  Yep...I've eaten cold cuts this entire time. As well as sushi now and then even though I stayed away from raw tuna, I did have some raw salmon rolls! The cravings were just too strong. I did make sure I ordered from a reputable/sanitary/fresh place!

  I'm being induced this afternoon after having it be pushed back for the past 3 days. I'm 40+1 weeks for those who "wonder" and have to be induced for medical reasons. But we are not telling anyone when we go to the hospital or when I'm in labor, we'll just tell everyone after he is born and we've had some alone time with him. I feel not guilty but a little guilty at the same time because my mom and one of my closest friend keep questioning me to about where I am or what I'm doing randomly and it's driving me insane. My mom also randomly popped up at my house yesterday which she's never done before! I never knew ppl got this crazy at the end. Its nice that they are excited but the txts every since day are too much.

  I'm so mad at my husband even though I'm pretending to be happy. I really do not want the stress a fight could start. We picked a name for our son at 23 weeks when we found out the gender. He was being named after his dad, which I wasn't really happy about but I went with it because it was important to him. I came up with a nickname and that's what I've called him since. Now 4 weeks before I'm due, my husband wants to change the name to something weird. He doesn't realize that this kid is going to have to live with this name for the rest of his life. I'm sure the parents of North West and Apple thought those names were cute too, but we all make fun of them right? I guess my confession for this Friday is I've thought about putting the name I liked on the birth certificate without his approval because I'm so done with trying to compromise with someone who isn't willing to do the same.

  I'm getting really tired of sharing my personal information with strangers. I'm starting to get less polite about it. Pregnancy is not a group activity, we do not pass the unborn child around and take turns growing it. My and my childs medical information is not the communities business. I'm tired of being stared at by creepy old ladies like I have a third arm. I think I'm more ready for this kid to come out for these reasons than for all the pain I'm currently in.
  I feel a little better now lol

  My scheduled c-section was supposed to happen over an hour ago, but we keep getting bumped because L&D is so busy today. I'm getting antsy!

  My rcs day was like this, but I got ahead of the crowd! There were nine babies delivered within about 5 hours of my DS, and my nurse was assigned to four of them. Of her four, three were c-section! It made our transfer to PP floor very delayed (usually 2 hours after birth, but we didn't get moved for over ten hours!)
  
  My FFFC is bland. I lied about a migraine to keep from having to go with my DH to take DS1 to school this week, and I haven't stopped feeling guilty since. These PP hormones SUCK!

  @MamaOwl15  Our L&D is really busy right now too.  The doctor called me yesterday to schedule induction.  She said today they were full, which I'm glad.

  @margies2010 I've exaggerated several things to get out of engagements I'd rather not go to, or to leave early. I love my DH and his family but weekly dinners with them aren't that great when I only want cereal (and even that gives me heartburn) but they're serving Thai or Italian. Nope. And staying out late on weekends with friends? Nope.

  I am so sick of people telling me I NEED an epidural. The amount of men telling me this is insane. First of all, to quote Rachel Green, "no uterus, no opinion." Second of all, you don't know my body or what I'm capable of. The more people tell me I need one and that I won't be able to handle labor without it, the less I would even consider it (because I'm very stubborn like that). It's irritating. I have my reasons for not wanting one. I'm not afraid of labor and delivery like a lot of women I talk to are. I realize it's gonna be painful, but I'm not worried in the slightest.

  Im incredibly paranoid the closer to the end of this pregnancy I get. I have no reason to be but I am. I finally admitted it to my SO last night after crying in bed in the middle of the night. I'm paranoid that the doctor will take me out of work prematurely, I'm paranoid something is going to go wrong, I'm paranoid he won't get sleep for work when the baby is here, I'm paranoid I'm going to upset him, etc. it's all stupid and I know it is because there are no signs of anything being wrong. I have minor swelling in my hands but months ago I was told I have carpal tunnel so that's completely normal and that's the only sign of anything what so ever. But here I am 26 days remaining and Im internally freaking out. I anticipate going into labor within a week of my due date being that my last two were 2 days and 4 days before their due dates and I stop working 9 days before my due date so I should be good. There is a plan in place. But I'm really really hoping to work up until that date so we have that last paycheck to stock up the final things before I'm no longer working.
  
  Sorry for the vent session but it's my confession and it feels good to get it out

  I am tired of people automatically assuming I will get one, telling me I NEED one, or informing me "you don't get a medal for enduring the most pain." I have a few different reasons for not automatically wanting an epidural and guess what? None of them matter at all to anyone not me cause I'm the only person giving birth to my baby using my body. Yeah. Just me. Fancy that, it's not a team sport! Who knew? So why the f-ing f does anyone care if I get an epidural or not? For the record, I'm open to an epidural and any and all of the drugs. But let me get in there and see what I (me, the person who is actually birthing the baby) need to get through labor. Maybe it's every drug they have plus an epidural plus some voodoo magic, and that's fine or maybe it's no meds what so ever and that's fine too. Point is, no one, myself included has any idea how my labor will go so no one other than myself needs to have an opinion about what MY pain control needs will be.

  Y'all are right on the money! Seriously, no uterus no opinion! Every contraction I had I thought "omg I see why people get the epidural!" But as soon as the thought entered my mind, the contraction was over and I felt no pain. Your body has a way of helping you cope with it!
