I hate it when...

aislinsmom · August 2013

....insomnia strikes at 4:00 a.m. It's bad enough when I can't fall asleep when I first lay down at night, but at least then I can get up and read a book or work on my cross stitch or something and then try again after a while. Or if all else fails and I'm desperate, I can take a sleeping aid. But at 3:00 or 4:00 a.m. (when I've been waking up lately) it's too late to take anything to help me sleep, and I'm too exhausted to get up and do anything! So I just lay there tired, uncomfortable, and miserable until it's time to get up.

There's a lot more I could add to my "I hate it when..." list, but what are some of yours?

I hate when I don't go into labor. Haha

RedDDD · August 2013

I hate it when I barf acid in my mouth

rachelstauf · August 2013

I hate it when the ultrasound tech doesn't warn me that laying on my back that long might make me sick... Until I feel like I'm on fire, sweating profusely, and feel like I'm going to puke.

Haha. I'll second this. Come on baby.

I hate the random texts. NO THE BABY IS NOT HERE YET! <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Next time I get one, I’m going to respond with “yeah, he was born a week ago and I just didn’t tell you!”

I hate it when people at work swear I'm not making it to my due date, I didn't realize our security guards knew more information than my doctor. If they have a crystal ball, they need to share it with me.

Oh yeah!! People at work thought I'd go at the beginning of August (or at least the middle) because I had "dropped so much!" even though I just got to 1 cm at my last appointment. Pffffft. This baby isn't going anywhere!

Kristonita12 · August 2013

I hate it when.. I have the mental motivation to get so much done, but physically can't bring myself to do it!

I hate it when everyone tells you to take this time to relax. You can only say that so many times because at some point it turns into boredom/ cabin fever!

Jenmarie279 · August 2013

I hate it when I can't get a good parking spot at my doctors office and I have to walk forever in 300 degree weather. Okay, that was a little dramatic, but you know what I mean. :P

MegStark · August 2013

I hate it when people refer to my insomnia as "my body getting ready for the baby to arrive".... one of the dumbest comments ever, and it makes me want to throat punch them.

strlitemiss · August 2013

I hate it when people tell me " just wait til you drop", um hello I have a lot your just an idiot .

blonde151188 · August 2013

I hate it when people I don't know sit there and try to guess what I'm having. It's creepy, and it means you're staring at my body entirely way too hard.

mcg512 · August 2013

I hate it when my mom calls to make sure I'm not in labor before going to do something. I understand you're excited but there is no need to call me before you go see a movie and "make sure nothing is happening."

TKtravels · August 2013

I hate it when I cough/sneeze/change position and feel an increase in wetness, and then have to figure out if I just peed myself, if it's only my almost-constant heavier discharge, or if my water broke.

mcg512 · August 2013

NBR but just happened for the 3rd time today.... I hate it when a coworker transfers a call to me and says "I'm not really sure what they're asking about." Well ask the caller a few questions and you could probably help them yourself! Come on people!!

I'll third it

janelleashu · August 2013

I hate it when changing position from sitting to standing or laying feels like a huge kick to my groin. I hate it when, in response to said groin kick, I reflexively grab my crotch in front of my 11th graders. Awkward!

I went to L&D and she laid me down mostly flat to do a fetal fibronectin (sp?) swab and a check. As soon as she laid me down, I was like, NOPE. This is not happening.

I hate it when I'm so exhausted that I can't sleep. Or get rid of a headache.

I'm sorry but this made me laugh, a lot! I totally feel your pain though!

Zoly1103 · August 2013

I also hate waking up at 4:00am. It's too late to get anymore sleep without being exhausted. Unless it's the weekend.

My addition: I hate talking about the pregnancy with strangers.They mean well, I just don't really want to answer the same questions over and over.

mrsmoxie · August 2013

I hate it when my husband's boss reminds me and my husband every time we see him to have our baby early so it's convenient for his vacation time. I hope that she comes some time after my due date just so he has to postpone his precious vacation.

TKtravels · August 2013

I hate that whenever I see an advertisement for something edible, I *need* whatever it is.

There was just an ad on for Rice Krispies, and I'm now contemplating putting on outside-appropriate clothes and waddling four blocks each way in 90 degree heat so I can have a bowl of cereal. WTF.

kissamary · August 2013

Anyone else having this moment right now?

And I agree to all above lines of the hate poem.

I hate that I got the back-to-school cold this year. 11 years of dealing strictly with children has given me a great immune system. 38 weeks pregnant with the worst cold of my life on top of insane allergies from the ragweed attack of the week. W.T.F.?

This happened to me at my last ultrasound. I also felt like I was going to pass out.

Haven't watched that movie in years! Love it!!

leahaustin · August 2013

I hate it when random people tell me what I should and shouldn't be doing while pregnant. I am pregnant people not broken!!!

heaven22tw · August 2013

I hate that theres 10 pounds of baby in me and I have 4 weeks to go...2 6 foot + tall people shouldn't be able to make twins!

4Angel5 · August 2013

I hate when I finally get to go to sleep the baby gets the hiccups, my husband starts snoring like a chainsaw, and/or I start having incredibly intense but erratic BH contractions that wake me up just as I'm dozing off, and last just long enough to wear me out an hour before it's time to get up for work. I almost didn't wake up in time to get my kids up, dressed, fed, and on the bus for their first day of school!

313Meg · August 2013

I hate it when I try to stay up as late as possible to avoid what insomnia I can. Yet wake up every hour at least and am up from about 4:30-6:30! Just to sleep a little longer!

Also how I feel starving but can't ever get full with food. It's all baby full!

(Edited to add this: My husband gets to fall asleep around 10pm and snores in my ear ALL night, barely moves, and sleeps through the night. And then wakes up saying how tired he is. While I'm sitting there wide awake ready to punch him!! Oh to get a 2 hr span of sleep!)
