My heartburn has upped its game in the past week and I can hardly get to sleep for feeling like I could start vomitting lava at any given moment. This kid better have a head full of glorious locks if I have to put up with this for any longer.

Ugh - this. I've been taking extra strength Zantac twice/daily and still get woken up in the middle of the night with acidy disgust working it's way up my throat, even to the point of actually throwing up. So gross!!!
My monday bitchfest is the night time in general. So uncomfortable... no sleep. My stomach aches, my back aches, my hips ache. My fiance snores sometimes too, so when I'm laying in bed trying to get comfy the bed actually rumbles from his snoring which annoys the F out of me. So he goes to the couch (or I do) and we wake up (he wakes up) annoyed because I was probably a huge bitch. So then I feel guilty and bad, but then I also feel like I'm allowed to be that way - which then makes me feel like a bitch too. Last night was especially bad because my stomach was cramping like poop cramp'y feeling. Had no idea if it was a new form of BH or really was poop cramps or if this back pain is early labor? Like wtf is going on!!!! 38+3 today.
Edit to add: my fiance woke up and was literally so nice to me about kicking him out of the bed that I started crying. LOL.
I think I am going to have to unfollow my mom on Facebook. Every few days she's posting something like "one month until baby C is here!" Or "official baby watch has started - 26 days!" Add that to every single patient or family at work feeling the need to ask about my pregnancy and point out babies and say "you're going to have one of those!". Like thanks everyone, as if this tiny human INSIDE OF ME kicking my ribs and making me pee every 20 minutes isn't reminder enough!
40+2 and still pregnant with zero contractions and zero signs of anything, definitely no mucus plug. I deleted my fb messenger app because random annoying people keep messaging me saying stuff like "you haven't popped yet?!". I know they mean well and they're just excited, but believe me, I'm way more excited to "pop" than anyone else is for me. Sick of the texts asking if I'm having contractions. Just wanna throat punch everyone. The pissiness is real... I feel like such a Jerk for being annoyed when they all only mean well. But never again will I ask a close to, or overdue mother anything about how she's feeling. Instead I'll bring her chocolate cake with chocolate icing. That's all I want right now but I'm too lazy to make it.
My best friend asked me if I was in labor this morning. After a fucking long talk last week about how much that pissed me off. Like I will tell you when I am in labor. For fucks sake
I'm sick of people and their comments. I hear from my SIL multiple times about how much better I look this preganancy because with my first I was HUGE (insert her widening her hands out) then at a wedding reception this weekend my aunt asked me if I was having twins and laughed. No bitch I'm almost 40 weeks pregnant. Dumb people and their dumb comments.
My landlord has yet to fix my front door... The week after Christmas he says... He will fix it he says...
It's two weeks after Christmas, the new front door has been on the porch since last Tuesday (the 29th) - they dropped it off, came back, half assed wrapped it in a tarp- it rained Wednesday..... He was on the property on Saturday and didn't bother to come fix it.....
Now a cold front is moving in a money says he will say "sorry, it's been too cold to work" Meanwhile the heat is probably going out through the cracks around the frame....
I wish I could move- these people are going to get cussed out.. The longer I stay here, the more words I come up with...
People coughing in public is seriously driving me crazy. I was at a long church event yesterday and the lady behind me had the worst cough and it made me literally tense up and cringe every time I heard it. STAY HOME IF YOU'RE SICK, PEOPLE!
So many things to bitch about! First - braxton hicks! I got a string of them today in the chiropractor's office, which was, for some fun reason, heated to about 300 degrees. Whenever I get braxton hicks, they make me nauseous, and whenever I get overheated, I feel faint, so I kept feeling like I was going to puke or pass out, and had to go outside every five minutes to get air. They were super sweet and brought me ginger ale and I eventually made it out of there without losing consciousness or puking, but jeez louise, I know it's January, but it's like 65 degrees outside. I don't think we need intensely heated offices, Los Angeles! And I seriously hate, hate, hate braxton hicks. Do they make anyone else nauseous? It's so annoying.
Oh, and the worst part was that the chiropractor basically echoed what my dr thought - there's nothing we can really do until the baby comes to help you feel better, re: sciatic nerve pain. So I guess I'll keep hobbling around on this cane another few weeks. Sigh.
The last two days I have been an emotional basket case. EVERYTHING annoys me. I want a clean house but I don't want to get off the couch. I feel lazy sitting on the cough and that annoys me. I want to go for a walk but it's icy outside and I'm afraid of falling. I feel more "blah/ick" then I have felt all pregnancy and I'm sure half of it is from sitting around dwelling on how "blah/ick" I feel. Vicious cycle I tell you. Vicious.
Just gonna precede my rant by saying that DH has actually been very sweet, and generally doesn't 'require' me to do anything regarding housework, even though he works and I don't (he doesn't do it himself, just doesn't care if it isn't done).
That said...
DH has just gone on a strict low carb diet and right at the time where I'm just too tired to cook much or stand in the kitchen and prep veggies etc, I'm suddenly finding myself desperately seeking new recipes I can cook for us, and having to spend a couple hours each evening in the kitchen trying to prep and cook and figure stuff out. To top it off, DH is making me get up with him at 6am or earlier so that I can make him his cooked breakfast in the morning and pack his lunch. After nights of poor sleep this feels particularly rough. There's a mountain of trash by the door that I'm waiting for him to take out (he said he would, it's heavy and we have to take it down the road), and the Christmas tree and decorations are still waiting to be put away as I struggle too much with the boxes. I just want everything to be done before baby comes, and I want to be able to sleep when I need it. And I want to be able to just order takeout or eat beans on toast for dinner!
@Ebiejay I would be nicely telling hubby that as soon as he helps you do things you would like to get done, you will consider helping him. If he wants to go on a crazy diet, he can learn to cook the crazy food!!
My bitchfest comes from coworkers calling me "mamma" it's driving me koo koo! "Hey mamma how you feeling?" Ugh! I've started answering "pregnant" and not elaborating lol.
Uh, my appetite! Holy moly, there's not enough food in the world. This is worse than my first tri! I just ate an entire dinner plate piled high in loaded chilli cheese fries... God help anyone who has to live in the same zip code as me. Sorry for the farts, neighbors! Also, I seriously hope I don't eat this much prior to going into labor. Bad bad thoughts.
Also, dog 1 and dog 2 are on my shit list. They insist on sleeping on SO's massive pile of dirty clothes next to the bed, like in between the dog kennel and the bed. At about 530 this morning, they were restless enough that one of them laid on the electrical cord to the floor lamp causing it to fall over. The other dog about had a heart attack and was doing everything to get to me and my side of the bed. The end, right? No. The dumbass dog did it AGAIN! But this time, the lamp fell on SO's face...
Edited to add one more reason to bitch. My phone has a health app that came pre-loaded. It has a pedometer and all that jazz. It keeps telling me, DAILY, that I an falling behind and need to be more active. Screw you! I'm pregnant!
Well, I've got a time for my C-section, and I've made arrangements for somewhere to sleep the night before, since the hospital is 2hours away and we have to be in the door by 5am. The bitch part is I STILL don't have anyone to watch the toddler since MIL will still be non-weight bearing on her ankle. I'm going to have to go alone, aren't I? Anyone near Bismarck and want to wake up SUPER early to watch a toddler?
And I signed a consent for today to have a tubal done. NOT during my C-section, (catholic hospital) but my OB has another procedure office and I can get it done around my 6 week appt. I've been crying all day about it. I'll have 5 kids, and I'm sure I'm done, but it's so final.
@Knottie82382906 I feel the same way. I usually say "just hanging in there" but I like the pregnant comment. Stomach bug you can leave our house. My little guy wants to feel better and I need my sick time for when baby comes.

Hubby did the low carb thing in the fall. I lean toward low blood sugar, and always have raging reflux, so I tried not to eat good stuff in front of him, and cooked for the family (we were fostering still then, so 4 boys) and if it wasn't something that fit his daily carb total, he would just throw a steak on, while I ate the craved donut in the bathroom. Lol As for me, I am crossing my fingers that either we go tonight (and growth scan was over estimated) or they can quickly scedule my C. I hoped for a vbac, but I am almost to the point of crawling to the bathroom because my pelvic bones feel crushed. I wake up for hours with painful contractions that are either BH or just stall out. I'm 40+2, (so over 9 kbs) and knowing if the scan was correct, he gained more than 1/2 lb a week, OR being built like a tiny football player, even Dr last week expressed concern he might be too big. I just can't take anymore.
So I go to Canada every year in the spring and summer because we have a family lake house up there. Every since I was a kid my favorite candy has been Nestle Smarties, which you can't get here. So my MIL, who knows how much I like them bought me some for Christmas. My boys and husband ate like half of them and I just had my first box!
I am a basket case. I am a pediatric nurse and my SO has been having health issues that no one can seem to figure out. The signs and symptoms point to a Endocrine issue that could be very severe for the baby since his mom told him that most of his family has had the same problems as him. But no one has said a word about it. The issues is hypoparathyroidism. The problem with that is that depending on what kind it is, my unborn daughter is at high risk for issues with it. Also babies born to diabetics have a higher risk for it anyways. The odds are against my baby and I am losing it over how his family won't communicate medical anything. My mom is a retired doctor so she is doing research and we are making a plan of what to do when this baby is born because besides that my placenta is failing and my Endo told me today I won't be making it to my induction date so I will be seen weekly now by them. Ugh!
And my window won't go up and it's cold outside. I just want to go hide in a cave!
You have smarties in Maine?? I'ma have to take a road trip soon (I'm in NH), since I can't get my precious Cadbury's here anymore I'll settle for the Nestle. I did get a backup stash from family to last me a bit though. @Monilee1017 I'd go mental if someone took my special chocolate stash! Hide the rest and make them pay for their thievery!
@Kellycrazymomma I like the idea of having steaks in he can cook himself, definitely saves me stressing! Also loving the donut idea... Good luck on baby coming soon, sounds like you have it pretty rough.
@Ebiejay We all have it rough at some point, and many have it much harder than me. I think I just have come to accept that If hubby's shoulders are twice your size, SS is 15 and a solid 220 lb kid that coaches BEG for, and your 5 year old has 95% BMI (he was a 34 weeker) and ped. Writes and underlines "not over weight" in his records, there is a point where reality must set in. Even if he's not too big yet, his chances don't get better by continuing to cook, and I imagine the section goes smoother if he isn't too stuck. Lol. We'll see what Doc says in the am!
A cat has given birth to kittens in my backyard. I see her outside our fence with dead rats and birds, little did I know she was bringing them into our backyard!!
I want them to leave but I don't know how to get them out! We don't have a no kill shelter to call so I just don't know what to do about it.
We can't even mow the grass because because there are kittens darting in and out of the grass by the fence.
I seriously do not want to mow over a kitten, but I'm really upset about the half eaten mouse carcasses and bloody bird feathers I'm going to have to pick up (or feel bad for husband having to pick up).
We haven't really been using our backyard as it's been rainy and cold so I figure that is why they are back there, they are basically safe and weren't ever disturbed.
Is there some kind of cat repellant anybody has heard of?
@PedsIsHardcore My family is awful about communicating medical history as well. It wasn't until my own diagnosis in my first trimester did my mother tell me about her precancerous scare at the age of 32 (two years older than I am) as well as that she, one of my aunts, and my grandmother all needed to have hysterectomies due to the same issues I'm currently dealing with. Why is it so hard for family to sit down and have that kind of conversation? Our kids already have the fact that daddy is adopted and we have no history for him nor do we have any for my father (hit it and quit it scumbag) why wouldn't they tell me anything I need to know?!
@GAgirlinSDakota I would come babysit for you if I could! Maybe try a temp babysitter or someone from care.com. I know it's hard to leave little ones with someone new. You should do what you feel comfortable with.
Will people please stop texting me!! No, I don't have any updates. If I did, you would know. If baby was born you would have a pic on your phone. STOP TEXTING ME!!!!
I have an ad on care.com and one on sittercity, and I've messaged a few people, but no one is biting. It is what it is I guess. I hate that SO's family is so full of shitty people that there is no one to even call as back up.
Edited to add one more reason to bitch. My phone has a health app that came pre-loaded. It has a pedometer and all that jazz. It keeps telling me, DAILY, that I an falling behind and need to be more active. Screw you! I'm pregnant!
I was JUST complaining to a friend about this today. Seriously for the last two weeks I get an alert every morning telling me to be more active. I don't carry my phone around all day and I don't have a fitbit thing so many of my steps aren't counted anyway. Despite this, I know I'm not getting as much exercise as I was a few months ago.... and I don't need my phone reminding me EVERY DAY.
Had a coworker today ask me if I knew I was pregnant!? Seriously guy? Almost 38 weeks and feeling massive. Really didn't need your sarcastic reminder of my appearance...
I took my car in today @ 2:30 for a scheduled oil change and tire rotation. Hubby works from 2-11pm so my brother offered to pick me up so I didn't have to wait! Well thank goodness he did bc after waiting 1.5 hrs I call and the car STILL isn't done. I have other things to do so I told them I wouldn't be back until the service dept was closed and if they could just leave my keys with the sales manager. Service guy says they will call me as soon as it's done. They Never called me back so I Show up and the service dept is closed for the night?! Are you kidding me?! These people have no idea where or who was responsible for my car! I'm literally 38weeks pregnant and your gonna tell me my car is stuck here for the night???? Ummmmm, NO! Needless to say, Service manager came back in and I got my car back! The kicker tho? They ask me how I want to pay?! Hmm, let me think, oh yeah!! I DONT WANT TO PAY! Soooo irritated at the lack of customer service and I'm not one to get nasty or irritated but REALLY?! ugh! Glad I could get that all out!
We're nothing alike. The only things we have in common is the year we graduated high school & the fact that we've both been pregnant (well, she had her baby a year ago and I'm pregnant). BUT. She's taken me being pregnant to mean I want all of her advice. And ALL OF HER HAND ME DOWNS. At first it was nice, her offering to give me things, and I just would politely nod my head and say "aw thank you". But then she came over with 5 garbage bags full of clothes, stuffed animals (why), shoes, socks (wtf), teething toys (gross)... etc. Literally it's as if she took everything her son used in his first year, threw them in a bag, and brought it over. My son is the first grand baby for my parents and also for SO's dad. He's the first great grandchild. He's already super spoiled from my close friends. I don't need all of these damn hand me downs from you, lady!!!!
Well anyway today she came over to return a baking pan and saw that a stuffed animal she had given me was on the dog bed, and was very very offended. "Oh I see Simba became a dog toy." YUP CUS I DONT WANT YOUR CHILDS USED STUFFED ANIMALS SO I GAVE IT TO MY FUR CHILD. Maybe I'm being an asshole. Idk.
This isn't really a bitch, but idk where else to put it, and I want to share. On the way to my appt this morning SO got a gas station breakfast burrito. It smelled funky, but he ate it even though I told him not to. He just texted me from work complaining about suddenly getting the shits. My only response? "I informed you thusly."
I'm right there with all the PPs that I'm getting tired of the same questions and comments. At church yesterday I think every single female asked "how are you feeling" which I'm sure is their way of being nice but I just answered, "you know, just huge and pregnant". My MiL has been saying "gosh you're getting kinda chunky haha" off and on for oh, I don't know 10+ weeks?! One lady asked me yesterday again what my due date was which I replied Jan 30. Her response "gosh, think you'll make it that far?!! You're so big" For the record I am perfectly normal sized for a 5ft tall 9 month pregnant woman!!!! There's also this teenage girl at church who is baby and kid obsessed and asks me every Sunday in the most annoying way how am I feeling and if I've decided to use my middle name (which also happens to be her middle name) for my daughter's names. JUST STOP PLEASE!
I swear, if I hear "sleep while you can" ONE MORE TIME I'm going to throat-punch somebody.
I hear it all the time (obviously), but posted a status that mentioned the baby earlier and all of the annoying comments started flowing. I got SIX "sleep while you can! Teeheehee" comments in a ROW.
First, like its news. Oh, really? I don't get a full-night's sleep with a newborn? That's how it works? Gosh, good thing you warned me. Second, it's completely redundant to echo the same lame advice that five people before you have said. Not to mention it sounds taunting and rude.

I hate everyone. Lol.
YES! This is sooo annoying to me. Also, the comments about how my current lack of quality sleep is "practice" for the when the baby is here. I don't need practice, what I really need is a good night's sleep right now.
Yes! And I want to be like "well which is it?!? Am I 'getting practice' or am I 'sleeping while I can'???" Oh please do tell!! Because I totally asked for all of these annoying comments anyways.. What I really can't grasp is, these comments usually come from people WITH kids. Did they already forget how annoying those comments were?!? Because personally, I'm sitting here vowing to never say them to anyone ever in the future.
It drives me extra nuts when those sleep while you can comments come from men with kids. My guy friends have said this to me multiple times. It's like uh, I bet your wife wasn't "sleeping while she could" in her third trimester of pregnancy because she was super pregnant and miserable and probably waking up every couple of hours! I haven't slept through the night in weeks and weeks, fellas! Ugh.
What I really can't grasp is, these comments usually come from people WITH kids. Did they already forget how annoying those comments were?!? Because personally, I'm sitting here vowing to never say them to anyone ever in the future.
So true! That's what I keep thinking-- how insensitive can you be? I've sworn to never say this to anyone. It ranks right up there with other patronizing (infuriating) things like telling a mom in the throes of morning sickness, "Just wait until (insert horrible symptom) starts in your third trimester!" Um, hello? Not. Helpful.
It drives me extra nuts when those sleep while you can comments come from men with kids. Ugh.
THIS . But I've got one slightly better. A guy I work with, whose wife is pregnant, let me repeat, WHOSE WIFE IS PREGNANT asked me if I was having twins because I was "huuuuuge."

Well anyway today she came over to return a baking pan and saw that a stuffed animal she had given me was on the dog bed, and was very very offended. "Oh I see Simba became a dog toy." YUP CUS I DONT WANT YOUR CHILDS USED STUFFED ANIMALS SO I GAVE IT TO
MY FUR CHILD. Maybe I'm being an asshole. Idk.
On the way to my appt this morning SO got a gas station breakfast burrito. It smelled funky, but he ate it even though I told him not to. He just texted me from work complaining about suddenly getting the shits. My only response?
"I informed you thusly."

I hear it all the time (obviously), but posted a status that mentioned the baby earlier and all of the annoying comments started flowing. I got SIX "sleep while you can! Teeheehee" comments in a ROW.
First, like its news. Oh, really? I don't get a full-night's sleep with a newborn? That's how it works? Gosh, good thing you warned me. Second, it's completely redundant to echo the same lame advice that five people before you have said. Not to mention it sounds taunting and rude.
I hate everyone. Lol.
What I really can't grasp is, these comments usually come from people WITH kids. Did they already forget how annoying those comments were?!? Because personally, I'm sitting here vowing to never say them to anyone ever in the future.
