****July 2018 Mummies - Tri 2****

[sarah1986]

If need be I could pop in next Wednesday when she is in and ask her to sign it for me.

I'm going to ask HR first to see if they will accept it, if not then I will go back next week, bit of a pain but never mind, at least i have 2 weeks left until my deadline to submit my form.

Where abouts in staffordshire do you live? xx

My mum bought DD a fudge today to bring home with her and I'm dying to eat it! My food intake today, eggs and soldiers, a banana, vanilla milkshake, small bowl of porridge, bacon brie and cranberry toastie and most of DD's chips which she refused o eat while out. I'm lying in bed with DD while she naps and considering making a cup of tea and having some biscuits. I need to stop eating!

Physio went well, she gave me a few exercises to do and a big band to wear. She said I've still got plenty of strength and even my flexibility is still good but said baby must be lying on the right side nearly all of the time as that hip is much stiffer

Talking of parents and kids, my DD is generally good although doesn't react well to more then one person telling her what to do which means my mum drives me mad as she tries to talk over me. Anyway just went put for lunch, the chairs were a bit annoying in that DD could fit her legs through this wooden gap and get tangled up. She hurt her knee so I asked her not to do it again as she might break a leg, she kept doing it and eventually I snapped at her to stop it now or I'd take her home. Mum looked at me like I was the worst parent ever and said "she's only little you know, come sit with me darling I'll look after you" I hadn't even shouted, but I was like "I've asked her 5/6 times not to do that, saying she's only little won't cut it if she breaks a leg". Thankfully DD was like "no nana I want to sit with mummy" I was so mad at mum, DD was in the wrong and I hate people trying to gloss over it

Ugh that's so frustrating.. Then it'll be you who they'll blame if she has no discipline or plays up. I can totally see my mum interfering all the time which is another reason to get the hell out of here haha xx

Same to you GG I didn't realise lol oops!! But another week down its crazy. I meant to say, fab about midwife. Sounds like a section is definitely the right plan for you I'm glad she's in your corner. And as long as you get up and moving when they make you Im sure you'll be fine! You're not exactly a sedentary person lol so I'd bet recovery will be speedy anyway. I'm a little jealous you'll have an exact date to meet baby lol Xx

PB sounds like a tough night hun I hope she's better tonight for you to catch up on some sleep. Superwoman over there looking after dd right now plus growing a baby I swear! Eat ALLLL the fudge you deserve it lol xx

Laura ugh I hope they can help you. You may need to say your mum is chucking you out though. Maybe have her say she is and see what they say about it? You definitely deserve a stress free last few months of pregnancy and I'm not sure you'll ever get that in her house. So fx for you! Good news about hubby too xx

Thanks shan we went down and they basically can't help us. I had a feeling they couldn't. We aren't priority enough and to qualify as homeless as such as apparently we would need it in writing that my mum is kicking us out. If my mum thought that writing us that letter could in any way help us she would NEVER do it. Despite telling me every day she wants me to leave and how much hassle I am existing she also said to me the other day that she really doesn't want me to ever leave... And she is glad she'll be close to her grandchild and see her every day xx

GG I hope you're feeling a little better hun. Really can't understand the bond with horses properly having never had one, the closest I have is when my dog died and it fucking floored me. I had her since I was 14 and took her with me when I moved out at 16, brought her over to Scotland etc. So big hugs to you lovely.

I get the uncomfortable shit. No sleep here either. Everything just hurts when I sleep. To be honest every baby is different. Dd was a lot more chilled I think . This one just never stops. I had my hand on my stomach last night and I was able to feel her moving against it. I love that feeling more than the kicks it's so surreal. Definitely get that Gaviscon. Appointment today and you've just reminded me to ask so thanks lol xx

Shep take a chill day for yourself hun. VAT forms be gone! DD talks in her sleep all the time it's so strange. Full on conversations, she's done it since I can remember but it always has me up checking. She woke up screaming last night and almost killed me. She'd given herself pins and needles in her arm and I swear I haven't ran so fast all pregnancy! Hope you both can get a nap in today at least xx

Jem hope your sister is doing okay hun. Don't know how they can send her home though after that?! Fx that means it's not her waters? xx

Fela it's completely up to you hun. Most people leave it as late as can be so they get all their maternity. With dd I got signed off at 36 ish weeks but the plan was to work as late as can be. Do whatever you like and whatever you're able hun xx

 

[LuckyLaura]

2 weeks for me too. Or 3 depending on when you say 3rd tri starts. PF says 27 though. All together in the thread we have about a 6 week gap between everyone? Think we actually go from June to August lol.

It's still so surreal to me there's actually another baby coming for us. And it really is just speeding towards us too. My daily routine now consists of Ivy asking about the baby all day long. She's says good morning/goodnight/hello/goodbye to my bump lol. If I eat or drink anything "Did the baby like that" "Is the baby awake/can I cuddle the baby/can I feel the baby/can we fold the baby clothes/ see when the baby comes" Its like she's already here lol.

I can't shake my bad mood today. Going to put it down to hormones and tiredness but everything is really winding me up. Burnt my toast this morning and could have actually took the toaster outside and thrown it in the bin

Yes I'm guilty of helping stretch that range of months out haha I've been told due 5th August but I don't wanna leave here haha please don't make me goo hahaha xx

Fuck sake hun. If you want her to do it though she should. She's not helping you by giving you grief every day about everything but then refusing to help you leave. Tell her if she wants you to stay with your baby she needs to wind her neck in with her all of her shit. Arghh people!!! Xx

Haha thanks for understanding that she's a nightmare - sounds weird but It actually helps to off load here and so many people in my "real" life don't understand. She puts this stupid nice act on and people think she's great. Sorry if I talk about it too much cuz I don't want to be that person who goes on and on about it all.

We do have a little spark of hope that there's this letting agency that works with the housing executive and they help people who are struggling to rent privately such as accessing funds to pay your deposit for you and any up front lump sums and then you pay them monthly which would be helpful cuz we have money but it's cash flow and hard to get an actual lump sitting ready. Been referred and waiting to hear from them yay.

I've woken up yet again feeling like death. I wake every single morning with a banging headache and it's driving me insane. I don't know what's causing it but it takes hours to leave xx

Ah no worries o on about whatever you like. We all have our own things . I know what you mean though everyone loves my mum. And nobody has any idea what she's really like at all. Im used to that now. OH said he'd have loved her too if he didn't know what my childhood was like. Some people are just like that

I really hope they can help you get somewhere sorted soon. Sounds positive so hopefully your referral goes through quickly! As for headaches mention it to your midwife but could be totally normal. Stress hormones etc. I get them too right now, mine are sinus headaches though abd they're a bitch. You're fine to take paracetamol for them though to see if that helps. Nothing worse than waking up with a headache! Xx

 

[PeanutButter]

Laura the council is useless imo. I was 18 and about to be homelesa after my mom moving. I didnt even qulify for a room in a hostel.
Hope you are able to sort something out. Have you thoight about shared accomodation? Its pretty cheap because all bills are included.

 

[LuckyLaura]

The council really is useless but aw well. We would rather try to keep on our own two feet anyway and rent privately or ideally we want to save a deposit and just buy our own house! But its just so impossible...too much debt although actually the baby hasn't really cost us much yet despite having everything but the cot and bedding to sort haha my mum bought most of it hahaha freeeee stttuufff xx

 

[KHTW]

Laura your mum is a piece of work. I really don't know how you lasted under the same roof for this long. Keep going back to the council. Do you have a friend you could crash with for a while? X

Shep I would forget tax returns and just get some rest on the sofa. Hope DD lets you sleep tonight x

GG i hope you and Dan will cope ok today, sad sad day. Sending hugs x

I think 37 weeks gives you plenty of time off. This time I am taking a month off before due date. I just feel I need more time with DD1 before DD2 comes x

Speaking of DD1... she has been a total nightmare and been acting like a spoilt brat. I don't recognise my own child. I have never shouted at her so much EVER!!! But I just can't handle her behaviour anymore. Even her granny stopped interfierning. A bit too late i think. 3 more days and we will be en-route home.. to our routine. Can't wait... really!!! I am exhausted and this has honestly been the worst vacation ever! x

 

[PeanutButter]

Khtw, do you think shes being worse because baby on the way? Getting your attention now. My little sister (6) is an absolute nightmare when we go round with baby and alyways smacking my stomach now. (i kno it isnt the same as shes my sister and nlt my kid but never kno).
Laura, you can get help with debt. Google it theres loads of advise.
Feel totally drained today, not wanting to do anything lol x

Your mum is causing it. I would put money on It!

 

[Shanivy]

Well interesting appointment. May be on my way to preeclampsia. Protein in urine and bp is high. Pulse rate high on and off but had my bloods done to to see if I have anaemia again. So she said she should have blood results on Saturday and she'll phone me. And urine on Monday. Midwife said there's a chance the protein could be from an infection though instead. So fx. Also measuring a little under so if I'm still measuring under at my 28 week they'll send me for a growth scan.

Ughhhhh stressful!!!

 

[Shanivy]

Aw KHTW sounds awful hun. I'm sure you're absolutely fed up of it. Honestly dd does that when she's with my in laws it's just ridiculous. I think sometimes they start interfering and it just pushes them over the edge and starts off the bad behaviour. And then we have to deal with it afterwards. I'm sure she'll be back to normal once you're home xx

 

[_GG_]

Aw Shan that's a worry. I wonder if it's anything to do with the repeated bugs you've had?

My friend measured small her whole pregnancy, but totally normal at birth. Hopefully the bloods and second urine will shed some more light on things. X

 

[PeanutButter]

Oh shan fx its just an infection! What a worry. Have you got any signs? Seeing dots, swollen feet? X

 

[Shanivy]

Midwife did say she's not that worried about me measuring small until I reach 28 weeks. So I'm going to not worry too much about that yet.. Put on 1kg only since booking so I'm thinking it is just from being ill for so long. Appetite is coming back now

Never thought I'd have my fx for a UTI lol. Just have to wait and see. I don't feel like I have one but I guess it's hard to tell when you're almost in third tri.

No PB just headaches but no swelling etc hun xx

No swelling is a good sign. Fx it's all okay xx

 

[malagueta]

Hopefully it's just an infection Shan. My weight yesterday showed I've only put on 1.5kg all pregnancy, which I don't understand as I've been eating so much these last few weeks. The doctor yesterday didn't seem that concerned though. So I wouldn't worry about measuring small until 28 weeks. Maybe you'll feel better between now and then and your appetite will pick up more.

KHTW, I'm sure your wee girl will be back to normal once you're in your routine again. Good luck with your last few days!
