Into the final stretch and I have got the RAGE! Anyone else fancy a moan?

[KatnissMellark]

I'm 34 weeks, being induced at 38.

Finish work next Thursday (currently WFH with a three old kicking about, DH also WFH).

Fucking annoying twat badgers are annoying me at work. Over complicating things that don't need to be. Pedantry. And complaining about their cat distracting them

DH is not pulling his weight. He is working hard, at work stuff. But we're supposed to split the day so we each have half a day to work in peace and half a day to mix/match work with entertaining DS. All he does is stick him in front of TV, them he's a bloody terror for my half of the day. He's also only doing any DIY/baby prep when absolutely nagged into submission. Staying up working til 2am, then complaining he's tired and being a grumpy bugger

DS was up from 2am-3.30am last night and then slept in bed with me due to nightmares so I'm knackered.

Got horrific heartburn.

Peeing every twenty minutes.

Thrush though luckily got some canestan in my Tesco order.

Honestly I am so fucking over working full time in third trimester during lockdown with no childcare...surely newborn+toddler but no work will be easier...please let it be true!

Caveated to say I totally appreciate this pregnancy, I'm just bloody knackered and feel rubbish, and I do realise there are people far worse off then me.

Oh, and fucking carpal tunnel as well!

Love your user name, loved the books so much.
Almost 34 weeks and it's so fucking hard. Plan was for me to be swimming and gentle gymming every day while 4 year old DD would be at preschool. So that hasn't happened and I've developed hideous horrendous SPD and PGP so it feels like I've sat on an axe at maximum force. And like my hips are going to break whenever I move. I'm hot, and uncomfortable, and anxious over the new world we seem to have. I can't play with my little girl very much, I've got almost no tolerace or patience bless her adorable little heart. So guilt ontop of that too. Been a stressful pregnancy from the very start with HG, I also have placenta previa so of course waiting to bleed out everyday. Ooof thanks for the rant OP here's hoping the next few weeks fly by

31 weeks pregnant and have a 2.5 year old. I am just feeling like a completely lazy mother. I would usually sit and chill whilst he played at soft play, in a park or at playgroup. But now I'm sitting and chilling on the couch. Today I moved to my bed for a change of scenery. Sorry. I realise this probably sounds like bliss to you. I am just feeling guilty! I feel like a better parent when the sun is out and we can spend the day in the garden. Today with the rain I know he had a boring day!

Ah there is nothing better than a rant to get the rage out. Not long to go for any of us

36 weeks here. Feeling a tad sad at my lack of maternity leave. I know I shouldn’t moan (but that was the point of your thread OP!) I was really looking forward to days on my own - I have an 8 and 10yr old. So instead of doing the stuff I wanted to do (swimming, lunch out, shopping etc..) I am home schooling and working from home for longer as my Mat leave person hasn’t been able to learn as much yet as we are all WFH!

Add to that the baby is breech

My hips hurt like fuck and I wee so much at night I may as well not bother getting in bed!!

@MsChatterbox yes the weather has been so crap today!!

Thanks OP for this thread.

I am proud to say I have been a beacon of positivity for the majority of the last how ever many weeks we have been in lockdown but not today. Today I feel crap.

I have been or felt sick every day since week 4, now week 25.

My parents are making me feel terrible about isolating (to protect them and other vulnerable people) and I even got sent a gem of a Daily Mail article yesterday evening entitled “Keeping grandparents away from their loved ones isn’t “shielding” it’s cruelty”.

DP is working from home which roughly translates to spending some of the time on conference calls and the rest of the time ordering stuff for himself (not me, 2 ds or new baby) on Amazon, chatting to his family, watching hilarious videos online (at least he is kind enough to share these with me in the evening) while I pretend to be Mary Bastarding Poppins but without the magical trips to the park or any bloody where. He is also occupying a room as an office that should have long been vacated for the sake of our growing family but that would require some effort on his part.

Tomorrow is a new day and I am sure I will be feeling hopeful and at least partially effective as a parent but thank you so much for the opportunity to rant. I feel better already.

Sending lots of empathy your way Xx

36w peeing all the effin time, restless legs and ichyness driving me nuts. So glad to be isolating alone!

Can you swap the day over so you work first? Atleast then you are done and it wont impact you as much!

@Babycracker I do have my no-distraction work period first. DH has DS in the morning, lets him watch too much TV and the he's a nightmare in the afternoon.
