I'm am pissed off this morning

36 weeks this week.

Last night I didn't get to sleep until 5am due to the non stop moving baby, heartburn, hip/back pain that was so bad I was crying at one point and needing to go to the lol every time the baby jabbed her head I to my bladder, which was about every 20 mins.

Up at 8 to drive ds to school/dh to work and then go to fucking Tesco.

Just got home and I am tired and hacked off.

Arsehole of a husband emailed me from work to tell me how tired he is (I can't see how, he fell asleep at 10pm and proceeded to snore all night long) and that he's having a bad day. I said I was too and he asked why.

Why??? I'm 9 months pregnant you massive, massive twat.

I would go and have a bath but I don't fit in it properly and can't get put of it without help.

(On a lighter note, if anyone is looking for 0-6m sleeping bags hey are now reduced to £8 in the large Tesco stores).

Poor you. I am 33 weeks and I feel your pain.

If your DS is at school and you've not got anywhere to be, could you go for a nap, or even just a lie down with a book/magazine?

Loopylouu · 03/03/2014 11:08

I'm currently on my bed eating my own body weight in m&ms.

I'm just pissed off at dh always asking what's wrong in an exasperated tone. I want to stab him.

Op my dh is also one of these "your pregnant, not ill" types! When I am feeling a bit down with the physical discomfort of being 39weeks pg and looking after 2 other dcs he always seems surprised..,I don't know want to say sometimes. Love him to bits, but just wish he was a bit more understanding sometimes.,.,.,.so I know how you feel.

Writerwannabe83 · 03/03/2014 11:14

I could have wrote your post OP Smile

I'm also 36 weeks and the movements are sometimes so painful (when mixed with back and pelvis pain) I could almost cry!! I really sympathise with them keeping you awake too - it's awful!

My DH has currently got backache and is moaning that I'm not giving him enough sympathy and keeps asking for rubs and massages - he can't understand why I'm telling him to fuck off!

We're nearly at the end of the road though - and then the fun really begins Smile

Catnuzzle · 03/03/2014 11:15

My standard response was 'I'm tired. I'm fed up. I'm uncomfortable'. It was a bit of a standing joke and second time round he was prepared!

ithoughtofitfirst · 03/03/2014 11:22

LOL @ you massive, massive twat

I said i felt like shit yesterday and dh said oh maybe you're coming down with what i had. Which was what exactly? Morning sickness?! You total bellend.

DomesticGoddess31 · 03/03/2014 11:26

Oh my god are you me??? I totally sympathise. 36wks on Thursday and last night was actually a good night despite waking hourly in agonising pain (fecking SPD) and having to turn over/go pee (AGAIN)/peel the soggy duvet off my hormonal sweating skin (urgh). My DH is another one who might get stabbed if he complains about being tired/achy/in any discomfort one more bloody time.

My top tip if you can afford it is book yourself a spa day. I had one on Saturday. A whole day. By. My. Self. It was bliss. I definitely feel for it.

Loopylouu · 03/03/2014 11:26

I've just found a great way of getting the baby to stop doing summersaults - try to video your bump moving. They will instanty stop. It's like they know.

She was just moving like a loon, limbs poking out everywhere (I'm so not eating m&ms again, that bloody hurt), as soon as I press record on my phone, she stops. I will be employing that trick tonight.

I'm glad it's not just me with an unsympathetic arse for a husband. Although, I am doing my version of nesting at the moment. Which is basically telling him what to clean, he spent all Sunday following my orders, so he's not all bad.

I'll just stab him at bit. Not fatally.

PenguinsEatSpinach · 03/03/2014 11:27

Oh god yes. I have a bug that's going around - massive headache, achey. Caught it off the kids. DH is now away on business until Thursday night. I said last night "I wish you didn't have to go" and he sighed and rolled his eyes. I didn't want him to cancel or anything, I just wanted some sympathy "Poor you, I wish I didn't have to leave you like this too. If you really can't cope you can call me." But nada.

DomesticGoddess31 · 03/03/2014 11:27

feel better for it

Loopylouu · 03/03/2014 11:39

You know, I am not trying to be sexist, but I sometimes imagine a world here men have babies.

They would spend 9 months laying in a dark room, whinging and wanting to be waited in hand and foot with 24/7 sympathy.

I would stake my life on them not hauling themselves round Tesco or trying to keep upbeat for older dc.

OP posts:
DomesticGoddess31 · 03/03/2014 11:42

They wouldn't survive the first trimester. Not in a month of Sundays could my DH have managed to live through morning sickness plus work plus toddler.

Loopylouu · 03/03/2014 11:56

Oh yes, work!

My dh once took a day off because his foot hurt.

I'd love to see him getting on the tube at 8am trying desparatly not to be sick on someone's shoes.

OP posts:
PenguinsEatSpinach · 03/03/2014 11:56

DH has put his back out, which I do have lots of sympathy for. It is really painful. But god he'd be useless at the 'low level shit-ish' you often feel most of pregnancy. Grin

cathpip · 03/03/2014 12:02

My delightful arse of a husband came home from a ski trip with a dislocated collar bone, he has had his right arm immobilised completely for the next four weeks, he can do fuck all!.I am 35 weeks pregnant, we have a 5 and 3 year old, and he actually had the balls to say to me how difficult it was to sleep and do things and now he knows how I feel when heavily pregnant......, he then wondered why I walked out and left him to cope for three hours, twat!

PenguinsEatSpinach · 03/03/2014 12:21

My husband isn't a twat. He's really quite lovely generally. But his levels of sympathy and concern have decreased with each pregnancy, whereas I found 2 harder and 1 and am finding 3 harder than 2...

Pickofthepops · 03/03/2014 12:39

My dh "oh you are funny".

As I ran to retch over the toilet. 8+5 with dc2. Was in and out on a drip from 6 wks to 9 months with ds1 - hyperemesis. Still got to and from work when I wasn't in hosp though.

And don't make half the racket he does when he has a tummy bug.

Gits!

Inglori0us · 03/03/2014 13:13

Similar rage here.

I walked (waddled) 15 mins to Tesco and back is the pouring fucking rain this morning. My carpal tunnel is really bad and I aggravated it dragging my buggy over the huge fuck off pipes that are attempting to deal with the flooding problem (which has closed my road to cars).
Huge puddles, wet feet, wet & muddy jeans (only ones that fit).
Got home to see dh (working from home, apparently) playing fucking xbox. I want to stab him in the face.
Dd threw her lunch on the floor (on purpose) and had a huge tantrum. Thank fuck she's now napping so I can have some peace for an hour.

Dh just got a phone call saying one of his employees is signed off with anxiety and stress. This seems to bother him considerably more than his wife having constant Braxton Hicks contractions, a bad back, a totally fucked wrist, a stroppy toddler and a baby so big it's no longer within normal range.

I really do just want to disappear.

It's my birthday on Saturday, for which I have no plans at all.
Breech giant baby is now trying to move and causing me great pain.

Fucking pregnancy can do one.

HannahG315 · 03/03/2014 13:36

I had the exact same experience last night.

I'm 39weeks, neck and shoulders are in so much pain I tied my dressing gown tie round my head ninja style to apply so,e pressure at 2am.

Tried sleeping on the couch, still hurt.
Asked OH to swap, at 3, came down and he had the fucking Labrador on the couch 'for cuddles'- what fucking grown man does this.

If anyone says the following to me ONE more time, I will kill them:

  • not long now
  • oh when he's out, you'll be missing pregnancy
  • you think that's bad you should insert something I don't care about here
  • oh I reckon he'll be at least 'x' days overdue
  • AND THE WORST: you know that lady whose due date is exactly the same as yours... She had her baby.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh

Loopylouu · 03/03/2014 13:48

"not long now"

I have kept my distance from everyone I know in the past few weeks for fear that I will punch them very hard if I hear this again.

I've got 23 days until my section.

Thats 22 more nights of no sleep, rib/hip/back pain, feeling intermittently sick, getting bigger by the day and getting out of breath just sitting up in bed.

It is a long time when you feel like crap all day.

Oh wow inglori0us I think you win today's cake for day from hell - poor you! Sad
loopy agree with you on filming them - mine is camera shy too. Bloody little blighter auditions for the cirque du soleil (rehearsals have to start at 5am prompt apparently. Every. Morning.) until I flick my phone camera to video. How do they know?!
Am only 32 weeks but feeling it much more than last one. DH is baffled by this and expects me to still be cheerful, mobile self. I find myself fantasising about smacking him over the head with a large baguette or trout whilst loudly reminding him I now have a 2.5 yr old with the attention span of a grasshopper on speed - which makes this pregnancy marginally more difficult!!! You ignorant twat...

Everything has been irrationally winding me up today. The dog not staying in the boot of the car but trying to scramble over the back with muddy paws. Toddler not lying still to have his nappy on before nap time. Tesco taking money from my account despite me cancelling my online order with them. Not being able to get the filter drawer thingy open on the dryer to clean out the lint. And DH is also away on business, and complains about it. And while I appreciate he misses home and us, part of me wants to silently scream 'do you know what I would give for a night away in a hotel, in a clean tidy toy-free bedroom? Where I could order dinner which someone else cooks and not have to clean up afterwards? To not have to do the mind-numbing dinner (nag), bath (nag), bed (nag) routine? To have a peaceful, quiet night's sleep in clean fluffy bed linen? To wake up in the morning and be able to make (and drink) a cup of coffee without having to first sing nursery rhymes, answer a gazillion questions, feed the cat, put the dog out, empty the dishwasher...' Do you know how much I'd love that right now???!!
But no, poor DH because he has to spend his evening reading his book in the hotel bath... Tragic...

Loopylouu · 03/03/2014 16:17

inglori0us i'd have shoved his xbox up his arse and then made him shit it out again. That way he'd know what childbirth feels like.

Mummytobe2014 · 03/03/2014 16:32

I could have written this post too. 39 weeks today crippling spd which is getting worse by the minute, didnt sleep last night as had dp stuck to my sweating back all night, you wld think we shared a single bed but no we have a super kingsize i was actually fantasising about all the space he had behind him. He was snoring a little but i couldnt sleep because i was hot, my spd means its too painful to turn over, needed a wee, angry coz of all the fucking room he had, then he got up at ine to eat, turned all lights on. This morning i said i didnt sleep a wink he said "dnt i know it, you kept moaning about it evrry five mins" arghhhhhhhh i cld have belted him one. So then we had to go to an appt at hospital where he kept saying how tired he was blah blah. Then ikea to get chest if drawers, half way round he says "im fed up with walking round now i jst want to get to the end" lol have some fucking sympathy for me who cant walk fast/far, shouldnt be walking and was at this point quite sweaty and also didnt want to be there but had managed not to moan to him about it. Im sure it was directed at how slow i was walking too! He has gone to look at a lake now (hope he falls in) lol...love him really but why dont they get it!???
My lo is sitting so high still which doesnt help getting out of bed. Oh and he knew i was struggling with socks,did he offer to help - did he balls!! Grrrrrrrrrr

Mummytobe2014 · 03/03/2014 16:34
