I am over commuting at least an hour each way to/from work every day, not being able to get comfortable at all in the car, and especially when my bladder prefers being emptied every 10 minutes!
I am also over the effort it takes just to roll over in bed (3 pillows to rearrange, and then having to drag the duvet back off DH where it has gone!) I am over none of my bras fitting properly anymore, even when they are brand new, and fit me just 4 weeks ago! Fortunately, I haven't had any heartburn or throwing up, so I'm slightly better off than you Emma. I agree with the ham thing though Sheza!  -------------

I am over never knowing exactly how I'm going to feel emotionally in ten minutes time.
I am over all talk of pregnancy from anyone who isn't pregnant themselves. I am over the feeling the need to have my life sorted even though its a complete mess. I am over being tired yet not being able to sleep. Wow I'm really in a grump. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Ooh yes, re: the alcohol, or even 'bad' food for me!
Offering it to me, and saying things like: "I'm sure one glass of wine won't do you any harm", or "I ate cold ham all the way through MY pregnancy"
It's like people want to make themselves feel better for how they chose to act during their pregnancies, by making me partake in things I have chosen not to! -------------

Oh yes, I had a friend who kept offering me a glass of wine when I was pg with Jett. It got on my nerves, and I thought it was pretty rude! She's never been pg and doesn't want kids. She only drinks red wine, and I don't like red anyways, so wasn't hard to say no, but it would make me feel bad for rejecting her! ------------- My babies: R (9),G (7), J (5) http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Oooh, I like this thread. Thanks for starting it Emma!!!
I am over not being able to have eggs benedict I am over not being able to sit up for more than 15 minutes without wanting to scream (and sometimes cry) from back pain I am SO over the 6 step process involved in rolling over that I do at least 7 times a night I am over the constant trips to the loo I've over feeling hungry and eating lots of junk food cos it's easy I'm over work I'm over having people say "must be getting close"- and then saying (with gritted teeth), yes, just 9 whole bloody weeks to go (and then thinking "and I bet the baby will be late) I am over being in my head while I try to get my head around finishing work and yet really struggling with the thought of giving up work (my head is a MAD MAD very contradictory place) I am over having to think about money and being on one income. I want to win big Wednesday And, last for now, I am over the neighbour's bloody dog barking all day and keeping me awake when I want to/need to sleep. I am so over it that I finally rang the council and reported them. Ahhhhhhh. Though I could feel my BP going up while I was writign that list!!! ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

Risk of listeria. Eggs are meant to be fully cooked (which just isn't the same).
SofiaJ - am so with you on the buying a bottle of wine. We're stockpiling for when I can have a glass or two and I always feel so guilty. Besides, risotto with no wine - it's just not the same. ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

I'm over feeling so big and uncomfortable and then having people turn around and say "But you're carrying so small and tidy!"
I'm over waddling everywhere, and feeling so blah because I cannot physically manage to walk as much as I had been. I'm over feeling frisky, but being too sore/tired/uncomfortable to follow through. I'm over my sons using my tummy as a push-off point when they get up from beside me. I'm over the heartburn. I'm over irritable uterus useless contractions that are so sore and uncomfortable and don't do a damn thing! ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

And...although there are plenty of other things...I'm over waiting to meet this little person! |

*giggle* DH keeps telling me not to lie on my back (even for 5 mins)! I had to reinforce to him that I would know if any blood supply was being reduced! I.e. He wasn't worried about the detrimental effects for me, just the baby!
At least it shows he's interested! (He also gets a weekly email on "what to expect this week of your pregnancy" - I'm sure he's starting to develop signs of being 7 months pregnant!)
ETA - sorry not really a rant!! -------------

I'm over DH complaining about ghow I steal the blankets. When you do a 6 point turn every hour, it's impossible to keep the blankets in the same place. Besides, my share of the blankets have to cover 2 people - when I tell him "it's for the baby", I get away with it. ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

Im so over not being able to lie on my back,
Im so over not being able to lie on either side (it squashes a baby either side - and hurts. Im so over having to pee 24/7 but my bladders already empty. Im so over not being able to sit down as there isnt enough room for the babies, And Im so over not being able to stand up as they get too heavy. Im so over everyone asking me how long I have to go. Im so over growing out of my maternity clothes already. Im so over everyone saying that they would have loved having twins. (one would think that it will be a fairy-tale to have twins!!!!) Im so over knowing that I have so long to go still! But Im not over this thread - I dont feel so bad about complaining - I feel normal instead.
