Getting out of bed - Mission: Impossible
This discussion has been closed.
Re: Getting out of bed - Mission: Impossible
How could she have the time? She clearly has a more fulfilling life than any of us do.
I'm team "I have a life even if I've lurked and learned about this community and participate actively".
Also, I just have to say that I have a hard time believing someone had to get up to pee 14 times in one night. My max is 5 and that's because I drank 2 huge glasses of water about 2 hours before bed.
But I do resent her pointing out my/our lack of a life. I mean it's true at this point in time as I'm stuck on bed rest, but that's besides the point.
Just because we are pregnant, doesn't make us hormonal messes. Some women just disagree and such is life. That's part of what makes life interesting. If every agreed and felt the same about everything, life would be so dull.
I really hate when anyone blames a woman's feelings or arguments or outbursts on hormones. Whether it's during pregnancy or someone saying "wow, she must be pmsing." To me, it's a way to diminish our feelings or ideas.
And I do agree with you that we're all struggling to roll our bodies out of bed. I myself have a 3 step process I have to prepare myself for every time.
Just FYI, I have been pregnant since March and haven't had one single hormonal or emotional moment, because I am in control of my actions. Don't discredit mine and others opinions with the lamest excuse ever just because you disagree with it.

I don't like blaming everything on hormones, but I can't say that I haven't had any hormonal or emotional moments during pregnancy that I would've had without being pregnant. Sometimes I cry for seemingly no reason or feel very irritated or impatient. Some women do have these things happen, but it can be different for everyone, I suppose.

I am not criticizing the emotions people feel, but I am criticizing those who use the "hormonal pregnant woman" excuse for everything they do to get a get-out-of-jail pass every time. It just makes it okay for everyone else to stop taking pregnant women seriously. I have had thoughts and emotions in my body that might not have been there without pregnancy, but I didn't act on it - I removed myself and calmed down. I didn't act on it and then claim after the fact that I shouldn't have consequences for my actions because I am pregnant. I am still under control of how I act on feelings.
That's really neither here nor there with this post, except to make it clear that me disagreeing with someone has nothing to do with my hormones and everything to do with the fact that people's opinions vary, and those who choose to post on a public forum ought to be ready to hear other opinions that may not agree with their own.
How about being friends with the people that have actually been around and women with whom you have built a relationship with? @adecembermom2015 has been an active and great member, with whom I and many others had built legit relationships with, and now she is banned because some run by poster got her panties in a twist, call all active members losers, and infer that @adecembermom2015 won't be a good parent. I definitely have no desire to get along with someone like that.
Also, I have no trouble getting out of bed and most nights don't have to wake up to pee.
In honor of @adecembermom2015 and our friends gif offs (seems forever ago!)
Edit because auto correct is stupid
