Anyone else really fed up?

[kayzisexpecting]

I'm 36 weeks and so bloody fed up now. Fed up of not being able to get comfortable, needing the toilet every 30 minutes and most of all people asking me how long to go, "ooh haven't you popped yet?", "It could be another 6 weeks yet if you go over". ARGH!!!!!

So I thought I'd start a thread for all us pregnant ladies who are fed up of waiting. I know there was one a few weeks ago but I couldn't find it.

I feel sorry for my DS too. I can hardly change his nappy let alone play with him.

i worry about what its going to be like afterwards. I had bad pnd with ds1 and feel like i missed the first 18 months of his life (then got pg!) and hes only really used to it being just me and him as dh away in the week. i think im going to try to ignore the baby where possible for a little while! Only cuddling when he asleep.

Its horrible, i sympathise. I'm so sick of ppl saying "oh no baby yet" - its like "no, see this bump - means it is still in there!" I was convinced i'd be early, and shes proving me wrong! I love her to bits obviously but sometimes when i'm sitting in bed sobbing with pain i could seriously get mad with her for putting me through this. Sounds awful as a mum but i think we all split ourselves in 2 when we are pregnant, the mum part who'd do anything for their child and the you part who just wants yourself to be happy. I dont blame myself for the way i feel - i think i would be un-natural if i didnt feel like it!

I get that too Baby. I do sometimes feel like saying "Yes I had him last week, I just shove him up my jumper so I still look pregnant"

i had FIVE texts on tuesday asking if id had the baby. Do they think they wont find out?? Not one of them said 'how r u'. Was fuming so ignored them all!

My brother asked me the other day. I mean of all the people I think he would be one of the first to find out.

my sister was one of those 5! Shes had2 kids so MUST know how annoying it is so i sent one back going dont you think youd find out, and she like 'i wont bother asking in future then if your going to be like that' stupid woman. anyway im off to drown myself in a bath of clary sage (dnt know why im bothering) oh i mean go drown my sorrows

PHEW! So glad it's not just me thats a stroppy hormonal bitch!!!

We live in a small village where everyone knows who everyone else is.... I don't want to leave the house because of all the 'have't you had it yet' comments I get everywhere.

My brother called on monday but i ignored it and still haven't called him back, I just do not want to talk about it!!!!

I also spent half of tuesday night sobbing in bed, accusing DH of not fancying me because we hadn't had sex (only to make the baby come obviously!!!), from his point of view a sobbing 9 months pregnant women is hardly the most attractive thing in the world is it? and unlikey to get him going!

I feel slighly better today, the Ds's have gone to MIL's for the day, so am going to whizz round nesting like mad, in the hope something might happen.

By the way, don't feel bad about not giving your 1st DC's the attention you used to, Mine watch far too much cbeebies at the moment, i know that, but we will make up for it, i know and they are not likely to accuse me in 10 years time of letting them watch far too mcuh tv when I was pregnant are they!

The only person who keeps asking if I've popped yet is DP.. he rings me during his lunch break & thinks it's HILARIOUS to start the conversation with "still pregnant then?" every single time

My whole family are assuming I'll go overdue & need to be induced because my mum & my sister both went over their dates by quite a lot, so they never ask if I've had the baby yet. I have quite a small tummy because I'm tall, so thankfully I don't get strangers commenting on my bump either.

Grr I woke up so grumpy today. A new pain has appeared over the last day or so.. it now feels like my left hip is dislocating whenever I walk. That combined with sciatica & painful BH is fun fun fun

I thought the BH were going to turn into the real thing last night.. they were regular for quite a while & I noticed quite a lot of blood-streaked mucus when I went to the loo.. but nope, no labour yet!!

Woooohoooo, Saw MW this morning and his head is engaged!!!! I am so happy, she has said that it could happen anytime from now onwards.

Sorry to see so many of you really suffering, I'm feeling rubbish but I am only 30 + 3. Went to my first ever aquanatal class last night, didn't quite understand some of the exercises but just being in the water was bliss, the support it gives to my tired body, just wish it wasn't such a hassle to get myself there after work and then home. My nearest pool doesn't do them, and the one that does is a straightforward bus journey but with a good 15 minute walk from the bus stop (uphill going back as well).

I'd just deal with this all so much better if I could have a poo am 37 weeks with my 3rd and I am never doing this again. I am almost tempted to get some castor oil

still preggers here - 37+4

Keep hoping tonight will be the night but still early days I guess.

Hugs (gentle ones) to you all in the same position

Hehe i love this thread - being able to whinge without ppl thinking i'm bad! Anyone i whinge to thinks i'm selfish and just says "dont worry, not much longer" - i could deck them when they say that! DP used to start conversations with "any contractions" - i was like "no, i'll bloody tell u!" so he moved onto "anymore shows" - "no, i'll bloody tell u!" now he says "how are you?"

Glad he is learning!

i went into town today and did some banking etc and they all said "when u due"? I said - tomorrow to Monday sometime and they all looked shocked and said "wot, and you're out and about". Its like yeh, wot else am i gonna do - sit at home and rot?! Nah, too boring!

Am on the raspberry leaf capsules, tempted to overdose but wont, hehe!

As for the whole sex to get her out - DP is hoping i'll go overdue so he'll get some, i've refused sex since day 1 of this pregnancy. He hasnt gone without "anything" let me just say but sex has been a big no no. Think he sees this countdown not as his baby coming but how many days till he can be serviced again!

Allie, lots of people say Castor Oil is good but if it doesn't work it can make you feel ill.

I had someone tell me this morning that once the baby is here I'll wish I was pregnant again. Urmmm NO I wont!!

babylove - LOL at your DH waiting to be serviced - hee hee!
You must be due roughly the same time as me.
We have got builders in at the moment, building us a new extention (I know great timing!)& when I went out to get some bits and bobs done today, one of them said to me 'i'm surprised you're still driving!!???!!! I'm pregnant, not partially sighted!!!!

I've also had DH telling me off for walking DS1 up to school on monday....I think I am finally getting through to him that the worst that can happen is I will go into labour Yipeee!

Allie - i believe castor oil is sometimes used to bring on labour, is that what you want it for, or so you can go for a poo...or both??!!
I got really constipated on my iron tablets, i have stopped taking them because of that. DH made a chilli on tuesday night though which certainly got things moving, a combination of beans and spiciness I guess...maybe worth a try?

I'm only 15 weeks and i've had enough! The nausea, tiredness... where does the list end??? So pleased to hear its not just me tho!

My mother in law left me a message this afternoon saying "hello, i am asuming that you're not answering the phone because you've gone into labour and are on your way to hospital". I rang her back and said "if you ever leave a message like that on my phone again, i will be forced to take action against you!" She said "feeling well then?!"

The truth was i was upstairs trying on the nursing bras i've had to have made - yes made. Apparently they dont make nursing bras for women who have big backs! I have tried EVERYWHERE and the only one is mothercare who do my size in 1 type and i tried it on and it was horrible not to mention fuddy duddy! In the end i bought 4 cheapie normal bras and have taken them to a lady who has cut the straps, put clips on them and made me my own nursing bra's! Just another thing annoying me!

Did the walking today, had my tablets and nope, still frickin pregnant! Going to go to the health shop 2morro and get some clary sage, apparently rubbing it on the bump does help. Also read that using radox muscle soak - has clary sage in it too........hmn, we'll see!

babylove - I have stopped answering the phone now. It is not as bad this time round, as it's my 3rd. I remember with DS1 it drove me insane!

Sorry to hear about the bra's...what a nightmare, I am with you on mothercare bra's they are useless...particularly for the larger norked lady!
I have the opposite problem, small back and big cup size, I bought a couple of bra's on ebay, guessing my size, one was a Freya one .. good make I thought, but one of the clips has broken already.
Good luck with the clarysage - let me know how it goes.
I have my reflexology this afternoon, so looking forward to that.
If I could just have a bit of a show....anything...just to give me some hope that this baby does intend to come out at some point!!!

I looked for Clary Sage yesterday. Only the chemist had it and it was £9.99 for a tiny little bottle. I couldn't believe how expensive it is.

I'm fed up of people asking how I feel. I just say "fine, bit tired" when I am dying to say "NO, I am fed up of being pregnant and fed up of people asking me if I am still pregnant"

Can I join in? Only 22 weeks but seem to have the worst pmt (how does that work??) ever. Grumpy, tired as never able to sleep through a whole night, niggly pains and breaking teeth. I am a joy to be around . My dh told me last night I should be more grateful. I know we have been lucky to fall pg so easily and so far all ok but now I just feel guilty for not jumping for joy!

Another fed-up person here (36/37 weeks). I made Dh stay off work on Wed because I thought I was going into labour only for it all to fizzle out. Nothing happened yesterday and then I had another sleepless night last night with lots of painful "twinges" which again came to nothing . I'm really irritable too (I have 4 other dc's) and the lack of sleep isn't helping. I'm dropping off dd4 at her pre-school session in a mo but I can't decide whether to go back to bed or try walking about a bit more to see if it has an effect. None of my other pregnancies were like this!

I'm only 26+5, but can I join you?

Really not enjoying this pg. PGP means I cannot play as much with ds (though I am a very good sofa-bound fat controller when he plays with trains), sleep is a nightmare as wake up everytime I try to turn over due to the pain in my pelvis, back and hips, and cannot manage more than an hour pootling around doing bits and bobs or I feel that my undercarriage is going to drop off!

Think dh is sick of me being miserable old bint. Dh's friend asked how I was doing the other day - just replied "oh, not so bad". To which dh said, "no you're not. You moan constantly about how fed up and sore you are". Don't think he understands that he has to listen to me moan on, but our friends don't.

Phew - feel a wee bit better now I realise I don't have to be "blooming" (hah!) all the time! I shall be around for the next few months if anyone feels the need to moan back at me

Hope you ladies near your edd get some relief soon and the lo's make a safe and easy appearance!

Hello ladies,

Kay and Babylove - tell me more about clary sage please.... I should know being that this is no.3 but never used it before.

It would be so much easier, practically speaking, to have baby at the weekend and seem to be having lots of niggles (wishful thinking probably and thinking about it too much!)

It is meant to help bring on labour. You shouldn't use before 37 weeks apparently. Its an oil that you can add a few drops to a bath or mix it with a carrier oil like baby oil and massage it onto your bump.
