I'm in so much pain its unreal!!

On Thursday I had an attack of the runs after a takeaway,since then I've had one massive and immensely painful pile. It's very hard and making life very difficult!

I can sit down ok but its hurting when I move and I'm laying down, I've got some cream but its not making a blind bit of difference tbh. I've been putting it on as instructed and having a shower every morning as its smelling!!

I've just been to the toilet again and its bled. What can I do to make tpain from it woke me up last night and my oh is getting sick of being woken up by me tossing and turning, as well as the snoring, night terrors and restless legs that pregnancy had brought on!

Is there anything I can do for the pain or any natural remedies that I can see if I can get my hands on to try and help??

It really upsets me too the way one is favoured over the other. Its as if she is the son my brother wasn't/her and step dad never had. Anyway ill only get all hormonal if i go on about it.

The NHS pee me off with all this picking and choosing, ops like that shouldn't just be for the older person. In the long run doing the op now would save them money. DH needs a rod put in his back but like you doesn't like being laid up but he is undergoing redundancy consultations at work. The drs dont want him to work full stop but hes stubborn and wants to for as long as he can.

I can smell horse poo outside.

We've just ended up getting burgers an kebabs! It was needed.

Well, ive sorted the cubby out under the stairs and moved the stuff out of our room.

Loads of moths av come to haunt me in the kitchen. Feckers.

Orf to sleeps methinks.

ithastobeNAICEham · 02/09/2012 11:55

I've given up getting takeaways as everytime I do I get bloody food poisoning!! I got food poisoning from a veggie pizza the other week!

Baby has got hiccups again, my bump is shaking!

I do miss working but finding a job I can do and that fits in around school etc is easier said than done atm, I worked from dd being 2 til she was 5, I did get another job after but they didn't pay me, I ended up taking them to court to get what I was owed! It was a nightmare time!

Well today is officially a lazy day, im nit even showered and dressed yet. I've got a pile of washing to do but just cba!! I'm hoping no one comes round today! I look like a slattern! My OH is on the PS3 and dd is reading. I need to get dressed soon though, need to go get spuds for Sunday dinner!

I spend 6 out of 7 days in me jammies anyway Grin

We picked the boy up and went to Mc D's any my favourite shop - Poundland. I only got some snacks for hospital. Then spent the rest of the day bouncing on the ball and washing.

My Dads been riddled with Arthritis and ended up with his ankles bolted in one position and his knees are bad too. Im getting his knees. Have you had alot more pain in your hip since you got pg?

Were just cooking tea now.

House still is a shite tip Grin

ithastobeNAICEham · 02/09/2012 22:33

Ooh I love macdonalds!! The pound shops near me are brilliant, I love them! I'm going in on Thursday to get my snacks (if I last that long, I've had some killer Braxtons today and my cervix has come down too!!) What snacks did you get? I'm thinking of getting some boiled sweets and some chocolate!

I didn't get dressed until 2, I can't spend a full day I'm my jammies, I have to get out and at least down to the shop or I feel likeiI'm going mad!! Dd got dressed at 11 as she wanted to!

Had some friends pop in on us to see how we were, dd then spent most of her time playing with their two dds and the neice of my ndn, she adores my dd, she's only 3 or 4 and is always at my door!! It's really cute!

My hip hasn't been too bad during the pg but I've not put on much weight, only 1stone 5lb so far, ive kept as active as humanly possible too so its helped, I've been going swimming and walking the dogs when I've had a good day, plus I know my limitations and try not to push myself too hard!!

Oh god, dd is talking to herself in her sleep again!

OP posts:
Notgrownupinmyhead · 03/09/2012 20:46

Thats about the same weight gain as me! I got chewy sweets, flapjacks and some of those cheesey nibble biscuit things.

My maternity clothes arent really comfy so if im not going out i stay in my jamas.

Ive spent all day washing and drying clothes and ive not finished. Not doing anymore til 2moro.

Ive not really had any big bh just lots of moving and pains in my back.

Ooh, you could be in hospital now! Wink

ithastobeNAICEham · 04/09/2012 10:04

Nope, still here I wish this baby would hurry up!

Dd's first day back at school and we've already had tears! Apparently her shirts didn't fit her right and had frills (she is wearing an age 7 shirt as they didn't haveanany age 8 but the shirts ate big and she has a short body anyway so the fit her fine) and her jumper was too big, seriously, the child is like a bloody teenager!!

My dad was meant to be putting some money in my account today and hasn't done so I'm skint! I'm hoping he does it later on so I can waddle down to the fish and chip shop Grin I have cravings!!

I've got loads of washing to do today too, got some new fabric conditioner but I don't like the smell of it and so i have to get some other stuff when I go shopping next!

Loads of back pains here, plus bh and period type pains, I'm hoping this means its getting close!! Not having another feel as I must have caught myself on Saturday night 'up there' as I had some spotting! Must trim the nails before labour!

OP posts:
Notgrownupinmyhead · 04/09/2012 12:44

Ha ha we've just had the im not wearing that argument. Tough little man. Hes long and thin and have really had to take his pants in at the waist Grin

We were up til gone 3ish with ds2 and his teeths bless him. He ended up watching Blackadder for a bit til the Calpol kicked in.

You'll pop before me definitely, I'm not really having bh but get back ache at night when in bed.

I can barely eat, the hb is bad and Gaviscon isnt helping for more than about half an hour at a time. Grr.

Got the mw in the morning and dh is back at the dr's again. Hes just tried to get his physio appt booked and they'll not try and accommodate for a day when he is off work.

Ive gone back to bed for a bit whilst fatty bum bum is having his sleep.

Mmmmmmmm chips......

ithastobeNAICEham · 04/09/2012 23:56

Ask at the chemist for renatadine, it's what I'm taking as gaviscon made me sick, its a tablet and it starts working after a few mins. It's good too!

Just as I had pressed send on my last post, my dad text me!! I got my chips!!

I think having a sleep today has meant I'm now awake :( this is not a good thing!! I'm gonna be shattered in the morning!

I hate the teething stage, feel so sorry for them. On the other hand, blackadder is a good choice, quite clearly the baby has taste!!

Barely any bh this afternoon, ve walked loads today and done as much as I can but its not done anything. I'm hoping the mw will see sense and give me a sweep when I see her next week!!

Sleep time me thinks!

OP posts:
ithastobeNAICEham · 05/09/2012 00:00

Forgot to add, I hope your dh gets sorted with his physio, I know what it can be like trying to get appts to suit n if the receptionist is feeling that way out, its hell! Try again tomorrow and hopefully you'll be able to get one to suit!! Fx for you!

OP posts:
Notgrownupinmyhead · 05/09/2012 11:28

The drs fooked up again so blood tests next week. Hes complaining about the appt system. Hes got allsorts wrong with him and is just getting messed about.

Just got back from me and head snot engaged yet. Sad

Must try harder!!

Ill get on the ball later Sad

ithastobeNAICEham · 06/09/2012 12:15

They fooked up my results on my pg blood tests too, I was anemic and didn't know! Explains the tiredness too!

Mine is only just engaged, she is still highbut they say they can stay up until labour kicks in with the second so I'm taking that as a good sign!

Playing fetch with the pooch and having small contractions! They've been going on for days but not developing into anything :( Ive walked around town today so I'm hoping that's gonna start something more substantial!

Mw on weds to ask for a sweep and to talk about induction. I really want this to happen naturally this time! I don't want to be stuck in hospital for days on end!

OP posts:
Notgrownupinmyhead · 06/09/2012 16:53

I really dont want an induction either. My neighbour gave me some castor oil before it was like eating lipstick! Its not done anything though.

Had lots of pressure in my bum and fanj in bed and it was really weird. Went for a walk today and it didn't do owt either.

Were destined for induction aren't we both?

ithastobeNAICEham · 07/09/2012 10:49

Quite bloody possible!! My oh has it in hid head that I'm in slow labour due to the amount of pains I'm having but I very much doubt it!

I've been given some castor oil by my sil mum but I won't be using it (i tried it with dd and still vividly remember the vomiting and shutting at the same time pretty much straight after taking it!!) I refuse to take it again!

I've had some pressure at really weird times too, like on a night when I'm laid in bed or when I'm zoned out on the sofa and the pressue wakes me up!!

Im making a curry and chips (my oh says I can't make rice, mine always turns to sticky rice and he doesn't like it that way) but I had spicy pork with chilli roasties yesterday and I'm beggining to think spicy food isn't going to work!!

OP posts:
Notgrownupinmyhead · 07/09/2012 11:23

Put the rice in a veg steamer, its the only way i can cook it. Wink

Castor oil didnt work, ive not even had a poop! I do have a bit of bump ache today though. It went hard yesterday but feels normal today. I had in total a soup spoon full of the oil so it probably wasn't enough to do anything but ill not be taking anymore after reading stories about it!

How are you feeling?

I could really eat some pate on toast too. Lots of it!!

Notgrownupinmyhead · 07/09/2012 11:24

Did the castor oil work or just make you feel ill then still went over?

ithastobeNAICEham · 07/09/2012 17:43

I had a spoonful too, I still went over.

I'm thinking of getting a steamer so if I do. I shall have to start doing it in that!!

Doing homework with dd, I forgot how annoying this can be! I'm finding stress relief on mn!!

I've downloaded a contraction counter type app on my phone, I'm counting them now. They aren't strong enough or long enough apparently :( plus they are 2 hours apart still!

My leg keeps going dead!! Well, its better than it randomly kicking out!

OP posts:
Notgrownupinmyhead · 07/09/2012 18:54

I downloaded a kick counter today. Probably will forget to use it!!

Ive been bouncing on the ball on and off this aft so shall carry on with it! I also need to hoover all the pigging spiders that are in every room of the house!! Arghhh!!!!!!!!

Steaming rice is the way forward!!

Just put baby to bed and about to tuck into some jelly and scream.

Thank fook we aint got long left....

ithastobeNAICEham · 07/09/2012 21:42

I had the kick counter and forgot to use it!! I'll probably end up forgetting about the contraction timer eventually, its not something you think about when you're in labour is it!?!? Grin

I had a double decker two pack after my tea, I needed chocolate!!

I know! Isn't it your due date today?? I can't remember what date you said now!

OP posts:
Notgrownupinmyhead · 08/09/2012 09:12

Its 2moro. Angry

Mmmm double deckers. Fit.

Ive just woke and not rolled over yet, its gonna hurt!! Small and round is letting me know hes hungry and wants attention i can hear him.

Theres a medieval fare on today so we might have a drive to Warrington for it. We do need to clean the kitchen and bathroom again though first though.

How are your joints?

ithastobeNAICEham · 08/09/2012 09:38

My back pains are getting worse, I've had to take some pain killers, my joints aren't really bothering me atm, its my back. I'm calling the doctors on Monday as I fear I may have a uti but no pain when I go yet.

My dd is sitting down to her breakfast now, I was woken up this morning by kids screaming at 8 am!! Grr

Think its going to be a day of cleaning here, I might have to get on and do what I need to do before baby arrives and then I can just relax a bit. Well, as much as I can!!

OP posts:
Notgrownupinmyhead · 08/09/2012 13:15

Do you have a tens machine?

Im trying to motivate myself to clean up again the house is mingin again and the dog pissed all over the kitchen floor this morning after waking us up at 4am!!!!

Grumblefuck.

ithastobeNAICEham · 08/09/2012 22:41

the tens doesn't do anything for me, otherthan make me feel irratayed!!
Mine used to be able to get out of the kitchen and wake everyone up at stupid time too, I turned the handle on the Dior round so now it goes up iyswim, little cow can't do it now!!

I got Fook all done today!! Had a burst of energy about 11 ish and got the bath done, then I sat down.... Bad move!

Ah well, I'll try get some done tomorrow!! Did you go to Warrington??

OP posts:
Notgrownupinmyhead · 09/09/2012 12:14

Nope. We stayed in and terrorised the boys. Grin

Im getting kicked in the cervix and its making wee come out!!

Ds1 does his mornings 2moro and that is going to kill me having to get up at 7ish.

Dh has had to tens his shoulder for the day today, hes got lower lumbar degeneration but its starting to affect his shoulder and arm now so we're doing stuff in bits so cleaning is taking an age.

I am going to weed my flower bed and hang out more fecking washing. I cant understand where it is appearing from!! The underwires out of one of me bras had both come out in it the other day and i thought the washer had broke all the noise it was making.

ithastobeNAICEham · 09/09/2012 16:58

Mine is enjoying my ribs!! It's doing my head in!

I know what you mean about washing, there is only me, oh and dd in this house, you you wouldn't have thought it from theamount of washing there is to do! I'm dreading this baby as I know she's gonna create a massive pile all by herself!

I've just been for an afternoon snooze, I really haven't been sleeping well and keep waking up for no reason! Ah well, practice for when baby decides to put in an appearance!

I should be making pork chops for tea, can't be arsed making roasties though, might have to make chips with it Grin

OP posts:
Notgrownupinmyhead · 09/09/2012 18:06

Yep. Ive been doing all kinds of potato things with our teas this week. Cba!!

I think hes dropped, i cant put my legs together and im sat on the floor in the babies room and cant put my thighs together.

I weeded and crushed cardboard by stomping so we'll wait and see later.

Ive not been sleeping great either, waking every hour ti turn over in a 4 point turn fashion!!

Its bath and bed time for the current small thing then the fight shall commence in an hour with the skinny one. He is going to hate me in the morning when I wake him at 7am. Ha. He said he was going to kick my arse last night whilst in the throes if bedtime tantrum. I nearly hurt myself trying not to laugh Grin
