Nutella - happy due date
emsbet- glad you are feeling little one kicking

My back has been really hurting again kept me awake and now im up it feels like someone has elctrodes near my kidneys and i want to curl up and cry! someone mentioned it could be getting ready for labour, I really hope so 'cos this pain isn't good!! last 2 pregnancies I had horrific period pain and I "knew" i was going into labour!
so i went to the fridge this morning to do breakfast, to find there was a scraping of butter left. oh hadnt bought anymore :mad: so gave the kids that on their ham toasties and I had to resort to melting down an easter egg and having choccy spread on my toast, as there was no jam or butter or cereal to eat!!! oh then came downstairs and asked "wheres my breakfast?!" the cheek of it. told him to fiond his own mish mash of rubbish to eat! hahaha.
hope everyone is ok xxxx

Does it feel like electric shocks because mine did

Miss_Money

mishkanorman thankyou. He never sees the mess he makes, and expects me to clear up after him too. drives me insane. and i don't like the way he speaks to me on a daily basis. He's so rude to me! he will say "go make me a coffee now!" and think hes being funny when hes just being down right rude! if i challenge that i'm the one with the problem.... I started speaking to him the way he speaks to me this week, and apparently i'm a nasty peice of work!!! hah!

re constipation- ive got it bad too, and piles feel like my inndards are going to dissapear down the loo!


kitten- he didnt have a good upbringing (verging on abusive, actually no it WAS an abusive upbringing) he has a bad temper that he inherited from his dad.but i think theres other problems too. call me stupid but i think he is on the autism spectrum somewhere. if one little thing gets to him he will go over and over and over it in his head and then quite literally explode about that (which could be tiny) and then explode about everything that he feel he has a problem with.. (but didnt an hour before) hes always been hard work. But ive always wanted to make it work because we do have a good time together or did.
i dont drive i have epilepsy... and i cant stand to be in the house at the weekends. hes the opposite he doesnt like to do anything at the weekends. If he says he will take me out blah blah i will expect to go out, only to find the next day hes changed his mind and he doesnt want to do anything and i should stop nagging him cos its the weekend and hes not "here for my entertainment" great huh?

Welcome milliebob and congratulations! :wave: What's your due date? Would you like adding to the list?

xx

September 24th, I'll let you know what we're having on Thursday! It would be lovely to be on the list thank you!
Just sat down to have our tea and watch BGT after spending the aft sorting out the spare room for baby... Where the heck am I gonna put my shoes and bags now!?

Welcome millliebob :wave:.

Miss_Money your OH sounds awful. No-one should have to put up with being treated like that. My instinctive reaction is to tell you to get out of the relationship as it doesn't sound healthy - but I can understand that you are in an awkward position right now. I hope you can work something out.

AFM we have finished painting the nursery today. Well, the walls anyway, I still have the glossing to do but that shouldn't take long. Will be borrowing a carpet shampooer next weekend to give the floor a good going over and then it will be ready for us to order the furniture. I can't wait to get it all set up!

On another note, I am trying to decide when to start my maternity leave. I am thinking of starting my official mat leave two weeks before my due date but taking three and a half weeks annual leave prior to that. So I would finish five and a half weeks before due date. Does that sound too early? I am thinking it will be nice to have the whole of August off (sitting in the garden if we have a nice summer - wishful thinking!). Plus, I have been suffering with my back and I have a long commute consisting of a drive to the station, train journey and then a bus ride at the other end. I find it tiring at the best of times and think I'll really struggle towards the end. What is everyone else planning on doing?

Ah I see what u mean hun. I was lucky with my husband that I controlled all our finances well most of them. I told him to go. Tho situation was different. I hope u can get things sorts. It is not nice being in an emotionally abusive relationship xx

mishkanorman

Oh dear we may have the same OH, at his worst he has a foul mouth on him - its ALL my fault if I didnt always have to answer back/get one up on him/ blame everything on him :mad: he some days just cannot see that he is the cause of it !

We've come so close to splitting on many occasions because he can make me feel so hated, I truly believe that most if not all of this is down to his depression - which is un diagnosed as he brushed it off as not a big deal when he went to the Dr. (he has a medical condition which is closely linked to depression but he thinks if I just "lay off him" for a little while it will fix itself)

Its sneaky as hell but I taped him once so he could hear the venom in his voice when he spoke to me - Ive never played it to him but its there to remind me that Im not insane or over sensitive.

If he is like my OH ive found that often Ive done something weeks ago and been a right cow bag to him and rather than address it at the time and give me a chance to realise and make amends he will brew and stew and pick fights until he feels justified and revenged.

My favourite line i repeat in my head 'you cant reason with the unreasonable'

Big hugs to you x x x

Miss_Money

mishkanorman yep the oh does wht yours does... brews it all up. we wont speak now for at least 3 days and i will spend the evening s in my room as im "not welcome" in the living room!. and then he will try and act as if nothing has happened.

thanks for listening to me though people it's helped somewhat. ive managed to make myself a ham toastie (looks like hes been to the shop) and ive eaten now. however.. and this is tmi... after eating the toastie i had a huge bh that went into my bowels :eek: and made me go to the loo... no more constipation!!

Hugs Miss_Money, that must be a pretty exhausting situation. My DH can go through stages of acting like this, and I too think he may be somewhere on the spectrum, for example if I give him pie for tea any night other than Wednesday he cant eat it and flips out!?! My OH has said he doesn't want to think about the baby as he knows he will start stressing and worrying and wants to put it off for as long as possible. I;m not trying to excuse his behaviour but could your OH be panicking about the baby coming and how he will cope? may be that is why he is lashing out so much at the moment?

Big hugs to you anyway, we are all here to listen and support should you need it.

I'm feeling a bit strange, starting to get a bit panicky about having a baby, mainly due to DDs birth, but I have no one really to talk to; DH can't/ won't mention the baby at all, MIL/ mum says oh don't worry about it, my BF is 33 weeks gone with her first and I don't want to burden her with my woes, 2 others who I could have spoken to have had their babies in the past week and both have only just come out of NICU. I feel so bloody selfish for worrying as we were so lucky with the outcome of DD birth, but all the same it absolutely terrifies me that something will happen this time/ things won't work out well. I keep telling myself how lucky we are not to have had any problems with fertility and miscarriage like so many other people. Am I being really silly and overreacting? I think maybe the best thing to do is for me and DH to fill as much time as possible over the next few weeks getting things done in the house/ school work done so I don't have time to worry. Sorry self-indulgent moan over!

Hope everyone else is OK and welcome newbies, labour vibes to those that need them xx

miss money this is really bad. its not always easy to see but i cant see any aspect of your life thats not being controlled by him, and thats abuse.
