Pregnancy #13 Sponsored by McDonalds

[Sailorontheseasea]

I could cry and cry and cry.
I feel so overwhelmed and I feel so terrible I don’t even think about being pregnant for the most part of the day. I’m so worried I’m so stressed somethings happened and I don’t know.
my toddler is being awful and pushing every single limit I have, I’ve got so much pressure at work, and my mum has been unwell so I’ve got to support her and sort her out every day, and I can’t sleep at all at the moment.

I just feel so overwhelmingly sad, worried and done in

Go easy on yourself lovely. One day at a time Xxx

@Jellybb Estée Lauder double wear foundation always been a big win for me in covering acne. Stays put on your face all day as well it’s good stuff.

Huda beauty foundation is also really good for full coverage

Has anyone had the weird sensation yet of being repeatedly kicked in what may be the bowel, so it feels like you’re being kicked in the butt?

Omg yes like you are being kicked on your bum hole kind of I get this depending when she moves around x

I have been engaged for one year tomorrow and my fiancé has bought me a card a massive plant and some
Dior perfume can’t believe we are having a baby like I never thought this would happen when he proposed feeling very emotional and grateful and I don’t know who needs to hear this but it is still ok to whinge about being pregnant. We are all lucky but also being pregnant isn’t the easiest feeling sometimes physically or emotionally I bloody hope McDonald’s bring the selects back and I hope you all have a nice relaxing sleep tonight because the insomnia is real for me right now. X

How are you doing lovely? Lovely to see you on the threads xx

I’m okay thankyou Sometimes I wonder why I do this to myself and keep reading but I can’t help myself. I guess its like looking at your exes Facebook when you break up

Spoiler: Tw - loss

It’s been 3 weeks now. I have good days and bad days. The good are good but the bad are awful. I think the bleeding has finally stopped now which means I can start to move forward I guess. Still unsure what I’m going to do but I will get there… thankyou for asking

Just caught up on this thread and now I’m lying in bed craving a chicken nugget meal and strawberry milkshake at 10:30pm

Yeah i guess you had got used to reading also, so its like training yourself not to look which is hard.
How is your home support network? Have you got anyone you can talk things through with? Thats so awful that you hace been bleeding for all of this time. Have you have much contact with your Dr during the last few weeks? Xxxx

New thread and we're already on page 4
Love this little community

@grumpycat so sorry you had a tit day. Pregnancy messes with us on so many levels, but know you're doing absolutely great! You got this

@calmyourritas it's realy nice to see you pop in every now and then. Big hugs. The good days will start to outweigh the bad ones eventually, I'm sure. You are so incredibly strong! Hang in there

My day was quite okay actually. Less self doubt, less nausea (thank you meds), but still tired. Had my second vaccine (Moderna) today and my arm is a bit sore already, but all in all okay. Happy I got them both now. Hope the symptoms will be minimal, cause I don't need any more nausea, tiredness or headaches

Went to Ikea afterwards and they have some very cute things for reasonable prices. Anyone have experience with their baby furniture?

@Easilyannoyed - what are your wedding plans lovely? How exciting.

]@Hbirdette- how are you doing new mumma? How are things going with your little one?

I do love reading all your stories! My home network is good, I have my mum and close friends as well at my partner to moan to and cry at. Although sometimes I feel like I’m annoying people

.The bleeding wasn’t too horrendous really, just on and off and then spotting the past week or so. I haven’t been in touch with my doctor, the EPU just said to ring if there’s any problems or if I have a positive test after 3 weeks (which is tomorrow). I did one last week (I’m impatient) and it was still positive so I’m really nervous to do another and possibly have to go back.

My work policy is that I have to return for 12 weeks or I have to pay back the enhanced pay package. I work for Cardiff University and think our policy is similar to the NHS.

I'm not sure if that's on a "rolling" kind of thing though, like if I returned for 6 weeks I might pay back half the additional pay. Need to check because I plan to go back but only for a short time, ideally I want to find a new job nearer to home within that 3 month return period!

I work for a uni and if you go back on the same hours you have to work 3 months to not pay it back, but if you reduce your hours you have to stay a bit longer. So say if you were full time but go back on 2.5 days you have to stay for 6 months not to pay it back.
Sadly can't afford to do that though. Sorted it that I'll be going back on condensed hours over four days but with one of them fixed as a WFH day. Will have to go in the other three on teaching weeks, but can have a second WFH day during vacations.

I waited a while to get engaged so I didn’t plan because of covid then I found out I was pregnant exactly 6 months after we got engaged it’s crazy! If I have to wait another two years to get married then that is fine by me

you’re not alone. I feel exactly the same. My toddler has copious amounts of energy and emotions that I can’t keep up with and I’m exhausted. Husbands Nan has been diagnosed with cancer and she’s made the decision for no treatment, which is heartbreaking for the family as she’s literally the matriarch. I’m off work which I’m sure will go down like a tit sandwich, but I can’t keep up with the long days back to back and being so unwell with this pregnancy.

you have all of us.

I hope we are okay ladies. I’ve just been to the cinema to see In the Heights. Warning, it’s very long.

Work chat; NHS state we have to go back to work for 3 months before we leave. My plan is to either get an outpatient clinic job or do 3 months and go into agency nursing until this baby is 3. I’m so tired this year with work, and despite me having a “family friendly contract” meaning I don’t work Wednesdays and Thursdays, I’m put on back to back shifts and when my son had an accident and was in ED, I had to wait until my break to see him. I love ICU so much but I love my family more.

Hello I’ve just noticed this! Things are going really well thank you, 15 weeks on Friday which totally blows my mind. I have a feeling he’s about to start teething as he’s constantly chewing his fist or anything I put near him. I can’t see anything in his mouth yet but I’m sure he’ll let me know about it we are very lucky that he’s a chilled out, happy baby for now - long may it last!!

15 weeks already! Wow. How have you found things in terms of feeding routine? Any recommendations for anything that has workef for you specifically? My friend has recommended getting a glo egg for room temperature.

For things like this it’s worth having a look on Facebook market place. I got a gro egg for £5 and an Angel care bath support for £10, both in practically new condition!
