Random question- im 36+3 and got voted to be a union rep at a state conference this weekend 2 and a half hours away from where I live. I'd be gone from Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon. DH and mom are starting to express some anxiety about me being gone that far for that long this late in my pregnancy. I'll admit, I'm tired, struggling to do lot of physical stuff, and I would have to be "on" since it's a voting conference. my question is- would you go or would you stay home?
I personally wouldn't... I think the fatigue from travel alone would be too much at that stage.
I've had a decreased appetite too plus the issue of NOTHING ever sounding good to eat. I wish I had cravings.
Nothing sounds good to me either, though I've learned that I can manage three things: ice cream, cookies and mac n cheese today. So apparently, I am now a 3 yr old.
I went the mac n cheese route today too. It's the only thing that sounded remotely good. But hey, cheese is protein and there's calcium....right??
Funny you should mention... went to my therapist today and told her about all the ice cream and mac n cheese and she reminded me that baby is solidifying bones at the moment. So, yeah! Just helping to build baby

Is it a good opportunity for you career wise? Is there a benefit to you besides the experience? If the answer is yes, then I do think I would go. If not, I'd skip it.
Just clicked in another thread...and thought "oh shit, no she diiiiidn't". No one calls out KBRANDS ... (I think the post was accidental anyways)
********QBF*********
So embarrassed that I misposted! I must have accidentally backed my browser I saw the warning repost and was thinking, Geez, what idiot can't follow directions?!?...me. It was me. I really hate mobile bumping sometimes (as also evidenced by the frequent qbf I encounter when mobile).

It's mostly experience than anything. I was the only write in candidate because I volunteered for it. I can always get involved in the union in other ways.

I would pass, it seems like a large time commitment to be there from Friday to Sunday. Maybe in addition to voting it is also a conference, which for me would be a hell no.
Yeah, if it's just "experience" then I would pass too, that sounds like more work than it's worth at this stage.
re: eating -- I haven't noticed any appetite suppressant effect, but I definitely cannot fit in as much food as I used to. I was sort of looking forward to doing a farewell tour of our favorite restaurants before the baby comes along and we can't go out as often (or as easily), but now I'm not sure it would even be worth it. Why go out and pay for a meal when I can only eat like 8 ounces of food?
Update: I told my union rep I couldn't go, then asked my midwives. They said the time away pushed their limits, but more importantly since it wasn't going to be relaxing and I wouldn't be able to rest as much as I need to they were less than comfortable with it. the good part was I called my principal to tell her and she said that "for a first year teacher" I was really good and more leadership opportunities would open up for me. thanks everyone for your input. It's hard for me to make these calls on my own. I'm definitely a go getter in terms of work, so it's hard for me to say "sorry I can't, I'm too pregnant".
Brought back my 24 hour collection. No protein. Yay! Blood work came back great. Midwife finally called back. I'm on bed rest till the midwife calls me tomorrow morning. I have to go in for a more accurate dating ultrasound now though. Apparently some of babies measurements are 39 weeks and some are 37 so they just want to get a better gauge of where I am so the midwife can adjust the due date if needed since I'm technically a little under 36.
Other than that though they said it just looks like pregnancy induced hypertension.
Waiting for discharge notes now and then I can FINALLY go home after 5 and a half hours of waiting.
Just realized today that I'm going to miss the annual ren faire trip this year because I'm way too far along to enjoy *that* much walking, and at less than five weeks to go now it's probably not a good idea anyway, because this is Texas and it's already pretty warm during the day out here. So much for stocking up on all the incense and getting my hair done in a really epic braid that I could never hope to achieve on my own.
At least I still get to use that one Justin Timberlake gif every time someone texts me and asks "what's ur ddate?" again.
Seriously, how hard is it for people to NOT comment on the Birth Announcements board????? /endrant
Maybe you can change the title of the board to reflect the rule? Like, "May Birth Announcement Thread--Do not comment unless to announce birth!"
People are just excited, and if they've ever clicked on the thread before it won't make them read the rules post again. If it's in the title, maybe they'll remember more easily. Perhaps.

There's a certain new person that showed up last week on the board that I wanted to go away, but their posts are so random, that I actually find them entertaining now. I can't even believe it's a real person. It's how I imagine I'd post if I were drunk while pregnant.

You need to PM me to tell me who. I think we are thinking of the same person.
So the time finally came for me to inform my boss of my plan to fully transition out and leave my job before this baby comes. I thought I'd feel more relief but there is a lot going on with our team right now so I mostly just feel awkward. We haven't set my last day yet but it is going to be a longer transition. I'm still glad I did it and know it's best for me and my family but I'm selfishly looking forward to when it can just be over now.... The End .. of my dear diary post.

I get to go back to school today! Or tomorrow... not sure yet, still waiting on the on call midwife to call me back. But they want me to go in for a higher level sizing scan to pinpoint my due date better since it could be moved up as far as 3 weeks depending on what they see today. And it just so happens the outpatient clinic is at my old college - they have a lot of medical research facilities so it makes sense. Yay for horrendous parking and college students! But at least I get to see baby again I guess.

I think I know exactly who you are talking about.

Whenever I see posts like this I wonder, "is it me...." ?! No but seriously is it me? I've been around since the beginning but have increased my bump time in the last week or so. I feel drunk sometimes because I'm so sleepy so it's not outside the realm of possibility

@lionstigersbears I don't think it's you, I think maybe it's me. But regardless of who it is, is it really right to have this kinda bitchy commenting going on... 1 this is for supposedly mature women 2 we are all about to have babies, which is supposed to be happy.... Why try and make SOMEONE FEEL LIKE SH*t???? Cyber bullying much??????
I don't think that most people posting on the May arrival thread usually come back and see Mslam's msgs. I find the repeated don't post on this thread message just as annoying because when I see two new notifications I'm hoping at least one is a birth not another don't post anything on the thread announcement. Personally I think it's fighting a loosing battle. People will post things and I agree with letting it go!
