As far as I know, I'm the only one she knew dealing with infertility issues, not saying she doesn't know anyone else dealing with it either. But I don't get the defensive thing. Her responses are always "What baby?" yet we know she's still pregnant. If she has other friends dealing with problems, then saying things like that is worse.

OK, I will concede that this is strange. Nobody asked me before I went public if I was pg, so maybe before I was public about it I would have denied it. Now I did instruct family to keep it off of FB until I decided to go public, and they all complied. So unless she's specifically not public with it, then I don't get it. If she's trying to keep it off FB, she should send a private message or email to everyone she knows telling them she's not going public at all or just not FB-public about it. There's nothing wrong with her wanting to keep it private, but if people know and she's publicly denying it, that's just odd. I'm not ashamed of being pg, I just kept it off FB for work reasons. My family and closest friends knew more/less by 12 weeks.

My best friend is 29 weeks and hasn't told her work about her pregnancy. She obviously doesn't post anything on Facebook. Maybe your friend hasn't shared the news yet?

Yeah, I didn't post on facebook until after I told my boss. I didn't tell him until after Thanksgiving...so I was about 17 weeks.

I don't know how someone would get to 29 weeks without telling, though...actually, I do. My husband had an employee who didn't tell him until she was like 8 months. Then she delivered like 3 weeks later and left him in a HUUUGE bind. He knew for about 2 months before she told him, though...I sometimes think people are covering something up when they really aren't.

Shes 6'1 and barely showing. I don't know why she isn't telling work, but I guess that's her prerogative. She's a teacher due mid April so she needs a sub for a month or so but will be back by fall. Maybe she's waiting for her contract?

Mamazon2014 · January 2014

I was supposed to be studying for my bio test that was today. I literally did nothing the last two days other than start watching Buffy the Vampre Slayer from the first episode on Netflix. Didn't even open my Bio book.

Fast forward to this morning and I end up getting a 104% thanks to my prof's grading scale! I seriously lucked out with this one!

I agree, that no one knew on FB until 12 weeks or so, and my family knew to keep it quiet until then. But her DH talks about it on FB (like him putting the crib together) and tags her, so I guess she's public. I just don't like the denying part.

Re: Facebook.

I'm not going to lie- I post stuff about my pregnancy on FB. My family lives far away, and if I don't post something about it then I have to deal with more phone calls than I want to answer. I also believe in the power of positive thought, so if I put out there that all is well, it means that all will be well.

--I bought a candy store size box of strawberry sour belts (ok, ok...I bought TWO)...and I am presently ruining my taste buds with them, making weird, twitchy faces every time I eat one, but eating way more than I should...

--I ate FOUR Rice Krispies treats before I even got on the train this am. The fourth I wasn't even sure I wanted...until there was nothing left.

--I may have "embellished" my husband's new snoring issues. It makes him feel bad enough to let me sleep in our glorious new king-size bed alone during the week while he sleeps in the guest bedroom.

--I have not bought one useful thing for this child yet other than adorable onesies that will keep him properly clothed for like two days.

delatl · January 2014

Re: Facebook. Yeah, it's kind of strange she doesn't seem to want to even admit she's pregnant. But I'm one of those who hasn't said a word on FB yet. At first, it was because of my previous loss and going through infertility. Not only am I anxious about this pregnancy, but also I have more awareness now than before about how one woman's pregnancy can make another woman feel like crap. Now, I've debated sharing about it but mostly just haven't been inclined. I don't post very often anyway. I figure I will definitely share something when the baby is born and that will be that.

My confession: I was irrationally annoyed with my DH tonight when he asked me if I was cooking for dinner. Even though I said earlier in the week that I would. I just wanted to say, "Look, I'm 25 weeks pregnant, and still doing a ton of shit around the house. How about you pick up the slack a little?" The bad thing is, he is really picking up the slack already. I just wanted more. I think it's just Friday and I'm exhausted from the week. This weekend will be better. We're going to try to make it a mini staycation weekend and go to a couple movies and out to dinner.

pistolpackinmomma · January 2014

I bought a new toy. It was delivered today so I tried it out. I'm not impressed. I'm hoping it will be better when used with DH instead of solo.

Been about the same here. I must also add -TMI- DH been very lax on his manscaping. I mean FFS if I can figure out how to shave myself at least once a week get on board dude. It's like a bad 70's porno in that joint. His excuse is always "I've been busy and tired". I'm growing a demon in my belly, I haven't seen my vag in well over a month, and every time I even remotely bend over or slightly squish my midsection I want to toss cookies or pass out. Fuck you and your "tired and busy".

lv2011 · January 2014

1) I go back to the MFM on Monday for a cervical check/ placenta check, and I'm really REALLY hoping they tell me that those are fine and we can have sex finally! It's been wayyyy too long.

2) My rear-end hurts so badly from an earlier bad bathroom experience. I seriously thought I may have birthed my intestine.

3) The little lady has been moving much less today, and I'm worried I may have hurt her in the attempts to relieve myself, even though I know that logically she's probably just having a quiet day.

Snikle512 · January 2014

Ok let me start off by saying this, I love my dogs. Very much. I waited to get them until I thought I was done having children and they are now almost three years old. That being said, they are very spoiled. One of them does not like water and hates bath time. Said dog slipped under the fence today and came home smelling like death. Being the only adult in the house I couldn't even leave her outside like I would have liked to and had someone else bathe her. So I put this naughty dog in the bath tub and scrubbed her twice to
Get the smell out and once just to be a bitch because I know how much she hates being in there. Said dog is now sitting pouting because she had to take a bath and I might do it again after she dries off just to make sure a of that smell is actually gone. And I will enjoy every second of her sitting like
Someone just molested her hahahaha

I would die after 3 weeks of no action! Waiting the 6 weeks pp was rough!! So was the first tri pelvic rest with DS but other than medical reasons I could not do 3+ weeks! much less months!

reneewhite90 · January 2014

My mom found out DS was born from SIL posting it on FB. My mom was with my through my entire induction and labor process. She left ONCE to go down to the cafeteria because I had just gotten my epidural. SIL came back to check and see how things were going. Within 15 minutes I was asking for my doctor saying I needed to push. It happened so quickly no one even believed me at first. They checked me and sure as hell... There DS was. They sent SIL to the waiting room and told DH to get ready. Our hospital plays a little lullaby tune over the PA in L & D whenever a baby is born so as soon as SIL heard the tune in the waiting room she felt the need to post on FB. Which then resulted in my mom's sister seeing it and calling my mother (who was still in the cafeteria) asking how everything went.

She was NOT happy and still brings it up to this day. Not too fair considering I can't help what my dummy SIL posts on FB. But ever since then I have been VERY cautious about what and when we post things on any social media.

yvanehtnioj · January 2014

I have like 3 inches of roots. I get used to get my hair highlighted so it's not like a skunk stripe but definitely enough to make some people wonder why the hell I'm so lazy.

awknyc · January 2014

I'm not sure if this would qualify as a FFFC but just had to share because I cannot tell anyone at work about this without them treating me like I have a disease afterwards. I was going to the bathroom at work and I usually keep my building ID & business cards in my back pocket. Yup, finally after all these years they fell into the toilet as I was about to flush. I was debating on just flushing it but if there ends up being a clog, there is clear evidence with my name and picture that I did it. I had to fish my building ID out of the toilet and threw the business cards in the sanitary waste basket. I then washed my ID & hands 5 times and headed to a meeting where people were asking me if I had any business cards to give them. Trust me, you don't want them! Luckily it was #1 and not #2, but still...

This. Exactly this, and it made me so sad

Mimaloo · January 2014

I had a snow day on Wednesday and really, really wanted a cookie. Since the roads were bad, I figured I'd make cookies.

My confession is that I think I sat there and ate more of the raw cookie dough than was actually used to make the cookies. It was just so freaking good that I couldn't stop myself! ::hangs head in shame::

I had a check up with my OB today. I'm up 6 pounds total from my pre-preg weight. And I've been eating like a pig. No one seems to want to hear that around here, but I'm pretty proud of it, so don't mind if I do a little dance \:D/

But really, I'll just be over here, bitterly watching your happy dance while I eat gnocchi.

I think that just might be the best compliment I've ever gotten, haha. I'm flattered!! (...and horny!)

lavendergiraffes · January 2014

I secretly would LOVE to be put on bed rest although as of now I'd have no reason to. I hate my class this year and dread going to school every day! I had Monday off for MLK day and a "cold day" Tuesday and Thursday. I have to be the laziest person I know. All 3 days all I did was watch Dexter on Netflix, eat and play on my iPad. I could literally do that till this baby comes and feel fine about it. I don't want to finish out this year!! Obviously I want a healthy pregnancy but I'm wondering if I can ask my ob to put me on bedrest....

(Monday and Tuesday are supposed to be cold too, maybe we will have more days off!!!)

cnbean · January 2014

DS has started climbing out of his crib. But I really don't want to convert to a toddler bed yet. Why? Because I'm too lazy and tired to want to deal with the transition.

Bad mom right here.

Oh honey, no. Don't borrow trouble. There are a few people on here who actually have to be on bed rest, and I would bet that they would tell you it's more fun in theory than in practice. You typically don't get prescribed bed rest unless you or the baby are in danger, so while I totally get the desire to be lazy and relax, I doubt that you'd be very relaxed in that situation, you know?

Oh, I totally get that. It's just the only excuse I can think of not to finish out the school year! I've been told by people who have experienced it that it sucks and I probably would hate it after a few days, however, I want to put myself on it just so I can be lazy and be done with this horrible class! I could be lazy all day every day-which kind if concerns me for the future. But I gotta get it in while I can! :-)

I understand what you are saying and that you are not trying to be insensitive to us actual bed rest mommas, but let me tell you... You do NOT want this. As soon as someone tells you that you HAVE to lay there and not do shit, you'll go nuts. I'm going on two weeks of not being able to do jack shit, including lifting my two other kids that I miss more than anything in the world.

Oh- and if you don't listen and pick them up anyway or do anything against what the say you end up in the ER, which is where my ass landed tonight.

Moral of the story? Do not wish bed rest on yourself. You'll be so freakin' pissed when/if it actually happens.
