But know I'm totally judging you!

cabu14 · June 2016

I'll confess.. I'm a little worried.. I went from being over the moon - can't stop thinking about being KU and can't stop reading everything there is to know... to not excited and not even wanting to talk about it really.. IDK if it is the nasty morning sickness (peppermint candies are helping though!!) or just the total ick feeling I have had lately.. but this weird emotional feeling is def something I wasn't expecting! Is there such a thing as pre-pardem depression? I feel like I sound so stupid and totally against anything I thought I would be.

I think ups and downs are totally normal - even if it's planned and you're excited about it, adding a baby is a huge change and it can be overwhelming to think about. You can bring it up at your next appointment (or call if you really are concerned). FX you feel back to your normal self soon!

My fffc: I am not drinking as much water as I should today because we are driving 8 hours total and I don't want to stop every 30 minutes to pee.

I took the day off of work because my daughter's school is closed. I know I should be savoring this time with her, but after spending almost all day with a toddler while dealing with MS I really just want my husband to come home early so I can hide from everyone.

cjs260 · June 2016

@cabu14 I've been going through something similar. I definitely think it's pretty normal, especially with the first tri being so ridiculously hard, having to hide your pregnancy (for the most part), and just the general feeling of grossness.

@ceclarlinetlo I totally did that this week while H and I were traveling so much. Just get some extra water when you get stopped

My FFFC: I had the day off work today and was totally planning on being productive and getting my house spotless. It took me all day to get my bedroom cleaned. I'm *very* particular about the state of my house, and being so tired and sick feeling is not conducive to this.

Dinozaur · June 2016

I used MS as an excuse to not attend a meeting at work the other day, even though I wasn't feeling that bad at the time.

Teach123 · June 2016

I can't stand my dog right now. He's still a puppy, so there are some annoying aspects to him. He is jumping on people constantly, and he nips and bites all the time. He is always under foot, and I trip over him. He needs obedience training before the baby gets here. Ugh, thank goodness he's cute.

TinaBelcher · June 2016

My OB told me this afternoon that I should gain about 50# with this pregnancy and I almost shit myself. TERRIFYING.

(My brain legit shut down for a minute. I feel so vain and stupid for that but ho.ly.shit.

I don't wanna!!)

hayhay2501 · June 2016

@cabu14 I feel the SAME way. I very much wanted a baby and was so excited when I found out but now I just feel stressed about it. And at the lowest points worry that I've made a terrible mistake and my life is over. Plus I've started dreading telling my boss. My company was so flexible with me through my mom's sickness that I'm worried they're going to hate me when I tell them. I think there are just so many changes happening and it's all a LOT to process. Especially with a first baby!! Hopefully I start feeling excited again soon...

cabu14 · June 2016

@hayhay87 exactly!! wow I am glad I am not alone. I look forward to when I feel normal and happy again!!

christac1010 · June 2016

I gave up trying to hide my bump at work even though I haven't announced it. I notice people checking out my bump, but I work with a lot of men in Engineering so I doubt they'll say anything. Also it's kind of helped me really embrace pregnancy! Like here is my adorable bump - sorry I'm mean to you sometimes but now you know why!

Side note... I ate almost half of a container of banana peppers from the Farmers Market this week. I don't even care. They're delicious.

Omg cabu14 thank you for saying something first..pre-pardem depression? I thought I was the only one and I was feeling so guilty which is like a merry go round for the emotions.

FFFC: I feel WAY too emotional and needy. I caught myself getting in an argument with H because he wasn't saying I love you or good morning when he woke up. Just rolling out of bed and waltzing into the bathroom without eye contact. So I flipped.. maybe I should maybe I shouldn't of ...either way..when will this unexpected neediness go away?

TinaBelcher · June 2016

ACOG suggests that 14-23% of women experience some degree of depression during pregnancy- it's not uncommon and it's not your fault!

RocksInTheWater · June 2016

@cabu14 You are definitely not alone. I've been through the emotional ringer with trying to have another baby that I have not connected to this baby at all. Knowing there is a little complication going on with this pregnancy is not helping. I want to be so excited about this pregnancy but I'm having a hard time thinking this baby will actually become a reality. Plus, I think of how hard it is going to be with 2 kids and it makes me stressed. I feel so guilty that I feel down about it all but I'm hoping that things will start to change further along down the road.

Kurtni · June 2016

@Teach123 if you can spring for some obedience classes, it's so worth it. Made such a difference in my puppy. I felt kind of lazy having someone else train my dog, but hey it worked.

Lecool · June 2016

Big hugs @cabu14. Never feel guilty about how you feel.

Well - guess I learned the hard way that not staying hydrated = barfing. Learn from me ladies - just drink enough and take the bathroom breaks.

My FFFC: I am a doppler addict, I have listened for baby a few times so far, but tonight was the first night I heard a heartbeat

It was pretty awesome to eavesdrop in for a minute or two.

EH112212 · June 2016

This morning when my husband got home (he works overnights) I told him I was still tired from having been up with our son the last two nights. He told me to go take a nap, I went upstairs and played Oregon Trail on my phone.

Knottie1443924966 · June 2016

H's adult son went into our freezer and ate my last vanilla drumstick. We eat a pregnant hormonal woman's icecream?

H's adult son went into our freezer and ate my last vanilla drumstick. Why eat a pregnant hormonal woman's icecream?

Oops didn't realize this was a confession place. My confession is that I want to punch him in the face lol

colleenkevin · June 2016

@TinaBelcher 50 pounds?! That would freak me out too.

emilyn2012 · June 2016

I gained 60lbs with my one daughter even though I ate pretty well and exercised.....

ThePax89 · June 2016

@TinaBelcher I'm probably going to be flamed to shit for saying this, but for a lot of people, that weight dissapears quickly after birth. Think: 2 babies and not having time to eat. Also, breastfeeding 2 babies (if that's what you choose) will consume more than 1000 calories/day.

amaren-2 · June 2016

@Teach123 Not only obedience classes but I would recommend a dog book specific for bringing a baby into the fold. I read Good Dog Happy Baby and implementing some of his techniques really help with my 3 year old crazy beagle! I was amazed!

My Confession is that we told the in-laws yesterday and I am so scared they are going to spill the beans to all the extended family/ friends. I sort of regret telling them. We are visiting them for the weekend and I feel like when we visit other people I have to remind them "we aren't telling anyone else until later." Otherwise I fear they would bring ite up in conversation.

sagoon · June 2016

My diet has already turned to crap with this pregnancy. My brain just justifies everything with 'I'm eating for two!'. Last time I gained 55 lbs and I REALLY don't want to do that again.
