The Pregnant Womans Moan Thread.

It's an odd one, coz I'm not actually feeling that bad tho when the bleeds happen they're a bit scary, they've only lasted like two bathroom visits so you end up feeling a bit of a fraud when there's others in here so sick!

Not at all - you're in the best place for yourself and babs, they wouldn't admit you if they didn't feel there was a need

I seem to be the annoying sleeper in our house. I had a pillow under my bump the other night and while half asleep tried to move it. Because I was lying on it, my hand flew off and I punched my poor husband in the nose. He didn't even remember the next day

My husband just brought in one of my "Christmas" presents because it just arrived and insisted I take it now instead of at Christmas (what's the point like?), it's a f*cking massive pregnancy pillow, with two giant long sides of pillow. It's huge, we have a normal double bed, it, me and him will never fit.

It was 50e, which he doesn't have spare and for something that I don't bloody need, I have nothing remotely resembling a bump yet and going by my family's genes I'm not likely to have a hint of one until 6-7 months, so where the f*ck is this giant thing supposed to live til then?

His heart was in the right place but goddammit I am sick of him spending money on things we don't need, and things I'm supposed to be delighted to receive and then have to find places to keep them. And now I feel like a b!tch because I was just when he opened it out, whereas he wanted me to be happy and pleased, but I just hate the waste of money and cluttering up the place with things we don't need.

In a couple of months I'll be 6-7 months, so at best he's spent 50 quid on a pillow I'll use for 3 months, we have nowhere to store something this big indefinitely.

The really galling thing is I really need a new actual pillow, and he goes and gets this fecking giant one

Moving home I already have heartburn but sitting up more or more pillows doesn't help it. This pillow is so HUGE, like, storage of it will be a major issue afterwards, they should sell it with a bag it fits neatly into because it was small when it was wrapped up super tight.

Ok, we've all calmed down now. I feel so awful, but so mad at the same time. He was broken hearted when I didn't love it, I hate that, he is the sweetest most amazing man and I hate when I can't cover up my annoyance when I know he was trying to be lovely and I just see the waste of money. I sound so ungrateful, lots of women would love to have a man who was so thoughtful, paid attention to me not sleeping well, researched it and got me what would be one of the best pillows, in that it has two sides, so lots of support, and he said he doesn't need much of the bed so it doesn't matter that it'd take up space And he said he knows I love sleeping with loads of pillows around me so thought I'd love it *sobs with love*

But at the same time, I don't feel this is something I would've bought myself, the sheer size of it, and I would've waited until I felt I needed it. And also, he has social things coming up soon that he needs to save money for so I wish he'd kept his money for that. So we're both feeling hurt (him by me, me by seeing his poor face), both disappointed with ourselves, this is rotten.

I am not a crier and I sobbed for 20 minutes about how ungratefully I reacted Tbf, I said thanks and stuff, he just knows me well enough to know what I'm thinking.

He's gone to work now so I'm going to have nice dinner ready when he gets in later, and he can have some of my ice cream stash, God I feel so awful. Will definitely be helping out with his spending money for his social stuff soon!

Oh Blingy I'd kill your fella!

I know, he is an absolute gem, but that's why I have to remind him to reign in the generous gifts because otherwise he'd spend all his spare money on presents for everyone and be broke and our house would be like a hoarders

I am very aware of how special and brilliant he is, a friend of mine is currently dealing with the kind of guy who doesn't get it yet, comments on why she's so tired, why didn't she do this, why doesnt' she want to do that etc, whereas mine whips around with a worried face if I so much as say ouch over anything, be it pregnancy related or just me being clumsy

He knows I think he is the bestest, this was a blip, we'll be ok by bedtime

Yeah indigo I said I want to hug him not a pillow!

I'll give it a try but most likely I will keep it because I couldn't make him return it or sell it on now. The more I thought about it the more I would say it would make a great pillow for breastfeeding (if that works out) if you sat inside the curved bit and folded one long bit behind you for support. And he's right, I do love sleeping with pillows around me, so maybe I can just use it as my treat when he goes away rather than raiding all the pillows in the house to make a kind of fort

Another thing I used it for was along the back of the couch when I was lying down. You know the way it can tilt abit. Not funny trying to get out of that situation alone when your bump arrives!!

Cosycottager I just had a lovely deep tissue massage a few days ago for sciatic pain and upper back, it was amazing. I had issues with my sciatic nerve last year and had the same massage and went to an osteopath and it didnt hurt again until now but now theres a legitimate reason with my pelvis moving.

The massage and osteo are suitable during pregnancy but now I am one of those people why enjoys deep painful massage and the sciatic work the last day was SORE, like a hot knife, but fixed it immediately. I go about once every 6-8 weeks for back issues which Im going to keep up or go more often if needed.
