WTF Wednesday

becausescience

What/who is making you say WTF today?  this week?  whenever really.  Let it all out.

megpeg

I don't love my OB's personality so I asked to switch within the practice- she's cold and not overly friendly. I got a call this morning telling me no because she could end up delivering the baby and if I wanted to switch I would have to leave the practice. I will switch to the midwife as soon as I can anyway but WTF? I will see if she has changed since I had my daughter otherwise I may switch.

becausescience

Can I WTF DD who has learned how to stand in her crib but can't get down so cries until I come help her? You're supposed to be napping! 

Unrelated... anybody have any teething guards they recommend for the crib rail? 

muggle621

WTF to our french bulldog Turk who breaks my heart every morning with his facial expressions as I walk out the door to go to work. Makes me feel like a bad dog mom!

riansmommie

@muggle621 we have a frenchie named Tyrion! They do have such sad puppy dog faces when you leave, mine does it to.

my WTF is to my body! I'm starving but any food I try to eat tastes like I'm chewing on a bar of soap and makes my nausea worse than it already is. So WTF body, make up your mind!

ivfgotthistwice

My WTF is to symptoms. I haven't had any yesterday or today so my brain wants to think the worst. 

@megpeg that is super annoying. You should be able to switch if you want! 

notthefather

Same here @ivfgotthistwice! I felt horrible all day Sunday and Sunday night then sick just at night on Monday. I have nothing going on (except super sore boobs) since Monday night. Logically, I know it's normal but I can't help but worry. 
@megpeg : That does seem odd... My OB has next to no bedside manner but he's a fantastic doctor and exactly the person I'd want in the room with me if something were to go wrong so I look past it.
@riansmommie : That is so frustrating! I hope you are able to eat and enjoy food soon. Maybe it's just a matter of finding the right food for you.

My WTF is myself. I am having a really hard time concentrating at work. No matter how much I have going on, I just can't seem to get my head in it.

Wtf to myself.   I'm a huge coffee addict/lover, but since becoming pregnant, I just am not drinking it as much.   It tastes fine and I'm not nauseous, but for some reason I just feel like my burning desire to caffeinate myself is gone. I just don't want it?  I can't even make it through a 12 oz cup.  

muggle621

@riansmommie I love that name!!! I hope they start a Fur Babies thread on this board so we can share pics of our pets! 

notthefather

same here @jeanbean15: I have zero desire for coffee anymore! I could drink it if I wanted to, I just don't want to. 

deleted22152218

@notthefather It's just so weird for me because I've been drinking coffee for years. Drinking coffee is my entire morning routine!  I've refilled my cup 3 times this morning because it keeps sitting there going cold 

megpeg

@notthefather I have no idea what she will be like in the birthing room with me but one of my coworkers had her and didn't have good things to say. Like I said I will switch to the midwife around 20weeks and she is who delivered me last time. Since she knows I wanted to switch and why I am hoping her personality will change.

notthefather

I don't blame you at all @megpeg! If there wasn't a trade off with mine I would have left a long time ago. I hope for her other patients' sake she learns something about herself from this though.

citygirl17

My WTF is to my lack of symptoms today.  I had some slight cramping last night but no spotting and woke up this morning feeling great with no symptoms.  It's scary.  I really could use some reassurance but my second WTF goes to my OB practice who informed me that their "regulations have changed" and they now don't see patients for the first time until between 9-11 weeks.  And I have to wait another week and a half before my phone appointment with the nurse.  With my loss last year and other medical history I'm a little surprised they still don't want to see me a bit sooner.  I'm going a little crazy without any real information to go on except one HCG to be reassured that everything is ok.

WTF how is it only Wednesday this week has been FOREVER.

My symptoms are a little different than early last time, so that's got my brain going, but I definitely have the slightly nauseas/woozy/hungover feeling from early days last time, so that's comforting.

GeekBeagle

Feeling you on the work motivation, @notthefather.

@citygirl17 Also basically no symptoms here, and not being seen until 10 weeks. And my nurse call is at 9 weeks. I hate having to wait!

JournoGrl23

My WTF is to my sudden loss of appetite. I haven't really had symptoms so far, but suddenly today I just can't eat anything. I really need the calories right now, too, because I'm BFing my 11-month-old who really needs it. I guess I need to force myself to eat. I'm starting to feel a little queasy, too, but that makes me feel better since I wasn't having any before. Still not actual MS, but slightly queasy.

I have a second one, which is why is this week going by so slow?! I want it to be Monday already so I can have my first u/s.

KristinUM12

@becausescience I am having the same problem with DS. He stands up the second I put him in the crib. And if he does fall asleep, it's only for like 20 minutes.

arhodes6

@riansmommie I love the name! We have a red haired Golden named Sansa  

I second everyone who is experiencing "no symptom anxiety". It's so scary to not have symptoms one day because it's the only thing that makes me feel pregnant. If only we could feel baby kick at this point to ease our worries. 

My WTF is to the Denver housing market. We are under contract on our house but are having a hard time finding a house for ourselves!! If something goes up for sale, it is usually gone before we can go see if or there is a bidding war. I REALLY don't want to have to move into my inlaws house while we look....

mamaloba816

@becausescience I have a fabric crib rail cover that I ordered from Amazon. It velcros on and has been fine so far. 

@notthefather I'm in a similar boat with work. I can't focus one bit.

My WTF is this week. It's going So. Slow. Over and over today, I've been thinking it's Thursday. 

jerseygirl9090

WTF on how hungry I am! I can't stop eating! I'm trying to keep it healthy and I still go on my runs everyday to keep my weight in check. 

becausescience

@KristinUM12 Glad to know I'm not alone. 

@mamaloba816 I did a little research and think I'm going to try my hand at sewing my own fabric cover as the plastic ones got poor reviews. Well see how it goes. 

HappyMonkey817

My WTF is that my belly is so hugely bloated all of a sudden. I look about 4 months along. :-/

strawb3rrymomma

WTF how do I get a signature on this site? I love the tickers everyone has and can't figure it out.

EDIT: I used the ticker tool on TB and made one, but when I put it in my signature it says images are not allowed. I just get a URL string of code.

pumpkinpancake

@becausescience when my DS started chewing on his crib, we looked for crib rail guards, but I didn't love that most of the ones online were some form of polyester. We ended up DIY-ing our own by taking some cotton crib sheets that we weren't using anymore, and cutting/sewing them around the top edges of the crib, so that he wasn't eating the paint anymore. It certainly wasn't pretty, but it did the trick. 

mdfarmchick

@jeanbean13, @notthefather coffee has lost all appeal and I'm super sad. 

My WTF today is this weird nausea feeling that I've had for over 24 hours. It's crap. And food is not appealing at all. 

ishmoney

@mommaredlace there is a technical issue.  I emailed Mon and they are supposedly working on it.

So, WTF, TB!  I need my ticker!!

Edit: may as well change that to a wtf

vflux33

@JournoGrl23 @mdfarmchick Yes! I think I am heading into MS but don't have it full on yet. I usually have a super healthy salad with baked chicken for lunch and today just looking at it and smelling made me gag. I'm also craving Doritos, which I don't think I've had since I was 12.

**TW**

I had a loss several months back. My morning started out with a friend texting me as follows: "Hey, how have you been? I keep thinking about how you would be 8 weeks by now and feel sad. I just wanted to tell you I'm thinking of you." WTFFF. And her calculations weren't even correct. Would this enrage any of you or am I losing it? 

becausescience

@i_mean_really WTAF is wrong with your friend. Middle sentence not necessary. 

i_mean_really

@becausescience  right??? like i'm sorry you feel sad about MY loss... and thanks for the random reminder of how old my child would have been first thing in the freakin morning. PS - i love your username.

becausescience

@i_mean_really I'd probably say something about thanks for reaching out, I'm doing..., I'd rather not talk about my loss unless I bring it up if that's ok, thx. And thanks! Your sn is pretty great too. 

kiki75

@megpeg Nice standard of care. You can have this one or you can piss off? Okay. Sold! I would think that most places would be glad to try to match people and personalities. That would be one of my goals in selecting providers. Who is technically awesome and fits with the personality type we're looking to match? I mean, it's fair to tell you that it's possible you would get her for delivery and ask if you still wanted to switch or if that would be awkward for you but it should be an option. 

@ivfgothistwice @citygirl17 I ended up emailing the nurse at the RE's office because I was having a freakout. She assured me again that it's completely normal for symptoms to come and go or to never have had them at all. 

@arhodes6 If only baby had legs with which to kick! Maybe tail whips? 


@i_mean_really Ugh. I'd give her a pass for effort, clumsy and bumbling as it may be. You just really don't get it unless you've been there. At least she's trying. I still have a hard spot against BIL & SIL who never once asked how I was doing and they knew. Which is why they're on the list of not finding out until later.

citygirl17

@GeekBeagle I'll be 9 weeks, 6 days when I'm seen.  Cruel, cruel torture.  That's four more weeks from tomorrow!  My nurse call is a bit better at 7 weeks, 3 days.  I know I can call at any time if I have any real concerns but still.  It wasn't this late with my last two pregnancies.

@kiki75 I've been told the same but I just know I won't be able to completely relax until I have some more concrete information.  Don't they know stress isn't good for us preggies?

chasingroygbiv

My WTF is that my symptoms need to make up their mind. The last 2 days I was feeling good and PGAL aside, I was staying calm. Tonight I feel soooo icky. It's 6:20 and I've yet to decide what to feed my poor family because everything is nauseating to think about. And I mean everything. Also, dance uniforms. My daughter is not even school age and her uniform is almost $100. WTAF? If people would stop paying it they wouldn't jack it up, but people pay it. Stop paying that kind of price, guys, I don't want to pay it! 

pghctwife

Wtf car. My car is paid off and worth basically nothing. It literally is held together with duct tape. I will need a new car come march (minivan wooooo) but really hoping to avoid a car payment till closer to that. Need a new exhaust pipe or something bc my muffler is practically rubbing the ground, and that is $700 our car really doesn't deserve lol.

barrelocarol

My wtf is my weird, overcompensating or whatever thoughts. 

Had hazelnut gelato yesterday. It was DELICIOUS, but I threw it up. As I was vomiting, I thought "oh, this is kind of good tasting coming back up" then I was thinking about stuff like that while throwing up. 

It was like the weirdest meditation ever and made me wonder "what the eff is going on in my head?"

paigew123

My wtf is my hormones! Had to run outta work today for 15 mins cuz I was about to burst into tears for no sane reason! 

Also wtf DS! I love you, but listening to you cry every night at bed time for way too long is exhausting! Why can't you just go back to your reg schedule??

fullofhope25

My wtf is directed toward myself. Why can't I just enjoy this!? Why am I thinking of a million things to worry about, including, today's newest concern: "is this a viable pregnancy!?" 

I am getting so mad at myself for being such a constant worry wart, because I am taking the excitement and joy out of this AND I do not want to invite negative energy 

mamaloba816

@becausescience, my best friend made hers and it looks great! She just secured it with ties. The only thing about that is both our babies know how to untie them easily. Hers is 8 months old and mine is 10 months old. I'm sure they'll figure the velcro out at some point too, but so far, so good.
