Sunday Vent Post

Meg_Meg · September 2012

Not sure if this is supposed to be a daily thread, but I flippin need it today.

Something bothering you? Annoyed you woke up still knocked up? Husband being an ass? Feel free to vent away ladies.

I woke up at 3am and just cried for an hour. Not for any particular reason. Gotta love those pregnancy hormones!

Meg_Meg · September 2012

I am so miserably sick. I honestly can't believe it. I assumed there wasn't much that was more uncomfortable than being 38 weeks pregnant, but that was before I got a sinus infection and possible strep throat. I can breathe, can't sleep, and I miss Advil something fierce.

I'm scheduled for an induction on Tuesday and I was REALLY hoping this girl would make her appearance on her own before then. But everything I've read online says that our bodies usually wait until they feel better to start laboring.

Basically, I just feel like sh!t and think its a cruel joke that any pregnant woman should get sick leading up to her due date.

I cried hard yesterday morning. For the strangest reason (I felt bad that both DH and I wanted DS1 to stay in bed with us instead of starting to chase him around at 7am). DH just took DS downstairs and closed the door and I cried in bed. For a while. Ugh.

My Sunday vent - we bought DS1 a kitchen set from his little brother (2 weeks ago?) and it's not put together yet. DO IT ALREADY DH!! Or else I will feel tempted to haul that big @ss box in here and attempt it myself, which I'm sure will not go well, and then I'll really be begging for help to get it done before DS notices it!

Hope you feel better soon!! It does suck feeling sick! I was up with a migraine and an extremely swollen sore throat at 3am, put off asking DH as long as possible to go to the store to get me benadryl and coated tylenol (all I had was non-coated and I can barely get that down without the sore throat!) and I just got out of bed. Just laying around for me today!

My vent (yup in addition to feeling sick) is that people are not able to respect my request to NOT tell the whole world my business. We had to schedule a c-section in case LO doesn't flip, it's really not looking likely he will, so we set a date to be safe. I shared this info with my mom, sister and best friend and let them know I'd like to wait to share it with extended friends and family (preferably the day after it happens TBH). It's not that I'm keeping it a secret, it's just a decision I had been struggling with, and the way I see it: 1. He may still flip, and 2. If I were to have a regular labor and delivery, we planned on sharing the news after he was born anyways (no "going into labor" facebook posts for me). Needless to say, everyone and their mother now knows the date and time (thanks to 1 of those 3 "confidants") and have already started to plan their visits (which DH and I wanted to put off until day 2 or 3 post op). Guess I should have kept that info 100% to myself and DH!

Yesterday morning, I attended a CPR certification course at my office that my boss paid for so that everyone could get certified. I signed up for it weeks ago, overestimating how good I would feel at 37w pregnant. I spent yesterday kneeling on the floor, practicing with these dummies, and sweating my ass off in a hot room - because apparently, 76 degrees is comfortable for everyone. I ended up with a migraine that has continued today and won't go away.

I'm certified for 2 years (yay), but I miss my migraine medicines so bad right now.

mandawest · September 2012

I am also miserably sick with a sore throat, sneezing, runny nose...etcI was not expecting my last week pregnant to include this!Not to mention my dh expecting me to entertain him because he is boredand wants to do something....ughhhhh

BostonDble · September 2012

I want this baby girl OUT!! I want my body back to myself, I want to be able to walk with out saying ouch every 2 seconds. Not to mention I think I have been loosing my MP for the past week and its just gross and want it to stop. I hope something happens this week and she comes because I am done!! See total vent

PenelopePond · September 2012

DH and I can't agree on a name. Four days until csection. I'm pretty sure my baby boy is going to have a name I don't like and that makes me very sad.

linzeek44 · September 2012

Dear everyone I know,

You can text me as many times as you want, asking me when the baby is coming or reminding me that you're eagerly awaiting his arrival. But I have no clue when he's coming and no one is eagerly awaiting his arrival as much as me and DH... So yeah, thanks for all the messages.

I'm there with you on that one. Off to get a foot massage to help (hopefully) get things moving before induction Wednesday.

Just wanted to say GL with the name I know how you feel... we are also counting down in days to c/s and the name is completely up in the air. I hope you can find a name you both love!

Pretty much same boat as everyone else - I'm feeling like crap, I'm cranky 24/7, and I want this baby OUT!

FIL came up yesterday to help with some last minute projects, and was supposed to leave last night. (BTW, this is the THIRD weekend in a row that he came up to help DH do crap. We are rapidly running out of weekends before LO arrives, or we have already.) Well DH broke the downstairs toilet, so FIL spent the night last night. So much for hoping to get DH in the mood to get things moving last night.

It was supposed to be an easy fix, so they started around 8am this morning.

3 trips to Lowe's later, and they STILL don't have the right part and it's STILL not done. As much as I appreciate FIL's help, I want him to go home. I want to get the last few things done that DH and I need to get done.

Plus my back is really hurting, and I'm 95% sure that it isn't contractions, just a backache. And I'm hungry and DH took my car since his is a gas guzzler SUV.

*cries*

1. SO annoyed I woke up still pregnant. I'm so anxious, it keeps me up until all hours!
2. The next person who tells me to "enjoy" my last few days of freedom will be punched. Here, take this bag of flour, strap it to yourself for months, then try to enjoy your last few days/weeks/forever with it!
3. I asked my SO to harness up one of our dogs so I could go for a walk last night, since I was cramping and wanted to help it along. He got upset and asked why, then said "do you really have to help it along tonight?" and threw this big hissy fit! Did I ask you to come? NO! Do I need you to protect me as I walk around our block? NO! Why do you think I asked you to leash up our giant pit bull? I think he can take care of any business just fine!
4. SO won't have sex with me. I don't blame him, but we both know it will help.
5. I burn with jealousy at the fact he can sleep on his back.

just wanted to give you guys some cookies

I really don't have a vent. (not trying to rub it in, all you vents are way more legit than my "wah I feel huge and tired and prego" vent. oh, and our baby doesn't have a name either...

but hope you guys have a nice relaxing day and your LO's come soon!

CdnFarmGirl08 · September 2012

We also have no names- team green and no names. It's driving me crazy. I thought we did, then when I mentioned it to him today- he said he really didn't like that name.

We are having company over to watch the football game today and our house needed some cleaning. DH decides it needs a full spring cleaning. Sorry honey, I can't do that much anymore! He thinks I can and was pushing me to do more. Now I'm lying on the couch with a ton of BH and a super sore back and tailbone. I know he wants the house clean and he did way more than I ever did, but still, I'm 9 months pregnant. Not the time to do a full cleaning!

jbBeans · September 2012

I had hayfever (which I have never gotten before) and it seems to be going away but I've had lots of deep mucus (sorry, gross). Now it seems that my ear is kind of clogged and I think it's probaby the start of an ear infection. If that staves off labor until EDD or a bit after, that'd be great. But I'm not loving the idea of actually having an ear infection on top of last few weeks of pregnancy's normal discomfort.

Poor thing! I was hoping you were feeling better by now. I hope it's at least better by Tuesday mama

Mom2Mack1 · September 2012

Yesterday was pretty bad. DH was being a jerk, and I was super exhausted & sore.

Today has been much better, he must have learned something yesterday. However, now on top of the cramps, and being enormous I have a mild headache too. Ugghhh I am so done with all of this!!!

cautionwillburneyes · September 2012

I am hating Thursdays. I went back to school to finish my degree (Biology), and this is my final semester. I have this plant systematics class which has a lab on Thursdays. I HATE the lab right now. It consists of what I like to call the "death march", or 3 hour walk in the woods in various areas learning all sorts of plants. I can hardly walk comfortably as it is, but climbing over logs in the woods is darn near impossible. I hurt so much after lab that I can hardly stand it. I can't wait to have this baby so that I can do these things without so much pain!!

mandawest · September 2012

Can today just be over? I am sick of being sick...and I have high hopes that I will feel better tomorrow. And I am so over the just sitting around today and waiting to either a) feel better b) go into labor

Yesterday I posted about feeling so patient and now I am so impatient! Might be the cold that is frustrating me so much or the raging hormones...

I'm just looking forward to going back to work tomorrow so that I will have something else to distract me!

TCMom78 · September 2012

Feel nothing going on. That's my vent. Bring it on, kid!!

kcalpin · September 2012

I just spoke with my father, which is always a treat. He lives on the west coast and we live in the midwest. He's coming out next Wednesday to meet the baby (who isn't here yet) and the only reason he's coming out at all is because he is going to be on a business trip in the area. And he told me this. So, basically if he didn't have to work, he wouldn't be coming out to see his first grandchild. He also informed me that if the baby isn't here by then that he's going to be very disappointed. Well, guess what?? You're not the only one!!

NewlyWeds13 · September 2012

I am 6 days past due, plan on going to work tomorrow for a 10 hour day, and husband treats me like I am not pregnant (that is just him-- which is usually fine as I don't have bad pregnancies).

I am just sick of it-- and I went 13 post due with my son, so I could be in for another week of this crap... urgh.

Thanks Jenni. I honestly don't think I'd survive childbirth the way I have felt tis weekend. Hopefully two days in bed has done my body good!

ArtificialRed · September 2012

I hate that I can't stop myself from getting my hopes up when things seem to start happening, and then getting disappointed when nothing comes from it. I hate that sometimes the only way to move past it is to have a really ugly cry.
