Come on in for a moan

[Orenishii]

There was a moaning thread - there were several I think - but I went back quite a few pages and can't see them. So a new one to come and moan, stamp feet, scream and scream, eat worms, whatever!

I'm very hot and bothered
I'm only 34 weeks and suddenly, inexplicably impatient for labour to start (WTF?)
People at work have made me cry
I hate work
I am so tired I have cried
It's hot
I have to go to the shop but it's uphill, hot and I am tired
I HATE YOU, WORK
My tailbone hurts
Stupid people at stupid work are stupid
The midwife was meaning to be reassuring today when she said "you're only 34 weeks, you're not going into labour anytime soon" but I wanted to cry with agonising jealousy at all the women who are
I now walk like I am crippled in my back or something
I'm hot
My back hurts

WOW - biggest moan I've ever had, I think!

Oh I like these threads. They're quite therapeutic in a funny way, everyone else is fed up with listening to me moan...

I'm walking like a cowboy who's lost his horse.
I feel like I have a bowling ball made of concrete and lead sat in my pelvis.
I dread going to bed at night because I know I'll wake up and cry when I have to move.
I have to pee every half hour because baby is break dancing on my bladder.
I'm fed up with having to pee into sample pots.
Heartburn sucks.
I have an irritable uterus. I'm guessing it feels much the same way as I do

I've had that 'would like to give birth now' feeling since about 34 weeks, as well. I know it's irrational and every day baby stays in there the better, but I really, really want it to be over. I'm 36+1 today and wishing time away to 37 weeks when I'll be classed as full term and in the 'any day now' camp.

I'm only at 8 weeks but
I feel sick constantly
I burp/fart constantly
I cry all the time
I am miserable about fecking everything
Sex drive is in over drive but too nauseous to do anything about it
My boobs hurt if I so much as turn over in bed
Chocolate makes me sick

I'm sure it wasn't this bad the first time around then I was just sick everytime I ate!

I'm with you. 37 weeks and wanted this one out since about 34 weeks too!

I'm not working so really shouldn't complain but here goes.

I can stand for more than 5 mins without my feet swelling to the size of an elephants.
I slept for about an hour last night because my back hurt so much.
I keep getting random contractions, get very excited then they stop.
I can no longer walk like a normal person, it is full blown waddle all round.
Everything aches, including my lady bits as baby is so heavy and low.
I feel like I'm going to puke even bending over.
I actually cried when someone said 'don't worry only 3 weeks left'. I can't do 3 weeks, let alone 4 1/2 if I go over due.
I want LO out but am also very scared as I'm 5'3 and quite small and baby measured on 97th centile of size last week, estimated to weigh 7.5lbs already. Doc gleefully said I was looking at a 10lb-er if I went over term.

Baby get out!!!!

Oh sparklekitty I am measuring big too! I'm 5ft 2 and ready to kill my in laws every time they cheerfully say "we have BIG babies!"

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU HAVE; MY FAMILY ARE IN ON THIS TOO AND WE HAVE SMALL BABIES!! I WAS A SIX POUNDER I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW!!

Is what I would like to scream at them.

34 weeks, measuring 36 cm. What does this actually mean??

To everyone else on this thread, let's all wallow in some mud like the great big hippos it's feels like we are!

Oh I'm also measuring about the 90th centile. I'm 5'3 and when MW measured me today and I actually fell below the 90th (measuring 36 at 36, as opposed to 2 weeks ahead) she decided I need to go for a growth scan. My hopeful response was 'maybe she's just grown enough already and she doesn't need to do any more...?'

Apparently it doesn't work like that... Shame!

What so even though you've been measuring at the top end, the fact she hasn't grown recently is a problem?

GAHH.

I'll moan!

I'm sure later on I'll be up for a full-on tantrum but at the moment I'm just wishing I'd said;

"I have been having babies as an obese woman far longer than you've been a practicing obstetrician you silly little boy. In fact, I could even have prepared you for Biology/chemistry A Levels and medical school interviews. Be VERY careful how you speak to me!"

I settled for "That sounds really rather alarmist and excessive is your consultant available?"

Well going by the chart thing they've stuck in my notes, had I carried on growing at the rate of the curve they've plotted so far, I'd be set to have a 9lb+ baby by 40 weeks. The point plotted today would suggest she's already at about 7lb(ish) at 36 weeks... To me it seemed feasible that the growth had naturally tailed off, but obviously I actually have no idea :o

To be honest I'm not entirely convinced on the accuracy of these measurements, so I'm barely with holding any panic about the size until I've had the scan, which I've been informed is much more accurate.

Hope you're ok, struggling - nobody needs an alarmist knob jockey when they're stressed and irate already!

I really to moan - this is my kind of thread. My DH is fed up of seeing my miserable face and doesn't want to hear it any more.....

I am 28 weeks and don't need to hear "oh you're very big" from anyone else absolutely dreading school run tomorrow and seeing one particular passive aggressive bitch
My left nipple is so itchy I've taken to rubbing it with a hair brush
I am being a terrible mother to my poor poor blameless DCs: the guilt / anger / guilt / anger cycle is making me want to cry
I am either crippled by night cramps in my calf or pelvic pain when I try and turn over and I'm so bloody tired but toddler waking up at crack of dawn
arghhhhhhhh what have I done I can't cope!!!
Labour anxiety has already started
I look stupid in everything I wear having already gained a tonne.

AND it's getting hot again - Nooooooooooooooooooooo.

I'm carrying DC3 very low and I feel like I'm walking with a melon between my legs.
Struggling I know exactly what you mean.

I'm 41 weeks.
Due to be induced next Tuesday.
My mum has chemotherapy that day.
My parents are due to go away for 8 nights the Sunday after my induction.
I want my mummy.
I don't want to be induced.
I can't sleep.
Everything is uncomfortable.
I'm bored.
I'm exhausted.
I'm terrified.

I'm 37 w on Friday and if I carry on typing you'd wish you'd never started this thread

for frilly

Sorry to hear about your mum

Thanks Giraffe, much appreciated

Ladies....I'm so with you. Im 32 weeks, Here's my moan....

I'm so hot all the time
I can't walk up the 3 flights of stairs to my office anymore without overheating further and sounding like I've run a marathon
I'm so uncomfortable at night - my lady bits feel so bruised that turning over in bed is just awful
My lady bits are generally really painful
I can't do anything or go anywhere in a hurry
I eat = I get indigestion
If someone makes one more prediction as to the sex of my baby through how high/ big etc I am, I will punch them
If someone asks me one more time if I'm going to breast feed, I will punch them
I think I will still be wearing shorts and flip flops in October

......and breathe. Thanks for listening!! Xxx

frilly sorry to hear about your mum :(

I am angry at my dinner.

Go for it Pickles! I have extreme jealousy at your week length so it can't be any worse than that

Awk frilly your still waiting.. Your pains not come to anything then?

Okay here's my moan...

-I'm 40 +1 day and desperate to meet my son!
-I'm hot all the time
-My back is sore all the time
-I've had loads of Bh all weekend and then on due date nothing! Grr
-My little sister had her baby near 2 weeks ago and I want mine!
-I've heartburn and its pissing me off!
-When I walk I feel like I have a bowling ball between my legs
-Im dreading bedtime as I can't move once I lie down, and it's agony to roll over.
-My dog constantly jumps up on me and it hurts
-My kitchen is being re-tiled floor and walls and I'm not allowed into it
-I have to pee ALL the time
-I'm so bloody uncomfortable and no matter whether Im sitting or lying down I can't get comfy.
-I don't see my Mw until Friday which means I'll be 4 days over.
-I'm measuring smaller than I'm supposed to be, so I doubt they'll be in a hurry to get baby out even though I am
-Im having loads of pains and cramps now and I just want my labour to start.

Hi Rachel! Stupid pains...still getting them. Bleugh.

biscuits all round for all and everyone.

My mini moan, I'm only 11+4 so feel a fraud for complaining.... BUT...
-ear infection for 3.5 weeks - inflamed and oozing green (sorry tmi!)
-DH isn't sure if I'm a monster or a mess
-the hovis ad makes me cry
-I burp and fart at regular intervals
-I've been signed off work for a week with various complaints including exhaustion - yes this should be marvellous but I'm struggling with my own company
-12 week scan tmrw and irrationally terrified.

See - nothing to moan about really...

You're not a fraud if you're pregnant and need a moan! Good luck with your scan today :)

My epic bad mood and continuing disappointment....continues:

Clothes are an irritatingly necessary evil right now
I sweat constantly
I am damp constantly - sorry if that's TMI but it's not even like I am sneezing.
I've had stomach ache on top of the bump for two days and I've had period pains in waves for two days, and I can't help but wonder if it's down to the raspberry leaf capsules/tea I've been necking
Neither of those two things are related to the possibility of going into labour, as my MW so reassuringly told me.
I was irritated by being reassured, as within 24 hours I have become obsessed with wanting to be in labour
Whilst I don't have high blood pressure, it's high enough to warrant having to go and have it checked again next week, and the week after. Maybe if it actually effing cooled down, that would help??

Oh this is just what I need. I'm in a foul mood today:

Work fucking me right off
Silly rude clients getting on my tits
Patience generally wearing thin
So over tired I could cry
Maternity clothes barely fit anymore
Seem to have developed skin tag on my god damn fanny! Great.
Feeling sick on and off again
No energy to keep on top of housework

I could go on. Bad day mefinks. Hoping I'll be a nicer person when I finish work next Friday.

34+3

On a positive note I'm excited to meet my baby and I know it'll all be worth it.

OK, I'll play.

I thought my all-day morning sickness/ severe vomiting ended at 17 weeks. I'm 21 weeks and it returned today with a vengeance. I ruined an outfit and spent a good long time in the loo.

me, me, me!!

My SPD has got bad enough for the physio to try to persuade me to use crutches
My SPD may not go away after the birth, just like last time (when it got worse)
DS screamed all evening until DH got home and then was an angel
I also feel like I have a lead/concrete bowling ball settled into my pelvis, making me walk like John Wayne
I am FAT. I have put on SO MUCH WEIGHT. And I can't stop eating! To the point where today I messed up a crumble topping and ended up eating some flour & oats mixed with sugar and butter! That is rank!
I don't know if I'm more miserable being pg or more terrified of the imminent life-change that having this baby entails.
Did I mention I'm FAT.
I can't sleep at night because of a perfect storm of agonising pelvis and racing mind. Oh and bladder, of course. Oh, and baby hiccupping ALL NIGHT.

waahhhh

I'm bruising for a fight but DH just won't pick one with me

I'm 40+5. Was desperate to set labour off so went for a walk, fell over and fractured my foot. :(
Now got massive heavy plaster on my foot and would rather delay labour until my foot stops hurting!
Am thankfully have only gained just over a stone as am having to hop around using a zimmer frame and climb up the stairs on my bruised knees. Arms and shoulders are aching so badly and am getting exhausted trying to get around.
Am hoping to get a lighter plaster tomorrow though. Fingers crossed!!!

Aside from this heartburn has been terrible.
