B&M Monday
lynn97

I haven't seen this post today, so I thought I'd start the thread.
I'm still here. While I know it's still early for me, I am a bit frustrated b/c last week I felt awful and had lots of ctx and cramping. Now, nada. At least I feel better, I guess...

Re: B&M Monday
I've been 3cm and 50% for over a week now and the pre labor contrax are drive me insane!!!
Come on baby! Be born!
I've been in the hospital on bed rest for Vasa Previa since June 2. It's been getting harder as the days go on, and I finally had a meltdown yesterday and was bawling on and off all day. It's so hard hearing what DH and all our friends are doing, and looking at Facebook and seeing all the fun things people are doing over our beautiful month of June, while I have to sit here and stare at the wall. And it's even more frustrating as my last baby was a stillborn, so I keep wondering what I did to deserve all this bad luck with our babies. It is beyond frustrating. I am very hopeful this time, and she seems perfectly healthy so far, but the VP is very dangerous for her, so I am anxious that they get her out safely. The only good thing is my C/S is scheduled on June 29th, so I know I don't have too much longer now.

When we get towards the uncomfy end of the pregnancy it's natural to want the discomfort to end, and see out precious babies
But...enjoy the time she's in there, but I hope the ctx & cramps do subside so you're not in pain. I am the most sleep deprived and exhausted and in pain...more than I have ever been. And keep in mind I have been in a major accident (rolled my truck 7 times end over end). I know pain. I absolutely love my baby. But I look back and the last few weeks of pregnancy that I was begging for some action from my FI to get things started (cervix softening), and feel silly. If it hadn't been for the high blood pressure, she coulda stayed in there for as long as she wanted :P
Anyway, probably more of a comment than you were looking for, but I'm just in a typing mood I guess. Baby is sleeping...time to bump!
I hate not getting any sleep. I am EBFing, so I am the only one who can feed Cate -- and that girl LOVES to eat... or just suck... I can't figure out what she's doing, but she's attached to my boob at least once every 2 hours around the clock and I hate it.
I feel like my other girls are being neglected. I keep telling them to go watch TV or play a game together because I'm constantly nursing. I'm not in pain, she has a great latch, but she just constantly needs to be fed. And I'm too nervous to pump and bottle feed because I don't want to mess with my supply/demand (I do pump & freeze after every feeding).
I keep hearing that is gets easier, so I hope that happens soon. I'd hate to give up just because it's too time consuming... but I have to be a good mom to all 3 of my kids, not just the littlest one!
I sincerely hurt for Moms that deal with losing a baby. Just knowing my baby was in danger affected me so horribly. No one here did anything to deserve losing a child. Sadly, the human body, genetics, and our environment are not perfect. Even if the odds are a million to one, there is still that one who it will happen to. It's such a sad fact of life. I prayed so many times for my baby...but I knew whatever was going to happen would happen, and all I could do is be alert and tell my OB all my concerns. It helps, but doesn't ever guarantee anything. I am so sorry that you lost a baby. I'm sure everything will be fine with this LO, and I will keep you in my T & P's! I'm not religious, but I believe in God, and I truly believe that when a little miracle doesn't stay with us, that he or she becomes a little angel and is happy. It will never stop hurting entirely, but stay optimistic b/c you're going to have a perfect little baby soon, and you're being monitored in the hospital, so if anything goes wrong, then you are in extraordinarily good hands.
I'm essentially on bed rest and I'm bored/frustrated out of my mind. I have such bad sciatica pain I'm afraid to go out anywhere and end up falling. I've had a few close calls the last week.
DH's grandmother will be in town this week, let's just say we don't see eye to eye but she demands all of my H's time when she is in town. I know he's going to give in to her and it pisses me off.
I want an outside baby!!! I am a teacher, so I have to go back in the begining of the school year no matter when the baby arrives. I just want my LO here so that I can enjoy him/her. I'm also used to being over busy, so not having anything to do every day is starting to drive me nuts. Luckily I have great friends who are willing to go out to eat/ go for walks/ etc.
On a more positive side, I think that we are 99% decided on a name. Its been a battle finding a name that a) we both like b) goes well with our last name and c) fits the middle name of Jon.
Thanks TG84, I certainly feel safer being here at the hospital than if I was at home. And luckily all has been going very smoothly, no signs of labor or ctx at all, which is what we are hoping for. Only 9 more days!

1. I am exhausted.
2. If I have to argue with DH any more about rice cereal, I think I am going to scream. NO! Our child does not need nor will he get rice cereal any time soon. I will win this one, so LET IT GO.
3. How come I pick up this damn house every single day and it's just as messy the next? Guess I better get used to that one.
4. Did I mention my exhaustion?
DITTO!
except I would really really like to poop. It's been since Thursday
I had an unplanned c-section wednesday night and developed a head cold on saturday. The sneezing and coughing is killing the area around my incision.
Our LO wants to feed every 1-2 hours, but normally closer to one. I dont' know how much more my nipples can take.
I wish I was having my induction today like what was planned, but ds came 2 weeks ago and was in such a hurry I almost delivered on the way to the hospital. I spent all day at work in labor and was too busy to realize it was the real thing. I am very much dissapointed with my labor experience and hate my job that much more because it essentially robbed me of a better labor/delivery experience and this was most likely my last time being pregnant. No last day being pg belly pic, no get settled and checked in to the hospital and get my pain meds, heck, dh almost missed ds' birth.
I am sad because dh is back to work today, school starts up for him 2 nights a week starting next week and through the end of December. It will likely keep him away more than just the 2 nights too due to group projects.
I'm overwhelemed with the thought of taking care of the 2 kids by myself in the evenings when dh is gone. I am not a patient person, dd is not a good listener and planning things around ds's sproadic eating schedule is hard.
I am SUPER stressed about how we're going to afford daycare/preschool for 2 and kind of wish we would have waited a bit longer to get pregnant again, but we were approaching more of an age difference than we wanted.
I am so, so sick of people trying to convince me to travel when LO gets here.
I don't care if you took your kid across the country 20 min after they were born-- I'm not planning on going anywhere!
I thought it was just my MIL being ridic - she wants us to go to DH's friend's engagement party 2 hours away 2 weeks after she's due- doesn't understand why I can't just "leave the baby" with them- umm-- 2 weeks after I have a baby, I'm not packing her up and traveling that far for something I really don't care about going to in the first place, I'm not comfortable leaving her with them period, and I'll be breastfeeding-- how's she going to cover THAT?
Then it was my mother, DH has training in early August for a new job and she wants me to fly to NC to stay with them-- uh-- no-- he'll only be gone in 3 day periods, and I have no desire to travel with a 1 month old for no reason
Then my aunt-- my cousin's baby shower is in FL in late August-- that one I might actually try since we missed her bridal shower and wedding due to the placenta issues we were having
Then my BIL-- could we come down (2.5 hour drive) for July 4th b/c his gf's family is visiting and they want to see the baby??? um- NO.
Friends-- having a bbq in July-- can we go so they can see the baby? (2 hours away)- yeah-- last bbq you all got high and played beer pong- not a reason for me to pack up LO and haul her down there so she can learn what pot smells like
Did I mention we don't own a car? All of this involves me taking the baby and her assorted equipment on the subway and then a train or plane???
What happened to the old "go visit the baby" idea? Why does everyone expect me to travel to them????!
I cant stand my mom calling the baby her baby and telling me what to do with him.
First off he is me and SO baby not yours my egg and his sperm made him and I birthed him. You were there you know he came out of me not you. The other day she came over for a visit and said wheres my baby, I joked and said you mean my baby she said no hes mine too. Um what!?
Also, if you feed him rice cereal in a bottle he will sleep better. No he is fine, I dont mind waking up every 3-4 hours at night hes not getting cereal before his pedi says its fine.
Oh you have it way to cold for him in here. Well considering you just came in from the 98 degree outside sure the 74 degree inside would feel chilly. Also LO temp runs a little high so we keep it a little colder in here so he doesnt get to hot.
Well do you ever put him down thats why he fusses so much for you to hold him you spoil him. Im sorry I didnt realize comforting my child because he is pooping and its hurting him a little bit is spoiling him. When I told her you cant really spoil a two week old baby she looked at me like I had three heads. I just wish she would completly stop giving me advice because its so old school and archaic it drives me absolutely crazy.
I'm still pregnant and I am sick and tried of the comments like "you still haven't had that baby?"
I want to reply "If I had the f'ing baby you would see it, but thanks for pointing out that I am still pregnant"
OMG my left nipple is killing me! I don't know what she did to it but I am officially afraid to let her feed off it! The lotion is not helping either! Hopefully it will heal soon!!!
LOL. My friend's MIL kept saying 'where's our baby'? and I would reply 'you mean M's baby'? She looked like I slapped her across the face.
I think a firm 'Unless you birthed him or adopted him w/out my knowledge, I'm pretty sure he is all mine' should suffice.
MPZ born June 2011
TTC #2 ... Cycle 1-3: IUI = BFN | Cycle 4: IVF ... canceled but 3 snow babies
Cycle 5: FET .. BFP! | EDD - 3/15/2014
LOL - I dont know if this counts as a B&M - but im posting it anyways.
i HATE the Samsung/AT&T phone commercial where this girl is on a date at a restaurant and someone lays their phone down on the table and it has a picture of a gross spider on it.
The chick screams soooooo loud, that I think someone is being murdered in my house. It really just bothers me.
Make a pregnancy ticker
FIL told us this weekend (while he was visiting for DH's graduation from business school and first almost-Father's Day) that he had booked a non-refundable rock climbing trip for himself, leaving on July 10th. LO is due June 27th. We are Jewish, so we will be having a bris 8 days after LO is born. The 8 days is non-negotiable; it is exactly 8 days. So if LO is more than 5 days late, FIL will miss the bris! He doesn't even seem to care! He also didn't get DH so much as a card for either Father's Day or his graduation. He also walked out of the graduation ceremony right after DH's name was called (our last name starts with a D), rather than sitting through the ceremony like a normal person. His 9-month-pregnant DIL (me) was sitting through the ceremony, but he couldn't even be bothered sticking around to say congrats to DH and take pics afterwards. He is so selfish and only thinks of himself!!!
Given that he's so selfish, I really don't care if he's around or not. None of the above surprises me anymore. The B&M part is that I'm still expected to act like I like him, and treat him as family, and spend time with him, etc.
This exactly! (except I don't have a cold, hope you fell better soon)
My nipples are so damaged from constant feeding and DD is havig a hard time latching that the LC only wants me to pump for now. It has been a difficult few days.
I've been walking 3 miles a day since the second trimester. Ate Scalini's eggplant and then some pineapple for the second day in a row. All I get are some BH and maybe some irregular contractions......oh hell, I don't even know if I can tell the difference between a BH and a regular contraction.
Oh, and I have a sore pelvis, like someone kicked me in the crotch. I've had it off and on since my 30th week but today it is BAD.
I had protein in my urine at my Appt on Thurs so I had to do the 24-hr urine catch this weekend. We are meeting with the Dr tomorrow to see how my numbers look. If they have gone up then an induction is in my future. This is not what I want, not what I had planned! Of course I want my son (and myself) to be safe so if it needs to happen it will. I was just really hoping to have until the end of the month.
Also, My DR took me out of work. I was planning on going in this week. So now I'm on 'modified bedrest' and stuck at home. I'm trying to do little things and the put my feet up, but this just makes me want to go to sleep.
I want my baby to be ok, and stay where he is for another week or so!
For me, that pain got progressively worse for about a week and a half, and then the day I went into real labour it went away almost completely, and aside from the contractions, I felt better than I had in months!
And Then There Were Three...

I'm so tired of people looking at me and saying "still no baby??" It takes all the niceness I have (which isn't much by this point) to smile and say "not yet." What I want to do is look at them and say "Does it LOOK like I've had the baby yet, dumb***??" And I know things can change any second, but the fact that on Friday I was 1 cm, cervix was thick, and LO's head wasn't even low enough for doc to touch, I think I'll have to put up with this ridiculous question for a while longer.
This is EXACTLY how my MIL will be. Can't wait for that argument.
LOL me too!! It's so stupid.
LOL this commercial makes me laugh everytime! It's such a weird commercial.
Agreed!!
