being pregnant and lazy

[Twinminator]

Yay mislaww, I'm so glad my pelvic floor thread is changing someone's life! Every time I think of your foo foo I'll be so proud.

(Oh and the one thing she's not entitled to do 'in my opinion' is criticise my niece in black and white. Sometimes opinions go too far. Just wanted to add that.)

Fair enough. On both counts!

I don't work unfortunatly, just lost the little work I did manage to get because of the cuts. Which absolutely sucks!

I am not a lazy pregnant person and nor to a I whinge, but thats because I dont suffer, I dont get all day sickness, I dont have general illness (in early pregnancy anyway) etc etc.

I guess, working or not working feeling rough would make you want to moan!

However, I had mixed feelings about not working in the first 12 weeks, I was gutted not to be working, even more gutted that the little work I had was cut, but at the same time I was so exhausted (as every newly pregnant person is in the first tri) that I was partly grateful for not working, although on the other side of the coin I had a feisty 3 year old to run around after.

Im babbling, basically, I would far prefer to be working thats for sure. I can barely pay my rent, times are seriously hard.

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

Why are they being treated like servants? I think you're over-exaggerating this somewhat and you are saying that we USE our OH's????????? If they didn't want to do it they would clearly tell us to cock right off. Mine would anyway.

I also saw the condescending response you gave to Gemmaxx when she was clearly feeling bad about speaking to her OH the way she had given that he has been spoiling her, as Mummy to be said, this is a forum about supporting each other, not slagging people off and judging them which is what your OP did, the first sentence had my hackles up.

Hippy - hope things look up for you soon.

I have only read first couple of pages of this trhead, maybe its my pregnant brain being lazy (ahem) but just thought I'd put in my twopence...........I think every pregnancy is different. In this pregnancy I feel a whole lot more perky than I did in my first pregnancy. I also think that if there is anytime a woman should be able to put her feet up and let the man of the house take over a few chores its during pregnancy LOL at end of day make the most of as much rest and feet up as you can get now because once a new little set of lungs are in the house rest is few and far between!
For the women who choose to work full time through their pregnancy, good for you and lucky you that you don't have any of the horrible side effects pregnancy can bring such as spd or high blood pressure which would mean you would be signed off work. I just dont think people should be quick to judge other ladies having a harder time with pregnancy!

Really I have to agree.

And yes, men have feelings too. And you know how DH feels when he's taking care of me? Like the kind of man who takes care of his woman - NOT like a servant, and not "used". You're welcome, DH. Now get me some tea.

I totally agree minky. I love being pampered while pregnant by my hubby and family but I would never take advantage of situation but pregnancy is a special time and one of the few times you really do get to feel that nice glow of being doted on! My hubby is in Afgan at the moment and I think he would pretty much give anything to make me a nice cuppa tea and run me a bath!

We actually play offensive word bingo most days (and I'm serious here) where we see how many times we can refer to each other by various genitalia related words and/or any other hugely offensive and immensely filthy phrases.

It entertains us no end.

On a more "serious" note though, on the other side of the coin, if someone was to start a thread that (for instance) insinuated pregnant women who continued to work/ exercise/ generally behave normally as being neglectful of their unborn child, it would enrage those of you who are doing just that - but it doesn't change the fact that you're all working/ keeping busy for a multitude of reasons, just as those who are resting / "lazy" have different reasons too.

It may be as well to just sometimes walk in another's shoes before judging, as innocent as that initial judgement might seem to you at first xx

Yes, we'll have to stop it soon otherwise Dave's first word is likely to be Twat-eyes.

You have soooo got to go on first tri, there's a thread that claims mums of daughters are more beautiful than mums of boys!!! Nearly got closed down but is still running!
(NB: it is of course completely true though.)
