Monday Moans 10/19

midge519 · October 2015

You ladies know what to do :-)

samisargent · October 2015

I thought for sure I would be giving birth this weekend. I went home from work early Friday with mild contractions but nothing else progressed. I spent the weekend walking, bouncing on my yoga ball, and eating spicy foods. Here it is Monday and I'm back at work. I just wanna cry. I don't want to be here nor do I feel like doing my job. My DD is Friday and I'm thinking it will be my last day of work, hopefully.

kim1228 · October 2015

My office keeps the temperature SO HOT I'm like...dying.

Friday it was so hot I got dehydrated and didn't realize it (77 degrees, my gosh!). Baby wasn't moving at all, alllll day. I had a dr appt that am, so I held off on calling until later that afternoon.

But I did and went into L&D to get checked out...turns out, I was dehydrated! Don't think working in an office that is 77 degrees is the BEST thing lol. Good thing tomorrow is my last day. I'll spend today chugging ice water....

CocoR04 · October 2015

DS has hit a new level of terrible twos. Sleep regression, pickiness with foods he used to love, stubbornness, tantrums over everything, and crazy emotional separation anxiety at really inconvenient times. I know most of this is normal for his age, but OMG did he have to start these behaviors weeks before baby arrives?? I'm scared all of this will be taken to a new extreme level when he realizes baby will be here to stay.

Another moan - I love the fact that people want to text me about my pregnancy. I have great friends and family. But can people stop with the countdowns? I know I have 10 days until my EDD. But it's not a deadline!! I could be early or late! Probably late.

shannons913 · October 2015

Home sick from work and no heat in the house. It got down to 30 degrees last night and the parts had to be ordered so we may not get them until wed. It's going to be a cold couple of days! 39weeks and no dilation or effacement. At my appointment I had low amniotic fluid so I'm suppose to go back in a week to make sure it's not going down any. I hope it was because i didnt drink much that day from being home sick and sleeping all day. Im Ready for this baby to be here after the heat is fixed!

Raijapatterson · October 2015

I am over being pregnant. Everything hurts and I'm so uncomfortable. I am almost 40 and too old for this shit! Ugh. There is no signs this baby is coming out on her own and I am trying to be patient. Will only induce after 41 weeks. My EDD is 10/22 and I just want her to be here already. I can't sleep for longer than 2 hours at a time, my husband and daughter don't let me nap, my husband snores at night, and my 3 year old wakes up every couple hours to try and crawl in bed with me. If I have to be this tired, I rather do it holding a baby!

silly514 · October 2015

40 +5 here and definitely feel I'm dancing on the edge of insanity. Office will let me go to 42 weeks and I'm big on letting baby come on their own so induction isn't scheduled... but I can't even let myself think past the next 10 minutes, much less to a date more Tha a week away! Ugh

whitemn04 · October 2015

Currently going through the induction process and my MIL who works at the hospital thinks it ok to come up here on her breaks. I just want to be left alone, not have her snoop around. Hubby told her we will update as needed and it pissed her off. My mom isn't even here or bugging me every 5 minutes. At this hospital they play a lullaby when babies are born and MIL says I hope that's not for my baby I want to know sooner... All this after she says I won't be a bother. WTF ever, hubby finally told her to back off.

Cmoniga · October 2015

41+1 and sitting here on a WAITLIST for induction. I am so annoyed with my hospital/practice. As if waiting to give birth isn't hard enough but this place puts you on a damn waitlist and says, "Don't call us. We will call you between 6am and 10pm. If we are too busy it may not be until the following day". Then they tell me there are three women ahead of me on the list. Why not just schedule me for Tuesday and call it a day?! Why put me through the agony of waiting all day today!?

Not to mention I've had early labor signs all weekend (contractions, bloody discharge) and have had two practically sleepless night because if it! I even called the doctor yesterday to make them aware! I was hoping this boosted my position on the list bc maybe I'd be a quicker induction than the others... But it's already 11:40am and I haven't heard a thing.

Did I mention my mom is paranoid about missing the birth and driving in the middle of the night so she is already here?? She lives 1.5 hours away. I don't mind toooo much but being uncomfortable and just waiting for a call is miserable. She came yesterday bc she was convinced I would naturally got yesterday based on my symptoms. She's missing work and I feel obligated to get this baby out today!

Tick, tock. Going to be a long freakin day.

maiatene · October 2015

I officially hit a wall today. I have been having proromal labor for the past month and the closer I get to my due date (10.30) the worse it gets. I'm totally ok with going until then, and I don't get my hopes up everytime I have a contraction, but this is exhausting!!! I actually sat on the toilet (for the millionth time this morning) and just started crying bc... pregnancy. If I'm in labor then I need to be in actual labor, not a bazillion contractions, leaking fluids, no sleep, uncomfortable and then sorry Mummie I'm not ready yet.... they will never hear the end of this from me lol

stephiesheldork · October 2015

My LO likes to play this game where he doesn't move for hours and hours. The only thing that makes him move is me sitting in the waiting room at my OB after I call them frantically and make them see me.

kaseyhunter85 · October 2015

I have a list of moans #becausepregnancy

Our oven went out and of course no one has them in stock anymore its all order and deliver...that's convenient. So we'll be without a stove/oven for 2 weeks because I will be home from the hospital by then to schedule a delivery.

My 30th birthday is tomorrow and I couldn't care less. DH wants to go to dinner. I want to go to sleep.

I am scheduled for a c-section next Monday the 26th and am starting to get a cold so my last week when I should be resting I feel like shit and am still working.

I am already getting so nervous/excited/anxious how the hell am I going to get any sleep the next week. I am want to put on a diaper and take some sleeping pills...seriously even 3 hours uninterrupted would be heaven right now.

My wrists/hands/fingers hurt like crazy. Not sure if just from pregnancy or from hoisting my big ass up all the time.

Whew...I feel better.

MrsN092714 · October 2015

Having a terrible morning. My dog decided to start pooping blood and mucus and refused to eat yesterday. I think this is a problem that has been building for about a week now and I feel awful for not cluing in earlier. I had to drop her off at the vet this morning so they could squeeze her in between appointments as they had nothing available. My regular vet is out of town and I have never been to this other one and hate not being there. I feel so bad leaving her there, she has never been in a kennel before. With all these hormones and emotions I can't seem to pull myself together and can't stop crying. I am beyond ready for this baby to come and for the first time in weeks, I am praying that today isn't the day. Praying that whatever is going on with her is something relatively easy to deal with and doesn't involve abdominal surgery (or a massive vet bill) and really hoping I can pick her back up today.

beanie1977 · October 2015

I'm 38 + 2 and STILL have morning sickness! I forgot to take zofran this morning and ended up puking my guts out in the bathroom.

Seriously- this is ridiculous! The constipation as a side effect is killing me but every time I go without the medication I spend the day sick.

VioletandRose · October 2015

I work for one of the most prestigious academic medical centers in the country, and dealing with HR regarding maternity leave has been of the worst experiences EVER. No one knows what they are doing or understands the policies. The latest, they sent me a letter stating that I have to choose my benefits for open enrollment via a remote access portal, because I'm on maternity leave. The paperwork straight up says "google chrome is the optimal browser" however, you can only use a PC or Mac computer/laptop. Doesn't work on phones, tablets or -- wait for it -- chromebooks! Those are the only devices I own, an iphone, an ipad and a chromebook! I don't even know anyone who has a desktop/laptop computer that I can borrow. Everyone only has tablets. The only choice I have is to trek to work after my baby is born and use one of the public library computers to add my baby and sign off on my benefits before Nov. 3rd. And my baby is not born yet!

I want to scream!!

NathanheartsKim · October 2015

38w5d and both my kiddos are sick. Nasty cough, congestion, and runny nose. I was up at 4am with the 2yo and the 3yo woke at 6am. Ahhh!

sf00041 · October 2015

So we have been pushing our luck all along by purchasing a home that was due to be finished in October (bought it in July). However, things were looking to work out about as smoothly as could be expected - Doctor scheduled me for a RCS on 10/22, Builder scheduled close of my house for 10/21 - it would be a crazy week but we were making it work. Now I get a call that my Doctor has an out of town funeral and wants me in at noon on 10/21 instead. My closing is at 11am that day. Even with the power of attorney allowing my husband to sign for me if need be, this is not an option because he can not not be at the hospital (the closing is about an hour away and I have to be at the hospital 2 hrs prior to surgery). I was able to get her to move it to 8am Friday but it is sounding pretty tentative so now I'm even more anxious about the madness that will be this week! I had come to accept the scheduled delivery but this is again making me wish I could just go with the flow of whenever labor happens on its own...

kfry22 · October 2015

Mine isn't that big of a deal. But I just ran out of ice cream.

JaqiDec04 · October 2015

I'm 37+6 and I am so done. My 4 yr old has had a cold for a week, and I just came down with it today. I was diagnosed with GD just two weeks ago, and because we are so close to the due date, I have to control it with diet, because there's no time to figure out mess before my RCS next week. I'm living on chicken, cheese, eggs, peanuts and water. I cannot eat anything else, because it makes me sick. And any fruit or carbs spikes my sugar through the roof.

I had one number go over 130 last week, and my doctor asked me on Friday if I didn't love my baby!? WTF!?

I just want to curl up, sleep all day, and eat crackers to keep myself from puking anymore.

midge519 · October 2015

I can't get the heartburn to go away today!!! It's been horrible. Usually about noon I'll get heartburn telling me to eat. After I eat it usually goes away. Today I've tried eating, tums, and milk. I'm so over it today! I stopped and bought a banana split that I was craving on the way home for after dinner and hopefully that'll get it to go away some. But geez I could use some relief from it

Soashwifey · October 2015

My Monday moan? Today is actually my due date... but no sign of baby. At my doctor's appointment this morning my doctor says I haven't progressed at all from last week and my body is not ready for this baby to come. They scheduled me to be induced on Sunday night if baby doesn't arrive by then. I know the baby will come when he or she is ready... but I was hoping I would at least be having contractions by today... but nope... no signs! Oh well!

You should've told that doctor to shove it.

clairesmommabear · October 2015

Still pregnant, even though I've had insane contractions over the weekend. Just ready to be done!!!

I was so shocked I didn't know what to do. Luckily, she was a fill in while my doc was on vaca. I hope I don't have to see her again.

eheba · October 2015

Scheduled an induction date since the doc doesn't think he will come out on his own. I have to wait until 41 weeks now and I'm kinda just ready to have him out!!!

lindsayp916 · October 2015

My dr said she won't induce til November 1st (my due date is tomorrow) and all I can do is cry. I just want this baby out of me and most of my friends don't have kids and say stupid things like "oh that's not that long away". I know I will be fine but I just can't handle it today. I was so glad when my husband left tonight so I could cry for a while without feeling silly.

newtdaydreamer · October 2015

I'm freaking out that this baby will come before my support team will get into town. So worried that we will have to drop my 2yo off at a drop in daycare or with a friend at 3 am or that my husband won't be in the delivery room because he'll have to be with her. Already 3.5 cm dilated. My mom doesn't get here for another week and my husbands'a family is 4 hours away. So excited to meet my new baby, but so wracked with guilt and fear about the older one.

Only people who don't have kids would think that isn't a long time. I hope your babe comes sooner than that!!

beckles112 · October 2015

I'm so anxious for this little guy to be here. Doc doesn't think he's coming before my due date, which is Friday. It's bumming me out that I could possibly wait another week before I finally get to hold my sweet baby.

lindsayp916 · October 2015

@cmjn94 thank you so much for your reply! I can't tell you what a relief it is to know others know what I'm feeling!

floyd1rl · October 2015

My induction is a scheduled for Wednesday evening. I'm 41w 2d. I didnt want to be induced, but I mentally couldn't handle the wait any longer. I cried at my midwifes office and she hugged me and told me I've done great to get this far and I must just have a stubborn little boy. I'm really hoping that now that there is an end date, he'll just make his way out on his own before then. I really don't want to be induced. Mostly out of fear. I also had planned for an unmedicated birth and see that plan slipping away..

I'll be 41 weeks Wednesday.... Cannot skip a day of my meds either. Right there with you. I was the same way with my first and I'll never forget the instant betterness that came with the baby being born and it having to take those meds.... . Not much longer! You can make it!

sjembry93 · October 2015

My Monday moan is I feel like I've been kicked in the vagina with a steel toed boot. I'm 9 days pp and this is really the only lingering pain I have. Oh plus I still have the same cough I've had for a month and it's definitely not helping my crotch issues -.-

I have the reverse problem! All of my friends who have babies are saying any moment now. No not any moment, could it happen sure, is my body ready - no. Does my doctor think I am going to go soon - no. I can't get excited and all people want to do is talk about their babies and tell horror stories and say just you wait!! Plus I am so sleep deprived I can barely fake it through these conversations...

I am right there with you! I'll never see the tell tale sign of diarhea because I'm too constipated from the meds! I'm so looking forward to not having to worry about taking this stupid medicine.
