what you REALLY want to say when asked "how are you?" but don't!

[heth1980]

All throughout my pregnancy (am nearly 37 weeks) people have been asking me how I am and i always say "fine thanks". I've been a bit more honest recently and have even admitted to being a bit tired to a couple of people, but what I really want to say is:

1. I'm so tired I can't think straight anymore
2. I feel like someone has deposited a concrete boulder in my pelvis and it's slowly splitting me in 2
3. I am SICK of going for a wee
4. I cannot get comfy no matter what I try 5)I am scared of having to give birth again 6)I am scared I won't be able to cope with an oppinionated toddler and a newborn
5. I am scared that my piles will get so big they will take over the world.

anyone else like to tell me how they really are?

Did I mention the thrush that just wont p*ss off!!!!!!!!

I heart this thread

ahhhhhhh

Just found this thread, it's great! I'm 11+5 and have been ill with HG since about 5 weeks. I can't even type here the evil thoughts that were going through my head when my 55 year old, male, childless boss said 'oh it's a bit early for that!' when I spent an entire day in the loo puking and crying!!!

i feel like a bit of a baby in the pregnancy scale as im only 22wks today but i so love this post!

I really think its good to have a good moan to get it all out! although i do like to let others know im suffering, im not a 'Im fine, thanks' person, im more of a 'Well i would be fine if i didnt get woken up at 5am by my 2 yr old thismorning!' kind of person!

Although i am trying to enjoy my second pregnancy cos god did i moan first time round! I do hate the feeling like an invilid part though - i only have to lift a box at work and everyone is glaring at me across the room telling me to put it down!
and im not looking forward to that not being able to turn over in bed feeling...
although, the biggest thing is i am totally freaked out at the prospect of having to divide my love and attention between a 2 nearly 3 yr old and a newborn - how am i going to manage?! Im sure things will all fit into place once little one is here but right now it is so scary...on top of the mounting pressure that i need to get my 2 yr old potty trained in the next 4 months which i thought was going to be a doddle until i attempted it twice and he just doesnt seem interested at all leaving me out of ideas!
So not too bad rite now but i know i have lots of moans to come just watch this space!

Hurrah!
I'm almost 38 weeks and sooo can't be bothered to say I'm fine when I'm really not - when asked I often tell people I hate being pregnant (cue look of shock/horror on their face) although I add that I really do want and will love my baby when it comes.
This thread has cheered me up no end and I can empathise with every woman on here, having suffered most of the symptoms they have talked about.
It's a good job I didn't know about half this stuff before my pregnancy really, although having said that, I'm sure I'd have done it anyway!
