    My other UO: I don't understand the obsession with shark week. I understand that it's interesting and educational, as well as entertaining but I feel like it has become quite the fad this year.

    Yep!! Or they turn out...well, they turn out. I used to work as a jail nurse, so I'm thinking of the more extreme cases (not the moms that used a zit cream here or there!). I relate to this one, if you look at my search history it's nothing but "is ______ safe for pregnancy." Basically making myself crazy over it. I have rosacea (was diagnosed at 24, unfair) and only been off meds a couple weeks and skin is already a mess. Just trying to think "this will be worth it!" Over and over. My UO; I am not excited about a little baby, or little kids; I am excited to have teenagers/young adults. I'm sure I will enjoy the stages, but I want to get to know the little person I made.
    I feel exactly the same way. When I say that everyone looks at me like I'm crazy.

    @eme520 It's not like I'm burning down trees for the sake of not saving the earth. Also, never did I say it was uncool to be a crunchy mama or be environmentally friendly. I was just simply pointing out that the reason I'm choosing to CD isn't because my goal is to help the environment (not that I'm against it!) but because I want to save money and because I think it's cute.

    I seriously side eye people who try to use pregnancy to get out of doing there job. Unless you are high risk or are put on restrictions by your provider. Your pregnant, not sick. I worked 12 hour shifts on my feet until I delivered last go around, so when people have a desk job and want a note to get out of work I have no sympathy. This goes double in the beginning of pregnancy..


    I used plenty of excuses to get out of my job without a doctor's note and I wasn't high risk. My circumstance is a little different. I have job where I'm at my desk and in the field. I refuse to do my normals tasks that require me to go into buildings with mold, lead, asbestos, contaminated materials. Sure my company offers the proper protective equipment but its still not worth the risk to me.

    Also, I have a friend who was so sick she was getting dehydrated and needed to get a few IVs of fluid pumped in her. She didn't seem any sicker than me yet she was missing a ton of work but never got a doctors note. Every pregnancy and the way a women reacts to the hormones is so different. It's kind of a blanket statement to say women shouldn't miss work and should just deal with it.

  • I majorly side eye posts about having major symptoms as soon as someone finds out she's pregnant. And I wonder how much of those "symptoms" are in her head.
    Yes, I know pg symptoms are real, but before 4 weeks? Really?

    Agreed. DH was into it so I was watching in between flipping the pages of my new HGTV magazine.

    I side eye the heck out of people who are already complaing about weight gain.  Seriously, we're barely into our pregnancies here.  Sorrynotsorry you put 3 pounds on your ittybitty frame (yes, anything around 115 pounds is ittybitty), but it's a fact of pregnancy.  If you're complaining now, I hate to see what happens down the road. 
    THANK YOU for saying this!!!! I was kind of disgusted yesterday in the bloat pic post with all these 110 lb. girls whining about putting on weight/turning into a house/etc. I wanted to say something, but didn't have the energy. First of all- you're not getting fat, you're PREGNANT. Something a million women cry for every night, so be thankful and enjoy what you have. Secondly- if you weigh 110 lbs. (which apparently SO many girls here do) don't talk to me about getting fat ok? Just shush. I'm not overweight, but I haven't weighed that little since I was 20. Now I've had a baby, my body's never going back, and I'm ok with that. Whether you bounce back to your original weight or not- it doesn't matter. You made a baby!! /steps off soapbox.
    @MrsRoy07 After reading this and knowing that we have the same amazing taste in books, I think we're going to be BFFs.

    I'm not saying you shouldn't have an opinion, obviously you do. Maybe I worded that wrong! I just have a couple of friends that act like if you don't do something a very specific way yourself, you are/will be wrong. I agree, I think you should do whatever makes you most comfortable and whatever is best for your family.

    My UO, which is probably going to start a debate... but I was talking about it with my husband last night too:

    I don't think people at fast food restaurants deserve 15$ / hr. 

    What? They get $15/hr?? WTF? I completely agree. Maybe someone that is a manager or someone with more responsibility than putting together a Big Mac but definitely not someone taking orders or flipping burgers.

  • I have a few uo's. ladies, I don't understand the hype about the bachelorette. I just don't.

    Secondly, please you are not fat! I really don't want to hear that for the next 8 months...sorry

    Third, I wish everyone could be supportive and less bitchy. If you don't have anything nice to say keep it to yourself. We're all pregnany and hormonal. There's no need to get anyone worked up

    I agree!! Ppl are using pregnancy to be even more bigger bitches!! I'm not saying u can't complain but damn this has been done for years now women have been giving birth for centuries!!! There's nasty coming fr so many ppl I say if ur nasty dont be mad when what ur carrying comes out to be just as nasty!! I think ppl come here for support n ppl that understand what they are feeling not to be judged n be bitched at if I don't agree with someone I keel scrolling cuz I'm too bless to even be bothered!! Men could be on a forum n be good with each other but women are ridiculous to me I always thought of being pregnant as a blessing n a joy no matter what!! Its like ppl come on here angry n mean ready to kill another pregnant woman vibe!!! But I'm the wrong one cuz no one can kill my vibe!! I'm Bless Favored n loving this journey!! Have several seats all u miserable ppl!! Go somewhere with that mess!!! (I'm just saying! Keep it cute like ur face! That's how I live outside cute n inside even cuter! I love my life! Don't attack others for being who they want to be! Don't judge! Just share respectfully!!
  • @AcaAwkward - everytime I see your name I start seeing or quoting things from Pitch Perfect.  Thank you  :)  


    I don't really have anything yet.  I'll see what everyone else comes up with.  My UO would only be relatable to folks here: I despise chai, ugali, and sukuma.  (All core staple food items here).  Ha.  I'll see if I can come up with something different later.  
    Where are you? I love chai and I like some ugali, depending on how it's made. What is sukuma?

    As I stated before, this community generally has a more straightforward approach than others. Feel free to check out some others if you don't like how it's run because I can guarantee you this is about as puppies and rainbows as it's going to get.




    As I stated no bitch can kill my vibe n several seats is waiting for anyone who wants to!! I'm not going to leave I'm always going to remain who I am dont like it u can always leave or sit down with the other grumpy ppl cuz I'm lmaaaooo at all of the ridiculous quotes like the one stated by u! Ty boo boo!!

    I entirely get where you are coming from. I leave the room if they do an x-ray on the floor even though I could wear a lead apron for protection to avoid that risk.

    My sister-in-law was also hospitalized multiple times with hyperemesis with both pregnancies.

    The situations I refer to are people who are entirely healthy and don't think they should have to sweep a floor or work normal non-hazardous jobs just because they are pregnant.

  • I'm VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD BELIVE THAT!! I don't come on here looking for rainbow or puppies!! I'm home bored for now that's all!! I could give a hoot if ppl choice is to be bitchy n blame pregnancy to just be a bitch to other do that shit with who KU not women who genuinely on here to be supportive with others!! Go somewhere with that bs!

This is a forum for pregnant ppl not a group for hating! Judging n mean girls!! Grow the F up ppl can all share without being attack!!

    UO: I absolutely hate the words bitch, bitchy, bitches, bitching. I tend to hang out in feminist spaces so seeing women refer to each other as bitches gives me hives. 


    Also, failing to type very difficult words like "you", "people" and "and".


    Being straight forward I can spell You! People! And! I'm sorry that I'm younger and chose to type however I chose too! I majored in English its not an issue its a CLEAR CHOICE!!

  • I didn't realize I may have contributed to such a controversy...I'm sincerely sorry (no sarcasm/snark). I didn't intend on a 9 month rant (and hope that we won't be hearing it for along time), just more of a pity party as I thought I'd have more time with my regular britches. I am nowhere near 115 pounds and I am down to my one pair "fat" pants which are already too snug and a pair of maternity pants.

  • Well, I didn't think my UO would cause so much tension. Personally, I haven't had any encounters of women being bitchy, I was just making a statement because I have heard others complain about it. I agree that you need to be able to take some criticism some days, but that doesn't mean people have to be hateful. I, for one, can take whatever someone throws at me because of the profession I chose, but others tend to be more sensitive. Just a statement ladies, sorry for the conflict. Have a wonderful day.

    Wys, you're not helping your case by calling out the people who called you out. I would just step away and call it a day, this is an argument that is going to happen a thousand more times between now and all of our due days. 

    Unpopular opinions are just that, unpopular. People get flamed in this thread all the time. It is what it is. Sorry that someone expressed THEIR opinion. You expressed yours that you don't like bitchy people. Thanks, we get it. This is the way the bump / the nest / the knot is. Anyone whose been around the block knows this and we're here because we can accept that fact. Everyone's going to get flamed some time... 



    Guess I'm not a girl who's "been around the block" still no excuse for it n no I'm not trying to help my case I'm simply expressing why I'm right n don't think accepting the fact that ppl can n will come on here taking whatever they maybe feeling out on others who are clearly in the same position! I don't follow suite I'm just different what others expect I won't! Many shared whatever about Obama! N other things Idc about that even if I don't agree but attacking others is lame! Ppl can all share without attack if anyone chose to except it that's fine! But if u come for me I'm coming for u as ppl stated its a straight forward board right??!! I'm VERY DIRECT N STRAIGHT FORWARD!!

  • It seems so early for all the rude talk. I don't recall reading anything that was even close to snarky yet.  We are all still high on the fact that we are actually pregnant.

    I agree with PP's that The Bump is a tell it like it is place. When support is needed it will definitely be received but no one is going to hold your hand and hair pat everything you say.

  • I always side eye when woman say they can't eat cheese while pregnant. One, it's only unpasteurized soft cheese you need to worry about. Two, unless you MADE it or one of your many friends from Europe sent it to you, all cheese sold in the states is pasteurized. Enjoy your cheese!

    WHAT?! no cheese?!?!?! that is just lunacy.

     

    I hate lying to my friends during this waiting limbo. i'm sure that's not an UO, but we pretending to drink  and not be exhausted is...well...exhausting.
