MV Oh yes definitely, especially in the 1st trimester I was snapping DH's head off and then crying in the street cos I missed the bus!! I personally found it got easier as I have got on but still end up crying over little things and if DH winds me up I still snap.

Rach hope not too stressed re work I know the commute gets to you. I ended up asking someone for a seat today on the tram as no-one was going to offer me one and it went OK. Best to take your time and if you need a seat ask for one.

So glad is Friday then I have a whole week off, can't wait for all the rest!!

Thanks! Thankfully since they introduced 3 car trains on the DLR and there was the banking crash hence fewer people working in CW I do get a seat mostly! I guess going in later helps too. Well done for asking!

And re the crying...I cried in starbucks last week as I ordered an iced latte but meant a frappucino and i was gutted when the 'wrong' thing came!

Can't believe how many of you will have your babies in the next week! Good luck & labour vibes to all who want them.

I saw on hotdeals Tommy Tippee Closer to Nature 6 Bottles for £9.99. I just got a pack and they have slow flow teats. Anyone know if they are any good? I planning on breast feeding and only want them for expressed milk. First baby here and a bit clueless.

Thanks for answering Sir M.

I'm sure it is completely normal, it's just all so irrational. I snapped a work colleagues head off the minute I walked into the office this morning, and it kind of went downhill from there.

Hated everyone on my commute home, and had a massive go at OH because he didnt answer the phone to me earlier (becuase he had his ipod on and couldnt hear it!)

Had a good old cry earlier though...and feel a bit better. Think today is best written off!

Not just me that has snapped at colleagues then!! Also have been in tears in the office, first time in 3 years I have worked there!

Hi there - this sounds like a normal day for me! I think I've probably had less dramatic mood swings (from anger to upset in less than 10 seconds...) since I passed the 13-14 week mark, but I can still get quite tetchy quite quickly...

Another quickie question...

I know hormones are raging during pregnancy, but is it normal to feel like snapping someones/anyones head off one moment, and wanting to cry the next?

A bit like PMT I guess..but worse. And does it last all the way through?

It can.. I was like a woman possessed when pg with DD1.. sadly the attitude I went through pregnancy with the baby seemed to inherit.. or maybe I was emulating them.. either way she was a pig of a baby!!

I've just been incredibly tired with this one but that is likely because I am old!

We will be putting our cot together too Rach. We need to put wardrobe together and move the furniture around, it will then start to look more like a nursery.

I find that i don't have as much patience and i get tearful too.

Aww I can imagine how frustrated you are. Grrr to RM, couldn't they have asked a neighbour to sign??! Hope you manage to stay sane xxx

I'm trying - lol

MERFE

morning everyone x

Rach I hope its not too bad back at work today x I really want to start my maternity as early as possible because I think I'm going to struggle but I need to finish the coursework I'm doing and it normally takes a year to complete and I only started in feb. The second part of the coursework is NVQ like and I need to be at work to show evidence of competence.

Smartie I can see why they call the poor thing the devil baby, it's a scary picture. When DS was going to be born they were discussing when to do the c-section and if it had been one day earlier he would have been born on the 6th june 2006, I was so glad they said wednesday. It prevented many fights with OH who would have insisted he was called damien if born a day earlier.

Morning all

Busy day for me today.... Have ds2 at physio this morning then back for a quick hoover round before midwife arrives. I also want to get dh to mow the back lawn;)

The midwife should be bringing my HB pack out:D

Hope everyone has a nice day xx

Good Morning Ladies

Oh Redmel I'm a bit jealous of your home birth I haven't quite got the guts plus OH looked at me like I was some knid of lunatic. We only live 5 mins from hospital but he wasn't having any of it, so I'm going to stay at home as long as poss before going in - providing I eventually go into labour on my own accord. Saz yr post about peoples helpful suggestions for inducing labour made me chuckle.
