Definition for the newbs courtesy of Urban Dictionary -

"a "bitch fest" refers to an unproductive meeting of people where complaints are aired. The complaints that are aired can be about anything. Often the attendees of a bitch fest meeting will dramatically complain about one another. The best bitch fests will have complaints aired that have nothing to do with the original purpose of the meeting, and end with a few of the attendees having wild temper tantrums."

Air your grievances folks!

i finally get to bed early last night, but because of the weather/barimetric pressure change i couldn't breathe and i was snoring...DH kept waking me up b/c he couldn't sleep...then i would try to stay up so that he would fall asleep first, and then HE WAS SNORING.

no sleep for me.

My bitch is...the damn oxiclean powder made me cough. And then I peed everywhere. I'm tired of my now extremely weak bladder!!!!!

Skeemer · July 2014

1) FIL - You dillweed! LO is barely a week old. I don't give a crap if you're the grandpa. DO NOT kiss her on the mouth again or I will come unglued worse on your tail then I already did. Her immune system is like ZERO. Get a clue or I'll make you get one.

2) Lady at church - People are freakin' depending on you. You have a job to do. When you don't text or call someone letting us know you aren't going to be there to do your job then other people have to scramble at the last minute to do it. Have some common decency & respect for other people.

3) Random lady at splash pad - I don't care that you have six kids & you wouldn't stop putting rice cereal in their bottles which in turn hindered them progressing to whole milk. Don't. Care. Not all of us are ding dongs like you apparently are.

*whew* As Dot Warner would say - I feel cleansed.

I had contractions 6-7 minutes apart for over 2 hours last night before they became just irregular and painful enough to keep me from sleeping. My cervix feels like a pulled muscle.

Skeemer · July 2014

@msuducks - Do they have a FB page? Sorry they suck so much!

Lhalliburton · July 2014

I had contractions that progressed from 10 min apart to 3 min apart from 5 pm Saturday to 8 am Sunday. I got no sleep and it appeared this was the real deal. We were getting ready to call our Doulas, and they spaced out to 15 minutes apart. Now I get one or two per hour. I'm so annoyed. Time to join the overdue mamas thread...

The stupid dealership who sold me my car is on my shit list. First off- they didn't include owners manuals for the car. Then when one of the tires appeared to have a leak, the guys at the dealership said nothing was wrong. Well I've had to refill the air in the same tire 3 times. It appears the leak is getting worse and now I'll likely have to replace two tires. Of course nobody there can return my or DHs calls. I'm considering getting a twitter account just to blast them in public.

Look up lemon law for your state. There should be a number for you to call and they will contact the dealership and inform them that they have to fix the issue. We just bought a new car Saturday and they went over that with us, the number is in the manual, but since they didn't give you one I'm sure you can google it and find it.

My bitch is at DH, your alarm went off and I needed to feed DD, preferably in a dimly lit room so she would be sure to fall back asleep. Instead you complain you can't sleep, well I can't sleep when your stupid alarm goes off every 9 minutes for an hour every.single.weekday.morning!

helloblueeyes · July 2014

Why am I suddenly waking up at 6 am? I am on ML. I've got nowhere to go, there is no reason for this shit. I slept in all last week and now this?

Also, fuck you universe. Cause DH having a bladder infection or kidney stones was exactly what we needed to deal with when I am 39 weeks.

livkight · July 2014

Am I allowed to bitch about NOT having any contractions? Ever? I don't think I've even felt BH. I'm worried that I'll either never go into labor, or that I won't even know what's happening if/when it does start. Ugh.

ETA: words are hard

I had to put my bra on before I was ready because someone knocked on my door and I thought it was a child when I looked out. Turns out it was just a tiny little Jehovah's Witness lady. Tricksters.

Mr&MrsMTA · July 2014

Today is my due date and still no signs of labor, I am praying at my appt today they will at least schedule my induction. This is my 3rd and final LO and all of my LO's had to get kicked out they just do not want to leave.

I am also finding it annoying that people call and say "did you have the baby yet?" why because you don't think someone will call and tell you, this is from close family and friends to. I almost want to say yes we had her 2wks ago you didn't know.....I also stopped telling people my appt dates because then I get 50 calls that day of "so what did they say" what I feel like saying is she is not here yet when she comes SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU!!! I know they mean well and are just and anxious as DH and I are, but its just getting annoying already.

lindslalala · July 2014

Add me to the list of people annoyed with these start and stop contractions. They're such a tease!

Skeemer · July 2014

@mr&mrsMTA

I sort of feel your pain on this one. My FIL kept saying for weeks, "I'm waiting to get the call!" *sigh* Yes, well, no one is hiding anything from you. There's just no news.

He also kept calling me the "Mother to be". I'm already a mother with a nearly 3 year old toddler.

It looks like FIL is getting all my gripes today.

Artistmom30 · July 2014

Why, oh why, have mice decided to invade our house 4 years after we've been in it? Found one the other day and caught it. Found another one last night and it's still loose in the house. I'm not afraid of mice but I don't like the idea that they could be crawling over my kids while they are sleeping. That mouse better die soon.

SuperTinkerham · July 2014

I think it is perfectly acceptable to move slow and run late to work at this stage in the game.

The "You're baby is coming soon" in a condescending tone makes me want to punch you in the face.

[Deleted User] · July 2014

MBF#1 (because I'm sure there will be more later today- I can feel it...) MIL- Yes, I know GFIL is scheduled for surgery on Friday and you're flying down here on Thursday and it would be OH SO CONVENIENT for me to have LO while you're here but damn- STFU already- She'll get here when she is ready. I'm still only at 38 weeks! She could bake for another 3 weeks yet if she really wants to. Plus I'm not dialated anywhere near where I need to be, only effaced at like 50%, and she hasn't even dropped yet. For the sake of picking her up from the airport on Thursday, I hope to god she doesn't keep up this whole "she should really come this week" crap. Otherwise, we might fight.

You've probably had BH and not known it. They're tricksy practice contractionses, Precious! I had a hard time telling them at first, since generally they're painless to me. I'd feel my stomach go rock hard (used to think it was baby's head, but it's totally not). Now I tend to get an odd taste sensation in my throat/mouth when I get a BH...it's really weird and I can't quite describe it, but it always corresponds to that.

I'm finally on ML, so I currently don't have any grievances to share. Hooray for hiding away from the general public in the comfort of my own home!

emeek · July 2014

Tomorrow is one of my nephews birthdays. I have heard from my sister repeatedly how I am not supposed to have this baby on his birthday. I get it I dont want that either but guess what it could happen so just shut up already. The kids will survive if they have to share a birthday

This is exactly how I feel!!

jensavicci · July 2014

My nipples are so freaking itchy I'm about to lose my mind. I have never wanted to grab a brush so badly and just haul ass on my nipples. This postpartum itch is no joke because I'm certainly not laughing. Meanwhile, max knows nothing of my pain. He's just chillin and suckin away.

beff12 · July 2014

I was saying hi to a lady at church yesterday and she didn't say hi back, she just pointed at my belly, bugged her eyes out, and said, "WOW you look pregnant!" Well derpy derp, I happen to be on week 38 of this business. I tried to change the subject and she just kept staring at my belly and pointing at it. Made me feel reaaaaal nice.

bullybutt · July 2014

I got a baby shower invitation in the mail for my cousin who is having her 2nd boy (in 3 years). I bitched to my mom about this and the tackiness. I guess I had also received a blanket family invitation for her sisters baby shower a month ago for her 2nd daughter (in 18 months). Thankfully my mom threw the invitation away. SMDH!! They were also requesting cloth diapers and wipes!!!

Omg. Me. Freaking. Too. And every time I go to the doctor, she's like, "Still no contractions? *furrowed brow frowny face*"

And DH keeps asking me, "You haven't even felt a contraction?" like it's unbelievable.

And I'm four days past due and am SO. FLIPPING. TIRED. of people asking me if I've had this baby or telling me to tell her to hurry up. Like, what the dick? As if I won't tell you I've had the baby? As if I don't WANT her to get here already!?! Ugh.

I know what you mean. At this point I'm hoping I really AM idiotic enough to not even know I'm having freaking contractions. :P

Csltdk · July 2014

After having an emergency c section and then being in surgery for 8 hours trying to advoid a hysterectomy and getting over 1,000 stitches in my uterus and 3 blood transfusions, needless to say my milk never came in and LO is formula fed and my darling MIL says to me yesterday after a " we are in the neighborhood suprise visit" that I have to "give my milk to get my milk". I have been attached to my pump every 2 hours crying becuase after 30 min I have 3 drops, so kindly go fuck yourself. And EVERYONE ELSE who keeps asking me if she's breast fed. No, she's not breast fed I'm sorry I almost died having her, I'm just happy to enjoy her and I'm sure she's happy to have a mom. I feed my child poison,clearly. So really mil and everyone else who gives me shit, fuck off- or as A14 says "STEP OFF!"

@Csltdk‌ eff all of them! You and your baby being alive is way more important than breast vs ff. seriously! What asshattery!

THIS! MIL needs to reassess her priorities CLEARLY - that day must have been the most stressful in her son's life, and she's talking about MILK?! Good Lord.

ARogers26 · July 2014

Dear Poision Oak,

Please stop spreading and go away before Mr. Levi arrives. I have enough to worry about with out thinking I am giving my son the death plague when I meet him.

ARogers26 · July 2014

AND I am in total agreement - the next person that comments on me not "popping yet" is going to get punched in the throat. Grr.

OP I didn't have near such a bad experience with DD1. But I chose to FF. My stepmom wouldn't stop harping on me for it, until I handed her DD and said "then you fucking breastfeed her. If it's so important to you, just fucking do it!" She never bothered me about it again.

cuntasaurusrex · July 2014

If one more person asks me to babysit their child or really do anything at all, they are going to get a motherfucking earful. Especially the idiot with the colicky three month old who wants me to deal with it so she can "go work out for a few hours." Sorry, that offer of help applied when I wasn't 38+ weeks pregnant, but has certainly expired. Fuck off and pay the $5 child care fee at the gym, you selfish twit.

I almost want it to happen too just to spiteful;-)

livkight · July 2014

tundrabunny -- You're my hero, because I can totally relate. I wouldn't mind having a birth experience somewhat like yours just because it seems pretty awesome to go from clueless "this is kind of a weird sensation" to "omg I just had a baby" in such a short space of time!!

Myanswer true · July 2014

DS has decided that I am the Chinese buffet at 4 AM, and proceeds to nurse every hour from then until 10, leaving me with half hour increments of sleep. And then is totally wakeful for most of the rest of the day. I feel like I'm dying over here.

sparks2987 · July 2014

I don't post often but I need to bitch so here it goes:

Lady at work who wont stop complaining...STFU! These are her complaints, I cant sleep because I cant get comfortable- my response Oh tell me how that feels. I have heartburn when I eat spicy foods- oh yeah. I have had this annoying cough for 3 weeks and it wont go away. My knees are swelling during this heat-- really? Those are all MY complaints, stop stealing my complaining thunder. Oh and when I complain about how this extra weight is getting to me, she responds " honey, I carry around 50 extra pounds my whole life" ummm not the same

contractions suck...either stick around and do something or just stop.

DD has pink eye in both eyes, hoping it clears before labor starts

114 today is not okay with this waddling, sweating, pregnant momma

If one more person tells me how BIG my baby is going to be because I am SO big...they might lose an eye.

DH, I have fingerprinting and my state life insurance exam today. What in your right might have you the idea to take my drivers license to make a copy and not put it back in my wallet??!!! Now I'm sitting outside the place, waiting for you, in my car in the middle of god knows where and it's 100 degrees outside. Literally. Seriously. Oy.

Wrights22 · July 2014

While getting my nails done today (my last planned indulgence before baby comes...), the chick doing my nails first announces: Oohhh... You're feet are swollen. (No shit thank you). Then while she's massaging and I'm zoning out for a small minute of relaxation.... She says : you look really tired. I just glared at her and said: aren't most women in their 9th month of pregnancy? I mean really?

Jbosarge85 · July 2014

Friday night my nieces and nephews stayed the night and one of my nieces got sick and started throwing up. I was trying to keep my daughter away from it all and my mother kept saying "it's just food poisoning" well, last night my daughter starts throwing up. So pissed, I should have trusted my instincts.

Another annoying thing, I'm sick of always being on others time table for my babies. For DD my mom drove from Idaho to Ohio to be there and she was 3days late all I heard before she was born was "she better get here before i leave". This time we moved so we live with her for now but a niece and nephew are visiting from out of state so I'm hearing it again. DS better get here before they leave. Ahhhh....stop pressuring me, he'll come when he's ready.
