Had a horrible dream last night about dh and woman that I hate. I couldnt even look at him this morning poor bloke

I feel fat, unattractive, bloated, smelly. The ASOS catalogue came this morning and I wanted to cry. I have lots of horrible pg ailments that make it even worse!

I miss my size 8 figure, I miss going to spin classes and admiring my arse in the mirror [shame], I miss being able to feel sexy and having dh wanting me, I miss sex, I miss having a life, I miss shopping, going out with dh or friends and driking loads of vodka and smoking marlboro lights.

10 weeks to go, but Im not sure I can cope with feeling like this for that long

Additional hairs growing from stomach/on big toes etc are signs of additional male hormone. Apparantly

Then WHY aren't they growing on my son instead of ME?? Or am I going to start developing an Adam's Apple and a desire to drink lots of beer and watch sports???

If it supposed to be male hormones, why have i sprouted a chin hair, and am expecting a dd, am 36 weeks.
God, I am turning into a beardy lady, soon children will throw stuff at me in the street. My children will be embarrased to go out with me.
I keep wondering if the sanographer (don't know how to spell it) got it wrong and I am having anothe boy. I have bought, girly clothes and pink blankets for this one. Have spent too much

I guess I should be thankful then that all my extra hair is growing on my neck, although I would rather not have discovered this with an anouncement from the hairdresser that I was getting a hairy neck . I have 9 weeks 4 days left providing they haven't booked out my caesar day til I have my 8th dc and I am so over the being pregnant with toddler. 2year old dd climbs into bed with us in the middle of the night and I end up crawling in the bottom, sharing the bed with dhs feet just so I can roll over ever 5 mins. Hips ache, shoulders ache, bump uncomfortable, sick of being tired every second of the day and I look forward to being a more reasonable, patient person after los arrival. Thanks for the rant ladies

Erika, oops, sorry shouldn't have mentioned the 'D' word (December!) - aaaaagh!

Even my cat is bored of my being pg now. He looks at me with disgust when he can't get comfy on my knee. Oh dear.

All this talk of weird hair is cheering me up greatly - finally, a pregnancy-related niggle I haven't got!

All this... and I'm getting the kitchen done, and the lazy feckers keep adding days on to their time estimate. It was supposed to be finished today.

And as a result I'm sharing a house with my BIL who has turned into a gigantic wanker who likes to tell me that my baby's going to die.

Still, it's keeping my mind off my sore joints. I didn't know the human body had so many, and every single one of them hurts.

Kathy I thought I had escaped the strange hair syndrome until I spotted the strange blonde beanstalk growing out of my chest. I hope you do get away without one, but don't speak too soon. If pregnancy is teaching me anything it is how unpredictable my body can be!

Poor baby - when I feed her the beanstalk is going to tickle her face .

Oh, I am happy to report that the aches and nausea I have seem to be related less to pregnancy and more to do with a tummy bug I have picked up. My mum's GP friend thinks I have swine flu (without seeing me ). If this is the dreaded swine then all I can say is that we are hardly doomed. I really don't feel bad (just as though the loo is my best friend) - but would you ladies be seeking medical attention if you were me? I have a MW appointment (she's coming to my house on Friday), do you reckon that is enough unless I start feeling ill properly?

Oh and trellism, tell your BIL to sod off from me. Telling you your baby's going to die? That's mean.

I reckon also that you should go to your house and pretend to be in labour. Nothing says "finish this kitchen NOW" more clearly than a labouring woman. Just see how quickly they clean up and go when threatened with the prospect of delivering a baby...

Trellism at your BIL - what is his problem???

MrsHappy Hmm- think I would ring GP just to be on safe side and describe symptoms. WOuldn't bother going down there though, esp as they tell you not to if you might have swine flu. Have you got a temp? Hope you're feeling better soon.

About to attempt preg yoga again in an attempt to feel better about self and inactivity - will try not to faint this time...

ErikaMaye · 26/08/2009 13:49

Tresllim's BIL, for example, is a twat. Give him a slap for me. Arse.

Katser good luck with the yoga!

Ugh, can't walk today. Mum reckons I have a bit of a tempreture and my glands are up. Not sure if its just my ME flaring up or something else - just to confuse me that bit more.
