FFFC

YankeePeach08 · March 2014

Let's get the game going!!!

My ILs are coming in on Sunday for a week. I've purposely held off on starting to pump and introducing LOs to a bottle b/c I want to "hog" the babies as much as I can. You may remember, during their last visit MIL asked if i was going to BF and declared that she hoped I wouldn't b/c it made me "hog" DS when he was a NB.

kelley72 · March 2014

YankeePeach08- hog away!

My fffc I did use castor oil to see if it would bring on labor with my 2nd ds (13 years ago). I'm not opposed, meeting certain criteria, using it again... but not the whole bottle!

myfriendscallmemeg · March 2014

@Yankeepeach08 Good call on your MIL. What a witch.

Mine: Tuesday I had extra vaginal discharge which I didn't take care of right away since my H & I had to go to Lowes to buy bathroom supplies. Turns out it was enough to wet my jeans and started some serious thigh chafing! I could barely walk by the end of the night. I've got nice red marks on my inner thighs now. Can't wait to explain that one to the OB on Monday!

ProudMommy030614 · March 2014

After a week of irregular contractions and just down right feeling like hell I am violating my no penetration rule and having my doctor check me today at my appointment. H and I do plan to keep this to ourselves so we don't get pestered for the rest of our pregnancy.

I want to throat punch the next random person who texts me "how are you feeling, have you had that baby yet, are you ready/miserable/uncomfortable yet". You didn't give a sh!t about chatting last month or ever really. Don't think we are suddenly BFF's and I'm going to share all the details with you. Im only 38w2d and I'm already super annoyed with the check ins. New people are coming out of the woodwork to annoy me daily now. Pregosaurus is not happy.

cdnmomma · March 2014

I feel really bad for the end of the monthers. I was due march 2 and still no sign of baby, and I've already become bored of the world - tv, mh, and even TB

Oh my goodness, I was so overwhelmed by the texts towards the end of pregnancy and while in the hospital. I could just ignore phone calls but the text alerts taunted me. I think I had around 30 unread texts at one point. I have a FB group I update people! The whole thing was just waiting so I really had nothing to update ever. I appreciate that people cared but his nurses probably thought I lived on the phone. I actually started c&ping responses so everyone got the same exact answer. Haha.

jwls84 · March 2014

I am starving and I said no to going for breakfast with DH and B because my MIL will be there and I don't want to be interrogated about my doctors appointment this week. Why do people think it's ok to ask you about doctors appointments! That is personal shit!!! And none of your damn business.
Anyway she always thinks I am withholding information from her or lying about what the doctor said!

So now I am starving and I don't want to go out in the snow to get food, I should've just went with them!

tsmith312 · March 2014

I have nothing good right now, mines just food related OF COURSE . I stopped for a coffee and bagel this morning. Its one of the owners birthdays today so HR also brought in biscuits and hash browns from Bo jangles. I've had two breakfast's !! haha

AriaAmante143 · March 2014

Today is my first day truly being home alone with the baby and I'm fucking terrified. I know I'm fully capable of caring for her on my own, but I've really needed the company the past 10 days while my hormones are out of control.

BTBergstrom · March 2014

I want to scream I hate you at women having their babies early!! So over being pregnant and wasting a week at home on maternity leave with no signs of baby (due 3/3). Sorry I know I should be happy for you all but secretly I hate you.
I don't want to tell my mom when I go into labor cause she wants to show up at the hospital and I don't want anyone there till after I deliver.
I also feel like ignoring her calls and texts about how I'm doing but if I do she continues to call and text and starts freaking out.
She is going to stress me out!

nblondheim · March 2014

My DH is Catholic. I was baptized Catholic but my parents got divorced and I did nothing with the Catholic religion after that. My DH wants to go to Catholic church. I feel very out of place and uncomfortable every time we go! I don't know all the things to say and I can't go up for communion and feel like I'm the only one!
Along with that, I'm doing the lent thing with DH. I accidentally ate meat on ash Wednesday (I totally forgot) and I didn't give up anything for lent...just added things to do! (be a better Christian, exercise 3x per week, and write a letter each day to someone who has touched my life)

I'm not on Facebook and plan to turn my phone off for the majority of our hospital stay for this reason. My priority is not updating family and friends. I'm just a private person. I get people are excited but they need to respect that they aren't my priority. And the annoying texts aren't winning them any brownie points. Bring me brownies instead...lol. Maybe I'm just cranky from crappy sleep.

kaking78 · March 2014

I am very jealous of all of you ladies who stopped working before your due date. I have no real reason to stop since my job is very accommodating and not physically demanding, but I am over it. Today plus one more week....

kstar83 · March 2014

I just had to buy a 34G nursing bra. Seriously.running out of alphabet. My back is KILLING ME.

My dreams are so vivid that I am pretty sure one last night caused me to puke/pee myself.

This is going to be the longest 3-4 weeks of my life. I hate people. My whole body hurts-ribs are so bruised it hurts to laugh.

Oh and anyone else having people "predict" when you are going into labor? Oh yes, by all means "predict" that my baby will be born 3 weeks early.... Oh but your child pointed to that date on a calendar? It MUST be right! Ill pack my bags! insert eye roll here...

SamJustice · March 2014

A little TMI but... I got my first PP period at five weeks (despite bf'ing/pumping. Booooo). The first two days, I blee worse than the first day after having LO. I was literally soaking the super thick hospital ice pads every two hours. When I ran out, I wasn't in a position to go buy more so... I started stealing DS1's diapers lol They actually worked better than the pads!

*Naea* · March 2014

I tripped and fell going up the stairs at home this morning. Nailed my shin and toes and scared myself a little but am totally fine. However, I am thinking I might be using this reason to leave work by 3 today because I am just so done. Done, done, done.

rockopera · March 2014

Any texts/emails/fb messages get this standard response:

www.haveyouhadthatbabyyet.com

I'm currently being treated for gestational hypertension, but staring down pre-e. H decided to share that with extended family, including that any time after 37 weeks (Wednesday) could be go time. I was a total brat about it and was super irritated. Told him that now we would be on the hook to update people constantly about the state of my uterus and I was pissed. I didn't even tell my parents because I don't want that obligation to other people right now. He thought I was overreacting.

What do you know? Wednesday morning, we get the first "baby yet?" text. I sent that website. And then got great great pleasure out of the "I told you so" that he had coming. He gets it now.

I'm sooo terrified of this also ! DH informed last night that they sprung 10 end of the moth closings on him for work and he may not be able to take ANY time off when LO gets here. This has me terrified bc I'm a FTM and I don't know what to expect with a newborn ! I wonder and worry constantly if I'm going to be a good mom, will I know what to do, will I know what she needs. Its so stressful. I'm sure you will be just fine we are here for moral support

jennbaylor12 · March 2014

We have a Dr appt at 12:40 today. Everyone knows my Dr appts are on Fridays, fam/friends/work alike bc they've been on Fridays the entire pregnancy. Well, I got put on bedrest 2wks ago and my Dr alluded to the fact that if I could make it a couple more weeks he may induce at this point due to BP, swelling, etc. So DH and I are going into today's appt bags packed prepared to not come home without a baby - we haven't told anyone! I know that my phone is going to blow the f up this afternoon if people don't hear from us and I.Don't.Care!! DH and I agree if we get sent to L&D, we're only going to tell his brother and my sister and everyone else can find out once LO has arrived and we're all recovering. Inducting could take hours or days and I just cannot handle being harassed about 'how is going' the whole time. Sorry folks! On a positive note, I may get my LO soon!!

aLsMay24 · March 2014

I used to judge SAHMs when inwas working who would send their older kids to daycare toward the end of their pregnancy and for the first few months. I never imagined in a million years how hard being this pregnant and a 2.5 year old could be. Now I'm just jealous they had the funds to do it!

jwls84 · March 2014

I have another one. Everytime someone tells me they can't wait to have kids and how easy it'll be I just want to take a picture of my living room and send it to them.

ntdane · March 2014

@YankeePeach08, I've done pretty much the same thing. My IL's are anti-BF because they think I'm keeping DH from spending time with the babies. They also told me there's no way I could EBF twins so I like being able to prove them wrong. Keira is helping out too by cluster feeding so much it's almost impossible to pump any sort of stash.

My fffc: I enjoy making my IL's uncomfortable by nursing in front of them.

rockopera · March 2014

@nblondheim Don't feel guilty, we are exempt from fasting and abstinence. It's still weird to me, it keeps popping up in my mind like "oh, crap!" before I remember that I don't have to.

tsmith312 · March 2014

I have another ... Ever since @bunnyfungo mentioned she thought her poop was a prediction she was going into labor. Every time I have a poop I get a little too excited that labor is soon for me , bc I have pretty much been constipated this whole pregnancy !!! ... BUT soo far theres no signs

I'm losing my resolve.

I was tempted to ask this AM because I've started having some contractions too, but decided not to because of aaaaaaalll the reasons we've discussed.

Then when I got into work one of the docs actually ASKED me whether I was dilating (whaaaaa??) and I was SO HAPPY that I didn't have to lie or tell him it wasn't any of his business. I just got to say, "we're not checking" and get out of the conversation.

WIN!!!!!!

matitice · March 2014

I'm really happy my MIL is so in love with LO. She was sick when he was born so she stayed away until she was better. (Much appreciated) But now that she's better she's come to visit 4 times since last Sunday & she stays for a minimum of 2 hours. That first day she was here for 4 hours!! Then she's always offering to watch the baby for us so we can run out for a break. LO is only a week old & I don't need a break yet. If I did need a break then DH will step in to watch our son. I'm pretty much over her visits where she wants to run the show changing diapers, burping baby, & holding him the entire time. I'm sure she'd try to breastfed if she could. Come visit for a little while but refrain from trying to be the 3rd parent thank you.

PS: she's coming again this eve! Lord help me!

walkek85 · March 2014

So at my 37 week appointment my OB said that with the way my body has been progressing (through internal checks) she would be OK inducing me by breaking my water at week 39 weeks. I know that letting labor happen naturally is the best route and the baby should 'cook' as long as possible, but I am sooo over being pregnant and constantly wondering when labor is going to start. Every morning that I wake up and labor has not happened I am disappointed. Today I have been in a particularity snarky mood because of my impatience.

My FFFC is that I may talk to my Dr. about scheduling induction at week 39 so that I don't have to wait anymore. I know, totally selfish but I just want to be done and if the Doc thinks its OK then why not? Flame away!

amandapthompson · March 2014

Oh man I'm gunna sound like a total bitch!
My fffc is that I hate my temp and I want to leave for the day.
The temp that has been training to fill in for me NEVER SHUTS UP. She's come in for the last 2 weeks for 3 days a week. Today is my last day at work and I'm over it all. On top of that, she smells really bad today. I just want to say "see ya boss! I'm clocking out early... Good luck!"

That's not a very good one but it's all I've got lol

Edit to add-- I wore flip flops to work today and brought socks to wear around the office so I didn't have to bend over to put shoes on.

kimberpoo · March 2014

Mine is about food....always the food.

I spend waaaay too much $$ eating out for lunch (nearly) every day. I started doing it shortly after conception because no matter what I would pack, it sounded awful by the time lunch came around. I was super picky. now though, I'm just being lazy. I don't want to pack lunch when I get home from work, I just want to lay on the couch. and mornings are out since I'm not a morning person (although I almost always eat breakfast at home). I could spend that $$ on so many other things. I feel bad about it because DH always packs, although he doesn't have the option to leave work and eat. DH is sooo awesome and pays all the bills and takes good care of me, so I feel bad when I eat out and he eats sandwiches. I often pack it for him (when I'm not working and he is) and I buy good stuff when I grocery shop so he will like his lunches...and he loves sandwiches...idk I just feel bad about it. but I do it anyway. he'd probably be a bit unhappy if he knew how much $$ I waste on it. *sigh* I need to get it together and make myself food. no willpower over here.

Sanibel21 · March 2014

I called out sick today. And my coworkers are still going to have my work shower tonight. I'm only a little nervous about getting in trouble.

kimberpoo · March 2014

oh one more that you girls might appreciate: I was at target and saw the bathing suits. I couldn't resist...I bought an eenie weenie bitty bikini.

and I'm bringing it to the hospital to wear while laboring in the tub.

I'm such a hot mama.

:P

ProudMommy030614 · March 2014

I got a little excited when I got checked at my appointment

Arieltnc · March 2014

My FFFC is that I'm tired of people telling me "it's all worth it." I'm a FTM, so maybe it will be, but I swear if I say that something hurts or that I don't love being pregnant and I get that response one more time I might just go postal on someone. I am sure this LO will be a wonderful blessing and addition to our lives, but currently, this LO feels HUGE and every movement he makes hurts and I want my own body back.

DH has to wake me up for feedings because I sleep through both babies' screams.

This is totally me!! DH goes back to work on Monday and he works nights. I'm dreading it and freaking out a bit!!!

EML2011 · March 2014

A couple of people have already touched on this, but I can't think of another confession. I'm no longer returning texts and phone calls checking up on me. If you didn't call/text me before I got pregnant I'm not updating you. I also didn't give DH all the info from my DRs appt yesterday because I knew he wouldn't be able to lie when his mom asked about it last night.

bunniekrissy · March 2014

I don't know what time ds1 woke up this morning. He was still asleep when I went back to bed at 8 after feeding the baby. I woke up at 9:45 to hear ds1 yelling through the monitor, "Mommy get baby evander!" (What he calls himself.) Hopefully he wasn't awake in his room too long waiting for me... The baby was still sound asleep.

nblondheim · March 2014

NorthernLghts I had no idea pregnant/nursing moms were exempt! That is news to me and awesome! And yes I know it is definitely little in the scheme of things. Just couldn't think of another FFFC!

rockopera I had no idea! Thanks for the information!!!

I just scheduled a c-section and all I feel is relief.
