Anyone else got the grumps?

[Imavinoops]

Only 30 weeks today... but...

Sore back. Tired after doing Christmas. Grumpy as hell.

I'm staying in bed, it's been decided.
Anyone else want to join me for a duvet day, fake wine and treats?

I saw a midwife recently and she said they don't start worrying about the baby's position until you get to 36 weeks. I realise that's not far off for you, but there's still time for the baby to move. I'm sure they will advise but if you're getting very worried I've heard that osteopathy or acupuncture can help encourage the baby into the right position.
What's your scan for?

They have always had me in for extra scans supposedly due to my age 37 and BMI and it being ivf that we went through.

We had Harmony test so we know baby is ok on that front.

But the Bmi and age and ivf put me at risk of DVT so I have been on blood thinning injections.

Growth scan all seems average.

Midwife told me i would most likely be on midwife unit... despite me seeing a consultant the whole way through. Treating me like it is my first child due to three risk factors and maybe coz my daughter is 14.

I'm so fed up. Had my scan this morning and baby is head down but not engaged so could move again. That should be happy news but the absolute catalogue of errors which has been my antenatal care has come to a head today and I'm going to be putting in a complaint about the complete disorganisation and disinterest of all of their bloody staff! Missing blood tests, appointments for clinics which don't exist, missed antenatal classes due to a total lack of correct information and I saw a consultant who's not my usual consultant and she was a nightmare and seemed to think some of the issues I have are funny and not worth worrying about. I also enjoyed the complete assumption that I was happy with all suggestions and would just trot along without any fuss or needing anything explained or discussed. Very cross and upset right now.

Oh dear Daisy Sounds like a good plan, definately say something, sounds like you have had a right run around!

I stupidly managed to fall down the stairs and sprain my ankle this afternoon. Feel like such an idiot!
Still, all fine and not much to worry about now.

Oh no Ima! That sounds pretty painful! Ah well, just further proof if it were needed that you should be sat with your feet up while your family wait on you

Daisy Clearly! Been a bit of a wake up call for DP I think! He went mad cleaning up the house for me while I was out getting an xray!

Aww Ima hope you and baby are ok

Found out today my middle son who has just turned 6 has significant understanding difficulties at school. Really worried about him. The behavioural aspect of things are apparently not an issue but I'm not too convinced as the assessment focused purely on his understanding. Been so stressed out can feel a lot of pressure on the bump.

On a happier note got a growth scan tomorrow looking forward to seeing my baby girl again 😊

Pointless Sounding very stressful. DSS is being tested for autism all week next week, it's such a worry isn't it!
I always try to look at it as a positive though, if he has had an assessment and something has been picked up then it's much better picked up now rather than later. Easier to put things in place to help him! I hope it all goes okay!

Have fun at your growth scan!

We are having a duvet day today. (The foot won't allow much else!) So it's DisneyJr on the TV and blankets galore!

Yes it is stressful Ima feel like it's all my fault he is like this 😔

So had the scan was all excited until she said the baby is breech. Something I suspected for a week or two now. Had a disappointing consultant with the registrar telling me I can give birth normally to a beeech baby even though I am high risk, had a past placental abruption and two premature babies. Absolutely crapped myself all the way home and decided to call my midwife and she said no way is that going to happen. Been booked in for another scan in 3weeks time so pls pray this blob turns in time and I don't go into premature labour again 🙈 Oh the joys

Pointless Obviously don't know ANY details but I'm sure it isn't possibly your fault at all. Every child has a particular or different need in their lives. This just happens to be his at the moment. Most parents tend to do what they feel is best in order to bring up and nurture their child. You sound no different my love and therefore it's probably just one of those things.

Crossing my finger for you little baba Sounds like your midwife is pretty good though! Sounds like she might be one of the people to "kick arse" for you as my mother would say.

I have my midwife next Tuesday, wondering if she will be able to feel anything breech like when she examines me. Won't know for sure until my 36 week scan.

Fingers crossed for you Ima

Lol yes my midwife is awesome she's the sweetest person ever and genuinely cares for her patients. She wasnt happy they didn't tell me I qualified for an elective c-section due to my past history and I was stressing out. Got a midwife appointment on Tuesday as well and she will be putting it in my notes to make sure if I go into premature labour and the baby is still breech I get a c-section rather than risking natural birth

Our beautiful baby girl arrived safely and quickly this morning. Can't believe it after such a difficult pregnancy but it was worth every second and more. So very much in love with her already.

Pointless Well done her! Sounds like you have a great one. I'm sure she will make sure it all runs as smoothly as possible!

My midwife is a bit no nonsense but I kind of like that. She is also very sweet and I can tell she does everything properly which is very reassuring. Anything I'm worried about she is always very quick to make me feel better too.

Just Congratulations my love!
I'm so happy it's all gone to plan despite your tricky pregnancy and your lovely little girl is here!

Just congratulations!! Lovely news I'm not jealous at all

Congratulations Just so happy for you 🎊🎉

Just congratulations! Lovely to hear some good news on here.

I got home earlier this evening from yet another hospital stay. Basically, medical situation both for myself and unborn daughter are (coincidentally, and independently of one another) even more complicated and uncertain and risky than previously thought. It's looking as though we will both be spending the first days and weeks and months after her birth going through endless appointments and tests.

(This is, I do realise, beyond the realm of normal and reasonable third trimester grumps. Will seek help elsewhere.)

I know it's hard, when you are feeling huge and grumpy and can't sleep etc. But I had my baby at 27 weeks and I'd do absolutely anything to have stayed pregnant, to feel her kick, to get excited about an imminent birth. It was all taken away from me and I wish I could get it back.

Hello all
Just joining here. The joys of tonight's lack of sleep include the worst heartburn I've endure so far and a sore pelvis.
I cant cope. Sitting up, took heartburn tablets.
I just cant
So tired

Oh congrats Just

too I didn't give birth as early as you but I had two premature babies as well both born at 34weeks. I lost one of them due to a placental abruption but I totally get where you're coming from.

Matilda wishing you and baby all the best can't imagine what you're going through at the moment 😔

I've had 4hrs sleep (yay) and the fear of giving birth naturally to a breach baby woke me up 😔 So freaked out right now AGAIN! Stupid registrar has totally put me on edge feel very unsettled.

Matilda Sending lots of well wishes for you and baby.

Evergreen Heartburn has been one of my annoyances too really. Every evening without fail.

too I understand what you are saying. Wouldn't ever wish any prematurity on my own baby or anyone else's due to any discomfort due to pregnancy. Unless it's medically needed it's much better for baby to "hang on in there" until then end.

Just congratulations!! Hope you're feeling ok after the labour. Lovely squishy baby

matilda hope you're ok and not too upset about the imminent issues. Sending you and your DD lots of well wishes.

All of you breech mamas - I feel your pain and worries. Really don't fancy labouring through a breech birth either. I actually don't fancy going through any of it again but hey-ho

Very grumpy today. I thought I was 29 weeks. Nope. Still 28 weeks. I am being such a grumpy bitch with my children - aged 4 and 22 months - and they deserve a much better mummy than I am currently able to be. DH is self employed and works Saturdays, and I have a whole day on my own again stretching out before me. Seems like all DS's friends are at parties so it'll just be hanging out in a freezing playground for us. Meh.

Ffs!!! New tandem buggy doesn't fit through our front door. We have a stupidly narrow non-standard front door and it's literally a cm or two but enough to be a problem. Arrgghh.

It's no big deal because I'm sure thousands of people collapse and Uncollapse their buggy in and out the house but with every other buggy, I've been able to bring it in in one piece - which is a godsend when the baby is still asleep. But it's completely thrown me that it doesn't fit

That would make me very grumpy indeed RedCrab

Congratulations just :)

Red Oh god, the buggy not fitting through the door would send me into a rage. What a pain in the arse.

Still lounging around resting the ankle. The small boy of the house is beyond bored with his dull Mummy. Trying to get it better as we have hospital appointments all next week for his MDA and I'm the driver! My little trip down the stairs was so badly timed tbh!

Although it is rather amusing I'm sure watching a fatty old pregnant lady hobbling around everywhere.
