October/November Conkers 2021***

@Mummy2Corban I’m exactly the same. I go to bed around 9/10 and will sleep till just after midnight then from there nothing.
 
Rant coming

Why are men so clueless. DP decided to tell me on Monday he’s making reservations for us for dinner on Friday, it’s my birthday. At first I was kind of annoyed, I don’t feel like dressing up or going out but I decided not to say anything because he’s gone through all the effort and just want to show some appreciation. Tonight he lets me know not only did he choose his favourite pub, but he’s invited his boss boss’s wife.

i tried to show him how inappropriate that is, because 1 my birthday, 2 I’ve never met this boss (new one) nor his wife, 3. Pregnant and miserable and not really good company, his response was ‘I thought it be fun we could all get together eat and laugh, why are you hating?’

Grrrrrr!!!
 
@daniyaaq men have these lovely ideas and the thought is there but they don’t actually properly think it through! It would be nice to go out for dinner but I can see your issue with the boss/wife situation and being preggo!
 
@Mummy2Corban Your bump looks amazing

@daniyaaq I can understand the frustration, the thoughts there but I wouldn’t want birthday dinner with boss/boss wife

Nothing exciting on my end, got midwife for 32 week check today been thinking about washing baby clothes but want to get a couple more pieces then do it in one.
 
@Mummy2Corban fabulous bump pic! Looking great!! Think baby will come soon?

@daniyaaq i would be frustrated too. Sometimes husbands mean well but don’t get it. I don’t think they realize how exhausting pregnancy can be. I’ve told DH more than once that take out dinner would be more fun to me than going to a restaurant and dealing with dressing up, uncomfortable car rides, waiting on food, etc, but he insists we should go out when we can before we have a newborn around again. I see his side too. It’s a tricky balance.

Nothing new here. Appointment tomorrow at 33 weeks, but only a weigh in and blood pressure check this time.
 
Sorry ladies my phone browser blocked this site! Had my waters broke about an hour ago, I'm 4cm and just waiting for baby to come! X
 
@playgirl666 wont be long now! My babies always come quickly after my water is broken. Good luck today!!!
 
If I don't start contractions by 5.40 then they are putting me on a drip! Really didn't want that but I thought I would have been in labour by now :( x
 
@playgirl666 youve done amazing so far. If your already 4cm and you’ve had your waters broken your already nearly half way there! Hopefully you start contracting so you don’t need the drip.
 
@sil thanks lovely. I’m telling baby to stay put! To many poorly babies for another one to join us. Hope all goes ok with your midwife appointment
 
Still no contractions :( looks like it will be the drip in 15 mins time, feel like a failure at this point x
 
@daniyaaq i cannot believe your DH did that. Of course I would want to give home the benefit of the doubt but that’s just absolutely clueless of him!

@playgirl666 you're not a failure. Sometimes babies just don’t want to come when we want them to… you’ve been so patient! Just keep it up a bit longer and you know it’ll end with baby in your arms. GL and stay strong mama - you can do it!
 
@playgirl666 sometimes the body just needs a little push. I had drip before, and only a little bit was enough to crank things up.
 
Thanks guys, I really do appreciate his thought and I know he’s been wanting to introduce me to his boss but God talk about wrong timing. @sil i honestly would have loved it he ordered from my favourite place and sat in bed with me as we gave our dinner.
 
@daniyaaq aw it was a nice idea but unfortunately just wrong timing, some men really don’t understand how uncomfortable we are nearing the end of pregnancy. Could you try talking to him and say you appreciate his effort but your really just wanting to take it easy, perhaps postpone the birthday/boss dinner till after baby is here so it’s not dismissing it altogether? My hubs booked us cinema tickets to see the new bond film so me being 34 weeks preg, His birthday so wanted to see the very first viewing at midnight haha. Longest 3 hours sitting, I was moving every 5 minutes, readjusting waist band haha, but great film.

@playgirl666 definitely not failure girl! Please don’t beat yourself up. No one is a failure here!! You get whatever you need. I hope the drip has worked! You can do it :)
 
Baby is here, was very traumatic, will post pics and details once I have recovered x
