Pregnant Irrational Irritations

[sunfrogger88]

My husband apparently thinks it's ok to share my food.

I just want my dog to cuddle with me and not on HIS terms. As soon as my SO enters the room, I don't exist anymore.

Let me love youuuuuu

This is me every single night. I follow him around to cuddle and say let me love you! He then goes to another spot and I sulk telling DH I told you so.

[feffy]

Underwear and changing it too many times.

People nagging me about being team green again. They are kidding themselves if they think this somehow matters to them. Fuck off.

DH asking for sex.

[feffy]

Man, some of you have it all wrong. I WISH people would baby me!

The worst part about being pregnant in the summer is the combination of the already swamp crotch situation with the sweat factor. I feel so gross 90% of the day, and am sick of changing my damn skivvies.

Full panel maternity pants that don't have a nude colored panel. And why I continue to buy them even though they're black paneled and can be seen through most of my light colored shirts?

FTFY. You couldn't pay me to wear full-paneled maternity pants. No way, no how.

Whhaaaa? These are my favorite! The demi panels are so uncomfortable for me after a certain point. I don't mind under the belly stuff, but it has to fit right or it's constantly falling down. Maybe it's just my body shape or because I carried DD so low most of the time? IDK. I love full panels for the support. At the end of the day I can't wait to take it off but for work...need full panel.

When DH comes home from work and naps on the couch, he snores loudly and doesn't offer to do anything around the house.

I can only wear the under belly ones. Anything with a panel starts rolling down. I have to keep hiking it up and it's super noticeable under a shirt.

I wore these my whole pregnancy. They were super comfortable and I could wear them to work.

I mean, yeah I have to hike it up too, but I still like the support. I find I have to hike up all the pants regardless so...there's that. I really don't like the demi/partial panels though, they're good for a few weeks between regular and full on maternity but otherwise no.

Yeasting it up. I'm ready to bake some damn bread over here.

I hate the panels though because they don't breathe. They're itchy. I'm always tucking a cotton undershirt into them.

[EmeraldEyes85]

I'm late to the party (blame it on the time zones ) but.... people (yes MIL I mean you!) trying to touch my belly, event though I'm net even 9 weeks yet, and there is nothing to feel!

I am very particular about my private space, and this might become an issue later on. I am already trying to think of ways to tell people not to touch me without being offensive. Since when does pregnancy make you public property in any case?

[booklover811]

Re: being team green

I can't stand when I tell people we aren't finding out the sex and they say things like "good girl!" and "oh that is soooo much better!" I didn't ask for your opinion. This was a very heated decision between H and I. I wanted to find out and am still holding a little resentment about not, so every time someone says something like this I want to punch them.

Whenever people did this to me early on I'd say something like "yep, that's my Egg McMuffin baby," or "that's poop." Usually the first and last time they touched my belly.

Maybe I should provide a list of things that don't make me irrationally irritated these days. The list will be shorter. Let's start with sleep. I sleep.

[chad5285]

I don't think this is irrational but it pissed me off so much that I needed to share. I was leaving the grocery store yesterday and this lady was scratching off her lottery tickets beside the shopping carts. The first three she had scratched were obviously not winners because she had ripped them into tiny pieces and dropped them on the ground under her feet. WTF lady?? Would you do that at home? I was so mad I couldn't even say anything because I knew it would be over the top and I didn't want MH to get a call that I needed to be bailed out of jail.

Negative people. I don't mean people who are just having a bad day - I mean that perpetually negative person who is a downer every time they fucking open their god damn mouths. If you are unhappy with your life, DO SOMETHING TO CHANGE IT! Or at least see a therapist.

AMEN! I can't stand that shit. I notice it with some posters on TCF, too, and I feel bad for them because I feel like it must be so stressful to live that way.

[fuzzylogic]

My husband was annoying the ever living shit out of me this morning. I was screaming at him for him to go to work and get out of my hair. He was just walking around the house, yelling my name (he says he does this so he can "find" me like a game of Marco Polo...our house is less than 2,000sq ft and one story), being a jerk about sprinklers, and just being in my hair.

ADHD is a sonofabitch some days with him.

I have lost friends over this kind of behavior. I offered help, guidance, and was met with anger and the silent treatment. Oh well.

I would reach over and touch their belly. Then tell them that the baby is the size of a tater tot and the bloat is food/poop.

I have a coworker like this. It's the worst. I call her the dementor. I wear headphones most of the time.
This annoyance is not remotely irrational.

True. Maybe this would have been better in a twatwaffle thread. I just thought maybe my desire to dropkick her in the face was irrational.

I just hate that people have an opinion when we tell them we aren't finding out the sex. Saying omg I don't know how you could do that is so silly to me. It's not that much longer, and frankly it won't change anything for us!

Can't. Too hot. Will faint. Plus the panel is starting to get too tight and cut off blood circulation to my belly.

Skirts are out too, since my thighs are now chafing like a MF. And the spanx/body glide/deodorant do not work.

Can't I just not go outside in public rest of the summer?

DH ate the last of the ice cream and cookies and my Reese's cups I had in the freezer yesterday. Will murder.

This is SIL. All the time.

But apparently I'm the bitch because I stay quiet around her - I don't want to say anything I'll regret.

Re: chafing, have you tried Lanacane? They make anti-chafing gel and it feels like silk when you walk. Needs to be reapplied throughout the day, but it makes such a difference!
