We did this last week, so I'm posting it again this week..
This isn't directed at any one person, but if I see one more post about "is it okay to gain weight?" I'm going to lose my mind.
Also, we don't need an individual post every time someone passes their GD screening. There have been plenty of posts that have legit questions with them, and I have no problem with that... but holy cow ladies!
What else have you got? Let's hear it ladies?
Re: b!tchfest monday?
Thank you for starting this thread! I know I've vented about this before, but SERIOUSLY the guy that sits on the row next to me at work, must you clip all your fingernails at work every week? it disgusts me! and how can your fingernails grow that fast?
Also, other annoying people at work, why must you constantly ask me when I am coming back to work or how long a maternity leave I am taking, etc? It's none of your business! And I don't even know yet, so stop freaking asking me all the time!
Toby, my furry baby
YES! YES! I love you, OP! I am so ridiculously tired of seeing the GD and weight gain/loss posts!! I swear I want to toss my computer every time I see one (which is what, 10x a day?). STOP THE MADNESS!
(clearly, they've pushed me over the edge)
AMEN. I used to respond with such patience to these, but lately I just sort of want to be really snarky in response.
I mean, seriously. We are growing life here, gaining some weight comes with the territory, everyone knows it, and it's what we all signed up for. Why even step on your scale? What is even the point? It's not like you're on a diet. Let the doctor determine if you've gained too much weight. They'll tell you, I promise.
Oh, and dear (male) coworker, if you say one more word about pregnant waddles, I will go off on you. I get that we're friends at work and all, but your "maybe she should try walking front to back instead of side to side" comment about another coworker got me annoyed (mostly because I'm sick of listening to you and your stupid-azz jokes in general).
And to the person that cleaned the fridge and threw my lunch away (on a weekend when food service is limited on the hospital campus).. thanks for making me cry like a baby in the bathroom.
Personally? I have to go to Mexico for work on Wednesday, and I don't really want to. I just got back on May 31st and am going back again the last week of the month. It's just a lot of travel and being away from home.
This.... seriously. My husband can be a moron sometimes, but he is a wonderful husband and father and I would honestly be lost without him.

Me too! But today I'm feeling super snarky, and I've reached a breaking point.

Ew. That is all.
Ew is right. The joys of being a nurse. Very rewarding profession but some days, especially since I've been pregnant, I wanna run screaming out of that building. Today I almost did lol.
I agree with this. I see it on FB all the time. Everyone has gripes about their DH, and little stuff is fine to say, but some people take it overboard. Personally, I'm of the mindset that your fights/issues with DH stay between you and DH (or a counselor, if that's the case).. they don't get broadcast to the entire world just because you're upset.
And to the same point, I don't understand people that drag their parents in to their fights with their spouse. (i.e. the "I talked to my mom and she agrees that you're being an azz about this" type things).

THANK YOU!!! I worry enough about how much I've gained without seeing that someone is worried about gaining about half or less than half as much as I have. I know I shouldn't look at those posts, but I can't resist them, either, and then I just feel bad.

Thank you OP! seriously!!! the worst is most of the "I went for my GD test" followed by "I passed", is mostly from newbies that none of us know!
Urgh - don't get me started on the weight gain posts: I don't even look when I go to the OB, I get on the scale backwards: I asked them to tell me if it is an issue. I just stopped throwing up last week, and I am growing a human ffs.
Hah I literally just posted about passing the GD screening.... Sorry ladies, DH is in his man cave, DS is napping, and I'm bored!!

Also I want to slap the 15 year old who just gave me my drink in the drive thru. I ordered a vanilla coke not the attitude ok snot!?
I love the world. And all the wonderful people in it. Smiley.
Here's one from work. There's this woman that is in management and I don't know how old she is, but she's at least in her thirties, and she talks baby talk. I don't understand how she can talk like that and sometimes act little girlish at the same time and be in the position that she's in, or just the fact that she's an adult and talks like that. She's a nice person, and I don't really have much interaction with her, but it just annoyed me today.
And it's not all the time she talks like that, so it's not her natural voice or anything.

For what it's worth, my best friend gained 50 pounds during her pregnancy and I still thought she was beautiful I bet you are too!
I would say the majority of the time I don't like my spouse. So that is probably why I post so many vents about him!
Number 1: I HATE it that people stare at me when I ride my bike! I can't possibly be the first pregnant lady they've ever seen ride a bike. I actually had someone roll down their window and say, "You shouldn't be riding!" the other day.
Number 2: What is with the term "side eye"? Is this something people say in real life? I have only ever heard it on the bump, and I think it is straight up weird.
Sorry to be one of the "weight posters" ... it was from a few weeks ago and mostly I was just feeling like a big blob, not really concerned about weight.
I am a teacher and just got my assignment for summer with 3 other people that aren't familiar with the age group...ugh, and they just watched me carry around supplies while they sat there. Thought I was going to start screaming at them. OH, and the a/c was broken, yuck!!!

If one more biitch says "wow, you're really small" I will end up in jail. Seriously, fvuck you. Maybe you got huge while you were pregnant, thats fine, thats how your body reacted to pregnancy. I happen to think I carry very nicely. I dont need to explain every fvucking time that my boys are growing just fine and depsite me looking small I am measuring at 42w. Go fvuck yourself.
Seriously, its like "oh you're pregnant with twins? You're so small"
me:"Well I didnt know I was supposed to blow up like a balloon the day after I found out. You're an idiot."
That is all.
This is why I effing love you!
Ditto... this. I'm not saying this to brag about my own, although he is great. I know husbands aren't awesome all of the time, but come on. Your DH is the ONLY person on the face of the earth that you CHOSE to be related to.
Really?? I mean really???
Omg. I hate the term side eye! I never heard it before this board either. I wish people would just say "I'm judging you" It sounds more honest.

You need to tell those girls to behave!!! Keep getting rest and hydrating as much as you can. I know it's so frustrating now but the end result is so great! Thoughts and prayers for you lady!!!

Sometimes I call the business right then and there and complain. I give them the license number and the street direction etc...Instant cure for road rage.
