Im So MAD!!

man we are having the hardest time with like everything now days and i just hate it. i feel bad because im blaming it on the marines...i have no one to talk to so i just guessed i could vent it here...well i went to my ultrasound this past wednesday and my dr. told me that i have a 50% chance of delivering early if i dont stay off my feet and basically be on bed rest because my uterus is shortening alot and it's making me dialate when i push but my husband is in california and i have no one to help me with house hold chores like cooking cleaning and store runs...so the doctor tells me that someone needs to help me because if not then dont be suprised if i deliver in the next couple weeks. then when my husband told his Commanding Officer then he told him to tell me to contact red cross but of course with our luck they were bitchy about it and said they could do nothing. then to top every thing off i found out that all the people who i had lined up to take me to the hospital and watch my son cant do it after all and im already 34 weeks pregnant. so needless to say im pretty stressed....this sucks

Wish i lived in the states - i would come and give you a hand, take you to the hospital etc- it would be a pleasure to help outm plus a holiday in honolulu would be just the job!!!LOL!!

I am stuck here in england though sorry!!!

Do you have no close family nearby??

Go to the supermarket - buy a load of paper plates and plastic knives/forks/spoons,
buy foods that dont need lots of prep or cooking. put your meals on these then put them in a bin bag when you are done - no standing to cook, no washing up.

Clothes wise - do a very small wash every other day, just essentials - if you are like me maternity wear is well over priced and hard to get so i only have 5 things i can wear on a daily bais! Then you wont have to hike about a pile of washing.

Iron as you need them, make up jugs of juice so you only need to pour your drinks.

See if any of the local shops will deliver essential so you dont have to keep going shopping.

see if you can take a cab to your appointments??

I know i am probably not helping i know you feel alone, perhaps you should fake contractions and get yourself admitted for obs and then get waited on there!!

eh in a way I know how you feel. we lost a baby at 35 weeks and then my hubby had to deploy soon after that. and then on r&r we got pregnant again (at the time thinking he would be home in July, and we found out I was prego in April) so I figured I could do alone until then. But the day after we found out I was pregnant, we found out he got extended until October. Now I have been bleeding and cramping and the hospital said its a 50/50 chance for me to lose the baby and I need to stay off my feet, then plus I have a blood clotting disorder and am on lovenex and low dose aspirin and I got really sick when I delivered a stillborn and am worried I will get sick again, but I have absolutly no one that can help me here (I am in Hawaii by myself) so I have to be able to go out and good food, and of course our car needs to be reregistered and there are just things that cant be avoided, and we were already told that he wouldnt be sent home bc of it. So obviously they dont care if I lose this baby or not or if I get sick. The only thing I can suggest is just rest whenever you can and just do the things you HAVE to do, if it can wait let it wait. Thats what I have been doing.   Good luck hun!

p.s. I just realized you were in Hawaii too. If you ever need any help like someone to go to the hospital with, you can always get a hold of me even though you dont know me. I cant be much of help with the little things, bc again I said I am supposed to be resting too.   But if you need anything I can help with I would be glad to help.

Wish there was someone to help you around the house.. i know how stressful your whole situation is right now...

hope everything turns out well and yeah you just rest coz the baby still needs to cook in there
