I seem to be getting bossy and short-tempered, now that I've hit the 3rd trimester. I could end up being one of them awkward patients who don't do what they're told!

Compared to me you will be angelic!!!

I grow horns and a forked tail and my head spins a full 360'.... and woe betide anyone who speaks to me....

And that is a good day!

Yeah I must admit I didn't realise they fed THAT much. Crikey I'll have forgotten what the outside world looks like by the time I finally manage to leave the house!
Still, I'm sure its normal and it definitely won't be like that for long I'm sure ....:o
Well done on perservering though xx

Ohh birth plans. Scary stuff as I hate thinking about birth. I am super duper scared. I want an active birth if I can.

As for BF wow that is a lot when you write it down but i know they feed every 1.5 to 2 hours. Just seems much more when you write it down.

Hope everyone is well.

me too, at the moment i'm quite short tempered cos i feel like crap.
i really pity the poor MW who ends up helping me deliver, however i do tell them before hand what to expect and i do apologise in advance for any bad language or insults thrown in their direction. my last MW said i was a one off, i'm not a screamer or a whinger, i can handle the pain, i just tend to swear ALOT, she remarked that she'd never heard such language in such a short space of time before:D then once baby is here i do nothing but moan about them letting me go home, i dont see the point in taking up a bed when i can be in my own home.

It must be great being a new born, stuck to a pair of boobs all day long and in between that sleepy time.

I wonder where my OH got it from, it's evolution.

I seriously can't get over that's how much they feed, scared for my poor nipples now.

I don't scream or swear or shout or anything.. I also do not answer when spoken to, do not answer questions and if anyone even thinks about dismissing something I have said.. such 'my waters have broken' ... 'well IF we find yor waters have broken'.... I pound their heads with a tirade of abuse about them questioning my abilities to know my own body/havin done this before/insulting my intellect'... etc etc... I demanded a complaint form immediately the last one (registar) said those words to me and filled it out in front of her!... without uttering another word except to question everything she said 'why? what for? Can you substantiate that with evidence and statistics please?'...

I am NOT nice.

Until 6 weeks Squeak fed.. 4am, 8am, 10am, 12noon, 2pm, 4:30pm, 6:30pm, 8pm... then went to bed... She would sometimes have a few thirst quenching slurps in between.

Between 8&10am we got the children to school 10-12 I got stuff ready to go out the next day.. so we just had to pick up a bag and go. Washing went in when I found 5 minutes.

It all fits in easily it is just finding what works for you

Bought that 4head today for my poor pounding head that hasn't gone in 2 days, just applied it and it's the weirdest sensation ever.

It is but quite cooling - just don't put too much on otherwise it'll sting your eyes when you move your head!
