FFFC

bornmommy · February 2016

Thought I'd start it since I didn't see it and I have one.

Please be warned - not all confessions are flame free. You might get burned.

ETA - BAM! Figured it out. Thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW

PeggyOlsonFTW · February 2016

I hate when people write "bbs" instead of boobs or breasts. We're all grown ups and everyone on this board has them. FFS, just write the full word!

@bornmommy Use the icon that looks like a piece of paper with the upper right corner folded down. You can just paste the image URL there and it'll work.

I was on Weight Watchers before I found out I was pregnant, and I was doing great. Now I'm still trying to count points but my heart's not in it. At least I binged on Veggie Straws instead of Doritos last night.

And I want a milkshake.

Crap, it's too early for a food FFC, and I've gone and done it anyway. Sorry.

I can't stand many OBGYNs I work with. I think there is lots of fear mongering and after being in the birth world so a few years, its getting harder for me to hold my tongue about the insane lack of evidence based care my clients receive.

Also, on a lighter note, I hate bunnies. The are over grown rats and should never be allowed into someone's house as pet. Don't get me started on birds...

bornmommy · February 2016

@sparklegrump its never too early for food confessions. pregnant or not.

I've started taking certain things my doctor says with a grain of salt. She's a Family practitioner. Every time before this one I was charting and knew exactly when I ovulated, but she insisted on using LMP to find my DD. Until the first ultrasound proves me right.

I mean, she provides a service, and with major things I trust her judgment, but I've done tons of research (not just on the interwebz) and I feel pretty informed.

bornmommy · February 2016

@sparklegrump - Yep! Not to mention, you pay for that service. its your body, your baby, you labor. women are forgetting that left and right still and its crazy! Your doctors is there for the safety of your baby but you still need to make informed decisions about your care. I mean... Yellow?! the cesarean rate in our country is INSANE and the infant mortality rate doesn't make connections that we are helping women by enforcing certain "policies" and "procedures" **stepping of soapbox**

CTRMommyof4 · February 2016

I ate like a piggy over the last couple months and am starting this pregnancy about 15 pounds over where my weight usually sits. I have a feeling this will be my largest weight yet when I deliver, and I give zero cares!

smmatt08 · February 2016

I have a very strict "no jellybean left behind" rule. I've eaten an entire bag this week.

Edited because half my post disappeared.

PrimRoseMama · February 2016

I have been having a cold or whatnot for the last two weeks. Like, gnarly mucus cough and now my ears hurt and my throat hurts. I took tylenol and secretly wished I could take the serious cold meds that I take when not pregnant. I didn't, but I have been really feeling the fatigue plus this cold/crud/whatever it is.

I guess my worthy confession is that I've been drinking more than I should with coffee just to make it through. Everyone in my house is sick and those of you with kids know-- mom is never allowed to just be a lump on the couch when she feels like death. I've been doing projects with the kids (thank you pipe cleaners and sock puppet materials) and circle time-- but after about 4 hours of constant play etc. with the kids I feel exhausted and resort to PJ masks or a movie. Add the blooming nausea and I don't know how much TV my kids will be watching while I puke my guts out. I am in survival mode and right now I don't give any F's.

It really does suck we don't get sick days. I'm not looking forward to when morning sickness hits. Hope you feel better soon!

ElizaAnne · February 2016

@PrimRoseMama my thoughts on survival mode are this: at least you're still surviving and you haven't given up yet. That means tomorrow might be better than today and even if it's not that's ok, because BARELY making it, is still making it, and in my mind that's still success.

iceandsnowflakes29 · February 2016

I've been driving around town running errands wearing my husband's coat (long and baggy ) and ugg house shoes with purple socks. I'm comfortable though!

smmatt08 · February 2016

@bornmommy Don't flame me but I have to confess, I was super sad when I logged on this morning and saw this thread had already been started because <insert super whiny voice> I signed up to start the FFFC and not you so that's not fair! I'll blame the hormones and my lack of breakfast at that point. Haha, sorry, I really could care less, I just had to confess my moment this morning

artcheese · February 2016

I am so happy that TB isn't all unicorns and rainbows. Back in the day some of the ladies were ruthless of jumping on people without hearing the whole story, so I am glad to see that go. But I am glad we can still have adult discussions without it turning into something you'd see going down in a middle school bathroom.

And I suck at FFFC, they always come to me in the beginning of the week and I always forget them by Friday.

katiegeminimoon · February 2016

I'm off work today and have done nothing but watch 3 movies and done a few loads of laundry (definitely haven't put them away). I don't plan to do much the rest of the day either!

I wear one of my DH's jackets, pretty much at all times. Who cares! You do comfy, cause you should.

FFFC: I am making my husband get a new car because I refuse to let him put a baby in the back of a mustang.

I am not a laundry folder. Never have been. We'll see if the nesting period changes that.

AmMcc12 · February 2016

I haven't folded laundry from last week yet

SnobunnieMel · February 2016

I must confess: I am shamelessly entertained by all of the responses in one of our "other posts"
It is my time killer between surgeries

katiegeminimoon · February 2016

For probably 2 months I used the guest bed as a clean laundry pile holder. I'm trying to be better, but I don't feel like hauling the baskets up from the basement right now.

emmaaa · February 2016

I told my best friend we were expecting today even though DH wanted to wait until we told his mom first. I just couldn't contain my excitement though.

br0co1ii · February 2016

I got McDonald's today after a ridiculous lecture from my chiropractor about how I need to read everything possible about my pregnancy so that it won't stress me out. Then, I was stuck in a long line at the car wash while eating said McDonald's, and got annoyed, so I got out of line, and got more McDonald's.

My OB said she recommends no caffeine intake during pregnancy. I smiled and said "of course", but I have full intention of drinking a cup of coffee or two cups of tea per day.

Holla. Anyone who can kick caffeine completely while working night shift gets mad props.

PrimRoseMama · February 2016

They'll have to pry the coffee/tea from my fat fingers.

br0co1ii · February 2016

I'm well aware that today is not Friday, but I didn't want to start a new thread...
My FFSC is that the only reason I cleaned the toilet today is because I know I'm going to be up close and personal with it in the near future. Otherwise, it would go on my ignore it and hope the cleaning fairy will come list.
