Well obviously a group of women can't get along and laugh at stupid things together without being mean girls or a clique! It's funny because we can disagree, debate and not devolve into throwing insults and THAT is what makes us a clique....

Also, our "'click'" apologies A LOT. Brooklyn APOLOGIZED to rat girl and many other angry she-doesn't-even-go-heres. I have 0% patience to apologize when I'm grumpy and she does very kindly. I love that we can disagree and debate without getting feisty. Hence why I'm on here more than I do work all week

@CaitLewis15, hugs to you! I think you're feeling the same way I was this weekend. I just needed to let it out and then, I magically felt much better! So much love and support from everyone here helped, I'm sure! I hope that just getting it all off your chest helps you feel a new sense of clarity.

MM number 2: my hormones are kicking my butt today! I'm so angry and so close to tears. I've snapped at dh and dd1 twice already and feel awful (more so toward dd1 as she's not yet 2 and dh is a grown man). I think I should just get a day off from everything and go back to bed.

MM 3: scheduled (almost all) my appointments for the on/gyn from here to the end and a few of them require me to leave work early. Normally it wouldn't be a big deal but seeing as I only have a limited amount of time off before taking off for the baby I want to save as much of it as possible so I get paid for as many days as possible. There are 3 doctors in the practice along with 3 np's. I know they have multiple offices and I understand at the end they want you to see an actual dr but seriously?!? If your practice is THAT busy that I had to schedule all my August and September appointments NOW to accommodate my work schedule maybe it's time to bring another doctor on board or start turning away patients...

@mirandaC1984 The anger she is expressing over situations that absolutely do not warrant such a response is.... really worrisome. Hulk was my only explaination!

Oh I absolutely agree.

I hate that I haven't been as active here the last several weeks. We've been slammed at work with fiscal year end. Today is the first day I've been back and able to participate. I've missed you guys!

Fan-fucking-tastic. I'm sure this only reinforced to her the idea that she's right and we're meanies.

*awaits compliment* can I get a lollipop and a high-five for my accidental detective work? ;;)

Second Monday Moan...whoever blew up the bathroom on the third floor, I hate you. Courtesy flush!? Lysol spray!? ANYTHING!? Blegh. I just wanted to hide from my computer for 5 minutes and you killed it.

I get irrationally angry at people who poop in public bathrooms. I get that it's got to happen but come the fuck on, carry matches or something if you know your bowels are in a mood. And at least courtesy flush.

smlowe9311 · August 2015

I feel so lost at not seeing the toy thread. Sounds like it was a good one. Is it a few pages back?

LiveNLove44 · August 2015

MM: The glucola triggered nasty acid reflux so I had to sit waiting in the lab for an hour with acid pooling in my mouth.

The silver lining: I already know I passed because our office is amazing at turning around lab results.

Sweet Sadie Mae · August 2015

I'm adding another one. My back has been so sore all day long. It's my middle and lower back and it feels like cramps in my back. UGH. I seriously hope this is just because of my heavy belly and not some sort of contraction I'm feeling in my back. If I have back labor later on I'm going to freak out.

eheba · August 2015

I have to know what your doctor gave you! I can not sleep! @BrooklynBroussard

I have a really serious moan. Fruit on the bottom yogurt. I have to work (i.e., mix) before eating it? And then my spoon gets all gunked up from the mixing? I just want to eat the yogurt. Life is rough, I tell you.

jefinley1 · August 2015

I feel, as many others have expressed, that this weekend particularly, I went from feeling like I was manageably growing to "Oh my god what happened to my body and why can't I move properly and how am I bumping into everything all of a sudden?!" Up to this point it was nuisance symptom here, bigger belly there, but I've got this and I'm staying positive. Now I just feel like my body is falling apart. And I was super grumpy because I couldn't even share any of the blueberry Belgian beer I got my husband as a "thank you for being awesome" present this weekend. I feel like a terrible person for pouting over not being able to steal my own gift to him!

@elmann1 I had a bad haircut experience as well over a month ago when I went in to get a simple .25" trim and came out 1.5" lighter. My hair, and particularly bangs that I was so looking forward to not having in my face during labor, was on the floor before I could even stop it. Then she guilted me while I was exhausted, into letting her use that awful razor thing. It gives me frizz. I am STILL upset about it. The bangs that were at my chin are now "tapered" in that most of it is still by my chin, except for 10 ragged strands at my eye level. I don't know what it is about my hair, but getting a bad hair cut is one of those things that will actually traumatize me and almost (OK, sometimes actually) make me cry. Which is silly because now more than ever, it's just going to grow back.

brittanispears · August 2015

I went to a pool party on Saturday and someone told me my face looks chubby and my nose got bigger. I wanted to push her in the pool. We aren't good enough friends for you to call me fat. You try growing another human and see if you don't gain any weight.

Also, I'm counting down the days until I go on leave. I've been mentally checked out of work for the last two months. I'm too tired to focus.

Another thing, I know some women are experiencing terrible constipation but I'm just the opposite. While I like being regular, I think there could be such a thing as too regular. It could be the apples I eat almost everyday, though, too LOL.

What a jerk. Seriously, what is with people?! When is it ever okay to tell someone "your face looks chubby?" I hope karma treats her appropriately.

komorebi · August 2015

@jefinley1 i feel unfunctionally large currently. Usually my height saves me but not this time. I've gotten stuck on my couch twice.

Birdee212 · August 2015

@jefinley1 That's so sweet that you did something special for your hubby. Mine has been pretty awesome so I'll have to surprise him with a little thank you, too.

smlowe9311 · August 2015

@brittanispears (I'm assuming regular means regular here and not the squirts) I have been going once a day and found that if my body skips even one day it's hard going the next day.

He has, completely independently of me asking or anything, almost entirely stopped drinking in spite of it being a major hobby for us. In the entire pregnancy he's only had beer at home one other time. And I still sat there and unintentionally sulked. So he's the one who's sweet, but thanks! I could tell that in spite of his brave feminist face, he was seriously missing the fun special edition summer offerings.

Exactly. I was thinking how fortunate I was aside from some other symptoms that were less fun, as it seemed like my long body was just handling everything fantastically. I didn't even want to comment on bump size or those types of discomforts, because I felt I literally had an unfair playing field and it would just be mean. I thought I would make it to L&D relatively unscathed. Well that smug attitude officially bit me in the ass this week.

brittanispears · August 2015

@smlowe9311 Yeah, no squirts here. But if you need to get regular, up your fiber in take. Fruit has a lot of natural fiber that'll help you. Also, have you spoken to your doctor about it?

tate62610 · August 2015

I had some good suggestions but I saw who the OP was and decided against responding. The other posters covered my suggestions anyways.

Part of me wants to invade with gifs and the other part just doesn't have the energy.

MandahGirly · August 2015

MM#1 I had the WORST sleep last night. Up every hour and I had to have peed at least 5 times. I just could not get comfortable and as a result woke up sore EVERYWHERE

MM#2 this might be a result of #1 but I feel like utter crap today. I have no energy and my tummy has been bothering me for the past couple of hours. It sort of feels like gassy pain but the paranoid part of keeps thinking I'm having contractions so I keep pushing on my belly to see if it's tight or not. Baby girl is still moving around like crazy so maybe I'm just backed up

time for some fiber pills!

Now I'm off to read the toy thread to make myself feel better!

Yes! It somehow really does. I think that knowing that a lot of us seem to be feeling a sense of being overwhelmed and frustrated by our dwindling physical and emotional reserves makes me feel less desperate. It helps to know this seems to be part of the process, which gives me hope that we will somehow manage to get past all of this more or less okay. You guys are tops :x

Fruit on the bottom is the worst! Who wants jam at the bottom of the yogurt?? I'm always so disappointed when my husband buys the wrong one. #firstworldproblems

I kinda hoped the thread would go full bunny, but sadly no. The post didn't deserve the cuteness overload.

tate62610 · August 2015

You have to be worthy of the full bunny @Birdee212 I feel like we'd all just get reported and they'd shutdown the thread just to pacify. A waste of good bunnies.

This bunny is carrying a toy so one could argue it is on topic.

This was my reaction after reading the toy thread.

cmjn94 · August 2015

My MM is that I had to take a muscle relaxer at 1AM and then had to drag myself out of bed 8 hours later for PT. I'm still groggy from the meds but at least I slept I guess?

satori15 · August 2015

Well, I was going to moan about getting hardly any sleep last night due to DS having sleep issues, but after reading everybody's moans I feel like all I can do is send lots of positive energy to you guys! I'm not even going to look at the toy thread. It would probably cause the giant raging hormonal beast in me to raise it's ugly head.

eat111315 · August 2015

This is pretty lame compared to what others are dealing with, hope things turn around for you all!

MM: my debit card expired and so I got the new one. Problem is in order to activate it I have to call or go to an ATM and input my pin....the pin that I lost shortly after getting my last card. Awesome. To further moan- there's a bunch of things on auto payment on that card. I know the bank can send it to me it just takes a week or so. Pia

Silver lining is I ordered the baby's bedding from pbk (on a different card). It was on sale and I should get it by the end of the week!

intheversa · August 2015

Hugs to everyone having a bad day! I'm right there with you.

My moans are:

1. DH got back from his trip last night and as usual tossed and turned and kept scooting over to my side of the bed until I was almost falling off the bed and stole all the covers. I've accepted that I can only sleep if either he isn't there, or I have my own blanket.

2. My mom is obsessed with my weight gain and reminds me daily about weight gain in the third trimester. I've gained 11 lbs at 30 weeks. I wish she would get off my case. She asked why my thighs have such bad cellulite yesterday and I reminded her that I'm swelling. @DeeGree totally understand the body image struggles. Hang in there.

3. Sorry, bit of a vent on this one. My shower is this weekend. I was really looking forward to seeing two of my friends who I've hardly seen since I've been pregnant. But they're not coming. I have tons of wonderful friends who have been so supportive this whole time, but these two were my best friends and we've been through everything together. But then I got pregnant and they both kind of disappeared. They occasionally return my texts or emails but rarely call me back. When I learned that they both weren't coming to the shower and that one RSVP'd for the other my friends and I were curious if they were going out of town together. They keep being really vague about it and I've pretty much asked them directly if they were going out town together and they wouldn't answer. I don't even care about the gifts, I just wanted to see them. One of my friends found out that they planned a trip but couldn't get a straight answer about it. I don't really care if they're going on a trip without me, but at least tell me the truth. When I ask to hang out they say they are busy but then I see pictures of them out together on FB. It really hurts my feelings because I've always been there for them. I'm probably better off without them, but it still hurts.

That sucks.

I had a similar situation happen but it was before I was pregnant. I was really close to these 2 girls and then I went to grad school and was working 2 jobs so I literally barely had time for my husband let alone friends. It was a lonely time for me but afterwards I tried multiple times to reconnect but they just weren't returning the feelings. I even ran into one of them at an event we were both at and she promised that we would hang out etc. when I went to reach out to both of them they never answered me back. It made me realize that I don't have time to deal with that kind of stuff if I am the only one that is going to put any effort in. It hurts at first but then eventually you learn to move on.

Good news, it's just a UTI and no shot needed. It's been a long, stressful morning. I'm waiting at walmart on my antibiotic and then we are going home. Poor hubby had to miss work to drive me to the hospital. Thank you for your support, I'm exhausted and so worked up.

Woo Hoo!!!! From Monday Moan to Monday Miracle! Good news

!

I'm sorry it was stressful but really happy it's turning out to be a manageable issue and that you get to go home and hopefully not worry anymore for a while

intheversa · August 2015

@Mandahgirly I think a big part of it is that they aren't in the same place as me so they don't know how to be around me. I'm really trying and at least they occasionally email me back.

I don't honestly care if they had planned a trip for the weekend of my shower, they can go and have fun without me. But don't lie to me, even if you're afraid that you're hurting my feelings. That's where I'm hurt. But again like you said, at some point you just move on.

I'm trying to become better friends with those that have kids because we can relate to each other. Maybe joining a Mommy and Me would help.

jennylynn103 · August 2015

I took my shoes off at work and now I can't get them back on.

Stupid swollen feet.

mom4liak · August 2015

I have 2 moans today.

1. I had to be admitted to the hospital today thanks to a migraine. My blood pressure was super low also. I am fine now (thanks to IV pain meds) and baby has been great during everything. She had to be monitored because of the pain medication I was being given. My blood pressure is also back up to normal.

2. I made the giant mistake of posting on FB that because I am pregnant I had to be admitted to the hospital instead of just getting a pain med injection and being sent home. My exact words were "isn't pregnancy grand?!?" Appearently I was complaining about being pregnant and now don't deserve this child or my other children because there are plenty of people who wish they could experience all aspects of being pregnant. Never mind that my other kids are all because of expensive and extensive fertility treatments. Also I endure multiple dr appointments and painful shots weekly to help this high risk pregnancy have a happy ending unlike one of my past pregnacy which ultimately ended with a still born son at 24 weeks.
