I'll get us started. I have this awful cold from hell and its ruining me! I haven't been this sick in years. I feel like I have the "man flu." I literally laid in bed all day yesterday. I feel slightly better today but it's all settling in my chest. PLUS its making it super hard to drink all the water I need between my sore throat and the fact that NOTHING tastes good. Damn you, pregnancy-immunosuppression.

psherman42wwsa · October 2016

my work! I am on call 24/7 and I've been called and woke up in the middle of night almost every night this past week! after they call I cant go back to sleep and I just toss and turn.... I'm tired!

Jbananas4 · October 2016

I work in a small office and was asked loudly by a client/friend of the boss' (in front of everyone) whether I was pregnant. So now I don't want to announce my pregnancy EVER so I don't have to give her the satisfaction of being able to say she knew it from the super small amount of bloat that wasn't even from the baby I had only just found out that I was carrying!

ETA - I meant to say this but totally forgot because Monday lol
@ShadeofGreen816 ugh being sick during first tri sucks! Isn't feeling cruddy/morning sickness/etc enough as it is?!

Ewwww I'm sorry. People have no tact, I don't understand it.

Mine is totally a FWP. I was craving donuts, so we went to a local chain to get some. They're glorious. But while there, I discovered they started making breakfast sandwiches. And those have been my jam this pregnancy. I freaking love them. So I ordered one. And it was freaking disgusting. I don't know if I've ever been so disappointed in a food item.

And like @ShadeofGreen816 I've been stupidly sick with awful bronchitis and a sinus infection. I'm on my second round of antibiotics to kill the bacteria. Over it.

CherryBananas · October 2016

@ShadeofGreen816 I feel you. I've had a horrendous cold for the last week that started with a horrible sore throat. My only solace was peppermint halls and breathe right strips. I hope you start feeling better soon!

WombThereItIs · October 2016

Work today can blow me.

Im going to spend my whole day hunting for mistakes and waiting for someone to fix their work when she doesn't freaking return emails in a timely manner. I kind of hope she quits soon and I can get someone else.

The slowly increading tide of morning sickness definitely isn't helping me be any more patient or sympathetic.

emilyalso · October 2016

@ShadeofGreen816 - I had a KILLER sinus infection about 2 weeks ago. I even went to Urgent Care and got an antibiotic (which I decided was a placebo), and still couldn't kick it for EIGHT. DAYS. I was running a fever (which is what finally made me decide to go to the Doc) and I am still worried that it affected this baby. : /

SKZW · October 2016

@emilyalso
Me too! After a week of a horrible cough not getting better, I went to my PCP on Friday and she put me on an inhaled corticosteroid----umm, lady, I'm pregnant, and pregnancy and steroids don't mix---but she insisted---but it's category C and I was beyond worried. I consulted with the pharmacist and my OB (who had a great point: you and the baby both need oxygen, so take it)---but I can't help feeling that I've gotten things off on the wrong foot here... that I made the wrong choice in taking this medicine... that it's affected the baby.

I spent all weekend in near-panic-attack mode. My heart's racing just thinking about this little pea's development. Ok, ok, just breathe...

achays11 · October 2016

I feel horrible today, probably the worst that I've felt all pregnancy. It didn't help matters that DD was being very difficult this morning getting ready for school and then I left her school bag at home. I had to go back and get it and was 40 minutes late for work.

cnsdjs · October 2016

I overheard my boss telling someone Im pregnant. I was nice enough to tell them I was pregnant for them to have some warning to get a substitute teacher scheduled for the time I'm out. Thing is, my own father doesn't know I'm pregnant yet and she's blabbing to God and country about it.

MamaMiller · October 2016

My job, I love it but sometimes people just annoy me... today I had to deal with a set of divorced parents- it sounded like a bunch of teenage drama!

Luckyu317 · October 2016

Was out of town overnight Sat-Sun. Started bleeding and had to go to a strange ER (Had an US, everything is fine). Poor H was running his first ever marathon Sun morning, and by the time we got back to hotel from ER he only got 3 hrs of sleep before the race. He did great though. Then, because a trip to the ER wasn't enough, we came home and my oldest ran in to go pee; he runs out of the bathroom screaming "there's a mouse in the toilet!!". Giant mouse crawled up through a Pipe and ended up in the damn toilet. We searched everywhere and figure that's the only way he could have got in. Yuck. My poor DS is scared now and keeps saying "I saw another one". He didn't lol

SKZW · October 2016

@Luckyu317 awww... poor kid! that might take some time to get over.

Luckyu317 · October 2016

I know. He seems okay. Now he keeps saying "I wonder why that mouse came into our house?". We just keep telling him there was only one, and it's gone now.

RissaAnnmaria562 · October 2016

We just came back from a 3 day vacation in Las Vegas around 10:30 last night. Although the trip was easy and smooth, my body is taking time to recover. My head hurts, I feel weak, nauseous, overall just drained. Feels like a hangover almost which is funny cause obviously I didn't drink or party. We just lounged, went shopping and ate.

Kipperoo · October 2016

Luckyu317 , that's terrifying and traumatizing...I had no idea things could really crawl up a toilet pipe! Eek!!

Kipperoo · October 2016

My husband was diagnosed with pneumonia last week...I understand that it's uncomfortable, exhausting, etc...but I honestly can't listen to one more day of him complaining about his symptoms. I try to keep my pregnancy related complaints to a minimum because I know they are annoying-- "how are you feeling?" is usually replied with "same old--maybe a little more/less xxx". He just goes on and on about how uncomfortable he is. I get it, no one likes being sick, but it's hard for me to have much sympathy. Also, this illness apparently has affected his ability to do simple tasks like putting a plate in the dishwasher--he gets it all the way over there and just leaves it on the counter...among many, many other minor annoyances.

RainyDays86 · October 2016

@Kipperoo oh my husband must have pneumonia too since he never EVER puts his dishes in the dishwasher. Does it also affect their ability to put things in the recycle bin in the garage?

I caved this morning and had a half caf coffee to try to get some productivity back in my life. It made me super nauseous and unable to think/work/focus. I feel like I wasted my coffee intake for the week.

arels483 · October 2016

I had a craving for sugar this afternoon. I tried to open a Lemonhead package with my teeth and chipped my tooth! The only appointment the dentist could get me is 8am tomorrow, my day off. I was so looking forward to sleeping in...

bacorrea · October 2016

I'm so over beachbody people. Seriously go away. My friend messaged me again today and was like "I know you said no before, but I just think you'd be great at it." I was just like "First off no, that stuff doesn't go over well in the military wife world because EVERYBODY is selling something. Second off I'm pregnant and shouldn't be loosing weight, so bye"

so annoying

chickyclg · October 2016

I'm having the hardest time finding an OB. At first I was set on someone that would do a VBAC, but apparently I am somehow too high risk for for 2 of the doctors I called today. The OB that delivered my twins is no longer delivering babies and this is becoming a nightmare. Thankfully I'm still with my RE but I should be getting graduated soon.

L1C4gal · October 2016

@Luckyu317 Oh your poor son! That is one of my fears that I thought was irrational (only I usually think about snakes rather than mice). I feel both validated and terrified that it's a real possibility

Luckyu317 · October 2016

@L1C4gal, I know! We checked the garage, all around the kitchen, the pantry, half-bath near the kitchen, and all of the other nooks. Nothing looked disturbed, and there were no open food boxes/bags (our first clue at our old house when we had mice), so the crawling up pipe option seems to me the only one. Also I have no idea how it would have ended up in the toilet if it didn't come up that way.

@chickyclg Same! My BMI of 44.5 is apparently too close to the high risk BMI of 45 for OBGYN who classify themselves as high risk, despite that my blood pressure is currently normal and I have a clean blood panel. It has been a nightmare trying to find an OB! I even had an u/s "confirmation of pregnancy" appointment scheduled with one who called and cancelled on me the day before (once they recieved my transferred records) stating my weight was too high (242 lbs.) even for their 3 "high risk" doctors they have on site. Every place I've called was referring me to specialized high risk clinics that are 45 mins to an hour away from me! This is my first pregnancy so it seems a bit ridiculous, but I finally have an appointment with one on October 12th. I'll be 10 weeks by the time I see one. Glad I am not alone with the OB headaches!

That's bonkers! I'm about 320 lbs, and I see a standard OBGYN. He never mentioned anything about me even being high risk with my last one. My first doc (with my oldest child) did lecture me about my weight, and told me I was not to gain a single pound. She said I needed to lose at least 5-10 lbs. I lost 60. And baby was completely healthy. With my second, I'd changed doctors and practices (I didn't like how the first doctor handled my csection). And I was the one to bring up my weight to him. He's so laid back. He said "sure, you can lose weight. Whatever you're comfortable with". I lost 45 lbs that time.

At any rate, I'm so sorry you're having such a hard time finding a doctor! Seems crazy to me!!
