we'd never ignore you!

day from hell here...ds woke at 5.30am ready to start the day! no amount of rocking, shushing, milk or even me singing in a lovely sweet voice 'go back to sleep you little shit, mummy feels like crap' worked!!

Nbg · 10/04/2007 12:51

pmsl, you think he sensed your pissed off ness

the only bloody thing is was ever any good at was sleeping thru the night, and not waking til 7/7.30am...now thats gone out the window!!

Nbg · 10/04/2007 12:54

Ds is still waking in the night and its killing me atm.

i just generally feel poo most of the day...but i did 1st time round as well...never really got the whole blooming in pg thing! but, am sure the 'blooming' thing will start asap if i don't cut down on the biscuits soon!!

hoping the this baby will be happier than ds!...though, most babies are happier than ds!

Nbg · 10/04/2007 12:59

lol

I'll be massive if I carry on snacking.

skirmish · 10/04/2007 13:02

i'm beyond caring at the moment though - how sad!

Nbg · 10/04/2007 13:04

i guess i am too.

Have you contacted a MW yet?

OP posts:
skirmish · 10/04/2007 13:05

haven't seen mw yet...doctor normally sorts that out, and i think i saw her last time just after i had my nuchal scan, which is in mid may

did you get morning sickness with your other pg?

Nbg · 10/04/2007 13:07

Ahhh right.
MW said to me last week just to call after my scan to let her know how far I was and then to see her at about 16 weeks.

I had sickness with my dd but not ds.

OP posts:
skirmish · 10/04/2007 13:08

ahh, so maybe another little girl then!

ELF1981 · 10/04/2007 13:09

(hijack) huge congrats JARM!!

skirmish · 10/04/2007 13:09

are you going to find out the sex?

Nbg · 10/04/2007 13:13

Probably. Dh did want a suprise when we had ds but I couldnt wait so I wonder this time if he'll insist on keeping it a suprise,

Are you?

OP posts:
skirmish · 10/04/2007 13:16

dh wants to find out, but i like the surprise, and having something else to push for, iyswim. we were 99% sure ds was going to be a girl, so it was fantastic when he turned out to be a boy!

Nbg · 10/04/2007 13:17

Yeah I guess your right. It is something else to keep you going.
I'm just so impatient lol.

OP posts:
skirmish · 10/04/2007 13:18

lol

i just hope it's quicker and easier 2nd time round...labour that is, pg is already the same!

Nbg · 10/04/2007 13:20

Well it was certainly quicker for me.
6 hours compared to 12.

It would have been even eaiser if ds hadnt decided to go back up when I was pushing and turn transverse!

OP posts:
skirmish · 10/04/2007 13:24

omg! what way did he come out in the end? nobody told me just how annoying the actual pushing bit is...talk about 2steps forward and 1 back!!

Nbg · 10/04/2007 13:25

Had to have episiotomy and forceps because he did try and turn back for me but ended up coming out face up instead of face down.

OP posts:
skirmish · 10/04/2007 13:27

ouch ouch ouch! you'll tell me you didn't have any pain relief as well i bet!

Nbg · 10/04/2007 13:28

lol no I didnt
Totally my choice and to be totally honest its not that bad.

I did have a TENS but it packed up on me the morning I went into labour!

OP posts:
skirmish · 10/04/2007 13:29

well done you! drug free here too, but was constantly throwing up during labour so kinda limits what you have!!

Nbg · 10/04/2007 13:31

Awww no!
I remember wanting to be really sick when I was having dd but wasnt.
