Bitchfest Monday

MrsI

Today is my first day of maternity leave and I would have had to call in sick anyway. DD (2yo) threw up 9 times between 12-3:30, and then tossed and turned the rest of the night having to lay on or touching me. So much for completing the nursery final touches today while DH was off too.

My favorite bra broke this morning. The wire broke and its poking.

Another one for today:

My husband has a bunch of professional development workshops coming up for his teaching job, and - except for one this week - they are mostly on the day I am due, and every couple of days after that. 

Worried that I might go into labor while he's an hour away in a workshop that is mandatory for his teaching license and can't make up, he's pushing for my MIL to come down, starting on the 31st, through whenever the baby arrives (due the 7th) and on to 2 weeks after that. 

Now, I love my MIL to death, but HELLS-to-the-freaking-balls, no! Her over-zealousness is already grating as it is, I can't imagine having her here for a month straight. I know she means well, but the fact that she keeps referring to my unborn child as "her baby" gets my territorial hackles up, and the last time she visited, she joked that my talking of breastfeeding plans had her milk letting down as well. Her best friend, who was visiting as well at the time, joked "if you're not careful, she'll be trying to breastfeed that baby for you".

My second one for the day. Ive had a splitting migrane every day since giving birth. My blood pressure is good but dang i am sick of them. And i know i just need to suck it up

Fleas! My poor dog has fleas and is having a severe reaction. $300 at vet and having to treat my house is really not what I need 5 days before my due date.

My MIL constantly talked about BFing DD. Don't talk about my DD latching onto your saggy, wrinkled, dried up old lady boob! Nasty!

Did you talk to your doctor about it? Did you have an epidural? It could be related.

MinnesotaMomma91

I did have an epidural. I didnt mention it because migranes are genetic for me. I would get them like clockwork with my period.
But if it persisits ill make an appointment to see my midwife

Mom2bois85

I get ONE painful contraction EVERY night! I'm over it!

kwhite27

I was going to b!tch but after reading 4 pages I just don't see the point! It's been covered. Hang in there ladies!!

I'm having the worst SPD flare up of my entire pregnancy. The pain is excruciating.

My second temp starts today (the first one kept falling asleep) so time will tell if I have a reason to bitch today. I'm due in 3 weeks...this one has to work. I'm training her the best I can and then I'm out if there! If she sucks well then they should have started the screening process a long time ago considering I told them I was pregnant in march.

I'm in the same position! I'm also on my second temp and I only have one more day of work..... the newest one started on Friday. I've checked out and it's not my fault since they had plenty of time to hire someone and I mentioned weeks ago the first temp was horrible....

Oh well!

I have been training someone to help my coworker do my job for two months now. It has been awful. It's the reason I haven't been on at all lately. Well my boss wants me to let them do everything and just sit back. It is complete torture. The trainee is a nut and has no clue what she is doing. She tells everyone I am mean. It is not that I try to be mean its that I expect her to know what she is doing. Two months is plenty of time. She doesn't pay attention and then likes to turn around and tell me that I never showed her that. I want to smash her face in by the end of the day. My poor coworker wants to just quit and there isn't anything I can do to fix it. I feel horrible and guilty for leaving.

I have another one....I've called 30 different places trying to find somewhere to get my breast pump through my insurance.  No luck.  I've been waiting on hold for my insurance company customer service person for a half hour.  Still have yet to talk to anyone.  Fml.

And to add another, I'm excited about my baby being here soon. But, I'm not excited because I didn't want to be induced, especially 3 weeks early. I'm getting annoyed by the family members that WE didn't even tell (thank you MIL) telling me how exciting it is that she will be here sooner than we thought, and I must be thrilled, etc. We are having to be induced for medical reasons, not because we wanted to meet her sooner. I know they mean well, but it's just gotten old already.

Wow, late to the party here! My brother's wedding was in Chicago this weekend. I live in GA. I am almost 36w, haven't seen H in a week, riding in an old minivan with my parents, and am completely exhausted. I have started losing some of my mucus plug, have hips that ache continuously and haven't felt my left leg in two weeks. Dear Lord please get me home tonight in one piece.... I do not want to deliver in Chatanooga.

Oh ok. That makes sense! I hope you get some relief soon.

LAMuehlen, I would drop that girl so fast.  Then again, that may be why I do not have a lot of girl friends, I just don't have patience for crap.

Im done after i got chewed out for not wanting to go clubbing. I have plenty of friends who understand my life has changed and plenty of mommy friends. Also i know im a young mom at 22 but im a new mom. I want to enjoy all the snuggles and smiles and baby laughs i can hile i can and i will not be made to feel guilty for that

I was married at 19, so no babies then, but I was so over the clubbing thing.  That lifestyle/mentality gets old quick.

I am so sick of finding spiders in my house. I swear to gawd they are going to give me a heart attack. I'm terrified of spiders, and I find at least 2 a day!! Not tiny, little, "oh-I-can-ignore-you", spiders - giant, wtf, Halloween spiders! I have to wear some sort of shoe at all times in my house! Let me tell you how sexy that is! Undies, sports bra, tennis shoes. HOT.

I am sick of other pregnant people on my FB bitching about their pregnancy. Talking about how they wish they could stop being pg for "two seconds" so they could smoke some pot, or get in the mosh pit.  8-| I can not roll my eyes hard enough to judge the crap out of you. You are only 15 weeks...you've got a ways to go. SUCK IT UP, BUTTERCUP.

Also, incase no one has noticed, I've lost all patience for stupid people.

I know! My house is infested too! It's awful. 

mochalattemama

My bitchy mcbitchfest? I told my mom that I may need to be induced because of the potential for pre-e and she said "OK, but try to do it on the weekend. I can't make it Wednesday." 

You're right - this is all about you. I keep my expectations very low with my mom so I am seldom upset by her, but man, FI is ragin'.

Late to the party as I get nothing done anymore but here it goes. Hubby spent all afternoon yesterday fixing the lawn mower and therefore did not get the one thing I needed him to do done which is to furminate and give the dogs a bath. They smell awful and the dog hair everywhere is killing my sudden onset OCD. I love my fur babies but everything they do annoys me now. My choices are to either pay to get that done with their nails today or attempt to do it myself even though I can't bend over. I feel like I have a million things to do, my house is filthy and can't get off the couch.

I have awful heartburn and no desire to eat so the GD diet is going swimmingly.

If one more person says "I bet you're ready to be done" they are getting throat punched. Yes I am uncomfortable. Yes I want a drink but I am thirty five weeks its not time and due to GD and blood clot history I am already afraid he's not going to cook as long as he needs to. End rant,

I feel like we have a lot of similarities in this pregnancy haha.. Yes, let me schedule my child's birth for when it's convenient for you. (My bitchfest was something very similar!)

@Maritza707 I'm having the same problem. I asked for a list of vendors they work with and the insurance company said I cold use any durable medical supplier. Well guess what UNICARE, not everyone accepts you! I'm still trying to find a place that will. Honestly thinking of just buying one at this point.

MitsB707

@RK125, I tried one last place today, and if they don't work out, I'm just going to buy one and submit a claim for it.  I actually got into a fight with a durable medical supplier on Friday!!!  They had the pump I wanted, are IN- NETWORK, and were trying to bill me for the balance that the insurance company would not cover.  The insurance company tried to explain to them that by being in-network, they had contracted rates that the medical supplier were allowed to charge, and were NOT supposed to balance bill the members, but the "supervisor" didn't understand.

Hope you have better luck than me.

so our new person decided to unexpectedly quit Friday so now I'm working every day this week except Thursday.  Awesome.  I feel like I can barely work the shifts I have now.  I'm in so much pain and so tired I just want to rest but I can't.  

edit : I work retail so I worked all weekend so that's 6 out of 7 days on my feet.

@manditxg-poor thing! I totally get it. I manage 5 different stores and I am completely looking forward to my maternity leave that starts Wednesday.
Being on your feet for that long is becoming unbearable!

At 19 i was holding down a full time job working part time as a shop manager for a tattoo shop. Ive never been interesed in drinking or clubbing. Im to busy being an adult for that.

At 22 im a full time cosmetology student full time time new mom i work part time at a pizza place am looking for a salin job have a serious relationship and that leaves me no time for clubbing. My free time is for family friendly fun

Seriously?!?!?! I've had heartburn ALL day since 3:00 this morning!!! Definitely letting my dr know tmrw morning at my appointment.

Lilmrslay

My bitchfest is that I am 2 days away from giving birth (being induced) and I haven't heard a thing from my mother in over 6 weeks. The thing is, I shouldn't expect anything from her as she has been this way for years, but then she thinks she is coming to visit from Australia after baby is born and wants to stay with us! I haven't seen her in over 7 years! She hasn't once come home to visit me since leaving the country! As baby's birth gets closer it is winding me up more and at this stage all my mother will get when LO is born is the same text all our other acquaintances will get. Phone calls will be saved for our best friends and those people who have actually been there beside us the whole way.

I took the twins with me to my weekly OB appointment this morning and came back out to the car to find that some douchenozzle had parked crooked and so close to the passengers' side of my car that even Kate Moss would not have been able to get my daughter in her carseat. I had to bring DD in the front set with me, straddle to center console, and buckle her in that way. I did leave a nasty all-caps note on their windshield and dinged their drivers' side front door for good measure, but I still wish the owner would have been there so I could have yelled at them instead.

My husband's comment about how Doctors should have a better way to estimate a due date because of "technology these days." He doesn't do well with the unknown and constantly asks me how I am feeling and expects me not to pick up on the fact that he's hoping I go into labor any day (I am ok with it, but not antsy). I have told him soooo many times that baby girl will be here when she feels like it, and no one can tell me exactly when, nor can his online research help him narrow down the time when I go into labor. Ugh.

Sorry, tmi...

I've felt like I needed to poop all day and every time I try, nothing...some gas but no success.

I have had the same kind of issues the last couple of days!! Not fun!

I woke up at 3:30 this morning to my cat climbing on top of and then falling into our ball python's tank. Both of them are fine, but the lid to his tank is being held together with duct tape and I didn't get back to sleep. I spent the weekend moving back into my mom's house, so I was already tired. That really did not help.

How big is your ball?

@ELauren88 It's so frustrating dealing with people who are 18 weeks pregnant like "I'm so sick of baby kicking all the time," and I'm thinking wait until you get to 38 weeks and see how sick of it you'll be then when I haven't even complained once on Facebook about any symptoms.

It was my birthday today and I'm so pregnant I didn't feel up to going anywhere with DH or doing anything

TurtleMomma

Happy (belated) birthday @11dematosk!

@TurtleMomma thank you!

Sorry to hear about your med problems

Not entirely sure, he's pretty much my husband's snake and I kind of keep my distance. I'd know he's 4ish feet, not sure about a weight though.
