We need another chatty thread - Page 2

I'm feeling depressed and moody...and my back hurts...and even though I'm sooooooooooooooooo tired, I can't get a good night's sleep. Of course, I wake up at least twice to pee but worse than that is the thinking that goes on in my head, which actually wakes me up. I've been falling asleep at about 11 pm and then waking up at 3, tossing and turning and obsessing and obsessing and obsessing. If only I could shut off the thoughts in my head...:

[peacelovingmama]

I've been pretty grouchy lately. I get so frustrated with myself. I'm so happy about this pregnancy but am so crabby all at the same time. I'm also so tired! Last night, I slept from 9 pm until 8 am! I really can't wait for the second trimester.

[grapejuicemama]

Shachar-That's sorta what's happening to me, too. I wake up to pee/let out the dog/take care of kids and then can't get back to sleep. I've started trying to sing "Rockabye Baby" to myself.

I, too, can't wait till the second trimester, if it will bring a little relief. At least by then I'll be more obviously pregnant and will be able to feel the baby, which at least makes the misery more worth it.:

[MonTana Mama]

grapejuicemama-sounds like my life! UGHHHH!!! I finally called my MW and she called in a Rx for anti-nausea, which at least gets me through the night. Looking forward to 10/06! My magic day-1st day of 2nd trimester...my MS cleared magically on that day with DS1.

[annettemarie]

Anyone want to babysit my younger two tomorrow while we go for our initial midwife visit? Anyone? No?

*blinks*



OK, then. I'm feeling pukey. But I've also been feeling crampy. Mostly I'm feeling worried.

[Shachar]

Okay, I admit that I am overly emotional right now. In fact, my DP, who may not be my DP much longer at the rate we're going, told me that he can't wait for the old me to come back...and I resisted the urge to smack him upside on the head. (Meanwhile, I *know* that all of you *know* that I *reallY* resisted that urge!!!)

I'm sooooooooooooo grateful that I found this DDC. The support I get, just by reading what everyone else has written and having an outlet to vent, has been invaluable. Thank you! Uh oh, here come the tears again!!

I hear ya! My DH was whining about his lack of sex last night. Sheesh, it's only been a FEW days, not like a week or anything. This is his third kid (our first), and just because his hypochondriac ex lay on her back and moaned and whined about how sick she was for the whole 9 months for both her pregnancies and I'm NOT doesn't mean that I don't feel tired and cranky sometimes!!! Sheesh. I gave in, and then reminded him that we are more *ahem* "active" on the weekends when I don't have to get up at 5:30am for work!

[MonTana Mama]

This am (before work) DH decides to tell me he is sick of me not being able to do anything and being so emotional. "you used to be so strong!" Needless to say I started crying and raising my voice and our 2 yo is standing in the kitchen yelling NO! NO! NO! -he hates it if we argue. I was so hurt that he was being so insensitive and the timing couldn't be any worse! Man, I was so mad! I thought I was so lucky bc he has been so supportive!

I just wish once in their lives men could have some kind of hormone SwInG-so they could show a little understanding! Is that too much to ask? Obviously, bc men don't have that 'blessing'. Sometimes it doens't feel like much of a blessing.

What do you guys think? Have you all had some sort of conversation/argument like that with your DPs?

[Goldiemom]

kdtmom2be: I am sorry that your dh is griping about the lack of sex already. Good grief! Hopefully he will wake up and see that you have preggo issues just like everyone other pg woman in the world, and will either deal with it himself, or wait til you are feeling more in the mood. Silly men.

[Goldiemom]

MonTana Mama: This will pg #3 that my dh has gone through with me. After the first one, he got much more supportive. Once the m/s demon takes over I am wiped and he actually turns into an easier person for me to deal with. Though, I did recently find out, that during my last pg, he deliberately would suck on wintergreen mints just to see if it would still make my sick @24+ weeks pg. It did. So I think even when they are being helpful, that has its own drawbacks. Sorry that your dh decided that it would be best to say such wonderful things in front of your 2 y/o.

We chatted about it for a while and he is going to try to be patient. *snort*

[grapejuicemama]

Ahhhh, yes. Husbands. Ain't they great?

I've got the same problem. All of them. Normally, I go, go, go, but I'm so sick right now that I just can't and we're refinancing our house, which means a lot of work to get ready for the appraisal. Well, I just couldn't do everything, yanno? I'm in charge of all the paperwork, anyway, which is stressful. Hubby did all the outside stuff and I cleaned until 10 last night, since the appraisal was this morning. Phew.

Anyway, the other day, DH comes up to me and says, "I just wanna know, what are you gonna do to help with this?"



I made him sorry he asked.

He's also complaining about the lack of sex. I'm sorry I'm not in the mood after puking all day long, dude. He's wanting to stock up on sex now because he doesn't like it when I've got a very prominent reminder of my precious cargo, you know? After the first trimester, though, I'm always ready for a roll in the hay! I had to beg him during my last pregnancy. We're backwards.:

Gotta love 'em.

[MoMommy]

Last night, right as we were going to bed, I ran into the bathroom to puke. When I came back to bed, he started acting like he wanted to have sex. I was like, "Don't you understand that I just puked my guts out and I feel like complete crap? Would YOU want to have sex if you were feeling that way?" He said, "No way. If that were happening to me, it'd be horrible and I'd never stop complaining. But you do it so often that by now you're used to it and it's probably just like having to pee or something." : Uh, no.

[grapejuicemama]

Ohmygoodness!

Ok. I never ever drink caffeine, just because I don't really care for the taste of most of the drinks that have caffeine. Anyway, I just got a mint moolatte from DQ and now I feel like I'm all cracked out on caffeine! Dangit.

I think I'm gonna throw-up but I really don't want to. I don't think that pizza and moolatte will be very pleasant on the return.

I think I'm typing like a chipmunk.

Lookout! Nichole's on drugs!

[Fairy4tmama]

UUGGHHHHH! can I just say that I am SICK an TIRED of being sick and tired! I know that I am not the only woman to feel this way but man I have NEVER been so sick in my life! Thank goodness my first PG wasn't like this or I would never have had any more children. I mean I had morning sickness before but it was nothing like this! Everything I eat makes me sick! I am sick when I wake up in the middle of the night I am sick before I eat after I eat! I just have to hold on to the idea that this will stop when I get to the 2nd trimester:

ok I'm done

[MonTana Mama]

: MoMommy
You have got to be kidding us! That is so frusturating!!!!!!!!!!
Used to it? No, we deal with it!: Although, it probably doesn't look like I am dealing very well. I really feel bad about fighting this am, esp in front of DS. boo-hoo. Also I must of really appeared out of control to DH. I mean I said the F-word and I NEVER swear! I was just so mad and pushed over the edge, esp when he said-you have control of how you react-control your mouth in front of DS. He shouldn't have brought it up while I was leaving for work! Ok ok I got it all out.

I think I will hit Taco Bell on the way home!

[heathenmom]

To all the dh issues that have been mentioned: yes, yes, and YES. What the hell is wrong with them? Yes, I understand I'm not nice to be around right now. I FEEL LIKE CRAP. Yes, I understand we're not having a lot of sex right now. Again, I FEEL LIKE CRAP. How hard is this to get, and WHY do I have to explain it every freaking day?

[annettemarie]

Soooo pukey. Will not ever complain about not being pukey again. Ugh.

[wanderinggypsy]

Right now I am in a real mood to gripe about DH. Only thing is, I don't even know where to begin anymore. He's just being a dink supreme. And I was feeling so good about myself until he came home today. I actually accomplished all my vacuuming, laundry, dishes, made supper, and more today, and even had a light jog after supper. Oh and I caught up on my 'work' too, (i work from home as a reporter)... so I caught up writing up all this stuff that was just accumulating on my desk. Felt SO GOOD!
But he just doesn't seem to give a crap. He just wants to be grumpy and horrible.

Me too. Crabby about babysitting my friend's little boy, mostly. I get paid for it and he's not horribly demanding, but he is just getting under my skin so badly lately. Every day, I can't wait for him to go home. I hate feeling that way about a child - makes me feel like a heartless ogre. But seriously, everything he does makes me incredibly irritated. I hope this doesn't get worse. :
