Weekly good / bad thread

Hi rod,

i had really bad hormonal headaches until 24 weeks - ice cubes in a flannel, cold air, dark room & that 4Head stick for when ice wasn't practical.

It was awful on top of the sickness, I hope yours passes soon!

Thanks lovely, I suffered from headaches and migraine on the pill so I figured it was to do with hormones! Luckily I haven't been too bad with sickness for the past few weeks, though brushing my teeth in the mornings is interesting!

Ah I've no remedies for that unfortunately , although it did let me stay in most of my normal clothes until about 22 weeks then I just ballooned!

Ha no such luck. I'm looking decidedly pregnant today! Its mainly bread and mash but i'm just rolling with it!

Brilliant Rod! ?❤️

*BT* I had mega headaches and migraines too, they lasted for many months. The only thing that worked was taking the max dose of paracetamol and using those cool strips to stick on your forehead and a stick thing I rubbed on called 4head or similar. Plus lying down in a dark room as soon as I finished work for the day! Around Easter time they stopped but I then got a horrible itchy rash all over instead, because apparently I'm allergic to being pregnant, so looking back I would gladly have stuck with the migraines and headaches! (legs are still scarred from scratching now )

Good - The upstairs of the house is getting sorted sloooowwwwly albeit looking pretty shite compared to what it should have been

Bad - the rest of the house is still a building site and nowhere near ready to live in

Good - It's stopped raining for once

Bad - my granny is very, very poorly. We need to get her from Wales to near us but none of the care homes are suitable or available. She was recovering from a stroke, had several falls, then got an infection which has affected her mentally. Nothing has touched it so we are worried this mental state may now be the onset of dementia.

Good - I have a Toffee Crisp and a Mars Bar waiting for me downstairs.

Bad - we have no money left at all after re-ordering a kitchen and suppliers kept shafting us

Sorry, quite glum really. The good is quite superficial and the bad feels very, very bad. Hopefully next week's will be far more positive!

Sorry PB that's pretty dire. Hugs xx

Bad: the hives on my chest I've mentioned elsewhere. They are itchy and unsightly. Desperately trying to find dresses in my wardrobe that cover my chest.

Good/bad: stopped counting calories. I realised I was driving myself crazy worrying about my calories and all food had become a chore. I'm still eating pretty healthily, just not counting anymore. I feel relieved, but the fear that I'll re-gain all the weight I've lost is lurking at the back of my mind.

Good: payday

Bad: still worried about money. Still nowhere near to having my wedding dress. It's taking SO LONG.

Its not good Rod, its bloody brilliant, the 13 weeks not the headaches obvs!! Good - after about 6 weeks of social weekends, i have one off!! Bad- have to pack to a week away next week, boring! Good- got two weeks off Bad- then my contract ends so i will be unemployed Good- had a lovely send off and there is a possibility of going back in a few months Good- get to spend all my time with E for a few months! Bad- i will be skint!

Good would be- a good friend a paying for all our wedding reception wine.. What a lad!

That its 2 weeks tomorrow until the big day.

got a girly day tomorrow getting my nails and tan done.

bad would be: me and OH ha a stupid argument last night but alls good now.

My dog got out on to a main road by my house tonight, ha to get someone next door to watch the kids while I went and got him frantically trying to not let him be hit by the cars on the road ( really busy road, leads up to v fest!) he's not hurt thank god, pure panick attack after though where my body wanted to collapse on the floor from all the emotions!

Good: I am off work this weekend

Good: Some fun stuff planned this weekend -food, drink, lie in's, shopping. What more could a girl want!

Bad: work is super busy and l am sick of being short staffed. They are being rather demanding and not giving much back.

Bad: my fucking *** of a Auntie is being evasive about giving me my Dad's ashes. She isn't even related to my Dad -she is my Mum's sister. Tomorrow is the last weekend day l am free before we go to scatter the ashes in Ireland.

Bad: money is tight

That's a fantastic "good" Rod!

Good: Survived my first set of nights as the obstetric anaesthetist on-call! I was terrified beforehand and it was really busy for 3 of the 4 shifts but I got through without any major hiccups. It's quite high stress but rewarding overall.

Good: Now back at home with H relaxing for a bit

Good/bad/stressful: Moving day is tomorrow. Argh!

Good - OH is going to pay for and take control of the catering - one less thing for meeee!

Bad- my anxiety has come back with a vengence this week, affecting my job some days.

Good - I have a day off today with my OH and son

Bad - a got a D in my AS level

Good - turns out I got a C in the paper I did, the one I missed due to illness dragged the grade down, so I will need to re sit it

good - I had a great night out with my close mates the other night, missed them soooo much!

Congrats & hugs where needed x

*BT references*

Good - Baby C is putting on lots of weight, we've been out and about and feeling good.

Good - Nursery is nearly done, just carpet to go in and we can get furniture to start storing baby's stuff.

Not much else happening in our house lately!

I like this idea!

Good: Spent some quality time with my little sister (who is one of my BMs) and she understands and supports the idea that I might need to nominate a second adult BM

Bad: I miss having girlfriends around to chat to as the OH just isn't getting into the WP spirit and I feel like I'm going to burst with ideas if I don't talk it out soon!

Good: Found out that I can get my wisdom tooth out despite no obvious issues yet (it's grown in badly so WILL cause troubles at some point but normal dentist can't give it the go ahead until I'm in some REAL pain)... and I get signed off of work for a week!

Bad: At least half of the week will be spent just sat feeling sorry for myself

Good: Cooking up a roast chicken dinner tonight
