My darling wonderful not at all about to be dead husband who I love dearly has told me the sound of the acid gurgling up my oesphagus, my poor torn bleeding oesphagus, is keeping him awake.

I’m UTTERLY convinced no court in the land could convict me.

Yes dear husband let’s talk about your single night of disturbed sleep. That’s what we’ll focus on.....:: forget how exhausted your wife is from growing a human, simply existing, getting on with all of the day to day stuff that needs to be dealt with and managed while getting bigger and more uncomfortable in ways you can’t even begin to imagine....... let’s talk about the one night you didn’t sleep as well as usual.

I’d give you an award rather than a conviction.

A Mam in the yard this morning said to me “Jesus, you’re having the longest pregnancy ever”.

Really sorry you’re finding this to be such a drag Janet. Wish I could speed it up for you. I am selfishly enjoying it all too much.

Not even going near the “I hope it’s a boy” comments I am STILL getting.

cyning · 19-11-2018 9:40pm

So 6.5 years ago I missed Westlifes final concerts because I was 37 weeks pregnant and couldn’t go.

Fast forward to next year. Can’t go to their comeback concert because I will have a 6 week old. And realistically I won’t leave them and won’t bring them. And now to top it all the Spice Girls who I LOVE and not only that who my 6 year old loves are having a comeback concert THE DAY I’M DUE! Like what the absolute.... seriously like I know in grand scheme of hyperemesis and babies and everything it’s no big deal but.... god it annoys me!!

32 Weeks this week.
Had a bit of an emotional breakdown earlier in the week, told the baby daddy that I need his help, I need him to be here more to help with the first born.
He has been home once this week in time to say goodnight to her. He is gone out to a game tonight and will be gone training on Sunday for most of the day.
What do you not get about I need you to help me out a bit????

That’s so frustrating!! We had a chat about him putting a hobby on hold- involved in local musical society but then all these small parts came up in various plays etc that were “minimum commitment”. Yeah sure, not when you’re doing 5 of them concurrently!!!

I found that asking for specific things I.e. look after bins/pets/do the shop worked better than a generic plea for help! And if there were complaints, I’d offer to swap and do those and he could do ALLLLLL the rest. Works for the moment. Totally 100% get the frustration tho!

Cash_Q · 24-11-2018 12:34am

Yes same here, baby is 8 weeks and we always had assigned responsibilities around the house but there is so so so much more to be done now. I've told him specific tasks to keep on top of and if he complains I'll write him a list of everything I do. I know he's tired from work but the baby is a full time job in itself

Milime - Maybe list everything you do around the house and all that needs to be done with your first born, and ask him which he would like to take responsibility for.

MiliMe · 24-11-2018 1:03pm

We don't even have the baby room sorted yet. I know it's not coming next week, but come on!!! There's a chest of drawers sitting in the hall all week. I think its light enough that I'd probably be able to get it up the stairs on my own but I'm not gonna risk it. Was up and down out of the attic last week getting bags of clothes to sort out for new baby and was just shattered after that.

Suggested bringing number 1 to the Christmas lights turning on this evening and I'm told he won't be here.

Like I know that women in Africa have babies in the fields and carry on working but they don't have attics, or stairs!!! ðŸ˜ (kidding in case anyone gets offended)

And what's worse is I feel bad for giving out about him!!!

catrionanic · 24-11-2018 8:03pm

Oh I could literally kill my husband this evening. First night in new house and he's acting like a selfish teenager. All husband rants are welcome here... goodness knows I am guilty of enough of them!

witchgirl26 · 26-11-2018 3:31pm

Just found this thread. Can I just say I also hate people who park in the mother & child spaces who distinctly aren't. And I don't even have other children (16 weeks on my first) but I hate them on behalf of my sister-in-laws and my sister. There's "Expectant Mother" spaces in a supermarket near me and I won't even park in them yet because I'm still ok to get around and there are much further along women than me who'll need them a lot more. Although love that they are there for people and I will use them in the future!

I had an absolute screaming session at my OH the other day because anytime I mention feeling tired or a bit nauseous his only response is to ask me to go to the doctor to get checked. Just wouldn't listen that they won't give me anything for the nauseous feeling as I'm keeping food and water down and just feel sick (thankfully not being sick) so will just say "ah that's tough but normal". Snapped when he said it again and told him to cop on. He seems to have gotten the message and has agreed to not keep saying that.

Throughout my pregnancy I was sick at least a few nights every week. My husband never once asked if I was ok, or offered me water or anything. He must have just thought its part of being pregnant and so be it, suffer on. Men are SO clueless sometimes.

Oh jaysus that’s a bit bad. I would have lost the rag with him! Although not sure which is worse - the over-cautious or the ignoring. Probably both as bad in their own way.

They defo are clueless as hell at times.

It pissed me off so much but sure if I had to tell him to ask if I was ok even once it defeats the purpose like. He once woke me up to tell me I was snoring. Something I never did to him every night for 15 years, when I could have! He doesn't mean to be inconsiderate, he is just clueless at times!

And I’ve torn my oesphagus again. Just lovely.

Penny Dreadful · 23-12-2018 3:33pm

Husbands! Seriously!!
It’s been a hectic few weeks for everyone I’m sure, being pregnant in the lead up to Christmas is not easy. I’m 29 weeks now and while things are going well I feel enormous, my heartburn and nausea are back with a bang and I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old in tow too.
Last night / this morning my husband (who must have a death wish) woke me up at 5am to ask if I had any tissues by my side of the bed as his nose was running and he felt like he was coming down with a cold.
I kid you not!

Is he still alive?!

Also still puking and am now in serious pain down my back and legs this pregnancy stuff sucks.

Loveinapril · 26-12-2018 4:44pm

Still upset that I couldn't eat the pate started yesterday but my nausea stopped by about 2pm which was great.

Still alive? Just about. That’s mostly because he is useful for taking the kids out to the playground and for a walk to allow me either have a nap or just some peace and quiet.
He did come extraordinarily close to death yesterday though. I’m 30 weeks now and like you and most others have bad back pain, one side in particular down into the hip and leg. We went out for a family lunch yesterday which was very nice and on the way home I asked him to pull into the local Dunnes Stores as I needed to pick up a spare duvet for my daughters bed (she had wet the bed the night before and the duvet she had was soaked and needed a proper cleaning).

It’s quite close to our house and usually I’d walk home but yesterday I was very sore, had been up since 04:30 (hey just like right now!) due to the bed wetting incident and was exhausted. My lovely specimen of marital bliss said to me “I think you should walk home, get your steps up for the day and you did eat a big lunch after all”!!!
No, I’m not messing. Those words actually came out of his mouth. Luckily for him I cried instead of killing him. Also luckily for him I know that it was his stupid way of asking if I wanted to walk home rather than him telling me I was a massive oaf who needed to walk home and he genuinely thought walking would help the back and hip issue.
Still though he got a sharp lesson in how to ask something and how not to.

I’m having reflexology this morning at 09:30 and I really hope it does something to alleviate the pain in my right side. I also think I might be developing carpel tunnel FFS!

cyning · 31-12-2018 6:53pm

I have a kidney infection and sinusitis which have flared up my hyperemesis. im dehydrated. My husband asked me would I not just drink more.

Seriously 3rd baby. 2nd full blown hyperemesis pregnancy. The other one was severe non stop nausea and vomiting from 20 weeks on.

Drink more? And yes he’s worried but like ya. Clueless is not the name for it.

Penny Dreadful · 02-01-2019 10:52pm

Bloody 3rd trimester. My back is killing me. Heartburn is viscious. I’m necking bottles of Gaviscon at this stage to get a modicum of relief. Sleep is elusive from around 2:30am onwards. Baby is doing lots of moving about which is great but for some reason loves to stick her bottom right into my liver or stomach. It’s not comfortable.
Have had a few rough nights of late and I’m just so tired.
The icing on the cake is that I’m starting toilet training with my little boy tomorrow the poor pet. Hopefully it will click with him quickly enough as it did with his sister.

angeldelight · 08-01-2019 5:43am

20 weeks and sleep is already going to pot - FML! Got barely any last night due to sore hip and awake 3yo so was exhausted all day. Went to bed at 9.30... slept til 2.30 then had to go for a wee and been awake since. Made worse by the fact I still have bloody hyperemesis and tiredness makes it worse so guaranteed a rubbish day

It’s really hard isn’t it? I got physio for my hip and back on Monday and it was great. Well it hurt at the time but I felt much better after it. Also the physio showed me so good stretches to do which have helped me during the week to keep things from getting too sore or messed up again.
Growing humans is hard hard work!

cyning · 17-01-2019 2:08pm

People are driving me mad. Like properly mad. Especially in my wonderfully gossipy mostly full of women work place. So....

1. I am sick of puking. I am sick of needing fluids. But mostly I am sick of people saying oh you look great. Well clearly as you are saying that as I am coming out of the loo puking you know I’m not so stop talking complete and utter rubbish.

2. No matter what I puke water. No I don’t know why. No I know water is good for me. No matter how many times I say it you still suggest it.

3. I now have SPD. I may need crutches. It is not even one tiny bit funny to imitate me walking. I’m in pain and it hurts.

4. Do not tell me antibiotics are bad for me. Again I know it’s preferable not to need them but I don’t have much choice.

5. Finally STOP TOUCHING ME. Seriously just stop. Yes I have a bump. That does not mean you can touch me.

Aaaaand deep breath. I’m going to scream.

Poor you. One of those things on its own is either really annoying or difficult to deal with but all of them together is an absolute no!
How many weeks are you? Is it possible for you to be signed off work from now or even for a little while?
I had bad SPD on my first pregnancy and it’s really dreadful, just no respite is there? I have it a bit again this time but it’s manageabke compared to the first time.
The vomiting is awful too. I had that so badly on my last pregnancy I really feel for you. Again looking back on it I don’t know what I was doing by continuing to go to work all the way through.
As for other humans... well they’re just too much.
Hope you feel even a tiny bit better soon.

cyning · 20-01-2019 10:36pm

I was off sick for over 2 months at the start with the hyperemesis so I’m out of sick pay so need to try keep working as long as possible so I can take more unpaid leave. Ah could be worse it’s just frustrating... the SPD is awful though.

Penny Dreadful · 31-01-2019 8:12am

34+5 now and the baby is big and strong which is wonderful.
What is not wonderful is how much my back hurts! It is in ribbons and I’m not even that big ..... as it goes. My babies tend to be very long and this one is no exception to that rule.
She is head down- sometimes it feels like she is so far down she is taking a little peek at the outside world before quickly retracting her head again. My liver and stomach are being pummelled by her feet.
SPD has kicked in with full force too.

I know all of this is normal and to be expected at this stage but bloody hell it isn’t easy.

Harleen Quinzel · 17-03-2019 2:59pm

Heartburn :mad:

Trying to decide on a name, I have a few on my list and each suggestion has been met with “no”.

When I ask OH if he has any suggestions or alternatives to offer I get told “no”.

I’m guessing this baby shall remain nameless, or be called “no”.

Lia_lia · 30-03-2019 8:04pm

Getting a bit sick of it all now! First morning sickness, then awful heartburn, then SPD. Just found out this week I have gestational diabetes. No risk factors at all. My GP tests everyone so I was lucky they caught it. The thoughts of having no Easter egg!

Also means I'll be knocked off the domino scheme. Really hope it doesn't mean I'll be induced. Almost 28 weeks so a bit more to go...

Please don't kill me for this but I really think a lot of women look amazing when pregnant, their skin glows and their hair gets really shiny in a lot of cases. I think there is something lovely about that.

I would comment on it but guess I should stop! That said, I would never touch a bump....how invasive.. who thinks that's ok.

Believe me when I say I’m not one of them! My skin is dry and blotchy from constant mild dehydration and vomiting everyday, I have roots because I can’t bear the thoughts of the hairdressser touching me, you can actually see flakes of skin on my arms, my nails are brittle and damaged. Ya lots do look great, but after 29 weeks of vomiting and dehydration I am just not one of them.

Skybirdjb · 01-04-2019 2:18pm

I was waiting the whole 40+6 to get this "glow" everyone was on about
I just looked a big fat mess 😂 Hobbling around on my crutches with my humongous belly and after getting my husband to help me shower I really did not feel like I was glowing let me tell u that .
When people kept saying " oh you look great " I was like ..... I know your lying lol

cyning · 01-04-2019 2:51pm

The crutches.... pain in the arse of yokes they are. My arms hurt, my pelvis, my belly, the pressure. There should be a rule that if you get one sh*tty pregnancy thing you shouldn’t get too. I’ve pukef in my hand more times than I’d care to admit lately cause I physically can’t get to bathroom on time!

Skybirdjb · 01-04-2019 3:00pm

Oh cyning you poor thing ! I know the pain of them so so well .... And my poor husband trying to get me up the stairs at night .
Then there is the staring when your out and about .... How long have you left cyning?

cyning · 01-04-2019 4:20pm

7.5 weeks. What is going to be a very very long 7.5 weeks! I broke my wrist a couple of years ago badly which hadn’t helped, and neither does standing around at soccer matches! I’m just over it all and wish I was 37 weeks and baby would come.

Gatica · 18-06-2019 2:13pm

I noticed no-one has moaned about anything in a while... let me get the ball rolling again :rolleyes:

29 weeks now, for about 3 weeks now I've been getting comments from lots and lots of people about my enormous bump. I'm usually fairly ok with it, as I do recognise that it's not small and measure big for dates, but it's now starting to bug me and worry me. I've had "is it twins?", "are you SURE it's not twins?" and even "maybe it's triplets", or "wow, didn't realise you had so much to go yet" when I say I'm not due another 3 months (well, just under now).

I just hope it's not actually a really enormous baby.

Awww Gatica people love sharing their opinions don’t. Take no notice, if you were tiny they’d still be saying something also.

My tolerance is gone and I’m only 13 weeks. I snapped at my father in law yesterday.
I have been in bed rest for 5 weeks due to having asthma attacks low blood pressure HG.
I couldn’t wait to get pregnant and now I’m miserable.
I just keep telling myself it will be worth it at Christmas when I meet my little bundle ðŸ˜Š

I did start clearing out cupboards yday and found my 5 year old sons clothes so that perked me up a bit ðŸ˜Š

Baby19 · 18-06-2019 4:01pm

Awh Gatica it's awful isn't it. I'm the opposite though, 31 weeks and keep being told how small my bump is...you can't win!!:D

I had this aswell as my bump is quite big, I've been showing since about 9 weeks. I'm 34 weeks now so the size is sort of settling finally. Note that every time I've been measured or had a scan the size is spot on so it's just how the bump looks!
However now people are compelled to tell me stories of going early, I don't want to hear them, I feel jinxed!

Aw you poor thing that sounds rough, I hope you are ok!

I've had every "minor" issue under the sun and it's terrible I don't want to complain as it was difficult to get pregnant so I feel like I should be grateful. but it can be very difficult when you can't breathe, can't walk, everything's swollen and can't do anything! I am trying to do one baby related job a day to keep the spirits up... I can't get over the size of the tiny baby clothes

Oh stop. I’m 36 weeks. Went to gp last week to get a cert for work because I was just too ginormous and sore to drag myself around every day (my job is quite physical). I hadn’t seen him all throughout this pregnancy, he just eyeballed me and said “I’d say it isn’t a small baby”. As if that was any way helpful. Oh and then he said “I thought you were 37 weeks” (I was 35 at the time). I’ve been getting it a LOT all throughout. It’s true, in fairness, I try to avoid catching sight of my side profile in mirrors. I hope it’s all fluid!

They are tiny. I have the baby grow my son wore when he was first born, now he’s a giant compared to it!

I know how you feel. We have been trying 18 months and had a mc in october, this week we would have been due.
So like you said I’m trying not to complain and concentrate on the positives! It will be worth it at the end x

How far gone are you x

Oh you poor thing I hope this week hasn't been too hard on you

I'm 34 weeks now hard to believe I've another 6 weeks to be honest. I just finished work because all the issues were getting too much to cope with on top of worl. Today's job was cleaning the travel system and I found what seems like a packet of biscuits crumbled in there which was gas! Better get used to that sort of thing eh

I barely took off my rings today when started to notice I couldn't fold my fingers fully. My 1/2 size too big shoes are now painfully small. I think I'm starting to swell, and I'm half scared it may be high blood pressure or some issue, and half hoping the doctor will tell me I gotta take it easy and can't work.

I know I'm lucky in this pregnancy compared to many others but it doesn't make it easier putting up with it day in day out.

no argument there!
seems like not a big deal until you gotta deal with it 24/7 for days/weeks/months on end!

Heartburn is horrific! Don’t suffer in silence mention it at your next appointment and they should give you something much better than Gaviscon or Rennies

I'm 36 weeks and was prescribed Zantac about 6 weeks ago and it is the best thing that happened. I was waking in the night for Gaviscon, it was horrendous.
