What did I miss/when did we get a Facebook group? Not looking to join, just didn't realize that actually happened. Must be why no ones asked about it in a while...
I just got a phone call to confirm my Monday RCS. They said I can't wear makeup. I'm like "you mean...not even on my face?" "It says no makeup." Oh. I'm irrationally sad about this. I'm not a big makeup wearer, but always have something on. FWP.
I wasn't told anything like this for mine. You better believe I took the time to do my hair and put on some makeup. It's not like I did a full face of over the top anything, but definitely had some eye liner and mascara on.
@kenziebug22 I used to get leg cramps all the freaking time. Do you think you may be a little dehydrated? Try drinking some water and just stretching out your leg slowly. I hope it goes away. Those shits are the worst.
I dont think i am and ive been drinking more since it started, its better but can still feel it, damn leg

I've been told the same thing. I will probably at least put on a little powder and mascara the morning of. What are they going to do -- inspect my face and then make me wash it off?
@SuperTinkerham this is my fifth pregnancy. With my 3 miscarriages, the boards weren't fits for me. Bitchy, snarky, nuts or dumb. Back in 2009ish, there was an onslaught of moms trying to make a name for themselves on the Bump to be the next hot mommy blogger and trying to outsnark one another (I'm looking at you "Blair").
With my daughter, I enjoyed my monthly board, but left after all the mommy wars and it became too much time wasted on the FB group.
I've always felt like this board was a great fit for me. I like how this is a smart, witty group and not downright mean. Just witty!
question for ladies who have been on prior BMBs, are we (7/2014) extra snarky or about the same amount of snarky?
Great question but my FTM answer is... I don't give a shizz... It's the perfect amount of snark for where I am in life. I even find myself saying "snarky" in conversations now.

This is super tame compared to July 2011. We practically ate our young. The fights were amazing. This is nothing.

So the thread I crashed is about natural remedies for GBS. The OP links to a post where the blogger says that washing her vagina with apple cider vinegar everyday plus putting a clove of garlic there overnight was part of her successful remedy for getting rid of GBS prior to labor. In what world is raw garlic in your vagina natural?? Did the woman have a vampire infestation up there previously? I realize that produce is natural and vaginas are natural, but that does not mean produce in your vagina is natural.
Years ago I used a one-day yeast infection treatment and I thought I was going to need a crotch-ectomy, the burning was so bad. So the next time I used a natural method, whole garlic cloves. It worked but I had to do it for a long time (> 1 week) and towards the end I could taste garlic in my mouth. But then I realized the 5-day yeast treatments aren't as strong and burny so I do that instead now. This concludes my story of putting garlic cloves in my lady parts.

I wore all of my normal makeup during mine. No one told me otherwise so I went with it
I'm trying to decide if I should do one more defuzzing session tomorrow or Sun to prep for my induction Sun. At this point I'm so exhausted I'm toying with the idea of going with spikey legs.

This just made me barf in my mouth. I understand wanting a non - chemical remedy, but GARLIC IN YOUR VAGINA?!?! Que "running away octopus" gif. NOPE!
Ok, which of you is the lady who just ran that 800m sprint in under 3 min at 34 weeks pregnant?
I admit, it is I. Its my birthday and I thought a little running might make for a birthday treat of labor. I didn't think my crazy running would go viral. It's just an 800 in 2.5 minutes gheesh!
But seriously, why has everyone been tagging me in this on FB today like-- "wanna go running?" It is not that abnormal for a person to run while pregnant. Kudos to her for staying competitive during her pregnancy. No need to stop what's not medically necessary!
@Bpargood there was a story on her this evening and the teaser was whether or not it was safe. Of course it was safe, she's a 5 time national champ. The doctor they spoke to about it said absolutely (duh) and in fact it was better for her to continue running because of her history. I can't believe how many people actually questioned it.
When one of your college roommates (AKA drinking buddy), who you've only barely stayed in touch with at times, takes a serious interest in helping you nurse your child, that's how you know 1) you've got a lifelong friend, 2) you're old as shit. Big thanks to her! Mr. Jonah and I may be back on track!
We had a spa day today- I got my brows threaded and hubby got a haircut, but my salon was closed and so I couldn't get a pedi. My amazing man just gave me these rocking pink piggies to show off at my shower tomorrow and I could not be more proud! (ignore my hella swollen feet plz!) #besthusbandever #hashtagsareforeverywhere
Same here. I am so glad you have a kickass support team around you (looks like it via that photo of you and bebe Jonah) but I found myself wondering last night what kind of man, finds out he has a child on the way and just .. checks out. You really are better off and have pulled yourself out of that first month or so of asking the "whys"
You've shown yourself to be a pretty tough chick and I respect you for it. Jonah has one badass Mommy!
Thank you ladies! I called him at noon day of birth to inform him. After he finished yelling at me for not telling him I had been in labor, I told him he could come to the house Tuesday or Wednesday to meet the baby. He showed up uninvited at the hospital 3 hours later... I was NOT pleased but made nice for a 20 minute visit.
He has since been to the house once with his dad for an hour visit.
Good for you for holding off calling him until after the baby was born!
I don't blame him for rushing to show up 3 hours later, but I'm glad you got to have the birthing experience you wanted to have.
(((hugs)))

Since school let out for the summer, DH gets up before I do. He's started to come back and sit on the bed and talk to me while he's eating some cereal, which is sweet. But the mouth noises. Oh gosh, I can't handle it. Chewing noises have always bothered me, but I think pregnancy has amplified them times a million. I'm worried I'm going to blow up at him the next time.
I feel better now.

Today is my baby shower. I never expected one so we have just about everything. My step mom is throwing me one anyways. I'm thankful but at the same time I know that this is just so she can show off and have her look at me moment. And my family all hates each other. My goal is to just make it through the day without having a friggin anxiety attack. Who knows, it could go great but that is so not my family.....
Oh and I found out last night that they are going to have alcohol there. Um... its a baby shower, little odd but oh well but um its in a CHURCH! I'm not even religious and I think that its wrong.

We have alcohol at all showers and celebrations and even funerals in my family. It's how we roll.
Enjoy your day!

I don't really care too much about the alcohol thing but it just seemed odd to me it was in a church. But I don't go myself so I had no clue it was accepted. I know its family, and whatever happens will.I can't control it. Guess I'm letting the pregnancy anxiety get to me. It could be a plesant day. Fingers crossed & I guess if it goes to shit I should just say fuck it and not try to fix things. My baby shower shouldn't be any work for me.
I'm getting my wisdom teeth out this fall, but presently, both the upper and lower ones on the right side are growing in. It has given me the sore throat from hell that feels like I'm swallowing glass shards. I keep eating popsicles, but that only relieves the pain for a few minutes. I feel like I know what the kids are going through now when they're teething. No wonder they're grumpy.
I'm trying to mentally prep myself to cut my toenails today.
Yeah, hubby told me to cut my toenails and he would do the rest...but I did such a shitty job he had to fix them anyway. Sending you bend-over vibes! Hardest pregnant task EVER.
@tundrabunny I haven't had any issues. I sit on the toilet (or something hard...not the couch). And cross one leg over the other so my ankle is resting on my opposite knee then just kinda twist my foot up towards me. Works every time!
