    Sick of asking

    What comes next after you give up asking OH to help, or to do the things he promised? I wouldn't mind but he KEPT saying "don't do that, I'll do that tomorrow" so I leave these little things and then he doesn't do them and they build up into a massive chore! I wouldn't care so much of he was...

    B!tch of the year award

    Goes to me. Feeling sooo resentful... DH hasn't helped with baby for quite a while. No feeds or changes for going on 5 days now. He sometimes carries him up the stairs for me at bedtime. Today he went to the gym after work for an hour or so, came in, had dinner and said he felt sick so went...

    Birth story with a touch of drama!

    Ooh it's been a while. SO much has happened so here goes: Labour It all started at 41 weeks and 4 days. I'd had my second sweep the day before and at 3am I felt my waters go. No 'pop' or huge gush, more than a trickle though. When I checked my pad there was thick yellow discharge-like...

    NHS incompetence and partial birth story...

    I WILL get round to doing my birth story soon, it was full of dramatics! But just a quick question.. DH wants to seriously complain to the NHS as I'm pretty sure we were neglected, but what's your opinion..? Basically after my second sweep my waters broke at 3am and seemed yellowish. At 8am I...

    Home visits

    I have this very horrible feeling the midwife isn't turning up for my stretch and sweep. She said someone would be here between 9 and 12, wrote it in her diary, but knowing my luck so far this pregnancy I've been forgotten about and will have to wait until tomorrow or even longer for it :( I...

    40 weeks + 3 days - breakdown

    Worst midwife appointment ever... After having to chase this appointment down to even be seen before next week (41+4!!) they stuck me on the end, ad as usual they were running late so I sat there for an hour before I got seen. No big deal though, as long as I'm getting my sweep and my...

    My body is so cruel!!

    The day before my due date, I would LOVE a due date baby.. I had these weird disgusting (TMI warning) eggy tasting burps all last night and this morning, despite yesterday only eating chicken nuggets and chips, and a ham sandwich later. Nothing warranted this horrible taste. DH woke me at...

    DTD with TMI!

    Sooo typical! DH's skin is a little 'sore' down there :( can't even suggest wrapping it in a condom cos it's kinda the sperm I need! Hahaha :D if only I'd bought soothing aloe vera lube and not tingle lube, then I could smother and commence with the rape hehe.. Think the tingle stuff might kill...

    How to get a sweep?!

    Hi ladies! In my dreams I had a sweep done at the hospital for some reason lol. I have woken up and decided how unfair it is I have to wait until 40+4 (I know, how petty lol) as my midwife/midwives only work Mondays and tuesdays and Monday was fully booked when I tried to call for an appointment...

    What's your water bill?

    Heyyy, I would appreciate some input here ladies :D I'm pretty sure we've been overpaying for our water bill. I can't remember exactly what it is but I know for our move to the new bigger house (well it's only a small 3 bed, but bigger than our 2 bed flat!) we've allowed £100 a month for...

    Resigned :(

    I have resigned myself to the fact I'm gonna go overdue :( something really needs to be happening by either tomorrow or the day after for him to be on time, I've been reading into a few symptoms too much and giving myself false hope. Been trying to prepare him since 32 weeks and actively trying...

    You just gotta love the tactics of...

    Cancellation teams!! After being pushy, waffly, and a lot of "but we can offer you..." they finally resorted to - "but I don't understand whyyy you're leaving us?!?!" hahaha Because you raised your prices at a VERY convenient time for me - mid contract just as my 6 months half price had...

    The 'midwife' experience

    How have you all found it? I'm sitting here a little miffed after my appointment Tuesday.. I've seen about 4 or 5 in my time at that doctors, all who do things differently, I was flicking through my notes and saw that no one went through the breastfeeding page with me (that says 'to be...

    So uncomfortable! 38+ weeks!

    Seriously!! I'm guessing this is the pain people with SPD are feeling... My whole pelvic region and inside my upper thighs are killing. Can't stand up straight or walk, feel like I'm splitting in half! :( Just wish him being engaged could give me some indication of his arrival date! People...

    TMI to the max!

    Soooo, I just went to the loo, and when I first started weeing I thought I heard a bit of a 'plop' into the water. I'm not 100% though and unfortunately I didn't have my contact lenses in or glasses on so couldn't inspect very well lol. I went number one and two, no pain, wiped front to back and...

    EPO causing arguments lol

    So I ran out of Evening Primrose Oil capsules :( ! For some bizarre reason Holland & Barrett are doing 60 capsules 1300mg for £4ish, and 60 capsules 1000mg for £6-something ?? So obviously I text DH clearly stating the 1300mg ones with the price. I said no substitutions if they were sold out...

    Stretch mark styles!!

    So over the past couple of days I've been getting 2 types of stretch marks. There are long red ones on my hips (which I've had before from weight gain, not too worried..) and on the bottom half of my tummy which are really different. It's like all the texture has changed and it looks a bit like...

    Bit worried - TMI

    Just a bit of advice really... 2 days ago I went to see my midwife. Urine from that morning was clear but I was having horrible cramps and felt sick so she sent me down to the hosp to get monitored. There they took another urine sample and said I had a UTI but told me to go back the next...

Well they're only £1...

    Tell me what you're suffering from!

    Feeling sorry for myself. Can't sleep and am thinking about all the things that I have accumulated so far in this trimester (poss tmi) - am I normal or is this excessive? - Anaemia - Excruciating back ache - Urine infection (the treatment of which caused the next one) - Thrush - Piles -...
