Bitchfest 4/17

DPandMB · April 2017

Good Morning Ladies,

I actually had a really great weekend, so I don't currently have a bitchfest, but the day is young. So lets hear yours. What has you bitching.

cmar1006 · April 2017

My BF is I had such a bad night. I went to bed early because I was so exhausted so I was hoping a good nights sleep would wake me up refreshed. Well, after going to bed with a nagging headache, I still woke up with one on top of having a terrible nightmare. And every time I woke up and fell back asleep it would go back to the same dream. It was one of those that completely shook me. The kind where someone close to you dies. It was devastating. I am still shook. I immediately texted the person as soon as I woke up.

I hope I won't have anymore dreams like that because it was the worst.

My brother told me yesterday that he had a friend who is 9 months pregnant and looks just as big as I did. Pretty sure he could have died from the glare I gave him. I didn't give him a super hard time though because he's been the sweetest and has helped DH and I around the house on his weekends away from college.

mercury94 · April 2017

DH's step-dad announced that we are having a son on Facebook. We weren't ready to reveal the sex to the whole world yet. There were a few people we wanted to tell individually first.

Look what we have to look forward to when we are 9 months pregnant.

wyomama0427 · April 2017

Well we had a perfectly good day yesterday! Until DH got home, when his mom texted him that his aunt was being taken in for an emergency hysterectomy. Apparently they just found a mass that is TWICE the size of her bladder. It had wrapped itself around one of her ovaries. Haven't heard anything about how the surgery went, don't know when we'll know if it's cancerous. My BF.... I'm just upset that they missed it. Who knows how long it has been there. She's been having scans of her brain and spine and things like that because she has MS and is going through threatment. I get that they wouldn't have caught it but it's just so upsetting. It better not be cancer, and I swear if it is and it has spread I'm going to lose it. She's got a three year old, a seven year old and two teenagers who need their mama. She's such an amazing wonderful person. Not cool universe. Not cool.

One time when I was about five or so months along with DS, DH was creepin' through his newsfeed on Facebook when he came across a girl he went to high school with. She had apparently gained some weight since he knew her and he goes "WHOA!!!!! She got huge! I mean, she used to be smaller than you were three months ago!!"

I wanted to strangle him right then and there. He's lucky I didn't.

mrsmarygs · April 2017

@wyomama0427 I'm so sorry about your H's aunt! That's really terrible for something to happen to so young of a person. Praying for her and her family, and that it's not cancer.

iheartichi · April 2017

@wyomama0427 saying prayers and sending good thoughts your way!!

Oh no! I'm not gonna lie, I'd be steaming!! Did he tag you in it? Maybe you can delete it if he did or change the privacy? I'm not sure. I have all my posts come to me through email to be approved first before they go on my timeline, but that would only work if he tagged you. I'd ask him to take it down. I'm sure he's just so excited, and he probably doesn't know FB etiquette.
My BIL posted a picture of DS right after he was born that DH had texted him. Ugh I was sooooo mad. I hadn't even got a chance to announce him yet and people were all over my FB already.

iheartichi · April 2017

My BF: men who snore. Particularly ones I share a bed with. Why, with an elevated pillow and breathe-right strips, must he still snore all night long?! Any tips?

mercury94 · April 2017

@iheartichi He did not tag us and won't take it down because he doesn't see the problem. It's not a huge issue yet except that this is how DH's grandma and step-sisters learned we are having a boy. We don't have a huge number of mutual friends. But, my SIL did the same thing when we got engaged and someone tagged DH in a comment. It's only a matter of time. DH's family has no concept of FB etiquette.

DPandMB · April 2017

@cmar1006 I hate dreams like that and for me those dreams are so much worse during pregnancy. Hopefully you get a good nights sleep tonight.

@mrsmarygspeople never think before they speak to pregnant women. Also I have had a very strong feeling this is going to be a very long and hot summer. I cant make it through an 80 degree day, no clue what I am going to do in August.

@bridge-and-wall sorry that sucks. I hate social media sometimes.

@wyomama0427 I am so sorry about DH's aunt. How sad and scary. Prayers its not cancerous.

dogdisnylovr · April 2017

@wyomama0427 So sorry to hear about DH's aunt! Good thoughts and prayers that it is not cancerous!

My BF is my anxiety. Thursday my MW called and said my AFP test came back as increased risk for down syndrome and asked that I come in for additional testing. I immediately start freaking out and have been randomly doing so since Thursday. Now I have to wait 7-10 business days for the results. My MF says try not to worry too much about it as it is just a screening, but I'm not sure if she knows who she is talking to. I worry if I don't have anything to worry about.

Jamiern01 · April 2017

@mrsmarygs I just commented yesterday that it already feels hotter than usual. Not looking forward to an above average summer.

@wyomama0427 sending positive thoughts and prayers that the mass is not cancer.

My BF today is pubic bone pain. It started Saturday and it hurts to do anything. So worried I'm going to have to deal with this until delivery. Seems too early for this pain.

mercury94 · April 2017

@wyomama0427 I'm sorry to hear about your husband's aunt. Praying everything is okay.

@dogdisnylovr The wait for test results sucks. Did you have an NIPT done? When I got the bad results from my NT scan, I did the MaterniT21. It only took a week to get the results. I was actually expecting it to take longer as I was told 5-10 business days. Just remember that there is a good chance everything will come back negative and that your baby is perfectly healthy. I know how bad the anxiety gets. I've wanted this baby for so long. I feel like that just makes me constantly afraid that something will go wrong.

beccam1230 · April 2017

@wyomama0427 that's terrible. It's crazy that a tumor like that was missed.. prayers that it's benign!

@mrsmarygs I actually cringe thinking about that heat! I feel like I need to move to Alaska this summer...

kelseyrayay · April 2017

Nothing to really complain about except for I'm going through all of DS old baby clothes so I can pick out the gender neutral stuff for DD. 7 plastic bins full of baby clothes. But DD is so worth it. I just love her so much!!

@wyomama0427 praying for y'all!

Ae_Lovely321 · April 2017

I love my mom dearly, but she went to my old job (I haven't worked there is 6 years+) and started showing my bump pic I sent her to people I don't know/remember. I sent her those pics privately since we live so far apart to make her feel like she's closer. She texted me saying how she showed so&so the pic who then in turn wanted to show another person and she let them. I mentioned stranger danger to her and she responded with she was a nice girl. From now on I'm putting one of those weird stickers on my face before I send her a pic.

msashley2010-2 · April 2017

@cmar1006 I'm sorry!! Bad dreams are the absolute worst and can absolutely set the stage for a rather gloomy day if it was bad enough.

Hope your day gets better!!

@mrsmarygs I would be extremelt upset by that comment. But I think a lot of people, men especially, don't realize or understand that all women's bodies react differently to pregnancy. Definitely a foot in mouth type of situation!

@wyomama0427 I hope they're able to get everything taken care of! It seems like your DH has had so much crap to deal with recently.

msashley2010-2 · April 2017

My BF may or may not be warranted. I could be completely overreacting.

SO randomly texts me this morning "neither do I, lovey." Not a terrible thing. The only issue is I didn't text him anything. I texted him back asking "neither do you what? And since when do you call me 'lovey?'" and he has yet to respond to me.

I am choosing to reserve my paranoia for his explanation. It is just a strange thing. I am hoping it was meant for me and not for someone else.

ColoradoHiker · April 2017

@Jamiern01 How far along are you? I had really bad pubic bone pain around 17w or so, and it lasted about a week. I took Tylenol (which is on an approved list of pain meds from my midwife), and it helped a lot. I hope it goes away soon for you!

LosAngelesMama · April 2017

@Msashley2010 I hope it's just some sort of miscommunication! SO explain yourself!

mrs_tacos · April 2017

@Msashley2010 Does he have a sister he's close to, or use weird pet names with his mom? I call my mom Peaches sometimes, and DH would think it was weird if I accidentally texted him that. FX it's nothing.

@Ae_Lovely321 That would really annoy me too. Boundaries are real and need to be respected! I don't understand why so many of our moms here (the moms of the women here, not the pregnant moms on the board) struggle to grasp boundaries.

@Jamiern01 I've been having pubic bone pain for the last several weeks (starting around 16 weeks), and many days it feels like the baby just spent all night using it as a punching bag. My doctor says some women are just more prone to that particular pain. I've started seeing a chiropractor to help keep my hips in alignment, and I'm getting my second prenatal massage next week. They both have helped, and the massage therapist also gave me some stretches that have helped too.

ETA: because I changes something I said, because I'm bad at reading comprehension.

beccam1230 · April 2017

@Msashley2010 I can definitely see why this is bothering you. I'm sorry it's causing you worry. You're doing awesome with reserving your paranoia! I also hope this is just a miscommunication!

He definitely needs to explain this.
hopefully it's an easy mistake or a weird auto correct.

I haven't gotten off the couch today. Between this headache and he dream I am definitely in a funk.

mrs_tacos · April 2017

My BF is kind of small, but i'm annoyed anyway. We live on the top floor of a small-ish high-rise apartment building. Our building is old and historic, and I understand that it has different maintenance needs than a newer building, and that they often need to access our apartment or balcony to get to the roof or other various things. We're usually pretty chill about it. But I got an email at 10 am telling me they need to access our balcony every day this week anytime between 9am and 5 pm for window cleaning and exterior maintenance. Um, that is NOT the required 24 hours notice to enter our dwelling, and it wasn't a request to enter early, which I am usually happy to grant. If it's really scheduled and routine as they stated, then why could they have not given us plenty of notice? Strange men accessing my balcony that is directly in front of my windows at any time for the next five days is uncomfortable, and it annoys me that our building management frequently seems to forget that these are people's homes they're interfering with, not just their place of business.

Sugargirl1019 · April 2017

@cmar1006 I'm sorry about your nightmares last night

I had nightmares too.. they're awful!

mercury94 · April 2017

@Msashley2010 Hopefully, it was just a miscommunication.

@mrs_tacos That would seriously annoy me too.

HollyGolightly09 · April 2017

@Msashley2010 FX for an unfortunate auto correct/wrong person text!

msashley2010-2 · April 2017

Update: I feel like an idiot.

SO sent me a text earlier in the day saying that he didn't feel like working today. For some reason he read it, thinking that it was me texting him and responded to it. So essentially, he was responding to himself. I have no idea why I did not put two and two together.

Soooo happy I didn't jump on his case for no reason.

msashley2010-2 · April 2017

@mrstacos I would be pretty annoyed too!! And 9-5 is a very long window to be semi expecting someone you don't know to enter your dwelling.

lol, yes... definitely glad you didn't start cussing him.

Glad it was just a goof!

mercury94 · April 2017

@Msashley2010 I have totally respond to my own text before. It really confuses people.

I just got a laugh at your H's expense. Replying to himself

kelseyrayay · April 2017

@Msashley2010 phew! I'm glad it was nothing.

dogdisnylovr · April 2017

@bridge-and-wall The first test I had was an AFP. This next one is a Panorama (I think). I know that the chances of everything being ok is greater than not being ok, but my mind immediately jumps to worst case scenario. I live by the motto "Prepare for the worst, hope for the best."

This is me:

beccam1230 · April 2017

@Msashley2010 haha I've actually done that more than once! I'll read a text I sent to someone and think they sent it to me.. and I answer...

DaphneMoon1 · April 2017

We found out last week the twins are a boy and a girl! Yay! We went to the grocery store to buy 1 pink and 1 blue balloon and did a little surprise reveal for our sons. As I was asking the lady to blow up the balloons, my DH blurts out "because we found out today our twins are a boy and a girl!!"

The lady responds, "oh congrats. I had a twin brother. He died during child birth."

Seriously? Fuck you. You're a fucking idiot.

I didnt respond, but I'm still pissed thinking about it.
