I need to know when the PP bleeding stops. Seriously, it's been 10 days and I cannot handle these giant diaper pads any longer.

Just when I think it's slowing. Nope.

I've needed at least a liner for 5-6 weeks after every pregnancy. Sucks.

My baby is Houdini. He manages to wrestle 1 arm out of the zip up swaddle pods. What the heck?

I just can't with the pregnant randoms complaining about still being pregnant when they haven't even reached their due date!

I agree with you, but I feel for the *non-random* moms who are due at the end of the month. It's gotta be hard to be due at the end of the month rather than the beginning. You get everyone else's birth stories and it's gotta make you impatient. I felt that way and I was due on the 12th.

It's just weird to think there are moms that will be back to work after maternity leave before some of these babies are even born!

and @TKT17, I bled for 9 weeks with DS1.   I think that's more the exception than the rule but I don't think it's unusual to bleed for a month or so. Hopefully it slows down for real for you soon.

@littlemissmarla‌ no treats since maxi dresses, maxi skirts, and maternity tanks don't have pockets Glad I'm not the only one thinking these things! @symphony4586‌ she started licking my arm and cleaning me- so apparently to my 6.5 pound morkie I need all the help I can get these days.

AW: my 8# stalker. Waiting right outside the bathroom for me. Annoying. But very adorable.

I love that yours gives you space!  Mine totally puts her face in between my legs as if to say, anything going on in here????

Of course not! I realized the other day that you hadn't been posting (for obvious reasons) and was hoping you'd be back eventually.

Can we say hallelujah!!! I finally have a bit of progress. Just came from my doc, she said to me, "you're at 4cm. She's not on call this weekend, oh fudge!!

As much as I want to see your face, I can't imagine another docs face all in my vag. Ohhhhh the anxiety! I'm totally singing for the baby a song from the clash! "Should I stay or should I go?"

The 27th. So, I'm not overdue yet. But, it'd still be awesome to not get there!! Congrats on your progress!

Lol! Thank you. I'm with you too. Due on the 31st. Longest. Month. Ever.

Seriously, not that I don't love you guys, but I'm really regretting not joining the August board now.  Because I also secretly hate a lot of you at the moment   But I'm gonna gloat so hard when you're all back at work.

JLHV1909

If one more person puts their hand on my belly today I'm going to lose it.  Why now that I am one day overdue and all the sudden it is one hot area for action?  I need to find and destroy the sign that says, sure, now that I'm waddling and totally uncomfortable please feel free to weirdly caress my baby belly.  Don't freaking touch it.

DD has decided that the only place she wants to actually stay asleep for more then 30 seconds is on my chest.

I have a million and one things I really need to do, including get some lunch. But I can't bring myself to be mad about squishy baby snuggles.

Also my milk finally came in. I pumped an oz from each boob in under 10 min. Now if I can just get her to actually have the patience for the boob everything will be golden.

Yep, definitely bawled my eyes out today in front of two lawyers and stbxh. Effing awesome, especially when the lawyers try to blame it on "pregnancy hormones" not the fact that the assturd wants to take my kid from me 7 out of 14 days.

Not a sympathy grab, just venting.

That's bullshit. No way in the world would I let that dickhead come near my baby after what he did. I say, set his balls on fire! Watch him squirm.

Wow that was morbid.

Yes! My girl has one hand she likes by her face, and no matter what I do to keep it secured, it works it's way up and out to her face in mere minutes.

I really hate that TB saves my unposted comments. Let it go TB. It didn't work out. Stop dwelling on the past.

No seriously, I sometimes accidentally post a new comment forgetting that I never deleted what was automatically saved. So now I've got two completely random posts that have nothing to do with each other and I look like an idiot for those few seconds before I edit.

the bump struggle is real yo.

Neener neener to everyone who practically wished he'd keep me up every hour and be a fussy eater when I deigned to be an optimistic FTM.

This will change

So blame his loss of rights on his need to be a philandering ditchpig.

That's: D I T C H P I G. Make sure they write it down, lawyers are fucking idiots and your stbxh needs to accept he lost his privileges when he let his whoremouth GF take his mancard. Gr.

I second this. I can't even find the words to say what kind of coward this guy is. The fact that he's got the stones to even suggest this is amazing to me. He doesn't even have the integrity to communicate with you, let alone develop the strength and character it takes to care for a child.

This is Theo too! And he is almost 4 weeks old. So ignore people that say it'll end at 2 weeks. Enjoy!

I think my husband is intentionally trying to piss me off today.

I may be posting my birth story from prison if he keeps it up.

It's amazing how much more laid back we already are with baby #2. Everything about being a FTM is terrifying.

dobbyisfree

Ughhhhhhh. I had to drive myself to the hospital and so DH drove my car home during my hospital stay. My car has been in the driveway since July 1st. NOW DH realizes he has no idea where he put my keys. Im ready to beat him up we have a key holder by the door for a reason!!!!!!!!

helloblueeyes

So on top of PP hormones and a fussy baby with breastfeeding issues, we just found out that DH's grandma passed away a couple days ago.

I am a fucking mess you guys.

That was the last of DDs great grandmothers, not to mention a terrific headstrong no nonsense woman I was looking forward to Sylvia growing up with. She was so amazing and I'm so sad right now.

Terrifying, yet so much easier in retrospect. It's all in your head.

I'm sorry for your loss. All 4 of my grandparents died within the first 18 months of DD1's life. It was really hard for me to grieve and take care of a newborn. (((hugs)))

@helloblueeyes‌

Oh no. I'm so so sorry. Hugs to you and your family!

@helloblueeyes‌ I'm so sorry for your loss. DH's grandmother passed away last year and I feel the same way about DD never getting to meet/know her. It's so hard and seems like such a huge hole is left.

livkight

So sorry for your loss, @helloblueeyes‌. I can't even imagine.

I feel somewhat irreverent and petty now complaining about this, but I need to grumble about how I will not have a phone for the next 3 days because of some technical/provider issues.... just as I'm about to pop any day. (I'm 3 days past my late DD). 

Now I'm paranoid that I'll be alone somewhere and need help and not be able to reach anyone. (Also now I can't Bump from mobile when I can't fall asleep at 3am, which sucks!!)
