Monday Bitchfest!

CMDR513 · April 2014

My one co-worker/team member is driving me crazy. She keeps on setting up meetings. She actually tried to give me an IEP for the day before my scheduled leave. I have two meetings tomorrow and testing on Thurs, Fri and Mon-Thurs of next week. My last day is supposed to be next Fri.

My HUGE bitch today is even though I love my OB!! Seriously love her, she keeps getting my hopes up of having baby girl earlier than expected. My due date is 5/7 which is when my RCS is scheduled but baby has been measuring large and she has been telling me for months that I won't make it to the end of April because of how big baby girl is, plus I have pre-e. My last apt (Wed) she was having a hard time deciding sending me to l&d because of my bp and contractions or having me go home and rest. She moved my next apt up to her first apt today (mon) and she tells me to bring my bag. So this morning really thinking great this is finally it!!! NOPE!!! After being monitored for an hr and high bp today she sends me for blood work and tells me to go home and rest and come back tomorrow for an ultrasound and more monitoring, and to bring a bag. OMGOSH!!!! Stop toying with me, we know how big the baby is, we know I have pre-e, we know my bp is high... I'm well aware that the longer baby stays in and bakes the better, but stop having me come in every little bit to be told the obvious and stop telling me to bring my bag, it's just mean.

Another one - DH really needs to get thru his head that his phone needs to be on, with him and he needs to answer when I call or at the very least call me right back. He's in denial that while I technically still have 3 weeks, I could go at anytime and will seriously injure him if he doesn't answer when that happens.

Fucking breastfeeding. Holy eff that shit hurts.

@MK1013 - I second your rib pain! It wakes me up in the middle of the night, and usually I end up laying in bed whimpering in pain.

"Vurping" --- I do not know what else to call it. It starts as a burp, but I feel food move all the way up my esophogus, nearly to the back of my throat. Disgusting.

Having to plan my work schedule for my return to work post-maternity leave. I do not even want to think about it. I just want to enjoy this time, fantasize about maternity leave, and hang with the babies (when they decide to be born). I have so many trips away planned, and it totally bums me out thinking I will have to be away from my family as soon as I return to work. I hope DH can work something out with his employer and travel with me and watch the girls during the day, so I can be with my family at night.

I've totally realised when this baby is gonna arrive. 10th May. Why? Eurovision song contest. I watch it every single year start to finish and i just know this little bish is gonna turn up and spoil my yearly tradition. It's definitely gonna happen.

I doubt that you will be thinking about that if baby decides to make their debut that day; however, if it is a TV show and you are REALLY needing to watch it, I bet you could watch while you labor

haylo33 · April 2014

I had my first cervical check today at 36 weeks. My cervix is closed which I expect at 36w, but it is still "long and narrow" and she said "I'm sure you will make it to at least your due date". I knew that would most likely be the case as a FTM but I am working until my due date and the thought of another month is tough. I obviously want him to cook as long as he needs to, I just thought my body would start to prepare. We will see what next week brings!

Mamazon2014 · April 2014

With the horrible storms south of us, we have started getting winds that are blowing pollen around. I woke up to my allergies flared up. My left eye is leaking, my nose is running and my throat is scratchy.

Then today at my appointment, the only available seats were right next to some bitch with a bad cough who didn't know how to cover her mouth. I love my OB but I HATE that they share a waiting room with a doctor's office. 9 times out of 10, there are 3 people waiting for the OBGYN and at least 10 waiting for the general practitioners.

And my last rant is that even though I am team STFI for 2more weeks, I really would not be heartbroken if this kid decided to come tonight. Being almost 36weeks and measuring past 40 sucks. I hurt constantly. I can't stand without pain, or walk without pain and anymore, laying in bed and trying to change positions is painful too. LO is putting so much pressure on my bladder and cervix that there are times it takes my breath away. I am so anxious to get my induction set up so that LO has an official eviction date and I can be rid of the constant discomfort.

My yoga ball has gone a bit flat and the pump for it is broken. The bike pump doesn't have the right attachment so no more yoga ball for now :-(

It's a 5 hour tv marathon of the campest, glitteriest europop you will ever see and we take it VERY seriously here. Well, me and the gay community anyway. She'll just have to keep up in there until all the results have been called.

eghulse · April 2014

I've got another one. My cousin's wife is in labor right now, and my great aunt felt it prudent to share on fb how far dilated she is. I may be a pregnant grouch, but I'm irritated for my cousin's wife! So not my aunt's place to share, especially with people that aren't immediate family! Gah!

Word to the bolded. Last week (37 weeks) I measured 43 weeks I keep telling DH that this kid is literally going to exploded out of me when my skin bursts.

Additional Bitch:
Either my employee is an idiot (likely) who is unable to suss out exactly how much money the parts he orders cost or the person that sold him the parts and "said" it was all one unit is a complete ass (also likely) either way I get to spend extra money after a job has already been sold at a specified price at have my profit eaten away. Either way- f*ck all those involved because I enjoy wondering whether or not DH and I are getting a paycheck this month due to the combined incompetence- seriously everyone is about to get motherf*cking fired up in here. Yep I'm a little irritable and dramatic today.

Vagina watch. Classy. If any relative of mine does that, they will be immediately frozen out of my life.

caballo718 · April 2014

I'm sick of the receptionist at my job telling me I can't go out before May 16 otherwise they have to take me off payroll for 3 days. Really don't care and now I hope I go earlier. Also they've been trying to get me to come back to work for the last 3 days of school. Yea right! Even if my leave didn't go into summer break I'd be out for 12 weeks. I'm sick of my co teacher being incompetent and telling me I need to be a part of June planning and paperwork. I dare her to try to bother me on my leave. She won't like what's said to her. My baby comes when he comes and when he does no one else exists except him, my husband and the dog.

undercoverst · April 2014

I feel like weekly appointment are almost pointless right now. I know she still in there. I know she has a heart beat cause she is moving. No don't check my cervix. Ok I'll call when I'm in labor. Ok thanks see you next weeks.

My dad watches it on satellite every year. It's hilariously tacky and ridiculous.

We're in the same boat sister. Are they going to induce you early? I'm so ready to have this watermelon out of me.

Yes, thank goodness! They are going to induce sometime between 38 and 39 weeks. As of 35 weeks last Thursday, they had him estimated at 8lbs 3oz give or take a pound. Everyone at my OB's office is taking bets to see if he's going to be 10lbs by the time I deliver.

sisterjanet · April 2014

I found my camera! *happy dance* I'd like to thank Monday Bitchfest for reminding me how irritated I was about that, motivating me to go digging through the boxes in the basement again during naptime.

New bitch: I love my mom, and love that she is excited, but she needs to stop telling me that I'm definitely going to go early. "Measuring a week ahead" does not mean "coming a week early." I've told her at least three times that it just means I'm having another big baby. Nor does 3 cm dilated and 80% effaced mean anything about when labor is going to happen. It means my body has a little less work when it's go time, but pretty sure I was hanging out at about these numbers for at least two weeks, maybe a month with Benjamin.

That's why we won't be sharing much info when I go into labor, including the fact that I've go into labor. I'm also going lock down my FB soon so I can't be tagged and others can't post on my wall.

Amen! Big fat waste of time. And my provider is an hour plus away in traffic. Plus the wait time at the office. So a 10 minute appointment consumes half of a day or more.

lavendergiraffes · April 2014

I am so done with work. Not quite done being pregnant (close) but definitely done with work. 9 days left. I can do it!!

SurprisePartySue · April 2014

First off: FTW my life wasn't complete before I had this little girl. That being said..

I feel like nothing can go right!

1. Em was having trouble latching, one nurse basically told me that supplementing is the devil and I need to try harder

* tackled this. Bfing just fine now.

2. My sweet sweet angel now sleep 3-4 hours at a time.. During the day. Then up every hour at night. So I get to listen to DH snore all night while I lay there with a wide awake baby. I've never contemplated divorcing my husband more than I have in the past 6 days.

3. Her weight dropped below the 10% in the hospital and her jaundice levels were boarder line. We had a dr. Appt today and thankfully her weight went up 4onces. But the jaundice level is in the critical now. So we have a home Heath group coming to our house to put her under the lights, she has a blanket she has to be in constantly, and we have to feed every 2 hours, even if she wants to sleep I have to wake her.

4. I was going to cancel my work insurance after I had her because for just her and me is going to be 170 a week. And since I only work 30 hrs I'm classified as ft for insurance but pt for maternity leave. So it's not paid at all. Which leaves me and DH paying out of pocket 680 a month.

Sorry for the rant..

pistolpackinmomma · April 2014

After weeks of annoying as hell contractions I finally got my first cervical check. Sealed up like Fort Knox. A little softening but still very high the dr even said holy crap when he was trying to check. Thanks. I have 2 weeks from Thursday to go into labor on my own before winding up with a RCS. I'm losing hope of my VBAC dreams.

jenb_99 · April 2014

Well...I didn't have anything to bitch about till 7:00 tonight. $:\$

DH has been out of town for business, and we arranged to have a couple of family members come over and help with DS's bedtime because I've been having intense RLP accompanied by strong BH contrax when I do too much. The evening routine around here involves lots of lifting and bending over and is basically the definition of "too much." Tonight was my mom's night, and she knew I wanted DS in the bathtub by 8, but at 7:00 she called to let me know she was going to a 7:15 movie so she wouldn't be here to help till about 9:30. Um...no. Putting an already tired toddler to bed an hour and a half late? Seriously, no.

So I'm sore and tired and pissed. My mom's not usually like that. I honestly don't understand what she thought we were hoping to accomplish by asking her to come help with bedtime tonight. Surely she didn't think I just wanted DS to have a playmate while I relaxed on the couch with a cup of tea. Jeez.

My husband doesn't seem all that committed to trying to quit smoking. He's working on reducing the number, started last week good but by midweek back to normal. I want to be supportive and respect his "effort" but I really don't want our daughter to be in his car if he's going to continue to smoke. Also, the entire hospital campus is smoke free, including parking lots, and it's a huge campus. There is no way I'm going to let him go out for a smoke while I"m in labor. He even tried to hide that his bought a pack yesterday. He can hide a pack all he wants, he can not however hide the smell. bleh.

I can SO relate. my husband smokes too and has been planning to quit for so long, but he just won't commit to it and it's starting to piss me off. i keep pointing out that every pack of smokes he buys is a pack of diapers. he swore he'd quit when i got pregnant, then it changed to before the baby comes, etc. i know it's really hard for him, but FFS stop making excuses and suck it up. i will have a ZERO tolerance policy once the baby comes, that's for damn sure. i really want him to quit before the baby comes, because the last thing i need to deal with is him being crabby and miserable on top of caring for a newborn.

I don't know if this will motivate them but my husband was exactly like this before my pregnancy, we were married 6 years and when we got engaged he was supposed to
have quit smoking. The only thing that finally got him off his ass , was after I told him I was pregnant he found an app that tracked the amount of money he saved by not smoking, money motivates DH apparently more than his promise to me he has now quit for more than 6 months and saved over $700 bucks.

@MeaganStringer‌

My little girl was also jaundice making it almost impossible to get her to stay awake, stay latched and eat. She lost over 10 percent body weight as well. She went under lights and fixed her jaundice, then I supplemented her offering breasts first then formula until she gained 11 ounces back, now we are back to just breastfeeding I pumped during this time to up supply. Idk she is fine, jaundice free and breastfeeding maybe I am the devil?

Katzalia · April 2014

Thanks ladies, some of your snarks made me lol as I'm up with BH and fun pelvic pain. Glad I'm not the only one ready to rawr!

Nearly killed MH this morning. I was trying to talk to him about something baby-related. And he got really irritated and told me he just wanted to carry on with his life and his routine. After LO keeping me up 11-1 last night and then waking me up for the day at 4.30, and, oh, all the rest of the worries and discomforts of late-stage pregnancy, you really think it's a good idea to tell me now how YOUR routine is getting interrupted?

My ribs hurt so, so bad. Seriously. Something is catching every time I move and it gets me so close to tears every time I move. In fact, it hurts so much that I now move differently out of habit with hopes that it won't "catch" or that I won't hit the nerve/muscle, whatever it is.. Still happens.

You may have a rib out if place. I had that problem a lot with DS. He was a low rider but liked to float up long enough to push a rib out and go back to his low spot. The chiro is my BFF while pregnant.

cstan663 · April 2014

I know it's Tuesday now but bah, I wanted to complain anyway. We have a baby shower set for the 10th and so far 3 people have said they could come... and 2 of them are hosting the thing. Seriously what is the point...

Xath · April 2014

@mkquinnwedding‌ That happened to a friend of mine and it turned out the main water line from the street had burst between the street and their house.

usernewname · April 2014

I have one now. It's Tuesday but you can bitch if you want to haha.

I cleaned my whole house yesterday, including the floors. Now the condo board wants to fix our well. Goodbye clean house. Hello drywall dust. Ugh.
