Just remembered waking DF up last night by accident while trying to turn over. I was huffing and puffing and it was such hard work just to move.

Him: you ok?
Me: Mhm
Him: are you having contractions?
Me: no I-
Him: sod ya then! *rolls over and starts snoring*

Git!

I'm so ready for this to be over now.

Do you feel like we didn't enjoy the good bit enough? That's how I'm feeling today!

LOL @ your other half though

mine is having a bad hair day today and went on a massive strop about how horrible it was and how it wasn't what he wanted so I said right, lets take it in turns - by the time i was done with everything that is annoying me today he admitted defeat and has gone to put the cot together that'll teach him for being such a bloody girl

my right foot actually hurts with the swelling but I don't know what to do for the best. They say keeping going helps the lymph keep moving which helps it go down, but so does putting your feet up to rest - MAKE YOUR MINDS UP PEOPLE

 

[JakesMummy]

Gertrude I understand the feeling with the selling- mine are blotchy on the Palms and soles and when I squeeze into a fist, it kinda hurts?!? Can't really describe the feeling . Like when ubget hot and your fingers swell, then squeezing them feels odd, like cushiony? I am bad at explaining feelings but that's what it feels like lol ! Even getting out of bed in morning hurts my soles?!? But theresno edema - like fingerprint indent left when I push, so god knows, I'm having a lazy day too.

Had breakfast in bed at 9am although made it myself then got back into bed! Jake had a nap at 11am so slept in my bed until 30 mins ago , now I'm laying here doing nothing!! I need to get my Adar into gear as we are staying at my mums for 2 weeks whilst we get a kitchen fitted - shitting myself about having baby and not being able to move home.. I could scream but hey ho, got to be done.

MMM Breakfast. IDK what to have for breakfast today. I don't think I got enough sleep last night either. I got up to pee 6 or 7 times and spent my last 2 hours in bed rolling over trying to make my hips start hurting- then DH started to complain that he was cold (he's always cold!) So I rolled over again to face away from him since once he starts complaining about how cold it is in the house (thermostat reads 70 so it's probably about 60) he's coming in for some body heat!
He woke me up when he came to bed last night and asked "Can I wake Rosie up" UMM NO! IM SLEEPING AND IM TIRED AND IF I DONT SLEEP ENOUGH I WONT FEEL GOOD TOMORROW AND THE WHOLE DAY WILL BE SHOT! Except I stopped at SLEEPING and added "so please let me sleep"
lisaed- sorry to hear your still in the hospital- hope things get figured out soon.
gemsy- nope- only counts if it's Freshly cut but for some reason I've been wanting pineapple on my pizza to- can't get enough of it lately. Weird. But I don't like hawaiian pizza- pepperoni and pineapple works for me though

 

[Soulshaken]

Hey ladies :wave:

sounds like we are all getting to the breaking point on here! I was up (trying to) roll around all night, getting up to pee every 2 hours, feeling like my pelvis was breaking apart, and now i'm just plain exhausted

I guess the last few weeks are this miserable so we are all BEGGING for labor instead of being scared to death of it... although i'm still very nervous to say the least...

Hope everyone can get some rest today and feel better soon just want to hold my little man already!

 

[caro103]

Congrats Luvmyangel!

Lisased hope they stablise you and let you out of hospital soon hun, let us know how you go!

Cottles, jakesmummy and gertrude, my feet and hands feel exactly the same! and i've been active yesterday and today and I swear its just made them bigger! I woke up this morning and was able to leave indents in the tops of my feet , normally they're all bony and everything stick out!

Did more gardening today, its all neat and tidy out there now, but hasn't kick started any contractions ...boooooo!

Hope everyones having a nice wkend! MissFox, hope the move goes well hun! xx

 

[CottlestonPie]

Oh caro I feel your pain I've been able to leave indents in my legs ankles and feet for a while. Putting pressure on them is so sore. The skin couldnt possibly stretch any more.
My knees and feet have been much worse since walking around the shops yesterday.

 

[Harleyy]

Onee monthh left for mee :d

 

[loopy82]

Hope everyone who is feeling rotten today is feeling better soon

I'm usually the same, especially at the weekend but for once I've actually got loads of energy. Managed to clean the bathroom, got a load of washing done and have cooked 8 days worth of meals to go in the freezer! Hope this energy kick lasts a little longer, could do with getting the house vacuumed tomorrow...

 

[DanaBump]

if one of you ladies with all your energy could come over to my place, that'd be swell. i'm in major nesting mode with no energy/motivation to do it

 

[MissFox]

I second the hope all you ladies are feeling better!!! And swelling goes down. All of my nesting energy goes into moving today. I'm on load 3 of laundry and still have a couple more to go. EVERYTHING WILL BE CLEAN FOR THE MOVE THOUGH!

 

[CottlestonPie]

I'm so ready for this to be over now.

Do you feel like we didn't enjoy the good bit enough? That's how I'm feeling today!

I'm feeling a lot like I should've not only enjoyed the 'nice' bit of pregnancy more but also like I didn't make the most of being physically able to do more...
I've had to go to bed to elevate my feet because they're stinging... Maybe tomorrow will be more comfortable and I can scratch a few more things off my To Do list.

Sam I totally admire you... I don't think I could cope with moving this late on in pregnancy. Good luck hun, I hope it all goes smoothly and as stress free as possible x

 

[bernina]

Lisa, hope that they're able to get everything under control and that you and little one are doing well.

MissFox, best of luck with the move today. Hope it goes smoothly and make sure and put your feet up and rest this evening when it's done.

Went and bought a pair of compression stockings today and so far am in LOVE with them. They go right below the knee and provide support and are supposed to help with swelling. Will be on my feet quite a bit tonight (going to a suite at the basketball game, go Pistons!) so we'll see how they work. So far they are bliss and wish I would have got them weeks ago. If anyone is interested this is the brand and I got them at the local drugstore (Walgreens for those in the States) for under $20. They have all kinds of languages on the box so am sure they sell them all over the world.

Little one seems to have migrated north and for the very first time in my pregnancy received a proper kick to the lung, very uncomfy and not something I wish to repeat. Hopefully she's just stretching out a leg and not actually moving further up instead of down. I keep trying to tell her to head south but not sure she's got her compass in there.

Lots of aches have started at bottom of bump and also right on the lady garden (which I attempted to trim in the shower today, wasn't that fun!) Feels like I've slammed my pubic bone into a brick wall. I'm sure it's just all the new pressure but not a nice feeling. Almost feels like the heavy days of period when you get a throbbing pain down there.

I turned to DH in the car today (as I was trying unsuccessfully to put on my new compression stockings) and asked when I turned into the big old exhausted pregnant lady!?!

 

[caro103]

aww bernia you crack me up! bubs missing her compass . I'm with you on the pubic bone being slammed into a brick wall though! and the constant feeling as if period is coming, initially I thought it might be a sign, but it started on Monday night

Feeling quite jealous right now, my friend irl who had the same due date as me has just texted to say her baby girl arrived today! lucky thing. Although for some reason she got induced, so guess there must have been something found at her bloods on thurs. Come on baby....

 

[Tasha360]

Congrats Luvmyangel

Only had a quick skim of the posts so sorry if ive missed anything. The twins have got a cold so are a bit unsettled so not been able to get much done

xxx

 

[CottlestonPie]

I have been having tightenings and lower back pains all day and just found er "gloop" in my pants (sorry tmi)... Not LOADS but quite a bit. No blood either.
You know when you know it's not the start but really wish it was? I'm feeling like that now. It's 9pm here. If things started now I'd have him tomorrow. We'd share a birthday! That'd be so cute... Ah well!

 

[caro103]

err kinda sounds like it might be the start of something cottles! fx'ed it is anyway, do some bouncing or bding before bed! xxx

 

[JakesMummy]

Major rant warning!!

We are due to have a kitchen fitted here, as the one we have is falling apart and we rent off family (the house was DHs Grandmas) so we have been decorating it..we don't plan to stay here for any longer thna a year, we have been here since 2007.

So after MONTHS of asking/nagging etc we finally had a kitchen delivered - MIL/FIL got it off ebay - it is lovely, but sitting in our garage at the moment!!!! So we have had to park one of our cars in the already packed road.

So this was 4 weeks ago - we were told it would be being fitted by FIL friend who is self employed in fitting kitchens etc so fair enough. This was 2 Sundays AGO. Apparently he was busy so scheduled it for Wednesday just gone - again had to cancel as the job he is on hadnt finished. Said he would ring..never bothered.
So rescheduled for this Sunday - said he would ring to confirm - no phonecall. So MIL calls tonight and says he cant do it til WEEDNESDAY!!!! I'll be 38 weeks pregnant by then!!!!

It'll take at least 2 weeks and as they are travelling 50 miles here, they will be staying at ours, which means we have nowhere to sleep so will be staying at my mums.

I am FED UP of not being told what is going on...I cried when DH told me it had been cancelled again and he had a rant at ME!?!? I am so hormonal right now, now is NOT the right time to be saying why are you crying? !!

I packed my suitcase last night to go to mums, and emptied the kitchen so we still have boxes EVERYWHERE - Now it has been cancelled until Wednesday : (((( I could scream!!!!!

I just pray this baby stays in there til the maximum 2 weeks overdue or else we are royally screwed. I DO NOT want to be at anyone else home with a newborn and toddler, I found it hard establishing breastfeeding last time and am scared it will be the same this time round - I wpould rather be at home. Even if it does get done in 2 weeks - I shall be coming back to a fucking mess, and I have to clean and sort it out being 10 monrths pregnant!!!!!! ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

SO SORRY just had to get it off my chest - OH isn;t the best listener. He said its not a problem if i give birth and have to stay at Mums for a while - erm HELLO!?! It isnt fair on anyone! I dont epect to stay at Mums as with a newborn it aint friggin easy and everyone ends up waking up at all hours, as well as having to share a room with a toddler! And OH works nights..fantastic(!) I may bring on labour just stressing about this so had to get it off my chest!!! Well done if you got this far!!

 

[JakesMummy]

Cottleston that does sound rather hopeful ESPECIALLY as you are getting the pains with the plug coming away too....Oooh keep us updated : D

 

[caro103]

jakes...can they not just wait to fit the kitchen until after bubs is born now? or is your old kitchen so bad it desperately needs replacing? dunno, just wondered if it might be easier to leave the kitchen in the garage until bubs is a good few wks old and you';ve got breastfeeding established? a pain, but at least you'd have peace of mind you'd be going home to your home iykwim? especially as it sounds like you've lived with the current kitchen for so long? xxx
