being pregnant and lazy

[Shrimpy]

Penelope will go for Tarquin. She'll love his dirty Pampers ways and will love it even more that you don't approve so you better get used to your future son in laws bad habbits now.

Well i am too posh to push.

And think those who push and yell out in pain should be gagged. How very dare they?

My husband actually said I should have been gagged with dd1, apparently I sounded like a pig being castrated ... NICE I personally think they should have recorded the squealing and used it as birth control in high schools

 

[Twinminator]

LOL at everything. There, that should cover it.

I'm going to scream the hospital down, in fact, I will have no need to announce my labour commencement on here, you will all have bleeding eardrums at the same time.

When that happens you will know it is my time.

I'm lazy - so what? I've worked damn hard my whole life. If I live to be 80 and have 2 pregnancies, I'll be pregnant for about 1% of my life. That really isn't a lot. I for one intend to take full advantage of the fact that lots of people will do me favours - bringing me drinks, cooking me dinner, giving me a back rub etc - during this time.

I am going to scream my ass off too, But i am also having a big fat needle in my back to kill the pain, called an 'epidural' and i am really looking forward to it. I dont care what people think!

Pregnancy affects everyone in different ways. You are lucky that you obvoiusly are having an easy pregnancy.

Not really your place to judge.

 

[ellasmum]

Sorry but I totally disagree with that you are lazy if you ask your other half to get you a drink or run you a bath etc. They do their bit and that's it for them until baby comes along. I am the one one who feels knackered and sick half the time so why shouldn't he look after me a bit? LIke others have said when he's been under the weather before I've looked after him. Sorry but I some opinions are best kept to yourself!

i dont think someone not working or doing less hours is lazy at all and especially is ur suffering because of a medical issue. . x

have been saying this from the start. lol

 

[Mummy to be x]

I am so annoyed right now! It clearly states in your original post that you were refering to girls on here who have posted in the past. This forum is meant to be for support and to be able talk to the girl's about anything and everything. I find it really upsetting that you have reffered to the girls on here

I'm fiercely independent but am not going to be made to feel bad for asking my OH to make me a cup of tea, or take my dog-walking coat from the garage and put it on the radiator to heat up whilst I drink said cup of tea because I want to feel a bit special for a while, because we both know that it will be me doing ALL of the 'manual labour' when LO is here and I'm not working and it will be ME that does all the childcare and chores etc in ADDITION to working full time again when that time comes.

It's a few weeks of my life to be looked after a little, before the mayhem begins, and does not make me lazy.

Some OH's (and mothers and sisters etc etc) think of their partners as very precious when they are expecting and do pander to them and perhaps advantage is taken, but seriously, why the heck not??

I agree with Bellablue, sounds to me like you're a little bit jealous to be this bothered about it

Not jealous at all. i know for a fact if i told oh to do something he would. but im saying i am more than capalbe of doing it so why should he be treated like a servant?

men (although a lesser species lol) do have feelings too and by using them (for want of a better word) shouldnt be justified by the fact im giving birth.

yes in a relationdhip its always nice to run baths etc for each other but thats a mutual thing cuz one of you has had a bad day but just cuz were pregnant doenst mean they dont have bad days

 

[0400772]

wow so many posts. finding it hard to keep up with this one. lol

im not saying you arent allowed to ask for things im saying (as someone put on here) take the piss out of people just becuase your pregnant.

yes its nice to feel special and have someone run around after you but where does it stop?

 

[lousielou]

yes its nice to feel special and have someone run around after you but where does it stop?

At the birth.

 

[mislaww]

I haven't read all the replies yet but

Oh you must, it's a hoot.

Just pre-empting Part Three: "middle class babies are better behaved than working class babies".

you know its coming! lol

f*** that's funny.

And now for the controversial part - poor 04 - I don't think she meant this thread to go this route...

 

[pip holder]

I understand your (poorly worded) OP, but sorry to sound like a broken record but yup - every pregnancy IS different! This time around I am feeling great not too tired, not too sickly - but if you'd have asked me during my last pregnancy...
I literally wanted to die some days with pain from SPD, working fulltime too - although gotta say it is soooooo much harder being home with a little one. I was actually relieved to get back to the grindstone!

Yes, we may take advantage of our OHs, yes we may milk the 'I'M TIRED CARRYING YOUR BABY AROUND' malarky - but are you honestly telling me that your man wouldn't be a hundred times worse?!? Mine would be demanding bed baths and hourly brow mopping by ten weeks in

You sound naive about the whole matter - relax and ENJOY your pregnancy, let people spoil and cherish you, you are doing the most precious task of all, who cares if you could get your own drink - involve your OH and let him do things for you

How do you know that the people who "moan" haven't run their OH's a bath or whatever? You only hear/see one side of things.

And also in the same respect if my OH hurts his toe at work does that mean that I shouldn't make him a cup of tea if he asks? He could still get up and do it himself. Just because he has a hurt toe for x amount of weeks doesn't mean I don't have a bad day too ....

I agree hehe... Omg i cant believe this post is still going haha
Look hun you may aswell back down from this one because you have upset ALOT of people on this forum. Maybe it wasnt meant that way but you have.
You have your opinion on life and pregnancy and we have ours... And mine is that when my oh finishes work he is making tea because my back is killing me from hoovering the stairs and because i pissed my kecks because i was stuck in traffic getting my daughter from skool New i should have started the pelvic floor excercises hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

No. It never stops.

I'm going to leave the comments about different pregnancies as they are - Twinminator perhaps said it best, but many ladies have put it eloquently and I can't add (what? I have nothing to add? Yes, I'm feeling okay, thanks for your concern).

I work long hours, often 7 days a week, I work out and run regularly, I make most meals and continue to clean the house and run errands with DH.

I haven't had the hardest pregnancy, nor the easiest, but you know what? I'm tired sometimes. And you know what? My hubby, no saint as previously discussed, is more than happy to make me toast, get me a drink, or pick up some of the chores I'm too tired to do. I don't feel guilty in the least for doing this and I really can't see how it implicates my independence. My feet work fine but so do my hubby's.

Am I taking advantage of my DH? Yes. I'm taking advantage of my hubby's commitment to taking care of me. He does it to me, too. That's just a loving relationship (married, friends, parents, whatever, same goes). We take care of each other. When he's tired or drunk or working late, I take care of him too. It makes us both pretty happy. (Not saying that those who don't do this don't love each other.)

Does that make me lazy? Maybe. I don't care. And just as importantly, neither does DH. So, uh...why should you?


04 - I'm sure you didn't mean this as offensively as it has come off. Every pregnancy is different, every person is different, and every relationship is different.

 

[babytime1992]

Every pregnancy is different I work full time waitressing so I know what it's like to be on my feet all the time and suffer from terrible back pain. I don't think that makes me any better then women who lounge around their entire pregnancy...I'm jealous of them to be honest! And I don't have an OH to do anything for me much less help out financially, but congrats to the women that have fantastic OH's there very lucky and I think most of them know it!

Sometimes I wish I could not work and have time to myself like some of the women on here seem to do...but that certainly doesn't mean I wish they had to work like I do?

Meh -she's entitled to her opinion.

And I'm clenching.
