Ah Jellycat - you poor thing. I know how frustrating and upsetting it is when you feel there is nothing you can do. I'm sure the only reason your Mum hasn't mentioned it to you, is because you are pregnant and she doesn't want you to be under any extra stress. I've been going through hell with my DH for 2 years as he has an illness they don't know the cause of (hence he was in hospital again this week) sometime's it feels they will never get to the bottom of it. I have to cope with it all on my own as DH's parents live in Crete so all the pressure is on me to keep everyone else in the loop and sit with him for literally hours in hospital on my own. Try and think positively, your Dad is seeing a specialist so is in the best possible hands. My motto for this week is "Keep Calm and Carry On"!

Bekkles was it North Staffs you went to?? The length of time they keep you waiting it ridiculous...iv waited 2 hours for both my apps. but they r constantly walking around looking for woman who are smoking outside!!!
Anyone else feeling really ratty today? even the dog panting at me got me all annoyed!!! x

Yes!
Me!
I have been in the PISSIEST mood all day long. I wanted to kill people at work, at my doctor's office, at this BBQ I went to this evening, and now that I am home, I am so fatigued and there is so much to do, I just want to take a sledgehammer to the whole f$$$ing house and then drive off and leave someone else to deal with it.
Bekklez, it must be International Prenatal Clinic Asshole Day because I was kept waiting an hour and fifteen minutes for my three minute prenatal appointment today. I didn't have my lunch with me as I wasn't expecting to be there that long, so I was shaking with hunger by the time I left. I was really angry with them. I have to take time off work to make these stupid appointments. Time that I have to make up. And it's not like the clinic was even busy. And I was on time. I was so angry and upset I could barely even talk to the nurse. I thought I was going to lose it on her if I opened my mouth at all. I could feel how close to volcanic eruption I was.
Then I was at a BBQ for our dayhome and even though I am the size of a house and was holding my toddler and trying to feed him off a plate I was holding in my other hand, not a single person offered me their seat. Perfectly able-bodied, non-pregnant people who had finished eating, and not a single one had the manners to stand up and ask me if I'd like to sit down for a moment while I tried to eat. My husband was pretty annoyed by that, but I didn't want to make a big scene (because I could feel that if I did, it was going to be a BIG scene). We just left.
Now I'm home and my husband is being a perfect saint and getting all this stuff done for the trip tomorrow because he wants to get an early start.
I am so tired I feel like I might burst into tears at any moment and I look around and all I can see are messes and unfinished chores. Stuff that I know is going to really stress me out if we just leave it until we get back. But I don't have the energy to face it. I need to wait until morning when I'm fresh.
So I feel like I'm about to have a huge fight with my husband over this which makes me feel totally wretched and guilty and incredibly annoyed. Why does it have to be his way? Why does he have to be so supportive and reasonable about everything when I am feeling like I need to have a tantrum?
So there is my whining about my day.
Pretty small beans compared to job losses and such.
So now I feel even whinier.
But thank you for listening!
And huge to everyone else whose day was crappy, for reasons petty or profound!

Aw Sarah no I think those can be just the kind of the days that get the hormones raging! For me it's often lots of small things that wind me up and I end up in an awful mood. Stupid things like people in cars not letting me cross at the end of a road when they are stopped and waiting anyway! I always thank them in a very loud voice! I could get myself into lots of trouble!
Sorry to hear about your GD Zo. x
I hope people's days are better today, it's gonna be warm again apparently, and I have to say I'm getting to the point where I feel a cooler day would be nice!
Oooh 29 weeks today! Which means 11 weeks till 40 weeks! Or 7 and 4 days until the furthest I've ever been preggers!! So not too long to go now!!

Morning all,
Well I had my crappy week last week and things are gradually getting better now, so hopefully things will work out well for everyone too!
Drea,
Job losses are rubbish at any time, when dd was 4 months old dh's back went into spasm, 2 years later it was diagnosed there was an underlying problem and finally a 'sort' of dianosis and plan of action with treatment and physio, he has been told it will never get better it is just a case of managing the pain and movement he is left with, but the upshot is he has not worked since it happened and will not be able to again, and i will always be giving him a certain amount of care.
This was life changing when it happened, and we went from a well paid job to benefits, and although it has been a struggle, not just the money but getting used to looking after and dh getting used to having to have things done for him, and being together 24-7 which some couples can't manage in itself!
I am sure things will work out and there is always help available, CAB can help with what to claim because if you don't find out no one will tell you so a stop there would be the easiest route to getting some sort of understanding of the system and how you can be helped.
Becs,
First year in many Glastonbury have not had rain! We usually go away this week to get away from it as its on our doorstep but we couldnt because both the older boys have exams! And no i am not offering my bathroom to hoards of sweaty, dirty fesival goers thanks!
And a clean cooker, what does that look like then? mine is neglected!!
Zo,
Sorry about the GD, did you have any symptoms or just the blood test say you had it?
Asher,
Put like that it's really not long is it! Getting exiting now, or scary, not sure what!
Little A, I was totally wrong about the sex of this baby, i was shocked when we were told, and it was confirmed because of the more detailed second 20 week scan we had, i was still shocked!
I have had the 2 boys and 2 girls and can honestly say the pregnancy's are all much of a muchness, you just don't know til you meet baby!
Apaton, that's awful about the house, hope things work out, with my first baby i was 6 months pregnant when we moved out of bf parents and into our own place, but we couldn't afford it and it was not for that long, neither was the bf but that's another thing!
Good luck in sorting what needs sorting
Big waves to everyone else, and sorry if i have forgoten anything major, i did try quoting but failed so gave up!
My blackberry is up and running and anyone want a text buddy I am your woman! Just pm me your name and number, i will add you and text you mine, like someone else said the network would be good as we are all due Sept, my last forum was 'Jan 08' and about 6 of us had our babies within about 2 days!
I am impressed with the phone, being a bit rubbish with these things, but it is great, still not worked out some of the simpler things but the main stuff is done.
I was with vodafone but virgin did a really good deal, but the guy from vodafone told me i would have to pay extra for blackberry services, but virgin said it was inclusive, so i had to get all the email and internet stuff set up so if i had been fibbed to then i had the 28 day period to send it all back, turns out virgin is good, vodafone told me porkys to try and keep me and cover the fact they charge £5 a month more for the same thing i get with virgin, tut tut, naughty!
Anyway i even managed to get on b&b with my blackberry, teeny and you have to magnify little bits at a time but i did it!
My dress has been dispatched, (as my email sent to my phone told me, oh me so clever!!) so can't wait to have a comfy dress to wear, wil try and post a pic when i get it, i ned a new bump pic anyway, i am defiently expanding!
Little kicks in side and towards ribs today, all stretchy kicks
28 weeks tomorrow
Cant believe how rubbish i was feeling last week compared to now, hang on in there if your feeling rubbish, it does clear, and is largely pregnancy!
Hope everyone has a lovely Saturday, lazy one for me i hope!xxx

Morning all! Hope everyone is ok...
I'm so sorry to hear about people being made redundant, house problems and the like, sounds like lots of us are having a crappy time I have to say I find having support of the September ladies a real help... sometimes you can't rant to OH as he seems to be taking the brunt of most of the hormones... sometimes just writing it all down on here makes you feel better!
We're off to a local summer fete this afternoon, we're going to enter Jake (our german shepherd) into the dog show.... he's gorgeous but doesn't tend to behave very well at these things so not expecting him to win, apart from maybe 'dog the judge would most like to take home;!! He usually finds another dog to fancy (male) and spends his time escaping to go and hump.... and the dog he chooses is usually either a rotty or a greyhound,.... it's always fun!
I was reading my prima baby mag yesterday and saw a 6 way maternity dress advertised... it loks brilliant! Has anyone seen it/heard of it? It can be strapless, halterneck, capped sleeves, alsorts, perfect for me with all the mess do's we have coming up! In 3 weeks we have a proper mess dress ball so I need something and it HAS to be floor length.. (although they might get a piece of my mind if they complain! Maternity ball dresses are hard to find!) ANyway, here is the link:

There's quite a bit to catch up on so sorry if I missed anyone out
Happy 31 weeks Emzy, Blob and Apaton
Great pics STMW
Lilbluebump - Not quite sure. It was the new maternity hospital near Newcastle. Kept me waiting 3 hours!!!
Louise - Good luck entering your dog!
Sorry to hear about the diabetes Zo and the house Apaton
I had really bad stomach pain last night, it was also in my back. I'd have said it was a 7 on a scale of 1-10 but I waited it out and it went after 30 minutes and I could sleep. I've had stomache cramps today too and my stomache generally feels just achey and uncomfortable but it's nothing as bad as last night and it's not really that painful. Just a dull ache
Also, I can feel like a tiny bit of pressure in my lady area it feels like a bubble. That's the only way I can describe it! a bubble down there that can't pop. I've decided if I get pain like last night again I'll go get checked over but until then to just ignore it since baby is still wiggling and moving around in there. Hope she isn't planning on coming out! eeek. I'd like to make it to 30 weeks without anything like that happening
