Happy Monday, Mamas!

Here is this week's random thread.

hakele · May 2019

In the article I shared, my weekend was #3. Every meal was #3.
I just want a wine and/or a beer.
I was jealous of a TECATE! WTF.

Also, if you like Hoppy Beers and need a little fix, see if your Whole Foods carries Hops Water. H2OPS. It is yummy and tastes like a beer, but has 0 calories or any of the other things that make beer "fun". We went out and got some because I've been dying after long days of working on the house. I just want a cold beer at the end of my day of hard work. This does trick the mind, just a teeny bit. https://h2ops.com/

I was gif #2 yesterday. I probably didn't breathe the entire time, but I didn't lose my balance! I was so proud of myself for "only missing a few hairs" and later realized I missed an entire line.

I was also #3 when DH and I got tacos before going to a baseball game yesterday. The restaurant had so many mimosa flavors

All up in #7 and #9. I'm just drained by 8:30. No amount of resting midday helps.

indulgentgypsy · May 2019

I was #3 making beer cheese soup the other day. The beer just smelled so good! And I am definitely that fat cat that can't roll over.

gingermama46 · May 2019

#2 was me all last week when trying to put my sanuk sandals on, I've since started wearing non strappy ones. #3 and I'm with @hakele I just want a beer! Bless DH's heart because he's been getting me these fancy sodas from World Market to try to make me think like I am having a cocktail and lemme tell ya, not equivalent haha

greeneyedgirl12 · May 2019

Dealing with #s 1 & 3 right now. Finding 1 especially weird today because LO is on his/her second extended hiccup run of the day, and fact I can feel them so strongly inside but they’re not externally palpable is weird.

nopegoat · May 2019

I feel 4 and 7 so hard lately.

key33 · May 2019

#4 is pretty much every time my LO moves.

Also, yes to #9, most night its by 10 but there have been a few I've been out by 9. lol

nopegoat · May 2019

I have to leave for my OB appt in an hour. I'm dragging so much ass and haven't even started getting myself or my two littles ready. I'm so tired. This baby was up all night trying to break out through my side. It hurt so bad a few times that I screeched and woke H up.

jenniferjoy37 · May 2019

I think I’m all of the above for the link.... it’s getting bad. Ugh.

Also: I got my results of my 24hr Urine test on the patient portal. Normal is 30-150, I’m at 159... kinda freaking out a little bit, it’s too early for PE stuff! So I’m just waiting for the phone call from the OB To tell me what to do next. :’(

foodislove · May 2019

@nopegoat Hugs, that sounds terrible.

Suffering through work today, just ready to check out at 5 and go home and veg. Hahaha, what a lie. I have laundry and crud to get done.

indulgentgypsy · May 2019

+1 to the already ready to go home. About 50% of our Middle School students earned the end of the year camping trip and they are leaving in about 30 minutes. The rest... didn't earn because of grades or discipline issues, and of course they all still came to school today. I am already cranky and not in the mood to deal with PIA students. I'm watching Kim Possible and other Disney stuff in my room all day.

expatmom39 · May 2019

@jenniferjoy37 Sorry! Hugs! Nobody needs MORE to manage right now...😞

Ya’ll I am the seal in bed...so painful to move!

...and I need a drink to relax the crazy body tension, not for the taste! But...a well made strawberry Daiquiri...sounds like floating in the clouds right now...

btw Channing Tatum in drag as a bitchy girl is HOT! Maybe I should watch some SNL of his instead of working today! F work!! 🤪

nopegoat · May 2019

Just got done with my appt. I let her know about the contractions a few days ago and she went ahead and checked my cervix just to make sure all is OK. I was a fingertip dilated but with as many kids as I've had she said it probably never fully closed anyways so no worries there.

In true turd fashion, his heartrate was in the 190's and wouldn't come down so I had to stay and be monitored for a bit. Of course it was the one dang time I didn't bring anything for my 2 littles to do. Thankfully they weren't too bad.

Finally after about 40mins he calmed down and I was able to leave.

indulgentgypsy · May 2019

@nopegoat with my YDS every appt after 34 weeks I ended up at L&D for ultrasound and monitoring because he was so active with such a high heart beat.

jenniferjoy37 · May 2019

@nopegoat So sorry you had to go through that, but glad they’re taking care of you! Glad he calmed down too!

frenchbaby18 · May 2019

@jenniferjoy37 fingers crossed for you!!! Borderline results can be even more stressful....hopefully they call you soon and give you an acceptable plan!

nopegoat · May 2019

@indulgentgypsy I've been wondering when they would start for me because my boys are complete uncooperative turds (I nickname them well in 1st tri 🤣🤣) towards the end. Every single one lol.

@jenniferjoy37 thank you! Me too! It's too early for that mess lol. And my fingers are crossed you get good news from the Dr soon! Huge hugs! ❤️

expatmom39 · May 2019

@nopegoat Glad you checked out ok! I’m not following everyone’s medical acronyms or conditions super well, but cheering you on, nonetheless! ❤️

key33 · May 2019

@jenniferjoy37 - I hope you get some good news from the doctor.

@nopegoat - Glad that little one calmed down pretty quickly for you.

blackhottamales · May 2019

I hope no one is offended i created a Birth Stories Thread. Since so many people may be leaving soon, i thought i could create the thread for those that are willing to share for others to read about.

hestia-is-wearie · May 2019

@blackhottamales No problem at all! I can't believe we're almost at that point

Should the thread maybe be called "birth announcements" the way the other BMBs have it? Idk if I'll post my full story here, but I will probably at least make an announcement.

Cbeanz · May 2019

I absolutely love birth stories - hearing them, reading them, telling them.

I'll share mine there when the day comes!

jennm0724 · May 2019

Had my baby shower this weekend...got lots of great things! Including a cold!! I’m home sick today and not thrilled... I’ve made it to 31 weeks without getting sick...son of a bitch 😂

jenniferjoy37 · May 2019

@jennm0724 That’s the worst! I hope your cold goes away quickly! But yay for baby shower! Hope you had a blast!

jasonsgirl92 · May 2019

@jenniferjoy37 hope all news is good 😊
@nopegoat I'm glad he calmed down but have a question, how did they know it was up? My doc just puts the Doppler on for a couple seconds and then touches to make sure my uterus is up where it should be... I can't imagine he could hear if it was high 🤔

@blackhottamales we should have had this a whiiiile ago! So thanks 😍
BBC which I mostly lurk lol, has theirs since the first tri and there's I think 12 babies on there already.
I do love this forum more... No one seems like they only have half a brain, no one gets in crazy internet fights, no one treats others badly. I love it even though I'm not as active as I'd like to be.

nolemomma14 · May 2019

@jasonsgirl92 the Doppler tells them the heart rate, even if it’s just on there for a few seconds

nopegoat · May 2019

@jasonsgirl92, yep. What @nolemomma14 said. The doppler gives the heart rate. She noticed the number was a bit high and held it on there for a few minutes hoping the number would decrease. It didn't. So off for longer monitoring I went.

@jennm0724 oh no! I hope you feel better soon!

jennm0724 · May 2019

@nopegoat thanks! I’m trying, never did I think I’d miss being able to take medicine so much lol. My work is throwing my a baby shower tomorrow (it’s a surprise but no one keeps secrets from me lol) so I have to go into the office tomorrow. I’m hoping not to be such a snotty mess by then 😂

greeneyedgirl12 · May 2019

@jennm0724 You can take Benadryl, Mucinex, and Sudafed, just try to do it more sparingly than you would not pregnant. They’re on both my OB’s safe list and two others I found online from reputable docs...

jennm0724 · May 2019

@greeneyedgirl12 thanks, I asked my OB what I could take and she basically told me to just use saline nose spray and a humidifier... at least my sore throat has gone away! Just super stuffed up now.

Happyin14 · May 2019

I am all the gifs. All of them. 2 more weeks of work and I cannot wait. They are doing everything in their power to make sure I don’t miss them next week.

greeneyedgirl12 · May 2019

@jennm0724 Weird. Mine said meds okay, especially this late, just maybe not as much as I would unpregnant. Now I'm nervous...

gingermama46 · May 2019

@greeneyedgirl12 I've been told the same thing, I have terrible allergies, so she said meds ok. Each doctor is different. @jennm0724 for the snot, take a hot shower tonight and one tomorrow morning too to steam that crap out. Not sure where you're at but if the pollen is as bad for you as it is for us this year, a hot steamy shower should help in addition to saline spray and humidifier!

gingermama46 · May 2019

I'm so bad at kick counts, I remember to do them but then get distracted or someone comes into my office so I'm not counting them correctly.

Also super excited for a three day weekend

hestia-is-wearie · May 2019

@jennm0724 I second what @samathak46 said, and add a peppermint or eucalyptus shower bomb if you can find one. Or add a few drops of peppermint essential oil out of the direct flow of water while you're showering.

jennm0724 · May 2019

thank you ladies @samanthank46 @hestia14! hot shower coming up! I do have peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils I can add.

cb123391 · May 2019

I've always been a little on the busty side (38DD when not pregnant) so typically I can't get away with no wearing a bra or just wearing a sports bra. BUT here I am 33+2 STM with twin boys saying fuck it.. I wear sports bras everyday. It's the only thing that seems to be comfortable at this point. And yet, by the end of the day it still feels so uncomfortable. Hoping these boys bake a few more weeks but I'm looking forward to not being pregnant at this point.

keebler6elf · May 2019

I am definitely feeling the fat cat one! It takes a few tries to get up....

@greeneyedgirl12 @jennm0724 @samanthank46
I've been to two different OB offices this pregnancy, and both allow allergy meds. They had a slightly different approved list, but regular Benadryl was on both. I take a half pill at a time because I got too dehydrated with a full pill.

greeneyedgirl12 · May 2019

@keebler6elf I’m sick with a super-epic head cold DH brought home from work, but same theory. Instead of taking meds every time it’d been the 4/6h I’d normally have to space them, I’ve been taking them only 1-2x/day, if that, when I need to be particularly functional, for example I was NOT doing 2 2h flights and a layover unmedicated.
