10 days to go ...... No patience

Fwelsh · June 2014

I am due the 16th and feel like a whale! Only have two outfits that fit comfortabley that aren't pj's. Praying that every twinge is going to be the start of labor. Anyone else feel like this??

MrsCase1 · June 2014

@lizardbreath14 LOL! That was....emphatic.

Read247 · June 2014

No. I love it.

I feel so sexy.

And I have so much energy I want to dance.

I hope I stay pregnant forever.

Not everyone is as super lucky as I am... You'll find them on the daily symptoms thread:

I definitely have moments of feeling like this. I just try and remind myself that it's so much better for her to stay inside me as long as possible, and that 10 or 20 days really isn't that long in the grand scheme of things.

chaysefaith · June 2014

I'm feeling pretty fucking awesome. Thanks for asking!

ElTrain5 · June 2014

Let me just head this one off....I'm betting you "came here for support"? Amiright?? Welp, you may want to check out this other site....

I was due yesterday. Get over yourself!

sparklenshine_89 · June 2014

Just bc you're due in "ten" days doesn't mean you'll give birth then. You could still be pregnant until the end of this month. Good luck.

Love how you slipped that in at the end. What a work of art.

crhein26 · June 2014

@fwelch - I'd also like to kindly remind you that there are many women here who delivered their babies really early and they ended up in the NICU for weeks and some who have lost their babies yet still hang out with us because we are awesome. So you really should be careful about who you are crying to about wanting your baby out.

Also, lurk before you post! I have zero patience for people like you!

I feel like people ask "is anyone else feeling like this?" at the end of AW posts so they can pretend they weren't AWing but just trying to find a friend. We can see through your shenanigans.

Yep, I was due yesterday, I would give anything to feel huge and uncomfortable instead of sitting here wondering when the hell I get to take my baby home cause he is still stuck in the NICU after 12 weeks.

ChristinaV2244 · June 2014

I know that the read me first post says that the women here are snarky but I don't get it. Maybe it's a generational thing? Yes I feel the same way. It's completely normal to want your body back even though we all know its best to keep baby in there as long as possible. Excitement of the change to come doesn't help. Try distracting yourself. I started watching a new series and have found it to be really helpful.

How could it be a generational thing? Are you implying we are all the same age? How does that matter?

Pretty sure people of all ages get snarky when randoms barge in and go look at me! with no regards to anyone else. Also who are you? Maybe if you were part of this board even semi regularly you'd "get it"

Read247 · June 2014

Oh screw it. Based on her posting history looks like we've got ourselves a white knight ladies.

@ChristinaV2244‌ - you read the newbie blog, huh? Awesome! Good for you. Reading comprehension not your thing is it dear?
Did you miss where it said:
"This is the culture of the boards, and despite your best efforts there will likely be little you can do to change it."

Or how about the part that said:"The June 2014 board is just like a community, and like in a regular community you cannot expect to walk into a room full of strangers and expect to get support."

Did you make it to the bottom where it lists our daily threads? Because this post could have gone in the "daily symptoms thread", the "Thursday throat punch thread," or the "random aw/SS thread."

We're at the end of our pregnancies. Obviously we all feel like shit and are anxious to meet our little ones.

Personally, I don't want to miss a labor or birth announcement because some random dropped by with a look at me! Thread.

if you don't understand that, I'm not sure there is anything any of us can do for you...

ChristinaV2244 · June 2014

Let me be perfectly clear.... What I said was I don't get it. Yes sweetheart I can get snarky too and I don't need a bunch of clips from movies or tv shows to do it. I imagine that someone must have made you feel like you didn't belong somewhere along the way. Does showing respect for those that have been here to bond right along have to include making others feel less than? I'm not trying to be anyone's white night. I just didn't get the same impression that the original poster was trying to say "look at me". I don't expect to change anyone here and I'm not looking for supporters. But I am going to offer suggestions when and where I see fit. A community includes all. Not everyone has the time or the energy to learn this site inside out and to post things where you think they should go. .... Or how often you think they should post.... Geez. Someone new might actually have something to beneficial to say. I appreciate you taking the time to explain why you felt is was necessary to be rude instead of just moving on to the next post. No, I don't think everyone here is the same age but everyone here doesn't feel the need to attack either. What I meant by generational was that it seems like the younger generations have become detached in a tech based world where people aren't people anymore. It's too easy to be rude when there isn't an actual person in front of you.

Back in my day, we were snarky through letters! That was a time when we cared enough about snarking drive-bys to send a note with proper postage! Nowadays you kids just snark with the Google and the emails with your long hair and your rap music. Shameful.

What is beneficial about saying you look like a whale and have two outfits to wear? Yea that argument doesn't work here , sorry sweetie.

tbmadeamistake · June 2014

@Babywear‌ i love you, hang in there mama, you did nothing wrong!!

BMaidPlanner · June 2014

Ditto @Babywear cry when you need to to let it out but don't blame yourself, sending strength and love.

Read247 · June 2014

@Babywear‌ - keep your chin up girlie. You're awesome and we're all here for you if you need us.

Whoever nominated me was right... I'm gonna get banned!
@ChristinaV2244‌ - first off it's called a gif. You know those little picture and clips of movies and/or shows. I don't need them either but they come in handy when people either don't understand your tone or have trouble processing what they've read. Plus I find them entertaining.

Secondly no one was rude to OP. We were sarcastic. (It's this new thing the kids are doing! Do I need to explain that to you too "sweetheart?") Please show me where someone name called or attacked her character, because I never saw that. We told her where to post and joked around with one another. She could start posting right now in other threads and be welcomed with open arms.

"You don't get the impression that the OP was trying to say look at me". Really??? What would you call it when there are 4 other places ON THE FIRST PAGE where everyone else is posting the same thing? To the rest of us it says one of two things: 1-I can't be bothered to learn how the board works or read anything anyone else has to say or 2 - I'm so special I deserve my very own thread.

If you don't have the "time or energy to learn how the board works or where to post" what the hell are you even doing here?!? If you want to throw in your two sense or bitch about a common pregnancy symptom and walk away why not do that to your friends IRL or on Facebook? If you want support and to get to know other pregnant women then it helps to put in the effort. You get out of it what you put in to it.

No one has ever "made me feel like I don't belong somewhere" because no one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Truth be told, I don't care what other people say about me. You can love me or hate me, but it's not going to change the way I feel about myself. If someone says something asinine whether it's online or IRL I'm gonna roll my eyes and respond with sarcasm. Like when someone calls me rude and says "it's a generational thing" when they have no idea how old I am.

Eta: gif because I know how much you love it.

crhein26 · June 2014

@babywear - You stay strong and keep telling yourself, "IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT." There is nothing you could have done to cause your LO to come early. We love you!!!

If I was only going with physical symptoms, maaayyyyybe, but my husband is a procrastinator and there is more I always want to get done before the baby is here- cleaning, planting flowers, reading more books, catching up on laundry, ordering photo albums. Every day is one more chance to get things done before I'm out of commission.

**loved some of those photos above, btw.

I completely agree with all that has been said and I can empathize with the struggle and loss of conception. My point is only that this board does not have a password or secret handshake. It is an open online forum. That isn't the first person to post in the wrong place and it won't be the last. It's easy enough to do. Tolerance is a virtue. I never accused anyone of attacking anyone's character. Things were said like you are just looking for a friend and I don't see what would have been wrong with that? It all just seemed like the cool kids table was full if you catch my drift. Could she have been better redirected? In my opinion yes. We are all mothers or aspiring mothers here. Some people need more help than others but it doesn't make them any less worthy. I'm not going to beat this thing to death. I'm sure we all have more important things to do. For the record I am here to read the truly inspirational stories and the valuable information that is shared. They keep me going.

I said she was acting like she was looking for friends when she really just wanted attention. And I was joking. Chillax, Francis.

Also, there is no secret handshake (although that would be cool), but we have all been together for the last several months, so we've established a community. This poster has never offered support that I can recall.

ChristinaV2244 If you were following along you would know that we have already established that there is in fact no cool kids table. I checked. So if you want to play along, grab your lunch, learn the rules and remember that if this isn't your style one of our awesome MODs provided you with another option.

This. Why must people put others down or be buttholes to them in order to prove a point? New or not, she's a first time mom and just wants to know that she's not in it alone. Jeez. I'm sure you wouldn't want your children to be talked to/about by other children the way you talk about newbies on this board.

Welcome to a game I'd like to call life. Shit is going to happen to my kid out of my control. I'll teach him to make asinine statements and then run away and not come back. There will always be those uninformed that back him up, like you, right?
