FFFC
This discussion has been closed.
Re: FFFC
I have a very close friend who has smoked her whole first pregnancy and second. She thinks she is invincable and nothing will ever happen to her or the baby. I know this is a horrible thing to think (and I'd never wish harm on her unborn child), but part of me wishes she would have some stupid minor complication because then maybe it would make her realize that she's hurting herself, her unborn child and daughter. It just frustrates me because she's hurting both of her children and is completly obvlious to it. I just hate to see her children suffering because she is ignorant and only cares about satisfying her habit and not her childs health. Once again I do not want to see her children suffer in any way (more than they do already) because by no means is it fair to them when they can't do anything to stop it, but I think it would be the only way for her to 'come to her sense' that's she's hurting them.
Same here!! It's back and better (or worse) than ever! haha!
I like them too, I hang out on Baby Names more than here some days when we're slow. I side eye more than I like the names, especially some of the other BMB Moms... but its interesting to see what my LOs classmates will likely be named.

I'm sorry to hear about your brother. That must've been terrible.
OMG! Me too. I just realized. Damn maybe around 12 ill find a magazine or something and rub a perfume sample on.

Care to name names?
ITA Tavia. Things go wrong at hospitals, birth centers, and homes. It happens. Are care providers sometimes negligent? Yes, it happens. It can happen anywhere and anytime humans are involved in anything.
Really sneaky! That's a great idea, though.
When DH and I were looking at homes, we opened up closets and drawers. I even sneaked a peek at some mail left laying around. Yup, I'm a snoop. I can't help it.
You are right. She should not have been a home birth candidate. IMO, home births are safe.
that is why I leave some in my desk...Just in case.
I needed it yesterday
Scented lotion works well too.
I think low risk is fine at home but i personally think your risk is lower in a hospital because there are more eyes. A person can be negligent anywhere but i like to think an L&D nurse might notices some of the negligence. I just like having more eyes scrutinizing everything.
I have a real flammable one: I get SO tired of "OMG so worried" posts. As someone who has had actual complications (PPROM, preterm labor), I see people freak out about tiny things and just roll my eyes. You have generalized abdominal pain? No contractions, water leaking, bleeding, localized pain, fever, diarrhea, vomiting? Then who cares? If you're really worried, call your doc. I have no sympathy.
And then the "Am I having preterm labor?" posts drive me nuts. Call your doctor or just look on the March of Dimes website (or a million others) about the specific signs that mean you need to call your doc, and what you should do in the meantime. Even if you're worried you're in the early stages, no doctor will worry until you hit one or more of the signs you can find on any health or pregnancy site, like 6+ contractions per hour, and usually they want them to happen for more than one hour, or WATER leaking. Not slightly thinner discharge. If you are actually having preterm labor, you'd have to be a moron to miss it, and if you think it's happening, just call your dang doc because it's very serious!
amazing!
My dog and I split a Reese's cup blizzard last night.
I plan on getting an Epi because I'm terrified of the pain. I really would love to do med-free but I don't think I could handle it.
DH doesn't want our dog to be fed people food. I give her scraps of my food all day long and he doesn't know about it.
I am hoping that when/if my sister has kids, she has horrible m/s and every pregnancy symptom possible. I am so tired of her telling me how she has "friends" who felt great throughout their entire pregnancy and how strange it is that I have an aversion to chicken and haven't been able to eat it since my BFP. She thinks that everyone gets off BCPs and gets pregnant instantly and that it's crazy to start setting up your nursery any earlier than 8 months pregnant. I could go on all day about it but I just want to rub everything in her face once she's in my shoes. Yeah, I'm that petty.
That is smart from a seller's perspective. Maybe invasive, but they're in YOUR home afterall, so it's fair game. Have you heard anything that will help you help your house sell better or has it been funny little things?
I join you in wishing many pregnancy pains and symptoms upon your sister
. If one more person tells me about someone they knew or heard about who had an easy pregnancy, it's going to result in a throat punch!
Leah, I'm so sorry about your brother. How horrible and devastating that must've been for your family.
My DH was born with the umbilical cord wrapped twice around his neck. He almost died as well. That is one reason that I've chosen to give birth in a hospital (with a NICU) vs. a home birth...
This is actually what my friend said her doctor told her too. She's a heavy smoker and "says" she hates that she smoked during both her pregnancies. Though she still continues to smoke.
Ok, my confession is that I have spent almost this entire week in sweat pants and playing on the computer. Oh and today is the first time I opened my Prenatal Yoga DVD that I've had since my 1st tri. Felt good to do that session today.
I have a friend who does this and it INFURIATES me. Constantly telling me that I'm "weird" or something must be wrong because she's never heard of anyone else dealing with whatever random symptom I said I had. She's never been pregnant and has no children. She was just telling me the other day "all I needed to know" about breastfeeding. UM- OK. After the first couple of months I just started telling her everything was wonderful and fine. I don't want to hear her ridiculous, idiotic comments. I swear to God if she calls me weird one more time I'm going to fly out to Philly and punch her in the face.
Anyway- I got off on a little rant there. I feel your pain, and I'm just as petty as you.
I used to! I need to buy another one. After awhile I just started putting it on at work lol.
ive had icecream almost every ight since i was 13.
AND I might have another today.
(disclaimer: I do eat healthy for dinner and I eat healthy snacks.)
I bought some strawberry cheesecake ice cream last night and drizzled chocolate on top. OMG. I had two bowls. I justified it because I worked out that day.... lol.
We actually heard one buyer say how much they were going to offer, and how much they would actually pay (more).
It's been really good things so far... there have been a few small things they've noticed that I never noticed and I fixed it because I heard them say something.
I both agree and disagree with this one.
I was one of those having abdominal pains with "no other signs" at all people, that has ended up on bedrest for the past 4+ weeks for preterm labor. There were no contractions detected on the monitor but my OB still considered the cramping and length of my cervix to signal possible preterm labor.
If I would have posted my symptoms, I would have been told "it's normal". I however did not post it here, because honestly I wouldn't trust anyone other than a doc to diagnose me. While my pain was normal, had I not been concerned enough to go in, the other issue would have never been found.
So what I do agree with is the call your doc statements. All I ever want to post is "don't listen to anyone here, call your doctor, better yet tell your doctor you WANT an ultrasound of your cervix, even if they say your pain is normal".
