Bitch Fest - Anything goes!

I hope starting this thread is ok...😆
Let's hear your rants about anything! 

_____________
I am still so annoyed by this....

I spent last week out of state at a work conference. Some colleagues and I stopped at a local cafe for lunch one day. The menu boasted all fresh, handmade ingredients. I ordered a grilled veggie panini with fresh mozzarella. Knowing that mozzarella is one of the easiest cheeses to make by hand (and, therefore, of all of the cheeses, most likely to be made with random milk), I had to ask if it was pasteurized. As usual, the wait staff wasn't sure and went to go ask. This prompted the cafe owner to walk out to our table and loudly ask "Okay! Who's pregnant??!?" before (wo)mansplaining pasteurization to the group. The owner was trying to out my pregnancy to my coworkers way earlier than I intended on telling them!! I made no admission, and no one asked me directly, but now the idea has been planted. 🙄🙄🙄

    That's extremely rude and unprofessional. I'd have stepped her to the side and had a few words with her. So sorry to hear that!!

    UGH - I had my NIPT screening lab done 10 days ago. I called today to check-in on results since I haven’t heard back. They told me they failed to send the lab in so they planned to retake it at my next appt in 2 weeks. I wish I found out sooner so I wasn’t wasting time hoping for results!

    @carlymanzy This happened to a friend of mine also! So frustrating!

    @jellyfish97 That sounds so rough, I'm sorry.  :( Do you think you might have hyperemesis gravidarum? Both Amy Schumer and Kate Middleton suffered from this and had to be hospitalized for dehydration. (Kate had it during all three of her pregnancies. :s) You may want to talk with your provider about an HG treatment plan if this is the case. Hang in there!  <3

    Happened to me too, but it was weird, they measured me saying I was actually 9 weeks instead of 8 weeks, so I got my lab work done, results were 4 days later than they said bc the doctor said the lab said my due date didn't add up to the week I was considered so they didn't bother testing for some, the doctor obviously updated them and I got my results but I was slightly annoyed lol

    @cait32 that would be amazing to take maternity leave during first tri. 

    Also echoing everyone else - being pregnant (while obviously an absolutely miraculous blessing!) fucking sucks. I hate being pregnant. I hate feeling hungover constantly for 9 months. I hate the puking. I hate the bloating. I hate the round ligament pain. I hate the lightning crotch at the end. I hate getting so huge and swollen. Being pregnant is hard and it's not something people talk about openly because it can come across like you're ungrateful? I love my kids. I love this baby. But being pregnant is for the birds.

    Add me to the list of people who hate being pregnant. That was one of my hesitations about having this third baby. So far this pregnancy is going better than my first two, but I still hate it. The poor sleeping, the nausea, the exhaustion, when it gets hard to move towards the end... I was able to lose a lot of weight after my second and kept it off for a year, so I'm hoping to be able to do that again but also start at a lower weight by being "healthier" this pregnancy. That remains to be seen, though...

    I hate monitoring myself for possible GD. It’s invasive to my schedule, and I feel like I’m constantly worrying about if I’ll be able to test in two hours if I eat now, and I don’t think I’m eating enough because I just don’t know what to eat to avoid sugar spikes 😩 I’m not a snacker normally, so having like zero options is not helping that.

    @cait32 100%. I was finally back to my pre-pregnancy weight and had a great workout routine. I felt awesome. And then we got this surprise pregnancy. And it sounds so selfish but the first thing I was pissed about is that I'm going to have to re-establish that great routine again. I'm already up 10 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight. I know once I hit second tri I'll be able to exercise again, but I'll still be starving all the time so it won't make much difference. I try to tell myself it's all short-term, and totally worth it, but my self-esteem just takes a huge hit.

    😩 This convo is so validating! I am hating the way I feel and I'm sick of feeling sick (or subpar at the very least) Every. Single. Day. I'm not excited enough about the pregnancy to feel better by just thinking "this will be worth it". My husband would also like if I felt like having sex again....ever.
