I totally got stung by a yellow jacket on the bottom on my baby bump this evening. Got the stinger out but have a huge welt around where it was. Baby has been freaking out since then making it even more painful because of the stretching and kicks. Oh the joys!

I am so fucking disturbed right now. Over the wknd, I mentioned my dad thought he had shingles and I was worried about it being contagious. Well joke is on me because he went to his Dr. Yesterday and it's not shingles but FUCKING SCABIES. he has no idea how he got it - he lives alone and not in filth. But we saw him over the wknd, and both DD and I hugged him. These were very brief interactions, he was only in our house for about 15 minutes. But I am freaking the fuck out right now. I want to burn my house down and wash myself in bleach. None of us have any sort of rash....but WTF?! Scabies?! I want to cry and cry and cry. I called DD's pedi to find out what I should be watching for, but haven't heard back yet.
have you heard back from the pedi yet?

Yep just got off the phone. Dr. said he wants to preemptively treat with this RX cream we get at the pharmacy and she needs to have it put on head-to-toe (including on her scalp) and keep it on for at least 8 hours, then we wash it off. They did say it is pretty unlikely we got it, but that they always suggest this when there has been exposure. I'm so disgusted by this. And DH is being a total asshole and thinks I'm "overreacting" and that because my dad was only at our place for "10 minutes" we are all fine. I don't know what to think. I'm calling my PCP now.

Ugghghghhhhhhhh.....This is my biggest nightmare.......

Question for STMs- Just had my 37 week appointment and in passing my OB said I tested positive for Group B Strep and would need antibiotics during labor. I did research online (mayo clinic, cdc) when I got back to work but would rather hear what this entails from someone with first-hand experience... Anyone previously tested positive for it? What does "antibiotics during labor" really mean?

heathera1979 · September 2014

So irritated.... got a call from the day shift charge nurse saying they're going to push me back until 11. I was super excited b/c I'm sooooo exhausted and have such a hard time going to work at all at this point. Then she says, "wait let me make sure, oh wait, I can't push you back, I'm sorry. " make sure before you effing call me and get my hopes up! Now I'm going to have a bad attitude when I get to work knowing that I was so close to not being there!!!!!

35/35 today!

I am so done with this day but I am fixing to head over to this restaurant to throw a "mixer" for the young professionals group I run. It's just been a long day. I want a peanut buster parfait and to turn the A/C down to freezing and watch all the movies and not talk to anyone.

My doc's office made getting shots so easy. They had them right there. I got one in each arm.

I was really hoping we would hear some big, exciting news today but... nope. Don't ya hate that?

On the other hand, my bestie who has had two miscarriages in the last year finally made it through first trimester! Yay for her!

I had it with my last two pregnancies. I got the antibiotics through my IV. If I remember correctly, you need at least two doses spaced out over four hours (don't quote me on that, I'm not sure). It's ideal to get to the hospital sooner than later so you have time to get the antibiotics. With DD they said I had to stay after she was born for 48 hours to make sure she was okay, but with DS they let me go a few hours sooner than that.

LO has been punching my bladder for a half hour straight. Yep totally made me pee myself a little bit. Oh so much fun! Maybe I should start to wear a diaper.

windwithfingers · September 2014

@supplycloset‌ FTM here but I tested positive for GBS too and my OB said I'd need to be on IV antibiotics but only for the last 4 hours of labor.

cmac6186 · September 2014

Sorry I haven't totally caught up on the 10 pages but need to bitch/ask your opinions..everytime I take a step I get a shooting pain in my vagina/lower pelvis. The pain goes away when I sit but I need to walk at work (hs teacher). I'm going to call dr tomorrow if the pain continues. Anyone else getting these? If so- once they started did they go away? I'm so concerned about my classes - I don't have lessons ready for this early!!

trisharenee0316 · September 2014

@apk4 - I think @theresat858's suggestion was good. My fear with induction at 39 weeks would be that your body isn't ready and that it would lead to a c-section. Which would definitely necessitate some help after the birth and then your husband would be gone while you're not feeling that great. At least waiting until a bit past your due date gives your body more time to ripen and hopefully increase your chances of success. Good luck! I can't imagine having to make these decisions!

trisharenee0316 · September 2014

It's 3 hours until dinner and I'm going out with friends from college. I'm having major first world problems in trying to figure out what I'm going to eat, and I don't think anyone will be too impressed when I say "ALL THE THINGS," which is currently what I'm thinking.

Mine too. Seriously. I am so skeezed out. And to be honest, really fucking angry at my dad for coming over with ANY type of rash. Completely unnecessary exposure that wouldn't of happened if he would have just used some fucking common sense.

lrobi13 · September 2014

I may have bought a five pound bag of candy corn at Sam's Club the other night. I'm not going to actually eat it all (props for newborn shoot) but it made my heart flutter!

@nicb13 and @pnwlover12 So, anytime I see anything Eagles on it, I think of you, and when we were at our breastfeeding class last night, there was a car that was ALL PAINTED UP. Like, PLASTERED professionally to be an Eagles car.

Also, this:

(I don't know if I tagged the right people, because I always forget numbers)

Did you mean SEAHAWKS?!!!!

HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA yes. I do. But the car last night was Seahawks, I think. I'm fucking busy and exhausted, they are both birds. CLOSE ENOUGH.

I will pretend you did NOT just compare the Super Bowl champs to the fucking Eagles!

I can't EVEN. What the hell, BRAIN? I just lost my mind, because why on EARTH would I even confuse the two, because Philly is somewhat close to here, so obviously it makes more sense to see that crap.

But Philly is repulsive.

It feels like fall here so I gorged myself on beef stew and corn bread muffins.

MrsSinner402 · September 2014

So we hung a few things in the nursery. I ended up sitting on the floor playing with Pete for a bit then he left. Then DH left. Like... I'm 37 weeks pregnant, and you don't even offer to help me up from the floor? You just leave? These are the kind of things that I'm not happy with. I don't feel all that support and sympathy you guys are getting from your DH. Yeah, maybe it just slipped his mind. But this is common. He doesn't think about these things and it fucking sucks. So instead of getting up, I crawled over and grabbed my phone and I'm laying on the floor posting this. He just came in and said you know there is a chair right there to sit in? And I responded with yeah, its kinda hard to get up. And what did he do? Left again. WTAF. This is my view:

FamousEa said:
@MrsSinner402‌ if it makes you feel better, my DH doesn't automatically help me up either, I usually have to ask him. It just doesn't occur to some men.

Yeah I basically need to spoonfeed my DH in regards to what I need from him.

MrsSinner402 · September 2014

@FamousEa‌ yeah, its not just the getting help up. Its everything. If I mention I have terrible acid reflux and can't sleep, he mentions how he's really tired too or something. Like its a competition or something and I can't just feel shitty, because oh yeah, well he's got THIS ailment. Know what I mean?

krysngreg · September 2014

My DH hasn't been supportive either. I'm to the point I could cry. But I won't. He acts like I should still be able to do every thing I did before. And gets mad when it's not done. @MrsSinner402‌
My DH does the same thing. He swears he has had all the same symptoms this entire time. Or says I'm complaining. When really I just want to voice how I feel to someone.

I'm sorry @mrssinner402

have you guys talked about his behavior?

At least you have a cute view!

vrj0522 · September 2014

@MrsSinner402 - You are practically describing my DH. He doesn't think of those things nor does he really bother. After he came home from work today we were talking about how things would have to change once the baby is born and how much more he'd have to be involved with helping out. I basically said to him... "You won't be able to come home and crash anymore. Now you'll have to work when you get home." It drives me crazy that I work all freaking day but because I'm a SAHM (or maybe just because I'm the woman), it's expected of me. There has been very little special treatment from him during my pregnancy, so I feel you!

I went to the OB for the same thing two weeks ago, I couldn't walk more than 5-10 steps without the pain being so bad I wanted to cry. Dr tested for a UTI but didn't have one, so he gave me a maternity belt and said it was the weight of my belly but that just made it worse. A few days later I woke up and it was just gone... I think it was baby's position? Idk.

Well, it took about 24 hours for this to happen.

Breast feeding class was ok. Once again, I was the main one asking questions. The instructor raced over to me on break and commented on how I've done so much research.

Yes honey, I spend my days on The Bump. KNOW ME.

But she did reassure me that I should be able to breast feed okay despite having some scarring from my nipple rings. Still trips me out that a little person is going to jump out of my uterus and want to ravenously suck on my nipples....

Thanks for the info! I was surprised that she said it in passing like it was nothing. Feeling better about it.
