We made the trimesters pass quickly!

[Mummy to be x]

Could you put him in his pram and take some sweeties? Or toys or something?

Oh my goodness you've been worrying about that dentist appointment

That's quite cute of your oh to spend the cash on food instead aw! X

 

[UniqueBeauty]

I know! I was like are you kidding me?! I finally get the courage to get it over with now I have to ring and re-book

I'm a little nervous for Tuesday, It's the home nursery visit. What do they do? x

 

[Mummy to be x]

I'm not too sure UB I've never had one, my friend did though and I think it's just about the teacher getting to know the child etc x

 

[UniqueBeauty]

I will be spending the whole day cleaning and tidying tomorrow I am gutted I've just used the rest of the fabreeze, what am I going to do x

 

[Mummy to be x]

my oh is obsessed with fabreeze and air freshners I left him to the hoovering today and I swear you can't even tell it's been done lol.

 

[Ziggie]

Urgh I'm so spoilt, my oh does everything!!! He's a proper clean and tidy one, so he usually does stuff before I even get out of bed lol. He's like the energiser bunny

 

[Mummy to be x]

Can we swap zig?

Me and oh have been at each other's throat today about anything and everything, I feel quite mean now, it must be my hormones. We argued about if we was going to sit and have tea at the same time and because I wasn't hungry yet we had a row, and he didn't vacuum properly so I stressed at him, then he left rubbish on the side so I stressed again at him. As I type this I'm starting to think I have been really nasty lol, I better apologise! He took dd out on the bike too to give me piece and quiet. Omg I'm such a cow I need to make it up to him lol x

 

[ab75]

My dh is really good at cleaning and tidying too.
We had beef casserole, mashed potatoes and cabbage for dinner, it was lush xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

My OH is good like that when he's in the mood to clean lol. He will leave socks around, beer cans, food on plates by the sink (irritates the hell out of me) but since he's extended our kitchen he's actually kept the kitchen nice lol

We've just got in from taking Jayden to see the steam train, he loved it.

I have decided I will hang washing out Tuesday morning to get the nice fresh smell through the house I just don't want her to judge us, iykwim. x

I feel really ignored . The only people who talk to me are you ladies. I ended up crying myself to sleep the other night because I feel like everyone on here hates me. Only 1 person commented on my pregnancy journal, yet I take the time to comment on others. I just feel really crappy, the only social interactions I have are online. In real life, I have a really bad anxiety disorder and am very introverted. So it takes a long time for ppl to get to know me IRL or to even make any friends. So I come on here to make friends. Oh and I am also a highly sensitive person. Even the littlest things makes me upset and hurt my feelings. Pregnancy just makes it 10x worse.

If there really are ppl from the US, I guess I just do not see them as often or they do not update their location on their profiles.

Sorry for ranting, but I really needed to say that to feel better.

 

[Swtpinkbabi]

Love the names Ab!

So, I have been wondering. Why are there no US people on these boards? I have seen very little members from the US. I feel lonely, no one ever visits any of my threads and I feel like its because I am not from the UK.

I'm from US Kiwi.

 

[ab75]

Sorry you feel like that kiwi. I commented in your journal yesterday.

So here is my boys potty shot!



Cord is just to the side of his boy bits.

My mil always said that she didn't want to know when we found out gender, so yday I txt her and said "the girls know what baby is and keep talking about it. So do you want a phone call to tell you, a pic to guess or to take your chances with them not saying anything", she chose the phone call. So dh phoned and said we'll let Zoe tell you. Zoe says "gran, it's got a bobby(willy)". Lol, I suppose thats one way of telling someone! Xx

 

[Ziggie]

I feel really ignored .

You can't be like that on the Internet it will drive you mad. You need thick asbestos skin for forums!!!!!!

And you're looking in the wrong threads I've seen loads of people from the US

Don't take it personally if people don't respond to everything you post, that's forum life I know I don't respond to everything... I don't have the time to keep up with every post and person. I just jump in when I can. If no one replies that time they usually do the next or next after that.

Have you thought about looking for any pregnancy groups in your area?

 

[Mummy to be x]

Ab that's hilarious!

Kiwi - I'm sorry you feel that way, I try to comment on as many posts as I can, I also still pop in first tri now and then to offer my advice where I can, as for the journals I've never looked at any journals it's just not a section I've ever been in unfortunately. Try not to let it get you down no one is ignoring you Hun, certainly not purposely anyway

UB - I'm sure no one is going to judge you, try and relax

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Kiwi sorry you feel like that but we're all here for you! I've never seen the journal threads I mainly just stay in this thread and see what's posted on second trimester. I've been ignored a few times in other posts I just don't go back there

Ab that's so sweet of your DD

No dentist today so I best go cancel my appointment! instead I think I'll pop DS over to see my Nan again. She prefers our company to my Grandads x

 

[Mummy to be x]

Well I don't know what to do today OHs at work till 9pm, I think I need a dentist though my tooth is killing me I've had no sleep hardly because of it, and because of OHs bloody snoring lol.

It's getting colder now, I woke up this morning and felt like putting on the heating

 

[Kiwiberry]

Thank you ladies for being so supportive , just so you know though I was not really referring to any of you.

Ab, lovely pic! Grats again on the lil boy .

Ziggie, I would have a really hard time joining a pregnancy group. The type of anxiety I have is social anxiety. I am really pushing it with the pregnancy classes, but I need to take them so that's the only reason I am going. Plus OH is going to be with me so it makes a little more comfortable. He would not be able to attend any pregnancy classes because of how much he works. He already had to ask off 2 months in advance to go with me for these classes. It is a great suggestion though!

I have a question for you ladies, have any of you ever had an anterior placenta? Also, does the baby move positions a lot? Like could she go from head down to feet down? I am so worried about this .

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Mummy had an anterior placenta, Kiwi.

OH has organised for him to go to collage and do an electricians course/apprenticeship but I'm a bit worried that we won't be able to afford our rent. We're getting help at the minute from HB which is a life saver. He'll find out soon because he's going to talk about income etc x

 

[Mummy to be x]

Kiwi - I have an anterior placenta, I've only just started feeling proper movement from about 19 weeks but it's still not very strong at all. I never had one with my daughter so this is all new to me. X

UB - maybe you will get more help with your oh been a student? And you not working? You never know you may be better off. It's so tricky when you want to do things with your life but living expenses stop you, luckily my OH has just done 13 years in the army so he's had his career and now just does lorry driving to earn money, so I'm studying maths and English, plus science from home and I will be going back to college once I've had baby, and hopefully then applying to university to do midwifery, that's my goal! I think some colleges offer a grant each week for attending, I know my old college used to do that x

 

[DolceBella]

Kiwi - This is my third time having an anterior placenta. Depending on where it is, fetal movements can be harder to feel sometimes. I didn't have any trouble feeling everything with the first two, but I feel less this time. Also, at this gestation, baby can still do flip flops in there and change position frequently. It doesn't really matter now. As they get bigger, they will take a more permanent spot. As for journals, I never view them. I will never ever find the time to keep up with everyone's journals. I can barely keep up with this thread, January jellybeans thread, and the trimester threads at the same time. I'm a full time night shift worker raising 2 small children, and keeping a 4000sq ft. house clean (clean? ha!) too. There's only so much I can do, and I understand that everyone else has busy lives too. If I don't get many responses on a thread that I write, I just brush it off and move on....no big deal! I know you're feeling sensitive and anxious, both of which are made worse with pregnancy hormones, but try to take a deep breath and relax into the forum a little more. It's better to have one person respond with something thoughtful, than have 7 people write back without much input for you.
