Monday Bitch Fest - December 5

MaryNog · December 2016

we haven't had MBF in forever, you guys are all too nice. Vent away, lovely pregnant ladies!

MaryNog · December 2016

I have no motivation to work anymore. Just want to stay home and take naps. Makes me feel guilty, unprofessional, and ungrateful.

LastMango · December 2016

Knowing this baby will most likely be here this month has me giving ZERO fucks at work. #sorrynotsorry

katesmama0706 · December 2016

I'm just done. I'm not necessarily uncomfortable or anything but I'm so ready for her to just be here. Everyone and their dog has warned me about how awful the transition to two kids is gonna be so even though I'm sure we'll all survive it I'm ready to just get the transition over with. Plus I wanna meet this little thing and see what her personality is going to be!

hayhay2501 · December 2016

I am 10000% with everyone. I'm currently sitting on a bean bag at work with my laptop facing the wall and I've done zero work in about three hours. Absolutely no motivation. Someone came over and asked if I could present a project I'm finishing up on the 20th and I just wanted to point at my belly and say no way. Help me get motivation because I actuallly have to finish this project

.

hjmorgan-2 · December 2016

Every week is just more and more uncomfortable... I can't hunch over at all. If I do LO starts freaking out and wiggling all over the place. So I am constantly sitting in this leaning/legs spread out position. So my lovely brother keeps coming on my "Conan the barbarian" style positions. Sitting, picking something up, squatting down to sweep stuff up, etc.

I just tell him "I have a child's HEAD basically between my legs right now, YOU try maneuvering 'gracefully' under those circumstances!"

newyearsbaby5 · December 2016

@MaryNog i am so with you. However, I don't feel guilty about it whatsoever. All over the world, women who are this far along are expected to start their leave prior to delivery for these very reasons. Our bodies have been through so much and we're at the end of the marathon and no sleep and all the aches.

H and I were talking last night about my job/getting a promotion hopefully soon/all of that stuff and i told him honestly, I don't even care about that right now. My main concerns everyday are not peeing myself at work with the baby on my bladder (but hey! my rib pain is gone so I'll take the bladder pouncing), not moaning too load with pelvic pain, and not googling too many things during the day to freak me out about pregnancy and/or labor. The struggle is real! There is no way I can focus on being a good employee and I give zero effs about that. So... you're not alone... and go easy on yourself!

therealfrizzle · December 2016

So glad I'm not the only one with no motivation. All I want to do is lay down and cuddle with my snuggly cat. She's actually become very in tune with the areas of my stomach that needs extra weight and warmth. I have literally nothing to do, no one has requested my assistance, so I'm just trying to keep entertained on the interwebs. I don't know how I can do this after maternity leave knowing Baby will be with someone other than me while I sit and twiddle my thumbs.

christac1010 · December 2016

Currently on the phone attempting to return a call to my STD provider. It's been 45 minutes. I'm so close to saying screw it. Especially because I have to pee.

I'm ready for him to be here. The aches and pains are becoming intense. Every little change makes me question if it's the beginning of labor. I know everyone says you'll know when it happens, but I'm ready now. Let's get this show going!

CGless · December 2016

Last night my 2.5 year old yelled for me because he dropped his soother on the ground and couldn't find it. Then 2 hours later he didn't get his pjs pulled down far enough and peed on his pants. Then an hour later my 15 month old daughter decided to wake up and scream for me. She threw her bunny out of her bed and yelled at it until I came back in and gave it back to her. An unexpected amount of snow came down last night and my 20 minute commute was over 2 hours. Thank god i'm down to working half days and I'm going to bed!!!

Kurtni · December 2016

I feel all of you about work. I am staying home with the baby for the first year and not returning to work, so I literally can't be bothered with anything. I gave my notice already to stay until they find my replacement or December 30th, whichever comes first. I am just a butt in a seat at this point and everyone knows it.

litzi-2 · December 2016

@christac1010 i've made so many calls to my STD people, HR people and clinic its absolutely crazy. Probably 30-40 phone calls already. Finally got paid (incorrectly...) this past friday after being out of work since 10/10. i definitely understand your frustration, lol!!

I'm probably the only one that wishes I could work. I really miss my job and having interactions with people. Its lonely at home!

christac1010 · December 2016

@Litzi I don't miss work so much as I miss social interaction and having something to do during the day. We watched Elf over the weekend and I was dying at the part where Buddy calls his dad and won't stop talking on the phone about random things. I kept apologizing to DH because I'm like this is me!

And I haven't been paid since the first week of November so I'm definitely feeling your pain!

katesmama0706 · December 2016

@christac1010 yesssss "it's like omg I haven't talked to a grown up all dayyyy talk to meeeee"

azwildcat62 · December 2016

It is driving me absolutely crazy that I can't tell if baby's head is down or not! At my last u/s at 30 weeks he was head down. For being 35 + 3 I feel like he still moves positions a lot and it really confuses me. I was pretty sure I knew the position & then did the push on the butt test this morning & the end I thought were his feet moved instead. Making his head up high. Ahh!

laufisch · December 2016

I just want to be able to breath again. I asked my OB last week if he would be dropping soon, and she said it might not be for a couple more weeks

.

Also breathing this week is definitely more difficult than breathing last week. At least I'm 35 weeks and don't have that much longer.

AlabamaRedhead · December 2016

I just want to eat and not fee like shit. Like, I want to enjoy the holidays and eat and not fee like I'm going to explode or throw up. Why wasn't Christmas like 2 months ago when I was a bottomless pit. Drop already! DROP BABY!!!

ashanne88 · December 2016

@AlabamaRedhead I feel you so much. It's like I'm either hungry, uncomfortably full or nauseated. There's no middle ground.

I only have 2 weeks maximum left at work. I'm really debating making this my last week but I also feel like I should just work as long as possible. So torn.

OMG YES!! Any event we go to at all I am so miserable after we eat. And it takes sooooo for my stomach to go back to "normal".... If there is a normal anymore...

momof2girls+? · December 2016

I hate stairs! My laundry is in the basement and hauling baskets up and down really sucks. Going down sometimes I feel like I'm gonna lose my balance and fall. Going up I'm huffing and puffing and then the BH start up.
Also so done with work, I have until the 22nd but I'm starting to count down the days. It's definitely getting harder.

sldp123 · December 2016

@momof2girls+? my laundry is in the basement too, and two flights of stairs with baskets is just too much. I've been making DH do all of the carrying.

Gingerlee54 · December 2016

Sooooo done with bedrest. Never have I wanted to do the dishes more in my life, just to do something!! And oh the heartburn! Had a growth ultrasound at my last appointment and discovered that this kid has a ton of hair, so I guess that explains the heartburn, lol. Just gotta last until 37 weeks.... 4 more weeks....

kaytastic25 · December 2016

DH is really making me mad! he's being such a jerk for months now. He's always complaining HE doesn't feel good...oh I'm sorry you big baby, who is pregnant again? grr I could go on and on. our relationship is really strained right now because he just isn't a nice person anymore. I seriously can't take it much longer.

andrawrmeda2 · December 2016

My MBF is the youngest SIL again. Thanksgiving was a nightmare. She literally freaked out anytime I tried to discipline my son or her daughter who she wasn't even paying attention to. The 2nd oldest SIL has alot of pet birds and they're in open cages. Usually DS leaves them be or we block the bird room off completely for him, but because the living room and kitchen are seperated by the bird room, we had to leave it open. So I kept an eye on him and would pat his hand (he's only 17 months so still curious but old enough to learn it's not okay) when he would try to get in a cage. She just freaked. So fast forward to this week. We're out at the ILs so my fiance can fix our truck. the youngest kids were coming out to make cookies with grandma. I bought my son this little fold out couch for $20 bucks brand new. ( usually they're like 45 50 online) her daughter (3.5) decides to claim it as her own, and won't let the other niece (3 in January) or my son on it at all. When I told her she had to share, SIL told me there wasn't enough room. I told her promptly that she didn't like it when the kids took her daughters toys and didn't share how was that fair. she tells me I shouldn't have brought it out when all the kids would be there. I had no idea they would be! 4 more times I tell her daughter to share before I had to finally take it away from everyone. Her daughter sat there and wailed, like i had spanked her. And she of course just picked her up like nothing happened. my nephew started to not feel good so I let him use it on the floor to watch tv while we made cookies later. Also side note, if the nieces or nephews break something of her daughters, she demands we pay her back for it. Yet, here's her daughter picking at the fabric on the couch and pulling at it. I told her to stop twice cause I didn't want a hole in it since I had just got it the day before and my son barely used it yet. She was like what is she gonna do rip it? I'm talking she was pulling it as far as she could and digging at it. so I said if she does you can pay me 20 back for it. she got all mad and said no way was that happening. I wasn't even serious til she got the attitude. like she made the oldest SIL pay her for a ball pit she bought for a bday party because her kids( both nephews and youngest niece) played "to hard and popped it" ugh. I just don't like dealing with her, and she's always there when we're there too. like come on. her daughter is super mean to my son too cause he doesn't understand he can't hang on her or she doesn't like to be touched. her daughter shoves him all the time and swings at him. and she acts like it's the 17 month Olds fault! ugh. sorry rant over.

kaytastic25 · December 2016

@andromedacorrine wow that sounds like a mess! I'm so sorry! I have pretty rocky relationship with my SIL but not that bad. We don't get along because she prefers DH ex GF to me and is super rude to me. Her only son is 10 so we don't fight over kids. do you ask your husband/boyfriend to mediate for you and talk to her?

He can barely stand her himself. she always tries to be the "best" of the 4. We were gonna do a group gift for their dad and get him new speakers ( hes a 60 70s old time rocker and likes loud music so his are blown) She legitimately threw a fit cause the way it figured out was 70 all around. She told us she was "getting dad hr own gift cause she wanted something special". Like what!? Idk anymore.
The oldest SIL is like that to me. She's 11 years older than me, and his ex was older than him by like 3 years so closer to her age. she's come around in the last 3 years but it was tough at first cause she wouldn't talk to me. even now I tend to hide out in the living room at the holidays with their dad to avoid them.
The youngest makes me mad cause she acts like her daughter is the best big cousin to the other niece and my son. But she pushes them and takes things theyre playing with then screams when she gets told its not nice. And SIL just acts like its all fine and dandy. Since she hasn't had another baby, she's telling her daughter my baby is her little baby. I'm like no.....this is DSs little baby if anything. so now my niece is walking around telling all of us she has a baby coming. I can't imagine that little girl being an older sister with how mean she is. I love her, but she's definitely spoiled

15caitlin · December 2016

I am sick of people asking me how I feel. I am exhausted because I get up to pee 500 times a night, I toss and turn, everything aches and I have absolutely no motivation. Don't ask if you don't want to know the truth because I am done sugar coating it. I need to find some motivation soon because there is a lot to do before baby gets here!

therealfrizzle · December 2016

@andromedacorrine it sounds like your niece is Angelica Pickles from Rugrats (I hope that reference makes sense) Kudos to you for seeming to hold it together; I would have such a hard time.

Oh, this. Especially when they don't really know what they're expecting as the answer.

My own: Someone got shot last night in my neighborhood about a block over (the joys of city living!) and there was seriously a police helicopter hovering over our house all. night. long. If you didn't find the guy within an hour at 11PM, why on earth do you think he's going to still be running around the same 5-block radius at 6AM the next morning?

mjschenk · December 2016

Wow siatic nerve this morning had a huge burst of pain while going up the stairs I almost fell over. Also went to a family/friend girls night and the one girl my age kept like babying me like I chase an 18month old around all day I think I can help you find something you are looking for. It's not like it weighs 50 lbs. also this isn't a complaint but I just have to say yay my ds Christmas gift finally came after almost a week delay!!!!

MamaandNurse · December 2016

I'm so over everything right now. If I could just hibernate until the baby comes, that would be great. My five year old is acting extra bratty lately and it's really starting to get old.
I'm tired of everyone telling me that I look like I'm about to pop. I have a little less than six weeks to go, please shut up.

aishmc · December 2016

I love my husband SO much. Like my hormones have made me super obsessed with him lately.

That being said, I have been the only mobile person in our house the last two weeks and doing ALL the housework/cooking/shopping and prepping for baby is REALLY hard.

I hate the judgy comments from my mom and MIL when they come over, but I'm going slow because I'm pregnant af and working 40+ hours.

hjmorgan-2 · December 2016

This is a weird BF...and TMI.... so... it sucks when you have a sex dream and wake up all hot and bothered, but your whole body is just far too sore to get into anything with DH.....

So I just lay there like..
"Well shit...."

Yes!

christac1010 · December 2016

@HJMorgan YES! What is up with the sex dreams?! I've been on pelvic rest since 30 weeks so I tried to convince DH to try over the weekend. He refuses to try now that the baby's movements are so big and his head is down low with my cervix dilating. These damn hormones need to settle down!

LoneStar21416 · December 2016

I'm off pelvic rest too now @christac1010 and wondering the same thing. I was considering waiting until we hit 37 weeks and then maybe going for it. I don't know if I'm dilated though. I won't know until my 38 week appointment. My doctor said it's fine, so I guess we'll see how we feel next week (if we make until then!).

SDuodu · December 2016

Sleeping is becoming more and more uncomfortable I'm sure I toss and turn 6 times a night and OMG I miss sleeping on my back

Knottie1432834683 · December 2016

Can I just say YES to everything in this thread. I mean EVERYTHING -- lack of motivation at work, check. laundry up and down the stairs, check. people asking how I'm feeling, check. the sex dreams and then waking up and realizing you're a whale, check. It's like you ladies are reading my mind.

Oh and I'll add the freaking heartburn. I'm not only waking up 2-3 times a night to pee, I'm also waking up in the middle of the night with heartburn and taking tums -- and this is after I do everything to prevent it (little meals, don't eat before bed, etc).

wpowell · December 2016

ok I know I'm a few days late to the party but I just need to bitch about the fact that the military has signed my husband up for a mandatory medic training class Jan. 3-9. I'm due Jan. 11th. This is my second and I was a week early on with my first.. I'm starting to freak-out that he won't be here for the birth. this is my husband's first, my DD is from a previous marriage. Now I don't know what to do. Should I ask the Doctor to induce me on the 1st and see if he will or do i try to induce labor on my own up to that point or do i just say F*** it and let whatever happens happen.. ugg. Stupid Military

therealfrizzle · December 2016

@wpowell that is a really awful situation to be in. I would ask about induction. Would the dr be able/willing to induce on the 1st since it's New year's and a Sunday? Do you have anyone else around you that can be your support person just in case baby does come while DH is away? I would be extremely careful about trying to induce labor yourself; I read a birth story with very similar circumstances (H was being deployed the week of the due date) and she nearly caused herself to have a severe infection and put her baby in harm's way by trying to break her water herself so her H could be there.

wpowell · December 2016

@PMForbie I would never try anything drastic to induce labor.. In fact, I'm kind of a baby and won't even eat or drink anything that could induce labor (i.e. Castor Oil). It sounds to icky to me. But I think I will try sex, a lot of walking, and ball bouncing, maybe ever pressure points.. i don't know if any of that actually works but hey its worth a try.
I'm going to ask my doctor next week about induction and see what he says. I'm thinking he wont induce me til at least 39 weeks which the 1st would be 38 w 4d's. seems close enough to me but i don't want to get my hopes up.. I'm hoping my Dr will be understanding enough but I we'll see... ugg the waiting game.
