Aw deary me! What a super saturday we all seem to be having.

Nikkit - I really feel for you, there has been times when me and OH have nearly split up during this pregnancy, one where I moved out temporarily and one where I went "missing" for a while because despite doing no housework ever he complained I hadn't done the effing dishes while he was out. I ended up stranded in the torrential rain at 36 wks in an dark empty Next car park unable to restart the car! I even started flat hunting at one point which would've been a terrible upheaval.

I know it seems really bad now, especially with your pg hormones and everything else you are having to suffer after your op. I would try and shut the door on it all if you can for a bit, otherwise it will get too much for you. If you manage to separate yourself from it for a bit, you will feel much calmer and more in control should any more crap come your way about your DD. Also if you get in the thick of it might cause the problem to escalate and you will both possibly end up at a point you will find it difficult to turn back from.

Hiya Aless :wave: glad you are in the better group!

Nanc - I know! I've got two days on you and I'm on my 10th box of RLT and have ate/drank so much pinapple/pinapple juice my mouth is red raw. I don't like curry but have had hot chilli and have bounced for England on my ball. I can't say at nearly 41 wks I feel like having much sex either. I'm convinced none of it works! And yes Fitzio you are right - I have thought it's ok doing all these things but some of it is surely going to give you a gyppy tummy!

Kindof - what a pain your neighbour is! Hope the winter makes him give up his diy hobby for a bit!

EA - I got loads of headaches to around the same stage as you but I can honestly say I've not had one since about 26 wks so hopefully its a hormone thing that will pass.

Redmel - hugs sorry you are feeling rubbish x

I've not had a great day so far but not as bad as some of you. My mum bought my DD a torch to use on halloween (which she is obssessed with) but no matter how we try, batteries will not fit properly nor will it work. At one point sparks were coming off it! DD, as some of you will remember me saying, is currently undergoing assessment to see if she has an Autism Spectrum Disorder. For some reason at the moment, probably the imminent birth of sybling, is causing her to go completely off the scale even more than usual when something either doesnt work or goes missing. We were trying to get her ready to go out but she was having a meltdown because of the torch insisting we should let her "fix it". Even promising to buy her a new one doesnt help.

I then hobbled up to the loo and when I pulled my jeans down I heard something drop into the water. I shouted "Oh NO!" when I turned and looked. OH ran upstairs in a panic I was shouting "don't come in don't come in, it's really bad!" :eek:I didn't really consider until afterwards how serious this might sound coming from someone who is heavily pregnant and in the loo! Well I've not only dropped my iphone down the loo haven't I?! The screen started flickering and it looks like it has died. It's in the airing cupboard for now but I can't bring myself to look at it. I knew I shouldn't be trusted with one! OH bought it for my birthday brand new so it is not on contract nor is it insured It has been my lifeline while I've been pregnant and not able to move with the PGP/SPD. Don't know if it can be fixed.

Wow madwoman, i love your birth story! Reading all of these have helped me decide on my birth plan a bit hehe.

Fidget, i have the ipod touch and if i dropped in down the loo i would sob lol.
Infact if i dropped my phone down the loo i would sob, especially seeing as i cancelled my insurance a month after i signed up for it lol x

Fidget cant you get it insured today and then have a little misshap with it in say 2 weeks lol TUT TUT i know but they are expensive.

nikkit72

oh no , i hope the phone will be ok , u shocked me i was expecting a baby to be in the loo,

i am trying to stay away from it all but will try talk a bit to him tonight , my DD has been punished , i bet hes ex hasnt spoke to them about what really happened , she lives in her own little world ,

Fidget

I know Three, I went a bit mad at him for getting it me as to be honest I'm not used to having expensive gadgets. He loves gadgets and thinks they are a worthwhile expense which I'm the opposite of. I cannot be trusted, especially at the moment when I dont seem to be able to hold anything without dropping it. I don't even know what it was doing in my cardie pocket! Am so gutted but I suppose not the end of the world. If I do end up having to replace it I'll deffo be opting for a cheaper model! Will miss it if it's deeed though

Nikkit your OH is just going to have to accept that your DD has been punished.
Yes what she done was out of order.
Yes she should have told you ASAP but she has appoligised and has served her punishment that to me was spot on given what she had done but permanent removal from the computer is way over the top. If they had not put her under duress she would not have done it.
What punishment have his kids had for causing it, none i bet! He is probably just projecting his upset onto your DD to make himself feel better.
If he won't see reason then start psychological war fare on him. Get him to agree that when his kids come back and they deliberately attagonise your DD then they will lose their TV privileges too, for example. Tell him you will not punish your DD unfairly for their actions.

Gosh i sound like a complete nutter lol

Oh my word, madwoman's story made me cry a bit. I've spent the last few nights trying to do at least half an hour on my front on some cushions on the couch. I'm sure I can still feel what seems to be an arm moving at the front of my bump so I'm thinking he's probably still back to back. The midwife made intervention with a ventouse or forcepts seem really no big deal when she was talking about the back to back thing, but I really hope I can avoid it. Also the thought of baby struggling more and getting distressed worries me as DD got spent a lot of time in distress when I was having her and listening to the heart rate dipping for hours on the moniter is really scary.

Only problem with that is that some insuarnce companies say you have to wait 30 days before you make a claim

SJ- the cupcakes cound lovely. Were they for an anniversary or something?

Did 2 lots of cucpakes yesterday / this morning for weddings! The flip flop ones turned out really well so I was dead happy with them.

I'm so tired now though. For future reference I've made a mental note that 2 wedding orders in 1 day is not enough time! So will be planning in more time to do them from now on.

Cant remember who was asking but midwife said everyone should do 1/2 hour a day on hands and knees to prevent back to back and allow baby to turn. It dosent matter whether you are on hands and knees or forearms and knees, leaning on a gymball etc as long as your belly has a chance to hang. (just popping a disclaimer in here - if you have spd / pgp or any health probs please check with midwife or doc first;))

That was me, thanks!!

Sorry I have caught up but can't remember much of what I wanted to say but here goes!!

Labour vines to all who want them, get well vibes for all feeling crappy, boo to OH vibes for those with crappy OH's today, Boo to IL's vibes for making you feel bad about skiing GF, there was loads of other stuff I thought while reading but can't remember now

Rubbish weather today. And DH is going out after work tonight so will be leaving at 8pm and not coming home til tomorrow afternoon so I'll be on my own. Rubbish!

Ooh good news though, my RL friend just found out she is pg!!! Real early days but had Hcg levels checked via bloods and is def pg. Very happy as she'll be having the baby mid June (will be planned c/s after previous probs) so won't be far behind me!
