My cousin got into a pretty ugly car accident Sunday, he posted pics of his car yesterday and I started crying as soon as I saw them.

TW** My friend had her 20 week ultrasound and found out her little girl has a hole in her heart along with a horseshoe kidney and possibly DiGeorge syndrome. My heart just broke for them and now I'm laying in my bed crying. I can imagine the pain they are in. So many unknowns and hardship to face when she is born. Please send your thoughts and prayers for them.

@chyvie I am so sorry for your friend. That is heartbreaking. I will be praying for them.

Yesterday my 88 year old great aunt came home from rehab and got to meet my nephew for the first time and hold him. The picture was so wonderful to see. I will get to meet him in about a week when we go visit my family in Florida.

@chyvie I'm so sorry to hear that. Keeping them in my thoughts.

I've been pescetarian for 2 months (mainly bc meat upsets my stomach and also to reduce my carbon footprint). But lately I've been having so many food aversions I've been having a hard time getting my protein in since the only thing I can really stomach are cheerios and yogurt. DH brought home a lemon pepper rotisserie chicken the other day bc chicken actually sounded appetizing. After I took a bite my DH said something about eating like rabbits except I thought he said "eating rabbits" and I lost it. I ugly cried for like 5 minutes for breaking my no-meat commitment to myself and didn't want anymore.

DON’T. WATCH. IRREPLACEABLE. YOU.

Had a melt down cry with a sales rep because they made a mistake and was trying to blame it on me! Crying seemed to shut him up and give me what I need. I don't usually cry for no reason like that. Damn hormones

sammierose464 · March 2018

*TW* @chyvie a good friend just went through the same thing. She gave birth to an 11oz baby who was already passed at 21 weeks. It was right around when we found out we were pregnant, and it really shook MH and I. I'm not really nervous to tell her our good news, because I know it will be hard.

troystory17 · March 2018

its pretty much a hurricane outside and I'm at work.. that's reason enough to cry no?

Went to pick out a card for a bridal shower this weekend. All the sappy love/wedding cards made me tear up!

chyvie · March 2018

@sammierose464 that is so sad

chopchop25 · March 2018

A story on the news this morning about a parade held nearby this weekend. It’s a Superhero parade for kids who have survived abuse and people line up to cheer for them and their bravery. So many tears welling.

sliztee · March 2018

Because we just told the last direct family member that we’re pregnant. I cried and told Jeff being pregnant is hard...he said being married to a pregnant person is hard too

sammierose464 · March 2018

I cried today that I was feeling too crappy to clean my house

nmadjeski · March 2018

I cried on the way to work this morning because I had a three day weekend and I spent it all with DS and he cried when I left which he doesnt usually do. I hate that I have to work sometimes.

rc-cola · March 2018

This might not be hormones- as in I might have cried anyway- but husband took me to see Hamilton for my birthday this weekend and I silent cried through most of it. I think it was probably hormones because I cried during basically all of it— not only the sad parts!

kablaze · March 2018

Tearing up at American idol.... because they’re just so happy? I don’t know! Haha

TW: Loss/MC

My roommates girlfriend is having a chemical pregnancy I believe. She tested positive after her missed period and today about 4 or 5 days later she is going to the ER because she can't stop bleeding. She's not in pain. The thing about this is my roommate came to me for advice and that's why I know. And I can't go to his girlfriend and try to comfort her, she's very secretive and gets jealous easily so if she found out he came to me because he needed to talk she would freak out.. I am almost 8 weeks and I found out a few weeks ago.. I can't imagine what she might be going through. I know they both wanted a baby. It absolutely breaks my heart. And I want to be there for her through it but I know she wont reach out to me and if I went to her it would be a sh*tshow.. I guess it's just not my place. Wont stop me from crying in my bedroom though.. I've been so scared to lose my little one and still am sometimes.. I couldn't imagine. My heart hurts for her.

I saw my OB today and basically found out that if these babies are mono-mono twins (sharing one placenta and one amniotic sac) which is what it looks like, I’ll be admitted to hospital at 24 weeks and have to deliver by c-section at 32 weeks, which means missing basically all of summer with my other kids.
I was really wanting a chance to have a “normal” labour/deliver this time around. My oldest was born at 27 weeks, then I had fraternal twins at 33 weeks. We were hoping for ONE baby, to get close to full term, be able to move in labour (I was in bed on constant monitoring for my entire labours), and be able to see and hold my baby after birth. To not have to wait to get up to the NICU hours later.

I know there are so many women who would love to be pregnant, and would be ecstatic for twins, but I’m just not there right now.

Why do you have to deliver by C section at 32 weeks? @jennybean80

Wondering the same thing. I know mono/mono are the highest risk, but what’s the reason for delivering early if everything’s is going well?

jennybean80 · March 2018

@cdepperschmidt @purplegoldfish2 One of the biggest risks with mono-mono twins is cord entanglement. Because both babies share a sac, either twin can get tangled in either cord, and the cords themselves tend to get tied in knots around each other. As they run out of room the chances of cord compression where blood flow is compromised through one or both cords gets much greater.
So basically the risks of continuing the pregnancy and losing one or both past that point outweighs the benefits of keeping them inside. And they recommend c-section for cord reasons as well.
I’m going to be referred to the perinatal clinic at the high-risk centre here, and will have a more detailed ultrasound in a few weeks. I’m *really* hoping there is two sacs, and our risks go down.

sammierose464 · March 2018

@jennybean80 I hope everything goes okay and you are able to get a reduced risk.

jennybean80 · March 2018

@sammierose464 Thank you!

purplegoldfish2 · March 2018

@jennybean80 Wow, I knew those were risks with mono/mono, but didn’t realize they delivered without some indication of a problem before (mine were di/di, so no direct experience with it). Clearly the drs know what they’re talking about and I’m sure you’re in great hands no matter what the test shows. Hoping for mono/di for you though!

I cried today because my kids have been asking to build a snowman and it snowed yesterday and today and instead of reminding them, I “forgot” because I just didn’t feel like it. I was telling my husband that he HAS to take them out tomorrow morning and build one with them because we are running out of time and then started crying because I totally could have done it and they’ve been super patient and really good lately and I was just kind of the jerk that didn’t feel like going out. I wasn’t even feeling sick or super tired, just lazy. Really hoping the second tri brings back some motivation - I’ve been in my first tri on and off for going on 2 years and these poor kids deserve to have their mommy back.

sarahmichelle617 · March 2018

@stithof my husband feels the same way

sarahmichelle617 · March 2018

I cried over a Facebook post of twin babies because only one baby lived

klpv415 · March 2018

I was walking through Hobby Lobby looking at nursery stuff and crying. I had to put on my sunglasses in the store then GTFO of there.

I did that too, only it was quads and she lost the identical triplets at 18 weeks. It was a rough pregnancy and delivery for her. She made it to 33 weeks and her surviving quad came out holding one of the triplets to her chest. So thankful she was able to deliver and she and the surviving baby are doing well. I cry every time she posts an update (our non-pregnant friends do too, so I figure that’s not a pregnancy thing).

sammierose464 · March 2018

@purplegoldfish2 that is so sad!!

Well this just made me cry.
