I also haaaate when women want their doctor to confirm pregnancy for them. Like, (without any history of complications) they whine about not getting in earlier because they need the doctor to tell them they're pregnant. I understand being impatient to an extent, but really, your body will tell you that you're pregnant. If you POAS and it's positive and you don't get your period, congrats, you're pregnant! I don't know why you need a doctor to tell you what your body is doing. Confused

I can understand that things might be different if you've had a history of problems/complications/loss/etc. but in general babies grow on their own. There's not much your doctor can do for you. WHAT in the world did women do for thousands of years without an OB to tell them they're pregnant?!

This. And I also cannot stand posts where the poster says something like "I am 5 days late and feeling sick and my boobs are sore. Could I be pregnant?" I never respond but I always want to say "How the H*LL should I know if you are pregnant, go take a test"

Agreed. I wanted hcg and progesterone checked because last time I had slow rising hcg and low progesterone and it ended in a loss. I never needed a Dr. to say, "OMG guess what you're totes preggers!!!!!" Once my numbers looked good I was thankful that I didn't need to go in frequently.

1. I am not PC. Or even close to it. And I really feel that the world is too concerned with being to PC all the time. I really have to watch myself on here sometimes...
I feel the same way!
I guess I don't understand it. I wish people would quit getting so butthurt over something trivial and grow some thicker skin. ::shrug:: Glad to see I'm not the only one! Must be a midwest thing.
I don't understand it either. This was especially hard as a teacher. I really had to watch myself around parents and kids.

Amen! This world is getting ridiculous. Tolerance isn't limiting speech, it's learning to chose what to ignore. I hate PC!

My confession is that before being pg I was doing an awesome job maintaining my weight on weight watchers. Now my diet has gone to crap! I'm so not happy with the weight I've gained already. Why do I have such a sweet tooth?

TaylersMommy · June 2012

I have way too many confessions to mention, but this particular week I:

1. Told my totally senior co-worker to "keep your mouth shut" when she called me out on my pregnancy (I'm 12 weeks and we haven't told anyone but my sister yet so I was a little upset that she was only the second person to know). Oooops.

2. Ate a half a bag of Goldfish crackers in one sitting - totally uncharacteristic of me and my hubby looked at me like I had three heads as I proceeded to shove those tasty little things in my mouth. But hey, I felt like a million bucks after, they totally eased the queasies!

3. I whined incessantly about the take-out order my hubby got wrong even though I ate it anyway, and actually enjoyed his version of what I usually get better. Lol.

agree. when i had spotting a few weeks ago, i called the nurse, and she's the one that actually used the phrase "confirm the pregnancy". i was like, uh, i know i'm pregnant, i don't really need that, haha.

I totally lied about having a migraine in order to skip one of my summer classes (in my defense, the professor is a huge a$shole). It was way too nice of a day to be couped up in a lecture hall. So, instead, my son and I laid (splashed and had tons of fun) by the pool.

I pulled the PG card with my professor the other day because I did not want to dissect a cat (taking Anatomy and Physiology). I told her my morning sickness was really bad and the smell of the formalin on the cats really bothered me. She let me sit out.

I loved dissecting the cat in school! I cannot even begin to fathom the effects those smells would have on my with my m/s though. I don't blame you one bit.

I also want to skip class tomorrow to spend all day at the pool. Why did I schedule a class for the middle of the day on saturday!?!

Along these lines, and this is a rant not a confession . . . My MW practice required me to come in for the standard "confirmation of pregnancy" appointment at 8 weeks. They had all my paperwork faxed over by my RE showing not only betas, but my ultrasound images . . . and they still wouldn't let me skip the formality of peeing in the cup and talking to someone about how my appointments will be scheduled going forward. Annoying.

Evan and I hid in my bedroom from my parents yesterday. They are constantly popping in and I'm over it.

I got my "confirmation" blood test AFTER my first u/s. Um, did you not just see that there was something in there??? And to whoever posted about the pants...eff pants! Ive never liked them. When ds was like two Id always say "Who needs pants?" and he'd say "Not me!" Your post just reminded me of that.

Jbosarge85 · June 2012

I got a box of ice cream sandwiches the other day and grabbed two of them my DH looked at me funny and I said what I'm pregnant. Disclaimer I try to eat pretty well I've gained 5 pounds, but I don't think that is horrible.

2nd I really really want corn on the cob

3rd I have a UTI and it really hurts I am not a happy girly, I have to go to a funeral in 30 min and I'm afraid I'm not going to be nice to those grieving

letitbe3 · June 2012

I woke up this morning in a panic - holy ***. I am going to be a mom. WTH am I suppossed to do?? How did my parents know how to raise me? (I may be biased, but think they did a pretty good job). I was thinking of all the things I got away with as a teenager, and that is pretty terrifying. My SO is going to be an amazing father, but sometimes, I don't really know how I'm supposed to interact with kids...what do you do with them all day long?? I am so thrilled and feel so so blessed to have this human growing inside me, but what if I'm not a good mom...?

I flipped someone off on the way to work this morning, called her a C*** (a word which I have NEVER used and cannot stand) then screamed at the top of my lungs. Then all I could think about was, "Was that too loud? Did I scare my baby?"

I also just licked the wrapper of the butter square I used to butter my muffin at my desk. And it was delicious.

If I could fast forward through the next 29 weeks I would, in a heartbeat! I'm so ready to be a Mom and being pregnant has just made me this crazy stressed out person. If all goes well through this pregnancy I don't think I'll be able to do it again....our child will most likely be an only child. Which makes me a little sad.

I agree with you word for word on this!

nagrojean · June 2012

Every time I throw up it makes me pee (at the same time). I think I need to start doing my Kegels.

ReeceFamily · June 2012

I think with the craving thing, at least IME, it has more to do with aversions and feeling poorly than anything. So I guess by default it's pregnancy related for me. By this I mean, things that I typically eat and enjoy don't sound good at all so it pushes me towards things that I might not usually eat as often, or might not think of otherwise. And if everything sounds bad, but only ONE (usually random) THING sounds good it's a totally different craving situation than I would have had not pregnant.

This! I don't have cravings. I go through images of food in my head and try to get a sense for 1) what foods might relieve my icky stomach/nausea and 2) foods that I can actually stand to smell and eat. Then I eat those things that intuitively seem like they meet these criteria. This has completely altered my diet from usually-healthy to diet-of-a-five-year-old . I'm really hoping I can go back to my old eating patterns in the 2nd tri, especially with all of those studies showing that what you eat in pregnancy dictates the tastes of your child in the real world!

letitbe3 · June 2012

I'm also getting super annoyed that people keep giving me work to do. It's Friday and I'm trying to lurk thebump.com boards. And all I can think about is the pedicure I'm going to get this weekend and what I'm going to order out at dinner tonight.

I am scared sh!tless to have another newborn, my son is 3 and I feel like we have come so far and now we are taking a giant step backwards! My son is a pretty independent kid, sometimes to a fault! And I feel that we are finally at the age where we can enjoy outings and events but with a newborn that will all change again. We were in the pool yesterday and all I could think of was next summer we will have a baby that will need constant attention and I won't be able to focus on having fun.

I struggled with my DS when he was a newborn--couldn't breastfeed and suffered with PPD but couldn't get adequate help for it, talked to a therapist for a couple months and all she wanted me to talk about was MY mother...ugh! Finally started taking fish oil about 8 months ago and that has finally helped with the chemical imbalance and will hopefully help me avoid PPD with this new born BUT I already feel that I am setting myself up for it.......

Phew...that was a load off.

brittandjp · June 2012

I have a few..

1. Lily (my sweet Maltese) had a comprehensive drop off exam at the vet today. I was supposed to drop her off by 7:30. I instead chose to do the dirty with DH. I called at 8:00, claimed to have overslept, and asked to bring her in by 9:00. The nurse on the phone wasn't very happy, but they let me drop her off later.

2. I'm straight up terrified of breastfeeding. I know I've mentioned this before, but I can't remember if it was in a FFFC or a different thread. I try to research more and become more familiarized with the process, but it just isn't working.

3. Other than taking a bump break, I sat and watched 6 complete episodes of Revenge on Hulu yesterday. I got up once to get water and pee. I plan to do the same thing today!

EAMommy · June 2012

My daycare kids have had way too much *fend for yourself* playtime and tv time this week because I've felt like crap and don't have energy to engage, educate, and entertain them. And I don't foresee this changing next week unless a miracle happens over the weekend. Thankfully, I have understanding daycare parents!

It was terrifying. It took me at least two weeks until I felt like I was doing it right. Hardest two weeks of my life! Best advice? Find a pedi with a good lactation nurse. She will be INVALUABLE.

In the hospital, have your DH actively observe your lesson with the lactation nurse. My DH had to help me with latch for the first week. And write everything she says down! You will probably forget it all. LOL.

I've only taken my daughter out of the house twice this week, and it was only because I had a doctors appointment, and she had gymnastics. The rest of the time I've had Sprout on the TV to keep her distracted. I just have been feeling so horrible, and don't have the energy to do anything. I feel very guilty : (

HA, That is no big deal! My brother ate half a box (that would be 12) ice cream sandwiches yesterday. This is a normal day for him. And he is not fat either! He weighs like 185 lbs and he is 28 years old. He literally just bought two boxes of ice cream sandwiches yesterday and when I went to get one he had already opened both and half of one was gone and two were missing out of the other. No one else in the house (besides me when I visit) eats them!

Me too! I've started wearing those poise panty liners. They are thin enough that I don't even notice that I'm wearing them, but still quite absorbent. Wink

MrsRiceARoni · June 2012

I have a few:

1. A girl from my church (who I can't stand) is having a CS next week, I'm glad she's having the baby a week early because I was not happy when I found out she was due on my birthday (her son was also due on my EDD from my son that I lost).

2. I kinda don't want to call my mom or my ILs when I go into labor. Last time my mom got out here and was with me at the hospital, I was glad she was there when we found out Noah had passed, and it was great having her as my own personal nurse but I felt like she kept trying to make things about her. That and we don't have a good relationship to begin with, and have been on even rockier ground than normal since my brother eloped. I'm thinking we'll call everyone right around pushing time, since my mom and ILs all live in CA and it'll take them atleast 6 hours to get here.

nattn · June 2012

Even though DH is at the store buying what I wanted an hour ago for dinner, I just called him and asked him to pick up some fried chicken on his way home. This thread is bad for me.

Marliese · June 2012

I threw up so forcefully I peed myself a little. I don't think my DH will ever look at me the same way. :-/

Angelcake · June 2012

Alyssa102:
I cry when I think about going into labour again and actually pushing out the baby.

I don't want to scare any 1st timers. I didn't have a great experience the first time (not horrible though either, as I have heard some pretty bad ones) But, not going to lie, it hurt ALOT and I know the pain goes away the second it is over, but just thinking about the labour and pushing scares me.

I am right there with you sister! I had a * traumatic to me birth* with my ds and between that ds having some major colic for the first 6 months, it took a long time to want another baby...still can't push through the fear of labor though. And I am a doula. lol

Want a personalized experience?
