SS Saturday

[sidneyvicious]

I can't tell you how many times I've said, "Pregnancy is not a disability." Well, last night we were out to dinner, and when we got up to leave, my hips had totally locked up. It took me ten minutes to walk out of the restaurant, hanging on my husband the whole way like a little old lady.

My baby seems to get the hiccups when I'm siting and it feel them down near my pelvic bone. For a second I thought 'oh no, I'm probably squishing her and that's why she has the hiccups' then I realized I was a SS

DS was born at 33 weeks and my water broke 12 hours before felt contractions. So it's been on my mind a lot lately.

Last night I was in the pool and had a flash thought of 'if my water broke right now in the pool would I even know?!' And then I decided to quit being an SS and enjoy myself.

I'm having a SS panic moment right now. I was organizing the gifts in the office and I leaned too far forward and the chair flipped up and I kind of squished my stomach when I fell forward. Baby is moving but now I'm worried I did something bad or hurt my placenta somehow. I know rationally everything is ok but my SS brain can't help but be totally freaked out.

I haven't really felt her moving so I had a small chai latte and a cookie this morning to wake her up - and she did move - but I really haven't felt Her all that much since and I'm still kind of SS-ing over it.

I discovered that my left boob now makes colostrum the other night by squeezing my boob/nipple. I did it a few times. Middle of the night I woke up to pee and when I laid back down I realized I was having a painful contraction. I felt it in my belly and vagina. So I'm laying there like fuck, I messed with my nipple too much and sent myself into labor.

Thankfully that was a false conclusion. No more milking myself until I'm either trying to stimulate labor or feed the baby.

wormgerm I'm so afraid of that happening that I told DH they are off limits to any touching until after the baby comes!

I'm the same way today! Instead of the chai latte and cookie it was coffee and oj

I cried today because I'm tired. And not just because I'm tired, but because I'm convinced I'm the most tired pregnant woman ever and I'm scared I will feel this tired for the rest of my life. Which I totes know is not true. But I cried over the thought anyway.

I'm annoyed right now because DH said "I'm going to bed" and then he went to bed, but he didn't ask me if I wanted to come to bed. I realize exactly how stupid this is but I can't stop being annoyed with him.

I've definitely had those moments.

My SS moment- I really hate that there are no solidified plans for my baby shower. My sister, my aunt and my teaching partner have all told me they want to throw a shower but no one has given me any details at all. I honestly wouldn't be upset if I don't get one but I am NOT someone who enjoys surprises so I don't like not knowing.

A little late on this post, but I had to share my biggest SS moment ever. DH is out of town, so last night my sister was over just keeping me company while her BF was at work. I fell asleep on the couch so she woke me up and told me to go to bed and left. Whenever I sleep I get super congested, so I went upstairs and was blowing my nose in the bathroom. All of a sudden, blood is just gushing out of my nose with no end in sight and several huge blobs just fell out. I typically have several mild bloody noses each week since becoming pregnant, but this was by no means mild. Now I'm blaming exhaustion for this, but I was totally freaking out. I was convinced that I was going to pass out from the blood loss, obviously injuring my belly and baby in the process or that this was some serious pregnancy symptom that I had never heard of. It didn't help that my mom had told me a couple of weeks ago that nosebleeds can be a sign of high blood pressure, even though at all of my appointments mine has been on the low end of normal. I called my sister and asked her to please come back to monitor me - she laughed, but came anyway. As soon as she pulled up, it stops and we do some googling. As any non-SS would know, nosebleeds are completely normal and super common during pregnancy (which I also know, except when it's 1:30am and I'm exhausted). I was pretty embarrassed, but luckily my sister and I are close, so she didn't laugh at me too much.

Not Saturday but I have a really SS question. I bought a few four packs of toilet paper over the weekend and I smelled a few of them because Ii was blowing my nose and they have this unusually strong chemical smell to me. I gave a roll to DH to smell and he says that they smell like something was burning to him. I should just throw them all away right? Please don't flame me too much for being crazy

I would take them back for a refund.

I'm secretly terrified of sex starting labour. Its so ridiculous its not even funny. Its the first time in months that I've had any kind of appetite (and man, its back in a big way) and I feel like we'd both benefit hugely...we've both been sick, tired and miserable lately. But I just can't bring myself to do it b/c I'm so worried. How SS is that?! *hangs head in shame*

I totally googled that last night. According to the Mayo Clinic while sex causes uterine contractions, they aren't the kind that start labor and they said will no start pre-term labor. Obviously they had the disclaimers for certain conditions and to check with your doctor, but it made me feel better. Here is the link.

TMI Alert: I had a really bad BM yesterday and wound up all but destroying my parents' toilet. My mom offered to help me cut it up with a knife to get it to flush, I about died, but that's beside the point. My SS moment was that I strained so hard to pass it finally (I know you're not suppose to, but I was past the point of no return and couldn't just pull my trousers up and drink some prune juice) that I was worried for half the day that I might have done something to baby with my uterus since everybody says the pushing is similar muscle action compared to giving birth. I also asked DH a million questions about hemorrhoids since I've never had them before and was scared that this would have been what had done it.

I wore a non-maternity skirt to an important meeting (last Friday). Later, after I changed into my regular maternity pants, I poked and prodded the fetus because I was half-convinced that I had "squished" him. lol.

I was the biggest SSest of them all yesterday, especially given my history of virtual fisticuffs when people mention their weight on pregnancy sites. I pulled out a maxi dress from my closet yesterday, size petite/small, and it fucking fit me. I was in such a good mood because of it that I drove my husband around all day so he could watch March Madness and pound beers. He kept calling me the best wife ever. I of course agreed with him, though we all know credit is due to Old Navy and their laughable inconsistency in sizing. Whatevs. My bump and boobs rocked the hell out of that dress.
