Oh good luck starz xxx

 

[sethsmummy]

Started losing my plug this morning but no "show" yet. Contractions were every 20 mins or so and now around 8-10. Might be the start of something! We're having a snowstorm today (go figure) so OH is coming home early in case we need to go to hospital

oooooo I hope this is it for you hun!! Good luck

Krafty - i hope things move along for you hun. do you have to have another section when you get to 40 weeks? xxx

 

[skeet9924]

good luck starz!!! hopefully your lo will be here soon!!!

 

[skeet9924]

Skeet im the same! a few days ago i had to really struggle to go... but since yesterday iv been going more than usual.

argh one thing not to do at 38 weeks is play football! OMG serious lightening crotch hahaa was playing football with ds at the park.. had to walk on my tip toes so it didn't hurt so much xx

maybe its a good sign for us!!! lol there is no way i'd play football right now!! just walking around i get lightening crotch.. i was up so early this morning because my lo had hiccups and was doing something to my crotch cause it was so uncomfortble

 

[sethsmummy]

aww bless i think hiccups are amusing now ds2 is starting to engage (4/5th palpable).. they feel so funny. I loved playing football First time iv ran in a few months lol... but shant be doing it again. Have you managed to get a nap through the day? x

 

[skeet9924]

The one thing i do find neat about the hiccups is i can tell exactly how my lo is sitting in my tummy.. head down body to my right side and a foot or a knee sticking out the left ( always!!) I find it funny when my whole tummy bounces!! I'm thinking maybe next week once my pup is a little better I'm going to get more active and try and get things going...maybe try and convince oh for a little lol although i think he wants the lo to stay in me longer

I'm sure i will get a chance to get a nap today... Have to wait until oh wakes up though he's currently taking a nap..I think he's getting sympathy heartburn!! He was up at 4 am being sick from it and just finally fell back asleep now at 11:00am.. Due to all of my pups medications and feedings she's on a tight schedule so i need her to watch her while i sleep

 

[sethsmummy]

my little guy is exactly the same position! ooo good luck.. i hope the :Sex: works.. 3 rounds in 12 hours did nothing for me lol. Poor dh was exhausted haha and has told me "no more"

awww bless him! have you had bad heartburn hun? I get it every night at the moment.. hoping it means little man has a full head of hair lol. Poor pup.. what is wrong with him/her? xxx

 

[skeet9924]

I get heart burn all the time!! I was so happy ob told me I could take zantac..it was a life saver!!! I was up being sick every night because of it.

My dog just had major surgery. Originally she ate a ribbon off of a balloon from my baby shower..but i guess since it was up setting her tummy she went around looking for other things to eat and since the snow has covered all of our grass she ate a sock and branches from my cedar tree. The ribbon ended up getting tangle around the sock in her tummy and a branch of the cedar tree got stuck in her intestines and pierced them. She ended up having surgery to remove it all from her. It was a very costly vet visit. My oh and i had such a crap weekend..the day i was in the vet we got a calls saying that his nana was not going to make it much longer so he had to go visit her 4 hrs away while i was left to deal with the pup. She ended up passing away on monday I'm just happy my pup made it through the surgery and i didnt have to put her down..i dont think i could have handled losing both

 

[sethsmummy]

aww hun i am so sorry to hear that she passed away That must have been very hard! I am glad the vet managed to save your pup though, she must have been in so much pain with all of that in her! Its amazing what dogs eat
It sounds as though you have had a very very hard week hun. I am sending you lots of good luck vibes You deserve to have lots of good luck after such a horrid time xxxx

 

[AmyB1978]

skeet, so sorry for your loss. I am glad your pup is okay though and hope he's all better soon.

starz, sounds promising, good luck!

Skeet

Having a stressed out time at the moment. Bloomin' OH doing my head in. I have been holding my tongue and waiting for things for ages, stuff I need to do before baby is here and Ive had to wait and wait so now I have a big list because I keep forgetting and the last three nights I have been awake stressing. I showed OH list so he knows what we need to get in next few weeks and he just said 'I'm worrying over nothing and stuff that doesn't matter' well it matters to me you stupid git. I'm sick of having to be thrifty with my £10 week lunch money to by the odd bit here and there for baby. I'm just sick of it, plus my daughter is supposed to be going to a new nursery in a few weeks and needs some indoor pumps, which he has known about for ages, I put it on the list and he's like 'hmmm Im not sure about that' WE NEED THEM. Sure it's ok for you to get all the bits for you stupid car and beg and borrow for that - what about your family for a change! Ive put up with it as for months I have been promised 'soon' yet the time is here and I'm still sat here waiting. Just fed up and I'm told to stop stressing and I'm being silly. I really wanted to clean baby's clothes as well but I can't and we can't afford the laudarette, he says give it to his Mum. I don't want to, okay I may be irrationally selfish on this one but I wanted to do it all myself not rely on his f-in mother to do it. Take the only joy I have for preparing for baby why don't you you ignorant git. I can't even explain as he just doesn't get it. Utterly and completely fed up and now I know it will be night number 4 I can't sleep for being so wound up. The joy!

 

[AmyB1978]

/kte, sorry you are having such a tough time.your Oh needs a kick in the bum!

 

[sethsmummy]

kte your oh needs a serious kick up the arse hun!! Tell him he cant have any more bits for himself or his car until everything off your list is done!! He sounds really selfish and slap him around the ears for the comment about the pumps! Your daughter needs them for nursery :S Men are so bloody stupid sometimes i swear down. The last think you need at this stage is to be left worrying over a huge list of things that you still need to buy/need to do. Wish i could give him a slap for you hun

 

[rose.]

What a sod kte!! Luckily I control all our finances - my husband doesn't like the hassle! It would drive me mad if I had to ask him whenever I want something. Men can be very selfish sometimes - thankfully with us if OH wants something he asks me first. We do both work but my husband earns a lot more than me, but he is still happy for me to do the banking. Hope he bucks up his ideas soon!! And I can completely understand you wanting to do your own washing!

Sorry for your loss
Glad to hear your dog is ok
I have a chocolate lab and he swallowed a sock not long ago. I saw him do it so we were able to get to vet for them to make him vomit and bring up the sock.

GL ladies with their LO's on the way

Skeet

 

[sportysgirl]

Skeet, sorry for your loss. I hope your dog is feeling better soon. We are taking ours for a op 2moro so hoping all is ok.

Kte, sorry your having a shit time with your OH. They dont seem to understand what we are going through and can be very selfish sometimes. My hubby is very laid back and doesn't see the rush in anything which can be frustrating sometimes as I am very organised. Hope things are better soon.

 

[skeet9924]

Oh kte. that is so frustrating .. My oh has been putting things off to.. He's off work this week so I wrote him a giant list and left it.. He's actually gotten a lot done .. Hopefully your oh starts getting stuff done for you!!

Starz- my dog had eaten socks before and thrown them up.. This is the first time it caused issue but the ribbon wrapped around it and the stick blocked its way through .. Needless to say I'm officially vet broke lol

 

[Lou1234]

Skeet sorry for your loss.

Kte sorry OH is being such a pain.

Starzz - all sounds good and promising! I spent quite a while bouncing on my ball today. I really want to meet my baby soon!

 

[Kte]

Thanks ladies. Yeah we had a row over it all, he drives me mad as I tell him stuff is needed in advance and he just forgets or thinks we have more time (3 weeks to go!) I used to be in charge of the money but I got fed up because he gets paid weekly and depending on his shifts depends how much he gets and most stuff goes out monthly. So it's a constant call around companies and 'rob peter to pay paul' kind of affair sometimes. Plus I was doing pretty much everything else in the house as well as working full time and looking after our LO so enough was enough! He needed some responsibility! He has slowly gotten better but is rubbish when it comes to just needing this and that for his car. It's £7 here and there but it all adds up and he just doesn't think and when I complain he said it will make us money in the long run - er not for another 3 /4 years at least (he wants to open his own VW restoration garage - oh gawd business accounts, I think not!). I'm just trying to get by in the here and now! I'm certainly going to get child benefit switched over to my own account soon though! Things will be fine once we don't have the 150 a week nursery bills going out and we just had a MOT and the camper and car to tax to pay out so we are thin on funds and it just sent me up a tree with worry!

I'm compromising with the washing too, I'm going to keep out a few choice outfits for baby and then MIL can wash all the spare vests (I have a huge bag full from when Chloe was a baby). That way I still get to do the special items and get them ready rather than not be involved at all
