I'm a big hormonal mess today and feel like crying at work, had a big meeting this morning where I was sure we'd be able to get agreement to our funding so I could get maternity cover sorted etc and know whether I'll have a job to return to or not and we couldn't reach an agreement so I have to wait another week til we can meet again to sort anything out. I don't know if I feel this upset because of my hormones or because I feel utterly knackered and stressed out but I feel like going home, hiding in bed and having a good old cry. DH doesn't understand work stress, doesn't feel it, and thinks I'm some kind of mad woman for getting all upset.

Anymo what a nightmare. I can understand why you are so stressed. Sometimes I also feel like hiding and bawling my eyes out and on occasion I actually do it. How long have you got left at work?
I don't think men can understand how these hormones make us feel and maybe he just doesn't realise how much support you need at the moment.
I know it sounds a cliche but things will get better. Just rant away to us as there's always someone about to reassure you.
I hope the rest of your day goes ok xx

Aw thanks Happy, I have about 22 days at work left but just talked to my mam and I think it helped, I have to put myself and LO first and so I think I'll talk to my boss about taking some leave and maybe finishing earlier x

That might be a good idea Amymo. If it is getting you so stressed it just isn't worth the mither and it certainly won't be doing you any good. I can't find the list to find out but what date are you due?

Big hug Amy xx Not surprised you are feeling stressed out and tearful. Pregnancy does make you hormonal and teary but not knowing where you stand work wise is unsettling. I hope it gets sorted out for you very soon.
Im pretty good most of the time but have had the odd day recently where I just want to cry for no reason. Im guessing thats pretty normal.
Im feeling all bruised down below today. Not really sure why. Does anyone else ever feel like that? I wonder if its baby pushing on my pelvic floor. If I could see down there I reckon it would look black and blue!!
Just been very naughty and eaten a whole huge packet of quavers! I was craving them this morning and my lovely boss came back from lunch with a huge packet of them for me. I dont think she expected me to wolf down the lot in 10 minutes tho!! LOL!

It's Cheesy Wotsits that are my current vice - but any of the dissolvey type of crisps really. And full-sugar coke which I know is hideously wrong but so blooming right!

28th April, so still a while to go, but when I think about the bigger picture I could feel a lot happier and am losing sleep over it so it's time to seek out some help

lisa how can you tell if they are kicks or punches? I have no idea.

The only reason I know is that when I've known its definately head down its been all really low ones and when its been breech they've been really high so must be hands not feet!

Morning ladies,

First morning of Mat leave where I have actually managed to stay in bed later than normal work time, woke up at 9, and felt guilty so jumped up and got dressesd - why do I feel guilty, it's so odd!!!

I'm the same, if I stay in bed after 9am then I feel guilty and like I've wasted half the day....DH does not have the same problem and thinks nothing of sleeping until 11am....he's in for a shock!

OK stupid question of the day .... can I have Subway for my lunch? I don't need one with meat in, just a veggie delight with mayo is fine with me. I'm just not sure on whether or not I'm allowed it. I'm assuming they'd wash the salad properly and the mayo will be pre-made stuff and not the fresh kind you can't have?!

The meats are fine too, the only one you shouldn't have is the salami. Ham etc. is fine is just 'deli' meats (salami, parma ham atc.) that you should avoid.

Oh you are only 10 days behind me then. Tbh I wish I had stopped a couple of weeks back because it has been getting harder and I've been finding it a lot more draining and tiring. I think you do right xx

Ds1 was on his due date and ds2 as a day late!! So yeah they were on time!!

Think I was just having a bad day today had a bath and put some make up on and feel better already
Better get dinner sorted for ds1. Ds2 is at a friends tonight and dp is working late so he said he will treat me to a Chinese tonight
Xx

happydays77_2

Oh Chinese sounds lush. Now you got me thinking.
Well I've just nearly gone into early labour. Looking in my local paper I saw a full size picture of my sperm donor of an ex telling the world how his company has gone bankrupt and how he doesn't know what he is going to do with his life. Haha...karma is my friend today. On closer inspection of the picture i truly hope that the baby has my looks. Good grief, love is definitely blind!!! Is it wrong that has made my day!!! Hehe
