Last day of work!! Woohoo!!

Hope everyone feels better. Hugs to you brieri... I don't think your dh has lost interest, there's just a lot going on. This is a tough time for the guys too. We've had months of constant reminder of what is happening to our bodies and our lives. I know recently it's been hitting home a little more for my hubby that this is soon. Plus he sees my discomfort and just wants to help. I think we would both feel uncomfortable dtd at this point. And actually I've been the one who has said no pretty much the whole pregnancy. It's not that I don't want to be intimate, I love him more than anything. And we both are saying that when we do finally resume our activities how wonderful it will be to reconnect that way. I hope that all sort of made sense and maybe helps?

I have done WAY too much today. I moved furniture, cleaned up the house, prepared more things for the baby. I think everything is in its place and ready. But now I'm honestly shattered. I feel so far beyond exhausted. I also made the most delicious dinner. DH stuffed himself and kept saying how wonderful it was. I am thinking of soaking down into a tub of warm water to try and ease these aching muscles.

That nesting instinct needs to go away. Today was too much! Hope you ladies have a good night. I'm going to soak and hopefully rest peacefully. DH was given 4 days off so I have my hubby to snuggle up with. Makes sleeping way more wonderful.

Sassy I will gladly take some of your nesting energy . I' m at a level 0 now. I wake up from sleeping in my bed, go eat, then go lay on my couch :/.

Once again, I feel like my husband has lost complete physical interest in me. He still hugs me and kisses me once in a while and wants to cuddle occasionally, but nothing else. He's not interested in doing anything else with me. I feel like we are just friends who happen to be having a baby together sometimes. Its really depressing. Tomorrow is our 1 year anniversary. I didn't realize he would lose interest in me this fast.

Have you tried talking to him about it? I know I was feeling the same about my husand with not wanting to be intimate, but when I asked he said he thought I was uncomfortable and didn't want to hurt me. Things have gotten better since we talked about it. I thought the last thing my husband would want to see is me in lingerie, but boy was I wrong . Maybe pregnant sex does weird your husband out. You can discuss things you can do with each other. At least he will know how you feel.

They said at my appt that they want mums to have the whooping cough jab as they are the most likely person to pass it on to baby, as they are usually the primary care givers, so even if you're not passing anything directly to the baby, they still think its a good idea to have it....

Lilah - Thanks, I know we'll manage one way or another as it has to be done, it's just not quite going to plan! Typical We'll get moving out of the way though & hopefully everyone will have recovered for a lovely Christmas

Like praying said, some men are either afraid they'll hurt you or baby, or they can't get passed the mental part of the baby being in there. Usually men are just scared. I agree you should try talking to him an see where he stands and maybe even take him to a dr appt and ask dr questions about it so he her from the dr its safe.

 

[brieri1]

Thanks for the support, guys. I should just talk to him, but I really don't want to. I feel very unattractive anymore, so its hard for me to confront him about finding me appealing.

In other news, 37 weeks today. So full term. Very cool.

 

[Lauren021406]

ladies I need some advice..I really don't remember feeling the baby kick or move at all yesterday, but i had bh a lot yest...and i woke up today with a crampy stomach and weird pains. should i call dr?

 

[Nikkilewis14]

[Lauren021406]

i know i should call, but this has happened before and hes been fine and i end up feeling stupid

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Dont feel stupid hun, really!! When i was at the docs office yesterday and was having my nst, i to,d them how the past two days i was so achey and in pain in my back, but didnt call since i knew i had to see them anyway the next day, and the nurses said ...if u ever feel something isnt right, even if its silly, just call...it doesnt take more than 20 mins to monitor to tell u baby is ok....

 

[Lauren021406]

[mellywelly]

Do you normally have quiet days? If not, just ring, that's what they are there for.

 

[Lauren021406]

@Lauren: Perfect timing! So glad you had movement.


Wuahaha, ladies. I was trimmed last night. Had a shower, I was dying of shyness, I don't know why I wanted to just cover up haha; hubby got into his position down there and just said: "Well, how was your day?..." and trimmed away. Hahahaha, he got serious though, after a while he was so concentrated. He was really nice about it, I think I was shy because he hasn't been anywhere around my area in a while now, I asked him if it was swollen and he nodded. He also mentioned how dark it had gotten. And I'll stop before it gets TMI lol.

I've been to shy to ask my hubby!
I sat on the edge of the bath this morn with my full length mirror in front of me. Took me ages but it looks much better. Hoping it will keep me going for a few weeks as don't want to have to do it again haha

My shower yesterday took me an hour, because It took me FOREVER to shave my legs! I don't know how long I would of stayed there if I had trimmed vajj myself! I didn't see it later, though. Can't say I know if i'm even and short lol

 

[La Mere]

you girls are so funny! I haven't really needed to shave my legs, thank goodness. Just wax the nether regions On a cold front: it's snowing again... And i'm not getting into town today either. I will take pics of the snow, I didn't really get any of the last snow, but I have to take my 36 week bump pic today too!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

lol I told hubby right now I really dont care what it looks like because i can trim right now, but i even struggle with that, but when its about time for baby to come hes gunna have to get down and dirty and clean me all up lol... he said he would lol.

 

[mellywelly]

Last time dh did mine he kept stepping back and looking like he was about to take a photo I asked him what the hell he was doing, turns out he was jut trying to make sure both sides were symmetrical
