Okay, go.

I have eaten McDonald's breakfast twice a week since I got pregnant.

MrsDramaK · June 2016

I poop at work every day and giggle in my office when other people get blamed for the stink.

I wore maternity pants today. I'm so bloated in my ute and my regular pants have been uncomfortable. With all the nausea/MS I've been having I will take any opportunity to cut discomfort. No shame in my game.

WinchesterGirl · June 2016

I took Wednesday off this week so I could lay around the house and do nothing. It was fantastic.

I have done about 10 minutes of work today. With any luck, I'll only have to do 10 minutes more. And I plan to leave early anyways, because Friday!

CallMeLauraJane · June 2016

I drink a 32oz Bargs with caffeine every damn day because YUM.

My husband just took my boys to the shop to get new tires put on, because I was "feeling sick". Really and truly, I just needed an hr with no one destroying my house so I could tidy it up and feel ok about it for a little while. And I wanted to do my meal planning and list making in peace.

I was vegetarian for a couple years before becoming pregnant. I have been crazy craving a mcdonalds burger. I fully sent hubs to the golden arches last night. He kept asking if I was serious and if I was sure. My iron is very low so I'm sure that has to do with the wild meat craving. But it was so damn good.

PerraSucia · June 2016

Between bloat and drugs my pants are soooo tight that I'm either going to have to suck it up and buy fat pants or wear my maternity pants.

Or buy dresses and shave my legs.

Boo to both.

varimama · June 2016

Since DH and I work together he always comes to my cube at the end of the day when we go home. He always seemed to know if I cheated on my diet and turns out he just saw the wrappers in my trash can. Now if I have a snack I don't want him to know about I bury the wrapper under trash or balled up paper if I just emptied my trash can. He thinks I've been doing really good for months now. I buried my salt and vinegar chip bag yesterday and I'm thinking I'll need to bury Fritos today...

Jlk2016 · June 2016

My son (2) and I shared a snickers for mid morning snack. Well kind of, I ate pretty much all of it before he could chew his first bite

I just haven't gotten the courage to do it yet. Like it goes against everything I believe but I also believe this baby is the most important thing to me and I need to make sure it is given the best chance. I think I'm going to try to just start with fish, they are still animals to be but idk it was the last meat I gave up when I went veg so I guess it makes sense it'd be the first to add back...

feelingjovani · June 2016

My boss is on vacation so I "worked" from home yesterday and today. My afternoon calls got cancelled both yesterday and today so I gave up at 1pm both days because I just need a nap.

MonaLisaRalphio · June 2016

My lunch today consisted of tortilla chips with salsa. Then I had brownie bites for dessert. #adult

Ahhh McDonald's breakfast sounds so good right now.

Xstatic3333 · June 2016

Awww @marriedhamstermom, don't be hard on yourself. If you don't want or crave meat, I think it's definitely possible to be a healthy, pregnant vegetarian. I'm technically pescatarian, but I normally eat very little fish and honestly the idea of most fish really grosses me out right now. I don't think bringing back other meat would be doable for me. I'm just trying to be really good about my dark leafy greens, eggs every morning, some dairy every day, humus and peanut butter snacks, and a prenatal with iron. I'm handicapped by a tree nut allergy or else I'd try to do the whole afternoon almond snack thing too. I really believe that just doing your best to eat a varied diet is okay for the baby.

That said, nothing wrong with eating meat if you want to for peace of mind or craving reasons. If I do crave a hamburger or something later on I will certainly not beat myself up about it. Growing people is hard.

My FFFC confession is that I don't like talking about bathroom functions. I can do it when I need to. I've worked at preschools and have a dog and can woman up to convey appropriate pee and poop information to parents, the vet, etc. I just don't like it and I'm not ever going to.

poofwok · June 2016

Me and my 2 yr old ate chips as a morning snack yesterday. Without realizing it we got through almost the whole bag. I looked down at him and told him I was a bad parent. He actually smirked at me.

peachesnbean · June 2016

As soon as my boss leaves I am going to walk across the street to MCD's for a milkshake.

SPurp13 · June 2016

My kid and I ate cheez-its for dinner last night. She also had a pouch and some berries and melon. But it's not really a great meal.

This has been going on for several weeks now. I make organic home-made shit and freeze it ahead for her to take to the babysitter's or my MIL's, and when she gets home, it's like "here, have some fruit and crackers," because we've been doing a huge remodel, and my husband (who does the cooking) has been working on running the electrical until after normal dinner time for at least a few weeks. Which means I'm in charge. So. Sandwiches and crackers and fruit for dinner.

I mean. Like, a lot of cheez-its. She came to me at least 2 times and turned her bowl upside down and said "ALL GOM." I had to keep her topped off so I could eat my LUNCH MEAT sandwich in the kitchen.

catiecatp · June 2016

I'm not happy - not like I was with my first pregnancy. I think it is partly the MC and partly having so much on my plate.

DH and I have had a relationship issue come to light that has been stressing me out since January - on some levels we should have waited to TTC but believe there will never be a "good" time - we've been waiting for several years now. It isn't so bad that we'll divorce, it isn't something we can ignore - but I don't know how we'll fix it... We want 2 kids with some spacing so the first needs to come soon-ish (I have/had older parents - mom was 40, dad was 52 - dad had serious illness and I'm scared of being an older parent). A friend and I were talking yesterday - she knows about the MC and relationship issues - and expressed surprise that we were still trying. She doesn't know I'm KU. It hurt. Her freakin' marriage ain't doing so hot either (she loves her DH and 3 kids but doesn't love being a part time SAHM and she doesn't love her marriage...). It is making me wonder if we've making a mistake.

Then there is a big international move and new job - so I have a lot to figure out in the next month. Health care coverage is causing the most stress right now - employer benefits won't kick in for 60 days and I can't have 75 days of no coverage...

Tennis11785 · June 2016

I'm so glad I'm not the only one having trouble being productive at work!

peachesnbean · June 2016

One more: I am so sick of people "hoping" this baby is a boy. Yes, we have 2 daughters, but they are beautiful and smart and funny little girls! What is the obsession with one of my children having a penis?! I can't tell you how many times since we announced we've gotten so many "fingers crossed" for a boy. Every time someone says it I feel like asking them what their deal is. What if I want another girl... that's kind of rude, then, huh?

Starfish113 · June 2016

@catiecatp I'm sorry you're got so much on your plate! I will say that you guys should try your best to face your issues head on right now. Maybe even a counselor or something. Babies magnify every little thing that is already wrong in a relationship. I unfortunately learned that the hard was with my exH.

angeltennis3 · June 2016

Once, when DD was little, I was driving around and she fell asleep in her car seat. I knew if I got her out of the car, she would wake up and I just desperately needed some me time. I parked in a semi-secluded shady spot and watched Netflix on my phone.

The true confession is I really REALLY had to pee but wasn't going to leave DD unattended in the car....so I definitely go out and peed behind a bush a few feet away from the car.

Things I am willing to do for "me time"

varimama · June 2016

Thanks @Xstatic3333! That makes me feel a lot better. It's still hard because I know DH (a meat eater) is really pushing for me to eat meat because he believes that the baby won't be healthy without it... I mean he's not pushy pushy, he's letting me take my time but I know that's what he wants. I do think he respects me enough that if I could show him I'm making healthy choices for the baby he would be ok with me not eating it. My only meat craving so far have been for a ham sandwich and I only got it after I read about the dangers of deli meat so pretty sure it's one of those now that I can't have it I want it things...

varimama · June 2016

Oh I thought of another one for today. I must be really tired because I'm letting all of my electronics "rest". Like our Roku has been acting kind of weird lately so today I unplugged it and left it sitting by the TV and DH was like "What are you doing" so I explained since it's been so wonky I decided to let it relax. He was like "You know that isn't how electronics work right?" I just shrugged. I also just told my work laptop it could take the weekend off because I'd be shutting it down (I usually don't unless I'm going to be out for like 2 weeks). I need a nap...

I majored in electrical engineering so yea I know that's how it works but I feel like it can't hurt...

I knew I would have to eat some meat, as I cant keep down enough high iron veg to get enough and iron supps make me super sick. But for 2 weeks now I have looked st meat and cant do it. Seeing a chicken breast or other meat source in front of me just turns my stomach. But I think if meat is in something it wont be as hard? Like lasagna. I wont be looking at it the same. I hope.

PerraSucia · June 2016

@catiecatp my H and I did a shit ton of counseling before DS and the week I found out I was pregnant someone said something about how we better not have kids. I still haven't spoken to this person and it's been over 3 years. Also my H and I figured our shit out and are happy and excited about each other and this other persons life still sucks.

I agree that it's tooooootally out of line for anyone to share their thoughts on someone else's marriage and pregnancy. I'd be really hurt too.

catiecatp · June 2016

Thanks ladies - I know we'll be stronger once we figure this out - and we are trying. DH doesn't think a counsellor will help - if it gets worse I'll push harder. For now I've spoken with a social worker who does some therapy sort of stuff (helps you find resources) and have a plan to reduce my stress in other areas of life. DH is better right now than before the BFP in terms of being more understanding. I won't cut this person out of my life yet - plus I am moving so distance friends will be an option where I can ignore her for periods of time when I need/want to. I do like her - but if she says something again I may loose my shit and not care.

Oh that's a good idea. DH had made a bunch of chicken one day and was like are you sure you don't want one? It totally turned my stomach but having it in something is a good idea!

momousekee · June 2016

I'm hating food, and whining every time I have to eat or drink.

The stomach flu set off my gastroparesis and every time I have a bite of food or a sip of beverage it's painful and I went straight from "Must eat all the things!" to "Ick. Food? I really have to do -that- again?" overnight. To the point I just gave up on my breath mint as too painful.

WTH troll body!

WinchesterGirl · June 2016

@catiecatp Knowing you have a problem and working on it is OVER half the battle. You guys will get through this!

KyCat · June 2016

So, hopefully I'm not the only one that does the "sniff test" on certain clothing items (like jeans and bras) to see if I can wear them more than once between washings. That part is not the confession.
Last night, I sniffed a pair of my jeans, didn't smell anything, folded them and put them back in the drawer. Then I remembered that I have a cold right now, so I can't really smell anyway. Then THAT made me realize that earlier yesterday when I was at work, I farted near some other people, and I know they couldn't hear it, and I had thought that it didn't smell, but maybe it did?! I have no way of knowing!

SweetT · June 2016

I can't wait for preschool to start back up again. Being home every day with a 3.5 yo who doesn't nap is draining!
I have no patience right now and at the end of the day I'm sad at how many times I have to walk away to keep myself from yelling. I have no MS, no fatigue, no symptoms at all really, so I really have no excuse for having such a bad temper.

I feel you!!! I have my 3 young kids home with me all summer too. In the fall I'll have two in school which I find myself looking more and more forward to...

ohstars · June 2016

I still put my 2yo boy in rompers on the weekends. My girlfriends make fun of me that he's too old but I think he's the cutest in his little outfits. I'm pretty sure they stop making them after 24mo, so this is really the last couple of months he will fit in them anyways.

My guy just grew out of his last ones. I'm in mourning.

My confession: today really needs to a sex day. Want to make the husband happy but... yeah, I'm really not feeling it. Such is life.

I'm not in exactly the same boat, but understand. My marriage is stronger than ever, but we faced some potentially devastating news in January. I'm not sure trying to have another baby was smart, but I'm 35, I never dreamed it would only take one month, and I got sick of putting our lives on hold for something that is 100% not our fault. I'm just hoping it reaches a conclusion and we get closure soon. I can't enjoy this pregnancy until we do...and I'm nervous people who know the situation will not approve of this baby or love it.

Lurking...

I never had any real "symptoms" until closer to the end, but through my ENTIRE pregnancy, I was both bitchy and sensitive at the same time. I COULD NOT deal with people or any trying situations. So I think maybe it's normal?
