[medic9114fun]

I am in a totally shitty mood tonight. Feeling so overwhelmed. I know my DH will not have the baby's bedroom painted or anything set up before she arrives and I'm just plain pissed off about it. I hate the stupid house we live in (purchased from his mother with plenty of her shit still in it) and I feel like I'm wasting my maternity leave just sitting around not able to do anything bc the rooms aren't done. FED UP!!!

I totally 110% know how you feel!

We bought a new property and still have our house. Right now my mom lives upstairs and shares our kitchen and bathroom. We were supposed to move ourselves before Christmas but there was issues in our sverance and we just close last week

Plan was to finish a bedroom and move my mom. Not happening. No real reason on hubby's part but too much to do. Now looks like we are moving but no til march after baby.
So now stuck in our house with my mom and hubby. I want to cry and scream but there isn't anything I can do about it

I am so bored and fed up and tired today
I don't know what to do with myself

 

[Katiie]

I'm bored.
Fed up.
Miserable.
Uncomfortable.
Pained.
Grossed out.
Feel dirty.
Have a head ache.

The list continues.

Aww medic, that must be really difficult. I would go NUTS living with my mother. Hope things with the other house start wrapping up soon! Xx

 

[allforthegirl]

I couldn't live with my mother as well. Though with my first two pg I did practically live with her for the last three weeks of my pg. Also a partial with my third, before we found new house. i avoid going over there unless there is other people there now LOL

I don't think I could live with my mother! We had to stay with my parents for 5 days when Hurricane Sandy hit in 2012. It was a nightmare! And then we stayed with my mil for 5 days and that was honestly like hell on earth. I just want to empty this house out of all the junk we don't use, need, or have room for! Most of it isn't ours. But my husband is somewhat of a hoarder. Ugh !! Good luck to you in the next few months Medic! I hope it goes quickly for you!

Thanks. Yes my mom and I have a difficult relationship. We get along great when we are in separate houses. She's been living with us for a year now.
There were some perks as she paid off the house we currently live in but it is really tough.
Hubby and I feel like we have no time to ourselves. I understand it's a new town ect and she doesn't know anyone here but she also doesn't go out and do anything. Fingers are crossed we can get the new place sorted ASAP.

I feel horrible for hubby. Although when we first got together we lived with his dad for a year

Feels better to get it out

Meh, I feel so depressed been trying to fight it but I really do, the lack of sleep and constant umcomfortableness obviously aren't helping, but I am really starting to feel down I have no energy, no motivation to do anything, feel like I could burst into tears at any point don't wanna tell anyone though I just don't know what to do with myself

I'm with you hun, due date tomorrow and nothing happening except lots of random pains that aren't becoming regular. Can't sleep, tearful and everytime I stand up feels like he might fall out of me (which actually would be quite nice!) Have no idea how I'm going to get through labour like this... Also putting on a brave face as DH is so worried about me already I don't want him to feel worse.
We'll be ok, nearly there now and just keep focusing on that first cuddle

I am so worried about post natal depression too even though I am so excited and happy to meet her, whenever she decided to make her appearance, depression runs in my family my auntie and cousin are bipolar, several others are clinically depressed and feeling like this now is making me worry x
I have forced myself up and going out with my mum and sisters in a minute just to get out x I want to know how long they leave you go past due date now, with me, my mum was 14 day's late and induced, bit on my sister they were only going to let her go 10 days over at the most, might ask midwife on weds and pray stretch and sweep works lol xx

 

[3xBlessed]

I don't want to scare you ladies but I was 13 days late with my first. But I wasn't uncomfortable or complaining to my doctors about being overdue. Maybe they would have induced earlier if I were.

Ksilme, it's good you know your family's history with depression...make sure you talk to your doctor if you have any signs you area struggling with PPD immediately. My cousin waited 8 months to say something to her doctor. She didnt need to suffer that long.

 

[allforthegirl]

ksilme - have you thought of placenta encapsulation? if you have a risk of PND (I do as I have had it twice now) this can greatly reduce the affects of it. I have heard NOTHING but good things about it and I will be doing it this time. I don't want PND and have to raise five. Plus it will helps with milk production.

AFM well I have made it to my due date (12 week u/s date) my EDD that my cycle gave me is the 6th which is what the Dr is going by, so I know I will be given an extra four days before I go in for induction. Please please oh please no induction ok baby???

 

[ksilme]

No one in the family has ever had PND specifically, but depression in general is pretty prominent gonna keep an eye on everything x It is probably just because I am so fed up now and just want to meet her xx

 

[Likklegemz]

I'd hate to be overdue, although I reckon that's going to be the case! Doctors here won't let you get more than 10 days +1 overdue so I now that baby will be here by 21st February!

I'm so bloated at the moment, and oddly having period like pain cramps - anyone else experiencing this?

Oh and I feel sick but I reckon that's because I couldn't stop eating before!

X x x x

 

[Dancerforlife]

Welp it's my due date! And yes, I expect I'll be going overdue. Did a ton of walking last night and had some regular contractions but once i stopped with the walking they died down

At least DH and I will make it to the super bowl party tonight haha so he's happy about that. Furthest they'll let me go is next weekend so I have one more week to go naturally. Come on baby, don't make me have another induction!

Yes! I've been having lots of period pains for couple of weeks now, apparently a good sign that things are starting to happen, just wish they would happen sooner!! Mine are definitely ramping up, have my first sweep on Tuesday so hoping that'll tip me over into proper contractions...

 

[allforthegirl]

I don't know how long they will wait until induction here. But am I seriously going to fight is as long as I can. Though while DH was massaging my perineum I asked him while he was gloved to check and he couldn't find my cervix. I hope that means that I am completely effaced!!

 

[baby1wanted]

Ok so have had a really bad time with period type cramps and back pain tonight and have just had my bloody show.... Never in this whole LTTTC, miscarryinf, bleeding in early pregnancy etc did I EVER think I'd be happy to see blood on the tissue paper
Desperately hoping this turns into labour soon...

 

[3xBlessed]

Good luck baby1wanted! Hope things get moving for you!

I think this is going to be a big week for this group! Just hope I'm not one of those that goes into labor this week! Lol. Not ready yet!
