Also, saline nose sprays. They are totally ok, right?

BiggerinRealLife · December 2013

@Medic99 Glad your ute is doing it's job!

@katieharpiceland Thanks and I don't see why not. Our bodies are 90% saline, right?

katieharpiceland · December 2013

@BiggerinRealLife yea, I couldn't even find a pregnancy category for it. It must not be considered a medicine? I need something to clear my sinuses or they will get infected :-P

Bluebird2318 · December 2013

Right on, @Medic99! Cook, baby, cook! Were they able to resolve the issue you were having with your procardia or provide an alternative?

I think my S.A.D. is back, in the starting-to-be-unmanageable kind of way. I can feel the heavy bluesy feeling creeping up a little bit more every day, and it's scaring me a bit. I had to be on mild anti-depressants for it two years ago, when I had a lot of negative life changes all at once, and it was pretty hard to function for a good long while. I knew I'd have to be on my guard for signs of depression as I was predisposed to it before pregnancy, and I've noticed myself feeling blue for no reason for a while, but didn't want to acknowledge that it could be getting worse. I have an appointment with my OB tomorrow, so I'll talk to her about it, but I just really really don't want to deal with depression. Especially not now. Not when there's so much to do and be motivated about and be thankful for. I'm scared. And worried. And sad. And I don't want to be. Sorry to be a Debbie Downer on TLTE.

Sorry you are having to struggle with this. My cousin struggled with this and one thing that really helped her was a light therapy box. She swore it made a world of difference for her. Not sure if you have tried it but I thought I would suggest it. Good luck!

@BiggerinRealLife (((Hugs))), lady! I hope there is something that can be done to provide some relief until you can make it through. Wishing you the best, dear. :x

They are totally safe. If that doesn't work, my OB had me using the Neti pot twice a day and that works wonders. Its gross...but it works. I get sinus issues all the time and irrigating them totally works. Catch is to fix it before it goes to your ears

Sitting at the dr, waiting to do my GD test...I don't want to! Lol this is the part of pregnancy I dread the most..

Me too. I've been crying a lot lately. Being off my anti depressants has been rough on me.

thomas930 · December 2013

@BiggerinRealLife Big ((hugs)). I hope you and your doc can figure out a way to help you.

JessieAlbin · December 2013

@biggerinreallife big hugs to you today, hope the sun is shining where you are and the day looks a little brighter

Megczapla · December 2013

@biggerinreallife thinking of you and I hope you and your doc can come up with something workable to help you feel better!!

Yea, I found the salt water spray. I'm very happy because the last thing I need is to fly with a sinus infection while pregnant. Hopefully this clears up ASAP! (I have until the 6th luckily)

fasting during pregnancy. Makes sense.

Bahhh maybe I should stay off TB today, I'm grumpy.

We've stopped using dryer sheets. We use snuggle in the wash.

Snuggle used to freak me the hell out when I was a kid... dropping into those towels and then disappearing. Totally not okay, lol. Snuggle gives me hives anyways, so I can't use it, but... not seeing that smug little vanishing bears face is good too. Creepy. It gives me the heebie jeebies, LOL.

I've been AWOL all weekend because I'm thiiiiis close to finishing the nursery. DH was on his stretch of days off before another 5 weeks of shift rotations so I kicked it into high gear.

Anyone have any exciting NYE plans? Looks like a night home alone for me. Super lame!

We're staying downtown for 2 nights! I'm excited but wish I could have a few cocktails to celebrate

Neat! Where's 'downtown' where you are?

Washington DC!

I have zero control over our animals.....sigh (:|

katieharpiceland · December 2013

We just bought loads of fireworks to explode of NYE. And stuff to make pulled pork. Pork and rockets in a small town in the north of Denmark!

cgoldian · December 2013

@Lindsay808 where are you having dinner NYE? Anywhere special? We waited too long to make plans (as usual) so are staying in Falls Church this year.

Lindsay808 · December 2013

@cgoldian we're eating at district of pi. It's an awesome pizza place. We waited too long to make reservations and the only other options were expensive fixed menus (me being picky + pregnant = bad news) or district of pi. I can't complain though, I didn't feel like getting overly dressed up anyways! Just not sure what we'll do after yet...

I give props to those who are vegan and pregnant because I'm sure it's hard work. But I assume that they have been vegan for awhile and know how to meet their nutritional needs. I would not suddenly do it for a few weeks during your 6 month of pregnancy, even if it is traditional or for religious purposes. Like you said, pregnant women are exempt because you should be adding to your diet - not cutting it.

Stace0616 · December 2013

Nothing like starting the workday off with a 20min cry because of how overwhelmed you are. Somedays I really wish I could just throw in the towel, or have a little help. I hate working for people who procrastinate and then blame you because stuff cannot be out the door before January 1st.

Also, still feeling scared about seeing my new high risk specialist on 1/9 for the first time. And after losing 30lbs ish, I've put on 12lbs in three weeks which kind of freaks me out that it happened so fast or what the doctor will say after six months of steady loss.

Today needs to be done. I want to be back in my bed with my Snoogle!

Me too. My stash is finally getting bigger though

fourthnlast · December 2013

We have been on the go for a week and a half, every effing day. I'm sick of family, I'm sick of being nice and I want a day to just ourselves. All family leaves Wednesday night...peace out, bitches!

fourthnlast · December 2013

I had this creepy dream last night and I can't stop thinking about it. In the dream I had cancer, but they didn't know where or how advanced. After spending a few days in the hospital, they said I would have to have a complete hysterectomy and they had to deliver the baby ASAP to do the surgery. In my dream I was only 24 weeks (which I am right now) and she was SO tiny. I don't remember if she lived or not or even if I lived or not. Totally creeping me out this morning.

eireyes · December 2013

The dog didn't even want to get up to go outside and eat this morning, DH had to practically drag him off his bed. I do love taking him to my parents house with us - he always comes back exhausted since he plays with their dogs so hard.

DH and I both know he would do so much better with another dog to hang out with, but I just don't want to deal with two cats, two dogs AND a baby. Looks like he'll have to suck it up a bit longer...

Silly FTM question as I wait until the very last day to enroll in my FSA... I am trying to figure out how much delivery will cost me and I'm pretty sure I have a good estimate. But this question popped in my head: if my insurance covers 48 hrs hospital stay for vaginal delivery, do they start counting when I am admitted during labor? Or is it 48 hrs after birth? If I am in labor for 36 hours at the hospital, I don't want to be kicked out 12 hrs later!!

If I am not mistaken it is 48 hours from delivery of baby. No hospital in its right mind would put you out after having a baby unless they want a lawsuit.

Stace0616 · December 2013

What kind of insurance plan do you have? We just saved my "out of pocket maximum" and figure we'll worry about anything beyond that once it happens. You can usually go on payment plans with hospitals anyway--so that's a whole 6 more months to sock money away in your FSA/HSA.
