Monday Bitch Fest. Bitching welcome.

sparkymcgeee · June 2018

I feel like crap today. Just total crap. I want to go home and sleep and not think about food that will make me feel sick. Not think about work and what I need to do. I just want to sleep for the next four weeks.

gorgeousariel · June 2018

The triage nurse hasn't called me back... I called the office when they opened at 8:30.

leighbrek · June 2018

@sparkymcgeee I'm with you!

Thinking about pooping has never ever been a thing before pregnancy, and now if I'm not thinking about the baby, I'm thinking about pooping and dreaming of the days when I took it all for granted.

CoastieGirl79 · June 2018

@sparkymcgeee and @leighbrek we're in the same boat. I am so nauseous. I've tried eveything: sea sick bands, ginger, water with lemon, Jolly Ranchers. I feel like I'm seasick 24 hours a day; it doesn't let up. I feel like I'm going to puke, but it never happens.

200 mg of coffee does not even come close to how much I need to get me through today.

I managed to eat breakfast without feeling sick this morning and pooped for the first time in 4 days and was so psyched and thought: today is my day! But now I feel nauseous and tired again and I’ve already had my coffee allotment for the day. And it’s not even 9:30 here. Happy Monday.

sfgiantsgamerbabe · June 2018

@sparkymcgeee That’s how I felt yesterday. I couldn’t keep much down most of the day and felt miserable. Feel better!

mainemama_ · June 2018

I've been living off bacon egg and cheese bagels from McDonalds.... I just went to a McDonalds in another town and they said they stop making bagel at 10AM and I started crying at the drive thru window.

DLpanda08 · June 2018

Someone on FB posted a video showing how to make spaghettios popsicles and I gag every time I see it. People keep commenting so it keeps jumping to the top of my feed.

blueowl08 · June 2018

@DLpanda08 Why would anyone ever want to do that in the first place?! That sounds gross regardless of whether I’m pregnant and abnormally queasy.

galactickates · June 2018

@DLpanda08 that made me gag just reading that. I'm not checking this thread again until your post is out of view. I can't. That's too disgusting

DLpanda08 · June 2018

@blueowl08 @galactickates it was posted by one of DH’s fraternity brothers. He loves posting what he refers to as “extreme drunk food”. If his kids weren’t so freaking cute I would have unfriended him over this.

sparkymcgeee · June 2018

I saw that twice yesterday. It's no bueno.

katiebird8878 · June 2018

Nauseau has just kicked in HARD! Vomited today at work into a sink in a closet before teaching 9th graders; said vomiting was through both mouth and nose.

kaf1788 · June 2018

Something must be in the air today! I haven’t had bad nausea at all. Then today, the most important day of the month at work where I have a bunch of tight deadlines due before noon I couldn’t stop throwing up all morning. I’ve never been more miserable.

pttomato · June 2018

Already got into an argument with my mom over sleep training. She thinks the reason DD isn’t a good sleeper is because I waited too long to CIO and I need to do it by 8 weeks this time which I am against. Of course she doesn’t agree that DD’s MSPI had a big impact on her ability to sleep and when I tried a lot of the things she suggested with DD and they didn’t work. She just says I didn’t do it right.

But my sister sleep trains really early and her kids are good sleepers so she says it obviously works.

molosmiles · June 2018

@pttomato whoa, 8 weeks is way too early for CIO. Also, some kids never sleep well no matter what you do.

eleven_ · June 2018

@pttomato CIO at 8 weeks seems really early to me. I didn't sleep train until 6 months and my kids are pretty good sleepers. I'm sorry she is comparing you to your sister. I would find a polite way to tell her to STFU

sparkymcgeee · June 2018

I'm a firm no CIO person. Like just hard line no. So 8 weeks is extreme to me.

rooonilwaazlib · June 2018

I was away at a conference for work all last week, came back today, and discovered that my colleagues are still the grumpy, selfish complainers they were before I left. HOW RUDE

peachy104 · June 2018

Airport smells plus pregnancy nose = NO!! My nose has been assaulted by waaaaaay too many smells today. Seriously testing my upchuck reflexes.

skilouise · June 2018

My office is a frigid ice box right now.

AliKay20 · June 2018

Dealing with insurance companies is a PITA. Esp on a Monday. That is all.

gorgeousariel · June 2018

@AshVA lucky you. The AC in our house is acting up and we have someone e coming out tomorrow. We have it set it at 77 and it's at 80.

skilouise · June 2018

@gorgeousariel I'll trade you! I'd much rather be a little too warm than too cold. My office is probably about 69-70 right now. I'm at my desk like:

ETA: 80 inside a house is a little toasty though. I hope you're able to get that fixed soon!

blueowl08 · June 2018

Someone microwaved fish in the kitchen today. I sincerely thought that only happened in bad sitcoms. It was just as terrible as you can imagine. Shout out to my coworker who sprayed febreze up and down the hallway.

kianarain · June 2018

This morning I got my first real wave of nausea. Watery mouth, food aversion, the works. So I’m going about my day trying to ignore it, eating a light snack & drinking some ginger tea while on a conference call... and my boss - sitting 3 inches from my food and cup of tea - STARTS CLIPPING HIS FINGERNAILS. Omg I almost lost it right then and there. Nails clippings flying everywhere. Mean mugged him meaningfully and moved my food and tea to the opposite side of the desk. Seriously, why me???

skilouise · June 2018

I hate dealing with insurance. Just tried to fill a prescription for metformin the first time on our new (supposedly top notch) health insurance plan. Apparently because I take the extended release tablets, they need prior authorization. My doctor needs to justify why I need the XR version. Meanwhile, I took this drug for 3 years using my old crappy insurance, and only had a $5 co-pay.

In the meantime, I'm paying $58 damn dollars for 5 pills while my new insurance gets its $#!+ together.

I hate insurance companies.

AliKay20 · June 2018

@AshVA you & me both. Ughhhh!!! Seriously. Every time I talk to them, I have trust issues. Different reps say different things and no one has it together. Sorry you have to deal w this mess!

skilouise · June 2018

@AliKay20 I despise how opaque insurance policies are. It's impossible to get anything but the most basic plan descriptions up front. Even after you sign a policy, they never send a comprehensive list of documents that explains every nuance of coverage. There's always some internal document that purports to limit the coverage for one thing or another. I'm a contracts lawyer; I want all the terms and conditions up front!

leighbrek · June 2018

I hate this app. Community good, info good... App itself is such a PITA.

skilouise · June 2018

@leighbrek Agreed! It has been particularly buggy today.

drabong88 · June 2018

@blueowl08 fish in the microwave should just not be allowed in the workplace. I've only had it happen once at work where someone warmed up fish and the whole lunch room smelled for the rest of the day.

This is more common than you think sadly and it’s because the drug manufacturers set their prices so high even on certain generics. The metformin extended release (brand names: glumetza and fortamet) can cost $$$$/month to the insurer. The generic extended release of glucophage is much less costly but doesn’t come in 1000mg strength. Compared to the non-extended release which is practically pennies a day...

Hopefully it’ll all get worked out for you! In a perfect world, doctors should be able to prescribe what they think is best regardless of the cost to the patient and insurer.

wkuandrea · June 2018

My DH decided he wants to do the keto diet. So he gets up early to cook a bunch of meat... which of course he burns and sets off the smoke alarm. Great way to wake up. Also now the whole house smells like burned meat. Great for nausea.

texasmommie · June 2018

@DLpanda08 if I didnt feel sick enough today, that made me gag. Sounds disgusting. The things people come up with and try.

drabong88 · June 2018

Today I got $160 bill from the insurance company for my routine screening lab work for the hepatitis and HIV screening and whatever else they test for I don't remember having to pay for this at all with my first pregnancy and so far I already have gotten $200 in bills from my doctor's office and insurance company I don't understand how so much changes and two years. We did switch insurance providers at work but I work for a hospital and that is where I'm going to get all this testing done I don't understand how it's not covered. It's so annoying

Define "works." I have a SIL who did CIO, too. And yes, her kids did sleep through the night way earlier than mine. But frankly mine are smarter and more talented than hers. (And it's not just me saying that; other family have noticed too because we have kids the same age; we were pregnant at the same time for our first 2.) Maybe it's that CIO from a young age traumatized her kids and contributed to their issues, or maybe smarter more ambitious children are just less likely to sleep through the night at a young age. I did what worked for my family and my children, and you should do what works for your family and your children.

gorgeousariel · June 2018

@drabong88 I got my global bill for my OB ( appts, ultrasounds, delivery, and PP check up) and its literally 4x more than it was with DD two years ago. Yes we changed from Blue Cross of Alabama to BC of Illinois but seriously? How does that count for 4x the price??

galactickates · June 2018

I wish the bump allowed the option to ignore a whole thread. It's annoying seeing the same old thread get bumped with new notifications I don't feel like reading. The OCD part of me can't handle the 1 new notification without clicking on it to go away. I try really hard to resist... but I always give in....

I refresh the page to see my cleaned up screen and someone else has posted. The cycle starts over again. Madness.
