am extremely grateful to be pregnant, and to be having a baby- I am 32+3 weeks.

However, I HATE PREGNANCY!!! I feel like a disabled person, but without any of the sympathy. All my muscles ache, I still feel sick, my baby kicks are not sweet little things they hurt me instead, my nails have become brittle, my skin is greasy so I have acne, if I walk for more than 5 minutes my lower back feels like someone is sticking a screw driver in it, it is hard to sleep with baby kicking me at all hours, heart burn, peeing all the time, being all hormonal and wanting to kill everyone... the list goes on and on :(

And I am sick to death of people saying "but Hannah, you have the baby to look forward to"... WTF... why I am looking forward to be woken up every 2-3 hours for feeds and changing nappies. Sure I do these things as I love my child and would do anything for them, but that does not mean I enjoy it :(

Plus it is August... I should be on a beautiful summer holiday but instead I am stuck at home as I do not have the energy to do anything :(

and I have another 7 odd weeks to go :(

Rant over :)

AmyJane20- babies would not swallow a pill- I'm thinking of a baby sleeping spray that you spray on their face then they instantly fall asleep :)

My DS is also 16 months old- I must say being pregnant and having a child that age sure ain't easy :(

15 weeks and supposedly blooming so why have I got loads of spots and am tired all the time?

Also, the house is full of fruit and healthy snacks so why do I keep going for penguins and fruit pastilles? Actually, that probably explains the spots.

And do I really need to cry every time GB win a medal? I don't even care about dressage FGS.

Yes, I know, 15 weeks means I really don't have anything to moan about yet.

noblegiraffe - as a pregnant lady you have the right to moan for the entire 40 weeks, and to be honest a year after the baby is born too :)

Victoria - i had to guess where my bikini line was yesterday so i could shave it so im not going to bother shoving evening primrose up there.

Milk - i love you. I feel like that but with extra sweat now being thrown in.

Today im mostly feeling like my hips are going to snap.

Hi can I have a moan too ? It's a gorgeous day and my kids have had the dullest day ever - people coming this evening so I have spent my energy for the day cleaning - the dog hasn't been for a walk yet - the nursery isn't ready and my bag isn't packed and meanwhile the baby is playing with my sciatic nerve like a Harp and I am worried he is coming early - ecs next Thursday ! Feel better now thanks

milk - great idea!!! Why didn't I think of that!! Haha yea it is abit hectic although all worth it in the end! Suppose I should just be glad 16 month old isn't walking yet!!!

Im joining you all with a moan. This week has been terrible horrid horrid cold last weekend I couldnt sleep, breathe, stop my nose from running, sore throat, ear ache, headache the works. Then on wednesday most cold symptoms gone, terrible hip and back ache. An I have had what I think is my first ever migraine today. Im only 9 weeks and my 18month old is teething on and off. I really hope things improve last pg all I really suffered with was occasional back ache.

I truly believe women who are 6 months pregnant should get a temporary disabled parking ticket (valid for 6 months) as being pregnant and walking miles to get to the bloody supermarket sucks! My DH has to drop me by the front doors with DS then finds a parking space (He knows I might kill him if he suggested I walk :P)

Notgrownupinmyhead I hope your hips are feeling better today x

Montypig You are having a ECS on Thursday and you are stilling having friends over You are a saint! I'm not due for another 7 weeks and I'm already telling people to stay well away :P

AmyJane20 my 16mo isn't walking yet either... I bet he'll start the second DC2 is born :P

DeathMetalMum hugs I always find the first trimester mega hard! I hope your second trimester is better. My myself, the best weeks were weeks 19-30.

Thanks, Its not hurting as bad yet buy ive not moved much yet. But i have to go out the house in an hour so we'll see. I think we need mobility scooters to get around.

Notgrownupinmyhead - my 92 year old Gran has a mobility scooter, and to be honest I think I need it more than she does at the moment :P

Nans that age amaze me. Mines about that and is never bloody at home! We need their secret although i think its down to all the cake nanas seem to eat!

Notgrownupinmyhead - I think my Nan's old age is due to all her gossiping :)

OMG I went to the local shopping centre today- what a mistake that was.

1. After approx 10 minutes of walking around I was in agony.
2. Clothes shops are not as fun when there are mirrors everywhere and I am XXXL and a face filled with acne.
3. Although I have 7 weeks to go, I am so massive everyone assumes I am full term, so I get comments like "should you be shopping when you could go into labour any time?"

I wish there was something fun I could do :(

Me please! 7 weeks with dc 2 nausea horrific, so much worse than last time. Feel sick when I eat, after eating, when I get hungry, all food smells horrid, just been crying in kitchen, holding nose whilst trying to force feed myself digestive biscuits to stop me getting too hungry and feeling even worse if that's possible. Last time eating made me feel better, this time I can't decide if being hungry or wanting to puke up whatever I've just forced down is better. Weeks of this torture left to go too. Rubbish.

Feel slightly better reading this and knowing I'm not the only one feeling shit though. Hugs to all you ladies! xx

Jojo all i could manage then was Haribo. Ive got 4 weeks left today and the sickness came back a few weeks ago. Grrrrrrr.

Milk, that and fags and sherry! Although shes given up in the last few years. I love old people, they make me laugh.

With you on the 3rd trimester sickness.
I am 38 weeks 2nd week of maternity leave about to start and bored bored bored! Have seen friends but don't like straying to far from home and when I just try and sit and read start obsessing about baby movement and worrying something has gone wrong.
Have a bruised foot so can barely walk- I have a hobble and a waddle.
DP has a toothache and is feeling sorry for himself so not doing the sorting I want him too! Frustrated I can't do it myself.
And Various people (inc my mum) when I mention any negative emotions at all remind me I wanted this. I know and after years of IF and miscarriages I am v v v grateful to be pregnant but am just fed up and still scared something might go wrong so can't get too excited until a healthy baby is here.

I'm lying on my bed 34 weeks knee strapped cos it hurts so much. Feeling sick cos whole fam have come down with bug, huge (but seriously huge) this is my 4th pregnancy in the past 3 years. So feel like I've been constantly pregnant forever. I have a 12 month old who has turned into a monster. Get NO sympathy from dh. want to cry

Notgrownup - not tried haribo, but willing to give anything a go. Managed one of dc1's fruit pastille ice lollies this aft without any bad side effects, success! feel for you and janee on the 3rd trimester sickness - that's really not fair!

Sarahmia, 4 in 3 years, you brave thing - sympathy from me! X

Second or third weekend in a row where I feel like we have done NOTHING due to me being knackered and MS being randomly worse at the weekends.

I feel like it has been such a waste, we were talking about going to the zoo (just me and OH, I am 10wks with PFB) but no way that could happen.

I don't want to go to work tomorrow, I just want to sleep, but I am knackered but not sleepy, so just arsey and bored instead.

I am doing my own head in!!!

And my washing up has not magically done itself while I was out.............

Tiredness like being hit like a train. This morning threw up in my car on way to work. Have felt sick since 6 weeks, now 15 weeks. People keep saying I'm glowing, the hint of green in my skin must be really flattering

Forgot to add 2 day headache. Someone give me a slap for gods sake.

15 weeks here. Keep telling myself and others that it's so much better since week 12 but i dunno- still achingly tired. Still feel sick when at a restaurant or having to sit still for a while and eat. Fat but not obviously pg to others. Zits all over cheeks. House dusty and kitchen/bathroom need scrubbing but DH not taking hints. Full time work in crazy phase of project with 2 hours of commuting every day and unwritten exprctations of extra work at weekends and evenings. Heat like you wouldn't believe (washington dc). And I'm getting no paid maternity leave. So that's no holidays for us now and for another year.

Is the only comfy position lay on your side? My boney arse hurts when i sit on it and my fanjo hurts if i lean forward a bit.

Eviction process will start at 38 weeks.

12 weeks here and can barely keep my eyes open 90% of the day.

none of my normal clothes fit anymore and too small for maternity clothes with it only being early days so in over large normal person clothes and looking rediculous.

Boobs have gone up massively in the last three weeks but as only have a small back they dont do big enough cup sizes in small enough back sizes and have spent hours trawling the internet and roaming round shops (M/care, M&S, ASDA, La Senza etc) when completely shattered and getting nowhere.

Finally found three that fit online and cost a small fortune each but that has got to be better than wearing bikini tops underneath your shirt to work and avoiding going down steps at all costs due to the shotting pains.

tired, achey, sick of hearing "that its only going to worse" and I should enjoy it whilst to going is good.

husband not got a clue that the washing/cleaning/dishwasher/day walking etc aren't going to do themselves and has taken a small miracle to get the house back to something like normal this weekend whislt holding back the sleepy eyes :(

If I could just curl up on my sofa or in bed for the next 6 months that would be wonderful !
