Things you're not looking forward to?

BamBam510 · October 2009

I've been lurking a lot on third trimester just to see all the new baby announcements etc. and there are a lot of posts saying how sick of being asked/called by people asking if the baby is here yet, and being told the baby needs to come now even though they are not due yet etc. And of course all sorts of rude comments from people they hardly know.

I think I'm dreading my MIL most, I picture her being that type that calls and asks if we've had the baby yet and it'll be like "really, you don't think we'd call the baby's grandmother when I'm in labor" I can see it now!! I'm in customer service, but I don't picture my customers doing/saying anything rude, but you never know! How about you guys?

I'm not dreading anything.

We've been through so much trying to get pregnant I'll gladly take every obnoxious comment and inappropriate belly touch over the alternative.

I'm looking forward to the calls. I'll be home by myself, so I'm sure boredom will make me want to talk to those I would normally avoid.

Only thing I?m not looking forward to is the hemroids, stretch marks, and maybe pooping on the table during the birth.

But I will take every bit of it if I get a baby in my arms in 7 months.

I completely agree with you on that one. those exact things are my fears... plus an apisiotomy! eek.

Seriously, the roughest part of pregnancy (for me) was the 1st trimester. Everyone said it got worse, but it didn't. For me, I am NOT looking forward to morning sickness. I haven't gotten it yet, but I know I'm not out of the woods yet either. I am so nervous/upset about potentially having to throw up at work. The only other thing I'm not looking forward to is all the *advice* I will probably get from some of my customers. I work at a tanning salon/fitness center and the old ladies who come to work-out will probably have a lot of stupid things to tell me.

I read something about pooping on the delivery table. Yeah... not looking forward to that.

Hmm, I think the only thing I dread is the possibility of tearing badly during labor or having horrible horrible hemorrhoids afterward, haha. That being said, my recovery after having a Bartholin gland removed in Oct of 2007 involved three to four weeks of bedrest, sitz baths, and ice packs so it can't be too much worse than that. (I say this hopefully, but I am probably wrong, haha.)

Oh, girls- you won't even care about pooping on the table or any of that other stuff during labor. You'd do anything to get that baby out! I have no clue if I pooped on the table with #1. I think I asked DH once and he said no, but who knows if he was telling the truth. Whatever...I delivered a 9.5lb baby, so I could care less what it took for me to get him out!

The only thing I'm not looking forward too is the hormones that make you not feel like yourself. I remember in 3rd tri, I couldn't wait to have the baby just so I could act "normal" again.

I didn't mind the calls and text to see if I had delivered yet. They were just anxious to meet the baby and wanted to make sure I was feeling okay. Like I mentioned above, I think part of the annoyance of the phone calls is just the hormones that make you not feel like yourself.

That's just weird. No one said anything like that to me last time. That's one of those complaints I used to just roll my eyes at. People are excited and ask you a lot of questions when you're pregnant. The way I see it, it's the last time anyone's going to care about you. After that it's all about the baby :-)

Tearing during labor. My father-in-law running in to hog the baby and coddle over me.

When I had knee surgery, he took the day off work to be at the hospital. Whenever the surgeon came out to update them on the surgery, my father-in-law would stand in front of my husband so the surgeon would be addressing him. When I came out of surgery, he pushed my husband out of the way and was running down the post op room to get to me before anyone else. I can't imagine what he'll be like when I have his grandbaby.?

Dang! Someone needs to talk to your FIL and put him in his place! That would drive me nuts!

I love this I'm so excited for you!

I'm just scared of another episiotomy/tear. I had a 3rd degree episiotomy with my first and it took forever to heal, couldn't walk or go up stairs, etc. This time a midwife is delivering me so hopefully it will go better!

haha this EXACTLY!!

I had some major blood pressure issues at the end of last pregnancy and I'm dreading that again. Its just a stress, and I was so so swollen I could barely wear shoes. I'm hoping I avoid that this time. It was just a worry!
