Not really expecting replies to this, but need to write it down to make myself feel better.
I'm having a HORRIBLE couple of weeks, I've got really bad pelvic girdle pain that's making all movement absolute agony and OH just thinks I'm exaggerating so has been no help at all, just sitting on his bum to watch the football while I get on with everything else. To top it all off I've also been getting painful period type cramps on and off for a week or so. That all comes after a consultants appointment last week that made me feel crap as for various reasons it looks like my hopes of having a water birth or intervention free labour are practically nil.
I had a midwife appointment today which I had to take DS to as well and it was a nightmare.
He point blank refused to go down to the room when we were called, forcing me to chase him round the waiting room and then carry him kicking and screaming (literally) down the corridor after the midwife which helped the pain not one little bit. He then proceeded to repeatedly smack me and anything else he could reach while screaming his head off. I must look like the worst mother in the world, but I honestly have NO idea why the hell he was behaving like that. The midwife tried to listen to the heartbeat and he went mental again, slapping the door and having a meltdown to the point that she just gave up after 5 minutes as she couldn't hear anything. I could tell she was getting more and more annoyed with it all so felt rushed and stressed and barely got to ask her about either the pgp or the cramps. All I got from her was that they could be a sign of something more serious so if I get them again get checked immediately. We're going to Cornwall for 2 weeks on Friday so now feeling so stressed and worried about everything
Baby has turned breech which explains some of the discomfort I've had recently but isn't helping my stress levels even though I know he/she could flip back again.
DH has pissed me off massively when I told him about it by basically telling me I brought it all on myself by not getting someone to watch DS while I went to the appointment. The friend I would normally ask I need the car to get to to drop him off and DH has taken it for the day for a work meeting and then to go fishing for the afternoon, so that wasn't an option. My parents are away for a few days and the the only other person I know locally I haven't seen since January and I refuse to phone out of the blue asking for a favour like watching DS because I just don't think it's fair and feels too cheeky. So, yeah, fantastically supportive from DH on that front. Thanks very much
I desperately needed DS to have a decent nap today so I could gather myself a bit, and so he slept...35 minutes. Then woke up screaming. Today is just clearly going to be one of those days that's best forgotten.
Sorry for the massively long rant, I just needed to get that out as I can't talk to anyone else.
