    So, I had to get a growth ultrasound today to see if my GD is affecting the growth of the baby! I will be 34 weeks tomorrow and she's measuring between 37-38 weeks!! Yikes.. So now I'm super nervous and anxious to see what my Doc will do or say at my OB appt tomorrow!!!
  • Remember that bipolar/PPD poster from a PPD support group, the one who I notified her husband of her intention to possibly get a hotel room and commit suicide? The poster is livid. Her husband saw the message, and it triggered a "huge fight", and there was all kinds of lamenting about how it's supposed to be a safe space, where apparently you should be able to fantasize about leaving your three babies and killing yourself, and everyone who sees it should just mind their own business. Then a bunch of others chimed in about how wrong it was to notify her husband. I took the initiative of leaving the group. I can't believe a PPD support group feels you should turn a blind eye to someone threatening self harm. That's nuts.

  • @NatureLovers‌ you did the right thing. I can understand the wife being upset because she was "told on" but for everyone else to have her back and turn a blind eye to those threats is crazy to me!

    Plus to me, she was clearly screaming for help if your going to put info out there like that. If I were going to kill myself.... I'd just do it without announcing it first.

    Hopefully her husband takes this seriously and gets her some help. Scary stuff dude!

  • I'm Pisces at DH because he came home ranting about how he doesn't know how he's going to keep from failing his classes and how he's going to keep up with everything, Yada Yada Yada. We've all been there, and we all worked through it. I offer a few suggestions, which he immediately negates because they just won't work, and then gets puss because he wasn't looking for a solution. 

    Then, after dinner, I hear him rummaging around in the kitchen. He comes out with 4 mini buttering erstwhile and proceeds to eat them all without bothering to offer one (or even a bite of one) to me. A few minutes ago, I went to the kitchen to wrangle up some chocolate, and there isn't any. The only things left are skittles and Starburst and twizzlers... not that there is anything wrong with those, but I wanted chocolate, and he ate it all, and didn't bother to offer any to his very pregnant wife. Then he has the nerve to get mad at me, because that's the first candy he's had in some extravagantly long amount of time (not true), and he didn't know it would piss me off if he had a few pieces...

    So now he's mad at me, I am mad at him, I have heartburn, gas, and an epic chocolate craving and no chocolate...  UGH...

  • @NatureLovers, I think you did the right thing too about that PPD woman. I have a friend who attempted suicide several times. DH had to physically restrain her from throwing herself in front of a bus on a busy highway and take away Tylenol so she wouldn't OD. At the time, she cussed out DH and told him that he didn't have a right to control her life if she wanted to end it. She was in a bad place, but she is better now, and she has since thanked us and said that she's embarrassed for acting that way, but her judgment was clouded by her mental state. That's probably the same for the woman who was making the threats and probably others in the group, and I hope they're able to get help.
  • @NatureLovers you did the right thing. If shes manic depressive/bipolor she could have been going through mania or who knows what and that alone is very dangerous. Regardless of her condition, if I saw her or anyone talking suicidal, I would have done the exact same thing as you.
