WTF mood swings, you want to start now? And a special WTF to this bloating for only allowing me to fit into one pair of pants this morning, thanks for making me cry.
@cagirl18 the bloating is the worst. I'm not ashamed to admit that I bought a pair of maternity work pants yesterday. Not the full panel, just the ones with a side panel. I got tired of my work pants digging into my stomach all day long. Best decision ever. I thought about just buying a Bellaband but I worried about the button digging into my stomach.

Way I see it, my clothing doesn't care if it's belly or bloat so I might as well wear the maternity stuff as soon as it is more comfortable.

@KilgraveMadeMeDoIt thats exactly what I was thinking. I'm going to need to buy maternity pants sooner or later, so why not now? My belly feels amazing today!

WTF queasiness, you can go away now. This is awful. Nothing sounds edible, but if I don't eat it's worse. I have a weird taste in my mouth all the time, so nothing tastes right, and textures bug me too (even bread on a sandwich) so all in all, I'm basically just a big lump of pathetic wuss. My 2yo is not impressed.
Ugh, a week or so I felt SO bloated and mentioned it to H and he gave me major side eye. It's better now but I still find myself unbuttoning my jeans while driving or sitting for long periods!
WTF pregnancy nerves (and mommy nerves). I still feel on edge from yesterday. My 4 year old decided he wanted to try to fly and ended up breaking his arm. He was great in the ER and has been good about following the doctor's directions. I can't help but feel like I need to hover and he's "mom. I'm fine."
WTF spouse! We've known I'm pregnant for a WEEK. We've gone from settled 6 year plans (that incorporated a potential baby) to OMGWTFBBQ - I must quit my job in the city, move us cross-country and live somewhere with NONE of the things we identified as important to our quality of life.
Hello, free-floating anxiety! At least this time it isn't mine!
WTF acne?! Aren't all these extra hormones supposed to focus on the tiny being growing inside of me? Why must I come back from a 3 hour meeting to 4 new zits?!
Wtf bleeding are you trying to give me an ACTUAL heartattack?! Just to find out the doctor says it's cuz I'm constipated?? Thanking my lucky stars that's all the spotting was!!!!
WTF to a sore throat. Great, I can feel a cold coming on and I'm tired enough as it is.
@jarethinafrock $93 for prenatals is ridic. Do you live in a state that has a Meijer? I heard they give prenatals for free at the pharmacy. Once I run out of mine I'll probably check it out... because free.
WTF ALL THE WAITING. I am SO not a patient person. The wait until the 1st ultrasound and then until the first trimester testing is the hardest in my opinion! Other than when you are overdue . Excuse me while I go drink some calming tea or something.
Me: 1979 * Husband: 1976 * Little girl: 2010 * Little guy: 2013 * MMC: 2016 * Last baby: EDD 2/11/17!
WTF my job. My super nose had to go on a call today to a decomposing body...in a bath tub none the less. The smell never bothered me...until today. I wanted to lose my dinner. Please no more tonight. I reached my dead people smell limit.
WTF work? Stop over-booking me. And when I send you a message saying that I think we need to ease up on my schedule a little, don't reply that maybe we should change my 12-hour shifts. I need those!
WTF Husband. When the dog is scratching at the door at 11pm let her outside. Don't get up, assume she is scratching for no reason and go back to bed. Because then at 12 my super nose wakes me up to the smell of poop and of course the pregnant, nauseous, super nose is the one cleaning up the poop in the middle of the night. And now I can't fall back asleep, and Im cramping again. I felt like hitting him with the pillow for sleeping through me cleaning up crap.
WTF, husband?! YEARS I nag him to get a sleep study done because he has sleep apnoea. He dragged his feet. Put my foot down in January after a month of barely sleeping because his snoring was so bad I didn't sleep for days at a time and he finally got his bloody study, an OSA diagnosis, and a CPAP.
Now it's so quiet - just a soft whoosh-whish of the machine - that I can't sleep.

eta: spelling is hard.
Unfortunately we don't have a Meijer - free is always nice! I ended up getting something for $33/month not covered by insurance. Might just end up doing over the counter though.
Wtf exhaustion. I have shit to do. Stop getting in my way.
@jarethinafrock this may be a UO but I don't think you really need the prescription prenatals. I use rainbow light prenatal one which is over the counter. They are higher quality than the generic drug store brands and you can get them in a health food store or online. My doc gave me the thumbs up on them. They are around 20 bucks for 150 pills.

Love tit because he's getting better! Maybe you need a white noise machine? Or a pink noise machine I guess is even better.
@jarethinafrock I'm going through the same issue! The first one mailed to me was around $130 and I asked the Dr to switch me to another and it was even higher. After calling into escripts who my insurane wants me to go through I came to the conclusion to see what I can get over the counter.
Thanks for your input on the prenatals, ladies. I am going to ask my doctor at my appointment on the 30th what she thinks about me just using OTC. I'm sure she probably assumes that prescribed prenatals are covered by my plan and therefore are cheaper than anything I can get OTC.
