FFFC

spacepotatoes

@ho11yday, I've been substitute teaching this year so I've had a lot of flexibility and was able to "lay up" when I really needed to, especially during first trimester. It did not make my nausea, exhaustion, heartburn, etc. any less unpleasant or uncomfortable. Was I not allowed to say anything about it to anyone because I didn't have to get up and walk it off every day?

I don't even know what to say about the rest of it. Side-eye her for electing to be induced or sectioned early for convenience, whatever. But to be a total bitch to her because her baby was in distress and had to come out? Something she had no control over? That shit is COLD.

This TB ad makes ma angry every time. 

Looking at the style of the straps and car manufacturer, it looks like the photo might be from a European advertisement. I agree that it isn't as safe as what we are used to, but it may very well have been legal where it was photographed.

Yeah....so I didn't say it was illegal. I said it was unsafe. I didn't realize that physics in Europe were different therefore making it safe for a baby to be hanging out of his straps. 

I'm familiar with European seats. That would solve the chest clip problem. Not the rest of the safety issue. Furthermore, a picture of a baby improperly restrained in a European seat has no place in a volvo ad in the US, regardless of the location of the manufacturer. Volvo makes US ads all the time. Still makes me angry to see unsafe usage. It only helps to perpetuate more unsafe usage, which is my real problem.

I'm a bitch. My SIL3 wasn't due until June and had an emergency c-section due to baby being in distress and now her LO is in the NICU. I ugly cried at work not because of the sadness of it all but rather that I was still pregnant and didn't have mine first. I've been going around telling my DH that I hope she likes her fupa and that she's a fat moo-cow. (Part jealousy because I want this baby out now! but also I'm annoyed at the way she has acted her entire pregnancy...b itching how nauseous she's been, how bad her heart burn is, how tired she is, etc all the while she's gotten to lay up like the fat moo-cow that she is (she quit her job because the girls there made fun of her makeup and clothes supposedly).)

This is messed up.

Well your first sentence is spot on. And really, calling someone who just gave birth a moo-cow? Grow the fuck up. Also, I can't believe someone bragging about being in pre-pregnancy pants didn't think that was gonna get flamed(though WAY milder than Iexpected).

@hfooter - yes thanks. I am insecure about my weight and I'm proud to be wearing pre-pregnancy fat pants already. Sorry you saw that as a brag.

Hmm, I'm curious to know what size these "fat pants" are? Might be hurtful to some people who are bigger than that size to hear them called "fat pants". Just saying...

I'm not going to share that info. There are people here who are bigger and smaller than me and nobody needs to know the size on a label. All that matters to me is that I have jeans that fit and I'm happy about it. Nobody here knows about my body issues because I haven't discussed them. I didn't realise you had to have a certain number on the label to be allowed to feel self conscious.

Oh I'm really shocked you decided not to boast about your PP size, ya know, since you boast about every other fucking thing (not pooping on the table, rich daddy, etc.,)

Wow seriously? Your SIL had to have an emergency c-section, her kid is in the NICU and you are calling her mean names like that? You are seriously fucked up.

Once again I ask, who is raising people like you?

Yes, yes it is.

Her weight has nothing to do with it other than just to highlight how much of a whiney, overly-selfish bitch I'm being.

I wish it was easy for me not to be a selfish cunt especially when I recognize exactly what I'm being.

EDIT my mother always would say that meaning to life work can be helpful for attitude adjustments...which is what needs to happen.

Oh come on. You and a few others here just love singling me out. It's the same people every time and I haven't got the patience for it anymore. 90% of people here don't seem to have a problem, but there are just a few who are just chomping at the bit to tear apart everything I say.

Sorry but I've got bigger fish to fry right now. If you want to act all petty about every single post I make, go for it. I hope it makes you feel better to see all the love tits.

I think that's my FFFC actually.. I pooped on the table with DS and I could caaaare less. That baby came out!! I giggle a little when people get so worked up about it. Do you know what those doctors see in a day?! Poop is just another part of the process.

Exactly, no one cares whether you poop or not, yet she bragged about in not one, but two posts. No one cares! We would've been none the wiser had she not even mentioned it. It's not like it's required that you post whether you shat on the table or not in your birth announcement.

But that's her MO. Braggy McBragerson.

I never said it to her face--to my husband, to myself, and to you all. Not that it makes a difference. I recognize I have a fucked up attitude, but recognizing it is the beginning of the change process.

My FFFC: On Wednesday for lunch I had Arby's, Thursday I had Steak and Shake and right now I'm enjoying a chicken strip basket from Dairy Queen. So stinking delish!!! The worst part is that I've hid the bags from dh every day. I don't want to hear it...

EmilyGolden1

In regards to shitting during delivery-- I am hoping for a water birth- if I shit in the tub it will float to the surface- they have scoops to get the poop out-- like for a giant goldfish tank.A GIANT HUMAN GOLDFISH POOPER
SCOOPER YOU GUISE!!

If I shit a floater I will probably laugh the kid the rest of the way out. Can I share that in my birth story post??

I visibly cringed and groaned while reading that. DH asked if I had a contraction!

ho11yday

@spacepotatoes‌ it gets obnoxious when every word out of her mouth revolved around her discomfort. Does it mean she shouldn't have complained? No she had every right to and it doesn't mean she or her baby deserved this. Not one bit. No one chooses to have a baby in distress. Hopefully no one wants an emergency c-section.

It just sometimes felt as though she was rushing everything (@35 weeks, she was saying how far dilated she was and how it meant she was going to go early, her AS was during the week after mine despite her being due 4 weeks after me, etc--gah, I realize how many times I've used the word "me"), how everything was *so* horrible for her, and it felt as though she was acting as if she was the only person suffering. Likewise, based on what she had previously said about going early makes one think she planned this (irrational, yes because she wasn't only person involved in the decision making process).

The difference in the way she acted is likely due to her being a more vocal and public whereas I tend to be more private, hence the reason I perceive it this way when in fact this may not be how she intended.

Regardless, none of this is a good rationale for being a bitch.

I just ordered $17 worth of lunch at Panera. No, ma'am that's not a UPick2. I want a full salad (with a baguette) and a full sandwich (with chips). I got it to go, and considered getting 2 drinks so she would think I was getting it for someone else, but then I realized I don't care. Yum.

I do plan to pick the olives off my salad and share them with my dog. That counts right? :-)

spacepotatoes

@ho11yday I can see where, if someone is constantly complaining about something, that would get irritating. But it sounds like there are much deeper issues there between you and SIL that are maybe clouding your interpretation of her words and actions, and especially her current situation.

You'd better put it in your birth story. 

I'm hoping for a water birth, too. I can only pray its a floater not diarrhea. Can you imagine how gross that would be in a birthing tub? I'd get out with baby dangling. AHHHHH I JUST TOTALLY FREAKED MYSELF OUT. Gross.

My C-section is scheduled for tomorrow morning and my DH and I still can't agree on a name for our baby, 

My FFFC: I am hoping he will just give up and let me name our son. 

Same here! My RCS is Wednesday and I am so completely over the fact that we haven't settled on a name. I'm completely stressed over it and wish DH would just suggest the perfect name so we could be done with it.

FFFC 1 - I really hope I don't poop on the table or tub or wherever I end up pushing, not so much because of being ashamed but because I really don't want to smell it.

FFFC 2 - I also am really hoping to be able to get into my pre pregnancy jeans pretty soon after delivery - DH, baby, and I are planning on going to visit family, so I will need to look presentable (wear jeans and a nice shirt). At this point I REALLY don't want to go out and spend money on clothes for myself. I would much rather put it towards a savings account, or even just going out with DH and baby.

FFFC 3 - I am 39 weeks and would love to have this baby come out! I def understand all the ladies on here who really want the baby OUT, but I agree with PP's. If the baby is doing okay why choose an elective induction/csection? We can't be pregnant forever, it's physically impossible!

FFFC 4 - There are some people who I just want to slap. Don't blow your nose while you are standing right by me! So gross!!

If you think poop is bad - I had my mucus bloody plug floating in the tub during labour. I could even pull it out as it came. Bodily fluids get everywhere. It's all good.

I did poop on the bed and knew I did it. I'm sure I went "oh no" and apologized. But my mw wiped it and didn't say anything. With that kind of pressure who wouldn't poop?

83edwards

@awc1986   I figured you had no self esteem given the number of your posts that are bragging about something, You deserve to be called out....yes, you rub some of us the wrong way, but it is based 100% on your attitude on this board. If you want different results, then change the way you post. Andplusalso, I don't see why you don't just tell us the size.....we know you like the attention.

@ho11yday  shame on you. My pregnancy was hard.....I had lots of things come up. When I was induced our of medical necessity at 37 weeks, and spent the next week in the NICU, I sure hope people weren't talking about me the way you are talking about your SIL. For the record, I wanted my baby out. I really did. Until her lungs weren't ready. Then, all I wanted was her back in. Even now, she is home with me on a heart and resp. monitor. There is nothing fucking easy about pregnancy, childbirth, or having an early baby. You should shut your jealous mouth.....

I hadn't even thought about the mucus plug! I think that pooping on the table seems a lot more shocking than anything else is because it's a normal bodily function we all do in private. Anything else is baby related is just kind of part of the package deal, so not as much thought goes into it.

Looking at the style of the straps and car manufacturer, it looks like the photo might be from a European advertisement. I agree that it isn't as safe as what we are used to, but it may very well have been legal where it was photographed.

It also looks like the door is open, so maybe they are still getting the kid strapped in.

My FFFC is I think I am becoming an EP with formula supplement at 3 and half weeks PP, I just can't deal. I feel bad because I spent $ on a breast friend, bought nursing tanks,/bras and had my mom sew me a cover. Baby just won't latch right I can't fix it I tried and I need to sleep once in awhile.

I'm in the same situation, I am EP and supplementing too! As much as I wanted to EBF, it just didn't work out. I'm still beating myself up about it but it's getting better as my supply is increasing and baby is getting more of my milk. You know what is best for you and baby, so hang in there momma!

FFFC 1: I love Nickelback. Not like, love. I don't even care that Chad cheated on me and married Avril.

FFFC 2: most of the time, when DD2 is ready to eat, I feel like I don't have any milk for her. I just have boobs.

FFFC 3: we are radio surfing right now, because the song on sucks. The radio landed on Brad Paisley, "I'm gonna miss her". I shamelessly sang with extra twang in my voice.

FFFC 4: if Lance Bass we not gay, I would try to marry him. Him and NPH. ... Can we bring back the hot guy thread? I might do that now. We all need some hot guy after this thread.

This morning DH was supposed to go with our best friend for his bachelors party (DH is the best man for the wedding on Sunday). DH took this week off work to be home with LO and I. Because there's been a lot we had to put off lately (like fixing my car) he finally had time to do it this week. Yesterday was the first time he really got to sit down and be with LO besides when he feeds her at night. So he called our friend and said that baby was up all night and we didn't sleep. So he wanted to spend the day with LO and I, bond, help me since I'm exhausted... Ya know, have priorities like a family. I didn't twist his arm to stay home, he chose to. Our friend has refused to speak to him all day. Didn't even answer his call. So DH called one of the other guys to make sure he got the message. Other guy said "yeah he got it. But I think he's very justified in being pissed at you". Really!? A man puts his NEW baby first and you go into high school pissy mode!? I almost don't want to go to the wedding cause I know I won't be able to keep my mouth shut when he makes a comment about it. Then other guy has the balls to practically say something along the lines of if ya would've wrapped up ya wouldn't have this problem. Seriously!? One this child is a miracle to us after the loss we had and previous I've had. And two she's not a problem. She was planned. Thanks. Fuck people.
So my FFFC: I hope something at the wedding goes wrong and pisses him off (he's the damn bridezilla... Not the bride!) just because I'm sick of his childish "the world revolves around me" ways. Ugh! I've hated this wedding since they told us about it!

Same here. I pooped on the table, my water broke in the hospital hallway and I've basically been leaking fluid since. And it never occurred to me to be embarrassed about any of it. Its not the first time they've seen it and not the last. I'm glad that my water broke so quickly and whatever helped get baby out quick. And I don't care about how many people have seen my boobs and vag at this point!

Haha! I'm worried about this. Not pooping but shitting non stop. I have bad anxiety and when I get nervous it upsets my stomach. But oh well if I do!

Also instead of reading baby-care books I am rereading the novel that inspired our baby name. I read it once 10 years ago, I want to make sure it's still the book I want to name our daughter after. 

Rather than start a new thread will just update here -- I didn't finish the book in time. Baby Lucy arrived Friday night at 8:10pm, fast and furious. Had BH all day. Except, oops, maybe that wasn't BH. Water broke around 5:30pm, I yelled at H to take the dog to boarding (25 minutes round trip) and call the neighbor to stay with me. Neighbor is also an RN and after a few contractions knew to call 911 for "imminent birth" (her words). We did make it to *a* hospital (but not the hospital where I was supposed to deliver) and the doula made it too. Which was lucky, because I arrived fully dilated and had no choice but to do it without an epidural. Believe me, I asked. 

So my belated FFFC is that on Friday I was a dumbass and completely missed all signs of early labor. Luckily it all worked out fine, baby is doing great, but if we had waited a little longer and tried to plow through rush hour to get to my original hospital then we might have been pulling over on the side of the highway.
