Random here, or feel free to use this as a Monday bitch fest thread.  It's up to you

No complaints??? Well I have one. Long story short, my previous work location closed a couple of weeks ago and I was transferred to a different location. With an assistant manager I already knew was a pain. She then told me I can't eat or drink during the work day. I also have a new job with requires me to stand in the lobby for several hours at a time. I got a doctors note outlining that I do need to eat and drink throughout the day and I should be able to use a chair if necessary. My note was met with attitude this morning and I am soooooo ready to go home.

honda13 - She sounds delightful. Was there a logical reason for no eating or drinking? I find that extremely unreasonable and am having a hard time coming up with a job where drinking water would cause an issue, so just curious. Glad you got your doc to write a note, but you shouldn't have needed one!

[honda13]

marshian, because the assistant manager says. That's basically the reason. I work at a bank, so obviously it wouldn't cause an issue.

[starsandshamrocks123]

honda13 I feel like that's not even legal? I'd be pissed!!

[teachermomtobe]

My co-teacher has been having "stomach issues" and said there is something going around. I swear if she gets me sick on top of my m/s I will NOT be happy. She needs to stay away from my desk!

That has to violate something somewhere. People have a right to stay hydrated! What a peach.

[marshian]

teachermomtobe - Avoid! Hand sanitizer like crazy. Lysol wipes on everything she touches!

[marshian]

This may be my last week unstaffed, so now I feel a little more motivated to get stuff on my list checked off. But the nausea in the mornings plus the exhaustion is not helping.

She's the worst.  I'm sure you guys will hear a lot about her from now until June.  I keep telling myself I get the last laugh since I will be on maternity leave all summer.  LOL.

Had my viability scan this morning. Only 30 minutes late. But we saw a healthy bean with a nice heartbeat. I feel so much better now. Well, emotionally. My stomach hasn't gotten the memo yet.

[starfish]

So awesome Maggie!! I can't wait for our scan next week! The toddler woke up with a little fever this morning and is currently napping on me. Trick or treating was Saturday night so tonight will be quiet. I know it's bad but if his fever is only 99.5-100.1 today and he has no other symptoms, I'm really debating sending him to school tomorrow. I don't want to be that mom though.

[honda13]

maggie6424, yay for a good scan

[punkybrewster]

I'm not sure where to put this, so I guess I will put it here. I had my second ultrasound today at 6w6d and I got quite the shock! Instead of just one baby in there, there are now 2! We had 2 transferred so I knew this was a possibility, but after our ultrasound last week where there was one 1, I figured the second one didn't take. So it was a very pleasant surprise!

If anyone has some insight on heart rates, I would be interested. My RE was very happy with Twin A's heartrate of 127 BPM, but said Twin B's is a little slow at 112. He wasn't overly concerned, but did say he wants to keep an eye on it. I have my next u/s next Thursday, 11/10. I am thinking/hoping that since Twin B's heartbeat started beating later than Twin A that it is just still catching up, but does anyone know how this looks?

[punkybrewster]

honda13, wow, your boss sounds like a real jerk. I am so sorry you have to deal with that, especially right now. Hopefully she lightens up eventually, but those demands just sound totally unreasonable.

[mreve]

punkybrewster congratulations on twins, that is so exciting! I don't know anything about heart rates so I'm no help there.

[marshian]

punkybrewster - Congrats on the twins!

[agm04]

punkybrewster yay twins! awesome! what you said about twin b's heartbeat starting later makes sense to me.

[sdlaura]

Lurker here (planning to intro tomorrow if I see a heartbeat at my US , but I thought I could contribute to punkybrewster 's question about heartrates. There is a ton of info about m/c research on this site:

expectingscience.com/2015/08/26/lies-damned-lies-and-miscarriage-statistics/

Research showed that between 6w3d and 7 weeks, a heartrate between 110-119 has a higher chance of m/c than one that's over 120. But it's still not that high of a likelihood of m/c. I hope this helps!  And congrats on twins - so exciting!

[punkybrewster]

Thank you so much for that link sdlaura! That has great info in it, and it seems about right for the tone that my RE had regarding the heart rate. It's not great, but it's not catastrophic either. So I guess I just have to wait and see how things go at my next ultrasound.

[MrsEmuTavi]

punkybrewster, congrats on the twins!

AFM, we got our family picture proofs back from our photographer and I'm so in love. No clue how I will choose just 11. I have to AW the one she posted.

[teachermomtobe]

honda13, Your manager is a bitch. End of story.

[lindsay]

Congrats punkybrewster!! I think Drs just have to tell things to you, just to cover their bases in case of a loss. We're expecting twins too, and at our 8 w US one twin measured 5 days behind the other and we got an earful of the negatives that it could mean. I'm trying to stay hopeful and pray for the best.

Try to relax, eat well and rest. I know the waiting sucks!

[punkybrewster]

lindsay,I totally agree about the doctors telling us things to cover their bases. My doctor is very non committal, in that he never gets too excited or too down about anything. He is just honest, so right now it's just a waiting game.
