Awh, is this something that has happened recently? Since being pregnant? or is this how you felt before. It could just be the hormones, I would waiit it out and see because you may regret any decision made while your body is raging full of preggy hormones, cos usually those decisions aren't very rational. I have made decisions whilst pregnant in the past that I regretted afterwards and I totally blame the hormones. Its almost like I just wasn't myself.

I could be wrong though, but personally I would just wait and see and try and make it work out especially if you cared about him before you got pregnant.

My OH has no aspirations in life either and it pisses me off. He will quite happily stack shelves for a living and he changes his mind every 5 seconds on what he wants to do (my oh is 4 years younger so I should expect that) but I mean he just started a course because he wanted to go into IT but now hes decided he hates it after 3 months and wants to go back to stacking shelves arrrrggh the rage!! lol but I guess I knew what he was like to start with so some things I just have to accept as part of who he is I too have days of not caring about him also, but I know in my case its purely hormonal.

He has said to you he is willing to do whatever it takes, tell him what you need and give him a chance at least. If he can't do it and you still feel the same way then by all means live your life how you want to live it, but you never know. Having a child changes everything and this could be his motivation to do something with his life.

Today I am in food heaven! I brought the wrong icing for my sons cake, instead of the rollable white icing I got the almond one and it smelt so great I was loving rolling it out!!
I managed to make black icing and red icing and I found some white too in the end so I have all the icing ready for the cake.

I made home made ice cream, well I have yet to test it out, but I added cream to some home made yoghurt and have put that in the freezer and been stirring it every half hour or so hopefully it turns out!

I am in the process of making a 3 coloured jelly thing I have one colour in the mold already and just waiting for that to set so I can do the next layer!

I also have my two chocolate fudge cakes baked and now in the freezer getting ready for me to cut into a car shape!

And now I am kinda tired but also really excited about this birthday thing. I love birthdays!! oh yeah II made cream cheese icing too nom nom nom. Guess where a lot of that ended up? lols

congrats on all the twins & triplets!!! It so lovely.
My husband keeps thinking that we are having twins, as i have been more sick this time around. But i think i would be even more sick than this!! Hope you are all well. Dont get on here much & the thread moves so quickly. Scan 3 weeks 2moro. Still seems ages away yet. xxx

Front page is updated now. Im sooo tired! Bring on 5pm! Wanna go home and sleep! Roll on November!

waves you're obviously going through turmoil right now. big hugs hon. i do agree with zephyr though, pregnancy hormones are mind bending and i think you should hang on just a bit. everything is exagerated x a million with these hormones (i've had a real touch of the glums myself) and it's natural to doubt everything - but i don't reckon you should make any decisions just yet. but do try to talk to your oh or a friend - just letting it out in person can help?

zephyr - love your new avatar! hope the party went well - sounds like you worked v hard for your wee one. hope you not too tired.

anti - i'm with ya - roll on Nov!!! i'm on holiday this wk for the school hols, but am wondering if i'd actually be better at work to make the time go past. nov = 12wks so bring it on!

hey to everyone else in the may gang!

afm - have some difficult decision to make re telling work. i abosutely do not want them to know yet but i have to make a number of business trips/flights and just do not want to undertake them if i'm feeling so rubbish as i am now. will have one short trip in couple of wks - will only be 10wks & it should only be short flight/stay but if i've got this nausea i'm dreading it. dh is advising me to tell my boss but i don't know..... anyhow i have a big pot of veg soup which on the hob which i'm craving along with tuna sandwiches! off to stir the veg......

hi rjsmam - i recently flew from the UK to Australia (via singapore one way and bangkok the other) i was only 4-6 weeks but had very bad nausea and tiredness - i just told the staff and they were soooo helpful. i also booked wheelchair assistance (caus i have arthritis but it was great cause i was just sooooo tired lol) i just told anyone who would listen and let them do the hard work in travelling for me good luck tho xxx

 

[rjsmam]

thanks Islander! your trip sounds awesome - were you on holiday?

i don't mind the travelling so much and have already done two trips away (I actually got my bfp in a hotel room by myself lol) it's more the loooong days involved. the early flight on a monday means a 4.30am start and usually my boss has us in the office til at least 8 then followed by more long days.... just not sure i wanna do that if you know what i mean.... but maybe i'll just suck it up & get on with it lol

 

[Islander]

it was an almost holiday - was only there for 10 days!it was my best friends hen night and wedding! took me 7 das travelling (there and back) including 24 hours on a boat (12 hour ferry from shetland to aberdeen, then back again lol) so, yeah, i get what u mean about long days etc

 

[rjsmam]

wowees what a trip! am sure it was worth it though!

Hi ladies,

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Lots of you seem to be going through really tough times at the moment so I am really sorry to hear that and sending lots of good vibes to you all.

Tiredness has settled a little this week and don't seem as hungry or nauseous. Apart from feeling bloated, still no big pregnancy symptoms to comment on. Waiting to hear from my midwife now for our first appointment and trying to decide if I should go for a private scan at 9 weeks as I am still worried that something has gone wrong inside. Found a place where they do them for £59 which is more affordable than £100. Plus I am really impatient, it would bridge the gap quite nicely between now and 12 weeks.

Quite excited about seeing the midwife as I guess that will make it all seem real.

Hope some of you have better weeks this week x

I was exhausted by the end of the day! the party and the cake was a success my boy was happy! by 3pm though I was conked out in bed. My mum showed up at 4pm and in my half asleep state i flew out of bed so fast that my feet got tangled in the blanket and I face planted the floor LOL there was a blanket there to catch my face so I didn't hurt myself and luckily only my 10 year old saw. She walked past my door just as I did it and did a double take "muuuum are you alright?!" then she laughed at me haha

I have been craving ready salted potato chips really badly....Not the chip part, just the salty part I'm worred if I keep eating them Ill put on too much weight but they are so yummy. I just wish I would crave something healthy! With my son it was mandarins and I brought a kilo a day! and my daughters were blackberries and gooseberries and crunchy bananas (yes, half ripe bananas that had a crunch to them ewwwww)

I've barely seen my nausea at all its has slowly gone, occasionally I feel really ill though but not as much as before.

Hows everyone else doing? Hope everyone has had a great weekend!

 

[YoungNImum]

Hey all, god i cant open my fridge without heaving
The sicky feeling is taking over and i feel rather drained
On the plus side iv got to see doc on wednesday and get a scan booked
I hope everyone is well

And wow i think this must be the Baby+1 thread so happy for you girls who are having more than 1 little surprise congrats x

 

[wavescrash]

thanks ladies. it was mostly hormones talking but i just needed to get that all out. zephyr, glad the birthday went well!!!

i have to work tomorrow morning and that will make 6 days in a row. i'm so drained and worn out and frustrated with co-workers. add that to feeling sick 24/7 and i'm flat out miserable. i have a feeling a decent part of my nausea is thanks to the constipation but i just can't seem to go. fiber supplements just make me gassy and feel even worse. i just want to clean out my intestines completely already haha.

i go back to my doc on thursday at 10 weeks so i plan to mention it all to her but i just want to curl into a ball and cry until then. this nausea is so unreal anymore

hope you're all feeling better than i am!

 

[ClaireRSA]

Morning ladies
having ANOTHER scan this moring had a few more drops of bright red blood yesterday blood. Feeling very nervous!
My poor husband...I nearly dragged him off to his clinc last night (he is a vet) to ultrasound me...haha...but then I thought that would not be a good idea, incase we saw a prob. Anyway, i'll keep you posted. have a lovely day.

[anti]

Good luck Claire - let us know how you get on. Im sure everything is fine.

Im still so tired! Was in bed at half 8 last night and its not even 8 this morning and Im already falling asleep! Work is going to be difficult for the next few weeks I think! Really struggling with the tiredness!

 

[ClaireRSA]

Ok so I really think they need to start writing a text book about me.
I saw the Doc and the baby is now measuring 9w4d...my very original age with due date 11 May...and she saw that i have a heart shaped uterus...which I knew about from my last pregnancy...BUT...in the other half of the "heart" is another, empty sac...WTF! She said that that is where the bleeding probably is coming from and that she hopes it will just be re-absorbed. If it does want to come out there is a chance it will pull the other baby out. *SOB* Why me! My last preg was a 2nd trimester loss from a VERY rare conditon...what are the chances of something else so odd happenig to me again!

but on the bright side my baby's heart beat was 180bpm!

Claire

All My positive thoughts are with you that everything works out ok, and May 2012 is the best May ever!

Claire - thinking of you. Keep strong! Let us know how you're getting on.

 

[rjsmam]

Claire so sorry you're going through these troubles.... that strong heartbeat sounds very positive - sending more positive vibes that you have no more bleeding....

[YoungNImum]
