Anyone got any good ones this week?

Mine: I totally get why some parents use the leash. I don't know why people get all touchy about it.

Bahaha, I was a leash kid and I think I turned out alright!
FFFC: I was seriously contemplating holding it against a few people that I know bake; I haven't received any brownies or cookies:( wtf does a pregnant lady have to do? Beg for food?! Yall should be offering me plates of delicious treats! ( ok maybe I am feeling the need to be spoiled today, I just want something sweet!)

I'm supposed to only be drinking water, but I snuck in a dr. pepper! It's my guilty pleasure!
And I've been hiding food in my room from my kids! My son found my popcorn!!! I felt so guilty so I gave it to him.

I know that we all share in the "bump annoyances" confessions, but I am going to put another out there anyway....I lurk on other message boards and somewhat actively (not super, but a little) post on the July board too. Lately lurking there makes me sick for what is ahead of us....not labor and delivery, but the NON STOP posts about, "I think my water broke....what should I do?!" and so on and so forth. And then people getting BEYOND butt hurt because people tell them, "GO TO THE HOSPITAL" or "CALL YOUR DOCTOR" and suddenly they are the mean ones for giving sound advice for something that SHOULD be obvious!! **Phew, I feel better**

carleym93 · June 2015

@Miz_Liz I'm already waiting for the numerous GBS test result posts to start happening. :-w

I posted this on the thread about sneezing causing labor (insert eye roll here).

Today I sneezed and peed myself in Target. So I purchased underwear, changed in the bathroom, and kept shopping. Sigh.

@Miz_Liz Why won't you just do the polite internet stranger-ly thing and tell them if their water broke?! How else will they figure it out??? @-)

I'm VERY anti-leash and I have a very active toddler. To each their own.

I can't stand people who constantly complain about pregnancy 24/7. Believe me, it's hard for me especially with an almost 2 year old. I have every "bad" symptom there is. However, my mind just keeps going back to all the women who would love to be in my shoes. Who would love to be able to carry their very own miracle. That thought alone makes me shut my complaining mouth.

Perspective really changes a person.

Come on over and let me test that for you to tell you what it is that just leaked out....this is where it leaked out of, right?

Just a warning ladies. When all the "am I in labor" post start drowning the board I may not be too nice. It's so annoying (you will all see) and around 35 weeks pregnant my attitude is very "eff it"

UGH yes, I vomit a little even THINKING about some of the pictures. I do NOT want to see anything that comes out of anyone's body unless it is a picture of their cute little baby. I don't even want to see anything that comes out of my own body except my baby!!

I'm learning that my attitude is very "eff it" around 30 weeks and a few days....then the posts started on there saying how people don't need to be rude, blah blah blah...no one was being rude (amazingly enough), there is nothing rude with saying call your doctor, we can't help you. To me, we are doing your baby a service if you don't already know to do that on your own.

carleym93 · June 2015

@Miz_Liz Why do people think a bunch of strangers can answer "is this fluid or is this pee?" All I can think is:

1) HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW?! It's your fluid! Do what you gotta do.

2) Pleeeease tell me you called your doctor before posting this on a message board. It's one thing to say "hey, i'm leaking fluid and called my doctor and waiting for a response, i'd appreciate t&p's" and another to say "this is what happened what does it mean." Even worse when there is a photo attached

YES, I am totally fine with sending T&P to anyone who is scared, in trouble, etc. I am not totally heartless (believe it or not) but please for the love of all that is holy CALL YOUR DR FIRST and INCLUDE that you called your Dr in your post so we all know that you are not crazy just needing some support. I truly do think of all the momma's who ask for thoughts and prayers (there are a few who I have been thinking of all day today hoping and praying that they and their babies are okay).

Last night DH and I had to sit through a epidural class and labor class. They talked about the mucus plug.. All I could think of was the bump and the posts that will be coming soon.

ETA: the instructor even said some people have came to the ER and brought it in a bag...

emmacake08 · June 2015

The GD posts are driving me insane. Have we officially seen every angle on GD from 'I'm not going to get tested but I want all of you to praise me for it' to 'I have diabetes now what, Internet strangers???'

Plus also people's labeling of threads is getting ridiculous. Instead of titling it 'anyone else??' Maybe put up the root of the question as the title so it's searchable X(

Our doula (teaching our childbirth class) said she routinely gets texted pictures of mucus plugs from clients and then told us not to do so! I can't even imagine putting that in a ziploc like some kind of human waste sandwich and carrying it around

FYI she also reiterated that if we think our water is broken to call the doctor first!!!

carleym93 · June 2015

There is a girl I know that I'm not exactly friends with. She was a friend of my best friend, and when she found out I was pregnant also (she is due about 4 weeks after me) she started wanting to hang out all the time. Everytime I talk to her, I want to punch her in the face. She keeps saying that she wants her son born at 34 weeks because of sciatic pain and she is convinced he moves 24/7 without stopping. She also is refusing the tdap. She told me her baby could
come at 34 weeks and it would be fine because "her friend is a nurse in that NICU." WHAAAAAT?! She also keeps changing her own due date. She was told September 5th at her first ultrasound, and every time that she measures a day or 2 bigger, she changes it again. She is now at August 22nd and is convinced we will have our babies during the same week. I have been avoiding her like the plague because I'm tired of trying to reason with a crazy person.

ETA: I'm also seriously avoiding a friend I've had for a while who told me that she and her husband would disown any child of theirs that grew up to be gay. It bothered me so bad, I haven't responded to her in weeks. Ugh.

This drives me bonkers. There are so many momma's with high risk pregnancies praying and hoping every day that their little ones stay in as long as possible and then you get people like this who think a little sciatic pain is sooooo horrible that they would wish their baby to be born early and jeopardize their health! SMH

carleym93 · June 2015

@Miz_Liz I think she's just REALLY out of touch with reality. She told me last week that she is taking 8 weeks of unpaid leave because she doesn't have enough hours accumulated at her new job for maternity leave. Makes sense. When I asked her where the baby was going after her 8 weeks was up, she said she didn't know. When I asked her if she had looked into any daycares, she said she looked into two and got too stressed out to continue to plan so she just stopped and is hoping one of her friends offers to watch him. Burying your head in the sand does not equal a plan @-)

I'm a mean person and I'm tired of stupid questions.

Saratiff · June 2015

My husbands cousin recently came
Out as feeling that he is a women and now acts and dresses as a female. I greeted her like normal and had normal interactions with her but it still kind of freaks me out. the other part of me wants to take her shopping to get her clothes that fit and show her how to put on make up.

The unsolicited advice.

I am a surgeon and while operating today my scrub tech (a guy interestingly enough) would not stop giving me advice. What type of tub are you getting? The best thing ever is a wipe warmer (seriously? The best....ever?). At one point I started having trouble with the patient and needed a hand. I couldn't get him to shut up enough about the amazing wipe warmer to give me the right instruments.

The patient did fine. But now I don't even want a wipe warmer just to spite him.

FTM so maybe I shouldnt comment about what I havent experienced, but how the F can you not figure out if youre in labor or not without posting on a forum and if you think you might be why would you not call the damn doctor before getting on the bump and waiting for replies....this will be interesting to start seeing these posts.

SashaDenn25 · June 2015

I usually dont post complaints about things people have said during my pregnancy, but yesterday I finally let a woman at work have it. I have had sciatic issues throughout my pregnancy and I just hobble around work like a fool and deal with. This woman first said oh now youre starting to waddle. I was only 20 weeks and barely showing, whatever I didnt care. At about 28 weeks, she walks by me one day and says now youre really starting to get big. WTF! I just told her I didnt think she should say that to any pregnant woman even if she didnt have ill intentions saying it. Finally, im leaving work yesterday and tell everyone ill see them Monday. She says unless you have that baby! (She has asked several times and I have told her im not due until August.) I try to be polite and let her know im not due for another 8 weeks and that it wouldnt be great if I did. She goes on and says oh it would be fine, she needs to come on out. Again WTF!!! I finally got pissed and just flat out said thanks for praying for a preemie baby for me. Ill be sure to keep you in my.prayers too. Not my best moment, but I just couldnt take her comments anymore. I hope she doesnt speak to me the rest of this pregnancy.

im mean...i dont care at this point
