aw so sorry you are snowed under with everything peanut! i am so close to asking to be signed off for a week i am continuously wanting to be sick, and not just wanting to be sick i am keeping it down 24 7 i could literally go at 5.30 i will go and be sick so i can drive for ten mins without feeling like i am about to and i could do it.

working in a restaurant doesnt help, i was so worn out and sick today that i just wanted to cry i think when my dh gets transfered i will ask for a week off and then ask to be transfered to the same place, at least then the restaurant is all on one level as opposed to 3!

really hope the sickness is over at 12 weeks but have sneaky suspicion it will not be

Oh Nomore that what I had, constant nausea from about week 7-8. There were days where I just wanted to be sick and get it over with but it never happened. Have you tried all the usual things like a couple of biscuits before getting out of bed and then Ginger biscuits etc? On the plus side my nausea did go away about week 13

Anyone else having leg cramps at night? I've had them the past week everynight, only in my right leg, but they are so sore I actually cried last night. Pregnancy is clearly making me a wimp

 

[molly85]

:wave: Ladies,

Peanut hon I agree with the other Ladies....a little `you` time is in order I dont mean to be a totally downer or anything but once of the reasons why I am taking Mat Leave early is because I worry that all the stress will have an effect on my labour with Charlie I know I was planning on taking 4wks off before EDD anyways but somehow 9wks seems far better and work will be a distant memory I go figure that although the sacrifice for a working mummy to lose 5wks with her baby is a HUGE one I think that in this circumstance especially regarding a better labour and making sure I am relaxed and ready is far far more important than any workload or work related issues As you know I am currently raising a grievance about a colleagues behaviour towards me and the process it seems may be a long one, infact it may probably take up the rest of my working time before Mat Leave and might just be resolved as I go. I know I need to have a clear head and lets be honest you havent had a smooth running pregnancy either with all the you need to rest because labour is the biggest journey yet to come Couldnt you at least take a few days holiday or something hon

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Oh I too have Charlie using my bladder as a congo drum and I need to pee almost like constantly thats its starting to frig me off too esp in public seeking out the nearest toilet Am like a child whos potty training

I got real annoyed with DH last night over the food shop he did I asked for oranges not frigging tangerines or satsumas, he bought me yogurts with peach melba and raspberry and cranberry pieces in it when in the last 12yrs have I ever bought or had flavoured/lumpy fruit yogurts even the thought of it makes me which he fooking knows and I wanted hot dogs with onions and tom sauce and mustard...now the mustard was particular important BUT did he buy any despite it been on the list, did he fook He said to me `I dont understand what your problem is?` I was livid and turning blue with anger `MY PROBLEM is I spat I`m pregnant, I have an odd appetite, most things make me so I ask for specific food items for a reason...I write a fooking shopping list for a reason what the hell is the point if you dont buy me anything on it!` Later he proceeded to sit and drink a beer and eat a fooking curry, didnt forget his own fooking food now did he He also buys me a cream bun I mean like always so after my disappointing hot dogs because I didnt have any mustard for them I enquired as to what he bought and he said `did you put it on the list!` I nearly damn well jumped on him and screamed `no I fooking didnt but it seems the list is fooking pointless anyway seen as you never buy me anything I write on it!` Honestly I will do my own food shopping in future!

I think I'm depressed I don't feel like going out and doing anything. I see no point in getting out of bed or even changing into everyday clothes. I miss my family so much and I feel so useless since I'm not working. Normally I'm wanting to do everything and keep really busy, but I'm just content laying in bed and sleeping....*sigh* Sorry, just needed to get that all out.

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Oh Ozzieshunni Sorry your feeling blue too

Lots of blue Ladies around me included `sigh`

Hi all. I've been asleep on the settee with everything going on around me for about an hour. Odd time for it. Just stirring so I go hang out the washing and see Byron before bed. I even slept through him clambering on me and I started just sitting up!

Sorry you're feeling so down Ozzie, I find pregnancy makes me feel like that a lot but haven't really any advice for how not to.

Madly I'm already finishing 6 weeks before my due date. I really want to be able to see LO's first birthday before returning to work. If it helps I spent my last pregnancy being screamed at by the neighbour and receiving highly threatening solicitors letters from her. It was just horrendous. I felt so stressed just being in the house knowing she was in. At least I'm compensating for all this a bit by resting and working from home. It could be worse...

Lol at your dog Molly. Is she a messy eater?

 

[MoonLove]

I already had a rubbish bladder so its not much worse. if i get 2 hours out of it i am happy

Me too, i honestly haven't noticed any change to my bladder in the past few weeks

Oh bless you hon I hope things sort themselves out for both of us

My colleague doesnt know about the grievance yet and probably wont until at the earliest a week tomorrow as my boss needs to speak to his boss and me again at the end of the week BUT am sure it will go down like a bull in a china shop I think it will add to the atmosphere tbh but hey ho am not working in that area and can avoid as nessecary.

 

[pinkclaire]

Sorry a few of you feel blue, I felt like this at the start of the weeks but fine now bloody hormones!

So I was trying to think what I could post that would cheer everyone up and all I could think of was doughnuts yum, but then remembered your peanut so that was a rubbish idea!

I know how about photos of stuff we've bought for our new LOs? Xx

 

[MoonLove]

Just wanted to say - i won the pram we were watching on ebay yay!

Its this one: https://www.toysrus.co.uk/Babies-R-...terling-I-Love-My-Bear-Travel-System(0076974)

We got it for £125 brand new on ebay xx

 

[madcatwoman]

madly, your post re-shopping list was absolutely hilarious to read! whether you ment it to be or not, but you have given me a right old proper chuckle!!!

 

[PeanutBean]

Bleurgh I don't like doughnuts when I'm not pregnant! lol

I've hoovered and tidied and Byron went quickly to sleep so DH just needs to quickly do the kitchen (which he's nearly done) then it cereal and Boosh in bed.

I'm going to think very long and hard about how we can manage financially so that I have more options for leaving this job after my leave. I don't think I've mentioned to you ladies yet but DH has become an official journalist! He emailed one of the two new comic magazines in the UK (one is totally crap and eventually one will fold, hopefully not his!) with ideas of a regular feature and they were well impressed and took him on. He's using twitter and things to get in touch with all his favourite comic artists and writers and setting up loads of interviews with them for the magazine. It's fab! Money hasn't been mentioned yet but we're hoping that it will be, at least if he does one or two sterling articles. (Having read his new blog he is very good at this sort of thing, which I didn't know before.) The main thing is that it puts him in this world which he has wanted to be a part of for about 8 years or so. Getting these things published will get him better known and thus help with getting his book sold. It's all good news and he is confident that to some extent he will be earning some money from writing by the end of this year. The magazine is here: https://www.screamhorror.com/

Lovely pram Gem

madcat he has well and trult fooked me off and he just admitted too that he didnt buy lettuce for my chicken wraps I want to know why cause it was on that damn list.....its beyond me its quite simple as long as you buy everything on your dear pregnants wifes list anything else you buy is ok I mean come on how hard is it to follow a written list honestly

 

[PeanutBean]

Weird I posted a big reply and it's been flagged for moderation. Never had that happen before! Hope it appears soon...

 

[PeanutBean]

Aw Madly. Luckily for me DH does all the shopping really anyway. I'll take it over again when I'm on leave and have time and energy to think about meals more. But I still do the same as you and am all "what do you mean you don't have taco shells?" It doesn't matter if I wasn't eating them last week I think he should get all these things ready for when the desire takes me!
