Wow things go wild up in here! I guess my other confession is that I used to be very anti meanie...but not as much as before. I still hate the special snowflake comments personally I think it's reductive and condescendingly dismissive of real life people who are certainly more complex than a board can convey. But yeah It seems like a lot of women use this board to try and work out their food/weight issues...AND IDGAF!
@hswan26 that's a pretty devastating confession, I hope you are able to find all the support you need during an already very stressful time! I'm rooting for you and I hope you can find more support in this community!
@hswan26 so sorry you have to go through this, ESPECIALLY while pregnant! I seriously cannot imagine. I hope you can find a silver lining in all of this someday.
I'm totally f'ing over my husband's smoking habit. I too used to smoke (quit when I had my first and never went back, so I get what a challenge it is) and he keeps promising me at different points that he will quit. Like when our first was born and two other times since then. Broken promises all over the place. I keep bugging him about it, usually in nice supportive ways, other times snarky...but tonight when he was loosing his patience at the piss poor service at Chili's I suggested he should go smoke. Not in a snarky way, but in a "it will give you something to do and maybe calm your nerves a little bit" kinda way. He totally lost his shit thinking that I thought he was overreacting to the bad service. Literally this is one of the dumbest fights he's picked with me in a while. He's still pissed, went to bed giving me the silent treatment. Omg grow the fuck up!!! So my confession is that sometimes I want to punch my husband in the baby maker for being more emotionally unstable than I am while pregnant.
@hswan26 wow, that's terrible you are having to go thru that, no matter whether you are pregnant or not. I can't imagine the stress you are having. It sounds hollow to say that I hope you will be able to get thru this with minimal upheaval - its a relationship ending, the very definition of upheaval - but I do hope it goes as smoothly as it can.
I found out my husband recently had an affair and ended my marriage today.
Wow!! I am truly sorry you're going through this. I can't imagine what you must be feeling right now. Sending thoughts and prayers your way for strength, peace and perseverence. I hope you have support around you to help you through what will inevitably be a very trying time.
This may be more of an UO, but my confession is that I think some people are overly dramatic about taking the drink for the glucose test and it's annoying, and I've been rolling my eyes at the 'drama' surrounding the drink/test. The drink and it's sugar content is no worse that some bottles of soda. I understand that some people have legit issues-hypoglycemia or whatever, but please. Just drink the damn drink and move on. It's not going to kill you and it's not going to 'poison' you.
I'm hypoglycemic and I approve this message. Lol .
I got a 3D/4D ultrasound yesterday. on that note she looks just like my youngest son... She has perfect lips. I think it is the first time I got really excited about this pregnancy I've been so worried that something was wrong or that I would lose her. Seeing her face finally look like a baby my heart melted and I relaxed.
My confession is that when I work a 12 hr shift I don't just drink "1" cup of coffee...... It's more like 4.......and I feel guilty but Frick I don't sleep and I can't stop !!!!
