Guest guest Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Thanks to all for your responses. Please keep in mind I was venting to the site and not taking my frustrations out on DH. As for the grocery thing, more of my frustration was coming from it taking him just shy of 3 hours to do it and him calling me constantly to see what kind of something we needed, like butter. May seem simple, but when you are already frustrated it doesn't take much to encourage it. Plus my real kicker right now was DH, on the phone with a friend telling him sacarcastically, " Yeah, she has it real rough, laying around and being waited on. " I don't think he completely understands how difficult this is for me or can completely rationalize it. He is in a complete pity party stage and believes he needs mucho credit and pats on the back when he does the simplest thing. I am going to stop here before I get started again. Mikell, My bedrest is similiar to yours. I am allowed to go to the bathroom, get something to eat/drink, and bathe. No steps (Which is difficult considering I live in a 5 story house). So I am planted on the main living level, where I have access to everything with minimal walking. I am currently at the stage that my body is starting to hurt and ache. My hips are killing me, laying on your left side makes this difficult, and I am getting muscle spasms in my legs. No position is comfortable. I do notice this is mostly after taking the medication for contractions....Not sure if it is related but will talk to the Peri about it tomorrow. Keeping busy has been diffiult and my sleep habits are all messed up. Of course, I have done books, crosswords, word finds, and TV. Prolly the most productive thing I have done is starting the baby's scrapbook. Scrapbooking is a little time consuming, so it kept me occupied for a little while. Once I get some more supplies I will get the pages set up, so they will be ready for new pics since I doubt I will have a lot of time to work on it after he is here. I know this is an adjustment for us all and everyone copes in their own way. I don't think it is helping that I think my nesting phase is kicking in and I feel completely helpless and unprepared. I keep hearing from DH, " I will, I Promise " and the vast majority of things I am still waiting on. Hope all is well, , UU 31w 5 days.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 , Your DH is indeed in the resentful phase with his sarcastic comments to friends and NEEDS A HUGE KICK IN THE ASS. You want me to call him and give him a little reality check? ;o) My DH is a very strong, difficult to mold person- perhaps I can work your DH over a bit, or at least send him a 'Sicilian message.' It is truly disgusting phase (resentful/pity party) when they are in it- just take heart knowing you are IN THE RIGHT- the phase will pass if you manage him correctly. Im so sorry you are in so much pain, I went thru alot of that as all my muscles deteriorated. It does get better after they completely deterioriate. Also, i switched sides from left to right alot- no one can expect to stay on the left side the whole time, youll go crazy and screw up your neck, rib cage, hip and knee (on one side). Have you had your DH buy you about 10 king size pillows with king size flannel covers? I recommend. Brace your body on both sides and put 2 pillows (1 between thighs, 1 between knees/ calves) YOU ARE ALMOST 32 WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Youre almost there!! Hang on!!!! Try to be so thankful that youve made it to this critical point- you will be TERM in just 5 weeks!!!!!! You can make it!!

Biotin, alpha lipoic acid, cinnamon, momordica and several others. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Helen, My multivitamin [solaray's Spectro Multi-Vita-Min] has 300 mcg of biotin included in its daily dose. I can't find any of the other things you mention [do alpha lipoic acid and momordica have alternate names?] I've also been using a super-food called Pure Synergy every day, but I can't find any specifics regarding contents beyond broad categories. I am considering stopping it anyway, as it's expensive and I'm not convinced that it makes me feel better. As you can tell, I haven't gotten much past lowering the carb count of my meals and testing-testing-testing, so it's probably time to start looking at my supplement situation. Any advice will be appreciated.

I have heard about cinnamon and but the others I am not very familiar with, especially momordica. How much of these others is one supposed to take for optimum results? Also, can you point me to some research that they actually make a difference? Finally, if anyone has found a supplement I can take rather than exercise, PLEASE let me know immediately! LOL!
