DD1 had a stomach bug last night, and I swear, I’m the most incompetent mom ever when it comes to dealing with a puking kid. I just went and stood in her room while she screamed and cried and my husband started stripping her down. We’ve hardly had to deal with this but every time it’s such a nightmare! And today I’ve been able to do zero work because I’m soooo tired.
Also had an appointment, and I love chatting with my midwife, but otherwise it felt kind of pointless. She listened to the heartbeat, took my bp... and that was it. I get it’s important for preventative reasons and early detection of issues, but when everything is fine and I’m dead tired, feels like such a hassle.
My morning started out with getting to work going to go pee, right after someone made the bathroom horribly smelly. But I really had to pee. So trying to untie my scrub pants gagging trying not to throw up. Then I peed myself a little. Still gagging.
Not to mention everyone keeps asking if I’m feeling okay today. I must look like crap. My skin doesn’t like pregnancy and wintertime combined. 🙄
@blaf322 thanks! I keep trying to tell myself that. We did the best with the info we had at the time not knowing what the after would be like. Also, I’m sorry about your DD falling and needing staples. It’s always so scary when they fall! Praying there’s no trouble getting them out 🙏
@Pascal86 sorry your DD was throwing up! Stomach bugs are awful! I was no help this last time. I was already so nauseous that I just couldn’t. I felt bad! Honestly though, DH does so much better than I do with puking pregnant or not pregnant.
n@nursejenn5 oh no! This week just continues to throw bad things apparently! We ended up going to eat tonight and they sat us closest to the bathroom. I’m like seriously! Don’t put the pregnant lady by the stinky bathroom. It was gross!
@rachstar18 this was absolutely nothing like what you’ve dealt with! Just rough to come home exhausted from a work trip, and have her start throwing up like every 30 minutes for 4 hours, so I just didn’t sleep at all so I could jump up and catch the puke in a bowl. Took me like 3 times to figure this plan out, after going through like every spare bed sheet and blanket we have.
@Pascal86 hope she feels better soon! I was like that once we got to the doctor with DD to get her head staples. Completely. Effing. Useless. And I think DD knew it bc she wanted DH to hold her while things were calm and no one was hurting her anymore. Which was fine... bc I wasn’t holding myself together totally well
Sorry to all with stomach troubles, hope you all are on the upswing!
So H and I had a goofy get together last night. I have an international friend who has not experienced American frozen food/dinners/appetizers (where she is there's just frozen pizza) so we had a frozen food themed party. All told we had 11 or so folks, half of whom left before 10. By 11ish I was sleepy and went upstairs and H and the crowd stayed down until I'm not sure when but H's friend who lives 45 mins away and is going through a divorce/is currently rather emotionally fragile stayed the night (pseudo-pre planned) and I have awoken to a love note from my husband saying "I went to bed at 3:50 don't wake me you're the best woman in the world" a somewhat messy kitchen, an empty bottle of Bourbon, and a really cute image of H after I got out of bed stretching his hand towards my spot in the bed. So highs and lows? Gonna let H do lions share of cleaning when he wakes lol and given these parties may be few and far between come July I'm ok with a bit of a wild night before then, although I'm sad that the frozen food I ate yesterday is still not sitting well with me this morning #oldandpregnant.
