Friday Goods & Bads (Randoms)

[marshian]

TW: Mentioning of miscarriage/etc in my Bad statement

Good: Crackers before getting up + half a bagel + chewing peppermint gum all morning seems to be keeping the nausea at bay. 

Bad: Last night I said something about the pregnancy and H's response was along the lines of "let's wait until your appointment and see if there's actually a baby in there". He's a physician and thinks extremely logically, and we've talked in-depth before getting KU about risk of miscarriage, etc. I understand where he's coming from. I see the logic. But at the same time, statements like that do not help my anxiety (I have general anxiety in normal life). I told him this and he agreed to stop saying stuff like that out loud. 

Another Good to make up for the Bad: H did the laundry I had intended to do the past couple days without me even saying anything. He also heated his food and ate it away from me because I couldn't stand the smell. 

[teachermomtobe]

marshian, sorry your H said that and it upset you. I find DH is the opposite and completely unaware that things can do wrong so he doesn't get why I freak out before ultrasounds.

Good: It's Friday! I called in sick and am enjoying my decision to stay on the couch for the day although I do feel guilty about it a bit.

Bad: the morning sickness sucks. I always considered myself a tough person (I had chronic appendicitis on/off for a year before having my appendix out!) but this is just making me feel like shit!

[marshian]

Thanks, teachermomtobe. It's bad enough I already know all of it, I don't need to be reminded!

Sorry your morning sickness is so bad. I'm hoping mine doesn't get worse. I think I can manage it at this level especially once I get staffed back on a client and am busy all day. Oh, and how did you deal with appendicitis for an entire YEAR?! You are one tough cookie.

I had 4 distinct episodes of what we eventually realized was appendicitis. Each time worse than the last and the final one is what sent me to the doctor. It would always get to the point of me thinking "this might be appendicitis" and then go away which I didn't think could happen with appendicitis but apparently it can. I may have had more episodes since I was having a lot of stomach issues at that time but the pain of the 4 main episodes stand out for sure.

marshian-Sorry H said something that caused such anxiety. It may be his way of preparing for if something goes wrong, I know I am guilty of saying the same things to my H. Hugs.
teachermomtobe-Hope the MS gets better


Good: Working from home today which means staying on the couch typing case notes and catching up on Vampire Diaries.

Bad:Anxiety over the nurse appointment today. For like no reason. It is literally just a history taking appointment and intake and we won't even listen for the heart or have an US but all appointments make me anxious.

[marshian]

cateyes - That is exactly it. It's his way of setting expectations low just in case. Just makes me more nervous until our first appointment in two weeks, though.

Enjoy WFH!

[marshian]

I'm having a sort of stabby type feeling really low in my abdomen, closer to my groin. It's not sharp or painful, not constant, just odd. Google says it sounds like round ligament pain, but that isn't supposed to start until second trimester. Anyone else experiencing something similar?

[agm04]

marshian sounds like it to me. i've had a couple little episodes like that, and i'm pretty sure mine started before 2nd tri with DD. my memory is fuzzy, so i could be wrong, but i remember some pretty legit pain after coughing or sneezing.

good: i got to see this baby's heartbeat! i ended up telling our au pair that i'm pregnant when i got home from my appt, bc it ran long (i was there for 3+ hours) and i was late getting home. and excited. and it's really hard to keep pregnancy from someone who lives with you!

bad: i'm feeling very behind on studying. i got nothing done yesterday since my appt ran so long.

[teachermomtobe]

marshian, I had something similar that Google said was also RLP. It was like a week or two ago so I honestly doubt that's what it was but it went away and hasn't come back and everything was good on the ultrasound last week so I'm not concerned. Hopefully yours goes away too and I doubt it's anything bad.

[marshian]

Thanks agm04 and teachermomtobe. I am getting sharp pangs when I sneeze, but I have a powerful sneeze!

[agm04]

marshian i had forgotten about this until you brought up the RLP, but now i'm laughing about it. when i was pregnant with DD and super nauseated in the 1st tri, i'd feel awful, like almost to the point of throwing up (though i never actually did), and then i'd sneeze and it would bring temporary relief. but the sneeze would cause RLP and then my face would be all twisted in agony. lol. i must have looked ridiculous.

[teachermomtobe]

cateyes, GL at your appt today and I hope you feel less anxious after even though it's not for an ultrasound or anything.

[marshian]

cateyes - Hope your appointment goes well!

[mreve]

I opened this thread a couple times and didn't reply because I couldn't think of a good, but now I have one!

Good: MIL invited us over for supper tonight so I don't have to figure out what to cook. Also, we'll probably tell them that I'm pregnant because I spilled it to my parents earlier this week.

Bad: This week has been rough. I'm beginning to feel like I'm not really pregnant until I start crying and completely embarrass myself in public. Last time it was getting my blood drawn and I nearly fainted and couldn't go back to work, this time it was at the doctors office when I couldn't get the prescription for diclectin I forgot to take with me last week.

Another good: I did eventually get the diclectin and it's definitely made a difference.

[mreve]

teachermomtobe I hope your morning sickness improves. It definitely takes a toll.

cateyes I hope your appointment goes (went?) well and eases your anxiety.

Good: Today's my birthday!

Bad: I got into a HUGE fight with my boss at work today. He is just generally very immature, disrespectful, and condescending. But he took it way too far to the point where I felt bullied and unsafe in the office with him. I have taken my concerns to the owner of our business, so we will see what happens from here. I am not the only person in my office to have a problem with him, but the owner has his head in the sand a lot of time, so I'm not sure what his reaction will be. I may escalate the situation to corporate if I don't get a satisfactory resolution. Luckily, the boss I got in an argument has given his notice and is leaving in 7 weeks, but I'm not sure I can even hang on that long.

[punkybrewster]

cateyes, hope your appt went well!
marshian, I'm sorry YH made your anxiety worse. I try to not to think about how anxious I am, but I don't think I will be not nervous until I actually deliver this baby. And then it will be a whole new set of worries!

[teachermomtobe]

punkybrewster, Happy Birthday! Wow, your boss sounds like a dick and to have that happen on your birthday to top it off is super sucky. I hope you get a satisfactory resolution from the owner.

[mreve]

Happy birthday punkybrewster!

[marshian]

punkybrewster - Happy birthday! Sorry your boss was so mean, especially today! Glad he's leaving but I hope you find a solution while he's still there.

[marshian]

mreve - Glad the diclectin is helping!

[MrsEmuTavi]

Happy birthday punkybrewster!

I hope everyone with MS gets some relief soon!

Good: We took a family portrait this afternoon and I think they came out great! Also, pizza for dinner!

Bad: Having a 13month old is rough when pregnant. So tired to begin with and then dealing with wake ups has been brutal. DS will only calm down for me, not H, so I'm on C duty MOTN.

[panda]

I'm late, just wanted to say happy birthday punkybrewster!

[cateyes]

Thanks everyone. We had a great appointment and I really liked this nurse. She also gave me which doctor would likely do early US if needed for me. Now I am conflicted about whether or not to stay with this practice or not. It was just a history and education appointment so nothing to report. Next appointment (here anyways) is Nov. 21st!

[marshian]

cateyes - Glad it went well! Hope they make it easy for you to make a decision on which practice to go with.

[ihatepizza]

Good - Randomly had an extra $500 on my paycheck (retro pay for a wage increase) and were reimbursed for all
our IVF meds (we payed out of pocket so this is thousands of dollars back)

Bad- woke up with my throat so sore I can't swallow and a stuffed nose, have a bladder infection and of course morning sickness. Thanks to my OHSS after IVF I don't have any sick time (soooo TGIF)

Good- It's snowing !!! The first snow fall of the year is so beautiful and it's enough that there's a beautiful layer on everything

Happy birthday! Mine is tomorrow, I love having an October birthday. So many fun festivities this time of year!

Sorry about your boss. You shouldn't feel unsafe at your work place. Hopefully there will be a resolution prior to his leave. 7 weeks can feel like an eternity when things are tense at work. Keep us updated!
