MSE Pregnancy Club 18

Morning all, thanks for your help regarding the Trafford centre, might be worth popping to the Manchester retail parks instead, or that one you suggested tigtag (I'll let you know if I go there!) I'm just unsure where to try near me, Shrewsbury is my biggest local town (30 miles) and last time we went to Telford, I just found the choice was a bit limited and I want to try a pram out, not just order it blindly!

Doing my final load of baby clothes washing although I am sure I will find more! Loving you creative ladies 'making your own' I just wish I could! I love the monkey fabric also I've got a bean bag in a very similar fabric that I'm using as a foot stool but that will go in the babys room when their a bit older.

Very cute scan pics Fuzz!

Hey ladies hope your all well.

I've just had a complete melt down, i'm so sick of this house being a complete pigsty. OH promised me we would get DD's room sorted out today has said it all week then pipes up yesterday that he is going to merryhell to play his games in the stupid shop there leaving me to sort everything out. Anyways i have thrown a complete bi**h fit tears and tantrums the works. he has now gone up town to get some new rollers so we can paint dd's room and get her furniture in and everything put away he is in a right sulk. He cant seem to get his head around the fact that its him im fed up with not the kids. Yes the kids make a mess and yes i make them clean it up and they have been helping me so much lately especially DD who watches bubs so i can do things or does them for me even my DS1 has been trying to keep his room & bathroom tidy although without great success at least he is trying where as OH keeps promising to do stuff then it never happens even small stuff like carrying the bags of washing upstairs (said he would do over a week ago and they are still sat there) so i can put it away or promising to sort his clothes out into the new units we have, i eventually got !!!!ed off and grabbed the lot and shoved it in the draws out the way its all screwed up and mixed up but i dont care i cant do everything if he wants to be able to find things he is going to have to sort them out himself.

Oh well looks like the only way to get things done is to throw a hissy fit so thats what i will be doing from now on. DD can look up when she gets back from her dads as well, 3 bin bags full of carp have been removed from her room that she claimed to have tidied up.

WEll im off to start cutting in the paintwork so he cant moan i've been sat on my A S S!!

Xmas Lolly - hugs

labour vibes to all who need them.

Completely fed up today of being pregnant. Have been having niggly twinges and things but no luck. Also had pressure downwards as if i need the toilet but nothing happening. I know I still have two weeks left to go so think its wishful thinking at the minute but with baby measuring bigger than she is meant to be its getting me really down the idea of a c section (i know its in her best interest so i wouldn't say no to it) but I don't fancy going over and being induced again either.

Keep looking at all the ideas for helping to induce a natural labour but then thinking better of it - and the boyfriend has gone into hiding - Didn't want him even looking at me for the last 4 months and now he's lucky if he gets a peaceful nights sleep!

Oh sooooooooooooooooooo fed up!

Good Luck Saz

CAFC where are you - u haven't sloped off to give birth have u?

God no.... i couldnt possibly be that lucky!!!

Happy Due Date hun :j

Absolutely nothing happening here for me.
Only reason I dont ever seem to be around anymore is the incredibly selfish (well in my view) behaviour of my DH....

Now I shouldnt moan too much because he bought me a present for birth, which is a spa day for 2, which is really sweet and lovely of him...... however since he's now off work for two weeks all he's doing is sitting on the sofa watching tv, or mooching at stupid forums and youtube videos online.....

I wouldnt mind but he's not exactly checking on me, like yesterday it was me that did two loads of laundry, hung it out and bought it back in, me that did 3 loads of washing up, hoovered both living rooms, cleaned the kitchen sides and cooked dinner for the last two nights.............. all despite me telling him i really dont feel well....still feel really fluey..... went to get out of bed this morning and my back just locked out everywhere, just had to fall back onto the bed and lay there till i could move again..... and he's just sat on his !!!! downstairs doing nothing!!!!

what is it with men - seems the closer you get to yoru due date - the bigger t*ts they become.

My boyfriend went out the weekend before last in a strop with me because the flat was a state - nevr mind the fact that I was 35 weeks pregnant at the time adn we have a 6 year old together and I do the school walk 4 times a day as well as all the other housework/cooking/chores/dog walking/and was still working etc - no because I had fallen asleep in the day and chilled out he threw a sh*t fit and stayed at his friends with no regards for me. Point was i'd cleaned the flat top to bottom that day and he came home the next day and left bowls/plates etc everywhere and his 9 year old left toys/bowls/plates whilst I was out at work on my 7 hour shift! :mad::mad::mad::mad:

then last weekend I took Ben to a birthday party on the Friday, barely made it home, came home to find his work out stuff here but not him, sat about until half 7 before his mum text me to ask 'did i know owen had gone to a bbq in ****?' - no i !!!!!!!g well didnt. So he text me at 8pm telling em things were getting messy, that he'd had 4 cans of lager (hes a JD and coke drinker normally) but he was having fun. so i asked if he was coming home that night and he said he wasn't sure yet. Anyway 9pm I text him, asking if he had made up his mind but to tell him I had back ache and was uncomfortable, no reply. Rang his mum who is meant to have Ben when I go into labour and she hadn't heard anything but she was meant to pick him up but no idea where he was. He text her then at 11.30pm to say he was staying out the night and didn't bother texting me - luckily his mum did and thank god holly didn't put in an appearance that night because he told me the next day when he got home that his phone had died! :eek:

NOT AMUSED - needless to say a quick word in his ear and a very frosty reception has changed his tune and although he's out at the motorcross track today he will be a few hours, picking up his other son and then he's home from now on.

If you can an another 40 mins ish to your journey there is a Mama's & Papa's outlet shop in Huddersfield (I'll meet you there for coffee )

You could still do the Trafford on the way to or from it!

tt

Regarding the mamas and papas outlet at hudderfield I was told it was great and had everything really cheap so I went which is about a 40 minute drive for me and it looked huge, went in and the shop size of my living room
I was so dissapointed
The one thing i wantd was a carseat and it was the same price as the normal shop:eek: £135
So I dont get it, yeah some stuff was reduced but not by much really

Im 32 weeks now which i never thought i would get to but thanks to great consultants and progesterone injections babys still inside :T
Even they didnt think id get this far so im super pleased:D

CAFCGirl

i keep thinking to myself well maybe if he's just carp during my pregnancy he'll be super when the baby is here...... i think he knows im peeved, as magically the washing up is being done ....... hmmmmm doghouse me thinks!

keeps asking me what i wanna do for the day as well, erm give birth and get this god damn heffer out of me?!
so i tell him to think of something, and what does he do? yes turns the laptop back on and watches his STUPID fire service carp!

hugs to all needing them re "men!" - my OH is ok but is a right pain sometimes too. I absolutely hate that when I get annoyed with him over something not done - its all my fault and cos I am pregnant I turn into a super-whingeing woman according to him! grrrr....

aside from the fact I am getting stressed out over breastfeeding. I haven't been able to successfully breastfeed at all with either ds1 or ds2 and I really really don't want to try it again at all this time but OH keeps insisting I should give baby feeds for first few days - its ok for him, its not him who will get the bleeding cracked nipples despite applying all the creams in the world, or him who will get the blocked ducts and mastitis again.

It just gets me so depressed when I fail at breastfeeding yet again and I am so sure it affects my bonding with baby too I would rather just bottlefeed and be able to spend time enjoying baby for the first few days rather than stressing about not getting baby latched on and then watching baby not thriving - I never seem to produce enough colustrum to keep baby satisfied and my milk never comes in either... pumping/expressing doesn't work either so I always end up bottlefeeding...

another thing is that will have his mum and dad staying with us just after baby comes too and I feel so uncomfortable feeding in front of them its embarassing having his dad especially sitting there and I am trying to be all relaxed etc for feeding the baby
