OH I have another....the "I'm a ____(insert fruit here)" posts annoy the nonsense out of me and seem to have no place on this board when we're all around the same due date. That's what the weekly ticker check ins are for. There's even a question: "what week/fruit are you". They need to stop. Flame away.
ETA wording to make it more of a confession vs a demand.
Here's my confession: I'm off work and I think I'm going to sit on the couch and binge watch the new season of Orange is the New Black in my underwear. #lifegoals
Not sure if this is a FFC or an UO Either way. It really makes me twitch when people address someone who is worried about losing the baby with " as long as you aren't cramping and bleeding heavily you are fine" ummmm, not always true. I have had 4 miscarriages and I didn't cramp or bleed with any of them. I so badly want to call out this misinformation, but don't for fear of freaking out the OP. And, yes, I realize it is meant to calm the poster. It just makes me twitch EDITED FOR TYPO

I know I've stated this and I've said things are "USUALLY" fine ...b/c usually, they are. Yes, there are circumstances where there are MMCs but those are two major things to be on the lookout for a miscarriage.
@magburt I had no idea it was back on...that makes me super excited for something to relax with when I finally get a day off on Sunday....how many episodes are up now?

I totally understand why people say it and yes, usually, it's fine. Which is why I never comment. It's just my FFC.

You will realize how appropriate this is when you get a few episodes in.
DH and I were pleasantly surprised to find OITNB on Netflix last night. Early release? We didn't question it. Just watched.

Misinformation is such a big pet peeve of mine. As a medical professional let me tell you it isn't harm free like people think. I spend hours convincing people this random thing they read on an Internet blog or forum is Not true. Why you trust the Internet over your provider is beyond me. We aren't out here to hurt people and if you think we are only in it for the money I have some student loan bills Id like to share lol not to mention the countless times I've gone out and bought something I needed for a patient (like denture paste) that we don't carry in the hospital. We do this job for a reason. Ok I got sidetracked, but I agree I did have spotting and bleeding with all three of my losses but I know sooo many women who didn't. We are all different, if you know deep down something is wrong, get seen!

I totally understand where you're coming from. I myself have tried, in a nice way, to say this and I got flamed for it and said I was rude and negative and not being supportive...but clearly, it's possible. It sucks, but it's real. I try hard not to give anyone false hope, I now just say generic statements like, "best of luck" or "hope all is well." As we can see, members are STILL having loses this far along. No one is invisible from a missed miscarriage.

Exactly! If I was truly concerned, I'd be on the phone with my OB - not posting on an internet forum.

Guilty, I said it today. But it wasn't meant to be a doctors stance. It was more to say that's typically when they say to worry. I would always let someone know that I'm not a dr and to trust your gut.
My FFFC- I've gone to the gym 3x this week and not made lunch @ home at all. We got subs one day, quesadilla today (more for the chips and queso), chickfila yesterday... I'm terrible. And yes, DS eats lunch with me. But it's all "healthier" options if that's possible.
I was late to work because I was just laying in bed hoping to keep my Popsicle breakfast down (nope). I gave up on food in the morning because it ALWAYS comes back up no matter what it is. Also I can't decide if I should drive 45 minutes for sheetz or 45 minutes in the opposite direction for pizza hut. Maybe just go to my dads (30 minutes away with no "good" food) so I can watch oitnb. Oh decisions are hard.

Hmmmm I vote pizza hut!!! I love their pizza for some reason.
My FFFC is I'm getting married in 42 days and I hope my soon to be mother in law doesn't show. She said to her husband she wasn't going to come because she has nothing to wear.... I'm over her bullshit and her drama.
I think this has been said before.. But I really can't stand when people are snarky and rude on the Internet and then use smiley faces with snide comments. It GRATES on my nerves. (Not just talking about one person here.)
Also, I just blew through all 5 seasons of parenthood on Netflix in like 3 weeks. Judge me.
Last one- I saw cookie dough on TV.. And couldn't leave the house at the moment so dug through my pantry and made home made cookie dough. Only after putting together everything in the bowl did I realize I did not have vanilla extract or baking soda. The cookies were not that good but I ate them anyway.
I worked out yesterday for the first time in 2+ months (first tri really killed me, mild yoga was about all I've done). Finally less nauseous and have some more energy but now I'm sooo sore. Feel like I'm dying. I *strongly* exaggerated how much I did to my DH so he won't make fun of me as much. This counts as my workout for the week now right?! Ouch.
Here's why I feel awful: I have these great services that deliver fresh organic produce, meats and dairy each week (I actually have a milkman named Daryl ) and I can barely touch any of it. MS is subsiding but my aversions are completely unpredictable.
The result is that the only solid meal I eat is at the Lebanese next to my office, and all this amazing food is piling up at home and going off. I've never wasted food in my life but no local charities are interested in such small quantities..
I should just suspend my services and if I'm miraculously feeling great next week just go to the grocery like a normal person - but will I? So unlikely. I Daryl, and he may well be the last milkman left on earth.
Yesterday I was at the mall with my 13 month DD so she could play on the play area. Aunties Anne's was nearby so afterwards to I got a mango lemonade and cinnamon sugar pretzel bites and put the shade up on the stroller so DD couldn't see because I didn't want to share!
It was so good, I went back and got it again today!
I am obsessive about soft pretzels right now. My boyfriend wanted to go out to diner so I had him take me to the mall first just for auntie Ann's. That was my diner.

I went through a phase (when I wasn't pregnant) where I was obsessed with their pretzel bites with cheese. Mmmmm now I want some!
Hubby and I got up at 4 freaking am to go fishing in the rain. Oh but it was just a "light drizzle." Where we live the roads flood and landslides happen on a daily! We stopped at Walmart to buy ponchos and snacks..$50 later! Walmart is the devil. So we finally get to the lake, hike a mile to our spot, set everything up and it starts pouring. I sat there like a sad little pregnant woman and we had go pack everything up, hike upwards now, and sit in the car to wait for it to stop. It never stopped. So we drove home and he wanted breakfast, why hubby why! Moral of this is I got up at the butt crack of dawn to basically cook and watch Netflix. We also wasted too much money and now can't go watch Jurrasic World. Wahhh! Lol all for a dang fish.
I sometimes have REALLY unkind thoughts towards super cute, healthy and comfortable looking pregnant women. I realize there should be some sort of sisterhood or solidarity but I'm just too crabby. Early in the week, we took a three day trip. I'm swimming at the hotel pool in a swimsuit that barely fits (didn't buy maternity swimsuits) , covered in bruises (I fell in the shower the morning before our trip) and this women in her last trimester walks up holding a two year old looking better than I do in a swimsuit unpregnant. I had a moment of rage filled thoughts. Then asked nicely how far along she was. 32 weeks! I managed a polite "you look amazing!" before insisting my DH go back to the room with me.
@mtownhespes I want to triple love your post. The spring sniffles are endless.
Also, I got some pretty troubling family news this afternoon. The first thing I thought was, "How am I going to break this to my dad?" But the second was selfish- "I guess I can't share my pregnancy news."

I'm very sorry that you went through this! I'm sure that was extremely disappointing that the day was ruined. Just as an FYI though, the Waltmans are very nice people (at least the ones that I know) and I understand that it would be unlikely that you may come across somebody that would know them personally, however, calling Walmart the devil is a little bit offensive. I'm not trying to be adversarial with you at all, just to let you know that I know one of Sam Walton's kids (obviously they're very grown-up now) and they're very nice people (definitely not the devil.) But I do understand how it can be frustrating that you spend so much money for a day out that you did not get to enjoy. Hopefully, you will be able to use that equipment in the future! And again, I'm sorry mama that your day was ruined.

Not the fun kind.
The sniffling, scratching, fuzzy head, can't effin sleep kind.
Why can't these things just be safe for the baby? Someone please invent ones that are. Now. Thank you.
