All these early babies are making me a tad nervous.
I'm 36w1d and my son was born at exactly 37w and I've been feeling similar to how I felt right before I had him: nauseous, crampy, loose BMs, and major insomnia roughly 4 days before he decided it was time to make his debut. Not that those truly mean anything but it's very familiar. Never had timeable BH before either, so that was definitely a new thing for me last week, even if nothing came of it.
Actually, I lie. I'm not really all that nervous, but I'd like to have this one bake a little longer than 37 weeks; 38-39 would be nice. We shall seeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Yeah they are making me a bit nervous as well! Some of my kiwi FB group have had theirs... 36 weeks! My LO has to stay put until 37 weeks or I have to go to the big hospital...

Oh, I know. If she does come before 37 weeks (or at any time, really), I'm hoping no NICU time is needed or I'll have to transfer hospitals.
Ah same boat! Go to slep now luckysquare! You entertained me! Now im going to try sleep!

My train of thought this morning: "I don't remember a thread called whatthefuckever. But apparently I have viewed this before and there is new stuff. ... Oh, snap! This is awesome!" My brain is super motivated to make a milkshake, take a video of myself drinking said milkshake, turn that into a gif, and post it to HDBD.
Still no flags for abuse, but I did notice I got a spam one. For RickRolling anyone who thinks I would actually provide a handy quiz to tell if you are in labor or not. I'm keeping that one, it's like awesome proof that I successfully rickrolled someone in 2014! Welcome to the internets, whoever flagged me. Thanks for the offer of street cred support, but I'm ok with my rickroll spam now that I noticed it.
I totally love that you rickrolled someone. I would totally keep that one!
@sking72 I don't honestly know her that well she went to high school with me so I accepted the request and then immediately regretted it after she stalked me about Mary kay. Totally inappropriate for Facebook lol she shares a lot on fb though
Yeah I know her through Mary Kay, her mother in law is my director. I try so hard not to spam people's facebooks with my business, mostly because I find it annoying that she and some of my other friends do it so often! Definitely an over-sharer. I find it hilarious though that this world is small enough that I talk about a random facebook status on the bump and there is a mutual friend! Haha
Finally called my insurance today about breast pumps and how much the hospital will cost. Probably good because I'm due in THREE AND A HALF WEEKS! SO and I realized it was time to buck up and get stuff done after looking at the calendar last night and realizing what little time we had left! AHHHH
Why do my boobs look so good? Then I peed on a stick...
Hi gorgeous gals! I am catching up in RTT daily but my momma is in town from AK, so I have not been posting much, just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your wit and pregnancy humor. Xoxox! Going for a growth scan and an OB visit, so I will prob HDBD later.
I have funfetti cupcakes with sprinkles. You may all be jealous, now.
I do too! I made them for DH's bday today! They're is fav.
They are my DH's favorite too, so I made some a couple weeks ago, but they're gone now. His birthday is Sunday though, so I see another confetti cake in my future. I still have two unopened cans of rainbow chip foraging that are going to expire soon and need to get used! I will probably be in mourning once the last can is gone though.
I've been away and I'm sorry I'm trying to divide my work duties among the department because this company refuses to hire help for when I'm gone. It's been like herding fucking cats.

Today is one of those days that I'm angry at everything. It doesn't matter what it is. I was legitimately angry at the sun for being so bright this morning. Now I'm angry at The Bump for making social groups and having the little award icons. I really just need to go back to bed!
I was like that all day yesterday. Everything was fuck this. Fuck That. Fuck you. I went to bed at 8.
So...I hope I like the Lansinoh disposable nursing pads. Considering I accidentally ordered and received 4 boxes of a 60 count. Woops, I need to not be so sloppy with the one-click on amazon prime. It's just so damn easy!
I'll be using those at first and then moving on to washables.
A FB friend of mine just updated her status about getting her Implanon birth control device removed...I mean good for you but did the internet world really need to know?
I recently had a friend post about her first pp period.. ew. UNFRIEND!
I hate making phone calls and for some reason I've been putting off calling the hospital and finding out when the next L&D tour is.....I'm not sure why I find this so terrifying and I don't have much time left
~Missed MC at 8 weeks. D&C at 12 weeks on 4/17/13~
Is it possible to have too many swaddle blankets? How many is an appropriate amount? Debating on if I need to return some.
I have a 4 pack of the A&A swaddle blankets, plus a few swaddle sacks. I think that's plenty. My SIL had like 50 swaddle blankets, I don't know WTF for.
So I know you ladies are always posting "1st world problems" but since I am currently living in a 3rd world country I have a 3rd world problem...
We are having crazy power shortages here in Southern Africa and its so frustrating!!! Thursday-6 hours, Friday-9 hours, Saturday-12 hours, Monday-6 hours, Tuesday-3 hours and today 3.5hours!
I teach at an international school here and we are a technology-based school so no power leads to a lot of changing lessons on the spot and no prep (since its all online/iPads/smartboard planned)
Ridiculous power cuts and 8 months pregnant really gives me a short fuse!
Dumb c-section question - how do showers work after c-section? Do you have to avoid getting the wound wet? I've never had a major wound that needed particularly special care, and I'm not expecting a c-section, but I'm just trying to stay as informed as possible.
They give me this little waterproof thing that I wear in the shower until the steri strips and stitches are removed. Usually the nurses have to help me shower the first couple of times because I'm useless.
Do I live in Michigan or the fucking north pole? So far it's been a good snow day, slept until 9, DH is working from home, but dammit. I want to go out to lunch and it's just not going to happen

Oh you just made me miss home-Michigan. I was born and raised there! Enjoy your snow day!
Our hospital charges 35$ for a tour ... My bff was induced yesterday and I totally made dhcome with me to bring her snack food andsome magazines so that he could see where to go without paying the money. But poor girl has now been at the hospital labouring for 24 hours and still sitting at a 3. I can't imagine how frustrating that would be...
Seriously they charge for a tour? That seems silly to me! Are you in Canada?

Yeah I am. It's one of the top maternity hospitals in the area...but always busy so I assume it's so they can better manage the numbers of people walking through...the local small hosp didn't charge but I have reasons for not wanting to deliver there
