Sorry to change the subject but I am getting driven demented! My sister is pregnant and due 10 days after me and my friend is due 2 months after that. We were talking about the pregnancy and I was saying about the gestational diabetes and both of them were like oh no poor you we have been fine. I just feel like saying shut up!! I haven't been to bad, certainly no worse complaints wise compared to my friends who have been pregnant u. The past but they are acting like I am soooo unlucky because I have had things in my pregnancy that are not all glows and happiness. Both of them suffered sickness for 20 weeks and complained and I was supportive. Sorry I know it sounds pathetic but clearly today's mood is rant haha x

Today is a rant & cry day! My sister in law is due less than a week before me, niece due in Feb & husband best friend wife due on the same day as me! It's annoying being pregnant at the same time, non stop comparison of bumps, symptoms. I've been told that I have to have a specific gender as she is having the other, been told my bump is so small compared, I'm not allowed to give birth before my sister in law! I don't want a competition, I just want a healthy happy baby! X

Sounds like you are in the same boat as me!! Me and hubby had been trying for years and had just got our letter to go to the infertility clinic when I got the BFP! My sister got my mum to tell me that she was pregnant and wondered why I was annoyed. I said congrats and kept to myself to then learn my whole family were talking about me and making up stories. It's been a tough year and tbh they are lucky I am speaking to them!!! My sister is 7 years younger than me so it hit me hard that she sneezed and fell pregnant when I had all the heartache. I'm better now because I see it as my daughter will have a cousin close age wise and my husband is getting a nephew he can ensure is a football supporter!

Competition wise, do you not feel families are worse than ever when it comes to it? I just felt so down for most of trimester 2 because of how my family treated me over things I didn't say or do. Xx

My side of the family have been fine, his side well.. Lots of speculation over boy or girl (we don't know), comments about breast feeding (I want to, they think unnatural lol), fact that I will probably be more liberal with my child, apparently boys pushing prams is a no no as are girls with diggers. I'm so at ease with people I know touching bump but they are really weird about it. I was annoyed because this is our first & her fouth.. They knew we were trying & I felt like they kind of stole our spotlight!

Breast feeding is unnatural? That's a new one! It's so hard isn't it? The spotlight stealing is sad and I feel the same but try to not pay attention. My mother in law has been a nightmare constantly commenting on my bump and actually upsetting me by commenting how big I am all the time. I have barely seen her since we told her it was a girl as she wanted a grandson. I was told to get working on a grandson asap! I was like I am still cooking this one so no! Safe to say even hubby isn't happy with his lot. I just want to go into a wee bubble and keep them all out!! Xx

How are you ladies today? Gotta say I'm feeling much more chipper today. Gotta love pregnancy hormones! X

 

[lisa1985]

People are just so annoying arent they?! I keep getting ''oooo getting big now'' and ''going to be a big baby, good luck pushing that out'' and ''Theres a twin hiding in there''!!! I don't think I am even that big!! Would be so pissed off if someone commented about it not being a boy though, that is so effing rude.

Feeling ok today Lucy, last week was a stress week with bad backache, but today I realised I only have 7 days left at work!!!! How much longer do you have left? xx

 

[JillMcCoy]

I was cheerier today too Lucy! Hormones are so fun xx

 

[*glow*]

Erg working is soooo hard .. Roll on Mat leave.

I was in hospital on Sunday on the monitor having bad BH . I thought they weren't supposed to hurt? Ouch!!! X

Yeah I think it's a myth. I have been having terrible braxton hicks for almost a week on and off . I was like I really hope this is labour but no!! Xx

Im getting the opposite- 'you dont look 32 weeks' 'didnt even realise your pregnant'
which is not helpful considering the fact that I had a slight growth scare and cant help worry a little still

haha we're never happy are we!!

My MIL is also convinced its a boy and only refers to it as a boy which is super annoying

Now that you have said that I woke this morning thinking I maybe had a urine infection or possibly thrush. Isn't pregnancy a joy?? I feel I'm never out of the doctors with these delightful infections haha!!

I have been so lazy today. I said to work I would go in this week to help do a few things but I haven't yet. I can't bring myself to go! I lay in bed watching one tree hill... I need some new shows to keep me going for the next 5 weeks potentially x

8 more days! I can't bloody wait! Especially considering I had an hour of BH last night sitting in traffic on the way home!

My MIL will only consider mine as a girl! Plus the bump thing..I'm only 5 ft & petite so my bump was never going to be massive..drives me nuts how women less pregnant than me say oh my bumps already bigger than yours! It's probably because you were bigger than me to start with grr! Don't worry about what others say, as long as midwife is happy everyone else can do one lol x

 

[Becky1]

Hi ladies. Just thought I'd let you know the first December baby has arrived. Theo Alexander arrived safely yesterday 10.11.15. We are both on the ward and doing ok, so far he hasn't needed any special care. He weighs 7lb 3oz, which is impressive considering he was only 36+4. I'm so so in love already. xxx

 

[MrsTLC]

Congratulations Becky!!!


I was just about to write that I am officially full term today. 3 to 5 weeks to go!

 

[JillMcCoy]

Congrats beaky! What a good size! Hope you are both well!!

 

[Becky1]

Thanks! The MW in theatre said she'd never seen a 36 week baby so big! I'm so happy he's feeding well and maintaining his own temperature as I'd been told to expect him to spent time in a incubator and to need to be expressing to feed him.

Mrs TLC - congrats on full term, you can get working on evicting that baba now! xxx

 

[*glow*]

Ah lovely Becky congratulations!

What point is considered full term? Is it 37 weeks? X
