    Things got unbearable at about 25 weeks last time but this feels really different, the baby is really high whereas last time she was really low so held things in place almost. I wasn't needing crutches for a while yet but I am really struggling.

    I've been moaned at for having rice krispies.. apparently the baby needs more! F*** the baby!!! I am starving here!!!! I just couldn't face standing in the kitchen making dinner. OH's family are obsessed with protein... I don't want fluffing protein, I am quite happy with a huge bowl of cooked carrots and an oxo cube in a mug with the crusts from the loaf. I am a pauper lol.

    I've looked forward to a Chinese all day.. and I end up with cereal... and now I am going to bed because I am freezing and tired.. it's been a looooooooooooooong week!

    We've not had a bath since Tuesday

    i feel really peed off this morning, and going to have a little moan, but skip past my post if you want to.
    go to bed last night at 10 , get woking up with my husband making so much noise in the bed room, even spraying foot spray, so i say " what are you doing" get told to shut up and something else , which i cant remember, so i just ignore it , then im asleep and get woken again with him, poking me telling me im snoring and his got to b up at 6.30 and to stop it , in not such nice words.
    Does he think i can help snoring?? and why dont he go to bed earlyer, really peed off with him and i think im going to txt him and tell him! MEN!!!!

    Oh Helen I really feel for you. My OH is v much the same when he's home, how anyone can make so much noise getting into bed is beyond me. They don't seem to have any comprehension of how important sleep is to is and how tired we are all the time. I've often caught myself wishing OH could just feel how I feel for a day then he might have a vague idea why I'm more stroppy than happy these days!!

    Well I got a little bit more sleep last night. Still feel like I haven't slept for dys though, but I'm taking that as normal at the moment. Baby is kicking loads this morning and have shed loads of pressure today too but I think that's just her head being down. Next midwife appt is Tuesday, can't remember the last time I saw her to be honest.....

    Anyway hope everyone's feeling ok this morning.

    Hey all. Hope everyone who's suffering is feeling better today. At least the sun is out here anyway.

    Anyone has really weird dreams? I keep getting them and they are making me sleep through my alarm! Anything I can try to stop them?

    Friday today! Working and studying has really taken it out of me this week!

    I was at the start :D Zombies taking over the world and turning people into zombies by sticking yellow smiley face stickers on people...running a chinise shop and serving soup and biscuits to customers...being in the hunger games with my DS (wont go into details on that one)

    Usally I find I have them more if im worried about something...anything to be quite honest. Dont think you can stop them.

    Good morning all. Feeling a bit better this morning. I should have realised why I was so upset last night, I always get really stressed before a midwife appointment and to make things worse she's coming to the house today!!! This is the one who was rude about me having a baby at my age!
    On the subject of dreams Lorraine Kelly bought me some lovely shelves for my living room last night - no idea where that one came from. Lol.
    OH has been away this week which means I have slept really well. He often fidgets or gets up to go to the loo. I have been so lucky in as much as I don't usually get disturbed during the night or have to get up to the loo. Don't know how I'll manage when the baby arrives, I like my sleep.
    Take care all. X

    Morning ladies :wave: Gosh I did start a moanfest yesterday didn't I with my whingey post :rotfl: didn't I? I think its good to get it all out, even though it doesn't change things it does make you feel a bit better :D

    Big big hug hugs for those who are sore and fed up - it is blooming hard work carrying round these babies, especially when a number of us have other little ones to care for and/or OH/family members who do not take that into consideration.....:p

    helen - Hope you sent that text :) Or at least hid his foot spray :rotfl:

    pigpen - As for the rice krispies - I would be up for murder now :mad: I love my food and would have been unbearable if that was me!

    missymoo - Ouch to the back problems too, My MW just said to me "Oh everythings looser this time, its to be expected". Oh thanks for such fab advice :rotfl: But I can't bl***y walk lol.

    just want a house - Congratulations!!!!

    claretsgirl - I had a number of mini meltdowns throughout all of my pregnancies. It is quite normal and hormones really don't care about personal circumstances! I am sure it will all fit together when the time comes xxxxxx

    I agree about the SPD, it is a strange condition. I have had it with all 4 of my pregnancies but like pigpen said, it has been a different experience each time. Pain has been in different places, started at different times etc

    My only advice to those that are suffering (helen - I think you asked?) is yes keep your knees together as much as possible, don't lift anything if you can help it (even a pack of 4 tins of beans leaves me grimacing), don't push anything with your legs/feet (I am a bu**er for this :o), don't push anything heavy (shopping trolley, buggy etc - though am guilty of using my buggy as substitute crutches and damaging them - oops), sleep with a pillow between your knees as this keeps your hips straight, oh and use DH/OH as a lever when you need to turn over in the night :rotfl: I usually only turn when I have been up to the toilet, but if I do need to because my legs/arms have gone asleep - DH just sticks his arm out half asleep and I pull myself on that lol. Am sure there are plenty of other things I do, but I just do them naturally now :o Oh and try and do things as slowly as possible, if I move too fast I can literally hear my joints popping and grinding _pale_and DH actually heaves and he is not at all squeamish....

    I am feeling in a better mood today (not hard after yesterdays post :rotfl:) as I went out for a meal with DH and some friends last night and it was a nice change of scenery after being stuck in the house with snow and sore hips :) And I wasn't sick afterwards which is a bonus in itself at the moment :rotfl: Food was lovely and we had a good laugh and I felt a bit like my old self again. I also had a great nights sleep for the first time in 9 months and I did not need to wee till 5am this morning - woohoo!!!

    Hugs to everyone and Mini P - come on out - you are due tomorrow!!!!! Am going to have a go at all the old wives tales over the weekend and see if I can get the evacuation process started :T

And what's with all the throw away cooking trays and picnic boxes, lazy cow!!! I usually love nigella but she's just really annoying me today!!
