Hi yes to being wet !!

Question ladies .. Are you permanently hungry? I feel like I am constantly eating and grab the nearest thing! Any tips on yummy quick healthy snacks

 

[*glow*]

Ps hope you are ok Jill xx I also had braxton hicks for couple of hours last night

It's still going but triage were as helpful as a chocolate fire guard. I am not in too much pain so I just have to keep an eye on it. Xx

The permanently wet gets worse and worse throughout. I'm no longer on panty liners and have upgraded to light sanitary towels. Sometimes even feel "a leak" but it's nothing interesting, just slimy watery cm. ... The stuff you pray you see during ttc, but I even get it down my legs after a shower

I too have been having regular braxtons, sometimes so frequently it feels like labour starting, but they stop when in the bath (and start again once out. Doh.)

Glow - Yes I am hungry all the time, really liking scones at the moment! i have no tips on healthy snacks, my diet is not the best!

Oh no the wet feeling gets worse? It is vile!!! I had the ewcm style stuff earlier. I may have to start wearing a pantyliner.

I don't think I have had braxton hicks yet?! Won't be long I guess. xx

Mines didn't stop with the bath. I went for a walk and kept busy and they seem to have eased. I'm about to go to bed so hoping they won't start again! X

Morning ladies, I was having a lot of discharge before but seems to have dried up a little bit recently. Had a few braxtons & quite a lot of tightening but not too bad at moment.

My hypnobirthing book & CD arrived yesterday. Looking forward to practising! It's getting hubby on board with the affirmations though! He is quite happy with the relaxation part though...not sure if he realises he won't be doing that when I am birthing!

Is anyone using the perenium oil to start stretching? Bought the Weleda oil last week not sure how I'm meant to reach to actually use it! Is anyone else using other natural therapies like raspberry leaf tea, evening primrose oil?

2 weeks left at work, so excited to be able to end the commute! X

Lucy I have three weeks to go then goodbye baby on board badge (no-one gives you a seat anyway!!)

I am interested in the oil, need to go and google that! X

 

[JillMcCoy]

I am using raspberry tea, it's pretty nice! I hadn't even heard of perenium massage until my app said last week! Xx

 

[*glow*]

I reAd that the tea can affect braxton hicks so I haven't been drinking it. Who knows .. I drank it the last time and had no braxton hicks! Xx

I'm pissed off this afternoon. My husband just doesn't think. I know that he has been to work today but I work 5 days a week too. I'm off today, go out with my mum to tesco to buy essentials & presents for his family & get a call 'where are you? I'm hungry!' You are a grown an make your own lunch. Get in & proceed to strip the bed & say I'll make a sandwich after wards & get told we may as well wait til I make dinner. I've not had lunch either but doesn't consider that. So make us something to eat & sit down to a programme, after taking plates put think I'll have to hang washing I've done up. Does he ask if I want him to pause the programme? Need any help carrying washing up the stairs & hanging it up? Doesn't even consider it. Then can't understand why I would be a little bit annoyed. I know that I am being hormonal but wouldn't it be lovely to feel cared for during pregnancy. A little bit of acknowledgement that I am 30 weeks pregnant, working full time & taking care of the house at the weekends would be lovely.

 

[lisa1985]

Aww Lucy, you are not being hormonal, even if you weren't pregnant he should be helping you. My OH's dad died a few weeks ago and today between us we cleaned the house and he gets all the washing out the washing machine and brings it to me to hang up and he has just ordered us a pizza! Be firm and tell him he needs to help you and I would have told him to make his own bloody sandwhich!!! xx

I wouldn't say that you were being hormonal as this sounds like a rational argument rather than just someone who's taking it personally.
During my first pregnancy, hubs was bordering on saintly, would help with everything (to the point where it made me quite lazy if I'm honest) but this time up until 6 weeks ago ish, I was left to do everything on my own. I was taking care of him, the house, the dogs and taking 50% of the jobs with our little boy. Anyway, it resulted in me breaking down in floods of tears before he realised that I was absolutely killing myself trying to keep up the pretence that everything was ok and that I was managing. Since then, he's been brilliant again. Maybe yoy should sit him down and explain to him how you feel. Growing a human from scratch is really hard work on your body and sometimes, people who have no womb, have no idea how difficult all of the emotions and the physical stress it causes.... Maybe, spell it out to him in the simplest terms you can and ask for his help.... Most men completely miss hints (unless it's sex of course).

I have told him but his response is that if I asked he would help. My point is why should I have to ask. He doesn't have to ask me to wash his clothes, do the shopping, cook dinner, sort all the bills..list goes on! If I have to ask I feel like I am nagging. I just want him to do something of his own volition to help me. The last thing I said to him last night is that I just want to feel cared for x

My hubby is the same in the respect that he just doesn't think or see what needs doing. He's said in the past I have to tell him yet when I do tell him huff and puffs about doing it and often says he will but 'in a minute'.

Everytime I complain of being tired he says he is too and makes s big thing about it - if only they could be pregnant for a week and see what it's like xxx

 

[*glow*]

Becky1 I echo that!!

I can't complain I am lucky to be honest. I do think they can be so insensitive sometimes! You are right because if we got them to do this for a week it would be a different story the exhaustion is incomprehensible .... X

Glad I am not alone although suspected I wasn't! He is good & works hard but still so do I & I'm growing a human being inside me. Mine is same says to ask but when I do I have to wait until it fits his timetable..so I end up asking several times which then looks like nagging x

 

[lisa1985]

I think some men just think they should be ''mothered'' for the rest of their lives!!! x

 

[JillMcCoy]

It's as if I'm reading my life here! My husband tells me to not do too much but leaves me no choice! I asked him 4 weeks ago if he could do the morning walk with our dog because I am struggling when he pulls. He said yes but hasn't done it once! As for house stuff he says we have plenty of time! I am trying to not stress but he is bugging me so much!! X

 

[Lols82]

I think it's just men in general mostly they are that used to us doing everything for them (sorry for jumping in my due date is technically 16 Jan but i'm having my twins on 22 Dec).

I'm 30 weeks pregnant with twins and starting to struggle with the house, I actually told my OH yesterday he will really need to start helping me out a bit more especially when it comes to lifting things which I am really struggling with now. He said he will but it's not doubt went in one ear and out the other.
