The Pregnant Womans Moan Thread.

TargetWidow

This thread is an opportunity for pregnant women to have a little moan if they are so inclined today. Whether or not you are pleased as punch, feel free to have a nice whinge about the itch, the stretch, the Pubis Symphsys Disorder or the hairy belly. Let loose.

THIS IS NOT A THREAD FOR OTHERS TO MOAN ABOUT PREGNANT WOMEN IN THEIR LIVES!

So I will start.
Today I am 12 weeks. Pleased as punch.
But........
feel like headbutting every customer in the shop today.
Itchy as hell.
Still morning sick now with over 7 weeks.
Delighted to still be awake at the ungodly hour of 10.40pm. Usually I would have dozed off by 9pm.
There. I feel better already...... doze.

CathyMoran

Could have done with moaning here, moaned in the pregnancy thread instead...to say that I feel bad is an understatement.

Love2love

I just wanna moan about the fact I cannot have a beer over the festive period. Normally doesnt bother me not to drink but I think I'll have a problem with it come Xmas night!
But then again I too have been asleep before 9 since I found out I was expecting!

Don't know how I'm going to stay awake tonight to get everything ready for DS. Most nights I am asleep before him!! :eek:

crazy cat lady

Ooh a moan! Fabulous!

Ok I'm ready to pop! I'm disgusted that this little one hasn't come early! I don't know quite what I was expecting but I wanted to be able to enjoy my Christmas dinner without:

- Getting full very quickly
- Needing to pee every 45 seconds
- Worrying about having a glass of wine with my dinner
- Worrying about my waters breaking all over my mother-in-laws new floors
- Worrying about going into labour and having to spend christmas in pain and have the baby arrive christmas day and forever be known as 'Jesus'!

I can't sleep. I'm still awake at 4am every morning. Then I sleep for a couple of hours then have to get up and pee and I'm awake again.

Getting up is a problem too. My SPD is killing me. Turning over in bed takes about half an hour and many moans and groans.

My hands and feet are fat and puffy and my wrists are killing me.

Thank god it can only go on for a little while longer... I can't wait to meet the baby and know that its all been worth it

Darthhoob

dont get me started!

I've spent most of christmas crying because I am so tired and have way too many hormones for my own good.
I'm annoyed that I am feeling so sick...I will not be partaking in christmas dinner. You suck kidneys....you SUCK.

Huge hugs...neither of us are having easy pregnancies but we have beautiful babies to look forward to. My little guy was kicking (is, he is back to it again) and I love that.

TargetWidow

I can really identify with the hormones run amok, last time I only cried once over a donkey sanctuary advert on the telly (I went off to bed in hysterics!), but this time I seem to cry at the drop of a hat. Sad songs, happy songs, DD being lovely, DD being a toddler, hubby being great, hubby being a man. You name it. Its the loss of control over everything that gets me, I LOVE being in control especially of myself. I can feel "possessed" some days. Poor hubby is waiting for my head to start spinning and pea soup to spew from me!
And today the tiredness. But DD and hubby and I are all off to bed now for at least a one hour nap. We'll all be hopefully quite sane again by 3.30p.m. and I will feel more like cooking and less like throwing the turkey out the kitchen window.
On a positive note, Santa came and it was good. DD has spent the entire morning playing with her new cooker and pots and pans. Who knows, next year I may retire from the Christmas culinary fray altogether.
Wishing the very best of all good things to all the lovely boards members I have been privileged to meet in the last two years. Nollaig Shona Daoibh go leir.
xxx doze.

So glad I'm not alone at being peeved not being able to drink Christmas day!
I wouldn't mind but generally I don't drink and I'm normally the designated driver at Christmas but would've loved a glass of west coast cooler today!

If that's the worst I have to worry about then I can't complain really

Baby is kicking the living daylights out of me all day though she'll only kick when hubbie puts his hand on my tummy, she won't perform for anyone else.
Think we have a daddys girl in the making

silja

I have toddler twins. Until now, one or the other of them usually woke up at least once a night for a cup of water and a diaper change. Now they finally sleep through, but I can;t because I have to get up pee so often!!!!!

Das Kitty

Had a miserable night last night. Didn't do a lot yesterday but when I went to bed I started getting fairly bad braxton hicks that were effectively pushing the little guys head lower and lower. So between them I'd have nearly nodded off only to wake up with that horrible sharp pain. It went on all night. I'm fecking destroyed now.

January

Not as bad as some of you! But Lord am I huge this time around!! I can't bend over to tie my shoes, I can't bend over the cot to put Addison to bed, I can hardly carry her around anymore!

hacked

I want a premature baby!! I'm awful mother I know. I'm an awful person. But I don't like my baby these days...really really. I don't think she likes me either. OK, I do like her, but I would just like her a lot more OUT of me. I just want the next 10 weeks ot be over, or else the little girl to decide whether she is going to be an early arrival.

Having really bad lower back pains etc. The mother is worried I am going into labour, but I will not beleive it till baby is half way out. It's going to take a lot to drag me back to the hospital!

I was out shopping with a friend in Dundrum the other week and had to have my friend tie my shoe laces in the middle of River Island. Very embarrassing!

I was over in Manchester at the weekend and didn't bring sensible shoes (silly me, snow was forecast!!), so we headed off to Matalan where I picked up a cheap pair of trainers. Wanted to change into them right away so went outside and re-laced them. Took my shoes off and put trainers on and then went to bend down and tie them... Wasn't happening!! My partners father asked me did I need a hand and rather than have him bend down and tie my shoes for me I went to find somewhere to sit down and do it!! Embarrassed or what!

TargetWidow

I hate the way my feet got all neglected and hard-skinned last time. This time I have asked for pedicures to begin when it becomes difficult to bend over and get at my feet myself.

I have to start physio next week to prevent my SPD from flaring up again. It has started already (only 12 weeks/) I'll be in a wheelchair by the end if I don't get it sorted.

And I have a cough. Which means I leak. :mad:

caprilicious

My buggering back tooth snapped today when I was happily munching away on a bag of skittles.
Does anyone know if the dentist can give you pain killers when you're preggers?

I can still reach my feet (just!) but haven't seen 'down there' in weeks & my belly button has dissapearred!

Moan over

TargetWidow

I think once you are over the 3 mth mark they switch from Lidocaine to a different one Carbocaine or something.... not professional advice, but do talk it over when you are making your appointment. Make sure they use two lead aprons if you need any xrays done although the dosage is very low. I had a dental xray without realizing I was a few days gone this time and freaked out and got back onto the dentist when I found out but he reassured me that Id be ok and that the dosage is so low you would need thousands of xrays on your mouth to have any effect. Good luck.

Last night I bounced on my ball for ages, had a curry AND we did the dirty need to try and get this baby out. All that happened was that the baby got hiccups!

caprilicious

Thanks for the advice Target Widow, I'm hoping I might get away with a filling but think it might need to be pulled :eek: not impressed, I don't do going to dentists!

TargetWidow

poor poor little child. RAOFLMAO!
Hiccups.
Bouncy bouncy, followed by curry followed by horsey horsey.

Thats a recipe for hiccups alright! Although tonight it sounds like a fun night in!
Good luck babe! Hope your babog arrives safe and soon.;)

I feel your pain hun! Due dates are cruel... you know theres no guarantee that they'll come that day but you kinds expect it anyway! I'm disgusted!

I thought maybe things were gonna happen this morning, I was quite crampy and getting a few tightenings. As soon as I got up to pee all was well again.

I have been doing a fair bit of tidying and sorting out of things today... dunno if thats nesting or just cos my Pop is coming to stay tomorrow - to see his first grandchild that hasn't bothered to arrive! Typical!

Vel

No one to blame but myself on this one, but as I'm an impatient so and so I decided to have No. 2 before I got back to my pre-pregnancy weight after first baby so I have a feeling I am going to be a big whale for this pregnancy. Already I feel 'stodgy' and I'm only over 5 weeks gone.

I know in the greater scheme of things there are more important things to worry about but I can't help it

TargetWidow

Just back from two days visiting my sister in Cork county and this cough is cracking me up. Bought some Tena Lady but thought they'd be classified like normal STs so bought the heavy duty "extra" ones thinking they'd have wings. Landed in cork and needed to fix one up and nearly had a spasm in the toilet when I take it out of the wrapper (it did seem a bit bulky mind you) and saw it. IT WAS FECKIN HUGE! Like about a foot long and about two inches thick! You could string a couple of women along it! Anyway had to use it as I hadn't any others and the house is in the middle of nowhere. It was so huge on me my sister commented "oh how cute. Youre only 12 weeks and you are waddling already!" She got a great laugh when I explained my waddling was down to not being able to get my legs together because of the small pillow I had in my knickers.

SO they're for the bin anyway. Am going back to the smaller size I used before. So depressing only being in my late 30s and having to use these yolks! Feel like a pensioner. You know that character from little britain that piddles everywhere all over the floor...... that one.

January

Thank you for making me laugh so hard that I nearly went into labour

Keep feeling like my waters are leaking... maybe tmi... sorry girls. But it's a PITA!

cbyrd

targetwidow that's so funny!! i have to say i've been blessed this time i've no bladder complaints at all not even getting up in the middle of the night...:D

5 days over now and i'm starting to lose the will to get up in the mornings.. i've been so tired yesterday and today i think i'd be too tired to push anyway!!!:D:eek: i'm afraid to leave the house there's so many people with the question... do they honestly think i'll keep it secret???:D

i'm starting to take bets now.. hopefully thursday they might start me off... fingers crossed.. if they send me home i'm going to open the bottle of brandy i got for christmas!!!:D;)

TargetWidow

Will we open a book on what day Cbyrd goes into labour? Fiver says tomorrow.:D Just don't make me laugh too hard. Same effect as coughing!

crazy cat lady

I didn't post an update on Facebook yesterday so today I had a few txts and phone calls from people wondering if the baby had arrived!

The answer is a big fat NO! :mad:

cbyrd

LOL i think it'll wait for eviction notice.. i'm betting on jan 7th.. that's the last day i can be left!! have to say though i'm going to miss being able to say ' will you do that i can't' .. i'm abusing it to the hilt!! it's great...:D:D

Up until now I've not taken advantage of my pregnant belly nearly enough!!

Baby has me in stitches. Right little character already. She doesn't like being cramped, and keeps getting annoyed and tries to make more room for herself. She starts pushing both sides of my tummy in a fit. The midwives in hospital were in stitches looking at my stomach move!

TargetWidow

I heard a rumour that the new thing for bringing it on is horsey horsey WHILST on the exercise ball. I think this is where you went wrong CrazyCatLady! And as for getting people to do stuff after the birth..... well muscle tone can be VERY slack. Could take WEEKS to snap back into shape. Till then you'd be weak as water. And use that phrase..... works a treat.;)

January

I reckon they will offer her a sweep on Thursday and book her in for induction at 41 weeks just in case it doesn't start anything

cbyrd

i've two little slaves lined up for plenty of work!! and they know it!! but my eldests response to me at the moment is ' but this is your baby mammy' ... :eek: she's 10...:D i'm doomed she's listening to her daddy too much!!!

As for horsey horsey on a ball... look what happened to me the last time i did that and that was without a ball !!!!! LMAO i'm not taking that risk again!!!!

That's gas, our little madam is the same, she'll only kick when her daddy has his hand on my tummy, she wont kick for anyone else!
If I sit upright and lean over to pick up something she'll give me an unmerciful boot in the ribs ie, you're squashing me, move!

I get a punch in the lady garden!

As for doing the dirty business on the gym ball... I'm pretty sure its strained under my weight, wouldn't want to be adding his weight too! No doubt the ball would burst, he'd be injured and I'd have to babies to look after! No thanks! Its been bad enough with his man flu!

Das Kitty

My wee fella hardly kicks at all now, just moves about sticking the odd knee or shoulder here and there. He must be so squished.

Think my days of walking about are numbered, went to the supermarket today and I could barely get around, can feel his head inside my pelvis now and it's like a constant period pain. Feeling sorry for the little man too, must be so annoying for him. His hiccups are now visible shaking my bum cheeks!

I just want to cry, I genuinely hate family sometimes. My mother wakes up moody so decides to make everyone else's life hell for the day too. I spent the morning slaving in the kitchen for her, and now my back is in bits. I have come down with a horrible chesty cold, and she insisted on keeping all the windows in the house open earlier. She has moaned and bitched and stressed me out so much I started having contractions again. And that's just the start of it. I am so tired I could cry. And I would like to kill something. :mad:

Poor you hacked... It's times like these I'm glad I don't live at home anymore.

The funny part of it is she tells me to just go back to my flat. I can't. My father threw my keys out on stephen's day. The Rent office won't be open till 2nd january and my landlord won't answer the phone. :pac:

I feel your pain Hacked. Just had a searing nasty email from my younger sister giving out to me that I hadn't told her I was pregnant and she heard it when she was home for Christmas. Feel like telling her if she bothered her arse to be in contact when she was home I would have gladly told her. Not that it would make any difference..... She knows my first child exists and hasn't seen her since I organised a lunch last Christmas for the entire family, and hasn't ever sent her a birthday or Christmas card. Useless at everything except criticizing everyone else she is. :mad: I feel so angry and thats not good for my little bobs stewing in all that stuff.

I only started telling people this day week. As they got in contact with me. And I am trying to organise an anniversary lunch for my mams anniversary (and am a bit weepy around it) for Jan 10th and she completely slated all my ideas.

Thank goodness for friends like we have here and in the real world. They more than make up for mad family members.:D Mwah to you all. xxx

Ah Target, I can relate to that! We love them really, the situations just don't help the hormones! Take it easy hon. xx

Das Kitty

So glad I don't see much of my family! My Mam is the only one I go out of my way for. If the others were laid back kind of people I'd make time for them but there's always fecking drama (that they create themselves!). I don't like drama, prefer any heightened emotions to be positive ones where at all possible.

Seeing my brother and granny tomorrow, he's gonna tell me about how he's going to break one of the other brothers' legs, she's going to give out to me for not covering my bump more because people will know "what I did". ****ing lunatics.

I am beginning to love this thread girls! Thats so funny about your granny Das Kitty! You have cheered me up! As for drama, my crowd are the same. They only do nasty. And I am giving some really serious thought to cancelling this lunch alltogether. There are 8 of us... 4 older, 6yr gap, me, 6 yr gap, 3 younger. The older ones call the 3 younger ones "wasters", the younger ones call the older ones "capitalist Btds" and I am the bridge in the middle expected to relay these messages of light and love. They are all bonkers at the moment (the capitalists) because two of them have been made redundant from the 100k pa jobs and didn't save during the good times. The younger ones are suggesting the older ones won't be able to afford the €15 per head for lunch as a wind up to them. The older ones are replying "well we can't ALL deal drugs on the side!" Why am I doing this at all? :eek: I might have a bad dose of morning sickness that day and not be able to go and just let them at it!;)

Or you could just go and get sick AT the lunch to spite them all! :P

The mother is in a much better mood now, and the 4 year old monster is finally in bed! Woohoo!
I spent the last few minutes with my arms spread wide chasing her around the living room yelling "Belly's gonna git ye!!" before crushing her with the bump on the couch. She thought it was funny...and she did go to bed. lol
