I so do not want to go to work today. I’m not showering so I can sleep a little longer.

Erinm278 · July 2018

I've been totally dreading work lately and not for any particular reason.

On a positive note I finally pooped today!

mainemama_ · July 2018

My SIL is in labor right now and I really don't want to go see the baby. I know thats mean but I really don't like her and don't want to give her time out of my day. I'm really a nice person though

AshleySparkle720 · July 2018

Anyone else not able to sleep past a certain time right now? The last 4 days I've been up at 530 to have a bowl of cereal. Then I wander down to the nice cold basement and sleep on the couch until 7 which feels like a nap. I'm so tired. I just want to sleep.

cali1710 · July 2018

@AshleySparkle720 I’m awake at 5/530 every morning. Its annoying because I’m so tired

kayjay44 · July 2018

@mainemama_ - don’t go. I think that’s fine.

@ashleysparkle720 - 5/5:30 every day. Just want to sleep.

My blump is out of control. I easily look much more pregnant. It doesn’t help that I’m super constipated and I’ve lost so much weight in just the last week

madwhitlove · July 2018

Pooping hurts like hell. And I'm tired, all the time. I teach English to Chinese kids from 5-7 before my day job and I thought I was going to miss a class this morning because I couldn't leave the bathroom lol.

bleucheeznwine · July 2018

I woke up last night with the worst poop pains ever, but couldn't get the job done. I've just come to terms with the fact that I'm going to feel like I always have to poop for the rest of eternity.

ruby696 · July 2018

I'm now wearing my fat pants. And they're tight.

disneybaby84 · July 2018

This Wednesday is 7-11 day. Go get yourself a slurpee.

McKBaby · July 2018

I'm feeling some nausea today, and I'm not complaining. Sure, it's great having a symptom-free first trimester, but also pretty nerve-racking.

madreofdragons · July 2018

So many posts about trying to poop. I am absolutely not reading them or writing this while trying to poop as well.... I’m not.... okay, fine.

mainemama_ · July 2018

@kayjay44 I told them that since H is out of town for work this week I wouldn't be going and that the hospital is not a place for a 4 and 2 yo to be

bleucheeznwine · July 2018

It's official that there's nothing I eat now that doesn't give me heartburn. This started way later last time. Fock.

kayjay44 · July 2018

Being nauseous/vomiting and constipated is literal hell.

AshleySparkle720 · July 2018

Do we have any other hyperemesis moms? Mine has been fluctuating, but kicked my butt today. I almost fainted outside at a play date because my thyroid goes nuts in addition to my constant sickness. It's so brutal. I'm grateful to have started my meds before it started to get bad!

mainemama_ · July 2018

Also, does anyone else feel that February is SO FAR AWAY?! Like we still have to get through the rest of summer, all of fall, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's and we still aren't even there. I found out I was pregnant in October and we were due in June with DS and it didn't seem that far away but I feel like February will never get here.

Totally random but I can't stop thinking about it haha

LuLiLaEv · July 2018

@mainemama_ I’m the opposite, I feel like it’s right around the corner, with the holidays it goes so fast!

ruby696 · July 2018

@LuLiLaEv Same. Now that the 4th of July is over, summer will go by so quickly. And with all the holidays, I feel like February will be here before we know it.

BourbonBiscuits · July 2018

@mainemama_ my first was born in February too (why am I only fertile in May??) and once we get past November it FLIES. My favorite was having second tri energy in the fall. Perfect weather, so many activities, snuggly sweaters, hot chocolate. It’ll go faster than we think!

This insight makes me so excited, because I love fall so much! My basic betch heart thanks you.

smallbutmighty77 · July 2018

Soooo tired!! My 11mo old adds to that. Mama just wants a nap when I get home. Luckily DD sleeps through the night most nights, but it's still a 5:30-6:15 wake up daily. On another note, we are telling our immediate families this weekend. It's my bday on Sat and we're doing dinner with DH's fam. It's funny because just last weekend they announced they are going on a 3week FL vacation...leaving Feb.16th. I am due 2/21- and most likely doing a scheduled c-section 2/14 so...they are in for a surprise. We will tell my family the following day when we see them on on vacation together. Sorta nervous for reactions since it's way sooner than we were thinking of having our second.

agea · July 2018

I had to leave work today because I’m so miserable. Therefore I also ended up telling my boss and I’m only 8wks. Last time I hid it till 16w! Am I weaker this time around?? Idk maybe. My resolve is just dead. My head hurts, I can feel my heartbeat, I’m getting hot & cold flashes, anything I eat fills my whole abdomen with gas pains, terrible food aversions. Anyone else have to confess earlier than planned due to symptoms?
I do think time will speed up toward feb once this hellish summer (and first trimester) are over.

kayjay44 · July 2018

@AshleySparkle720 - ME. I'm pretty miserable, even on three meds. I'm still nauseous and puking on occasion (down from 6-10 times a day).

@ssag - I always tell my boss/immediate coworkers early. Since it may affect them (even if I have a loss) I want them to know so they can support me how I need to be supported. TW - in between 1.0 and 2.0 I had a MMC that resulted in hemorrhaging and I ended up hospitalized and it was really nice that I didn't have to explain everything. Just my two cents - It also probably depends on how close you are with your colleagues.

I FINALLY pooped. It was like shitting a coke can, but man, do I feel better.

mainemama_ · July 2018

When I think about it that way it does seem like it will go by quicker. I think when I get through July and August it will be better. I am not a summer person. I don't like heat and I hate bugs so get me through the next couple months and I'll have a better mindset.

agea · July 2018

@kayjay44 I think it would be a huge relief to tell my coworkers and get the secret out. I just feel like if I tell my immediate team, everyone else will know soon after. Not that they’re not trustworthy, just when more than one person knows, it gets talked about and that gets overheard. What week was your mc?

etnyah · July 2018

Re: Telling people at work, I’m waiting as long as possible. I like my coworkers, but it’s a tiny, male dominated, family owned business and they’ve never had a pregnant woman on staff before. There is no policy for maternity leave. Once I reach second tri I’ll tell HR (which is one person).

kayjay44 · July 2018

@ssag - It was early and I've passed that milestone (5w6d the baby stopped developing), but I had to have a dating US since I hadn't had a period after DD yet. So far, even in an open working environment, only the three people I've told know. I'll probably tell some more people tomorrow because we have a HH for someone leaving after work and if I don't drink it'll be a red flag - I work at a SaaS company that has weekly HHs and lots of events with drinking and most people partake.

kayjay44 · July 2018

My first baby purchase arrived - Jurassic Park themed muslin blanket.

agea · July 2018

@kayjay44 how many weeks are you now?

cali1710 · July 2018

I too feel like February is far away. I found out at my 8 week u/s that I’m expecting identical twins so I don’t think they will let me go past 36 weeks. So I’m looking at mid January. Still seems so far away.

Also I’m already in my maternity pants. I started at 12 weeks with DD but I guess with two in there its starting early. I know its bloat but still.

Edit: the bump cut off 90% of my comment

kayjay44 · July 2018

@ssag - 8 weeks

I told my boss and teammate right away (5 weeks). I told another coworker last week and one today and I’ll share with my larger “team” tomorrow probably.

mainemama_ · July 2018

So I feel like the biggest bitch ever. SIL had her baby, I told them I wasn't going to chase children all over the hospital and let me know when you get home. SIL is now being rushed to a bigger hospital to the ICU due to a collapsed lung and being 'full of air' and unable to breathe. Yup, I'm an ass.

LuLiLaEv · July 2018

Re:telling work. I’m only 8 weeks but I plan on holding off as long as possible, like 20 weeks+ if I can hide a bump that long (3rd kid, no abs)
I get SO sick of everyone asking me how I’m feeling every single day and I’m also trying to move to a different department so I don’t want it getting out that I’ll be taking off 4 months and ruining any opportunities. But mostly, I repeat
I CANNNOT GO ANOTHER PREGNANCY WITH PEOPLE ASKING ME HOW IM FEELING AND HOW MY PREGNANCY IS GOING EVERY DAY.

I’m not even telling friends because I’m honestly just a bitch and don’t want to deal with the pregnancy small talk.

except with you people

then I’ll take the small talk

lauriebream · July 2018

@LuLiLaEv I feel ya. I get so irritated when my mom & MIL text me asking how I’m feeling. I know they are just excited and whatever but it bugs me. Especially because my answer right now is “oh ya know, still like shit”.

madreofdragons · July 2018

OOOOOH! I forgot to mention at my appt today they told me I most likely have a dermoid cyst on my right ovary. I kept hearing I had a cyst when I would have scans of my intestines, kept thinking it was reoccurring. Nope. Born with it, and a lot of times those things have hair, teeth, and muscle tissue. Whatever you do, don’t google it.

7-11 doesn’t exist in the Midwest. I think I’ve seen one once in my entire life.

MIL is the one who constantly asks how I feel

bleucheeznwine · July 2018

I HATE being asked how I'm doing. Save the unnecessary small talk. You don't care and even if you did, what are you going to do about it?
