I'm so tired of seeing people complain about not having symptoms and I do this every single time I see it

 

ETA: I also side eye all the drive by's that pop through here looking for support but never actually participate in the board.

I just spent 20 minutes trying to remember how to play the cups game. Thanks, Anna Kendrick.

Speaking of Celebrity Freebie, were I to bat for the other team, Anna Kendrick would be my #1. I love her.

My confession is that part of me is scared of how different life will be with a baby. We've been TTC for 2 years and I'm so happy to be pg. But at the same time, it's the end of an era in our lives. I have loved this stage of life and though I'm ready for the next stage, it is a little terrifying...

You know those creepy people who believe they would totally be BFFs with a celebrity in real life? Those people are delusional and crazy, but...CALL ME ANNA! LETS HANG OUT!

I'm going through that with having 2 instead of 1...and I also remember going through those same feelings when I was expecting my first after trying (with one loss) for 18 months.

My advice to moms-to-be who were struggling TTC, but then have a healthy happy pregnancy is - it's ok to feel overwhelmed and to struggle, hell, even complain that you are tired, uncomfortable, feel sick. You don't have to be totally in love with every second of the pregnancy just because you really really worked to get this little person...you can't expect that of yourself Same thing when the baby gets here.

6 degrees of separation... Anna Kendrick graduated HS the same year I did from the HS across town (I have friends that grew up dancing with her!!).  While I went to school in the biggest "city" it is still only made up of 60,000 people and only had 2 HS's (and my brother was only 2 grades behind her in that HS).  Just saying.  We probably were at a party or at least a sporting event together. We're basically best friends.

I am not looking forward to the next 33 weeks. This is my third baby (second with my DH) and my last pregnancy was terrible. I was so miserable the entire time. This one is showing the same signs of constant exhaustion and nausea.
I am also constantly in fear and dread. I had two m/c in between my girls, both were between 5-6 weeks. I'm 7 weeks now but i know I won't be able to have that feeling of relief in getting to 2nd Tri for another 6 weeks.
I'm also in fear about delivery! I know it's really far away from now, but my first was emergency C and my second was a scheduled C. I really wanted to do a VBAC but last time my doc refused and I couldn't afford to go elsewhere. I do have a different doc now and I'm really wanting a VBAC.

I do not care how amazing and sexy and wonderful your husband is, if you cannot even play the Celebrity Freebie Game for fun, you receive the eye roll of the century from me.

Seconded @acawkward you'd have to be pretty fucking uptight I'd think, to have an issue with it.

My normal gyno doesn't do obstetrics, so I am making the choice for obstetrician mostly based on their openness for VBACs. Switching hospitals and everything.

Even though it's early, I am obsessed with researching breast feeding. I'm afraid that my family and friends won't be supportive if I'm having trouble and push formula.

My MIL is driving me batsh*t crazy by saying "it's going to be a long 8 months" every time I say something maybe a little snarky. My DH and I always banter a lot (pre BFP) and she accuses us of arguing and says that every time now. Seriously! Normally I love my MIL but when she says that I just want to turn around and be like "if you keep saying that it certainly will be!"

Say it! Seriously! If she's normally cool she will probably just laugh and maybe be a little embarrassed but knock it off. Then you get 8 months annoyance free (okay, someone else will probably start doing something that annoys you, but still!).

I'm scared that our cat will feel neglected after the baby. We are crazy people, clearly, but we love our catbutt so very much. 

Glad me and H are not the only crazies. I'm worried that our dog will be upset at losing her room. YES she has a room. It was supposed to be the guest room but doggieface took it over including the human queen size bed.

I rolled my eyes at everyone that took it so serious.

Here's another FFFC based on another post. I think sending your SO out for what you're craving, especially so early, is taking advantage and just perpetuating the notion that being pregnant means you're entitled or deserve special treatment. Maybe once in a great while, but so soon? If you're pulling the pregnant card so early I hate to see what the next 7-8 months will bring.

I didn't shower for 3 full days in a row this week

Confession: the list of people I want to punch currently includes coworkers, employees, my sorry excuse for a health insurer, my husband, my friend's obnoxious 3 year old, and several of the people on this board.

I spent over an hour tonight making egg rolls and sesame chicken on a bed of white rice.  It sounded and smelled delicious, then I was only able to eat one small egg roll and about 8 bites of the chicken.  I ended up making a big bowl of banana and strawberry "ice cream".  It was delicious.  I should leave that as my complete desert, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to break into the dark chocolate M&M's in about 20 minutes.

DH came home from a trip yesterday and didn't give me a hug. (He did kiss me & say hi) Then when we got into bed he put his hand on my butt and I wanted to punch him in the teeth... I even envisioned doing it. Uh. I think I'm a little hormonal.

I'm also crying at everything and am annoyed at myself for it...

I was in glorious Italy at 14-15w last time. You bet your ass I enjoyed some amazing wine at dinner. No way everyone in Europe, where moderation is not a lost concept, gives up alcohol during pregnancy. Here, they feel like they have to say "no alcohol" because of the idiots out there that don't understand moderation. Personally, I'm not even against it in the first tri. There are women out there who have no idea they are pregnant for WEEKS, and continue drinking away and sometimes even doing drugs, and they birth perfectly happy healthy kids. My occasional glass of wine isn't going to harm anything.

One reason, lawsuits. Doctors start telling their patients in the states that an occasional glass of wine with dinner is ok. Someone then drinks wine with every bit of food they eat, their child gets fetal alcohol syndrome, and so they sue the doctor. Its the American way! Not to mention, America still has a bit of a stigma with alcohol. Its still a little bit "bad."
