FFFC

Well, maybe some flames.

FFFC: I've taken 1/2 a unisom for 3 out of the last 5 nights to help me sleep. I know you shouldn't take it in 3rd tri, but I plan to stop when I finish work at 37 weeks. I think it's more dangerous for me to attempt to drive to work on zero sleep than it is for me to take a 1/2 dose of a cat B drug.

I told DH I ordered some spring maternity clothes for myself and clothes for DD...but I didn't tell him how much (I got really good deals!!!). One of my old navy packages and the Carter's one are both coming either today or tomorrow. I work this afternoon, and he will be home tomorrow. Crap.

Really? Why shouldn't you take it in the 3rd trimester? My OB didn't mention that!

reneewhite90 · March 2014

I just suggested The Bump to an old "friend" who just found out she was pregnant. I did this mainly to have entertainment for the next nine months because this chick is a nut ball and I cannot wait for the snark of the Bump gods to flame her to the high heavens. Oh happy day.

My FFFC: I hate smartphones. In fact, I'm pretty sure that I despise them! It seems every single place I go to is full of people being zombified by their phones.

What is worse: I have a smartphone.

Even worse? I can't give it up because I am too dependent on navigation

So, my FFFC boils down to my participation in American hypocracy!

sheriot · March 2014

I've taken Unisom since about 12w. Never heard it was bad for me or the baby. Without it I wouldn't sleep and I'd be sick as a dog. Hell, even taking it I can't sleep and I still have mild MS (again).

JessElam · March 2014

Spending is under the microscope right now as my DH is between jobs. Well last week or so I ordered a few maternity items from Old Navy when they were having the 40% off dress sale, as well as a boppy cover and changing pad cover off of Etsy. He threw a fit over another recent $30 purchase I made recently that seemed "unnecessary" and "frivolous". My ON package arrived yesterday and I snuck it in and it is hiding in the closet and just am not going to tell him I bought anything and after the 2nd or 3rd time I wear it he will ask "is that new?" and I can say, "Oh, I've had it for a while now." and not feel guilty at all about it. As far as the other purchases off of Etsy...well, it's for the baby and he can't argue with that!

Something about it making baby irritable and jumpy if taken too close to birth. Obviously because birth is the general outcome at some point in 3rd tri, I think they just say not to take it in case baby comes early. I don't think it would be like having a crack baby or something.

TheKittysTitties · March 2014

I don't know my due date, who the father(s) are, or how many I'm carrying. For all I know, I could give birth to a litter of puppies. How awful would that be! [-(

I am have nothing to confirm this. I went 3 pages back on google. Nothing from concrete sources that prove this. Just a bunch of people saying "I heard that this wasn't good", several replies are "well, my Ob said it was ok".

BTW, my Ob said it was ok.

I will take your OB's advice.

BTW I used to have a slight problem with dependency on sleeping pills, so my automatic feeling when I take one is guilt. I feel like I've failed, or I'm giving in. I get worried about developing a dependency again. I'm just trying to be careful about it.

i tried to groom my lady bits the other day, but because I can't see/reach evertyhing it now looks like my belly bump has a soul patch. i hate soul patches.

I've been talking it up to my BFF, who is planning to start ttc in the fall. She's generally awesome, but she is an anti-vaxer and not for legit medical reasons. I neglected to warn her about taking that particular stance around these parts and don't plan to.

Thanks for doing the legwork on this one... I hadn't heard anything about it not being ok in the 3rd tri and I take it pretty much every night for sleep (one pill).

"Refrain from taking Doxylamine Succinate during your last trimester. Medications taken shortly before birth potentially remain in the baby's system after birth. According to the Mayo Clinic, antihistamines are unlikely to cause serious problems, but they can make newborns jittery and cause excitability and irritability"

Ummm what dude? I take it every night, like full pill. My OB and MFM both know.....

I have taken Benadryl since 12 weeks or so as well. My OB said it was fine. I'm not really sure what the difference is between diphenhydramine and doxylamine succiante. I know I wouldn't be able to function without taking it - I no longer take my anti-anxiety medication, and honestly having the Benadryl is the only way I get any sleep at night, otherwise I will be up all night with anxiety and have very poor functionality at work the next day.

So you know that makes the crack baby reference completely understandable....

ABColeslaw · March 2014

H asked me how my contractions were this morning (strict bedrest and medication to control contractions) and asked me if I could handle making some phone calls to like you know places we owe money. I'd rather not, so I told him I was having a bad morning and didn't want to get excited or anything. Lol this morning is going great.

I think they're both cat B.

Maybe I just worry too much. I think I'm concerned about building a dependency again. I had a time last year where I was taking 2-3 different things a night, just to get a few hours sleep. My body went on strike from sleeping for a few months because of stress and it took me a while to wean myself off everything. I was using several different sleeping tablets and antidepressants. i began weaning when i found out i was pregnant the first time, but it turned out to be a blighted ovum. I think that's why I'm paranoid about having this stuff in my system. In my mind taking sleeping meds has a bad outcome.

keeumm · March 2014

I have a zero tolerance policy for people who are victims of circumstances that they can control. I cannot empathize with anyone who complains for the sake of complaining. I have had to deal with this more than I care to this week at work and with family members, and every time I find myself tuning out and ignoring the person. I just can't engage. I fear that it is impacting some of my relationships, especially with family, but I refuse to be brought down by someone else's drama.

Also, I just ate a muffin the size of my head. No regrets.

I still have the two positive pregnancy tests from September sitting on the back of my toilet. I kind of feel like they're good luck charms. I can't bring myself to throw them away until LO gets here safely. :-??

reneewhite90 · March 2014

I'm guessing this won't be "flame free" judging by the craze for these things by this group (which I never understood). But I just made a pack of cinnamon rolls for maybe the second time this entire pregnancy and iced them pretty perfectly, if I do say so myself. They sounded good when I put them in the oven, but I'm just not feelin' them now. A whole pack of perfectly iced cinnamon rolls just sitting there untouched, where they will probably stay all day now. Maybe I can convince DD to eat one when she gets home from school?

Flame away you cinnamon roll lovin' bitchez. Flame away.

Luckyu317 · March 2014

I think my SIL is an idiot because she already turned our 4 month old nephew's car seat forward facing. Why? ''Because he cried so much when we put him in it''.

I have a dark FFFC. I am terrified that something will happen to LO, and I will experience a late loss. I have no history of anything wrong, but I am so worried! I know it's probably unfounded, but still...

I have mine too, though they are in the cupboard.

I also used to keep paper charts in addition to FF and I had a "charting pencil" that lived in the folder with the paper charts. I'd sharpen it at the beginning of each cycle. I refuse to sharpen that pencil again until the baby is here. Went to do it once a while back and just couldn't quite get there.

Stupid and illegal. I'd be sending her links to horrific accidents where babies who were front facing too soon were killed.
