Weekend rant. What's driving you nuts? Vent here

iandebender · February 2015

I'm stuck home on Valentines Day with a sick 3yr old. I hate when my baby is sick.

praying this passes quickly. I've got horrible heartburn from drinking water. Our 1yr old golden retriever is driving me nuts. She's bored and I just brought her home a rawhide bobr (her fave) but she chooses to chew on anything and everything she shouldn't have. My BHs and cramping have been coming back strong this afternoon and I'm yelling at a dog not to eat socks and trying to help my dd. My husband is home working remotely on the PC for his job. He can't help me with anything so I have to pretend He's not home .. Ugh. On a happy note I'm almost 39 wks in a few days!

Insomnia tops my list. As well as only leaving the house for 10 hours or so a week. I'm going stir crazy! I'm having a hard time being cooped up with no other interaction while the husband is at work. We live in the country so it's hard to justify making a trip to town when I don't need to, my in-laws would drive me nuts if I went over there, and I'm burnt out on Netflix and reading. Plus it's cold so it's indoors for me! I'm ready for babe to be here but realistically it could be until March 9th if they let me go to 42 weeks. Just letting him cook and come out when he's ready

I would kill (kill!!!!!) for a mall nearby. I'm sick of perusing Walmart when I'm feeling antsy.

I'm 39W2D and just so uncomfortable! I try to get out and there are things close by, but after 20 min I'm so sore or have to pee again it's hard to do anything!!!

JaquelynnH · February 2015

I'm a FTM at 39w4d and the anticipation is getting to me!!! Was doing so well but seem to have acquired stretch marks within the last 24 hrs and trying to "get over it" and not feel sorry for myself. Insomnia is my biggest issue. I want to cry and don't really no why.

Alyllyra · February 2015

I'm just so tired all the time. Yesterday I slept like 10 hours in the night, got up at 11am and was still tired. Fell asleep at 3pm and slept for two more hours. And went to bed at 10pm still tired. I'm hoping today is a better day and I will actually be able to do anything that needs to be done, like laundry (I'm nearly on my last underwear) or vaccuming.

junebugjam · February 2015

I'm just over it and ready for baby to come. I've been up every two hours or more every night for the past week. Cramping has amped itself up in the last 12 hours or so. Hopefully it's just a sign of good things to come but I'm over it I'm 39+3...lets get a move on baby!

mommaa1615 · February 2015

40w2d and im sick of being bored & getting a million texts about baby. I appreciate it but I dont want to talk to anyone. Im also extremely grumpy...ok pity party for 1 is over lol

hannahpop · February 2015

Sleepless nights every night due to horrible hip pain (having to flip every half hour to deal with it) and having to pee every single hour. Needless to say I am tired of hearing people say "get your rest now!" Yes, thank you for that. If I could possibly rest before the little guy comes don't you think I would be? But, instead of actually saying my snarky remarks I have in my head (half of which are just hormones) I just have to smile and nod.

I have been counting down the months and days for this week. I'm so sick with fever, aches, chills, cough and no voice that I couldn't even muster up the energy to go get my mom from the airport yesterday. I can't sleep because my body hurts from lying in bed and bring so heavy. Every night is terrible because I feel like this little guy is going to come out any second. I can't lay on my back and when I'm on my side I feel like his head is between my legs. I didn't finish cleaning. My mom will understand, but that's not the point. I wanted everything checked off my before baby list. DS had croup last weekend now DD is starting to show signs of whatever I have. DH has a cough but nothing to the extent of what I have. I don't wish this on anyone 2 days before they are supposed to have a baby.

DHarpster · February 2015

I can't stand when people say I bet she's hungry. I spend 24/7 with her, I'm pretty sure I know when she is hungry. Ugh! I know they think they are being helpful but it makes me feel like they think I'm incapable of taking care of my own child. Just because gets a little fussy doesn't Always mean she's hungry. Maybe she doesn't recognize you and your face is freaking her out! Rant end.

em4iowa · February 2015

How much this child is bumping against my pubic bone. Ow. All the time, ow.

yoursincelery · February 2015

Firstly, God bless all y'all.

Secondly, ditto. I'm 39 weeks tomorrow and the past week was just hellacious with no hope for this one being any better. Baby is so big he's crowding my lungs again even though he's dropped. BH ALL THE TIME. No real definite signs that labor is anywhere near except all these annoying new pains that sometimes think they want to consolidate into a contraction? I don't even know if they are or not because I have no idea what to expect. "Every woman is different!" "Every pregnancy is different!" Eff that, I'm confused and that's not helping.

junebugjam · February 2015

@yoursincelery‌ I am so with you on being confused. I've been cramping and feeling like i need to use the bathroom pretty much all day. So I googled (fatal error) and now I'm not sure if these are cramps or contractions. They're not consistent so I guess it doesn't matter but I just don't understand how I'm supposed to know! Ugh. Wish my water would just break so I have something definitive.

This. A thousand times this.

I'm in exactly the same situation! I'm basically crampyish for most of the day, but not in real "contractions," and I have had an isolated sensations that I think were contractions, but they're few and far between, with no real rhyme or reason. I'm afraid I'm not going to know!

iandebender · February 2015

I was induced with DD so this trying to guess what is and what isn't contractions is driving me crazy. I've been crampy all weekend. Hopefully it's done something. I have an appointment tomorrow a.m.

I am the same way.

My rant besides the same as everyone else is we are team green. I am so sick of people saying "you still don't know?!" No we don't know but will find out shortly. My MIL is the worst. She keeps hounding us to tell her names and she really thinks we know but are not telling her. She also thinks she is the only one that wasn't told our name choices. No one knows! The doctor doesn't even know! The only person that knows our names is the doctor! Leave us alone no one knows and we are not telling you the names. You will have to wait until you come to the hospital and find out!

mommie2bof6 · February 2015

38wks 3days lost plug finally. But can't get regular contractions baby is measuring big causing massive heartburn. Nearest store is a crappy walmart. Its not a very nice one. Mall is 45 mins away we have below zero temps and two foot snow. I have three bored kids as well. Sooo done with being pregnant and with freaking winter. Come on spring where r u?????

smluke09 · February 2015

All this and more! Thank you for posting this. I'm so miserable and moody and people look at me like I'm hurting their experience in all this.
I'm the one who has to go through this. Me. My MIL said that she was so glad I was getting induced so that everyone can plan to come over this weekend. No! I don't want anyone to come over the first day we have her home. I want to deal with being a FTM without having to pass my child around a room full of freaking people. Ugh. Im so frustrated.

Ceefome · February 2015

I have 3 littles, and they've all had colds in the past 2 weeks, so DH and I have as well. I'm tired of coughing and peeing myself. And I'm thinking all the coughing is making my hemis flare, which has never happened pre-labor before. I really hope this kid has dropped, because it certainly feels like it, but I need at least another week (I'm only 38.1) to get ready.

CantoDeAmor259 · February 2015

I'm 39 weeks and provider less, that's been making my weekend a bit hard! I'm meeting with a few diff ones between Monday and Tuesday so I keep teeling little man to hold out until we find one since leaving the crazy one last week (seriously the "nicest" description I can give of her).

LoriMarie1121 · February 2015

My mother in law won't put down my son. All I want is to snuggle him but she won't put him down. Trying to loose my patience with her. Luckily she leaves this afternoon.

newlywedtanya · February 2015

Tired, tired, and more tired. And sick of people making comments about my baby dropping or not dropping or how I look. Or why I am still working. Leave me alone. Ugh

iandebender · February 2015

If I hear my mother or mother in law ask Me when I think baby will be born again I'm going to flip. I'm being induced at 6am Thursday and they're all like " okay so when do you think she'll be here?" I don't know, call a psychic. Everything is stressing me out right now. I don't know if its nerves, hormones or all of the above. I feel like I'm going to have a mental breakdown.
