  • Hi everyone,

    Hope everyone is feeling ok. Bear - I hope its nothing to worry about, I hear bleeds can be quite common throughout pregnancy.

    I've not been on for a while as it consumes so much of my time (i dont get enough done with my days normally without coming on here!!).
    EA- sorry to hear about your loss - hopefully you'll be back again soon.

    Am getting really close to the end now - got my induction booked in for thurs morning but according to the mw i saw on sat i should deliver before then. She did a sweep and apparently i was already 2-3cm dilated and thats without much uterine activity. She thought I was likely to go into active labour over the weekend........but I'm still waiting!! (the waiting around has made the time drag soooo much - never been so bored!)

    I have had my show and am just waiting for the pain to start...its GOT to be today. please send labour vibes!!!!

    Oh and labour vibes to everyone else who needs them:D

    Wouldn't make a difference to my hubby bear, he only drinks coke... And would just swig from the bottle if there were no clean glasses...

    He does the dishwasher now seeing as I can't bend over it... And does the litter tray because of the cat poop risk... But I have to remind him constantly... And I'm sitting here today in a house that stinks of cat pee because the litter needs changing but all he could be bothered to do yesterday was scoop the poop...

    I get sick of asking... And being treated like a nag... But he really is untidy... He'll step over something 20 times before he'll pick it up... And even then, probably only because I've asked... His excuse is, he works so he doesn't need to clean the bath... Or mop the floor...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Searching - That's why you NEED a garden! isn't that a good enough reason for the council to give you one?? :p having grown up in a house where dogs were strictly forbidden inside the idea of having one in the house all the time grosses me out a bit :o
    Shell - Hope they can do something for your Nan xx
    Tara - at least they 'look' clean?? :D
    Bear - Glad ur boss is being less of a cow, it is common to have some bleeding in early pregnancy most often around when you would have been having a period, I read that something like 1 in 4 pregnant women have unexplained bleeding in pregnancy so I'm sure your fine :)
    I had some at 4ish weeks which they put down to implantation but I was soo scared because it happened just a few days after my friend had found out she'd had an ectopic.

    Well I feel skank :( I have thrush in my mouth - receptionist at GPs said its just as common as having it 'down there' but I can't help thinking I've passed it on myself _pale_ so I'm now washing my hands constantly and I've changed all the hand towels. yuk yuk yuk!! (It blooming hurts too!! my tongue is constantly tingling :mad:)

    sorry to hear, bumble...big hugs & my thoughts are with you & your family

    Krystal - is this your first? i dunno, i'm only 6 1/2 wks, but already OH wants to treat me like glass! it's sweet, but a tad annoying at times...I'm sure it will wear off when he gets sick of me being pregnant, lol. the only thing I can think of is making one afternoon designated cleaning time - I find my OH much more willing to help clean if I'm cleaning too, so I save mine until he's home and then we each do 1 thing at the same time.

  • Hugs going out to you bumblebee.

    My husband is the opp - hes a bit ocd about the house and complains that i'm untidy. He has been doing a lot more since I got pregnant (we blitz the house together at the weekends, and he does more than I do) but he does complain that it needs blitzing in the first place - seeing as i'm at home i should be keeping on top of it. I think its only going to get worse when I'm too busy/tired running around after a baby - especially as he might take a backseat with regards to the cleaning when i'm no longer pregnant. :(

    It's my second... Have a 5yo... And hubby's very good at saying 'you sit down and rest today darling' and never makes me feel bad for not doing things... But I can't just sit here and look at the mess, I can't let people visit when the place hasn't been vacuumed in a fortnight and Aimee's half eaten apple is still sitting on the coffee table!

    lol, at least he's got the "sit down and rest" part right, now if only he would clean while you're resting! lol...

    probably harder for people who stay at home to get their OH's to clean, I can see that...i'm sure mine will turn into that someday when the baby is born and I'm not working full-time!!
