Let's here em ladies!

I'll start!
This annoying woman on my Facebook keeps posting statuses about her cervix. I don't think me or anyone else needs to know how effaced and dialated you are. She also thinks she's going to have her LO soon because she's 1 cm...I want to crush her dreams but I'm not looking for backlash so I won't.

Between wanting to shave my babies full head of hair, pushing pacifiers on DS "because it's not normal he refuses to take one", telling me I hold my baby too much and I should just let him cry, and trying to feed him formula with rice (he's breastfed) my MIL is driving me nuts and I can't understand how my hubby made it thru his first few years. Oh wait, yes I can. His grandma raised him. Stop with the parenting advice, you've never actually been around young children.

My 4month old does not sleep through the night. Between 9-9 he gets up at least 4 times. He also does not nap longer than 10 minutes unless he is laying on me and even then it's 1 hour tops. I'm so tired. And I get so frustrated and question everything when I read about all if these babies younger than him that have been sttn for weeks/months. I know it's not out of the ordinary, it's just frustrating.

DS, DD and DH now all have the nasty cough. It's awful. DD has a cough and a rash. DH has the cough and a sore throat and DS has the cough and sneezes. Oh and when he sneezes sometimes its formula. I would like this to go away soon.

I have a mole on my right jawline, and another under my hair beside my right ear. I had the one on my jawline checked years ago and was told by a dermatologist that it was not a concern, didn't need follow up, and it didn't need to be removed unless I wanted to for cosmetic reasons. I chose to leave it because there was potential for scarring.

I recently started to worry about the one near my ear. It's hard for me to see it so I couldn't be sure, but thought it might have gotten bigger. I asked my current doctor to take a look. He said the one under my hairline looks fine, but he's worried about the one on my jaw and strongly recommends I have it removed and checked for malignancy. He told me I should have been advised to take photos of it periodically to monitor whether size or shape was changing. He's referring me to a surgeon for removal and testing. I'm pissed at the dermatologist who told me I didn't need any follow up or monitoring.

I know I'm getting WAY ahead of myself and in all likelihood it'll get removed and be benign and all this stress for nothing, but I can't help but worry.

@Hmvbaby14‌ you are not alone! I'm sitting here now having to pee and she is asleep on me again. If I don't get up , she can nap 1-2 hours but if I put her down, she is screaming. Plus, she only sleeps on me at night. She can get 3-5 hour stretches but I get way less. Usually the first hour is spent trying to get her into her own bed and failing miserably. I'm cutting out dairy and fed her by breast today, after dairy free formula for the last 5 days and she just screamed at me after for 20 minutes. I'm ready to give up breastfeeding now too. I feel like I'm doing everything wrong. I can't clean the house or do laundry or wash bottles until dh comes home and he comes home and makes dinner. When he takes her, I just want to rest but need the next set of bottles cleaned so I can feed her again. I just want to take a shower without her crying through it. Others think I'm just "spoiling" her and need to put her down more but there is something else going on and it has been a struggle to figure out what. We actually have a pediatrician appt in the am to discuss how the Zantac is working (or not working enough although her bigger problem is gas she can't pass). I'm going to ask about a GI doctor and see another lactation specialist. I'm hoping I don't lose my supply since I can hardly pump during the day, since I can never put her down . Ugh!!!

@precious72381‌ I think about you often! Mostly because I know we're in this together!

@Rebis58‌ I've had a few removed to be checked. I do have scars from each one. I think it just depends on how they take them off. The ones that were scraped off look a lot better, but hurt a whole hell of a lot more. The ones that were punched out didn't hurt as bad, but each one needed stitches. Those left bigger scars. I haven't had any on my face taken off, but I did have one removed from my hairline on the front of my head and the hair won't grow back. It looks like a tiny bald spot.

I'm sorry your dermatologist sucked and I hope everything is ok. If the by your ear is bugging you, you can always request for it to be taken off. That's what I did with one on my stomach. Good luck!

Thanks @SandFHasse - I appreciate the info/reassurance! The doctor did say I could discuss removing the other one with the surgeon, and I think I will just for my piece of mind. My glasses rub on it and sometimes I catch it with my brush, and it hurts, so even if it is not at risk for becoming cancerous I think I'd like it gone if I'm getting the other one removed anyways.

ETA: I'm not super concerned about the scar. Of course I'd prefer not to have a scar or to have it as small as possible, but it's way back on my jawline near my ear so even if it does scar it's not in a super prominent place. And obviously a scar is better than worrying about cancer forever!

Some girl on my Facebook just posted a status saying she hopes she goes into labor at 35 weeks because she doesn't a want to go to 40. I tried to educate her since ya know she watched my struggle with a preemie and she decided just to be a smartass. Needless to say I want to throat punch her.

This!!! My MIL is full of "wisdom" for us but she and DH's dad were nowhere near my husband as a baby. They did "raise" his two brothers (well until she moved across the US alone when the youngest was 10) but they are both disasters. It's amazing DH is even remotely functional and I attribute that all to him being with his grandparents until he was 5. Soooooo no one here is taking your "advice" - thanks!

I find it so amazing how incompetent my husband is this go around. Totally incompetent and would not last long at all by himself with her, and especially with our son with him. He's WONDERFUL one on one with DS but um no. Oh, she's chewing on her hand, she wants to eat. um no numb nuts, she has two sharp/hard spots on her gums and she is drooling like crazy. It's called teething.he thinks If she is too hot he needs to take her to a cooler place in the house. No. Take her fleece footie pajamas off and when she cools down, put some cotton ones on. She spits up all over both of you? Poor thing. Do what I do. Lay her on the changing table, strip her down and wet wipe her and lay her in the PNP. You change and wet wipe off and giver her a bath. Wait until she is asleep or I come help and hop in the shower. Don't run up the stairs with her in your arms while i JUST got in my bath with a frozen hurricane because you don't know what to do while you drip vomit all through the house and scare the living daylights out of your baby for running so fast with her up the stairs where he could have easily tripped and fell with her.

This is his second child ladies.
