I'm finding this pregnancy that I'm getting more twinges (not all the time) with braxton hicks, which sometimes makes me worry. I've also had twinges near my cervix area. Is it just one of those - every pregnancy is different - things? The BH aren't regular or anything, and it's not every time, but I've just noticed it from time to time.

I have such *rage* today. Everything is annoying me. I feel like everything in the house is filthy and I live in a stoned in mass of disgustingness that I can't ever clean (and some issues are beyond my control at the moment.) I let the dog outside and I'm downstairs (three flights down from where I let him out) trying to handwash dishes so I can make dinner for me and my son, and the dog is just out there barking for no reason. So I literally feel like unleashing hell and beating stuff up. What is my problem?!

I think I often feel this way during the weekends my husband has to work and stay the night somewhere (due to him not being able to get to work on time on Sundays due to public transport times on weekends) so I just feel alone, isolated, stressed out.

Even my son's recent British-leaning accent that's been coming out has been INFURIATING me! I don't even know why. I seriously correct his pronunciation of words because it annoys me so much but I know it's all ME and not HIM because he lives in England, therefore he is speaking that way. I guess it's just one of those things that makes me feel so strange, hearing my son speak so unfamiliar in his accent to me that is becoming more and more noticable (even though I live here and my husband is English.)

The weirdest things are throwing me off!

I also had a week from HELL at work. I mean, utter hell. I cried numerous times. I did have a facebook message from one of the lead radiographers who said: "Hi Gena! Didn't get to see you before you left today but just wanted to say wot a fab job u did this week! It's been a hell of week & so glad its the weekend! It's so tough being 1st contact but u r a lovely calming influence. Have a relaxing weekend xx" which was a nice thing to read after such a horrible week at work... but even so, I feel like I can't breathe right now. Everything is annoying. I even feel like I can't enjoy my son or give him the attention and interaction he deserves from me... because I'm tired and angry all the time. I almost thinks he is preferring his childminder to being home with me (I can't blame him...)

It just makes me sad.

Shit. I hope I'm not going to be prone to PPD after this pregnancy? I was totally fine after my son but I'm just wondering what's going to happen this one. I better not think about it too much...


Sorry, had to ramble.

[Tiffani3]

it's probably all those hormones playing havoc with you hun plus the bad week at work won't help. I bet you can't wait for your maternity leave. Go have a relaxing bath or something to chill your self out! Xx

[suregena]

I suppose... it's in constant waves, though. I hate that I snap at my son about EVERYTHING. So annoying. I'm annoying MYSELF!

I mean, we have some serious financial issues that we did NOT have the first time, which no doubt also contributes.

Ugh...

Does anyone else feel BH toward their back? I don't recall that happening in my other pregnancies, but it's been happening a lot since my L&D trip to rule out labor.

[Bimby]

TT I sometimes get those, they are quite intense and remind me of labor pains. I keep getting a feeling this lo is going to be early but maybe its just subsequent babies?

Gena, I feel for you, I went through a similar stage a few weeks ago and I felt awful. Good news is that it passed. You are dealing with a lot of stress right now and Im sure you are still very homesick after your recent trip home so with all that AND the fact your hormones are maxed out there's no wonder your feeling it. Don't be too hard on yourself hun, I'm sure it'll pass, bring on maternity leave!! Try & take some time out for you once your DH is back so you can try & recoup, even if its just half an hour, sending hugs x

HBP I thought you might be keeping busy, so glad you're ok. Sending positive thoughts to you & willow xx

I get a TON of Braxton hicks towards my back, it might be because I get back labor with my births though. My bhs have been getting painful and more frequent, makes me more nervous for impending labor in 6 weeks.

[Bimby]

6 weeks to go Rosie, wowza that is close too - Probably seems far away but Id love to only be 6 weeks away Im so bored of waiting although I have so much to do so I guess I need the extra time.

I am excited that I have an Ob appt on Tuesday so I get to see my LO again, it feels like forever since my last appt at 21 weeks. I just want to make sure all is well with my bubba. Hoping my appts will be every 3 weeks from then on as it makes time go quicker. If I think of it by appts every 3 weeks then after Tuesdays visit I'll only have 3 appts before my baby is here I have a few friends due in March and April so hoping that'll make time go quicker too. Tell me those that are in the "30 week" is time going faster now??
