Ladies, are mood swings normal now?
I've just spent the last 30 minutes cleaning in tears of frustration at my v messy other half. I love him to bits and normally it just wouldn't bother me that he's not taken the cardboard box out of the dining room and put it in the bin, but for some reason it was all too much today!!

And don't get me started on the nesting

I have just had a blazing row with my DH too - because I have been snapping at everyone today and he told me to stop being so crabbit
the reason my darling I AM crabbit AND snappy is because :

1) I got up this morning to dishes and an untidy kitchen cos my DD decided that her and her pal wanted a midnight snack and never cleaned up after themsleves
2) I get up, get on with things, despite being in pain and all I get from you, DH is ow ow ow my arm hurts today -well sorry but f*ck you today -go and take your painkillers, anti imflammatories, anti anxiotilics, and other meds that the doc CAN give you for pain -I' ll have 2 paracetemol and just get on with it AGAIN!!!!! Then you sleep all the bloody time cos you are spaced out on the meds.
3) I go and get the shopping, on crutches still in pain as you are p*ssing me off so much sleeping and /or moaning (being a martyr I know)
4) stupid mutt dog of yours, has ripped open a binbag out the bag and I have to tidy that up too

But the biggest thing, and probably the whole picture really -DH's paternity leave started YESTERDAY!!! and he is nonchalently accepting this as normal practice. Baby could still be another 15 days and then what stupid bloody man?


Aaaaaarrgghhh -Now I am SO pissed with the whole world and the phone is ringing and I am refusing to answer it cos I dont want to spk to anyone- I am NOT EVEN OVERDUE YET!!! and I am being a nightmare.

So HORMONAL a bit???? lol lmao you could say that!!

Am with you there today! I do all the housework and would just appreciate an offer or 'do you need a hand' but haven't had either. I'm so cross, especially as I've just cleaned the oven, feel thoroughly sick and I know it'll need another go..but guess who'll have to do it.

He made a comment the other day when I said it was getting really dusty in the house of "well it will do now that I'm not helping out as much" I had to walk away... I've always done everything, he sometimes runs the hoover around but only when asked and has never realised that I hoover during the week too. I'd understand if he'd never lived on his own but he's bloody ex-Army and lived on his own for a good couple of years!!

I've just had to hoover downstairs too as my request for "can you run the hoover around" apparently only applied upstairs in our house yesterday. I dropped dinner on Saturday too getting it out of the oven. It was too heavy and I felt something pull so dropped it. DH did help clear up the floor but it was with huffing and I had to clean the oven today (went everywhere!). Just getting fed up of having to do everything and not even getting an offer of help. He can see how big I am, he knows I'm 10 days overdue, he can see how swollen I am but is completely oblivious or is just choosing not to acknowledge that he's being waited on hand and foot. He even had the cheek to say on Saturday that he was BORED!! It'll be an almighty shock once baby's here... rant over!

I've just re-read this and realised what a moaner I am today. It usually doesn't bother me and I feel like I can still do everything, I'd just appreciate an offer you know.. Stupid hormones, he's not even that bad when I think about it.

That's very strange. Why yesterday?

Awww wannababa cheer up hun. Men hey who needs then?! Big hugs hun!

I no the feeling though 2day hun. I have been asking my DH to clear the front garden now for about 4weeks and he still hadnt done it bear in mnd he has had plenty of time to do it when i wud take DS out with me and he wud sit on his bum and watch tv. He decided to go out and do it with our son for me to look out the window 5mins ago and it looks worse than what it did to start off with! Argh Men! i will be glad when i have had bby so i can do things myself again. x

 

[kirstylm]

Oh Hun u are so NOT over reacting!! My mood has much to be desired at the moment too but I don't have hubby at home all day, kids to look after and I'm not on crutches or have spd so I think ur coping amazingly from the sounds of it!
I know it's hard but please don get too worked up don't want u doing yourself any harm and I also read that if ur calm and relaxed baby is likely to come quicker and easier. Whether this is true or not who knows. I'm not overdue till Wednesday either but I feel grouchy too and things that normally don't bother me are really getting under my skin!
I so know what u mean about the phone too I don't answer it half the to
e either as most of the time it's people asking me how I'm feeling and have I popped yet!!!! Grrrrrr!!!!
Hope u feel better soon hunny xxx

Glad it's not just me ladies- I'm just peed off that he's sat on his lazy butt watching football and golf and motor racing all weekend while I did all of the cooking, washing and washing up etc. And the one thing I asked him to do- clear the dining room (which is just one big dumping ground) is still like a bomb has hit it!!
I wouldn't care, but my one stipulation when we moved the computer in there in order to make room for the nursery, was that it didn't turn into one big messy office for him- which is exactly what it is right now... Argh!!

AND! I've just sent him a grumpy text saying I was leaving that room for him, which I now feel guilty about

Bless- he's not that bad.. He did spend most of sat pm running up and down stairs with cools drinks and flannels for me when I felt ill

Wannabubba- that's a real pain- why can't they start his leave when you've had your son?! Though I do understand it must be a nightmare for employers.. My dh is having to divide tasks into thumbs he can get done before baby and those projects he's going to leave til after!

 

[Janidog]

Im still a miserable cow cause im still working and I keep having customers email me about quotes or contacting for information, yes im happy that we're busy but my brain is so scrabbled that i can't remember a thing and its all demand demand demand!!!!! Even when i go on Mat leave at 39 weeks i'll still be working, but just from home!!!!

Hi - actually meant today - lost a day somewhere lol -they are taking it as 2 weeks paterntiy due from my week of estimated confinement. They only have a small amount of asst managers and cannot have too many off at the same time unfortunately -which I am sure is true for many places of work tbh. He also has 1 weeks annual leave too, so 3 weeks from today and I know its the height of the summer hols and ALL staff need time off with their families etc but it's crazy to think DH could have had 2 weeks off before baby gets here, and then only one left for afterwards.

But there's nothing either of us can do about it -it is just putting me under increasing pressure ' to perform' and pop out this lil one lmao and I was just being a right bitch earlier on - read back my post lol This better not go on another 2 weeks haha ,we'll end up divorced

My sis has just been to visit and calmed me down a bit and helped put all into perspective haha -and broguht lots of choccie biscuits - always helps too

Thanks for letting me rant ladies xxx hugs to all xxx hope everyone is doing okay xxxx

That's strange. The whole point of paternity leave is for the dad to bond with the baby and help the mother. How can he do this when bubs hasn't arrived.

DH's maternity leave starts when I pop. I thought that was the common practice?

 

[Tudor Rose]

oh heck ladies hope your all feeling ok soon. ive been a blubbering wreck crying at everything. think im just fed up with being pregnant now

kids have brought thier school reports and they are both outstanding. so treat for tea tonight or tomorrow DS wants mcdonalds DD wants KFC.

We are still ever hopeful we'll have the baby by the end of this week - so no pressure on me eh?? haha

Done the pineapple, DTD, nipple stimulation, curries, RLT (yuk - getting sick of it now haha ) and bouncing bouncing and more obuncing on my ball -well as much as my pelvis can handle before the pain is TOO much - what else ladies?????? I think me being stressed today has probably put things back another few days at least ,my poor wee baby will be wanting to stay where he is. Out of the firing line lmao

Well done to your kids getting excellent report cards Tudor Rose -enjoy your special celebratory tea/ dinner

Janidog - cant believe you are still working -I have been off FOREVER and actually a bit jealous of you now too

Have you tried going for a huge long walk? I always feel stirrings when I go walk about.

 

[wannabubba#4]

Crossroads- my spd is killing me today -hence the grumpy mood probably, so I am limited to what I can do and where I can go -especially as I was being a martyr earlier on and doing things I really shouldn't haha - but thanks anyway xxx

I wasn't going to go on mat leave until labour started, but my job can be quite stressful at times and thought if i stay at work then my LO will never arrive It does keep me occupied but sometimes i would like to get out of bed and not have to worry about answering another bloody phone call or email I would love more time off but then I'll probably be bored

 

[mightyspu]

am also having a grrrrrrrrrr day. Need to go to the hospital to be checked out. I bet you they tell me I have peed myself. I know where pee comes from and what it smells/feels like. Will update when I get back.

Sorry you ladies are having a bad day. Sometimes it doesn't matter what anyone does you just feel like ripping people's heads off!

They tried to convince me of that too when I told them it was only a trickle. But you can pee out of two different holes. They did test me though and yup. waters.

Good luck! xx

Congrats on your little girl!!! She's adorable!

They had this swab that turns purple-ish if it's waters. Mine actually did work (dud test), so they put it under a microscope and looked at it and it was.

WOW! July babies are coming in thick and fast now!
