WTF Wednesday 5.18.16

Let's hear your rant of the week!

Why is showering so hard already?! I woke up feeling fine, hopped in the shower, and now I'm exhausted and hot and dizzy. My shower wasn't even that hot! I'm currently laying on the bed in my underwear trying to cool down. My friends are coming over in 30 minutes. Blah

Wtf wardrobe?! I am hating all of my clothes lately. Not big enough for maternity but everything makes me feel gross and fat. Today I opted for all black but ended up having to put on a gray suit jacket this morning for work purposes. I feel like I look hideous. Why can't I just wear yoga pants all day. Why?!

WTF post office! I have to pay to fix YOUR broken mailbox!? WTF!? My lock is frozen because one of the tumblers broke, and I have to shell out $25 in order for you to fix/replace it!? How the heck does that make any sense!? Fix your own crap on your own dime, not mine!

Today is super cloudy, I'm a crab, I can't poop like a normal adult, eggs smell like farts, I feel like a bloated tick, I dont know what to do about swimsuits this year, and I need to desperately shave my legs before I set myself on fire from the friction.

That feels better.
Almost.

*goes back into crab hole*

I feel like I already need to start wearing maternity pants because the bloat is sooooo bad! The pants I wore to work today, I had to leave the top button undone just so I can be comfortable.. Ugh and now my lower back is killing me, it hurts to lean forward it hurts to lean back, it hurts no matter what I do... I wish it was Friday 3:00pm...

Ugh pregnancy life...

I can not get my bowels under control...i do not remember it being this bad with my first, ugh. wtf. also, my poor husband hasn't gotten laid in weeks because i either am so constipated it hurts or i can't get off the toilet..

WTF spotting. I was so proud of myself for not calling the Dr yesterday morning when I had a some brown spotting (this has been a thing during my pregnancy...a really scary thing when it happened at 5 wks accompanied by plateauing/dropping hcg, but then we saw a heartbeat a week later, so we've been cautiously optimistic). Then this morning there is a (TMI alert) brown stringy clot the size of a nickel. I call the Dr, and they tell me it's only a big deal if it's bright red. Ok, that's great news, but I'd really love it to stop now.

I also can't poop, @dmontgo. WTF.  Time to buy more prunes.

WTF ears. I needed to clean my ears last night, so I poured hydrogen peroxide in them one by one per my doctor's orders. Well, the peroxide doesn't seem to want to fully exit my right ear. So now I'm hearing worse than I was before. Everything online says it should come out on its own in a few days and just to see a doctor if it hurts. I really don't feel like dealing with this for several days It's not making vertigo any more manageable.

@Amdogger82 @dmontgo and anyone I missed that is having issues pooping. COLACE it helps soo much. You might want to stock up for 3rd tri when there will be issues again.

My WTF is my class averages on the final. You had 3 days of studying in class, had a take home review, and got to use a 4x6 notecard - both sides, and you still failed. I guess they just really want to attend summer school.

DiFazette

@Kate08Young - that for sure is a big WTF!  You had permission to 'cheat' and still fail?  

dmontgo

@Kate08Young I've been taking 2 Colace a night before bed, and it still doesn't help. I know I'm getting plenty of fiber, so I don't know what's going on with that. The only thing that helps is having a soda. >. <

cgss11

Colace didn't do anything for me either. Now that I'm 10 weeks, it's gotten a little better. Not back to normal, but better.

phoenix870509

@dmontgo it'll happen when you're least expecting it. I've been so constipated for the past 3 and a half weeks, nothing helped. Suddenly yesterday I started running to the bathroom every hour because I had to poop! It's happening today, too. DH says it's because I'm so full of s*#% (he thinks he's such a comedian...)

PrettyPalomino

Haven't pooped since I don't know when, maybe Monday, debating chugging back a coffee or two... junk food/greasy food used to do the trick, no chance anymore! This cannot be good for me.

dmontgo

@phoenix870509 See, that's just my luck. I'll be having an important conversation or trying to look cute, then my ass will explode. Nice.

I'm also a member of the constipation nation. In the past, Miralax has worked way better than Colace so I might try that. Only problem is you have to drink it in water and the thought makes me want to vomit.

Ugh. Super ms today. The smells in the office were making me sicker so I went to get some air. Ended up having that "you are gonna puke" realization and frantically looked for a trash can but decided to Chance it and sprint to a restroom in the store across the street. Couldn't stop barfing so the sent someone in and I squeaked "I'm just pregnant" 
this is different than last time. Not worse but different. Maybe that means it will end after 1st tri this time?!?!

i didn't used to have a fear of barfing in public. Now I definitely do

Christinaruth74

WTF passive aggressive mom? She never came to watch DD yesterday but said she would come today (it probably helped that I told her we had a Mothers Day gift waiting for her here..) anyway, I get home from work and after she leaves I realize she threw away a bouquet of flowers that she gave me a couple of weeks ago.. Like, just up and removed them from the vase and tossed 'em in the trash. She replaced them with another small bouquet I had sitting on the table that I still hadn't opened. She has these odd, manipulatively self-deprecating ways and this definitely falls into that. Who throws away the flowers they bought for someone else?!? 

Christinaruth74

@LinziLoo09 definitely see a dr if it starts to hurt! I had a similar experience, but wound up with an infected ear drum. It was soooo painful. I haven't done a peroxide cleanse since because I'm too scared I'm going to eff it up again. 

LinziLoo09

Thanks @Christinaruth74 ! My dad is a doctor, and he's going to flush the ear out later today and prescribed me some drops for it. Hopefully I'll get some relief soon!

I'm supposed to get my genetic testing results today but my OB's receptionist is off today!  Another sleepless night ahead

For the constipation, my doc told me to take milk of magnesia.  I had half a little tumbler of it and I was on the toilet in 30 minutes.  I've been much more regular ever since.  I'll keep the bottle for if I ever get super bad again - but it worked like whoa.  I'm kind of scared of it now.

cjt121413  mix the miralax in fruit juice or Gatorade. let it dissolve for a full 5 minutes.  brand name is flavorless, the generic has a salty aftertaste.
I lived on miralax in 3rd tri last time.  i'm probably going to have to start back on it, my constipation is bad and I have a history of <ahem> issues that I don't want further aggravated by straining.

My WTF goes to my dog. It's pouring raining outside right now and all he wants to do is come in and out his doggy door, over and over, drenching the kitchen. He is such a butthole.
