RANT ALERT!!! :mad::mad::mad:

I am feeling so low right now. I don't know why, loads of stuff I spose.

I'm 29 weeks, knackered, BH most nights, and have no idea how I am going to cope with the exhaustion of a new born.

I look and feel like utter crap, am single and know I will be for forever now, and just feel so bleak about the future.

Thanks. And sorry.

I'm sorry you're feeling so low. I don't post very often, but I have nothing but respect for you, how you're coping with being pregnant and having the baby while you're currently single.

I'm not sure if this will make you feel any better, but I (and a lot of people I know) feel like this from 28+ - completely knackered again, feeling like crap, feel like we look like crap and a impending fear of how we're going to cope when the baby arrives. I get the impression it's completely normal - so you're not alone.

You're doing so well and just because you're single now, doesn't mean you'll be single forever - just take things one step at a time, get through the rest of your pregnancy with help from friends etc., then when you have the spare capacity again, start to think about meeting someone (if you haven't already, while you weren't expecting it!).

Wish I could do something constructive to help you feel better...

You, you :mad: nice internet stranger you! You made me cry :D

I'm sure alot of it must be hormones. I hope.

I became a single mum to DD when she was 5 weeks old and I swore I would never do it again..........it only took 7 years and yet here I am again!

I promise, 99.9% of the time I am really happy and looking forward to it all, but then sometimes I just realise that I may have friends, parents etc etc, but no one just for me. And I know that makes me sound selfish, and I am really sorry, but sometimes, rarely, but sometimes the responsibility overwhelms me.

Right.. consider yourself slapped with a very large, very wet and very smelly.... haddock....

You are beautiful and doing just what your body was made to do.. and you look fabulous.. and yes I can.. you go ask the flybots if I can see in their homes..

My husband (KH) left me 18 months ago.. he'd been seeing someone else.. he had bit of a mid-life crisis lost weight took up salsa and his brain fell out of his head into his c()ck.. we had been together 20 years since we were 14 and had 8 children.. within a few weeks I had met OH and 18 months later we have a beautiful baby girl.. now if someone is daft enough to take on me and my baggage and stick around when things got really tough you will have no problem at all.. I promise you there is someone out there waiting to love you for no reason other than they can see how amazing you are.. don't you dare get all negative on me.. you deserve to be happy and you should never ever let anyone make you think otherwise.. you ask you little miss who the best person in the world is.. what greater proof do you need?

Chin up chuck.. you will be slinky real soon and you then sort that wardrobe and strut that stuff and show the world how fabulous you are..

A lot of it could be put down to hormones, but that doesn't make feelings any less real at the time. And don't be sorry, you're not being selfish - if you can't express how you feel here, where can you express it?? Acknowledging the responsibility is really important and just shows how important being a mum is to you.
Hope you're feeling better soon, but don't feel that you can't rant when/if you're not:)

Emsy - what PP and the other's said above.

Hang on in there chuck...bet there's a fab bloke waiting for you around the corner, it's just a case of when you'll bump into him. And you have your beautiful DD and a gorgeous new bub to look forward to

Well I am 20 weeks today. I really can't believe it! Got my scan at 3pm, so please send me good vibes as I'm so nervous.

I looked at my hospital notes this morning and apparently I have an 'anterior placenta'..I'm sure someone mentioned that, that could be a reason why I haven't felt anything yet..?

Morning lovelies.

I've been having terrible headaches and dizzy spells the last week or so...even had to take a few days off work . Paracetamol does no good. Had my 16 week MW appointment last week and she confirmed I have low blood pressure but nothing they can do about it...I just need to make sure I'm drinking plenty of water, keep taking my multivitamins and hopefully it will pass. True enough I'm actually feeling much better today.

In other pregnancy news I've started to feel little flutters...like I have a little fish flip flopping around in there .

Good luck with the scan MV. I'm a tiny bit jealous you might get to know the flavour :o.

have a nice time lilac x

Was going to take the kids to feed the ducks today but its raining urgh. Will take them for a walk later hopefully in between showers but its only light rain, just need to get out the house and for something other than work. Weekend was pants, OH worked sat and I was working sun, next weekend will make up for it or getting monday night off will. Can't wait till maternity leave.

Struggling to get the evidence I need for my coursework, or I can't write it up even rough straight away if there are more customers waiting and my memory is pants to write it later at the moment. I'll have to have a chat with my manager on wednesday night I suppose.

I have the midwife on friday for 25 week appointment. Hopefully will get forms then and might actually get to chat with her a little as the 16 week one was cut quite short when she couldn't find the heartbeat. I'm quite pleased with them actually because I only went in on friday to ask for the appointment and expected I'd be having it late cos the midwife is normally pretty booked up.

MV yes that is what I have too, means the placenta is at the front and it can cushion the babies blows a bit, it was ages before I felt the baby and is probably why midwife struggled to find heartbeat at my 16 week appointment but everything is fine. I'm sure you'll be fine too.
