WTF Wednesday

This board seems slow lately.  Or maybe it's because I don't feel like working and spend too much time on here :-p

My WTF is to my body.  Why can't you eat healthy food?  You just want sugar and carbs.  And gag when trying to eat a salad.  This isn't a good start to not gaining a bunch of weight!

Re: WTF Wednesday

  • Ugh I can NOT do raw greens right now. I am ok with sautéed spinach, cabbage etc though!  It’s so weird cuz I usually love cabbage bowls!

    @sparklingdiamond @riversdoctor I'm 14+6 and finally able to eat more salads and veggies now. Buuuuuuuuuut I always feel like crap after I eat them. Not sure what to make of that. 
  • Loading the player...
  • Yes, every time I have tried to eat raw greens, I gag and can't even get them down.  I was trying to be somewhat healthier last night since I ate way too much crap during the day.  So I cooked some salmon and gagged on that too.  But at least got most of it down.
  • Yes! I'm 14 weeks and finally eating veggies. I spent 8-ish weeks living off junk!

    I know I really have nothing major to complain about, so this is kind of a first world problem - but some day's it's just so difficult and tiring to wake up and go to work everyday. I wake up, get myself and DS ready (with the help of DH!) and it takes an hour and 5 minutes to drop DS off at daycare and commute to work. Then I work 8.5 hours, do the hour and 5 minute pick up and commute home, and I'm just SO TIRED. I think I need a self care day.
  • @peppersmith22 that day sounds exhausting! It sounds like a grind
  • @viggie17 The commute is killer! DH used to take DS to daycare before his car broke and he broke his hand. You wouldn't think it's a big difference but it feels big to me! I'm grateful that I have a job and no real terrible problems but some days it just sucks
  • man @ngolimento French Fries sound sooooooo good right now

    I have been able to eat salad but I also have to get French Fries with them so I'm pretty much canceling out the salad.  

    My WTF is to my Co-worker.  I get you don't plan to be in this assigned job long but at least put an effort and LISTEN to what is being told you.  I think I have repeated myself 12 times on how to do a report someone asked her for.  If I was a manager I wouldn't give her the new job because if you can't try at even the most simplest tasks why in the hell would they give you a job with  more responsibility.

  • Ditto WTF body. Why does my back already hurt so dang bad. Why can't I hold anything that isn't junk down? Get it together, bro.
  • @peppersmith22 And I thought it was hard to drive DS to daycare and deal with my 20 min commute! I feel like getting DS and myself ready and out the door on time in the morning is the most stressful part of my day.
  • You all complete me...i literally just posted about choking down salads in another thread! 

    @ngolimento my husbands schedule was like that for our first 2 kids. It is TOUGH. He would leave at 6 and get home after bedtime. It's absolutely exhausting.

  • Guys, omg. Backstory: I'm not nuts about my OB practice so I met with someone else today thinking I would switch to him. But his finger nails were long. Like longer than a persons should be given their line of work. Therefore, I will be going with someone else.

    +1 WTF  BODY!! I got a stomach bug and have been up since 3am sick as a dog. Couldn't keep liquids down and just as I was about to die/ go to the hospital the doctors office called me. They told me to take zofran and hope for the best. Oh and on top of that my bff from out of state is supposed to be here in like 30 for the weekend. Thank God she's ok with helping me around while I'm sick!

    My WTF is my body. I hit second tri this weekend and have full blown morning sickness with vomiting. It just started two days before I hit 13 weeks and has every day since. I thought I was in the clear with this pregnancy.  :(  The worst part is it happens after Breakfast every morning. I’m diabetic so I have to take a bolus of insulin before breakfast. When I throw up all of my food, I run the risk of my sugar tanking so as soon as I’m done throwing up I have to go force myself to eat again.

    Me (33). DH (37). DD (2.2012). MCs x4. After 4 years & 7 months, due 4.2018!


  • My WTF is DH. He decided to take my car this morning so he could check it over before DS and I drive to WI tomorrow. Which would've been great had he told me so that I could get my purse out. 

    DS got a nose bleed, so we were late getting out of the house, and I had to drive all the way into the city to get my purse, and ended up late for my appt with my new OB and had to bring DS with nothing to occupy him because I didn't have time to drop him off. 
  • @lund Okay, I'm sure that's annoying, but it also just made me LOL. That doormat is so pathetisad.
    History (TW/loss/child):

    7/2017 -- miscarriage at 6w
    5/2018 -- DS born 3 days after due date, 8lb 4oz
    9/2020 -- missed miscarriage at 9w / DNC
    3/2021 -- miscarriage at 8w
    7/2021 -- missed miscarriage at 8w / DNC
    9/2021 -- IVF cycle #1 (FET 1/25/22)


  • @sparklingdiamond - healthy food hasn’t been making me gag, but oh yeah - bring on the sugar and starches!
    @Dumbgurl04 - I could have lived on fries a few weeks ago! Well, depending on time of day I sometimes had to settle for hash rounds  :D
    @btm013 - OMG. Gross. Don’t blame you a bit for passing on that OB.
    @bchalm - hope the bug passes quickly and you can enjoy the visit with your friend.

    Why is it I tried to perfect the messy but cute bun today like a total failure (thin hair probs) and yet tonight to wash my face it magically can come together. Drives me crazy. I can’t wait for my thick pregnancy hair to come back! 

    @Mattel I hope it gets better sooon! I can’t imagine the struggle of managing the sugar levels during this crazy process of growing a human.

    With all my pregnancies, carpel tunnel has been a problem. I woke up last night actually yelling in pain. Tylenol isn't touching it. I went to Urgent Care this morning after dropping off my kids because I just honestly don't know what to do - I can't pick up anything, buckling their carseats was complete torture, and it just hurts like a mofo all the freaking time.

    Urgent Care gave told me to go get an injection into the tendons at an orthopedic surgeon's. They would normally do it themselves, but they wouldn't because I'm pregnant and want a specialist to do it. Fine. Except the number they gave me was to some guy's voicemail who doesn't return calls apparently. So I called back asking for a different number. This one tells you to push "1" for an operator, but then gives an error tone and hangs up. So I keep calling voicemail guy and trying to find either of these places online so I can find a different number. Can't find them, so I call Urgent Care back, and they finally give me a number that works... to an ortho won't see me because my insurance requires a faxed referral. I say I'll call back. Call Urgent Care. Ask them to fax a referral. They refuse, because they don't want to "track my care". Say I have to ask my PCP for a referral. My specific PCP is out for the entire next week, and the other PCP in the office won't give me a referral over the phone. Tells me to make an appt.... next available? NEXT THURSDAY.

    Call the ortho back and explain and she says too bad. So basically I'm exactly where I was before I even bothered going to Urgent Care and I'm hurting like crazy, and am not exceptionally pissed off with the Urgent Care, the ortho, the PCP, and my insurance. All I want is some pain relief! Just give me the damn shot!!!

    ETA: apparently I just needed to vent. Sorry about that.
  • @Sissy42 OMG That sounds horrible!  I really hope you get some relief soon!
  • @Sissy42 I wonder if going to an actual ER at one of the hospitals may help? @fishsticks-n-custard Do you have any advice on this? 


  • @Sissy42 - I hope something shakes out so you can get a referral sooner than a week from now.  Does massage do anything for your pain?

  • @JJMNO1616 - I've considered it. It's just so darn expensive. Thankfully my OB came through for me and gave me a referral!!!!! Thank goodness. I still have to wait until next week to meet with the ortho surgeon, but at least the ball is rolling. @g_amoss it hasn't in the past, but I've got an massage appointment for Saturday afternoon and going to see if they can do anything for me in the meantime! Thanks, guys. I'm sorry for the long vent yesterday. I was just so ticked off.
