just thought id get a new one going as there are only 2 messages space left on the original..xxx

I am working up until 36 weeks, but I work in a school and am currently on summer holidays! Will go back in September for 2 weeks and then go on maternity leave!

I commute to London too Jacks. Dreading my waters breaking on the train!

i wish i had saved up more of my holiday days to use up before my mat leave but things happened and ive taken most of them due to DS1 being sick or bsitter not being able to have him etc.

what happened last time Jacks ?

p.s. yummy you can "hide" a thread you don't want to look at any more... if the option doesn't come up at the top of the thread you need to change your settings by going to "customise" in the "talk" menu.

Last time: DS born at 35 weeks, went into labour while at home on my own (DH had gone to work) and drove self into hosp ... eventually born by EMCS after reaching full dilation and pushing only for them to realise he was breech... tried to push for a while but he got stuck and distressed and they can't use forceps etc on a bottom, hence the EMCS. All a Bit Scary although turned out ok in the end.

yummy - that is miserable. The last thing you need when you want a good moan is for people to be rude to you.

Re mat leave, I am planning on working until 38 weeks (which means not leaving til 8 October, which is still 9 weeks away). My boss asked me (nicely) if I would work as late as poss and they are going to pay for minicbs for the last few weeks so that I don't have to go on the tube.

I am a bit about you going into labour at 35 weeks Jacks And I am extremely impressed (and a bit ) that you drove yourself to hospital!!!!! Good work!

Yes, driving was a bit in retrospect but seemed like the only option at the time since DH was 1.5hrs away at work, it was rush hour on a Thurs a.m. in London, the queue for the Tube was out onto the street and the local taxi firm said not a chance of a cab despite me arriving on their doorstep heavily pg and in obvious distress (bastards ). Oh and to top it all off, we had incurred hospital parking fees of about £100 by the time DH drove the car home again later that night. Nice.

Sooo happy not to live in London any more!!

Its like i dont want to look but i have to! theyr still being mean and v.personal now so i just called them all unfit mothers. in hope it would p them off. Immature of me i know but in my hormonal state i couldnt help myself.

Anyhow, DS1 is being a saint tonite - has spent the last hour amusing himself, found a sponge and decided he wanted to 'dust' the whole house so i let him carry on whilst i sit out these BH which are still leaving my belly rock hard most the time.

the thought of being in labour in london to me is VERY scary so well done to u ladies who live there! im in a teeny tiny town and have a 20 min easy drive to hospital in which i know there will always be plenty of staff to look after me as its not a very busy area (Wrexham). the thought of citie stress me out, altho i used to live in bham so not sure y!

yummymummy I have just looked at that thread, it's horrible. They're being so vile. Just ignore it! I know It's hard but don't go back to read it again!

i know! Iv gone passed the thinking ill get any sense out of them stage now and am finding it quite amusing fluffing all their feathers up. they bite too easy.
Sad tho that people go on for a little moan - like everyone needs now and then and they get that bak! y oh y didnt i just moan to you guys i will never know!

wow you have all been busy on here today, Yummy they are all bitches who obviously have miserable lives and no friends, respectable people with manners don't behave like that, it's just plain mean in my opinion - so there (stamps foot)!

Welcome to the new folks and Roo have a good break

Getting a lot of BH's myself too, but only just remembered that that is what they are - will put it down as another blonde day!

Good Morning,

Well so far, today is starting off considerably well! I have woken up in a good mood and greeted OH pretty well wen he got out of bed.

Plus its Friday, which means another week done at work. Its gone so fast these last 2 weeks. So all in all, this mite be a good day!

Im still waiting for my Phytaoiol to arrive when i ordered it last week i swear...the post man has been so it may be on the doorstep. Just cant be arsed to walk all the way to the door just yet!

Think im going to sit down and watch Teletubbies with my DS!

Hope ur all ok.

Glad you're in a good place today Yummy and try to stay away from the AIBU thread today!

So glad it's friday - only 7 weeks until my mat leave starts (I'll be 37 weeks), but having read through Jacks's story, I'm getting nervous as I have an hour commute to London every morning. Still, I'm convinced I'll be late as it's my first.

Had my first antenatal class last night, so it's all getting very real now!

Morning all and Happy Friday!

DH has just gone off on his cycling trip - with a broken bike had to call him an emergency cab to get him to the station so he can get train to Scotland. So, that's the last I'll see of him properly for about a week. He's been in such an odd mood the last week or so too so...hope he feels better. I don't know what's up with him, maybe he just needs a holiday!

WFH today, I have tons to do but I am so tired. I finally admit it, I can't do the busy days I used to, in fact I'm an eejit to try. Sun's out and I'll meet a local friend for coffee so that makes things better

Would this annoy you - got a text from a childless friend y'day saying 'o wow, are you tired then? I thought you would have loads of energy and be cleaning the house...' it so annoyed me, the implication that I'm somehow lazy! Obviously I shan't be posting on AIBU!!!

Re going in to labour early, I have been reading up in m'books and learning how to deliver this baby on my own! Let's bear in mind I live in London where there's no shortage of hospitals, I'm not in the outer Hebrides! What am I like?!

Its so hard not to take a peak every now and then Jenko77, theyv already started again on there altho i havent read the posts yet. Ill try not to retaliate today!

I wish we had our antenatal classes set up, they seem to be v.unorganised in our town and i think ill be lucky if i get to fit them all in before i pop the rate theyr going! My midwife wouldnt have even mentioned them at my 28wk app if i never brought it up which is a bit sad.

Morning DillyDora, yay, its Friday! and i totally have that 'Friday Feeling' going on thismorning. So you have a whole week of peace coming up do u? - or r u dreading him being away? i think i wouldnt mind a few days on my own but then i would want him back as id have no one to moan to and hes such a good listener when i moan!
Re the text thing, yes in my sensitive state it would piss me off - just bcos no one seems to understand that making a baby is actually quite demanding on our bodies! those who havent had kids yet and males seem to think its just a case of getting fatter for 9 months then having lots of pain pushing baby out...i wish it was!

Thanks yummy you made me laugh! I have been really struggling to slow down but feeling increasingly rough so very sensitive to judgement! I am kind of looking forward to some 'me' time, but I will miss him. He is taking his sons to see their grandparents for the first time in years on Tues, and taking them away by himself for the first time ever so it's a big deal and I wonder if he is just very, very nervous so maybe this w/e cycling will chill him out a bit.

Aww thatl be nice - and a nice break for u aswell if u can manage to fight back the 'i miss them feelings' that i would get! Seriously, i do feel sorry for my OH, i dream of having a break and then wen i get one i end up texting him saying i want my baby back now after a few hours cos i miss him (DS i mean not OH!). you just cant win!

He probably is nervous, men seem to store things up inside and just act strange to us - i notice that with my OH he will go weird for days and then once we get to whatever it was worrying him i suddenly click as to y he's been so strange!

Yummy not sure what I have just done but just posted on your AIBU thread! Think I might get attacked a bit but read it and couldn't believe how sh1tty people were being! This is what I put!

Hi All,

I am not about to get stuck in the middle of this rant, but I just wanted to say that I think some people have taken a pregnant womans rant to the extreme here, she openly admitted after an hour or so of sending this message that she felt the hormones had made her a little more angry than she would normally have been.

I really hope that you all don't start attacking me for trying to stick up for Yummy, but having been MNing with her due to having the same due month for some time, I can honestly say that she comes across as a caring, reasonable and genuinely lovely person and I just wanted to stick up for her here!

Sorry if I offend anyone but I wanted to say my bit!

Thanks

I just read what you said babybunting2010 thanks! They have totally gone way overboard and read into my post far too much. I am now acting as immature as them by fuelling the fire but they just bit my head off as soon as i posted!

Ah babybunting that's so nice of you! I don't think you can say anything on AIBU thread without being flamed.

I asked if I was being silly at not wanting too many more 2nd hand things (I have accepted a lot, but would rather not take old sheets and spoons off people!) People seemed to be telling me I was being utterly ridiculous and how ungrateful I am. However much I told them I have taken stuff but as it's my first I am enjoying buying bits and pieces, but also didn't think unreasonable to be unhappy with spoons and bedding. My husband completely agrees with me and was more adament than me about it, so I guess it shouldn't bother me what strangers think! Will NOT be posting on there again!

Well it seems to have shut them up a bit! I read it and totally just thought that people had gone well over board and it turned into a proper slagging match which just wasn't fair!

Next time chick stick with us, we all have the same hormones as you and won't attack you! I promise!

Hmm... a little confused about someones message on it, she is either attacking me for sticking up or patting me on the back oh well!

Can't understand the personal attacks though there are some messages saying that Yummy and OH don't have a good relationship etc... as if they have a blinking clue what happens outside of a website!

x

You know that's one thing I don't get about AIBU, someone has a bit of a vent and the next thing you know there's a crowd of women on there advising her to leave her OH! Steady on!
Sweet of you to post in support babyb and yeah, yummy stick with us!

Aparently my OH is going to take my 2 kids away from me and leave for canada on his own now cos im such a horrible partner.

Think they just are small minded people who got bullied at school and therefore now take joy in bullying others over the net where no body can see them. Proud of my theory.

I honestly just wanted a rant, wanted a few other mothers to moan back about their OH and that would be that - instead i got attacked, called a moaning old hag, asked which uni i went to so they could avoid it after critisising my text type and then told my OH will leave me. Lovely people! lol.

I will stick to this thread from now on, what will i ever do once our October month has passed? We must start a after birth thread for October 2010 mummy's!

Have i bored every one to sleep? ...

OOh, well, I do have to say I did have a little nap.... I wasn't bored though! just a bit sleepy
