I'm fed up with the parking system at work and pretty sure I'm asking my MWs to write me out at 39w.
Because everything here is done based on fucking seniority, I have to park in a lot 3+ miles away and get shuttled in. The shuttles don't show up on time or leave on time. Now, they have those "kneeling" buses but do they drop the steps? Nope. I can barely get up them at this point. I'm so done
Our work has spots for expectant mothers. Except they're next to the back entrance to the building so it would have made no sense for me to park there. The last 2+ weeks I said screw it and just parked in a visitor's spot next to the front entrance.

I've really gotta start bringing snacks with me wherever I go. I started feeling really hot/weak/dizzy at the gym so now I'm sitting on the locker room floor drinking water. I brought DS some goldfish that I plan on eating for the drive home. I hate this feeling.

Anatomy scan went pretty well...I'm only 17w4d so they couldn't get all the heart measurements but babies are good size (a little ahead) and only mild concern is cyst on brain on baby B, which can correlate to chromosomal issues but NIPT was neg so doc wasn't overly concerned (of course just telling me about it makes me anxious even though I know it's usually nothing). H missed almost all of it but he's lucky since I'm old with twins and they need more looks at the hearts, so we go back in 3 weeks. And he did get to see a bit...and apologized profusely.

hpnegirl - They need to accommodate pregnants. Either the buses need to make it easy for you to get off and on or you need a walkable spot. Pregnancy is considered a disability in this country, so maybe play that card with HR?
Need all the coffee. We got awoken by tornado sirens/emergency text alerts at 2am so we hung out in the bath tub til the bad part of the storm passed. It was pretty crazy. We have some damage in our neighborhood.. trees, fences, and powerlines are down, but no damage to us! YAY! Our neighborhood FB page is pretty funny. Apparently a few people lost/gained trampolines lol. They think it was just crazy wind and not a tornado, but it was pretty scary. It took me til like 4am to go back to sleep.
Hahahaha. That would mean the head honcho actually cared about employees! (He doesn't). My building alone has about 5k employees in it. Our site has at least 10k, if not closer to 15k. There's no room for everyone to park
Wow. I thought I had it bad. We have roughly 2500 people at my location but with shifts it's usually not too bad. I always park way in the back because it's closest to the exit I use and I'm not here early enough to get a front spot.
My HR lady said to let her know when I need a reserved spot and she would secretly set it up for me. I might be the "United Way winner" for the last quarter this year to get a reserved spot.
That's awesome she's going to work with you on the parking thing when you need it!
Men are funny when they want to talk about the fact that you're pregnant but are afraid to ask. "So... what's new? Anything exciting going on???" "Do you want a beer? No? You're not drinking??"
LOL seriously. I was 20-something weeks and a guy at work asked me if anything was new. At 20-something weeks being pregnant wasn't "new" so I said no at first. Then started laughing "oh yea, I guess there is something new".
We had our second big team meeting. I asked questions as we were told to do. And promptly got thrown under the bus and attacked by the project manager. Thankfully I was sitting next to the VP of the PMO (Project Management Office) who is basically two levels above the PM and she thanked me for my questions and stressed no one should attack anyone for suggestions or questions and we all need to put things out there for the entire team.
I wasn't asking anything insane, just to have ALL the tasks the business analysts are working on in the plan so we can be better about understanding capacity and priorities. There are big gaps. I didn't take any of it personally, but it was pretty rough. My company team members all thanked me for making my points and backed me up.
I've really gotta start bringing snacks with me wherever I go. I started feeling really hot/weak/dizzy at the gym so now I'm sitting on the locker room floor drinking water. I brought DS some goldfish that I plan on eating for the drive home. I hate this feeling.
Snacks on hand at all times is a good idea. Especially somewhere like the gym. Hope you feel better soon!

My friend's daughter had a cyst on her brain at her anatomy scan. I can't remember what it was called but it was NBD and they just did an extra U/S around 28 weeks to make sure it had cleared up on its own like the dr expected it too.
She has a TCF account. I can tag her in if you'd like to talk to someone whose been there.
ETA: Her daughter is now a healthy, happy 8 month old. Cyst disappeared on it's own and there were no effects from it.

Thanks!! I'm feeling ok about it...there aren't any other markers and the NIPT is more accurate, just always a little off putting when the doc hands you reading material on something after saying it's nothing to worry about.

wannabmama, yay for a good a/s! I'm glad your husband made it for some part of it and also apologized profusely. Fx that the cyst clears up on its own.

Anectodally my bff had the same story with her son. It was seen on the anatomy scan, they went for another scan at 28 weeks and it was gone. He is now a happy healthy 4 month old. she was super anxious about it though while she waited for the repeat scan.
Good for you for speaking up marshian that PM sounds like a real peach...
Oh, she is. She also got combative with me because she started defending herself saying we all had access to the plan and it wasn't the first time we were seeing it. I made the point I had asked for the link to the plan and hadn't been given it (multiple times). She tried to fight me on that, at which point I shut up because I'm not going to argue in front of the entire team. Hopefully she looked to everyone else like an asshole because that's how she came off to me at least.
Oh, and so I emailed her as requested after the meeting asking for the link and guess what. I've never seen it before and I don't even have access rights!
Seriously over this project today. Is it maternity leave yet?
It's the smae here in Canada land for STD leave, you have to get a note from an OB or your GP if you are using MW care in order to have them approve the leave. (my insurance anyway...) I think their logic is that MWs are not MDs but seriously they dont just make this shit up!

It could very well be the same for me, but since I used an OB I didn't run into any trouble. MWs are healthcare professionals and should be treated as such!!

I'm 31 weeks so it is pretty obvious but I felt like it was pretty obvious the last time I saw them, too, maybe 6 or 7 weeks ago? They acted like this was new development and I'm like well I have been pregnant all this time, it's not like I just got pregnant and enormous in the past 7 weeks!
