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!

• thankful

Me please! I'm 38 weeks with no.3.
DS1 started reception yesterday - v emotional, me, he is fine.
Back aches
Feet ache
Ankles ache.
Even the backs of my knees ache
Car has broken down
PIL (massive support and help, esp when car-less) go away at the weekend.
Baby is partially engaged and bloody painful
Have been have period-like pains on and off for days
Not in any way ready to go into labour despite this being #3!
SPD making me feel like I've been repeatedly kicked in the fanjo.
Evil heartburn...
I'll stop there

I have "the rage" today. Just had an argument with DH about what to pay a babysitter which ended with me saying "I don't want to fucking go out now anyway"

Gah.

Oh, I'll join in with a vengeance!

37 plus 3 here. DC3. Horrible pregnancy-aggravated asthma has me on my nebulizer 3 x a day (and I'm intermittently on steroids when I feel I need them, which I feel guilty about, but I think not breathing is probably worse for the baby...). Heartburn. Restless leg. No sleeping.... Feel bloody, bloody tired, faint, dizzy.

And to top it off I feel like everyone else is just carrying on in their merry way regardless: My mum flew in yesterday to help me - which is, if course, lovely - (we live in Northern CA) except she flew in to LAX to get arimile points, and is spending today leisurely driving up Route One and admiring the scenery Bridget-Jones-style, I imagine . I just wish she were here already!

And DH is flying to Maine tomorrow for 5 days to attend his brother's wedding. I have heard one single comment from his side of the family (which I know was dragged out of them at DH's behest, cos we'd just had a row about it) that 'it might be a bit stressful for you to have him gone right now.' YOU THINK?! Lots of crap from them about how they 'hope the baby won't come early' - well, FECKIN' IDIOTS 37 weeks plus is TERM if the baby came now it wouldn't be EARLY would it?! They just want to feel better that he's going. God, I hate the whole blink' lot of them...

And breathe

Daughter starts nursery tomorrow. Know I will burst into tears.
Irritable uterus is giving me on/off contractions - but not enough to actually do anything - and I'm really uncomfortable with it.
Baby is also partially engaged and I sympathise - it hurts like feck!
And I'm very excited and slightly jealous that someone the exact same dates as me from the due date thread went into labour today, which gave me some hope it might be sooner rather than later.
I appear to have a bladder the size of a peanut.

CH - what is irritable uterus? In a bad mood? Not slept enough lately? What?

Will it go away after delivery?

Can I have a rant please?

Due on Sunday. Mother had asked every fucking week all year when I was due and she still books a holiday. Oh i forgot she said. Shes meant to be looking after the boys.

DS1 is being a right brat constantly hitting his baby brother and generally misbehaving.

My pelvis cracks and it makes me want to cry when i turn over at night. Im waking ever hour to wee too.

I want my womb back. Now would be nice please. But hes showing no signs of wanting out.

I tidy up and they all trash it.

Gaviscon is wank.

40+2 here.
SPD, so walking like I've shat myself
Baby feels like it's trying to come out my belly button- not engaged, twisting and punching all over the place
Zero appetite
Greasy hair
You know what I hate the most? I have a spotty bum :( Pregnancy always gives me a spotty bum and I HATE it, I want to have a pool birth and I am so conscious of the fact my bum looks like a teenage boys cheeks! AAAAGGHH

Oh yes, still mainlining Gaviscon here too.

I am 41 weeks today. For the last 3 nights i have had 'early' labour which starts about now and builds up to contractions every 9 mins for 35 seconds and then just stops at 8am. So in the daytime i am exhausted. Today i have drank hot chocolate and eaten a whole packet of biscuits. I feel like a blob. I can't bend down.

And oooh there we go, just like clockwork, just had a contraction.

I have called and left messages for my midwife about organising a sweep. This is my 1st baby so i just don't know what to do.

Me AGAIN! 40+2 today, been having lots of pains, with a lot of pressure between the legs! But nothing else happening! :( also tonight I feel so so sick and feel like I'm going to vomit all the time.

But gonna try a curry tonight in the hope it helps :)

Well I rather imagine it to have a right grump on, and be swearing at people in a similar fashion to a drunk in the street. She was rather vague about it, but apparently its what causes my contractions if I overdo it or poke the belly too much. I tried telling it jokes to cheer it up, nobody wants a miserable uterus. Didn't work though.

Really feel for you overdue ladies, its highly unpleasant.

Hetty if your uterus is anything like mine it'll probably cheer up if you feed it copious amounts of lard in the form of chocolate. Mine has a hopeless sense of humour too.

I've been ridiculously upbeat so far through all of this, but today I'm having a blip. Am 15w and woke up this morning to yet another bleed. H is away, so I've got to sit at home and try and decide whether or not it is worth driving to epu for yet another scan, and I don't want to have to deal with this any more. It's been a sh*t year, H had an affair, I was half way through a divorce when I discovered I was pregnant, I lost the twin, and have had a lot of bleeding with the remaining baby. I want life to give me a break, and something nice to happen. I know that in the grand scheme of things my life is good, but this morning I'm just plain miserable.

Hurrah!!! Perfect timing Orenishii! :o

35+6, planned CS at 38+4...

Have barely slept last 2 nights due to a) random waking (hormones?) all through night b) hip pain c) agony in bump when rolling over.

My pelvis feels like it's coming apart and my back aches low down.

I am on iron tablets and my poops are becoming something I could sell to a maker of low budget horror movies.

Heartburn.

Giant spiders roaming the house!!! The basstads are everywhere I tell ya!!!

I have GD and can't even console myself with lovely Someone on another thread said they were going for coffee and cake this morning and I wanted to stab them through the heart. Oatcake anyone?

The sun has just gone in and the sky is all cloudy. I am irrationally at this. Just had to put the heating on. Even the weather gods are out to get me.

Waiting for a nob-nobbering nobber of a workman to turn up and finish a job. He just phoned to say he won't be here till 3. I managed not to snigger and say "What, like 3pm on Tuesday when you were supposed to be here? Do you have a time machine?" Also DH paid him in full IN ADVANCE like WTAF?! No wonder he hasn't sodding turned up. I tried to huff with DH last night (I am a remarkably poor huffer, it takes me a lot of effort and I get overexcited and talk and forget that I'm huffing ), then ruined the effect by making him lovely omelette for breakfast this morning. I think I'm going a bit mental

Ahhhhh, feels good releasing the bile :o :o :o And breathes...

Seriously though, Frilly sending good vibes to your mum and to you. And to people with real problems and people who are just at the end of their rope!!!

Panic sorry I missed your post, and seriously for you. That is shit! :( Definitely worth going to EPU if you can face it. Hope you are getting some handholding over in Relationships too - you have a lot on your plate.

Hope everything's ok Panic
Had a sweep today. MW was lovely, said there was NOTHING happening at all, cervix completely shut, not a sausage :( Fucksticks.

Thanks guys . I've cheered up, as the bleed turned out to be a small one that stopped quickly, so I'm no longer worried. Just one of those things. And the sun is shining. I'm feeling lucky again!

Hooray, panic, and for you. Sounds like you're really having a properly shit time

peerie cervix softening vibes your way. Apparently dates are good....??! And sadly not the restaurant/wine kind; the dried fruit that looks like a turd kind.

38 weeks here, shattered and feeling the need to rant

So far today I've been asked the most annoying question on the face of the planet "haven't you had that baby yet"? Grrrrrrrrr, no I bloody well haven't, or is the massive bump not enough of a give away?? Idiots!

I'm so tired and that might have something to do with the fact that the doctors have fucked up my bloods and I'm actually anemic and didn't know! It's only because I've had bloods taken by my doctors for an unrelated matter that I've found out!

I've been having period pains, bh and contractions for days now and its not developing into anything bloody helpful, like labour. Despite me spending hours bouncing on a ball, walking round town all morning and having curry for lunch and sex this afternoon, all that seems to have done is stopped everything!!

I'm DYING for a slice of toast with pate on it but my OH is like the food police and he refuses to let me get some!!

I need this baby out now! Everyone else who was due around the same time as me has had thiers now and my friend, who was due on the 20th has just sent me a birth announcement text. I'm going to go cry now
:(

Feel a bit better though!!

Haha can I join too?

I ve been a miserable get all week, I m 35 weeks tommorrow. The world and his dog feel obliged to tell me how enormous my bump is and look shocked when I say I m due for 5 weeks. Even another pregnant woman on school run said I looked big for my dates and said she was having a really easy pregnancy and she felt sorry for me!!!
My sciatica keeps flaring up and with that and spd I m struggling to even walk 5 mins down road for school run.
Mat clothes no longer fit
Wish the weather would cool down, sick of feeling hot and sweaty all the time.
Sick of reading about I should be walking and keeping active, I would if i could walk further than a few metres without feeling like someone was stabbing me down below.
Midwife made a joke about my pnd with dc1, she remembered me and said she was glad dc1 was still alive!!! Was very angry!!!

Oh my turnwest that's an awful thing for her to say!

I've been up since five am with various ailments:

A random, ambiguous stomach ache
Intense thirst
Sore feet
Unable to breathe
Sore fingers that feel like they've been doing push ups or punching or something
Generally uncomfortable and irritated.

DH found me digging in the freezer trying to get ice cubes out of a bag that he all frozen together. I've now had 3 pints of ice water and feel marginally better.

Sending massive hugs to Aliglobetrek Poor you :(

turnwest what a stupid, stupid thing for your midwife to say God I've met some crap midwives but she takes the . I saw a physio for my SPD on Wed and she said don't try to keep active - rest as much as possible with SPD (not sure she's ever had a toddler to look after ). Then I went to see my osteopath and he made it feel so much better....I'd recommend a good osteo who knows about SPD if you can find/afford one. I'd sell my chocolate for my osteo sessions, and that's saying something.

Oh yes, school run started again yesterday and if one more person had said to me 'you haven't had that baby yet then!' I think I'd have had an irrational fit of temper. No, I fucking haven't had it yet. What gave it away? The limping? The inability to stand up for longer than 5 minutes without leaning on something? Or just the huge fucking bump I've still got

I know they mean well but geez... Not helpful!

Going to have to resort to using the crutches again for school runs next week. 'Rest' is not a word in one's vocabulary when they have 3 school age children and 3 school runs a day to do because one's on half days...
