Monday Bitchfest 2/14

Yes, it's Valentine's Day, so most of us are likely focusing on the positive rather than the negative, but nonetheless, if you need to rant/vent/bitch this week, here's the thread for you!

We have a potluck at work. They set the table up by my door. I’ve had to smell food cook in crockpots all day. Gross.

Hit 10 weeks on the nose and actually am dealing with morning sickness today. Waited too long to eat this AM and now I just feel off, even after eating. Boo. I have no right to complain, I know everyone else has had this for months but it still sucks haha. 

Happy Valentine’s Day though, ladies!

@laj0217 I hate the smell of a crock pot cooking all day long.

Same. Are you staying well-hydrated? That helps a bit.

@trapperkeeper87 I feel like I am. I am prone to migraines and so I think I am just being extra triggered. I also haven't had much caffeine since coffee is not currently my favorite. I really hate drinking soda but did get  a pack of mini Cokes to sip in the late afternoon when I feel like crashing and my head starts hurting.

@mamamoomoo12 same. The headaches are so bad lately! I just keep reminding myself it’s a good thing, but it’s hard for sure.

i am so overwhelmed today thinking about the amount of things to figure out, schedule, plan…like I just had my first ultrasound appointment last week which with waiting time, commute time etc took three hours in a work day…now I planned a blood test appointment for this week which should take about an hour…just spent time figuring out how to buy maternity clothes…and there are so many appointments and logistics to figure out! And so much of this falls on the pregnant woman! Like my boyfriend is very willing to be helpful and supportive but he can’t go and take my blood test for me 😂😂

@mamamoomoo12 I know you're doing it for headaches, but those little mini coke cans helped me so much with morning sickness with my first pregnancy. I would just sip on one at my desk each morning and it seemed to ease my stomach.

I know it’s not Monday anymore but I need to vent somewhere. Ugh what a freaking morning! Today was my NT scan, I accidentally went to the wrong hospital! 😩 (this was the appointment where they wanted to schedule me an hour away and then eventually squeezed me in to a nearby hospital but it still wasn’t my normal MFM where I typically go, so I forgot and went to my normal one instead.) I called immediately and they were like ok just come to the correct office right now so I did right away but they are about 15-20 mins apart from each other. Then of course there was freaking roadwork going on on the way!!! By the time I arrived, I was 21 minutes late and they refused to see me for my ultrasound. They said all they could do was reschedule me for Friday at the location that was an hour away! Well today is literally my nanny’s last day with us (she quit to take a full time job with benefits) and so I wouldn’t have child care on Friday and also just didn’t want to go to the far away location to begin with! I literally broke down in tears in the middle of the office until they thankfully were able to squeeze me in at 3 pm today. My nanny agreed to stay late so I guess it all has worked out but ugh, today is not my day! Bless you if you read all that and got to the end lol.

@theblondebump Oh, no! How stressful. But I’m glad that they can squeeze you in. ❤️

@theblondebump My goodness. When it rains, it pours. It sounds like you have some good news due to you soon!

@theblondebump that's awful I'm so sorry. I'm glad they finally gave in. It's a wonder what tears can get us. 

blanket_girl

@theblondebump there is absolutely no shame in crying after a morning like that!! I’m glad they were able to fit you in, it would have been awful to wait all of those extra days and to have to travel that far 

theblondebump

After all that, I got to the ultrasound this afternoon (finally!!) and after they did the ultrasound, they said the doctor had to go tend to an emergency and couldn’t come discuss the ultrasound with me or sign off on the blood work for the NIPT. I was supposed to do the NIPT right at the appointment and the nurse said I’d have to come back another day. 

Soooo if I’m 20 mins late, they will cancel my appointment but somehow they can just stop my appointment in the middle and tell me to come back another day?! I was not pleased. 

Eventually, they said the doctor could fax over the slip for the blood test and I was able to get it done but sheesh! What a day! 

Thankfully, all was good on the ultrasound (I think), doctor will call me …at some point when she has time apparently lol. 

trapperkeeper87

@theblondebump On the flip side, it's nice to know your doctor takes emergencies seriously.

theblondebump

@trapperkeeper87 it’s not my doctor, just a random doctor at the Maternal Fetal Medicine office that just comes in and interprets ultrasounds. 

wiseh

What an ordeal @theblondebump! I would definitely have cried too 😩

We live with my in laws, which I actually love. But if my MIL complains one more time about have a "bad" night sleep and feeling off because she's tired, I might freak out. 

mwes

omg. NOOOOO

This is such a first world problem, but one of my favorite body washes now smells like the primary ingredient is neroli. Even though it doesn't have any naroli in it. The problem is that naroli smells like used tampons to me. Big boo.
