It might be a bit premature for me to hand out my wtf awards this early in the day, but I'm going to any ways. SO forgot to open the basement door last night, which is where the litter boxes are. Kitty of course used the main floor as her toilet.... but only one room. And that of course was the baby's room. Guess who will be steam cleaning the carpets (not me)?!
I'm 5 days more pregnant than I ever was with DS. I think my WTF goes to me as I'm realizing how much I did not expect to actually make it to my due date (Friday). And my prelabor contractions have really chilled out. I feel like I'm just not going to go into labor. My ab split is getting worse by the day
Induction? Again? Seriously universe? Can't I just go into labor on my own? Nope, scheduling an induction today for hopefully the 20th. Yeesh.
@ajstevenson my DH also had a moment with our animals last night when I had just put our DS to bed and he tells the dogs to "Go get the squirrel" so of course our 85 pound wonder mutt leaps off the couch and smashes into the wall, barks, and runs to the outside door to go get the squirrel. Dh's response? "Uhh that was loud." and cue DS waking up because he'd barely been asleep. Ugh!
My WTF is that I can't open the birth announcements thread any longer without my phone freaking out due to the pictures and thread size already. This is a real problem for me!
@DiFazette yes! this is a huge problem, it basically shuts my computer down
I know my due date is not until sunday but I, like @slartybartfast didn't think I would still be pregnant since DD2 came at 38 weeks. my whole body hurts today. and all I want to do is get in the shower and my MIL scheduled the plumber to come out this morning. ugh. yes, it's nice that she scheduled the inspection/maintenance but of course he shows up when I want to use all the water.
I have two at the moment. I may have more as the day progresses.
First WTF Dh, you are 2.5 hours away a week before my due date and when we talked last night you did not tell me that your phone wasn't charging. So when I call you later and it's off 39 week prego lady freaks out. Not cool.
My second goes to my step sister. She is so immersed in a relationship with a guy who doesn't even like kids that's she's pretty much ignoring her own kid. Poor kid already doesn't have his dad in his life and now she's pulling this. He wants to live with my step mom and my Dad. She can't even get past her own selfishness to see what she is doing to her child. It breaks my heart.

My husband slept through my academy award winning worthy vomit performance last night. Exorcism style started around 8:00 pm and went through 4:00 am. He did not once hear me. As if being 39 weeks pregnant is not miserable enough, add first laxative induced BMs starting at noon and then vomiting through 4 the next morning. Because I am able to produce urine, I do not need to go to L&D according to my OB, but goodness, I am exhausted and thirsty. But if I drink more than a sip every 5 minutes, I am rushing to the bathroom again. So here I am at work with my arsenal of liquids to sip on through a few hours until I feel like I've thoroughly finished yelling at our phone company for messing things up and then I will go home and sleep.
@slartybartfast is it time for us to do some voodoo magic to send you into labor?
I'm going to be honest, I've got an entire WTF tree filled with ripe WTFs just waiting to be picked. So many WTFs that I don't know what to do with them!
My goodness I am so damn crabby this week! WTF to my anxiety - I usually don't have a problem talking myself out of anxious feelings, but this week is something else. My due date was Monday and I've not had many, if any, labor signs. DH travels for work and is planning on being gone his normal Wednesday morning - Friday night. This makes me nervous since we're are officially overdue. My mother & sister both had quick labors & I just keep thinking of how devastated both of us would be if it all of the sudden happens and he can't make it back in time. I talked to him about possibly taking Friday off so he'll never be more than 5 hours away (he's 8 away from Thus-Fri), but he wants to wait and see how my weekly appointment goes and if doc thinks I'll go soon. He's self-employed in the auction business and does not have any contracts, so his job is never guaranteed. He knows he'll take next week off (induction if necessary), so he's weary of taking Friday off if we don't go in. And here's the beginning of many more worries to come, I'm sure.
@yellingbanana I think some voodoo is in order for all of us overdue and about to be induced.
WTF to being indefinitely overdue and missing out on any family help. I'm 8 days overdue and counting. My parents set up shop here in a hotel for a few weeks to help us with a newborn - they live across the country- and their month is up this week, so looks like they won't even meet their grandchild until they can come back in 4 months. So shitty. DH and I have no family here since they all moved away a few years ago. My sister also told me she'd drive up a few hours for the birth and now she's having issues with transportation.
Also WTF to the NST yesterday that took 2 hours instead of 30 mins and the nurse who asked me extremely personal questions involving abuse and STDs in front of people during admission...um, I'm pretty sure there's a written form for that, dipshit. Not to mention state violations all over the place.
@SaraRose83 I feel you on the overdueness...but don't have the family situation to deal with on top of it. That has to be so disappointing that it hasn't worked out yet. But it still could! Hugs and sending labor vibes your way.
My WTF has to do with being overdue. I am scheduled to induce tomorrow and am having super weird cramps and awkwardness in the pelvic region. I am walking and cleaning and repacking bags and doing squats every 10 minutes and rolling on this damn ball when I am sitting...I only have today and tomorrow before 4 to go into labor on my own and WTF body to getting my hopes up a little and then nothing happens!
Wtf to my cats! They aren't exactly acting out, just being their a-hole selves. In the past 24 hours they've knocked over a case of flowers and puked on the new glider and our couch.
My WTF is also being overdue. I'm 41 weeks today, and I keep getting phases of crampiness and pelvic pain but just when they start to feel real, they fade out. I thought I was going to be better about trusting my body but instead I'm constantly freaking out over not going into labor. So WTF to myself, I guess.
My wtf is I'm overdue now officially too and have been having signs for the past two weeks. All day yesterday I felt horrible, then DH comes home from work and we go lay across the bed and talk about his day for a while and I had my head on his lap and then start getting really horrible shooting pains up my stomach that wrap around my back and halfway up it. I start getting cold chills, lost my appetite, not to mention the headache ive had on and off for over 4 days now and different/easier bm and pressure in my lady parts that felt like the baby was just gonna fall out and pressure on my butt. I thought maybe last night would have been the night. Hopefully today though because DH has to go to court tomorrow because of the motorcycle we bought and told them we had a baby on the way and too many bikers going down these days and we just don't want to ride with that so we told them to come get it and they never did so he stopped paying for it and now they're trying to take him to court for not paying after we said come get it over six months ago.
My WTF isn't a big deal at all...but my Dr clears c section patients to RUN at 2 weeks. Ab workouts at 4 weeks. Holy moly!
Meanwhile I still can't fit into my shoes haha.
Whaaa?!? At my 2wk follow-up yesterday I was given a hard 6 week mark. Only walking until then
Yeah he's crazy. At the hospital he said I can immediately start walking up to 3 miles a day...as of that afternoon! I'm just hoping to fit into my shoes at 2w pp! Then start walking. It'll probably be closer to 6 weeks before I attempt to run.
My last c section I had a strict 8 week wait for anything more than walking. Different doctors I guess have different opinions! But 2w is crazy!
I'm strongly debating about my own need for labor voodoo... Ideally, I'll go into labor at 6 am tomorrow morning a couple of hours before my induction... My doctor is actually on call tomorrow and I'd really like her to be the doctor that delivers me, but holy cow am I uncomfortable!
Fortunately for all you ladies, I've got my cat-shaking, labor voodoo kit right here! I've got Calicos...Russian Blues...Tabbies...and of course the Fancy Feast cat. BUT WAIT---there's more! If you go into labor in the next 24 hours, I'll also shake a mouse---FOR FREE! (just pay shipping and handling)
Anyone have any tried and true true tips for nipple pain? Diflucan, Lotramin AF and Apple cider vinegar have all failed. I can't use anything that hydrates because the yeast will thrive. HELP... this is my WTF, for 3 weeks running.
I will say that all the cat shaking y'all did made my labor super nonstressful. So continue to shake away!
my wtf isn't really a wtf. My mom went back home today, so DH and I are on our own officially now. Like wtf they are trusting me to take care of my own child. Wowwwwww.

This isn't a serious WTF. But I farted before the dr with steely-blue piercing eyes came back to check my cervix. I didn't realize it smelled until I went to sit back on the table so I was frantically fanning it away with the noisy, tissue paper lap cover while he waited on the other side of the door. I was pretty mortified. And then he gave me a play by play of what his fingers were about to do in my hoo-ha and I basically felt red-faced and 14 again.
@jptrumptone it IS possible!!! I am proof! And luckily you don't have to get on I405 to get to your hospital! Even with our good to go pass, I wanted to kill traffic when I was in labor.
@cayaylonglegs It's good to know the dead cat shaking is helpful, it shall continue!!! Lol! @dmontgo is truly the queen of voodoo magic. Though the beatboxing should just add to all the awesomeness of our voodoo magic club.
I have narrowed down my WTFs, I was going to complain about my DH, but he has been redeemed- he's out putting up our Christmas lights. I usually do it. So my chosen WTF is my c-section incision. It hurts. It's officially infected. And I hate it. Because it's my 3rd CS, it has folded over and it's disgusting. My healing process has been completely reset, I feel like I'm 1 day PP, not 7. It makes me more upset that the reason it got infected is because my staples were in too long. They were in too long because I didn't want to stay an extra day or two in the hospital to let the scar heal more. It didn't heal well because of the uterus torture they did to me because of the clotting issues I was having. Damn infection. I've had 2 perfect incisions before. WTF 3rd incision?!?! Why do you have to make me so miserable?!!!
My wtf is my boss doesn't seem to grasp tomorrow is my last day. There is no plan. My poor counterpart is about to lose her mind. We had a 2 hour meeting today where I explained to him after tomorrow I'm gone until January 9th. I still don't think he gets it.
Also WTF body. All these contractions, all these cervix ripping in two pains and I still haven't gone into labor!? I swear when I go in tomorrow I had better be dilated more than 3cm.

Anyone have any tried and true true tips for nipple pain? Diflucan, Lotramin AF and Apple cider vinegar have all failed. I can't use anything that hydrates because the yeast will thrive. HELP... this is my WTF, for 3 weeks running.
The only thing that helped mine is coconut oil. Started using it when this whole mastitis thing started up and they're now completely healed. I continue to apply prior to each pumping session
It's snowing, so DH took the AWD car...the car with the car seats. So I'm stuck at home. Oh and it's my birthday, but I'm stuck at home and can't go anywhere.

With L, 1st/only CS, I was cleared to drive myself home, and start working out/running as soon as I felt comfy with it.

I was pretty mortified. And then he gave me a play by play of what his fingers were about to do in my hoo-ha and I basically felt red-faced and 14 again.
I'm adding to the overdue WTF group. Granted, I am only overdue 1 day, but I am not feeling anything. No contractions, no pain, no back pain, barely any pressure in my pelvis, and it comes and goes. My baby is still bouncing around in my uterus having the time of her life. My OB already scheduled an induction for the 20th. I've tried walking around, but nada. I'm considering trying spicy foods, but since they generally tear up my stomach, I'm not looking forward to that. I even researched if riding around in a bouncy car would help. Anyone have any ideas? Not giving birth and having no labor symptoms is really making me grumpy.
It's snowing, so DH took the AWD car...the car with the car seats. So I'm stuck at home. Oh and it's my birthday, but I'm stuck at home and can't go anywhere.
Oh, well it's a good thing it's not a big birthday like your 30th.... oh wait, it is! Wtf?!?! I'm so sorry. Have yourself a glass of wine or something
@caffeinenut I would give you a list of all the things I'm trying but none of them are working apparently. Time to break out the breast pump. Total last resort.
It's not Wednesday anymore but my wtf goes to my younger sister that has been harassing me for days now. She calls everyday at least 6 times a day and then she started bothering DH today and I just really wish she would stop. I feel like a walking trash can at this point and she is not helping keep the stress to a minimum.
Not Wednesday, but...WTF Social Security Administration, can you not read? LO's SSN card came today and his name is misspelled. You know what I DON'T want to do when I'm less than 2 weeks postpartum? Deal with the f*ing Social Security Administration.
@gowenc FI's last name was misspelled on his SS card until just a few years ago. Don't stress too much about. Take care of you. SS can wait. Maybe not 20-some years...but you get the point.
