T-minus 6 hours until my OB appointment. I can't tell if I'm usual sick or nervous sick.
Right there with you this morning. Less than an 1 hour and half and we'll have our first sono. So I'm asking myself MS or nervous tummy? Ugh.
FX for both of you!!
The dead thing (rat) was removed from my house yesterday!! No more smell. But that does mean I have to re-wash all of my linens. I'm trying to spread it over a couple of weeks so that I don't totally break my washing machine.
Good God. I never read Babycenter, but I've been bed-bound and bored out of my skull. Anyway, look at this awesome nugget:
"I am 13 weeks now, 5 ft and 109 pounds (gained 6-7 lbs) my doctor told me that although its too early to say that, but I am soo tiny, and most probably will have to do c-section!! Is this the norm? Being tiny means that I can't have natural birth?"
THIS is why I don't read Babycenter.
Yeah, that's messed up. That sounds like a very pro-section doctor who has no time whatsoever for his patient's actual feelings or desires.
And, yes, of course small women can have natural births. For christ's sake . . .

Isn't it sad though? That she believes that doctor? I hope someone gave her some real advice

Anyone around here have a BabyCenter account who is willing to give some good advice?
So, I peeked on BabyCenter and can't even find the thread to see if that poster ever got some good advice. I'm ten pagesin and the original posts are still only an hour old. That's how fast that site moves. Many of the OPs go unanswered. It's just like strangers passing in the night - each special snowflake posting for each of her separate symptoms and feels.

God, that's depressing. I hope she has someone in her life to give her a hug and tell her to find a new doc.
Plus: this makes me so grateful for this community that's ACTUALLY A COMMUNITY.
I think people who run are better than me. I think people who run in the cold are way better than me. I think people who run in the cold AND in extreme conditions are waaaaay better than me.

I lurk on their DWIL board. They usually have some good eye-rolling drama there. Early FFC?

I need a good way to (professionally) tell this social worker that no I will not make someone do her job for her. I really want to email her back and tell her to fuck off.

laurelita42 -- I may very well reflexively love-tit everything you say when I see your signature this month.
elvenqueen This is how I feel about your signature allthetime. I think I might be addicted. What if I only visit this board so I can see naughty giggling and happy dancing eyebrows?
My feet stink! I bought ballet flats made by crocs, they aren't hideous and are extremely comfortable. I wear them without socks. They were not stinky for a while, but I can smell them with my feet in them today. I am grossing myself out.
My doctor said this horrible dry cough is just a cold and I need to deal with it. What I really want to do: hibernate for the weekend and see if it goes away. What I'll actually do: be miserable for the weekend.
Also, my kid is standing behind be making heavy breathing sounds like that kid that followed helga around on hey arnold.
Today I went to a deli for a tuna sandwich. There was a pregnant lady in front of me, and she ordered almost the exact same tuna with smoked cheddar. I almost said something, but then thought about the horror if she was just a little chubby, or if she'd maybe given birth recently.
I got a bag of maternity clothes from a fashionable friend. I'm super excited and can't wait until I'm off work so I can properly check them out. I also got a swing, play mat, and a bath. . .but I'm most excited about cute clothes.
When I get a conversational text at work, I sometimes think "don't these people realize it's the middle of the day??" and then I turn around and keep messing around on the internet. I'm dumb.
Heartbeat of 163. Took the doc a while to find it so I almost freaked out and cried. But we still have a baby in there!!
Yay for fantastic news!
My random: a coworker poked my fat roll today and was excited I was showing. Now this little fat roll is newly acquired, and an obvious fat roll (not even bloat that looks like pregnancy). I told her she just poked my fat. She just laughed. This situation bothered me way more than I anticipated and now I'm only eating vegetables from here on out! Just kidding, I throw up every veggie I touch. Uuugh.

I have a neighbor who is an Ob/gyn. She legit told me that she "sees" me having a C-section because I'm little (also about 5 ft). I rolled my eyes internally. She also said after my loss (I asked her for advice at a neighborhood party when I was bleeding) that "at least I could get pregnant" When I first met her I was hoping we could be friends/hang out but after those gems I can't talk to her without feeling irritated.

flippinchica What a bitch. Seriously. I'm also about 5ft and had people tell me that during my first pregnancy. I'm pretty sure they saw me rolling me eyes.

On the flip side, I'm average size/slightly short and had to deal with a health problem that caused me to gain weight. I got pregnant after I was healthy again, but before I lost the weight. My grandmother (who I love, but who has no filter) told me that I wouldn't need a c-section like my cousin because I have big hips. I love that it somehow insults both my cousin who is somehow worse at giving birth and me for being worse at being sufficiently skinny. And she's my nice grandma.
Dear universe of people: STFU about predicting how birth will go. You are only making an ass of yourself. And for fuck's sake stop commenting on people's bodies - it never goes well.
My Thursday random is that I'm going to need a joystick ultrasound for my previous medical condition after all. If I get another technician who is rough with that thing, I'm kicking the bitch (Not really. I'm Canadian, I'll probably apologize to her for something instead). Getting these 2x a year is starting to make me really grumpy.

My best friend is 5 feet something and super tiny. Guess what? She gave birth naturally. No complications. A hypno birth, even. Here I am, 5 foot something, larger than her (I feel by a massive amount). I had a c-section due to a few complications. Your size doesnt predict how you give birth.

My blood pressure was pretty high at my appointment yesterday, so I'm trying to make an effort to get more exercise in. I planned on waking up early to get take a morning walk (NOPE!) and then I planned on taking a walk during a break at work (but now its sleeting outside). Bah. 0 for 2. My normal routine consists of biking 4.5 miles to/from work (its not only for exercise but helps me mentally decompress) and running every other day. Since getting knocked up, my activity has been nil. I'm either too nauseous or the weather has been crappy.
My random is more of an annoying symptom. I believe I am gassy. My side hurts bad (which I think I also pulled earlier when I pooped, don't ask how because I have no idea)and it rumbles so it has to be gas. But BY GOD, it hurts.
And I still want candy. And Mexican food after my nacho joke.
