Every time I get on tb, I got straight to this thread. I skip every other thread to get to this one because I know that I will find out all the juicy bits here. By doing so, I know what to check out next. I love this
Came home early from camping after I started bleeding (thanks, SCH). Brought DD2 home with me. Left DD1 with DH at the campsite. Feeling bad that I ruined DH's weekend, but loving being home in the AC. Adios, camping!

Aw, I'm so sorry to hear about the bleeding. Feel better soon. I know AC and your own bed at home will definitely help.
Guys. These hormones are killer. I've been so irritated all day and I'm thinking to myself, "it's hormones, you're being irrational." That just makes it worse. And for once, I want it to be Christmas already. Like, I want it to be Christmas, and then baby time. Hurry up, time!
Ugh I am also in the worst mood tonight! We had a lot of fun today, but since we've been home I started getting all worked up about having a repeat c section. I am so scared of having pre e again and dreading the idea of a similar postpartum experience. I just can't stop thinking about it. On top of that I am unnecessarily annoyed at dh because I am bored and he just wants to vege on the couch and watch modern family. Normally it wouldn't bother me but I am just bummed and grumpy tonight. To top it off my mom is here and I can't say anything to dh about how I'm feeling without airing it out in front of her. Damn you hormones! Thanks for letting me vent ladies.
Good morning 6:20 am here and I've been up for about an hour. I wish u could sleep in but I've been tossing and turning most of the night thanks to my sciatica.
Happy Labor Day!

Ugh dh and I DTD last night and I had light pink discharge right afterwards. Doctor wanted me to call if it happened again (this is not the first time). Not sure what she is going to say and now I am really nervous to call.
@Stormiewinter as you know this is very common, it has happened to many, myself included. Hope your doc is just being extra cautious!! Thoughts and prayers x
@ecwk thank you that's what I keep telling myself. Doctor is closed for labour day so I will call tomorrow. She is super cautious (one of the things I love but don't love lol). I haven't had any spotting since so I am thinking we just irritated something. Last time it was the same and we have heard a healthy heartbeat since so that is helping too.
Normally I bump on my iPad but it's annoying on the laptop that my siggy isn't lining up correctly, even though it is in the edit box. #FirstWorldProblems I need to get a life.
Maybe I'm just extra aggravated today but these questions/comments are just ridiculous to me!!! If you can't deal with the way the world is how the hell are you going to deal with raising a child. No moment is predictable. No one can tell you how many diapers will be enough. Please don't ask people to buy things that you as a parent (who decided to being a child into the world) should be buying. Yes, you/your child will need things but damn, buy your own freakin diapers! Your child will need school supplies at some point too, will you be having a back to school party where you tell guests to bring supplies?! If you are afraid you've gotten salmonella poising or are passing clots and bleeding please get your ass off the computer and see or at least call your dr. And lastly, your ramzi, shettles, Chinese calendar, BS prediction/methods sound so absolutely ridiculous it makes my head hurt. Ok, whew. I feel better. #:-S Edited for spelling.

@kynbar5 I think the one thread is more about anxiety. People who don't suffer from anxieties don't see it at as a real thing and have difficulty understanding those who do. It's less about not wanting to see the evils in the world, and more about very real triggers.

I really do understand. I suffer from anxiety. However, I was taught to (especially durning the vulnerability of pregnancy) at least attempt to avoid those triggers. The part of those threads that annoy me are the posters that tell others to not avoid the problems of the world (that aren't directly affecting you) and to fully embrace and research them. I feel like that doesn't really do much more than worsen the situation. This is just my opinion and I know we've all got our own and we all handle everything differently.

Yes, I agree. The people who comment and say just get over it, or say you can't avoid it, or things like that, are the people who have trouble understanding anxiety and also may have missed the point of the OP's post - not intentionally or with malice.
From your post I thought you meant that people who can't handle the way the world is won't be able to handle having a child. Thanks for clearing that up
I am also so over the "guess the sex of my baby" threads. Who cares? It's gonna be one or the other and you'll find out soon enough. I cannot wait until we're all around 18-22 weeks so we'll be done with this shit!
That! ☝Plus the morning sickness threads. I understand the need to vent. Go ahead but you don't each need your individual thread to complain about the same thing.
I have a question about my 19 month old that maybe some second time moms can help out with. For the past month or two and becoming more frequent, my DD doesn't want to nap anymore. I'll put her down around her normal time (around noon) and she'll lay in her crib and just talk and play for 2+ hrs. No crying or anything but she won't sleep! Is this normal around this age? I was thinking maybe if I waited until 1-2pm she'll be more tired and fall asleep? I just feel like 19 mo is way too early for no naps and I need a nap too! Lol
@yodapup we haven't gotten to that point yet (mine is just 17 months) but I think I've read that even resting/downtime for a few hours is good (even if they're not actually asleep).

I would just keep trying. My daughter turned two in June and she has gone through phases of not wanting to nap, and doing the same thing. I think they're called nap strikes? More likely than not, she start napping again soon. In the mean time, I would just stick to your routine and keep trying to put her down. At least she's not crying and she's getting a little quiet time for now!
So I have accomplished nothing I had intended for today. We're on the sofa cooling off after chasing LO around the yard. I watched 'Noah' this morning while LO napped and DH worked out, and that was an absolute terrible waste of time that I can never get back.
It's a gorgeous day here and all I can do is catch up on TB and stay horizontal. Ugh. It's the last day of summer and I'm the lamest bump on a log. I want my energy back!

My second child stopped napping at one year. Every child is different I still would put him in his crib and call it quite time. Until this past month when he started Kindergarten we stayed with quite time where he would sit and play quietly or read books for about an hour it gave me a break so if she doesn't want to nap anymore it's normal for her as long as she doesn't get grumpy and tired earlier than usual. Just keep with the routine it might just be a phase or she might be done with naps. Good luck Nap time is definitely needed when you are pregnant.
I've been up since 5:30 am, have not taken a nap, and I'm just now getting sleepy. I have to wait another half hour to make sure my kid goes to bed for school, then it's my turn! I can only hope this means the return of my energy!

So I made the mistake of saying out loud that I thought my MS might be subsiding. Out to eat at dinner, I got really sick so I went to sit in the car - mind you I've only been nauseated this pregnancy but not actually ill. Is it poetic justice that I threw up into the bag my doctor's office gave me? It was all I had in the car...
DH is leaving one week earlier for a mission. I'm going home to Michigan while he's gone, so this means I get to go home one week sooner, which means I get to go to the Renaissance Festival with my bff!! I've never been, but I'm so excited! There will be a men in kilts contest. /swoon
It is finally the end of summer vacation. Kids come back to the classroom tomorrow and ds is off to the sitter I still have a gajillion things to do tonight. I need to cut pictures, make name plates, finish IEP cheat sheets, pack lunches and fold laundry. Wish me luck people! It is already 9 pm.

I know how you feel. I only have about 60% of my lesson plans done for tomorrow. It's going to be a bazillion degrees in my classroom with no AC. Eurgh, five day weekend anyone?
I just spent 2 hours reading birth stories on the August 15 board and getting so excited for this baby.
This pregnancy has been harder on me than my previous two and I'm not enjoying it nearly as much. Reading all those birth stories and seeing all those chubby cheeked newborns reminded me why I'm doing this again!! March seems forever away . . . .

I love you for this idea. I had been feeling slightly better the last couple days but then ms got worse again today and have been feeling pretty down. I got there and looking at all the adorable babies really did help. I wonder if hormones have something to do with it, lol, like everything else in pregnancy.
Hallo, I've been AWOL for a few weeks. My dad died and I had to fly back home (outside the U.S.) to take care of things. I'm still here. Feels like I don't recognize most of the names on here anymore. Things changed fast. I'm already out of the loop! One thing didn't change though, this still seems to be the only really important thread on the board. Lol
