Twatwaffle Tuesday

mrsschmity

Go ahead and say it...who or what is the Twatwaffle(s) in your life today?

mrsschmity

Maybe I'm the twatwaffle here...but can we please pin the weekly symptoms thread and the thread that has all the doctor questions? I'm not even sure if that's possible, but some of the same questions being asked over and over and over again is getting old. Most of them about symptoms or something else that can be grouped into the same thread instead of posting brand new ones with the Same. Exact. Thing.

If this makes me the twatwaffle, I can accept that.

Totally agree, doesn't make you a twatwaffle at all!

And can we stop asking if no symptoms is normal?! It makes me stabby because I'm pretty much non functional I'm so sick all the time! If that makes me a twatwaffle then I'm owning it!!!

So much this. I get that everyone is anxious in early pregnancy (I'm anxious too) but I can't with the repeat questions. Search feature!

I was just telling DH last night, that being pregnant is Fing scary no matter how many times you go through it. Your gonna worry no matter what! The same questions over and over are not going to change anyone's mind!

YES. YES. YES. And no, you are not the twatwaffle either.
For the record, I am one of those people with hardly any symptoms and this question is still irritating. Guaranteed said people are going to Dr. Google and Dr. G points them in the direction of some website that says lack of symptoms indicates a significantly increased risk of miscarriage or some other bullcrap.

No. Just no. At my very fist appointment my doctor told me not to believe everything I read, and that most information out there for pregnancy revolves around worst case scenarios. I want to tell everyone who is worried about lack of symptoms to stop worrying. And FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP GOOGLING.

My neighbor is a twatwaffle for randomly parking right behind my parking area, which makes backing out extremely stressful.  One of these days it's going to be too tight, I'm going to hit his car, and I will regret nothing.  

mrsschmity

@tarier Next time it happens I would leave him a note like this one...

DeePaddy24

One of my students' Moms is a twatwaffle. Last night she bitched at me because I didn't start a new lesson with her kid at 4:27...I leave at 4:30. Wtf?! By the time I would have explained it, it would have been 4:30...then I'd have to re-explain it all over again today. What is the point?! I'm emotional & grumpy...this didn't impress me. 

Also, this never-ending headache/migraine BS is a twatwaffle. Leave me alooooooone!!

I guess I'm just resigned to our fate.  It's going to be "Oh Em Gee THIS SYMPTOM (or not symptom)" then "The U/S tech said boy, but I think girl, do you think girl? I think that person is not good at their job" then "UGH.  Someone is throwing me a baby shower and I hate everything about everything they are doing all the time" then "Is this my mucus plug <insert photo here>????"  Did I miss any?

I'm a twatwaffle. I am driving myself nuts with Clearblue weeks estimator tests. I took one with FMU on Monday and it said 2-3 weeks. I took one with not FMU this morning after coffee and water and it said 1-2 weeks. I know these things are not super accurate and diluted urine would change the result, but I'm still a little freaking out. I really need to stop POASing. Or I might start my own thread.

Oh, duh.  I forgot "This family member wants to actually MEET the baby after it's born.  How do I tell them to wait 9 months, get a Tdap and flu shot, and wear a hazmat suit when visiting without sounding too controlling?"

@DeePaddy24 I have the headaches too go away!


This sudden nausea is a twatwaffle. I know it's a beautiful thing to be pregnant, but man, I forgot how much I hate the feeling of needing to puke.

TwoBadMice

My husband. For first telling me he's tiered of crockpot meals, then when I make plans for fresh meals all week telling me there were too many vegetarian nights (there are only 2!)

My stupid SIL sent me a picture of her mucus plug. She chose not to educate herself whatsoever during pregnancy and flipped out on me when I explained what it was.

YES!!!! 

Pregnancy is exhausting enough without the constant repetition of the same thinng so you are definitely not a tattwaffle. BUT in a few weeks we will get the pleasure of seeing baby privates on ultrasounds asking us if we can disagree with the OB and tell people that their boy is actually a girl!

Hey hold on there now! I've already told my in laws and parents they will need to update their pertussis, but it only came up because they were talking about our cousin's baby and how they weren't allowed to hold her since they hadn't been boosted and one of their other relatives who is a doctor backed the cousin up on it. Took the opportunity to subtly throw in "yeah, we'll be doing the same so you should get on that at some point". If that makes me a twatwaffle, I'll totally own it. Also I love that my phone now knows the world twatwaffle....

HighFive16

@Sgoldberg247 Yep, some people don't get it and they will post full on in between the legs shots! See you in 10 weeks time and we will be twatwaffles together about it!

My 10 month old LO is a twatwaffle. He was gurgling from 4:30 to 5:30 this morning (I promise he was fine, just chatty) and then once I get up for the day, he falls dead asleep for another 2 hours. I was not impressed. Good thing he's a cute one.

Daycare / cold season! My DS comes home sick from daycare every 2 weeks which I also catch from him every 2 weeks. Only this time he brought home pink eye as well as a cold. Sooooo we are both going to the dr today to get drops. Since he only goes to daycare on wed and thurs, he most likely won't go this week which means I'm not going to work either. And this all happens to fall right before DH leaves for a long weekend hunting trip!

I feel your pain! My 11 month old had a flu shot appointment this morning. She starts acting exhausted and fussy 45 mins before we are due to leave so I call Pedi and rescheduled to later in the day. Put her to bed and she is full of life, laughing and having a party in her crib. WTH with the babies and the mind games. lol. 

GinnyJ2012

DS2's cold is a twatwaffle. Baby boy isn't feeling well and having trouble sleeping. I'll probably catch the cold soon.

alsbaldwin

@HighFive16 - mind games indeed!

The first trimester....anything beats this constant throw up feeling. I can't wait for it to be over! Let's hope it's over LOL

Eh, you're fine.  Maybe this is a UO, but I think what you have injected into your body is incredibly personal and I don't dictate that to anyone.  I make choices based on that however (where my kid will go to daycare, what children my kid will play with, etc.).  I would never tell my in-laws and family who live out of state and see my kid for days a year they have to get a shot.  But that's my stance.  proper handwashing goes a long way.  Now, if the family is local and wants to be a primary caregiver, ok, I'd see that as a condition.  Not to meet their grandkid/niece/nephew.  Nope.

Hand washing only does so much though and pertussis can be lethal to young babies. My family has no issues with vaccines, they just tend to forget to get them boosted on time (or ever). I have no issues telling someone they cannot visit/hold my child if they don't get their boosters. My baby, my rules. I don't care if you're the grandmother/father, the godmother/father, the aunt/uncle, or even my own husband. I would rather come off as a crazy bitch than have my newborn baby contract whooping cough. You either deal and get the shot (that has been proven safe time and time again) or you can video chat until my baby is old enough to generate some of their own immunity to potentially deadly pathogens.

Sure, you're choice. Seriously, your call.  I just think it's tough to enforce.  Are you going to make them prove it?  Show a doctor's note?  Every friend and family member?  Like I said, I am all for it.  And if anyone asks, I will encourage them to, as I did my last kid.  I just think it's a lot to demand someone gets a shot.  You don't always know their medical situation and it may not be in their best interest or even able to (true story, I know someone who demanded someone to who medically could not, this might be why I think it's demanding and a tad unreasonable).  We had people wash hands before holding our baby (under two months, before the first set of shots) and no kissing.  Maybe we just lucked out!  Doing it again this time.

Lilwatz

It also might be how it's done. (sorry for the million posts, trying to be clear about my thoughts.)  I had a friend send an email with the picture of her new baby and stats followed by her list of rules: cannot see the baby for two months, must have shots x, y, and z, etc etc etc.  It's just weird.  How about you celebrate the birth of your baby and if someone asks to visit say, "That'd be great!  We'll be getting settled for a bit, how about in a month or so?"  It's off putting to give a list of rules in my book.  The eyes rolled.

CourtJack

Hmmm. I think if there's anytime in a woman's life that she can be excused for acting a little bonkers (I don't mean you are bonkers at all - just using that word to make my point) it is immediately following the birth of her child. Unless you're doing something to harm your child, I pretty much give new moms carte blanche.

You want people to have their vaccines up to date? Cool. You want people to wear gloves when they hold your kid? Alright. It's your baby and he/she grew in your body for 40 weeks. It's totally your call.

I won't start judging you for at LEAST six months post-partum. ;-)

Follow up to your last post, if someone medically couldn't be vaccinated, then that's a different story.  I have a friend who is allergic to the pertussis vaccine and I wouldn't insist that she get it, nor would I have a problem with her visiting but I likely wouldn't let her hold them, at least as of now.  

I do agree that the way that your friend presented the vaccine issue was a bit off putting though.  Personally, I don't plan to have anyone other than immediate family visiting until 2 months anyways since we live 5 to 6 hours away from our nearest family members and we're fairly new to the area so don't know a whole lot of people so maybe that's why it doesn't bother me.

So much this, my SIL got all superior and KNEW our first was a boy, she could totally tell in the ultrasound. Except we didn't find out so none of the photos I sent here were aimed at his genitals. That was the umbilical cord... Smh

verily

The woman who blew through a stop sign in her absolutely massive SUV while I was already in the middle of the intersection turning left. If I hadn't seen her blasting through and slammed on my brakes, she would've hit my passenger side where my step-son was sitting in the backseat. Didn't even so much as look sorry about it. Stupid, entitled twatwaffle.

Add whoever ordered full trays of Chinese food and left the leftovers in the space I had rehearsal in tonight. I had to let my kids go early cause I was so nauseous! Yuck!

My husband. Or just his butt. Most of my major nausea/vom episodes in pregnancy are smell-related, and he's been walking around the house letting out the most rank silent-but-deadlys and then HE gets offended when I walk in a room behind him and gag.

My husband is a twat waffle as well. This will sound bad, but he's been smoking near-ish to me tonight and all I want him to do is make half a sacrifice and wait until I'm not around. Is that really too hard to ask? Also, he forgot to get coffee, so my already limited caffeine intake will be nil tomorrow. The way he normally takes care of himself has really been bothering me since we found out I'm pregnant.
