I got the ok to try for baby #2 when DS was 4 mos and got pregnant a month later. Though my old OB gave the ok, it's clear from how my body is handling this pregnancy that it really isn't ready. (LO is healthy though!) Today, I got the "Bish, you better not get pregnant again any time soon" talk from my MW. The way this pregnancy has been going, DH and I already talked about this being our last babe. But I didn't think I'd be talking about permanent birth control before LO is even born!!
I'm surprised they gave you the go ahead for that! I always heard 6 months because of body complications. Hope it starts going better!

Wow... I didn't know that you had to, or should, get an "okay" from your doctor in order to have a second baby after the first... My mom accidentally got pregnant with my sister 1 month after having me! Lol. We are 10 months apart! She had no complications with either pregnancy... and she never mentioned any doctors looking down on her or giving her side eye when she was pregnant with my sis.

Well, you don't have to get permission for anything. It's your body. It's just recommended because of higher risk of uterine issues (this article was the first I found; it's geared toward csections, but has general info, too): https://www.babycenter.com/404_how-long-should-i-wait-before-conceiving-again-after-a-c-sec_1334487.bc

I had severe tearing, so I waited until healed. Generally you'll get an "ok" to resume normal activities at you 6 week follow up.

Earlier bitch- H is OOT and won't give me a definite answer as to when he will be home. Dude. I just want to know when the heck I need to get the house clean and if I need to make a decent dinner or not.

Update- H has finally gave me a definite yes that he will be home late tonight and won't have time to stop and get something to eat. Which pissed me off because the house isn't clean and I don't feel like actually cooking. His response was "I don't care if the house is clean. I don't expect it to be and I can just make a sandwich or whatever for dinner." This pissed me off even more because while I know he doesn't expect any of that, I expect it from myself and I don't want to do it...

Hormones are fun..

I could strangle my cousin! Ahhhh! Her husband admitted a few weeks ago he has been having ANOTHER affair and is leaving her for the other woman(other woman was a very close family friend). I immediately told her to call a lawyer since they have 2 boys and own 2 homes. She was served with divorce papers 2 days after he admitted this. I recommended the lawyer my sister used who is an attorney that only handles divorces, we pulled strings to get her in there. The appointment was booked a month ago, but she didn't go. She switched attorneys at the last minute because the one we got her in with wouldn't return her mother's phone calls or give her mother information. I realize your mom has a law degree in a different state, but she is not the client. If my cousin called it would be different, so she switched to an attorney that specializes in everything small town(house closings, DUI, petty theft charges, rentals) while her soon to be ex is hiring an attorney specializing in divorce from the city. I am worried she might get screwed over(no pun intended) by the switch. Her ex will be a total dick and didn't stress the issue of a divorce the last time he left her because he didn't want to pay child support. Yes, she is a glutton for taking him back after a year separation because he cheated before. I am 100% ready for him to be gone, but when she says if he gets right with God she will try things again with him. Say what?! That I cannot support at some point you just have to cut your losses and protect yourself and children from the emotional damage.

mrsshour · September 2014

Not too many angry episodes (at least not post worthy)...BUT I did burst into tears the other night when DH told me one of our favorite shows 'Parenthood' is ending after this season. Literally. Tears. I could not understand why the producers would do that to me?! (Yes. I cried that they were doing it to me) Haha

MaineMama · September 2014

Tonight my two youngest were being holy terrors. Screaming at eachother, hitting, biting, and general fit throwing. The nap strike they have been on is glaringly obvious after 6pm.

I was so over it, so I put them to bed at 630. While laying down with my DD (the only way she will fall asleep) I dreamed that my 6yo was giving me a hard time about going to bed and I got so pissed in my dream I spanked him.

I woke up crying and ate some frosting out of a can to make myself feel better. Then I remembered how much I weighed this morning and I started crying again and threw away the frosting.

Was so stressed about my 3 hour glucose test, I only slept a total of three hours last night. So, so hungry and sleepy. My appointment isn't for another two hours, waaaaah

BayCamp · September 2014

The movers that are moving out our downstairs neighbor have apparently never heard of a door stop. They're letting the door slam every time they walk out with something and my dogs are going BSC. I'm about to walk down and wedge the damn door open myself to stop the barking.

Yikes!
I am usually there at 8am, that's a long time to make you wait.

My appointment is at 9:30 PST. Sadly for me, it was the earliest available. Having a little pity party for one right now!

gimmeyronionrings · September 2014

Thanks @Jezebel3745‌ I can't wait to eat and hopefully catch a cat nap! FX everything goes well for you

nopegoat · September 2014

I could not sleep last night. I can feel a migraine coming. My boys are being so loud I could cry. AND my mom just sent me an extreme pity party drama induced text. I just can't do it today. I give up.

Ugh. Awful. @gimmeyronionrings‌ I feel so bad for you having to fast that long!!! I'm almost at 2hours now and feel like hell.

Don't feel bad @gimmeyronionrings‌ I had mine done at 17 weeks and it was a nightmare day. Mine was for 9am. My office sent the lab incorrect paperwork so I had to wait for them to communicate and fax paperwork. Didn't get to start until 10. My veins are assholes so it took forever to get the first draw. My veins continued to be assholes all morning took 10 pokes for the 4 draws needed. I had an ob appt set for 1:15 thinking that was plenty of time to grab lunch after the tests. Nope! Everything took so long that I had to rush to make it on time. Still no food

first thing they say at midwife appt is " ok let's get some blood" 8-} 12 pokes total and I got to finally eat at 2pm!
If I survived that day, there is hope for you my dear!

gimmeyronionrings · September 2014

Oh dear, I'm sitting here nauseous as heck from the glucose drink, after waiting an extra half hour for my midwife's office to fax my paperwork. A man in the waiting room gets up from his scooter to go into the lab and HIS PANTS FALL DOWN ALMOST TAKING HIS UNDERWEAR WITH THEM. Half his bum was exposed to the whole waiting room. This isn't making my nausea better... :-&

Edit: wrong smiley

JaymeeLH · September 2014

I'm really hungry, but I can't decide for what, and everything I brought with me for lunch/snacks today sounds really gross. I just want to eat something and feel satisfied.

ae793 · September 2014

My MIL bought a onesie that said "my first tattoo" and had a picture with a heart and a banner across the front that said "Mom" and sent me a picture and I adored it. We went over for dinner to her house and she had taken a fabric pen and scribbled out "Mom" and put "Nanny"...really

leoandethansmom · September 2014

Ok so I admit taking 2 year old cranky as shit, needs a nap DS to the book store wasn't my best idea but I really needed to get out of the house before I killed my annoying pomeranian. I really could have done without the judgy stares from strangers when he threw a tantrum in the store. I'm pretty sure I was more stressed out about it than you were, resting bitch face woman. I hate people and I cried the whole way home.

I had a horrendous day at work, then had to stay late for some dumb meeting, and when I got home I made grilled cheese for H and I... well first I burnt my thumb really bad checking one of his sandwiches and then burned both of mine so they're practically charred which absolutely disgusts me. So I broke down SOBBING about how awful my day was and then I burned my thumb and dinner and it was all too much. Thank goodness for H who gave me 2 minutes to feel sorry for myself after I dramatically ran out of the living room and threw myself on the bed sobbing, then came in and gave me a hug and made me laugh.

Serunatu · September 2014

I started crying hysterically today because my big work out ball popped. Then started laughing hysterically because the reason it popped was I set my cat on it... YES, you read that correctly. I set my cat, with claws, on the big rubber ball. Why? Because it was next to me and she was next to me and it all happened so fast, I don't even know! Then I cried some more because who does that? I looked like a drunken fool on the floor of my living room.

feeshah · September 2014

I'm pretty annoyed that DH and DD had ice cream TWICE today when I'm sitting here waiting for my hard ass frozen Oreo Shake from two days ago to thaw....Shit needs to change around here!

Not necessarily a hormonal rant but a rant nonetheless... DSs birthday party is tomorrow. We have been stressing over the planning because our friends and DHs family are the fucking worst when it comes to RSVPs. So we've been tracking down people we assume will be coming and just didn't respond all week. Well here's my rant: We have two friends that were engaged when we met them. They have a 6yo son together and life seemed great for them. They were in our wedding last year and talked about their wedding and buying a house together. Then last fall - splitsville. I get that it happens, as I am a product of a broken home, and that's not what upsets me at all. What's upsetting is having them text me and complain that I invited the other to this party without asking them first. "We're not asking you to pick sides" but please pick sides. X( so I'm playing referee trying to figure out who can come and who can't. When I got the complaint from her last night I lost it on both of them. I group messaged them and told them "For future reference you will BOTH be invited to every family function because you are BOTH family. You need to decide BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU who will and won't come until you've figured out how to be around each other. It is not fair to put my family in the middle and it's especially unfair to J that he is now not going to see either of you for his birthday. If you can't talk to each other to figure this out then we won't be inviting either of you which isn't what we want either. We love you both and understand this is a difficult time but putting your mutual friends in the middle of it will only make it more difficult. If you can come to an agreement we'd love to have either or both of you at the party. J misses his titi and tio very much." No response from him (which isn't surprising because he's very non-confrontational) but she responds with "Whoever has A (their son) will be the one to go so that he doesn't miss out on anything." No apology for putting us in an awkward situation. No apology for missing DSs party and birthday. I'm so annoyed with this whole situation. I've been in the middle of one divorce, it is not something I want to repeat! Sorry for the wall of text I'm just super frustrated!

Go you! Totally appropriate response to their acting like little kids! You're adults who are co-parenting a child. Either get along or work something out amongst yourselves.

argyledogs · September 2014

I'm ready to flip out at work right now. I'm so sick of my boss watching racist/sexist "news" all day at work. Seriously.

I listen to loud-ish music all day at my desk just to drown out the sound of her crap. How can a professional woman who's accomplished so much watch and believe this BS?!

Every time I go in her office, my blood pressure goes through the roof, I swear. Today it was some crap about how "all Muslims are terrorists and we need to stop being politically correct and just admit it because they're the enemy."

How about no, you ignorant asshole. Yeah, that's awesome foreign policy and critical thinking skills. Pricks.

Ahhhh! I know how you feel! When I worked at the hospital (in the lab) we had an open desk area that joined the waiting room to our work area. The waiting room had a TV and it never failed, it would be turned to FoxNews or something equally as irritating and cranked waaay up. When there were no patients in the room I would go out and disconnect the cable.

Eventually someone would reconnect it, but seriously people, you have a 10min wait TOPS, cant you live with out the boobtube for that long? Because I'm about to stab you with a needle, and I'm sure you don't want me to be pre-pissed off

agsgrrl · September 2014

@AJIrishMama‌ I hear ya. Pretty much all of "our" couples have broken up in the last year and a couple of them have put us in the middle. I still have to play middle man for one that broke up 2 years ago. Like to the point where one sends mail to the other at my house still. (:|

I'm so tired of people. I just want to built a pillow fort and sleep in it until DH gets home next month.

nopegoat · September 2014

I'm so tired of being bored and super antsy and not feeling well enough or having the energy to do anything about it.

agsgrrl · September 2014

Ok I have a legitimate one, I am so sick of the kids and parents/daycare in my lot. These are not "you just don't have kids" whines. The daycare provider is the worst. It's an older lady (at least in her 60s) and her daughter who run it from their duplex. These kids run through the parking lot unsupervised the oldest kid who can't be more than 7 is usually trying to wrangle them when cars are trying to go through. When the older lady is out there she lets them play in the garbage, one is out there as I type throwing a chunk of concrete around (can't be any older than 3). They let them bang on people's windows and hit cars with metal or wood from the trash. She's Spanish speaking only. She seems to think those of us who she assumes are white don't know what she's saying (both me and upstairs neighbor are half Mexican and speak enough spanish to know when she's telling the kids to wait to throw rocks at the building after the white lady or man goes inside). DF is fluent and has had to go out there several times to ask wtf she's doing standing and watching for. She either lies about who did it or says she can't control them. X( I've even called CPS about them running in the street alone/playing in garbage. We have to move before this LO is old enough to go outside & play.

Sorry so long winded!!

agsgrrl · September 2014

@3girlsnthepup‌ yeah I should check that out because CPS treated me like I was just trying to fight with my neighbors. It really is unsafe, particularly toddlers and littles in the street. I really worry that someday they're going to figure it out the hard way.

drmh22 · September 2014

I need to put this somewhere. MIL just got back from a vacation in mexico. She is a very 'I can't go to third world countries because I'll get sick and/or murdered' type. (Ps, they're underdeveloped, not third world). Anyway, she just called us because she had such an awesome time and now she wants to take the whole family next summer. To her it's a reasonable thought that we would be willing to leave our 5 month old baby for a week (which was up to 2 weeks by the end of the conversation). DH lets her talk and go through her whole plan . He then tells her that we will have to wait and see how we feel after she's born, and then proceeds to ask MIL how she felt the first time she left him. She said it was pretty bad and he was 6 MONTHS before she even left him with his dad! That he was much older before she left him over night, so she 'understands'. Then she promptly continues planning this vacation for us next summer.
Now she acts like we're ungrateful. We will be happy to go when we no longer have a newborn.
It's almost like having a baby will change the vacation plans that we make (or don't). Apparently no one informed her that babies change lives.

ninee88 · September 2014

Ok, so I started my whining in the Fit Friday thread, but I'm not quite done

(

Busy last couple of weeks, with this past week being the craziest. Hurdles this week were significant. My BIL, his wife and kids were staying with us for a week after arriving from Greece and until they got settled in their rental place. That involved the typical house-full-of-people struggles, plus helping with a lot of other stuff like setting up bank accounts, getting a lease signed, getting the kids registered from school, and helping clean the new house/move in. They need a lot of hand holding for some reason...not a language issue...and since I wanted my house back, it was in my best interest to move things along!

I have also been out of breath for a couple of days. I'm asthmatic, so I expect a certain amount of it, especially while pregnant. But lately I can't even finish a sentence or walk DOWN the stairs without being completely winded. It was getting worse today so I went to my PCP today. Turns out I have some kind of respiratory infection and lots of airway inflammation. Doc prescribed antibiotics, told me to use my nebulizer more often, and take it very easy through the weekend.

This would be great, except...we agreed to host a small, casual family cookout for FILs birthday on Sunday (actual day Monday). Since MIL and FIL live in a small one bed room apt and BIL and SIL aren't settled yet, I didn't feel like we had much of a choice.

The issues are a) my house is still pretty trashed from BIL & family being here so I've got to do some cleaning, b) MIL keeps inviting her friends which is making this even more of an undertaking and c) I'm supposed to be taking it easy!! I wish there was a way to just flat out cancel. DH claims he will handle everything, but I know myself and there is no way I can just sit and relax with everyone here.

TL;DR: I'm sick, my ILs are intrusive and I can't set boundaries, and lyfe is haarrrd.

pregnantinstyle · September 2014

I nearly throat punched this old lady today. As I went to support my husband and accompanied him to his bowling legue, I took my two year old toddler to the arcade area where we could play games together. As I was playing one of the race car games which my son loves, he starts to get really into it and starts shouting "yeeeeeeeeeahh" this old bitch walks over and smiles at us so I thought she was about to give me a nice compliment on how cute he was or something but no she says "could you make sure your son doesn't sceam" I said "excuse me" ? As if I didn't understand the question or possibly misheard her somehow. She goes "yes your kid is way too load and he's bothering my ears" .... I paused and said "I'm sorry miss but there is no way to control that. He's just a baby and doesn't understand he's being load" she look have a face of disgust and while walking away says "I don't think he likes to play that anyway" I'm not sure what she was trying to achieve by being a douche bag old lady. We were in a bowling ally arcade mind you dumb bitch.. After she left but I felt like saying "maybe you should try turning down your hearing aide" what a disgruntled old woman. After playing in the arcade I felt like I had to leave. Any more time in there I think I might have throat punched her.

@3girlsnthepup‌ mine told me Pepcid was fine. I think Zantac too, but def Pepcid. I turn into a dragon at night sometimes too, heartburn daily... Have been snacking on Tums like it's my job but I should probably break down and do the Pepcid. Though at least I'm getting calcium???

Edit: tagged wrong PP. Oh preggo brain.

I bawled my eyes out when my boyfriend got a hunting citation because he didn't know he had to take hunters ed in addition to having his license. My mom had just bought him his license and he was so excited. I felt so bad for him I literally cried like somebody had just died. So irrational lol. He was laughing at me trying to comfort me "babe it's not that big of a deal, I just have to take the class!" Gahhhh hormones.
