I'm stabby because of doorknobs. I've just about bruised my stomach because I'm not used to the belly and keep running into/pulling doorknobs into my stomach. Eesh.
I'm stabby because I decide to take a nap and my husband let me sleep from 11A-4P! Wth...you didn't think I would want to spend some of my Saturday with you being that you're leaving for a whole week Monday. "Oh but you looked so comfortable." Yeah right I'm pretty sure comfortable is the last thing I look EVER right now! Ugh. Rude!

I hate that! My SO is the worst alarm clock. I'll ask him to not let me sleep past a certain time.. Two hours past that time I wake up like WTH.
Can I add that it snowed today? (NW Pennsylvania ) I typically enjoy snow, but all I want now is to cuddle under blankets. I just don't have time for that.
My frickin dog is making me stabby. On Thursday the toddler that I watch opened the door and let both my dogs out. One came back because she's actually pretty well behaved. The other likes to play a game of keep away, so she will run about 10 feet ahead of me until she gets tired and let's me catch her, which is generally about a mile I'm discovering. So, I had to chase her down, toddler on my hip. Yesterday (and this one is totally my fault) I was letting my dogs inside and I unclipped her from her tie out and let her run the two feet to the door, because that's usually what I do with no problems. Nope, she decided to run off to the track near my house where I normally walk them and have me chase her around the track. Today my dogs were outside tied up and somehow she slipped out of her collar. My other dog barked and alerted me that she was running off. So off I went to spot her and then chase her down.
I'm too dang pregnant for this, and if I weren't worried about her getting hit by a car I would just let her go. Cause I know she mostly just loves the chase game.
Have you tried yelling and running/moving quickly away from her? Dogs love to chase and will often come to you that way. Still not easy while pregnant, but I've found my escape artist beagle falls for this every time.
Im stably tonight Bc I typically don't pull out the pregnancy card, I chose to get knocked up therefore I don't care to throw it in people's faces. However today I've had to use it twice.
Went to dinner for my Inlaws 45 wedding anniversary. Happen to be the same night for a group of high schoolers homecoming dance. Go to the bathroom which is small and have to navigate through a bunch of extremely underdressed chicks who are so busy gossiping about how so and so gave so and so a blow job... Mind you this is a family style place with kids everywhere! Anyway they are hovering near a mirror and I politely say "excuse me can I get by?" I'm not quiet by all means so I know they heard me. I had one girl glance at me and smirk. I wait a good 30-45 seconds and finally raised my voice and said MOOOOVE out of my way NOW before I pee on your feet. The horrific look on their faces was classic... I didn't feel bad at all because apparently someone else complained about them hanging in the bathrooms talking like little hood rats because a manager came in and said they needed to exit the bathroom unless they are using it.
So after that ordeal I get back to my table. My MIL FIL and stupid snobby stuck up SIL had just came back from a quick trip to NM this afternoon. All SIL did was complain about how tired she was from traveling. I was pretty quiet most of the time at the table, acid reflux the smell of some of the food and me just being exhausted from no sleep, I really was just in a low key mood. My MIL asked how I was feeling and I said I felt like crap, just the typical pregnancy is almost over discomforts. SIL pipes up and says that I have no reason to feel the way I do because I get to stay at home all day...
This was my response?.... Once you find a man to stick around long enough to get you pregnant come talk to me a few weeks before you deliver and we will see how you feel.
Flys.... That's all that is making me stabby at the moment. Somehow I have had a great last few days. But this fricken flys are driving me crazy and they all need to die!! I am so ready for our first freeze to kill them all but we've been having an amazing fall so far in my area with temps is the 60s-80s some days

I need to try this next time, which hopefully isn't for a while haha. She's such a weird and finicky dog, though, so I just never know what tricks will work on her.
I'd like to poke my coworker in the eyeball right now as they decided to get over on one of my clients while I am unable to work. POKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm stabby because of doorknobs. I've just about bruised my stomach because I'm not used to the belly and keep running into/pulling doorknobs into my stomach. Eesh.
I'm all over this one! I even scratched it real bad yesterday and I'm super worried it's going to be stretch mark now. I was so freaking pissed but I'm the one that did it so I can only be mad at myself and that pissed me off even more. I'm so over hitting the bump.
Another one - if I see a post saying "call your ob, "don't be stupid about it," or "there's already a post about that" I'm going to lose it. Way to help and support someone. I bet if we took all these responses, we'd lose half of the posts on here. Maybe she did and they aren't worried but she still is and wants comfort. At least be nice about it and offer support when telling her to call. Jeez.
Stabbed about the girl who just knocked on my door and asked me to put money in towards her college tuition, I said no I can't afford it and that I was sorry I couldn't be of any help, then she proceeded to tell me she would pay for it if I signed the paper bc she just needed a sale. If you can pay for it yourself then why do you need money from me?! I don't even know you. And stop staring at my belly it's incredibly rude and sorry to say but it won't talk back to you, my face is up here.
Then there's all the posts that obviously needs a Dr's attention. I understand asking for experience.. but it's different to ask if you should call a dr. (Mostly another app where I run into this problem) and it's not small things either it's things like "my 1 week old has a rash here is a pic, what is it and should i call a dr?" and the baby is head to toe in bright red bumps that looks like it has a few scabs or whatever. I have to limit my pregnancy app's usage lately.
That rash maybe baby acne no one every told be that newborns brake out with a rash from hormones leaving thier body. I remember taking my first to the doctor thinking he had an allergic reaction to something.

Support on common sense can only get you so far. Like I said, many of us have been here for months and have established relationships. We have seen the same 'omg is this normal' post 20 times. People should be able to use the search function or Google with little to no guidance from others, and if the symptoms are bad enough why should internet strangers be handed the responsibility of deeming you safe and all is well and then bearing the news that it actually wasn't. I understand people think that some of us regulars are harsh and unsupportive but in actuality we've become a very tight knit, fun group. So sorry ( but not really), I'm going to keep telling people to call the Ob when I have no topical advice to give or to use the search function when the 20th BH contraction post comes up. If it's something new, legitimate, fun, scary, of course I'll add and enjoy the conversation, but if it's the same 5 people bitching about the most ridiculous drama or symptoms or even drive by posters who can't take the time to look through the boards before asking their 'more important than anyone else's ' question, well yeah;They're not going to get a great response.. Thanks for your concern though.

Different strokes. You prefer to do that, I prefer to be supportive, add some content that might ease them and encourage to look further into it. It's the Internet, it takes all kinds. I'm not concerned. Just tired of seeing it. Some might need tough love, I dunno. The post asked what makes us stabby, not open a debate.

Meh. You wouldn't have posted what you did if you didn't want to get a rise out of the regulars, as most of the people who posted on this thread are those very same people you were calling out.

White knights on drive by postings make me stabby.
Also lack of sleep is making me beyond stabby. Thank God DH let me stay in bed longer this morning. Apparently even unisom isn't cutting it anymore. At least naps still work when I'm able to squeeze one in.
I'm stabby over the stupid driver of the white car that scratched the bottom of my door, tire, and rim. I only know it was white because it left white marks all over. Did they leave a note or wait for me? Of course not! *sending bad karma their way.
Also the girl running my child's bday party this weekend. Thank you for sitting on your ass and playing with your phone every time I walked over to you. Like when I asked you if you were going to start making the food or if I need to get behind the counter and cook the freaken chicken fingers too. Oh yeah and I didn't eat all day but had to do EVERYTHING for 20 screaming kids who were hungry! What exactly did 25 bucks per kid get me?

You're right, they don't necessarily turn into stretch marks. They can though. Your skin is stretching and so extra tearing, even in ways we can't see by scratching our skin, can progress marks.

We do offer support where it's needed. Asking a question only a qualified doctor can answer is why people get call you OB. We are not drs here or even close. How would you feel if you said someone's cramps where normal and it turned out they weren't for her and it was something serious. I would feel horrible that's why we answer with call you dr. Your cramps and my cramps could mean totally different things. Also the TOU states to lurk and search if there is already a post about the same thing this is why we say there is already a post about this. These 10 post on the samething take away from the women who really do need out support. Most the time we just state call your dr nothing else. We can't say it will be okay if we don't know if it will or not.
More stabbiness. I can't wait until my baby shower is over this upcoming weekend. Between all the weird and potential shit-show family dynamics to always hearing about it from a certain person, despite my many attempts to change subject, I'm just over it. It's just the most ridiculous, uncomfortable, unnecessary dramatic event. We don't need much, my brothers and family have been generous enough to help out with some of the bigger things as well. We are good to go. I'd SO much rather have a small thing with close family. Not 50 of my mom's friends and a plethora of games and what not. Not my style. Lol. Ya'll thought these stupid shower posts were done.

We can direct these posters to contact you via PM since you enjoy responding so much. I will be sure to keep this in mind.
people from work who I don't talk to who keep asking "is the baby here yet?" And if I will keep them updated on the baby..... Um no... I don't talk to you and I only know your name because I'm here all the time!!! Grrrrr (this actually happened on Friday but one of them texted me and asked me if the baby was here yet and it just re-aggravated me!!)
1) constant spotting, went to the ER and they said nothing is wrong but it's just annoying because I'm now paranoid something is wrong.
2) LO's father and his fucking head games, I swear he is crazy as they come which does not bode well for our child. One day, he wants me to die in a fire, two hours later he wants to know when I'm due again, three hours after that he's saying he'll consider having sex with me again literally what the fuck I have never before felt like the sane party in any situation but this one. I am the sane one. This is terribly unnerving. I want to block him so badly but I'm afraid he may actually text me something legitimate about the baby that I'll miss and could get called out in court on later.
3) Just everything in general this weekend. Saving grace was the thread with the rhino gif. Needed that.

1.) I'd be calling a different OB, needing answers. 2.) GO TO THE POLICE. Get it recorded, documented, done. Then you'll have proof of what he's said and you'll have reason to block him. There is no reason in hell to keep going through that and stressing yourself out, nothing he has to say about that baby is going to do a damn thing in court as long as you have the previously made statements documented.
Super stabby after finding out my MIL plans on waiting at the hospital the entire day of my induction, which she shared with my SIL, not me or my husband because she knows we don't want visitors unless invited !! And on top of that ( long story short) found out she has decided to disregard our request to not call herself meme ( close personal friend passed, name has sentimental meaning to me).. All of this she has shared with my SIL and I feel like it's so shady to disregard our requests. I told DH he is to handle... Immediately...
Ew. I'm terrified my MIL is going to try and pull the same shit when she finds out I'm in labor. Stabbyyyyy to all the MIL issues
Time is making me stabby. There is just not enough!! Ive got a million things to do and baby is just about ready to make an appearance. :!!
Agreed. I'm 34 weeks & still don't have a lot done. Also, we're still trying to find a house. Our goal was to be moved in before baby was here. That's not happening. Hopefully we find something before Xmas. We're currently living with family until we got in our feet. But now it's hard finding something in the area reasonably priced. So I guess house prices is what's making me stabby.
A lady in the congregation (DH is the pastor) asked if I was going to call someone when I went into labor so they could get a chain of phone calls going so everyone would know when the baby is born. No- you'll find out after the baby is born and likely not until we're home from the hospital. I know they're excited but we don't need the whole church showing up in the delivery room. :-O
Can't sleep at all and I'm exhausted! Figured I'd eat some leftover pizza because it was so good for dinner. I instantly regret that decision. Thank you heartburn for ruining my night. Now I'm definitely not going to sleep tonight.

Thank you for your advice, I realize I must sound like I'm sitting on my ass but my OB actually does come highly recommended and this is the second time she's told me nothing is wrong. I saw her last Friday too and am seeing her again this Friday. As for the police...you're right there too, I just feel guilty because I don't actually want to get him in trouble. And at PP....LOL yes I do actually have a lot of normal days, I just don't post about my normal days in the whine threads.

OK. I'm going to say this as nicely as possible. STOP. ENGAGING. WITH. HIM. Stop talking about him on social media, because if it does come down to a court battle, he can use anything you've said here the same as you can use his texts. Document/save everything he sends you, do not respond, and contact authorities. I don't care if you want to get him in trouble, if everything you are saying is true, this man is unstable and does not have any business around you or your child. Sue him for child support and stay the hell away from him. You have a little person to think about now.
I lurk. I snark. I offer sound advice if you're not BSC. You may not like me. I'm okay with it.

Word of advice if they are that crazy - lock your Facebook page down before going to the hospital, or even the week you're due. Make it so no one can write on your wall and all comments have to be approved. That way no one can post congrats on there or ask if you've had the baby yet. When my husband called into work the day we left for the hospital a coworker tried posting on our walls 2 minutes later to announce the baby was on its way. Luckily we had both locked ours down so he PM'ed my husband. People are so rude and don't realize it on social media. My mom will be the only one told ahead of time because she will watch my daughter. I don't want a coworker spoiling it for everyone else.
It's not Sunday anymore, but I need to get this one out. It took far too long for DH to put the crib together once it came in, come to find pieces weren't fitting together properly. I called the company and they sent out a replacement part, and he let that sit there for how long as well. Saturday he decided to finish putting it together before he leaves, and the replacement part isn't fitting right either. Instead of stopping there, he decides to saw these little pegs off because they weren't fitting into the corresponding holes and nail it together instead. Ahhhh omg seriously?!?! That isn't safe!! And I shouldn't be upset because he says it's actually sturdier this way?! No!!! So I called the crib company again today and spoke with a manager who had me take pictures and email them to him so he knows what exactly they need to replace. Now I'm waiting for a call back, but come on DH, really??!

Make it so no one can write on your wall and all comments have to be approved. That way no one can post congrats on there or ask if you've had the baby yet. When my husband called into work the day we left for the hospital a coworker tried posting on our walls 2 minutes later to announce the baby was on its way. Luckily we had both locked ours down so he PM'ed my husband. People are so rude and don't realize it on social media. My mom will be the only one told ahead of time because she will watch my daughter. I don't want a coworker spoiling it for everyone else.
Good idea. Hadn't even thought about Facebook spoilers.
Re: Stabby Saturday/Sunday
Two hours past that time I wake up like WTH.
Went to dinner for my Inlaws 45 wedding anniversary. Happen to be the same night for a group of high schoolers homecoming dance. Go to the bathroom which is small and have to navigate through a bunch of extremely underdressed chicks who are so busy gossiping about how so and so gave so and so a blow job... Mind you this is a family style place with kids everywhere! Anyway they are hovering near a mirror and I politely say "excuse me can I get by?" I'm not quiet by all means so I know they heard me. I had one girl glance at me and smirk. I wait a good 30-45 seconds and finally raised my voice and said MOOOOVE out of my way NOW before I pee on your feet. The horrific look on their faces was classic... I didn't feel bad at all because apparently someone else complained about them hanging in the bathrooms talking like little hood rats because a manager came in and said they needed to exit the bathroom unless they are using it.
So after that ordeal I get back to my table. My MIL FIL and stupid snobby stuck up SIL had just came back from a quick trip to NM this afternoon. All SIL did was complain about how tired she was from traveling. I was pretty quiet most of the time at the table, acid reflux the smell of some of the food and me just being exhausted from no sleep, I really was just in a low key mood. My MIL asked how I was feeling and I said I felt like crap, just the typical pregnancy is almost over discomforts. SIL pipes up and says that I have no reason to feel the way I do because I get to stay at home all day...
This was my response?.... Once you find a man to stick around long enough to get you pregnant come talk to me a few weeks before you deliver and we will see how you feel.
I don't know how many times a night I kick him!
Another one - if I see a post saying "call your ob, "don't be stupid about it," or "there's already a post about that" I'm going to lose it. Way to help and support someone. I bet if we took all these responses, we'd lose half of the posts on here. Maybe she did and they aren't worried but she still is and wants comfort. At least be nice about it and offer support when telling her to call. Jeez.
Support on common sense can only get you so far. Like I said, many of us have been here for months and have established relationships. We have seen the same 'omg is this normal' post 20 times. People should be able to use the search function or Google with little to no guidance from others, and if the symptoms are bad enough why should internet strangers be handed the responsibility of deeming you safe and all is well and then bearing the news that it actually wasn't. I understand people think that some of us regulars are harsh and unsupportive but in actuality we've become a very tight knit, fun group. So sorry ( but not really), I'm going to keep telling people to call the Ob when I have no topical advice to give or to use the search function when the 20th BH contraction post comes up. If it's something new, legitimate, fun, scary, of course I'll add and enjoy the conversation, but if it's the same 5 people bitching about the most ridiculous drama or symptoms or even drive by posters who can't take the time to look through the boards before asking their 'more important than anyone else's ' question, well yeah;They're not going to get a great response.. Thanks for your concern though.

Also lack of sleep is making me beyond stabby. Thank God DH let me stay in bed longer this morning. Apparently even unisom isn't cutting it anymore. At least naps still work when I'm able to squeeze one in.
Also the girl running my child's bday party this weekend. Thank you for sitting on your ass and playing with your phone every time I walked over to you. Like when I asked you if you were going to start making the food or if I need to get behind the counter and cook the freaken chicken fingers too. Oh yeah and I didn't eat all day but had to do EVERYTHING for 20 screaming kids who were hungry! What exactly did 25 bucks per kid get me?
They can though. Your skin is stretching and so extra tearing, even in ways we can't see by scratching our skin, can progress marks.
I can't wait until my baby shower is over this upcoming weekend.
Between all the weird and potential shit-show family dynamics to always hearing about it from a certain person, despite my many attempts to change subject, I'm just over it. It's just the most ridiculous, uncomfortable, unnecessary dramatic event.
We don't need much, my brothers and family have been generous enough to help out with some of the bigger things as well. We are good to go.
I'd SO much rather have a small thing with close family. Not 50 of my mom's friends and a plethora of games and what not. Not my style.
Lol. Ya'll thought these stupid shower posts were done.
1.) I'd be calling a different OB, needing answers.
2.) GO TO THE POLICE. Get it recorded, documented, done. Then you'll have proof of what he's said and you'll have reason to block him. There is no reason in hell to keep going through that and stressing yourself out, nothing he has to say about that baby is going to do a damn thing in court as long as you have the previously made statements documented.
Agreed. I'm 34 weeks & still don't have a lot done. Also, we're still trying to find a house. Our goal was to be moved in before baby was here. That's not happening. Hopefully we find something before Xmas. We're currently living with family until we got in our feet. But now it's hard finding something in the area reasonably priced. So I guess house prices is what's making me stabby.
....Do you ever just have a normal day? Like...'wow, I watched tv and that was the most action the day has had' kind of normal day?
I lurk. I snark. I offer sound advice if you're not BSC. You may not like me. I'm okay with it.
When my husband called into work the day we left for the hospital a coworker tried posting on our walls 2 minutes later to announce the baby was on its way. Luckily we had both locked ours down so he PM'ed my husband.
