I'm still 4 weeks away from my due date and i want rare steak and a glass of wine so bad... I'm not a big drinker but I find myself smelling other peoples drink just to get by. My husband loves the fact I'm buying him beer just so I can smell it though

whereisthewitch · 28/05/2014 21:41

Im 38weeks with dc2...is it wrong that I want it to stay in there? Grin
I'm absolutely petrified of having two....should have thought about that 40weeks ago when I said..."DH lets try for a baby" and fell pregnant that bloody night!

I do want cider though. ..quite a lot.

My second too whereisthewitch...
But I am so uncomfortable!
Although can understand - I'm torn between wanting her out and wanting just one more night of sleep...

whereisthewitch · 28/05/2014 21:50

Oh I'm so bloody uncomfortable, up weeing about 8 times a night, ribs feel like they're breaking and also the familiar shooting pains in my fanjo!
But I have to GIVE BIRTH and then deal with the sore nipples, sore fanjo, constipation, horrendous hormones and worst all no sleep waaaah!!!

Lol...I don't know what I'm having so excited to know :)
Just a few more lie ins.....then it can come out Grin

Oh how lovely! A surprise! Have you got a DD or DS? This will be our second DD (DD1 is 3)

Ah yes. Fanjo pain. Think that's cervix thinning or something (being stabbed in the fanjo?)
I have that plus SPD. Midwife suggested I go for a long walk today to try and get things moving Hmm
The result: I now can't move off the couch.
This indigestion is fun too.
And when I'm not able to keep my esophagus from working in reverse I've still got bloody morning sickness!
Hmmm vomiting/constipation/kicked in the crutch by a horse/kicked in the ribs by a giant baby... And now I have to push her out!
But it's bliss when they arrive it makes it easier to cope with the discomfort after birth IMO.

whereisthewitch · 28/05/2014 22:12

We have a DD too...she's 2.9 so similar age gap as you :)

I was standing in the supermarket earlier and hot the fanjo stab...I actually yelped!
I have severe reflux too though ranitidine has been a life saver!
I had HG up until 24 weeks so I can sympathise with the sickness, yep getting the baby out will be a good thing, I just had a horrible first 6 months ith DD it's all becoming a bit real again iykwim but I know this time that it will pass. Plus I'm looking forward to a summer baby this time...DD was autumn/winter which I found hard!

Geminiwitch22 · 28/05/2014 22:14

Already on sleepless nights at35weeks and4 days. Sick of dh mum depression and whining wanting the baby now, she's not the one going through the Labour induction, yet has the audacity to compare her pregnancy (30 odd years ago) and mine. I have complications and keeps comparing me to other female members of family. Won't help me keep up keep up with cleaning that she's causing most off (dropping fruit skins on floor and not picking up).

Back hurts BH, dh trying to keep me sane. Feel like crying about it all right now but dh mom sits crying if I get upset as if I've injured her. She never seems grateful for anything I do, got swollen ankles from being on feet all day looking after one of her 12 grandchildren (don't mind) but seems like I'm being used.

Sorry rant over... just want my baby now

Omg Gemini she sounds a nightmare! I'm guessing she lives with you? Why do people have to make everything to do with birth about them? It's infuriating.
My mum has been contacting me every day for 3 weeks "is she here yet is she here yet?"
Today "it's your nan's birthday! She should have been born today"
Like I have a say in it lol.
Not sure what they expect me to say... Oh yeah! I had her and it slipped my mind to mention it!!! Gah! Will probably go nuts at the next person who asks me if I have had the baby yet. Especially annoying when you don't hear from anyone and suddenly they all pop out of the woodworks wanting to be the first to know.
But I suppose it's nice to know people care.
I know it's hard towards the end and have she's my fair share of tears. Let it all out I say.

A bit behind at 32 weeks here, horrendous heartburn, unquenchable thirst - visits too loo. No clothes cover my giant bump, raging hormones, lots of crying, on and off bloody starving, SPD and a broken foot.

Other than that, all is peachy. Going from 'this is the easy bit' to, 'can't wait to get on with it'. Already have 3 other DCs so it is already crazy here!

Whereisthewitch sorry to hear about your first few months with DD1. I hope you have a smoother time this time around.
Goofy...sounds like you're not having the smoothest ride either. Number 4?! Wow! You are going to be very busy (but I bet that's what everyone is saying)

OP posts:
Geminiwitch22 · 28/05/2014 22:34

Nunyabiz: I wouldn't mind her being a nightmare but I keep being dragged into arguments, she made a birth plan behind my back demanding my mom stay with her while I goto hospital on my own if dh at work!
When I say I can't cry I mean it last time I did 3 days of her in tears, no real support of dh family just well wishes (all siblings have kids), wish I could scream but she then calls me a bully or that I'm having a tantrum, but to my mom oh she's great and doing so well considering. Gah! The best bit dh hovering during Jeremy Kyle while her granddaughter baking with me and she starts moaning!
Dh says I'm like this atm due to tiredness and worry (scan 8 next week with 9th obstetric appointment).
Want cake and a cuddle not counting on it....Sad
Once again sorry for rant

Omg don't apologise! That's what this thread is about!
I have been wanting to moan for months and it's very hard when you feel no one will hear you. Your circumstances with her sound less than ideal. I can't believe she wrote your birth plan!! What a nosey parker. I would be tempted to tell her to shove it up her arse! But then I suppose you would look like the bad guy. What a stressful situation to be in. Not what you need when you are pregnant. It's the one time in life I think it's acceptable to be completely irrational, fly off the handles... Scream, shout, cry...and still have loads of unconditional love and understanding. I'm sorry you are going through a hard time.
I suppose your DH feels a bit caught in the middle which makes it even more tricky. Sending you lots of hugs and understanding. Look after yourself and feel free to come back and moan any time!

OP posts:
Geminiwitch22 · 28/05/2014 22:52

nunyabiz: dhhugs: feel caught in the middle can't do right from wrong.
He's trying his best but if either of us say anything about her irrational behaviour we get it. Thank you for the hugs and hugs back and understanding at the sweep as they are inducing me in 3ish weeks.
Hoping this time it works for you let me know when you have them in your arms.

I think so... But nothing consistent yet... That was painful. I changed my mind! Get back in get back in! Confused

Well that must have worked as I'm not having any more! Looks like I'm in for a long latent phase. will keep you posted.

40 weeks today, had my 2nd sweep yesterday, induction booked for Sunday.

Man alive, he's comfy in there. Cervix is open (they didn't bother with anything as fancy as bishop's scores) but his head is high up and I'm supposed to bounce on that fecking gym ball to get him down. At the same time I'm supposed to keep my feet up as I have bad swelling.

Maybe trying to do both and falling off would get him to come out?

BEEwitched · 29/05/2014 11:37

BTW, my plug has been coming out since my first sweep and I keep on having contractions but NOTHING is happening! pokes bump

I hope things start happening for you soon, nunya!

Nunyabiz · 29/05/2014 12:03

Me too beewitched. Been losing the plug now since first sweep and having tightenings but nothing consistent enough.
Cervix open is a good sign.
I've been on that yoga ball too... Feel like I might break it I'm such a hippo.
Did you ask for induction?

OP posts:
Geminiwitch22 · 29/05/2014 12:14

Beewitched and nunya: sending you both hugs and hoping things start moving soon.
Had a phone call from hospital today.... they want the scan on Thursday next week then I'm being sent to day care gulp

Nunyabiz · 29/05/2014 12:22

Thanks Gemini. What does that mean day care? You have to stay in?
Hope all goes well with your scan. X

Geminiwitch22 · 29/05/2014 12:46

Last time I was in day care I ended up on monitoring for 6 hours. Which Is a little worrying

SicknSpan · 29/05/2014 20:10

Hi all. Sympathies for everyone! I am soo over being pregnant now, didn't expect to feel like this. Dc3 due tomorrow, ds1 and ds2 each arrived a week or so early and so I just assumed this one would too. Ha! Some chance.

Have mw app tomorrow, could ask for a sweep but am a bit nervous about it. Both sons flew out in about 5 hrs each from waters spontaneously breaking/ first real contraction and I didn't get time for pain relief other than TENS and g&a- am worried about it hurting without achieving anything as I know what's coming!

Can't wait to not feel sick (hg all the way through for 3rd time), sleep on my tummy and even though I'll be bfing again a large glass of red the first evening I'm home.

Fingers crossed that we get our babies healthy and sooner rather than later x
