Rant & morning question!

Apparently the drs think I'm crazy for refusing cervix checks and I think they are crazy for offering them. Come the fuck on you are causing me pain & contractions and when I don't have the checks the contractions go away. This is "the best hospital" in the area yet no one wants to let me go home. Heard from NICU specialist & fetal sonogram doc that this little man is healthy, no cord around his neck, had another anatomy scan to be doubly sure he just might want to meet us early. Oh yeah and the contractions? I DONT FEEL THEM. Some women contract often and some are dilated sooner every pregnancy is different and it's been explained to me a million times by a million different docs. But why can't I go home? How bad is it to sign myself out of the hospital against medical wishes? I feel like that's an F on my report card in case I ever have to come back here... [-(
They should definitely be giving you clear explanations as to why they're keeping you. I'd be pissed.

Exactly this, demand to know why they are keeping you and if your doc does not comply, ask for their supervisor.

How are my lovely ladies today? I hope everyone is doing well, babies be popping up all over the place. This shit is scaring me a wee bit.
I did decide that mother nature designed our pregnancies to be miserable by the end so that we wouldn't give two shits about caring for a baby after, we just want them out.

@aronie82 good luck!! T&Ps

DH is in the ER now...doesn't appear to be his appendix. They are testing him for a bunch right now. I feel so horrible for him

@aronie82 GOOD LUCK!

@jellysparkles @Serenla I finally got it out of a nurse that all my drs have been residents besides the fetal specialist I saw yesterday. They all look alike address themselves as drs.. I demanded to speak to the fetal dr I spoke to yesterday because apparently she's in charge. She's also the one who finally let me eat yesterday after almost 48 hrs so I'm hoping I can convince her to let me go home. They are saying he has occasional dips in his heart rate but it always comes back up quickly. But yesterday the fetal specialist said that his placenta is in front of his chest and essentially when he cuddles with it it could restrict his heart for a second until he relaxes and she said its prob just the way he's laying right now and he will move it or shift and it wasn't a concern of hers. So I'm praying I see her early enough today to get released I'm so frustrated. My cousin is a nurse midwife who I strongly considered going to but it didn't make sense distance wise as her delivering hospital is an extra 30 mins from mine I was originally scheduled at. That being said the high risk hospital I'm at is 15 mins from her hospital so if I can make it here I'll make it there. If I don't get straight answers today I'm signing myself out going to my drs office and requesting a transfer of records to her. She is baffled why they are keeping me here and why they insist on doing cervix checks. So here's to hoping... Thanks for letting me rant I feel like drs think I'm being selfish that I don't want to sit here if I'm going to sit anywhere it's going to be at home with my 2 year old. I have more then enough people there to help as my SOs parents live next door and his mom doesn't work.

Good luck @aronie82‌! @Tferr02‌, hope they figure out what's wrong with him and can make him feel better quickly!

katieharpiceland · March 2014

@Tferr02 I hope its all ok!!

sking72 · March 2014

@tferr02: Hope your DH is ok and that it's just sympathy pregnancy pains.
aronie82: good luck!!!!

And anyone else that needs luck or prayers or whatnot, I send them to you.

SO's neice is having a birthday party the 29th of March so he texts me this morning: "I'm going to be exhausted from my double shift, and I know you have a Mary Kay thing that day, but if you want to come out after that, if you're not in labor"
No way in hell. His sister is two hours away from me. And we already gave LO permission to come that night or the next day. Not loading up the dogs and risking going into labor that far away with the dogs, thank you!

I was telling SO about a dream I was having where he was being a huge jerk. Then halfway through telling him the dream, I remembered it wasn't him in the dream, it was my ex...awkward. I left that detail out.

RocksInTheWater · March 2014

@aronie82 Good luck girl! Keep us posted.

@Tferr02 I hope they find out what's wrong with YH and that he feels better soon.

@kescomb17 I agree with you 1000% and then some. Cancer sucks!

Your gif is exactly how I feel about winter this time of year. Wouldn't it be great if we didn't have to be adults and could just let loose in a full out tantrum on the ground like this sometimes?

Going to L&D. Had a big gush of clear fluid and some continued small leaking. Back hurts a little. Doc said go get checked out. 2 poops this morning!

Good luck mama! Maybe this is me being vain but is the 2 poop reference because I pooped 4 times!? I hope I didn't freak everyone out!

So today is the day I find out about the future of my job...this was supposed to happen a month ago and they kept postponing it. 5 more hours...ahhh I could honestly vomit.

Careful.. If you vomit you're in labor

Good luck!

kseccomb17 · March 2014

@dani+california‌ fx for good news!

katieharpiceland · March 2014

I haven't pooped this morning. Should I ask for an induction since I'm obviously not in labor?

So many babies!
Is A14 on a Powerthirst binge?

Will they run as fast as KENYANS?!

sking72 · March 2014

@mamamonzo: gotta admit, I was freaked out when I pooped five times yesterday. More so because I spent an hour on the phone with my mom and most of what she said was "No she's coming early, she's definitely going to be early. She's not staying in there til 39 weeks..." (which is the earliest ideal time for her;]) And that it was a huge snow storm with all the roads and thruways closed, so the poop was just the cherry on top.

but yeah, now I'm just going to be thinking of you when I poop...Congrats?

DH is now hooked up to IVs and passed out and I'm starving!! Poor decision to rush here to be with him and not grab breakfast on the way. I don't feel like I can leave him to find any food. They haven't given him a call button for help, every time he has had to go to the bathroom they expect me to get him in his wheelchair and take him down the hall and help him go. I can't lift him!

Bluebird2318 · March 2014

@aronie82 Good luck!

tamaraaaa · March 2014

Speaking of tantrums, I will never ever ever have a caboose baby again! WAHHHH... I want to be in labor and meet my baby soon (under normal and healthy conditions where I'm far enough along and there isn't a concern).

I am so sick of this shit, at least it is only supposed to be a dusting.

Eta: I turned around to look out the window and I'm guessing we have 2" already. Well fuck you too weather.

You shouldn't have to do that. Go to the nurses station and bug them to get him a call button immediately. You're pregnant and you need to eat to keep up your strength to watch after your husband. Also, they probably just forgot. You have to remind them, strongly, but nicely!! Its not your job to lift him at all! In fact, they'd be setting themselves up for some trouble if something happened to you while doing their job. Go get that call button set up!

I have to admit I was feeling really sad last night like I wasn't part of the club anymore. Almost like I didn't fit in with you guys. Then I see all your comments, you loves and I feel like I'm still in the club, just ahead of the curve! Totally irrational hormones setting in! I can't stop gushing about all your support and love! DH is amazed at all the love tits his pictures get!

I will continue to AW my kid until someone tells me to stop. He's just so fucking cute!!! And tiny. He's down to 5lb 3 oz but doing great!

Love you all pics later!! Also, I'm on y phone! I give permission to an RTT to link my birth story to the announcements thread! I just can't do it! Xoxoxo

eireyes · March 2014

@Vinny424, I like your sense of humor - it matches my slightly less refined one as well!!

kseccomb17 · March 2014

It feels like im going to push this kid out every time I sneeze.

All the "I really really really REALLY don't want a c-section" comments get really annoying. I get it, it's major surgery, people worry about recovery, blah blah blah. But for the most part, it's really not that big a deal.

That's probably a UO a day early.

This. Thank you!

fourthnlast · March 2014

ColleenSwerb said:

Yea, I know, like I said, UO. Probably should have just kept it to myself.
I totally understand the fears and stuff. And it is major surgery, I can not/do not deny that.
I was even really freaked out during my section myself.
I don't know. Like I said, probably should have kept it to myself now that I've pissed people off.

I'll tell you what bugs me is that people that DO end up with needing a c-section and then complain that they didn't have a "real birth." Sorry. Still a real birth. I don't care how this baby arrives, as long as she's alive, happy and healthy and I live to tell about it. It's a real birth. I'm sure this is a UO as well.

Well damn, between diarrhea a few times last night and vomiting this morning, I must be in labor.

ColleenSwerb said:

@TallaB - I'd never had major surgery, and my incision completely freaked me out (it's ok everyone, you can call me a hypocrite for being annoyed by the no section stuff, I totally understand). The staples were only for a few days and weren't really a big deal. They were covered up unless I was taking a shower, and then removed before I was discharged (which seems to be pretty standard practice). So I barely had to deal with staples at all.

I only had staples with my first and unfortunately I developed an infection, but with my 2nd and 3rd section, they just used stitches and really the recovery wasn't nearly as bad as the horror stories make it.

(wait am I in labor?!?!)
I'm late to this but..... Only if you poop 4 times in a row

I pooped twice in a 20 minute period and legit freaked out for a second!

tamaraaaa · March 2014

FX please-I have a phone interview for a small job that I would really like to get. They called last week and upon learning about my situation (we are currently living across the country and not moving until after the contract was supposed to start) they said they would be interviewing and if they didn't find anyone would keep me in mind. Last night I got the email to call them today to discuss, so I'm hoping I can convince them I'm just so awesome that they need me, even if it's later than they expected.

These are the times I wish I could magically predict when this baby is coming so we could plan this move...
