2nd Trimester
I got vaxed and now...
... my arm hurts and I'm reaaaaalllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy tired. 
I think I should get some sort of reward for the momentus feat of strength required for me to even post this half-a$$ thread.
Anybody got any cupcakes? 
I prefer red velvet, but yellow cake will do. Easy on the icing there, buddy. I got yelled at by Dr. B!tch today 'cause I've gained 2 pounds since my last appointment (bringing me to a whopping negative 18 pound weight gain, I might add).
Good Lord.

Re: I got vaxed and now...
is this ok?
I can't even get the shot in my area yet
Ironically, I just made 2 dozen cupcakes yesterday- confetti cake AND rainbow chip frosting! I made them for DH to celebrate the World Series, but I'm sure I can steal a few back for you!

Go red velvet, it always goes down smooth. And eat one for your hag of a doctor, because if my memory serves, I think that you are supposed to gain weight when you're pregnant.
And congrats on the vax - you did the right thing. Makes me proud.
Yeah, she's a douchey b!tch.
I got the hot one last time. I asked the scheduler where the hot one was today. She laughed at me for a minute before she realized I was serious.
"Lady...whatever you do... do not schedule me with Ms. "You've gained two pounds at 19 weeks, and what makes you think you have any say in your birth plan anyway?" again, or I will cut someone upon exiting this place.
Yeah. I brought up the birth plan thing. She laughed at me like I was 12.
OMG - I would DIE for a cupcake right now. Fo shizzle.
My doc did the same thing to me last week. I gained 5 pounds in 4 weeks. HELLO?!?! You yelled at me the appt before that b/c I had lost a total of 23 pounds. So, now I gain weight and you yell at me again? Whatevs.
THAT is PERFECT.
Btw, Super congrats on your gorgeous progeny.
Maybe when she and the Hitchhiker grow up, they can go out. :P I'm sure they'd be the.cutest.couple.ever.
*wonders if she's a bad mom for trying to set her son up already... but only briefly*
P.S. - Thank you for your fb advice.
And, HELLZ NO to the biitch laughing at you! UH-UH!!
Yeah, these crazies sat me down for one of those "This is a talk we gotta sit ya down for" things at my last appointment, 'cause I had lost 20 pounds in a matter of like.. 5 weeks. Which, by the way, I wasn't too worried about, since I started out at a whopping 230. (Yeah, I'm a fatty, judge me for my cupcakes, go ahead b!tches.)
Anyway, they were all like "Because you have a history of random weight fluctuation blah blah blah, don't lose ANY MORE WEIGHT, or WE WILL PUT YOU ON A FATTEN UP DIET!"
And then I come in today and this new lady that I'd never seen before was like "You've gained 2 pounds in the last 4 weeks. That's not good. It's too early for you to be gaining like that. If you hit the 10 pound mark prior to 35 weeks, we're putting you on a liquids only diet."
... REALLY? *headdesk* As if I didn't feel bad enough about my newly leaking-grumbling-puking-acneridden-swelling-stretching body... A liquid only diet threat at almost-20 weeks?!
I think that's the REAL danger of the Pig Flu Vax.
It doesn't make you sick or give you G-B syndrome or cause your kid to come out lookin' like a fish ('cause yeah, I got the preservative'd kind, 'cause I already suck as a parent anyway)...
It makes pregnant women want cake to the extent that they will be like, stampeding bakeries and cake aisles nation wide. The CDC doesn't mind though... They are the Center for DISEASE Control, not the Center for Random-Cake-Slaying Control.
What the fukc??? Dude, that doesn't sound right, not at all.
I had to point it out to her, 'cause the crazy b!tch apparently couldn't READ MY CHART (oh, how comforting...).
And she was like "Really, how much weight you've lost doesn't matter. You came in here morbidly obese. Your body is already a danger to your baby."
.... Yeah. A danger to my baby. I wanted to cry, but only 'cause I also wanted to punch her really badly, and I knew if I did I'd go to jail, and I just don't think I'd do very well in prison, guys... I just don't think I would...
I got vaccinated today and am realllyyyyyy exhausted too! I feel like I'm back in the first tri. Weird.
I didn't think so either. I told her that the last doc I saw (it's a rotating practice) was worried about me not gaining. She asked who it was and I told her, and she rolled her eyes and said, "Of course he is. He doesn't want you to feel bad. But I don't really care how you feel. I care about the healh and safety of your baby. And right now, he's not in a safe place."
If I am ever scheduled with her again, I might knife her. I have never had any obesity-related health problems, I eat very healthily, and I was very active pre-pregnancy. So yeah, I'm a fatty, that doesn't mean my body is a pit of knives or something inside.
At first I couldn't figure out what the tiredness was from... 'cause it hit almost IMMEDIATELY. Stupid me got home and was like "Why am I so tiredddddd?"
Bun just looked at me like I'd grown two extra heads and was like "Didn't you get your effin' pig vaccine today? Why do you THINK you're 'so tired'? And, don't lay down, we have chores to do."
I flipped him off and took a nap.
Yup...it really turns you into Mrs. Piggy. And mine was the preservative kind as well, I tried and failed to get the vax 2Xs before due to lines, supply, etc. I wasn't about to pass it up. Cake should fix that though, and the Center for Random-Cake-Slaying Control says it's fine.
Whoa. I agree, ask to see their license to practice medicine. Yikes.
Yeah, like I said, I will not be scheduled with her again. Apparently that's pretty common though, 'cause the scheduler was like 'Don't worry, that'll likely be your only appointment with her, and since she's not an MD, she won't be delivering you."
...Oh yeah, she's not an MD.
Holy sh!t. What a fukcer. Please don't see her again. This statement is a HUGE red flag. She sounds like the nightmare doctor from "Knocked Up".
I think the Center for Random-Cake-Slaying Control is really just around as a shield for Pregnant women... We go in, do the damage, and they clean up the mess, 'cause who wants a bunch of pregnant b!tches with cake all over their faces trying to mop up the baker's blood?
Oh Jesus Christ, I want to hurt her for you.
I completely agree. I let the nice administrator know what was said to me on the way out, so she could have a friendly chat with her overly-zealous weight nazi of a PA once I was gone.
I think the words I used were "Psychotic fvcking b!tch who deserves to be hit by a truck."
...She got the point.
Um, yes, yes you should have you crazy. And you should have shared it.
That being said, ladies, I'm going to go down a Dr. Pepper and snack on some lunch meat. We just got this great new Pepper Turkey in at the deli, it is ab-so-lutely delicious. I just eat it by the pound. On my couch. With a side of brie. 'Cause I am a fat, dangerous, bad mommy.
If anyone needs me, you know where I am. :P
Thread of the Day Award. LMAO, make me giggle
I'm sorry, but I'm *dead* at morbidly obese. You just lost like 30 effing pounds! Der.
The PA was probably just hungry. Next time go in there with cheese cake, and ask her if she wants some...then eat it all while you are waiting. What a nut job that lady is. I guess she skipped the chapter on hormones during pregnancy.
Thank you, thank you very much.
I must say, when she said "morbidly" I said... Fvck. No. No you did not. Yeah, I'm 5'3" and now weighing in at 212 pounds, and I COMPLETELY understand that I am nowhere near my goal weight... but do you really think that pregnancy is the time for me to be shedding tons of lbs?
After all... I'm not worried about my waistline. Or myself. Just my baby.
I am really really confused by what your doctor said to you. They are saying you should not gain more than 10 pounds prior to 35 weeks?? By the time you are 35 weeks pregnant, your baby alone will weigh about 5 lbs. That is not including placenta, amniotic fluid, etc. That makes no sense at all. I am 27 weeks and have gained 12 lbs, and my office has told me that is perfectly average.
It sounds to me like this person is dishing out bad information. Not to mention her people skills are clearly lacking. I would not want to see her again.
just saw your response now...
You're not a bad mommy at all
. Is he already into older women? lol..
