WTF Wednesday 9/23

I haven't seen one started, so let's hear what is wtf to you

Re: WTF Wednesday 9/23

  • WTF, I bought a new used care 2 months ago and now I have a bubble in my tire (lovely Massachusetts roads!) and who knows if the shop will let me replace just one! Oh! And WTF to my husband getting me sick... 
  • Loading the player...
  • WTF - my neck and upper shoulders are soooooo sore. I can barely turn my neck to the left. Went to the chiropractor on Monday, and I'm wondering if he screwed something up. Either that, or my weird sleep positions are messing with my neck. 

    Because I don't have enough aches and pains already, let's just add one more. 
    >:P
  • WTF Wendy's undercooking DS's burger then being like, oh, we'll just get you another one. Um, what are you going to do about my 3-yr old already having eaten half of it people? So far he seems ok...

  • WTF to men needing a "last weekend" or whatever. My SO has had three in a row and every time its the same story. "Well its really the last time I'll get to go out with the boys before baby comes along." I don't remember ever getting a "last weekend". Mind you, our little bundle was a surprise but still. I know that if I told him it upset me and that if I said not to go, he wouldn't. But its the fact that I know he'd rather spend time with them over time with me so I just let it go. I'd rather him be happy with them then fake having a good time with me. Ugh hormones. 

    My husband has a friend who is insisting they should go out this weekend for the same reason. I basically said, this is our last weekend before my c-section and that's not going to happen. Luckily, my husband gets it.

    I am waiting on the last of the blood work for preenclampsia screen to come back, this is the 4th time we have ran it because my blood pressure keeps spiking and coming down. It spiked to 150/100 but was back down to 143/88 within 20 minutes. This keeps happening and I have just to keep healthy till next Thursday but I'm worried there is a problem.
  • WTF, work? I've been telling them since March that I'd try to work until my due date (10/4) and they did nothing to prepare, plus they treated that as my hard stop instead of an estimate. So I told them 9/28 would definitely be my last day, because I'm miserable, and they are complaining that I decided to leave a week early without notice....what?? The baby could come TOMORROW for all I know. Ugh
  • Wtf to this carpal tunnel preventing me from doing anything! Esp sleeping at night. It's so painful!! Any suggestions welcomed!!

    Yes! Ours was a surprise too and if only I had gotten three "last weekends" or even one "last night" or anything! Must be nice....

    WTF is with the baby name threads??? The reason you aren't getting a response is because we don't care what you name your child!!! Be an adult and figure it out yourself!!!!
    LOL!!! 100% agree.  Also not replying because there is a baby name thread so the board doesnt get congested with those posts.  I'm more inclined to reply if you use that thread,
    Yes! The multiple threads from the same people are what are just making me WTF. Five is too much. Just stop. 
  • WTF DH. He calls me this morning saying I have to take Friday off because his Uncle(by marriage) died. I told him I cannot go and he is pissed and insistent that I go. A) In the 4 years we've been together I've never met this man.(2 years ago he had to ask his dad if the guy was still alive) B)We are beyond short staffed at work as we had 2 people quit this month. C) I don't want to use anymore vacation as its all going towards my maternity leave D) The funeral is 2 hours away and I was in the car alot over the weekend and Monday was brutal I can't do the travelling anymore. 

    I hate to sound cold and I'm sorry for the families loss but I don't think I'm in the wrong here...
  • WTF my mom is getting on my last nerve. Every day she's asking me how I feel, if I have any symptoms, when do I see the doctor again...I want to strangle her. The baby will come when it is ready, leave me alone!! I feel stressed enough, making sure everything is ready, worrying about labor, etc, and she is NOT HELPING. I actually do not want her in the delivery room with us because I do not like the way she acts under pressure, but I know if I don't allow her I'm going to have to deal with the guilt she'll lay on me later. <eyeroll>
  • WTF stupid nurse?! I had an OB appt today. I couldn't get into my regular doc so went to see the APRN. In that part of the clinic they use the manual scales and the nurse couldn't figure out how to use it. I told her she needs to go the other way and it wasn't balanced and then she was commenting that I gained 8 lbs since last time and that I should watch that. Ummm first of all learn how to run the scale bitch. Second I have GD and know there is no way I've gained 8 lbs in 6 days! THEN, for the NST she was tracing my heart not baby's. I told her that doesn't sound right but she insisted it was fine. Well nope, I ended up laying there super uncomfortable for an hour because they had to start over as she was tracing me. Ugh, so annoyed because then I was late for my next appointment! I will do my best to avoid going to her again. Rant over :((

    WTF is right!! I would let that practice know about your experience.

    My WTF is my husband said my bump was starting to look impressive:( He out of everyone knows how sensitive I am about the comments. Yes its big, yes it's going to get bigger, I am making a human being!!
  • Follow up to my WTF, I am developing preenclampsia and now I'm having a c-section on Friday morning.
  • @tate62610 - I don't know really. I was just kinda freaked out and they were so nonchalant about it. In my job, if I make a mistake I at least apologize.

    My DH was actually out having his "last weekend" when my water broke with DS. Not so much fun.
  • WTF Bump app/iOS 9? Even after the "update" I can hardly use the app!

  • Wtf to my coworker. All she wants to talk about is me being pregnant. And her questions and comments are getting more personal and awkward. Monday she asked how dilated I was. Yesterday she asked if I have started wearing maternity clothes. I did 22 weeks ago. Today she started telling me about her friend who had a baby three weeks ago having mastitis and all about her milk coming in and breast feeding issues. In great detail. GREAT detail. There is a hell of a lot more stuff to talk about in a work day besides my pregnancy. Get over it chica

    Well it's Thursday technically but here's my belated WTF...

    WTF-- My doctor tells me and my husband to have sex to induce labor and "get things going."  Does she not realize that I feel like a beached whale and sex is not a fun thing these days!!  I told my husband that he must be masturbating in private a lot and he's like no..I just don't have the sex drive I used to either I just have a feeling that I want to take care of you... not sure if I believe that but it made me feel a little better. lol

    @kassyfry that's funny.  annoying co-workers are the worst.  One of the reasons I'm glad I quit.  I had a co-worker who was the same way.  Each week on Thursday she would yell at me first thing when I walked into the office, "Your 20 weeks today!" or whatever week I was that week...lol.  She also had personal boundary issues and would come up and be talking to me with food in her mouth and it's like I couldn't get out of the line of fire because she basically had me cornered.  One time she spit food on me and I felt so grossed out and she's just like oh sorry.  Then she keeps telling me about her pregnancy and how it was 30 years ago to have a baby!   She's nice enough but geez lady :))

  • @whitemn04  omg there's this nurse at my doc's office who is the same way.  In one week I gained 20 lbs an my doctor was like..is that right and had her weigh me again and i really only gained 2 lbs.  Then this week she weighed me and I gained 10 lbs from my appointment which was 4 days earlier and the scale wasn't balanced but I didn't feel like saying anything...

    yes yes yes! I thought we were over all of this! Apparently the opinion of strangers on an internet forum are more important than the father or relations of the child.

  • @millerliz13, I am so sorry you're experiencing that, but I'm happy to hear that they discovered the issue in time to ensure you and baby stay healthy! I will be sending lots of positive vibes your way on Friday!

    @whitemn04, at first I was like, "Hey now, I think the nurses are awesome! Take it easy..." But then I read the rest of your post and I would be totally pissed, too. We go in for proper care, and while the weight isn't the utmost important, it is necessary for them to figure out if you are on track or if something is awry. For instance, if you had really gained 8 lbs in 6 days, her first reaction should have been great concern because you'd probably have taken on a lot of water retention. WTF was she thinking about that she didn't get it together?! She should also take a quick lesson in using the scales properly, so I'd tell your office if I were you. I'm sorry you had to go through that appointment :(

    @Llynde5, I hope you are able to love on that big baby bump, too! I remember that feeling when I was pregnant with DD, and while my bump did get pretty "impressive," the bump is the part that goes down the fastest ;) You are growing a human, and it's kind of a big deal :) You're almost there!

    @babymazzei, we shouldn't have to blame the hormones when it comes to careless things like that! I'd be annoyed, too, and this is my second. Maybe if you reframe it: "So, babe, you're saying you need a "last weekend" before your wife goes in for a major medical procedure (I'm trying to think of a way to say that and relate it to general populations rather than something unrelateable in a man's world), from which she'll spend weeks if not months recovering, and brings your child into this world, you need some time to relax and kick back with your buddies?" Maybe it's worth a shot. My DH was pretty similar and many of his buddies weren't at that stage of life yet so they were all about the big weekends and sleeping off their hangovers until lunch the next day. Don't get me wrong, I am really supportive of SOs' needs to wrap their heads around the big life change that's coming down the pipeline, but to be honest, I think they often forget about what their wife/GF/etc. is about to experience, too.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way. DH has bowling on Thursdays and he can't just have a few beers, he goes all out because his buddies do. I've been pretty patient so far but I do remind him baby can come any time and I don't want to be driving myself to the hospital with him passed out in the passenger seat! Sure, go see your friends, but please think of me home alone and uncomfortable and irritated before you take that next shot. He really needs to learn to say no I've had enough I need to be coherent if my wife goes into labor. And his buddies need to learn to respect that and quit pushing drinks, most of them have kids and leave when yet want to no questions asked.
