I felt really supported by my husband at the start of the pregnancy, now I'm feeling utterly ignored. I don't know if it's paranoia/hormones or if it's actually happening.
:(:([/QUOTE]
I think we all feel like that but they are only human too, I was thinking to myself if roles were reversed I'd be a bit overwhelmed if I was my OH, I have this hormonal partner who could snap at any time and the daunting aspect of becoming a dad.....I think they are just as terrified as us they are just less likely to say it out loud as they are seen to be the 'strong' one.
I don't think your OH means it he probably doesn't realise he's acting any different, maybe organise a date night? Cinema or something to eat forget all about the other cr*p going on.
Don't lose sight of what's important x0 -
I think another thing to realise is that our partners are really unable to 'get' what we are going through. They aren't growing a baby, and dealing with all the changes to their bodies, the rampant hormonal changes, sickness, tiredness, etc. etc. Through no fault of their own they just don't understand what it's like or what is expected of them. And unless we tell them when we need help or rest or whatever it is that is upsetting us, they aren't going to know. It really does have to be spelt out. And because when you're a first timer you don't even really know yourself, its hard to deal with having to explain it all to another newbie aswell!
Hormones & paranoia seem to go hand in hand alright though!!
I think that issues which may have been stressful at the best of times (moving house, changing jobs etc), are also really amplified when we are pregnant. 0 -

I can relate to this except I don't feel ignored, I feel 'tolerated'!
And about the date night, I think the point is that he should be suggesting that not her right?!0 -

I had my first consultant appt on thursday, he had patients with appts starting at 9am and he showed up at 11. Granted there can be emergencies and maybe that is what happened, but nobody was told anything, we were all sitting there listening to the nurses giving out about his absence. One actually said "someone should ring him and remind him he's supposed to be here".
During my appt he went through my bloods and recommended I get B12 injections from my GP. He said to just tell my GP what my bloods are and it should be fine. But my GP said he'd need a letter from my consultant, even if he did his own blood tests he'd need a recommendation from the consultant before giving any injections. So I've spent two days trying to get through to his secretary or anyone else who can get me a letter. But there has been no answer from her at all and no response to messages. The main line can just make appointments so is no use to me.
Yesterday, I called the number given to me (by the midwife) to enquire about the physio classes and when I rang I was told to email and given an email address, so I sent an email asking things like what stage of pregnancy they are recommended and what to expect in a class (I don't know whether I should go or not, having only heard of them on thursday). I got back:Please fill in booking form on line and send with all your details.
So having rang the number I was given, emailed the address I was then given that was the reply. Literally that was all there was in the email. Nobody said hello or signed it off, made any attempt to answer any questions, it feels very dismissive. AND I can't find the form on their website. 0 -

ShaSha have you an exercise ball to sit on? Also try getting on all fours and gently rock your hips from side to side and front to back. At this stage of late pregnancy your tail bone does actually start moving about to make room for the emergence of baby's head, we were only discussing it this evening in Pilates class 0 -
I did my glucose test last Thursday morning and my gp texted me the results today. All good.
Are you providing your own lucozade? If so open the bottle now and maybe even shake it a bit, so it won't be too fizzy in the morning! Makes it a bit easier to drink. (this was a tip my gp gave me ... Clever lady) 0 -

I do, but it really, really hurts to sit on it now with the pain. Moving my hips at all is quite sore, I have been trying!
Its gotten to the stage now (gotten progressively worse over the course of the day) that I'm walking around doing my crochet rather than sitting because I hate the thoughts of having to stand up!0 -

Nope, according to the letter, I will be provided with it there. I don't mind lucozade but not for breakfast! 0 -

Oh my word, you poor lamb. It must be shockingly bad Would a hot water bottle held against it help? I find that very good for back relief.
Is it a coming and going pain or a solid pain? Any other cramps? Any pain down the legs?0 -

No pain down the legs and a few hicks and some pinching where I can only describe as beingbehind my clitorus, as in on the inside but in the same place.It's mild-moderate constant for the past few hours now, but gets worse if I move about and then settles back to mild-moderate if I stay still.0 -
