Due September 2022 (Thread 6!)

[IzzyLeigh]

Continuing on from thread 5!

Feeling a little overwhelmed today my little lady's bits are being delivered in drips and drabs and I am kinda like what the hell have I got myself into 🙈 is it normal to feel like this I didn't with my boys but this time I am kinda freaking out a little xx

Oh ladies I am in the most foul mood today. I'm blaming lack of sleep and hormones. I feel like I could rip everyone's heads off for no reason whatsoever 🙄 ugh. Hate this! Hope everyone else is having a better day... 😘

@HaresHoping I feel the same, I feel very short tempered especially towards poor DH. I'm also sure I've got another uti brewing. Gah!

Oh no @TurquoiseDreamCatcher you poor thing! Hope it's nothing or at the very least if it is, that it clears up soon. Let's hope for some nice calm days ahead for us both too 😂🥺 it's a mare isn't it. I've just had a big frustrated cry and it helped x

I'm hoping that we both get a good night of sleep tonight so we feel happier. Pregnancy is so tough!

I feel like I've spent all day being nice and pleasant at work and now I've run out of niceness!

I feel you. I get so fucking irritated by such small things at the moment! Mind you, it doesn't help that I caught a mild version of dds sick bug so I've been having stomach cramps for 3/4 days now. Probably would make anyone irritable 🤣

Deffinetly not having a better day, our house went ablaze yesterday (Wednesday) now living with the in-laws untill further notice with a baby due in just over 3 months. Feeling like the absolute worst mum imaginable right now 😔 it was my fault I left the chip pan unattended while I dealt with my 2 year old. Everyone’s ok but our house is not

@LittlemissMama67 that must of been so scary. I hope you are all ok

Oh my god @LittlemissMama67 you poor thing. That sounds terrifying. I'm so glad you're all ok but so sorry to hear about your home 😭 it's such an easy thing to do, please try not to blame yourself 💐

Oh no @stimpyyouidiot sorry to hear you caught it 😬 you're bound to be feeling grumpy then! Hope it clears up quickly now x

@TurquoiseDreamCatcher sadly last night I had the worst sleep for quite some time 😂 went to bed at 9.30pm, was still awake at 2.30am and then woke up at 5... managed to drop off again for a couple of hours though. I long for a lovely 10 hour stretch, I feel like it would sort me right out 😂 hope you got a better night?

I'm so sorry to hear that @LittlemissMama67 that sounds terrifying :(

@HaresHoping @TurquoiseDreamCatcher I spent almost the entirety of Tuesday crying, from before I got out of bed in the morning, to crying myself to sleep. The best and funniest part was sobbing with my mouth open whilst brushing my teeth. Super sexy look! We had a retreat on here at the weekend which went so well and I had a surprising amount of energy. When everyone left I just crashed emotionally and physically. Finally feeling a bit better today, but now my DP is feeling a bit down I’ve gone into support mode!

@LittleMissMama67 I’m so sorry... I’m glad everyone is okay! I imagine if I lived in a normal house I might be quite dangerous right now! As it is, I’m just burning myself and breaking things at the moment! I trust that in a year’s time you and your family will be able to laugh at this as a funny example of baby brain :)

Oh my goodness @LittlemissMama67 - sounds terrifying. I'm glad that you are ok, that's try most important thing.

@HaresHoping I was awake a 3 this morning for no reason what so ever but had a lie in until half an hour ago. DH took DD to nursery which I'm very grateful for!

@Celyn22 how are you feeling today? Hopefully the tears have stopped? Sending you some virtual chocolate.

@stimpyyouidiot - I hope you feel better soon.

I've got a beautiful bruise across my foot. I was tidying up DD's toys and dropped her little toy toaster on my foot. Who knew it sound make a cracking bruise like that?

Oh wow @LittlemissMama67 , how scary but also thank god you are all ok. Could happen to anyone x

Has anyone bought a 'next to me crib' yet? If so which one did you go for any why? We are currently looking at the options available in John Lewis and like the physical look of the 'Maxi-Cosi Iora Co-Sleeper' and the 'Joie Baby Roomie Glide Sleep Bedside Travel Cot'. All of the options seem to do similar things so just after some recommendations now.

Oh no @Celyn22 😭😔 hope you are feeling better today. I had a massive cry last night out of nowhere while eating my tea. Looking back it's pretty funny that I was sobbing while trying to eat chicken goujons 😂 sometimes I think we just need to let it out.

Nooo @TurquoiseDreamCatcher not you too 🙈 where is the magic sleep fairy! It's so unfair. Fingers crossed again we get a better night tonight! I'm blaming my hips now as even with the preggo pillow (which I love), it still gets uncomfortable fairly quickly 🙄

Yes we did. I think it's called the next2me dream?

It's stimpy by the way 🤣

How lovely is this my mum brought my buggy today she is storing it at her house felt so overwhelmed I started crying xx

@LittlemissMama67 oh my god, that must have been really scary. Glad you are all ok though :(

Got the news today that my mum has cancer in her finger and will need it amputated. Feeling very very worried.

@LittlemissMama67 that sounds so scary and awful, I’m really sorry. I’m so glad you’re all safe though! Hope it gets fixed ASAP, but glad you have a place to stay meantime.
@legaltigger your poor mum! Glad it’s been detected though so they can start treating. Hope you’re all ok x

I had my checkup today, and mentioned the seriously sore contractions after eating ice cream (lactose issues). My doctor confirmed today at a check up if you eat something that really irritates your intestines they press on your uterus and cause contractions, coupled with dehydration from 💩, which also causes contractions. So mystery solved and I’m feeling a lot better (except that there will be no more dairy)! She also recommended 6-8 weeks post pardum to get a coil fitted and said she would induce at 39 weeks earliest for my age and health, unless something goes wrong medically, so august 23 may be the date. It’s getting a bit real now!

@TurquoiseDreamCatcher I’m feeling much better emotionally but the crying has been replaced with tiredness! I’ve been so dopey all day, unable to concentrate on anything. Lucky for me I have a bunny rabbit that feeds outside the window so I can drift off to watching him munching grass and dandelions!

@HaresHoping thank you for the image of sobbing whilst trying to eat! I’ve been there... and just had to hold the food in my mouth as I was too sad to chew!

Today I had happy tears, feeling overwhelmed with love for my boy, and the sensation of my heart expanding.

I’m feeling a bit stuck financially and I can’t do my usual work (cooking for events and retreats) as I really don’t have reliable energy, and I haven’t had a vehicle for the past few months. I don’t know what to do within the physical limitations of my home environment. Making something and selling online seems like the most plausible thing to do, especially when raising a newborn at home, but I don’t have any inspiration as to what!

My outgoings are low each month which I am so lucky for, but I am not making enough to save anything, and with another human joining the family I really do need to start building my savings up again! My partner earns and supports me in a place to live, and he pays for the food (I cook it).. So I am not going to get in to trouble but I’m equally not comfortable right now. Rich in everything but money... that’s been the root of my crying the past few days. Realising I cannot solely take care of the baby if I need to at any point.

I’m grateful for a place to rant and let it out.

@madeleine85 thank you for sharing what your doctor said about foods that irritate the intestines... that's good to know now!
