Me, cramps in my feet if I have spent too much time on them during the day, and cramps in my legs It blooming well hurts and it's another thing that wakes me up :mad: Do some gentle leg and foot stretches on an evening and drink a glass of slimline tonic water before bed as it has low dose quinine in which helps reduce the cramps.

Good advice wonder womble Tonic water with quinine is very good for cramps and stretching all the legs muscles is excellent too. If you are walking funny (hobbling, short steps, etc) it tightens the legs muscles, which tighten the foot muscles. So lots of quality stretching :-) I've only had them a few times this pregnancy, mostly after swimming, but was tortured last pregnancy until I found that drinking LOTS of milk actually cured me. A pint a day. It is complete torture, especially at night. Hope all the afflicted ladies find some relief.

I'm a bit cross with the OH today. He has the sniffles ( not even a cold yet) and is at home. Yet he wasn't well enough to walk DD to school. He hasn't done it yet so he won't know where to go when this baby arrives. Grrrr. Plus, I went mad with the housework yesterday and really struggled to walk this morning. And he is hogging the sofa so I'm up in bed. Daren't speak to him or I'll say something I'll regret! I'm not a happy bunny!!!

Labour vibes to the boldies. Really hope things kick off soon for you all!

What is it with men alison2020. I'm a pedantic sod to mines when he's ill or tired. I get the usual lines trotted out "I work full time" Yes so does the majority of the population, they're not at deaths door and needing bed when they get in the door at night. :mad: It really drives me mad, my dad worked 2 jobs when I was younger and still had loads of time for me and my brother. He is going to get a shock when the baby comes


I managed to spill a whole bowl of Rice Krispies down myself and my pj's this morning, I'm a clever one. I'm honestly getting clumsier and clumsier. I took OH's dinner out the oven the other night and it all fell on the floor, not that he was any the wiser, scooped up and put back on the plate

DH likes peace and quiet- DSD doesn't live with us full-time, so he's never really experienced how loud children can be and how irritating when it's constant. I'm 2 of 5- our house was never quiet! The dogs were a culture shock when they arrived- I keep thinking after 11 years he may have forgotten how loud babies are....

It will be fun!

For anyone who wants some last minute bits and bobs, Tesco are doing 20% off all baby clothes until the 4th of October. They have alot of cute things in too.

Thats it.. I am going to cry.. I now have terrible heartburn to go with my broken bones, cankles and general feeling of crapness... I want sympathy and patting and taking out and shooting... my OH is so mean!

We have to go out.. in the world.. I want to go to bed!!!!!!!

Baby decided she can stand on her own fat legs today.. VERY wobbly and scared but she at least did it because she wanted to

*Twinkle*

arent we all a moaning bunch
i dont think i've read a post yet where someone is pain free, happy, has a fab OH, helpful quiet kids and a house thats just right, hehehhehe! blooming pregnancy my !!!!!
tiredness for me is kicking in now, 2 nights with about 30 mins sleep is catching me up and i just wanna curl up in bed but i think if i dont move about and at least try and be a bit active, baby will just stay put.
ive put my phone on silent now, the calls and texts are coming thick and fast and it just depresses me even more, mind you, with me not answering anybody then theyre likely to think i've gone in the hospital or even turn up at the house and i am so not in the mood for visitors!
any news on ecolle?

Bunnyhop

Day 3 on the induction ward and feeling fed up! Unfortunately everyone else in the area is going into labour so they have no beds or midwives to break my waters. Please send labour vibes so I can queue jump!

Labour vibes to the boldies..

I have turned into a right moaner in the last week or so. Have read about others not feeling great etc in the past and thinking how lucky I am, but that seems to have changed now.

Not sure if baby has dropped but I now feel like I have a bowling ball between my legs :rotfl: I am so uncomfortable and keep having really sore BHs.
And yes my feet hurt as well!

delain

**commands everyone else in Bunnyhop's area to cross their legs and wait their turn** :D

I am even sore today which hasn't happened much in this PG previously.

Oh I do get the foot craps and the dreams (cornish pastie with pies in it anyone? lol)

And there is loads of housework to do so I'd best get a shufflee on!
