@krashke that thread would be entertaining for sure. Yesterday at work, I was prepping diets and kept having to go check who is running the next day. One of my coworkers was in the kitchen and just dying laughing. I was like "okay Amara is running tomorrow" walk back to the counter "wait who is running tomorrow, oh Amara" do something else for two minutes "hold on which cat is running tomorrow.. oh it's Amara"

And @Austenista That's amazing! I find myself flushing the toilet at least 2-3 times now. Sorry water footprint.

Anyone else dying to know what Kylie named her baby? Mostly to make sure that it's not something on my list! But I doubt Kylie would consider anything as basic as what I like.

Also from the UO's I think it is more unpopular that I like the Kardashian's.

lisa2589 · February 2018

@krashke I am really happy that she was legit pregnant this whole time and it wasn’t just some huge publicity stunt.

ffw0617 · February 2018

I got some kinesiology tape before coming to work this morning. I ordered a support band yesterday, but I woke up to more pain and I could not wait any longer. I could barely sleep bc my hips hurt so bad. Why can't you just be pregnant why does everything have to feel horrible.

lisa2589 · February 2018

@ffw0617 I just ordered some this morning and going to have a PT friend do a demo for DH to learn. It’s helped me a lot in the past so I have really high hopes for it to buy me another couple of months without the misery...

stephcat421 · February 2018

@ffw0617 add me to the hip pain while sleeping! It doesn't even matter which one I'm sleeping on, it's like the one not getting slept on is killing me! Do you think that's from them preparing or what?

sunshineandwhiskey · February 2018

@krashke did you see she named her Stormi?

ffw0617 · February 2018

@stephcat421 I'd guess so. I'm def going to complain to my doctor about the pain, I know they can recommend PTs for PGP. We read this blog (below) and watched a couple youtube videos before putting it on. It def provided immediate relief. I also brought a inner tube to work (very professional I know), but just being able to lay forward and get some of the pressure off my hips even if only for 5 minutes helps a ton. IDK where this came from I was fine this weekend and woke up yesterday to the worst pain. https://diaryofafitmommy.com/kinesio-taping-during-pregnancy-techniques-for-the-pregnant-belly/

LaceyBee522 · February 2018

@stephcat421 That describes exactly what I'm dealing with re: hip pain. @ffw0617 thanks for sharing that link. I've never used that tape before. I'm going to ask ask my OB about a PT referral too.

krash_ · February 2018

@sunshineandwhiskey welp there goes my girl name! j/k I think I'm safe.

sabby2 · February 2018

I am currently waiting my turn for my hair appointment (which was supposed to start 20 min ago) and I'm going to cut several inches of my hair off!!

lisa2589 · February 2018

Sorry for the minor SN change guys. I was having a wierd feeling. To clarify- it looks wierd, but it’s a lowercase L at the beginning, not a #1.

krash_ · February 2018

@l2589 if there is a creeper on our board you gotta let us know!

lisa2589 · February 2018

@krashke nope nothing for you ladies to worry about. Just something that was said by someone IRL that made me think.

Lolalipsy · February 2018

Has anyone ever had an umbilical hernia? I seem to have a slight protrusion above my belly button that I can't remember having with my first. I noticed it last night and it was gone in the morning until I coughed and now it's back again. I see the doctor for a scan today so I'll ask about it but wondered if others had experienced anything like this?

icecubeinthedesert · February 2018

@Lolalipsy, my dad just had surgery about two weeks ago for an umbilical hernia. Unfortunately he's not sure if it worked, so he may have to go back. They didn't use mesh the first time. I've heard it's more common in women who have been pregnant. Sounds like what might be going on with you. But for what it's worth, it was an outpatient surgery, and he was really only uncomfortable/had pain for two days after. Not sure what the recommendation is after fixing it as far as future pregnancies.

MissKittyDanger · February 2018

Is anyone watching This is Us here? I have the Sunday ep on my pvr and I can't bring myself to watch it yet. I hear there are moments of ugly crying, so I'm prepping myself for that. I had my mum watch and tell me if it would be a trigger effect {similar things happened in our life with my dad, just not at the same time as Jack} and she didn't really answer lol so I'm assuming yes.

megara5 · February 2018

Home with my sick 3 year old today. Neither of us slept much bc she was coughing all night. I'm hoping she'll want an afternoon nap so I can have one.

On the plus side, it gives me time to catch up here!

catlady1215 · February 2018

@misskittydanger we had something semi similar happen in our family (regarding a fire). it wasn't exactly the same. but it triggered me and an ugly cry. I got it out and was ok the rest of the episode though. Even with last nights. just have some tissues on hand.

krash_ · February 2018

@MissKittyDanger I watched Sunday's episode and last night. I would say it was emotional but not ugly crying, but I don't have any personal experience to associate it with. I think because we kind of knew what was coming and I figured some of it out on my own that it wasn't as shocking for me. That might be different for everyone though. Especially if it is something that would trigger a similar traumatic experience for you.

catlady1215 · February 2018

DS just deleted the baby heartbeat from the little recorder they gave us at our elective ultrasound. he said 'I just turned it off'. no you turned it to record.... even with the switch covered in tape.

I do have a heartbeat saved on my phone I can try to re-record on there. or take it to my next appt. but it was THAT heartbeat that's gone. and mixed with pregnancy hormones, I cried.

MissKittyDanger · February 2018

@catlady1215 It's amazing what that show can trigger emotionally - even things you don't think will affect you.

@krashke I've heard mixed things about it, so it's so hard to tell - throw in being pregnant, that's why I half expect to ugly cry.

ramennoodlegif · February 2018

@megara5 I hope YD feels better soon and that you both get that nap!

@catlady1215 Oh no

Hopefully you can get another one, but I know the feeling. Sorry!

krash_ · February 2018

I may or may not have just casually rubbed my boobs down with lotion at my desk. They were so dry and itchy from stretching and getting bigger.

Lolalipsy · February 2018

@icecubeinthedesert Thanks. I tried to find out today at my scan appointment whether they think it's a hernia or just the top of my uterus. They've told me to make an appointment with the GP. I'm glad the pain didn't last too long for your Dad.

BurlapandLace · February 2018

@catlady1215 ~ I’m sorry. Maybe the place that did it has them stored on file for a while so you can have it re-recorded?

catlady1215 · February 2018

@burlapandlace I don't think cause she kind of just held the recorder up to the speaker thing. But I just remembered, I think she said she put some videos on the CD she gave us. so hopefully I can hear some heartbeat on that also. Even just from that day might make me happy.

... not sure why this is bothering me so much when we hear it so often soon.

MissKittyDanger · February 2018

This might be a question to STMs - maybe someone else is experiencing this too? - but I feel a lot of .... idk if it's pressure or weight, but kinda both in my abdomen. Kind of under the belly {I'm carrying high for reference}

Is this normal?
Any way to relieve this?
I'm guessing no, but is there a point I should be concerned?

edit
yes I do feel it a bit in my lower back, but more like a "my back needs to be cracked" kind of feeling

doxiemoxie212 · February 2018

I would like to start this by saying my husband farts more than anyone I’ve ever met. He farts constantly. And I put up with it without complaint.

I just farted an admittedly very stinky fart, and he is panicking. He’s not sure he can sleep in this room tonight. I am dying laughing. But also if he thinks his farts are going to continue to be without complaint he is wrong!

BurlapandLace · February 2018

@doxiemoxie212 - haha! Not sure he can sleep in the room!

But for reals. Pregnancy farts are awful! Sometimes I’m not sure I can sleep in the same room with me! Especially on days where I’ve consumed too much dairy (like when I HAD to get a milkshake yesterday ~ Lactose intolerant pregnancy farts are SO bad!)

glitterfingers · February 2018

@doxiemoxie212 give him a taste of his own medicine! My DH does the same thing and it’s payback time.

BurlapandLace · February 2018

Just in case anyone here watches Chicago Med, major pregnancy trigger warning on this week’s episode.

elsie42 · February 2018

My farts could warrant an evacuation lately. They are HORRIBLE. God bless my husband

May14th2011 · February 2018

DH has the worst habit of closing the bathroom door after he goes to the bathroom so when you open it, the stench is still there, even hours later. It drives me up the wall!
So the other day I did the same thing to give him a taste, he went in there and came out gagging, acting like he was actively dying. "Oh man, I don't know what happened but I think something is wrong with the plumbing because it smells like something died in there."
"Yeah... that's what happens if you don't let it air out."
"Oh."

izza2 · February 2018

Would it be so bad if I skipped my class this morning but still went to work this afternoon?

I'm not feeling either of them today, but I already missed work yesterday because of snow.

rnielsen321 · February 2018

My DH likes to stink up the bathroom right outside our bedroom door, as I am trying to go to sleep. The ceiling fan pulls all the stench into the room and it wafts over me.... GAG!! We have a fan on a timer in the bathroom that vents outside... and each time he comes out I say: did you turn the fan on? and he is like; Really? And has to go back and turn it on. Common courtesy Hubby... C'mon!

dinodna3 · February 2018

@May14th2011 My husband does that too! It’s so stinky.

kmurdock925 · February 2018

So very off topic...but june birthstones...I have an extra band with my wedding rings with DD1's birthstone- so naturally I want/need one for DD2. I also have a june bday so this shouldn't even be a question...but alas it is. Everything I look up online says June is pearl, moonstone, or alexandrite. I want a sparkly gemstone, so pearl is out...moonstone is...I don't even know what- but not sparklie...and alexandrite is SUPER expensive and rare. I feel like I always got amethyst as birthstone stuff growing up...is that just because it is purple and kind of sort of close to the color or alexandrite?

https://www.americangemsociety.org/page/junebirthstones

doxiemoxie212 · February 2018

@kmurdock925 maybe? Amethyst is February’s birth stone...

lisa2589 · February 2018

@kmurdock925 I found a source that says “light amethyst” for June instead of alexandrite.

Early FFFC... I hope this baby is a 4 days early so she can have May's birthstone which is emerald instead of June’s because I’ve always thought alexandrite was such an ugly pink/purple color
