Is it just me or is anyone else feeling emotional and teary? Maybe im just being hormonal but feeling a bit sad and fed up. Doesnt help that oh is irritating the hell out of me, not feeling very supported.

Seeing mw today but not expecting much, she didnt do v much last time. Hoping she might check position of baby and measure my bump as consultant said they were measuring big at last scan. Dont see consultant for another 4 weeks which seems a long time in pregnancy! x

I feel like that most days! I don't feel very supported by OH. I can see he is trying since I last made a point about it but it's still not enough, reluctant to say anything more now in case I'm being too demanding. I also think the level of niceness he is managing now won't be maintained so instead of enjoying it I'm constantly wondering when it's going to come to an abrupt end.

I expect your mw will have a feel and let you know the position if she can. Hope baby is in the right position for you now! I've got my next consultant appointment in a couple of weeks x

Thanks for replying buggy. I dont know whether im just hormonal or being overly sensitive about things but im feeling really down and teary past couple of days. I never cry usually but today the tears just keep coming. Practically hes v good but emotionally hes no support and like u say, I start to wonder am I being too demanding or is he really that shit. He cant even see it when i say hes unsupportive and thats why we're not speaking. Hes not even trying to be nice. Today i will hear nothing by text and when he comes home we'll both huff till we go to bed seperately in silence. Im having a hard pregnancy as u know and I just feel theres no recognition or appreciation of that. Im in agony every day with pelvic pain and heartburn, its wearing me down. When I say im sore or complain he doesnt even respond. If he was in pain every day for the sake of our family id at least recognise it. Sorry im on a rant now, just feeling very alone at moment cos I don't talk to any one else about it x

 

[buggy1]

My situation is very similar! In all honesty though I do think mens brains work differently and they don't think to be emotionally supportive, it doesn't come naturally to them. I still think they should make an effort though, particularly when their partner is suffering to bring their child in to the world. A little appreciation and sympathy wouldn't go a miss!

[Heres Hoping]

Think thats the biggest thing at the moment, im just needing a little appreciation and sympathy. Hes crap at it and im just fed up of having an oh with a swinging brick instead of a heart. I bet he'll not even remember or ask about my mw appointment today and for once I'll not remind him. Think im moving to the angry stage now instead of tearful, he can just p*ss off! lol. x

 

[bubblegum 1987]

Here's hoping sorry your feeling like that, I felt like that a lot in the early stages. i cried most days. The cause of my upset was usualLy because I often wished my OH was more of the loving and emotional type who would rub my bump and make a fuss of me but he just dusnt, but when I thought about it-he never really was like that. He can be really selfish and spends a lot of time with his friends and I was pretty upset a few weeks ago when he went to play golf first thing In the morning on mothers day, his response was "but I always play golf on a Sunday ". He just dusnt get it x

 

[Lucyboo]

Hope you are ok here's hoping. I'm feeling like an emotional stress head today. Keep snapping. Bloody hormones.

Was in the services at Starbucks making up our tea and think I got BH. Was that or an uncomfortable kick. Standing there pulling faces rubbing my bump. God knows what people thought. Lol.

 

[Karenb]

Just had midwife app and glucose showed up jn urine for second time so being tested for gestational diabetes on Saturday, booooooo! Pretty anxious about it all now!

Oh I didn't know it could show up in your urine? I have been nervous about my glucose levels as I have high levels from my pcos but my pee has been clear of (whatever they check your pee for!).

Here's Hoping men are useless. I know there are exceptions but there wouldn't be comedy sketches about the differences between men and women and how men never know the right things to do / say / buy etc. Not an excuse at all but you're never alone with your struggles x

ETA my OH is in for it tonight actually as he hasn't returned my call or my FB message even though I know he's read it. His mum contacted me this morning (people never go through him ) about going shopping for nursery furniture tomorrow and so I asked him what he wants to do and where to meet etc. plus, it was his dad's bday the other week when DH was away skiing and I think he should take a gift with him tomorrow and buy his mum and dad lunch. I know I'll end up having to organise everything and buy the gift - as always!

 

[emmababy1]

I totally agree with you ladies. although they may try our OH just don't get what we're going through. I've had a tough time with the sciatica and migraines and he seems to think I should just get on with it and be brave! His emotional side is switched off completely.

 

[Heres Hoping]

Thanks for the support ladies. We had another row when he came in there, apparently he doesn't understand why im annoyed with him and some how hes the one hard done by. Its like living with a teenager, he stormed off in a huff. Theres no getting through to him and ive stopped trying. Hes yet to acknowledge my mw appt today so hes oobviously either forgot as per usual or else deliberately not asking....childish prick. How can men be so selfish and just feel nothing!

Any way had my mw appt and I had glucose + in urine so back next week to review. It has never happened before and they suggested it could have been the sugar in my tea from over two hours earlier? ! Surprised if thats true.
Baby is also head down which im really pleased to hear due to my obsession with being breech again. So hopefully baby will stay down there for the next few weeks and doesn't decide to get stuck breech like their sister. He or she kept kicking the trainee mw when she was having a feel, didnt like being prodded at all. Made me laugh which is just what i needed when feeling so shit x

Have u any other symptoms Karen?

No haven't had any other symptoms. I purposely didn't have any sugar last night or this morning before my appointment but still showed up. I'm really hoping it's ok as can't imagine life with less carbs and sugar!!

 

[heybabya]

I don't know how I haven't had this problem as I'm eating so much sugary crap it's coming out my ears. Always panic when she's testing my urine that she'll tell me to lay off the coco pops! Hope you's are given the all clear!

Same with my hubby, drives me nuts that he's not as prepared for the massive change as I am. Hes sitting talking about buying himself a new guitar and I'm like eh hello, I just spent 300 odd of my own savings on furniture and you've offered diddly squat towards it! He did build it all today though so i cant moan about him too much. bless!

Had my first antenatal class today. .It was a bit rubbish lol. She basically went on about how awesome epidurals are. Haha.

 

[babyscotcher]

I got a letter thru from the hospital today saying i have to see a diabetic midwife on tuesday as my GTT came back raised. However that gives me no notice to tell work as it is a bank holiday and has been over a week since my GTT and hadn't heard from them. Annoyed the hell out of me tho as I don't know how raised it was as no one has contacted me. Plus I have been really good with food during my pregnancy and have only put on 1.5kg since my booking in apt and at that point I had lost half a stone. I hope that the fact they havent rung me means it is only slightly raised as I have no other symptoms and baby was measuring fine at my scan on the same day.

Sorry girls needed to rant. X

 

[Karenb]

How annoying for you, I can't believe it took them so long to contact you!!

 

[Heres Hoping]

Thanks for all the supportive comments, yous are all right...women are the superior sex! Sure look at what our amazing bodies can do! lol. Hubby has now apologised, will forgive but not forget, hes got a lot of making up to do! Dont mess with a hormonal pregnant woman with spd lol

Ive always been worried too about diabetes as ive such a sweet tooth in this pregnancy plus a baby now measuring big. Need to cut down eating crap but its like im addicted to wispas with my cup of tea! Im hoping my urine will be clear next time too.

Karen was it a low or high reading? Do u have to do the gtt now? I hope it comes to nothing, id miss my carbs and sugar too!

Sorry to hear that babyscotcher, are you able to ring the hosp and maybe get more info? I always go on the premise if they write out to you it isnt as urgent, so hopefully your only borderline and they plan to just give u some info on it. Maybe ring your mw to get the actual result and figures x

 

[Karenb]

Apparently glucose was 2+ in my urine whatever that means.. So got the gtt in Saturday really hoping it's ok, I have got such a sweet tooth, I am seriously addicted to chocolate.

 

[Heres Hoping]

Ive been the same Karen, I didnt have as much of a sweet tooth before pregnancy. Think when your feeling tired and crappy it gives you a little boost, its the only vice we can have. Hope it goes well on Sat, when will u get results then?

Is there any thing else that can cause glucose in urine or is it just diabetes? Im reluctant to ask google x

 

[Lucyboo]

God my diet has been awful. I have eaten so much sugar it's awful. Hubby has actually told me off about how much I've had. Do they test for glucose in everyone's urine test does anyone know?

I know what you all mean about our OH's. Mine just doesn't get how I feel sometimes, how I feel when I can't do things etc... I really want him to wear one of those weighted bumps and see how we feel.

Just chilling in our hotel room as couldn't hack spending 3 nights on a futon. Wow I'm 30 weeks today so down to single digit weeks now... Eek!!

They said they'd ring with results, can't imagine it would take long though, don't want to be left waiting - and worrying!
